[Wzs99]

Hey yall

I wanted to know what are you guys thoughts on those new v6 accords?Do you guys think are they worth the money?How good is the performance?Just wanted to know any feed back is cool

[exexexex]

pretty nice rides I think.I have tried a 4-cyl 2003 for several times.Perfomance is good. But it's said that less mods now,have to wait a while.

the 2005 accord is going to feature a v6 with an electronic motor. i know what you're saying... electronic is for pure fuel economy.

wrong.

this engine with feature v6 power while only using 3 cylinders unless you stomp on it. it will have gas mileage comporable to those under 100hp hybrid cars. personally the new accord styling dosent quite suit my tastes, however i think this 2005 accord will be the first of many high performance hybrid cars.

Yeah v6 accords have crazy torque at high speed. Im on the highway and hes next to Me i downshift into 4th and floor it and yeah hes gone im like wtf

there's a guy on vancouver accords with a '03 v6 6spd, who dyno'd at 246hp, 215tq, and he runs low 14's, and all he has is exhaust and intake.

that's not bad at all for a heavy, basically stock car.

I've driven the V6 6speed accord a couple times. what a badass car!

[AccordWarrior]

Plus if you mod them right they can look really nice...a lot nicer than I ever thought



I hope that link works

I've driven the v6 Accords and they have plenty of oomph, but feel noseheavy.

not a fan of the newest accords whatsoever.

Do you guys think are they worth the money?

lx-v6 starts at 23,400 for a coupe; 23,800 for a sedan
ex-v6 starts at 26,500; 26,700 for a sedan

i can think of quite a few cars i would like to have that would be the same price, or less, and be more pleasing.

How good is the performance?

~240 hp stock (quoted from honda)

Just wanted to know any feed back is cool

don't get me wrong, it's probably a very fine car, after all, it's made by honda. but looks wise, it just doesn't do it for me. looks too similar to the current civic for my taste.

knowing it's produced only in north america... should that make me feel special, or wonder why other countries get a better looking, slightly better performing accord?!

honda's going to need to do something about the price of the accord... because if it continues to escalate, i don't know what will happen. it's currently not much cheaper than a baby bmw or a baby benz (325i goes for ~28,500, c230 goes for 28,700 respectively).

btw, why is this in the technical section?

[growguy]

sort of like how the civic of our generation look similar to the accords, only smaller....

My mom has an 03 accord, its a great car, but I just don't like them. It's too big (funny usually people say their car is too small, so Honda tries to make it bigger and bigger.) It's faster than mine though, around 140 hp i think?. It rides well, but a bit too family sedan-ish. Grips the road well without tires squeeling. Comfortable, and a testament to Honda's reputation of producing fine automobiles, but theres no style, no soul. That's something we lose more and more every year in automobiles. I feel the cb7's have more soul than any later model accord, and prob more than some of the earlier models too. I really don't like body style of the latest models, it's just my opinion. Oh and accord warrior- tell whoevers honda that is they already make that car its called an acura tsx. Replace the H with an A and you're all set! Oh and I realized I'm completely off topic now.

..actually, the TSX is based on the "euro accord"
but back on the topic, my brother has a 03 V6(auto), and i love how the car feels and rides even its an auto. he got the Ex V6, with every option except navigation, and got it for $23k. for price, performance, and comfort, its not a bad buy considering we all know how reliable hondas are.

i like the looks of them, but not too much. i like the 2 door of the generation before that. now those were hot

[xScott]

I like em. Not anywhere near as much aftermaket support as I would like though. Although, for the stuff that counts (internals) you can always have stuff custom made and what not. Plus the 6th and 7th gen copues are sexy as hell.
