This is the second new Honda Accord I have owned. Love them both except the traction control on the new 09 coupe stinks in snow. It works great on water etc. but could get you killed on snow and ice. Our 07 accord sedan is much better in bad weather. The throttle is direct and quick. It does not control the throttle as our 09 coupe. Also, the electronic throttles suck as well. Hondas are a great auto and The Honda Motor Company is second to non, but they need to loose the automatic throttle nonsense. Trying to make the cars idiot proof ruins the driving experience and I believe it makes them dangerous in some situations. The electronic throttle response is definitely slower than direct and could endanger your life when quick response is needed. thanks.
