Humm I wouldn't know exactly but I thought magnetic adaptive dampers have infinitely adjustable settings of equivalent clicks in the thousands.

I don't think wheel size is the problem, but the mass would affect it somewhat. Magnetic dampers have on the fly adjustable damping rate, but the computer has no idea how the wheel is reacting so if you put a much bigger wheel that's heavier the rebound rate would be a bit off, I think.

Whether that matters, I think probably not. I imagine the magnetic dampers probably loosen up quite a bit after a bump, then stiffen back up as the wheel has moved closer to its original position.

Ugly ... no fugly! I had a big Honda admiration from my childhood ... so many beautiful designs, wonderful cars since then ... until 2002 when they started to deform Accord. And this is the end of it, Honda completely lost me with this one. Even Kia designs better lately.

This is because Honda hired the head designer from GM/Saturn to make the new Accord back around 2001. Kia hired their chief designer from Audi back around 2006.

If I was interested in a sedan, the Honda Accord Sport with the 2.0T would be up there.
