I wouldn't consider this very highly, and at $35k, it's not exactly cheap. Hey Jeff, for $30k, would you rather your WRX, or this coupe for $5k more?
Fwiw, the CX-3 has LEDs available up front for everything, also has auto high beams, and, gasp, a volume knob.
The WRX wouldn't hold a candle to the Accord as far as driving feel, ride and interior comfort are concerned. I mean sure, the Accord's no Lexus, but let's be honest here, the WRX is pretty horrid inside.
Yeah, the WRX has a trump card that the Accord doesn't have, and that's AWD. BUT, if you're not particularly concerned about AWD, then the pleasures that you get from the Accord (a refined driving experience) are completely different from that of the WRX (fun, fun, fun).
Look at it this way: If you had to do a 2000km road trip with two people, which would choose? A WRX or an Accord Coupe? I'd pick the Accord Coupe 99% of the time (that other 1% is reserved for if road trip HAS to be held during a blizzard and can't be postponed).
And why mention the CX-3? It's not in the same ballpark, and would likely NEVER be cross-shopped with an Accord of any type, coupe or sedan.
