The only thing about discs all around I see as a major benefit is that they are very easy to work on since they are such a simple design. Basically there are some hydraulics, a few pads, and a rotor as opposed to the many springs and whatnot that are contained within drum brakes. It's not an important enough point though that a buyer should pass up something that is otherwise well suited to them. |

Replying to: slawenda (Jul 26, 2005 8:37 pm) Even if this is not the case, it is easy enough to adjust the "boost" or "assist" on power steering units to overcome any weight difference. Even within GM, assist levels used to be set relative to the make of the car (Buicks were famous for overboosted steering). The point is, the assist on the power steering could have easily been manipulated to make up for the extra weight. Perhaps the steering was made stiffer in the V-6 to reflect the emphasis on performance vs the I4? Many people feel that stiffer steering allows them to "feel more of the road". This would make more sense to me.

Thanks everyone for the input. I have decided to go after the EX model than the LX, if the price is right. I 've also posted in the "price" forum to guage what prices people are finding. I hope to score a 4 door auto cloth EX for $20K. Wish me luck!

Replying to: mbx4steve (Jul 27, 2005 3:41 pm) Anyone care to guess when information on the '06 Accords will come out? Judging by past news releases on Hondanews.com, it looks like it might be as late as September 1. Will dealers get any info (brochures, demo cars) before then?

Replying to: lx_steal (Jul 28, 2005 3:22 pm) The Honda Inspire is essentially the American Accord. Note that in the video, the front is chromed, but the car body is the same as the U.S. Accord. I think it's sold as the Honda Inspire in Japan. The Acura TL is based on the Accord body and I think all TLs are made in Ohio--whether there's a car that looks like the Acura TL sold elsewhere under the Honda name, I don't know, but I doubt it. The Acura TSX is an upscale European (and maybe Asian) Accord--you will see Honda Accords that look like our Acura TSX in the U.K. and elsewhere. No guarantee about any of the above info, but I think it's accurate.......Richard |
