25k out of the rear brakes? Sounds like I G8 Thanks for the heads up. It was a tough decision between a new Accord Sport and the 2012. The only reason I really wanted the Nav was because of the display. I could care less about the actual nav unit. The new Accords come standard with a big screen and have a TON more tech features. You don't get sat radio unless you step up to the EX-L line in 2013. None of the dealers in the DC area will negotiate on the new Accords. They all want sticker or above. The dealership I was working with was willing to discount $500. With them coming with more features on the lower lines, it actually made the Accord Sport around the same price as the 2012 EX-L with Nav. The new Accords handle really well. Steering is very good for a FWD car and has a lot of road feel. The new CVT trans is seamless and awesome. In the end though, the 2012 I bought had everything I wanted and the price was great. Now it's time to fix the G8.
