Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 17, 2006 12:32 pm) The moonroof visors are a complete waste, IMO. It does not quiet the wind noise much at all (only up to about 60mph). It doesn't help the looks, and makes it harder to clean that area. It will only stop rain from getting in if you open the roof just a little, and if you never hit the brakes. After water gets under the visor, wind cannot blow the water off, so you have to wait until the water dries up on it's own before you can open the roof without water coming in on you. I made the mistake of buying a visor for my old car, but I didn't make the same mistake twice.

#310 of 314 Howdy! by xgdriver Jul 12, 2008 (10:10 am)
New Alabaster Silver Accord EX V-6 member here. As reflected by my username, I formerly drove an 07 VW GTI but decided to turn it in for something a little more practical and maybe a little more economical and definitely roomier! I do a lot of cycling and with the bike and the rest of my gear in that G, it got mighty mighty cramped sometime. Plus, I didn't feel the Gs were all they were cracked up to be so hopefully I bought a car that'll live up to its reputation of longevity and reliability. I just picked the car up Friday (7.11) and thankfully the VCM hasn't been as noticeable as I'd feared - actually it's not bad at all. I trust it won't become anymore so though I haven't gone up any mountains here in Western PA yet.   I should say I have a dry sense of humor (once described as the Sahara Desert) so keep that in mind in my future posts. Hope these emoticon thingeys work well at conveying the true sentiment.   Look forward to your words of experience.

Replying to: xgdriver (Jul 12, 2008 10:10 am) Congrats on your new car. I bought the EX-L V-6 back on June 17th. I love it. Have taken several long road trips, at times you do notice the VCM change but not to worry no big thing. This is my first Honda and can't beleive I waited so long, but glad I did. Looked at several cars including the Nissan Altima and Pontiac G-6 both with comprobale equipment. I read an artilcle today that the Altima has pulled into first place due to MPG. Interesting story on that. I traded in a 2004 Chevy Avalanche but not at my purchasing dealer, but to Carmax. This is the third car I have sold to Carmax and find you get 2 to 3 thousand more than a dealer. Anyhow while we were waiting decided to look up a few prices. Thats right on the 08 Accord, 08 Altima, and 08 G6. All vehicles had over 15000 miles the Accord the most at 31000. The accord was selling for 26K, the altima 19K and the G6 17K. Now I looked hard at the Altima (owned 2 in the past) and Pontiac G6. The resale pricing nailed down my decision. The Altima new 34K, the G6 26K and I paid 26500 for my Accord. The numbers don't lie.

#313 of 314 3-month Anniversary of 2008 Accord Purchase by jhu1972 Oct 28, 2008 (1:10 am)
Hi all. I picked up my black 2008 V-6 Coupe on July 30th. Love the car. Had owned nothing but Honda Civics (vanilla 79 hatchback, 83 1600S hatchback, 87 Si hatchback, and a 99 dx coupe). It's evident that I have upped the power output exponentially with this purchase. All my prior Hondas were manuals but this time I opted for the automatic. I've read postings on this website and have had no complaints re. the car. I notice the VCM kicking in but don't feel it. Have had no weird noise issues or quality issues. I must admit when I first started reading the postings and problems here I was thinking "What the f*ck, this isn't the Honda I'm used to!" But as I said, I have had no problems with my car. Love the acceleration. Gas mileage is as advertised. Can't wait til my trip from Massachusetts to South Carolina so I can get a true read on the highway mileage. A little concerned about the stock Michelins and snow as I have a long (0.4 mile), unpaved driveway that is only flat for a 100 yards. May opt for winter tires in the future but taking a wait and see approach for now. Traction control should be big difference. (There were times in the past when I left the car at the top of the driveway!) Check with me in the spring Keep Posting Will Replies to this message: tallman1 (Oct 28, 2008 6:35 pm)
