...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.
 
Amen, bro. Could not say it better. Dig VCM concept (for your stated reason);kinda looks like us 6M folks need not apply)

Thanks John, my true "buddy". My '05 Accord hybrid's VCM is 101% seamless. As a hi-tech guy, I am also picky about possible noises or vibrations in my cars. I expect similar VCM seamless (OR TRANSPARENCY) with the V6 '08. I am going to buy a '08 V6 EX-L like John soon to celebrate my Xmas just like I bought my Accord hybrid '05 before Xmas 04.
 
I trust you John, my super hi-tech buddy. I am suspecting there are some folks who work for Toyota or other competitors or who own 7th generation Honda who want to make their points in these rooms.

People who are vocal with problems are just as welcome to post here as those that aren't. It is more likely, however, for people unhappy with their purchase to carry on until they get the message out of "Hey, this isn't right." I don't talk about my car's reliability or quality much because, quite frankly, there's nothing to talk about. It's been rock solid reliable. If I had a problem with it, trust me, you'd hear about it.

'08 Civic & Accord look so nice & cute. Sales increase over 38%. Accord I4 & V6 look bigger and so beautiful. It's hard to resist buying one. The Coupe's bigger tires of 18" look awesome. Honda's getting beteter and better. Only one thing I need to buy & add in the V6 is the splash / mudd guard.

I was closely following this thread for quite some time as I have been driving a '08 Accord EX V-6 for about a month now. I wanted to understand what exactly was bugging the posters here and see first hand if I could replicate any of their observations. I have to differ from the ones who have had issues with VCM operation as mine does not have said problems. May be problems are isolated with certain cars and does not translate as an issue across the entire '08 V-6 product line. I have never driven a VCM equipped car before but VCM in my present car just works without any issues.

For those that are not bothered by the VCM operation that is great. However the VCM operation is neither "seamless", or "goes unnoticed by the driver". Perhaps the VCM issues are indeed with "some" vehicles ( i hope).
 
I have had many hondas in my lifetime and several accords. Dont get me wrong, the new V6 is a great car and is a step up from the last model with the exception of the VCM operation. I think the driver should have the choice. Personally weather I get 26 mpg or 29mpg I am indifferent. 3 miles per gallon wont phase me or most drivers that pay $30,000+ for a car. Accord V6 buyers aren't buying this car because it allows for more environmental participation. They are buying it because its a fast, slick Honda Accord, reliable, great resale and will run forever.
 
Its about choice and with this engine you dont have one other than not driving it which would be ludicrous. The slight vibration at highway speeds, road noise and VCM mode transfer is simply annoying to many new Accord owners and outweighs the benefit of the end result.
 
So we must agree to disagree which is the benefit of forums like these.
 
Its all good

Just curious, have you asked the dealer if you could drive another V6 '08, to see if you experience the same issue with that car? That would go a long way to seeing if it's an issue with your specific car, or something that's common to all VCM equipped Accords.

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
 
There are very few "accord haters" in this forum. I cant find one that is peddling another brand more than talking to comparisons in good spirited debate. Most are simply those trying to find like experiences, define a problem they are having and/or simply discuss issues and concerns towards resolution.....your statement is without merit.
