A lot of Honda road noise is due to tires. If is really, really bothers you you can change to quieter tires and significantly reduce the noise. Enjoy your car.

Hello everyone,
 
Just purchased mine, will be picking it up today. I wanted to check in and ask how should I drive the new car, since this is my first car ever. Would appreciate any tips that you guys may have, specifically maintenance or how to drive it initially. I am in NJ and was able to get it for 19k OTD, which I think is pretty decent deal.
 
thanks for the help.

New Hondas are great. You just drive easy for the first 600 miles. Try not to use cruise control or keep it a the same speed continously; vary your speed.
 
Be easy on the brakes the first 200 miles.
 
Perform you oil change as recommended by Honda, around 5,000 miles; don't change early!
 
Other information is in your owners manual.
 
Enjoy you new car,

performance in rain or snow by capt41470

Hi guys
 
I'm looking to get an 06 accord V6. I understand that they are front wheel drive cars. My question is how do they drive in the rain or snow. I've own a blazer for 10 years now and have had the luxury of having a 4x4. So I was just wonder if u guys can share your thoughts and experiences of driving your accord in bad weather. Thanks
Kevin

I live in Wisconsin (and we do get alot of snow), and I have a 60 mi round trip to work. I've been driving front wheel drive cars for the 26 years that I have made the drive, and I can say I have yet to get stuck in the snow. Obvioiusly a front wheel drive won't do well off roading, but for on the road driving in snow and/or rain you will be very pleased. The only problem I saw with a friends front wheel drive econo-box car was it was a little on the light side, and tended to feel a little skiddish in the snow. She ended up having to add a few sand bags on the floor in the back seat to add a little weight, but like I said it was a lightweight car, alot lighter then what Honda currently offers.
 
I'll admit I do enjoy passing up 4x4 vehicles that end up in the ditch during a heavy snowstorm, not that my car can go through the snow better, its just some 4x4 drivers here in WI seem to think they can go as fast as they want, and because of that, they push it too much and get themselves in trouble. OK, I got a little off the subject, and I'm sure you don't overdue it in your 4x4, I just had to vent a little.

Accord V6's have traction control, an advantage on snow, ice and rain.

Hi, just purchased a 94 5sp sedan. 128000k and really clean. Very happy to be finally driving a Honda. What took me so long? I'll read through some discussions before asking my questions.
