Accord Questions

I'd ask the dealer, or post in the Honda group to check this.

The larger wheels and shorter sidewalls will give you better handling at a slight expense in ride comfort. It depends on whether you like a firmer, more responsive car or a softer, more luxury oriented car. Drive both and see what you think. The handling difference will only be obvious in faster corners.

See above. I don't know if they change other components in the particular year you are looking at. The Honda ng-group would be a better resource for that.

PZEVs offer improved emissions at less cost than hybrids, though fuel economy remains less than HEVs

Partial zero-emission vehicles, or PZEVs, are also golden for auto manufacturers struggling to comply with California's notoriously strict auto emissions regulations.

PZEVs, and the even less-polluting AT-PZEVs ? the AT is for advanced technology ? cost little more than a standard gasoline-fueled internal combustion auto. PZEV's emit 90 percent less pollution.

PZEV's are cleaner than most electric-gasoline powered hybrid vehicles, and cost only about a hundred dollars more than a similar, higher-emissions model.

The EX handles and performs quite better with components not found on the LX. 16" rim/tires?

Large diameter rims = performance Large diameter tires = wobbly experience

Overall, the width is essentail for performance. The LX is so stripped down beyond bearable. If you have a passion for the road or hates spin-outs then the EX is for you...the EX is a stallion, the LX is a horse-drawn wagon. -IMO

Wait a minute.. we're talking about Honda Accords............ you're comparing a snail to a turtle.
