You are in the Honda Accord Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| Just thought I'd post an update on my 2008 EXL V6. Just had the second oil change done at 15k miles. Car has been totally flawless, no VCM issues at all. I drive this car hard on a daily basis, and the 3.5L v6 is a great engine. If it was not for the green "eco" light coming on, I'd never know the VCM is active. Just an opinion from one satisfied owner. If you're in the market for a v6, go try one out, they don't all have issues. | |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 19, 2009 6:35 pm) Its gas mileage will be similar to the fusion hybrid and will likely cost less than the Fusion"s bloated $ 28,000 price tag. Furthermore, if its stellar gas mileage we are seeking, id rather opt for a 2010 Prius with 50mpg for 5 grand less, but since I am not, it is a moot point.

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Jun 19, 2009 7:35 pm) Many buyers of Accord "were" seeking stellar gas mileage. Something that Honda "used" to be known for in their various models. Unfortunately, the new Accord gets lower mileage than the previous generation of Accords at a time when consumers have become acutely aware of the price of gas.

Replying to: elliott2 (Jun 28, 2009 3:57 am) Then again most cars these days seem to be a little "grown up". I would still choose an Accord. I would opt for the EX-L V6. 4cyl is plenty, but if I had to choose now, I would pick this model. |

Replying to: elliott2 (Jun 28, 2009 4:07 am) WHY ARE YOU HERE ? I suspect you would prefer us all to buy cars from this company - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnBVfA66ivA And, as you have demonstrated your love for Ford so much- that may be a better forum for you
