I look for rides that are comfortable, and luxurious. Accord brings that home. Not only is the interior spacious, the design is spot-on. It's armrest is wide and extendable, which adds a whole dimension of comfort that a comparable Mazda 6 doesn't have. It can accelerate quickly and doesn't lose much power when you have a full load (5 people + luggage). I would go down to Portland/Seattle/Spokane often for Amway functions. It's a very reliable, spacious vehicle.
