Ok, so I'm getting the new 2009 Accord Coupe sometime this month, but I have not decided on which trim yet. I can't afford the EX-L V6 so it's going to have to be one of the I4 cars. From what I learned when researching the cars, the LX-S, EX, and EX-L all have the same 5 speed 190 HP engine the only difference between the 3 are the accessories on the car.

I've been quoted $19K for the LX-S and around $23,700 for the EX-L, which is damn good for both trims! I test drove the LX-S today and fell in love with it! Smooth handling and the manual transmission is like butter!! Simply AMAZING! I was VERY impressed by the car.

The problem here is that NO ONE in my metroplex has a 5 speed black on black EX-L coupe, which is what I really want! But everyone's got the LX-S 5 speed black on black. Are the leather seats, moonroof, and a few other minor accessories worth the extra $4,000 and the wait for the EX-L? Or should I just go ahead and get the LX-S?

Just looking for some opinions, suggestions, etc.

Thanks!

 

If it were me,and i really could care about leather,i will get the LX-S,butthen again I am not to privy on the 09 accords.

Good luck,and be happy with whatever trim you get.

 

A coupe with no moonroof is like bread with no butter!

Call dealers around you and see if they have the black on black... when we were buying our Acura MDX they didnt have one with Navi and DVD in Starlight Silver... they looked it up on the "magic Acura database" and one call later we had one being trailered from a Chicago dealer.

 

search for the right car. unless you have no car right now, take the time to find the correct one for you.

 

I do have a car right now, which I'm looking to sell or trade in. So I'm not THAT much in a hurry. We've called every dealership in the metroplex and no one has it. They said they'd find one for me it put down a deposit, but I'd highly prefer test driving the car I'd potentially be buying cuz I know every car has a different feel. Iono, I may sound picky but this is an expensive investment as i'm sure you all understand.

Anyways, thanks for the suggestions!
