Replying to: backy (Jan 01, 2005 7:52 am) What ever negative people says about the HAH, I still find very exciting to drive my HAH, a high performance car, with the MPG at least 30 miles in the city and 38 - 40+ MPG on highways. I have owned so many Hondas (autos and motorcyles) in the last 40 years so I am very confident with Honda's products. HAH, the Top Accord wins again adn again! Go with HONDA/ ACURA for top performance.

Replying to: viet (Jan 01, 2005 10:02 am) This morning I drove my 10 year old buddy Accord 95 EX I4 to the supermarket to do some grocery purchases. It still ran like a...DREAM. It has never wanted to stop running with its full force of 145HP. Amazingly ! It ran so smooth, quiet, no vibration. Last night, I drove it to a New Year Eve.'s party and it ran 80 miles/ hour with no vibration or anything else except a little bit road noise due to its...age. I am going to drive my HAH to my uncle's home now to show off to him my new HAH at his request. He is considering to buy a Honda Element soon. I have been very happy with my line of Accords. I do not have the needs to buy an Ody or an Element or a van. Besides, the HAH is my top choice as I have been insane with its rocketing 255HP (110 additional HP compared to my loyal buddy 95 EX). Honestly, I have never disappointed with my Accords' performance as I have maintained them at top conditions. They just run and run. I have been waiting for the HAH for years since Honda introduced the Insight in 1999. I was happy to pay MSRP to get that hot HAH. As I plan to keep it for a long time, therefore, investmentwise I am still OK.

We have noticed pronounced interference (static) on the FM radio (all channels) when the electric assist engages. It does not happen on the XM radio or on AM radio. Has anyone else noticed this?

Replying to: gagrice (Dec 31, 2004 8:00 am) if there's a problem with the 3.2l it would having too much torque for a FWD vehicle. my accord V6 jumps off the line and doesn't need high rpm to drive with spunk though revving up the engine is hard to resist sometimes. there's no comparison between GMs 3.5l/3.8l and honda's V6s be it at 1/10, 2/10 .... 10/10 speed. yes, i have driven many miles with GM's 3.8l and have a reference for comparison. GM should be applauded for the gas mileage they have achieved with the 3.5l but then you're not getting the same performance as with a honda V6 and you have to deal with the agriculture sounds from the pushrod. i guess GM is just being stupid in having the lacrosse CXS propelled with their 3.6l OHC. never mind that it has more muscle at all speeds than the 3.8l.

Replying to: venus537 (Jan 01, 2005 5:59 pm) I think the thrust of the debate was trying to get the most MPG out of a larger vehicle. The Acura with the 3.2L came up and according to some on the Acura board they get Lousy gas mileage. The consensus on that thread was that the Honda V6 engines do not get their torque at as low RPM as the GM V6 engines do. Therefore you do not get the gas mileage you get from a GM car of comparable size. I believe to get the same or slightly higher torque out of the Acura 3.2L engine you have to be almost 2000 rpm higher. That is not what I consider a good torque range. Then I would rather have the Honda diesel with the torque coming on at 2000 RPM.

"What ever negative people says about the HAH, I still find very exciting to drive my HAH" Viet, There are very positive people with negative things to say about the HAH. Every vehicle on earth attracts negative opinion, even perfect cars like BMWs! So Viet continue enjoying or should I say worshipping your car and dont care what those Honda Heathens have to say about your HAH.

http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12929-1421140,00.html You want great cargo space and seating capacity for six with minimum gas mileage? You want great mileage without paying the premium price for a hybrid? Then how about the Honda FR-V. Unfortunately an FR-V is a bit too practical for us North Americans. In Europe, more practical buyers have high demand for such models, finding practicality, usability and features, with superior fuel economy and lower operating costs. Or even better imagine a FR-V hybrid version! Wonder what the gas mileage would be on that vehicle(it would probably be worth paying a premium for hybrid)? |

Replying to: dewey (Jan 01, 2005 7:22 pm) The NAVI. is very helpful to help me calculate (1) direct routes, (2) routes with maximized highways, (3) routes with less freeways, etc. All are voice-activated. The engine completely shuts off at every stop signs and immediately comes back on line when I release the brake. Seems like my HAH flies on the streets and over the hills effortlessly. I have rarely driven any car over 70 miles/ hour but sometimes on tight schedules I have had to beat the clock and my other Accord V6 EX 200 HP gives me greatest joy because it literally "flies" on highways. Now, the HAH may be a "real rocket" as Honda Inc. has been proudly proclaiming.
