I really have my heart set on the 2008 EXL v6 coupe, but with the price of gas and my desire to have more manageable payments I am considering a 4 cylinder coupe. Is the 190HP 4 cylinder still as fun to drive as the 6? Is it more than enough power, or is the 6 just more fun? I figure with lease payments already up there, I should just get the car I want, but when i factor in all of the extra costs, i wonder if it's really worth it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: budh (Jun 27, 2008 4:05 pm)  My Accord Coupe is the 1st Non Mopar vehicle I have ever owned. There are a few things I would change if I were Honda, navi should be standard in all vehicles! Seats could really use a little upgrade they are a nice leather but on long trips.  The standard radio w/XM needs a little help also. The car seems to have pep for a V6. I like the roomy feel of the inside. The style of the car is best in class. Like I said I am a Loooong time Mopar owner but the Accord Coupe beat the Sebring. The mileage is a little vexing at an avg speed of 65 in my Dodge Magnum I can get 24 mi hwy.(5.7 l.) I don't like the fact that other Accord owners by reading some of their posts are only getting an avg of 29.  I know apples to oranges but "Maggie" out weighs "Ally"

I picked up my new EX-L Coupe 3 weeks ago and it rides like a Mack Truck, you feel every crack in the road, every pot hole patch etc. I went over a railroad crossing and my teeth rattled. This is the worse riding Honda I've owned or ridden in. Anyone experiencing this problem??? I'm happy with everything else (so far). If this is normal I will be getting rid of it reguardless of what it will cost me. Thanks for all responses. PS when I test drove the car with the salesman he directed the route, I didn't think anything about it then, maybe I should have been suspicious then.......

Replying to: oldmansi (Aug 27, 2008 1:45 pm) Ride? I would classify this car's ride as 'firm'. I find it fully acceptable. There's great feedback of the road surface conditions through the steering wheel and excellent control and response from the suspension. True, the ride is firm and you feel most of the imperfections on the road through the steering wheel, but that is exactly what most Honda customers want. The driver is more 'connected' to the road. So far, I've only driven the car for a few days, but it's definitely a keeper. I'm 6'-2" and I've been able to adjust the seat and steering wheel to a near-perfect driving position. (There's even some decent clearance remaining above my head to the sunroof). If this was a 1980's or 1990's Honda I would not be able to fit comfortably in the driver's seat. My only (near) future purchase for this car will be a set of four winter tires. This is an absolute necessity at our northern latitude.
