Isn't the Accord wishbone suspension all round or something?

That's a vastly superior setup to the FN2's front struts and rear solid axle when it comes to ride quality.

You notice it the most when the road is extra bumpy as the rear beam means you feel a lot more of it.

Sometimes I wish I bought a car that had multi link rear or something that wasn't a solid rear beam as on my 1.8 Civic...

Get a 1.8 manual as it'll likely be better on fuel and not cost so much if it goes wrong.

It's all the car you'll need but maybe not want. The mk9 is probably nicer than a mk8 on day to day usage as it's just a tad more modern although overall similar underpinning.

I can't really fault mine for all round usability and costs. It's even very DIY friendly.
