I've had one for a few years now. After my last W203 had HVAC issues that no one could fix I traded it in for a Crosstour.
I'm the first to admit that the styling is controversial but I happen to like it. I threw a set of Nokian WRG3's on it (I run them year-round) and the car was just as stable as my W203's with a set of dedicated snow tires (Blizzaks). I don't even consider taking it off-road (that's what my Range Rover is for) but as a commuter vehicle in Chicagoland it is the perfect choice for me.

When I saw it I immediately remembered the problems of driving a GM SAAB 93 Viggen, it had absolutely horrible rear visibility.

The SAAB was really a nice car otherwise - crazy acceleration on the highway.

This Accord is about as exciting as mud. useful but boring

Any car can be exciting, you just need to drive it right . I can even get some excitement out of the Buick now and then.

I think your original word works here well. Like, parts exiting the vehicle randomly as you take a turn.

Meanwhile they're busy canceling the only real wagon they sold in the US.

GO!
I'm gonna wake you up early,
'Cause I'm gonna take a ride with you.
We're goin' down to the Honda shop,
I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
Put on a ragged sweatshirt,
I'll take you anywhere you want me to.

(Refrain)
First gear; it's all right!
(Honda, Honda; go faster, faster! )
Second gear; I'll lean right!
(Honda, Honda; go faster, faster! )
Third gear; hang on tight!
(Honda, Honda; go faster, faster! )
Faster; it's all right!

It's not big motorcycle;
Just a groovy little motorbike.
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys,
That two-wheeled bike.
We'll ride on out of the town,
To any place I know you'll like.

(Repeat Refrain)

It climbs the hills like a Matchless,
'Cause my Honda's built really light.
When I go in to turn and I hang on tight.
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight.

(Repeat Refrain)

Fortunately, I have managed to hold onto all of the parts of the car so far, except for a hubcap, and that's 'cuz of our darned potholes...
