Note: I do not know why that blue, winking emoji is at the top of my post. I did not put it there on purpose and can’t seem to get rid of it.

Anyway, here’s my post:

Thank you. All your posts are exactly the kind of information I am looking for. I like first-hand experience.

:I rode with a friend in her Subaru and liked the feel of the ride. I have a friend whose Mercedes rides beautifully, but I am not going to spend that kind of money. I know 3 people who love their Subarus.

I have owned 3 Accords. A 2009, which is still in the family, is tooling right along. I bought that one new.

In Florida, in 2014, I bought a used 2012 Accord that had 10,000 miles on it, from a dealer. It stayed in the house there, but we drove it home one summer for an extra family car and that was when a weird thing happened to it…….

The tie rod broke, just plain broke, on a suburban street at a stop sign. Thank goodness not on an interstate. I always wondered if that used Honda had actually lived near saltwater and not in TV which supposedly it had. I must say that collapsing tie rod undermined my faith in Hondas, but I had already bought my new 2016 at that point. It’s still doing fine.

Even though I somewhat agree with the poster who said that sometimes safety features can actually be a distraction, I do think a bigger screen on the dash would be safer. My 2016 screen looks tiny to me now. I guess if I had not been riding with those friends with their big screens, I would not have known what I was missing. But now I know.

Again, thank you to those who have responded. I hope to hear more.
