Comments
Favorite feature:	Styling in & out.
Least favorite feature:	suspension a bit hard on bumps
Advice to buyer:	Good combo between handling/ride, but tight suspension could be annoying for those who live in areas with poor roads.
Detailed review:	Though the Sonata & Camry offered more standard eqpt./value for the buck, I chose the Accord for its overall styling, performance & color choices. The 4 cyl. is peppy & smooth with very good gas mileage, & the leather interior is of high quality & very comfortable--the exterior paint job is flawless. There are a few omissions: 1)No fogs or auto dim. mirror as std. eqpt. 2)No option offered on EX 4 cyl. for VSA/TC. 3)No auto door locks when car is in gear. 4)Idle is a bit rough when air is on. 5)Gear shift should have D(drive) at bottom, not middle, cuz it too easily goes into 3rd gear. 6) Trunk needs storage bins or cargo tray above spare. (The majority of these items are offered on the Camry XLE & Sonata Limited, which are very good cars. The interior/exterior colors/styling are the reasons I chose the Accord over the Camry/Sonata.)
Also considered:	2007 Toyota Camry 2006 Hyundai Sonata
