Kick down is it! I'll trade in my stick shift anytime for an automatic.

I'm too used to being able to floor it and accelerate. Do that in an automatic and the kick-down just get's very uppity.

Depends on the automatic and the brand. I've driven some frightening automatics.

Honda Accord huh? Actually, as cars go the Accord has always been quite a nice vehicle.

Yes, it's not too bad. Getting a bit old though, bit it gets me places and I don't have many problems with it.

One of my friends had one and it just kept on going. I think it had gone round the odometer nearly 3 times when they eventually got rid of it, very reliable.

Yes it is. The engine pretty good, but mine drives on LPG Gas which is wearing the engine down more than average. I'll see how long it lasts.

Reliable AND environmentally sound. I am impressed...
