Replying to: rodiron620 (Nov 24, 2007 5:14 am) I have Honda looking at my car and have been to the dealer multiple times. The VCM in combo with ANC are not perfect thats for sure. I feel "surging and or hesitation" at speeds of around 45pmh and even greater in the 60-70mph highway driving, I find it is particularly annoying on longer drives. I dont feel "shaking" but I do feel a significant amount of "vibration" at higher speeds.. This may be what you are trying to explain. All the reading I have done, I can oly conclude the vibration and cabin low drone noise is a result of the 3 cyl mode operation. Best of luck to you.. Keeping working with Honda/Your dealer. Honda is all about Customer Satisfaction. I have 30,000 reasons to believe they will get this addressed. As my dealer told me this is a 1st gen car so issues are bound to be there, and like the Ody, Pilot, older Accord issues Honda will get it right...llets hope! Keep us informed of your ongoing experience!

Replying to: golfrski (Nov 24, 2007 4:55 am) Statements like these make me question if those guys know anything before they talk about it. ANC is not an audio system. It is part of an audio system. It works like a mic. Unless there is an echo mode available for extra effects, all it does is takes an incoming noise frequency and generates an exact out of phase frequency. It does what all noise cancellation headsets do. It doesn't create its own sound!

Replying to: viet (Nov 24, 2007 4:10 pm) ......I suggest those buyers may be able to return their Accord '08 to Honda Inc. and STRONGLY DEMAND 200% money back for their stresses, unhappiness, loss of time, back aching, mentally torture, misleading ad., etc. My nomination for this season's tongue-in-cheek feel good offering. ..ez..

I have an 08 Accord EX-L V6 with over 1000 miles on it. I am very happy with the performance of the V6, and the seamless operation of the VCM. I use the word "seamless" not because Honda used it in there advertising, but because that is my own observation. The only perceptible change when the VCM kicks in is the smoothness of the engine, but there is no jerky feeling at all. Obviously a V6 is slightly smoother than a 4, and a 4 is slightly smoother than a 3. But with these gas prices, do I want to run on 6 cylinders all the time and burn uneeded fuel? Hell no!! I'll take the VCM any day of the week. It allows you to have a nice blend of performance and economy. I would have to be concentrating hard (in a anal picky state of mind) with the radio off to even notice that the VCM is doing anything. And I'm very picky about any kind of noise or vibration in my vehicles. So if anyone is really having problems with their VCM, I would say that you have a malfunction in your system, and it is not an inherent problem with the design of the VCM. I believe the vast majority of owners with VCM have nothing but good things to say about VCM. But most of them are enjoying their car so much they have no reason to come into these forums in the first place. It seems to me that the 08 Accord haters (generally wishing to sell another brand or just sour grapes over owning a previous generation of Accord) are more vocal on these boards than the actual owners that love their cars. But the wise reviewer should be able to separate the truthful posts from the deceptive ones.
