I bought this car because of consumer report saying it was one of the top cars...I've been very disappointed. Day 2 I was stranded, replaced alternator, wheel bears while in garage. 18 months later the shifting doesn't feel right, inspecting checking tranny fluid level, fluid color was grey, with further inspection found transmission fluid in cooling system. Further inspection found defective transmission cooler, which lead to contaminated transmission and engine cooling system. A cooler is inexpensive,a motor and tranny are not!!!
Problem is not fixed yet, may have to junk my Accord...buyers beware of the this defect !

I've lost faith in Honda and consumer reports !
