Introduction

As any cohabitating couple will tell you, the dirt doesn’t usually show its face until you move in together. During the courting phase, the best foot is always forward and any unique characteristics are considered adorable. And then you decide to live under the same roof, sharing what seems to be ever-shrinking space and discovering all of each other’s habits and idiosyncrasies. Some fall under that cute and adorable heading…others, not so much. We go through the same process with our cars, gaining appreciation for certain aspects over time and developing a genuine hatred for less desirable features. With this in mind, we’ve followed up our original coverage of the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour by spending a week with this new crossover, testing it for everything from grabbing groceries to plowing through snow.
