. The Accord is way too big. The Civic is also pretty large, but I have issues with its styling (in and out) and the terrible electronic throttle. I haven't driven the new TSX, but friends and purists tell me the current one is now watered down in a desperate attempt to reduce fuel consumption and cater to more "luxury" buyers. The Fit is a nice piece and well thought-out, but I wouldn't
want one. The s2k is nice, but I prefer the pre-facelift model and well, its 2008 now so they're at least 5 years old at this point; roadsters in general are also too sporty for me.
It would be nice if we got more overseas models, but I guess folks in America somehow want more interior space (I still do not understand this concept) and more luxury gadgets.
