2012 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe 2-Door 3.5L 6 Speed Manual Trans w/Leather Additional photographs at the bottom of the listing. This coupe is practically, as new, it still has the new car smell and in like new mechanical condition. Purchased in August 2012, it is my go south car for the winter. It has never seen snow and always garaged and covered with the included Honda Accord Full Car cover. Mechanically she is flawless. Mobil 1 ever since the first oil change at around 1K Miles. Oil is usually time change with 80-90% oil life remaining and I only use OEM Honda Parts. Oil service due this month and tire rotation will be accomplished before buyer takes delivery. Brakes are excellent and flawless. All interior comfort features function. The independently controlled heat and cooling work flawlessly. The fuel economy is exceptional for a car this size, she has only had 16 stops at the gas station averaging around 34MPG at legal highway speeds and gets around 29MPG around town using Sunoco 93 Octane fuel(not required but always used). It actually does better than my 07' Civic Si. You will not find a more stunning example of this car anywhere on eBay. Full description of factory equipment at the end of this listing. The full Honda bumper to bumper warranty is in effect till 09/2015. That's 36 Months or 36, 000 Miles, whichever comes first. When this Accord Coupe was purchased, several options, I felt necessary, were installed. Suspension and Tires: Having owned a 2009 Coupe, always appreciated the fine mix of comfort and performance but for serious highway cruising I always felt the suspension was lacking. Toss the Accord coupe around and it will push into corners, which is to be expected from a front-wheel driver weighing in at 3, 400 pounds and the factory installed all-season tires don't help. The Honda Factory Performance (HFP) Suspension Package. Before taking delivery, the dealer installed the HFP struts, revised springs and rear control arms. Mated to the new suspension were new wheels and shoes. Not only are the HFP wheels attractive, especially with the coupe's Polished Metal Metallic paint, but functionally permitted the installation of aggressive low profile 245/40ZR19s Michelin's Pilot Super Sport Max Performance Summer Tires. I can't say enough about these tires but have included a short Michelin propaganda note at the bottom of the listing. This alone with an expert 4 wheel laser alignment (Specs Included) was $5, 012.10 and is the best performance enhancement you can make to this coupe. Coupled with the last year of the Double Wishbone Front Suspension(12' last year, no longer available) and the Multi-Link Rear Suspension turns this coupe into a drama free highway cruiser comfortable at any speed. Most stunning Accord Coupe anywhere, a conversation piece no matter where I stop. Appearance: This 2012 Accord Coupe has a more aerodynamic front fascia. The fog lights are set into deeper scallops and a larger lower air intake and a bolder grill. At the rear, the taillights are more chiseled, their sides getting a protruding ridge that follow the body character line. Even though the updates enhance this coupes' handsomeness, I had the dealer install appearance package that really brings out her character. You just can not beat the Honda Factory upgrade components, The Body Side Molding, Molded Side Spoilers, Front Under Spoiler and Rear Under Spoiler establish a unique and aggressive appearance package all color matched to the beautiful factory Polished Metal Metallic paint. Well worth the investment of $2, 752.14 and all components are warranted for the same factory period. Overall Driving Experience: This coupe is an absolute joy to drive. The heated front buckets are firm, logging several 12 hour days in the coupe were effortless. There's a surprising amount of room in the back seat for two average-size adults. The added Honda Interior Illumination Kit (Blue) makes driving through the night very comfortable. The Hands Free Bluetooth interface works flawlessly allowing you to conduct a conversation while on the highway. The engine spools quickly and the throttle response is immediate from just about anywhere in the RPM band. As the tachometer needle passes 4, 900 rpm, the VTEC transitions to a high-lift, long-duration intake-cam profile for exceptional power at high-rpm. No wonder Honda’s 3.5L V-6 earned its fourth Ward’s 10 Best Engines trophy since 2005. The motor is coupled to the Honda Close-Ratio ultra slick 6-Speed Manual transmission. Going up and down the gears is a cinch with the hydraulically assisted clutch. The upgraded suspension lowers the entire car and with the Micheli
