My girlfriend just got rid of one of these-- the top end, with leather and power everything. I wonder if later generations of Accords will still look this good in old age. Can't beat simple, timeless lines. Didn't like the earlier versions of this generations because of the "Buicky" rear lights--but even these have aged well.

That is one clean ride, great job cleaning it up. My last car was a 2006 LX in desert mist metallic. These are very solid cars. If you haven't already I would recommend doing 3 separate transmission fluid drain and refills with Honda ATF DW-1 as well as changing all other serviceable fluids. I had a 2010 Accord until a few years ago, traded it in on the 2015 Passat TDI. i did 10k oci on the Accord and each time i changed the oil i would drop the transmission fluid, 3 quarts and add 3 new ones. My theory was that was better than going to 60k and then doing the 3x3 quarts all at one time.

Looks great! I like to see a car brought back to decent condition like that. I like the white with tan interior, our '07 Accord is black with a black interior, total pain to keep clean. I have a pair of headlights coming from Amazon for our Accord, as one of them gets water in it. They were surprisingly affordable, about 1/4 the cost of a headlight from Honda. The reviews are good, so worth a try.

How do you like the 2015 Passat? Did you have VW "fix" the emissions equipment?

Still crystal clear and looking good. Can't explain that photo where they looked bad again? It's weird...
