Stock is better

Stock Accord fits perfectly into my vision of a car and aligns well with my financial capabilities.

A well-maintained 10+ y.o., in its factory configuration, brings me just as much joy as a high-quality tuned one. The realization that the machine is operated exactly in the form it was created by engineers and designers is priceless.

In my opinion, it’s not worth trying to endow the car with qualities inherent to others (higher power, electronic assistants, noise insulation, aggressive appearance, etc.). Instead, it’s better to purchase one where all the desired characteristics are present in the factory configuration.

It’s easy to succumb to the temptation to buy alternative components, especially considering the cost of original parts. However, from my experience, cheapest is the dearest.

In my case, the choice was made in favor of the factory condition, original parts, and official dealers.

Stock is better.
