Yea, the Accord's weight is a bit of a stumbling factor, but I myself don't mind the weight issue so much, right now, since the design makes for a smoother, quieter ride(at this point in time, I have a 40 minute commute to and from school every day) Although I do have the advantage of having the coupe, w/ a standard tranny, so that sort of makes up for the weight
However, I do have a slight issue with the use of SOHC, even though supposedly it factors into the smoother ride as well.
