The Passat is gone... Enter the Accord
Yesterday we said goodbye to our Volkswagen Passat, the noble steed that carried the family for 11 years. We reached the point (136,000 miles) where the money spent in maintaining the old girl was getting too much/would be better off going towards a down payment for a new vehicle.
We were blessed with my Grandpa's 2003 Toyota Tundra (future posts on that) a few months ago, so I started driving that while the Tacoma went to my wife.
After we saved up a good chunk of change, the search began, and we landed on a 2026 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. Price was... ok... (it is not a good time to buy a car... well... is it ever?)
We initially looked at a Toyota Camry SE or XLE, but deeper research between the two pushed us towards the Accord. I can say we are super happy with our purchase. The car suits us perfectly. I'll give a more thorough review post later, but off the bat the interior room is huuuuuuge. Like minivan big.
So while we fondly remember the "Battle Sedan" and a manual transmission, we look forward to the future with this new car.
