Improvements? Other than a lower price, I can't think of any.
Perfect car? Pretty well. Dead reliable, not too big, lots of space for my gear, a terrific handling vehicle (heavy duty suspension...sway bars front and rear), great on gas, plenty of features (power everything) I like that definitely improve my driving experience, and absolutely none that do not.
It is not just practical and able to cover my basic transportation and gigging needs...it is also a joy to drive...I'll take it for a spin for no other reason other than just to enjoy it's terrific driving experience.
Would I want an Odyssey, to me, Honda's equivalent of a Tyros3? Nope, I don't lack for anything in my Accord SE.

Ian...I too have a Honda Accord and I fully understand why you feel that way about yours ... it is a very comfortable, smooth ride, and it has LOTS of power and it is a 10 year old vehicle ...
http://www.edmunds.com/honda/accord/2000/index.html on a recent drive I had to catch myself a couple of times because without realizing it I was driving over 80 MPH !!!
... of course it didn't help that other cars were still PASSING me ...
BUT, when it comes to a true DRIVING experience, I take the 2003 BMW 325Ci out of the garage ... now THAT is a
RIDE ... the BMW to the Honda is kind of like a technics to any other kb
JUST KIDDING !!! ...
But I will say SOMETHING negative about the beemer - it doesn't have nearly enough room for my gear - ... unless it's a summer gig and I can drive with the top down
