Replying to: saxon2nsx (May 24, 2009 9:54 pm) "Like I already stated, I fully understand the difference between V4 and I4".   Do you, really? Then, why not type it correctly, and avoid being corrected? I think you should buy a Sebring. Replies to this message: ezshift5 (May 26, 2009 6:41 am)

Replying to: pat (May 25, 2009 12:22 pm) Knowing whether a car is V4 or I4 will not get anyone a better deal when buying. Negotiation skills are not correlated with car knowledge. I have seen people haggle with great finnese and extraordinary skill, getting a very good deal not because they knew the difference between I4 and V4 but because they came from a sales background or were lawyers. I have also seen people who would put 50 average folks to shame with their car knowledge receiving less than decent deals because they lacked negotiations skills. Simply put car knowledge has very little to do with getting a fair price. I am even willing to state that this kind of mechanical infraction (saying V4 where I4 should be used) would not even be noticed by the sales person. As for being taken seriously. The minute $$$ is put on the table a good sales person will know who is a buyer and serious about purchasing a vehicle and who is there to lecture and act all knowledgeable thinking that knowing intricate details of the product will somehow impress the salesman and who in admiration or perhaps as a reward for being so intimately familiar with the product being sold, would be willing to knock off another couple hundred bucks. LOL!

I just bought a 09 accord V6, I test drove the I4 190Hp. It probably would have been a good vehicle but I am replacing my 2000 accord V6 which I bought new and have enjoyed the V6 from day one. The 09 accord is a larger car than my 2000 and I sure couldn't see dropping HP instead of gaining a little for the extra weight. It is about pesonal preference between a little more money per fillup versus the extra power and quietness of the V6. Replies to this message: dpmeersman (May 27, 2009 10:37 am)

Replying to: drhuntr (May 27, 2009 7:19 am) I'll assume you purchased a sedan and have the same V6 I have in my 08. I'd be interested in getting your impressions on the difference in sound compared to your 2000. Not that the current 6 is necessarily a bad sounding engine but I feel it has lost some of it's refinement and free revving qualities as it's increased in displacement. After you've given it a proper break in I'd just like to get your comparative impressions say between 4000-6000 rpm. Depending on the terrain and your driving style you may not be giving up to much in fuel economy.
#815 of 819 Update by saxon2nsx Aug 15, 2009 (6:12 pm)
After much research, countless excursions to a variety of dealers, I have found my new vehicle. A 2004 EXV6 1 owner Honda Accord with Leather seats that are soothing to look at and feel heavenly to boot. For all those contemplating whether a V6 is more fun the answer on my side of the fence is a resounding YES! It is worth it for those who enjoy driving and do not want to fork 10K more to experience it in something from BMW. While V4 (uuuppps I mean I4) is OK for commuting, V6 is just plain more fun.... in every category less quenching V6's thirst, but that is a minor gripe when gas hovers around $3 Replies to this message: tallman1 (Aug 15, 2009 8:15 pm) icyou812 (Aug 16, 2009 12:24 pm)

Replying to: saxon2nsx (Aug 15, 2009 6:12 pm) V6 is just plain more fun.... in every category   Unless you have a V6 automatic. Then the I4 manual is waaaay more fun.   Congrats on the new ride!! Replies to this message: icyou812 (Aug 16, 2009 12:24 pm)
#817 of 819 Stick is sick by saxon2nsx Aug 15, 2009 (9:16 pm)
Not if you live in NYC and are over 40 which is my case.   I am done rowing and the only vehicle that would bring me back to flexing my right hand muscle would be a Viper. Also,I am married,so there is no reason to keep the right hand in top condition.

Replying to: tallman1 (Aug 15, 2009 8:15 pm) I'll second that. The I4 manual is fun to drive, except in heavy Chicago traffic. Tried that back in June. I didn't test drive the V6 before we bought. I had my heart set on a Civic, but the wife had other ideas. V6 auto vs. I4 auto. would most likely be a different story in the fahrvergnugen department.
#819 of 819 Just more fun to drive by arun77 Aug 23, 2009 (4:27 pm)
Purchased a 2009 EX V6; my other car is a 6 cyl as well and with more creature comforts, but the 269 HP (or is it 272?) makes this one so much more fun to drive!
