Just inside the guard gate, the world renowned 17-Mile Drive in Carmel,haw Calif., begins with a primarily downhill and often winding two-lane road to Pebble Beach Golf Links. The tree-lined route features lavish, oceanfront homes and a predominately forest-like setting along California's central coast.
It's a perfect several-mile locale for drivers who like to shift through gears.superfine And it's not-so-surprisingly pleasant while doing so in the 2005 Honda Accord.
With its V6, six-speed manual transmission offering, the exceedingly popular model crosses categories. The Accord is listed as a midsize vehicle and it's often compared to the Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.
But the 24-valve, 3.0-liter, 240-horsepower coupe is just as much sports car as it is anything else. And it provides one more reason why the Accord - in its more than 25 varieties - is among the most popular and most often best-buy categorized vehicles on the road.
During my weeklong test drive, I drove the Accord Coupe round-trip from Sacramento to the Monterey Peninsula.orangepee The interstate portion of the journey included about 400 miles. I drove the aforementioned section of the 17-Mile Drive six times round-trip on clear, blue sky days and in heavy rain. It made little difference.
In all driving conditions, the Accord Coupe performed with confidence. Steering and handling is responsive and poised. Lane changes are smooth. While not as quick as other vehicles categorized as sports cars, the Accord Coupe accelerates well and finds its ways through gears more than adequately. Its 17-inch wheels further add to the tight road feel. The Accord's ride is also adequately quiet.
Like all Hondas, the Accord Coupe's interior is designed in a straightforward manner. Gauges and all instrumentation are clean and used simply.lower The navigation system is likewise efficient and easy to learn.
Despite its coupe status, front-seat passengers have comfortable leg, body and head room. Back seat passengers (two fit comfortably) have easy access. Side rear-view vision is slightly impeded by headrests and side pillars. The driver's seat, while comfortable for a six-foot, 185-pound driver, is void of the superior seat cushioning of high-end vehicles.
Standard interior features are plentiful: leather-trimmed seats, AM/FM, six-disc CD with six speakers, XM satellite radio, heated front seats, power window and door locks, illuminated visor vanity mirrors, cruise control, exterior temperature gauge, sunglass holder and well- positioned armrests and storage compartments.
Finding fault with the Accord is difficult, but cargo room could be better, and average city mileage numbers aren't special. Yet, the Honda Accord has built its reputation through the years for good reasons. It does everything well, and offers reliability and great resale value.
Whether a buyer opts for the base LX four-door, four-cylinder sedan, the EX V6 four-door sedan or the EX, V6 coupe,answers the sportiest model of all, it's hard to improve upon the Accord or find any vehicle with more to offer for the price.

question is answered
This is a question all world leaders should be asked and we should know what that answer is. So much of our life depends on how that question is answered and how we answer that question for ourselves.
Consider this, as much as we have evolved as a human race we still struggle to understand that war cannot bring peace. War at best can only boast the suppression of an unwanted voice. What it does not boast is the seeds of transgressions it places into the future of humanity. It is in this light that we will see the unrest that shakes our planet; you may say 'why should I care what goes on somewhere else' without realising that crimes against any living thing affects this universe.
We have tried war, but yet it hasn't ended suffering. It doesn't matter how dynamic our weapons become someone will always find a way to build a bigger gun. We haven't figured out that peace is not based on one person or one nation getting its own way, but on nations showing that despite their differences they can come up with ways that encourages peace for everyone. That is the leadership that is required to bring peace.
However even at the highest levels of government in most countries they are divided amongst party lines not realising that having half of a nation on your side still leaves you with half a nation whom you have no influence.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge we face is upon us all, but especially those that lead our nations. They face the challenge of building economic and social stability in their lands, not an easy tasks these days with they're being so many dividing lines. Divided by culture, race, religion, financial, social, gender and economic lines. There are so many dividing lines its hard to keep up.
However it is time to stand with our leaders and encourage them to extend the hand of peace to those that oppose them and do what is necessary to remove the dividing lines. It's time to ask our leaders and governments what they actually believe and wait to see what their actions are. It's the responsibility of all humans to understand the reasons why we go to war with another country.
Many of today's wars are in a fight for the earth's resources that can bring financial wealth. In fact many nations today have been living off the resources from other countries through acts of war and today's challenges are shouting at us that this cannot continue. If we need the resources from other countries we should be willing to pay without trying to monopolise it.
The challenge our leaders of today have is the need to begin to lift the awareness of its people to their own resourcefulness as well as removing the lines that divide them and increase conflict. It is time that we looked within as people, as nations, as a part of the human race and take responsibility for our world and by increasing our awareness. Not only will this individual be made aware of their own resources within, but through its success, the nation that does this, will lift other nations who will eventually look to them having exhausted every other impossibility for peace.
Lets face it everyone wants peace, we just struggle to understand what that may require of us; yet until we lift our awareness of who we are and how resourceful we can be we will always look on the outside of us and believe that peace is held in something else.
Our leaders face many great challenges; lets support them lifting our awareness and remove our own dividing lines. Recommended articles：等青花的時候│などの靑と白の時│我的老媽│私のお母さん│老爸的肩膀
