The Toyota that is in the same category as the Accord Euro is the Camry, not the Aurion. The Thai Accord is the one that is in the same category as the Aurion.Quote:

Personally i go to F&E cause it's competitively priced and the mechanics bro has an accord euro so knows what his doing.
So what tires are there for a smooth quiet ride?
Front Tires: Turanza ER300 205/55R16 91V
Rear Tires: Dunlop Direzza DZ101 205/50R15 85V
Does this create a problem with ride balance, steering or ride quality? They all have around 1-1.5mm thread left.
Suprisingly The Aurion shares the same cabin dimensions as the Camry, just the aurion looks bigger. In terms of engine size obviously aurion is v6 compared to 4 cyl camry.Quote:

If you want a softer ride, go buy a cloud.
Everyone has different taste and preferences obviously.Quote:

But if your taking lets say more mature people or ladies trying to apply make up euro on a road that has bumps will not give the best support haha it doesn't absorb the bumps it goes CLUNK etc which is not the best impression for what is supposed to be a mid luxury vehicle.
Think about it from other perspectives, personally if i was just me im happy with it but when taking people out who are little more mature it gives a good impression but not the best.
I think AMG mercedes combines sports with smooth ride the E series AMG, but hey thats gonna cost heaps.
Hopefully blistein will do the same job. You are right that other larger cars are like boats though, but they absorb bumps better too.
or replace the seats with custom made pieces of latex or viscous elastic mattress? :pQuote:

I just got myself a brand spanking new Accord Euro (base model, not Lux) and I do find it significantly firmer ride, than my 2004 Nissan Maxima. I'm also wondering if you change the stock shocks what will it do to the warranty.
things you need to consider:Quote:

CU2 Standard is supposed to be a sharper drive than the Lux. The CU2 lux has softer suspension rates apparently, but does have 18" wheels instead of 17".Quote:

Like buying a mini and complaining that there's no room..........
