Oh, I bought a new car. And a new camera. I always had an eye on Lexus RX350. But when the time came, I ended up thinking quite a bit about which car to buy. I drive a lot, and mostly alone. So, I figured I did not an 8-seater. I also could not justify driving a gas guzzler for hauling just 165 lbs of my weight. However, I wanted a car big enough that would not get sucked out of lane if an 18-wheeler whizzed by. Plus of course, I wanted some cool gadgets in the car. And finally, I did not want to pay a hefty price. I set out to find a good car with all these requirements in mind. After comparing Lexus, Acura, Toyota, Audi and Honda, I zeroed in on Honda Accord V-6 EX-L with Navigation. After negotiating with a couple of dealers, I ended up getting it about two weeks back. I could not have been happier with my decision. Here are some of the things I absolutely love about it:
- Beautiful Navigation System.
- WMA/MP3 capable, In-dash 6-CD Changer (and connectivity with an external music player as well). A fabulous sound system.
- Bluetooth connectivity for my phone. I do not need a headset anymore.
- Variable Cylinder Management - resulting in up to 34mpg on the highway.
- Very useful Trip Computer.
- And I think I am going to keep the XM subscription that came with it. There is one Bollywood channel that plays Hindi music pretty much all the time.
