Replying to: elroy5 (May 25, 2009 2:13 pm) .....El5 - - - your Sebring thought says a bunch. I offer Road & Track (3/04) to qualify your words. The three-way Accord/Solara/Sebring comparo helped me end up with an AV6 6M.   keep up the good work.   best, ez....

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.

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!
