but seriously you cant even get a civic for 13k... well maybe a DX or something but... its an Accord... and i would rather get a New car w/out some options than a fully loaded older car... but thats just my opinion.
Hi 94ccOrd - I'm the "guy" (actually I'm a girl!) with the DX - thanks, I totally agree with you! I'm very happy with my DX. I originally was shopping for a civic and, you're right, I couldn't even get a Civic LX for close to that price, and the Civic was nice and all but can't compare to the Accord. I can now use the money I saved to add a few little upgrades (just got a pair of almost-new stock alloys, and the OEM decklid spoiler, which I'll install when I get up the nerve to drill holes in my car!)
As for the stereo - as far as I know (?) noone has yet come up with an adaptor to replace the stock head unit. Also, people with the EX will always have to deal with the fact that the AC controls are integrated with the head unit, although that's not true with the LX or DX. A lot of people have been happy with just upgrading their speakers and adding an amp. That's what I plan on doing pretty soon.
