#16260 of 20241 Re: 4 vs. 6 [ktnr] by lmacmil Nov 30, 2004 (2:26 pm)
Replying to: ktnr (Nov 30, 2004 8:57 am) I know the 4 is adequate. I rented a Camry 4 on vacation this summer and only once or twice did I wish for a little more power. I think the main noticeable difference between the 4 and 6 is passing power. With my Olds, I can zip around cars on 2 lane roads and never feel like I should be doing it quicker. That's not the feeling I had with the Camry. When/if I do by an Accord or Camry, I'll spend the $2/day.

"I do by an Accord or Camry, I'll spend the $2/day."   The cost of gasoline and insurance will be higher for the V6. Tires probably will cost more too, since with more power present, we tend to use it more and wear tires down faster. Replies to this message: lmacmil (Nov 30, 2004 3:34 pm)
#16262 of 20241 Clanking sound from the rear by jrock65 Nov 30, 2004 (2:49 pm)
emale,   Can you elaborate on what you mean by "dampner in the back shelf area"?   The sound does sound a lot like the exhaust banging against something, as you described.   How did you fix the problem?   Thanks. Replies to this message: emale (Dec 01, 2004 4:27 pm)

Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 30, 2004 2:38 pm) That's true but I'll suck it up. I'm also looking at used 2004 Acura TLs and Infiniti G35s. Most of those operating costs pale in comparison to the depreciation anyway. I just couldn't go back to a 4 cyl now, no matter how good it is (except for the Acura TSX).

Looking up the metric dimensions for the Accord today, I noticed on Honda Canada's web site that the Accord only comes with a choice of black or ivory interior. Oddly, no exterior color or trim level comes with the gray interior (my favorite interior color and fairly popular overall in the USA).   Can any of you Canadians hazard a guess as to why this is?

Replying to: jrock65 (Nov 30, 2004 2:49 pm) here is the Technical Service Bulletin honda performed on my car:   Make : HONDA Model : ACCORD Year : 2003 Manufacturer : AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. Service Bulletin Num : 03018 Date of Bulletin: MAR 04, 2003 NHTSA Item Number: 10001301 Component: STRUCTURE Summary:  RATTLE FROM THE REAR SHELF. *JB   if i understood correctly...they installed some type of insulation/dampener under the rear parcel shelf so that it wouldn't rattle. in my car the rattle sounded like either the suspension or exhaust was banging on something.   hope that helps...

How often are people changing oil on their Accords?   3750 miles or 7500 miles?   Do more frequent oil changes improve gas mileage?   Also, do you guys use synthetic or regular? Does using synthetic improve gas mileage? Replies to this message: hmurphy (Dec 02, 2004 10:22 am) ktnr (Dec 02, 2004 4:26 pm)
