Replying to: elliott2 (Jun 28, 2009 3:57 am) Check your facts (you can click your own link to see it )... You've selected an EX-L V6, not an EX V6 as I did. Like I said in my OP, more lux features = less "value." Replies to this message: elliott2 (Jun 30, 2009 1:26 am) idn2008 (Jun 30, 2009 10:26 am) pat (Jun 30, 2009 3:05 pm)

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Jun 28, 2009 11:18 am) You may want to ask yourself that question. The purpose of the site is to exchange views and experiences with the VCM. I happen to own an Accord with the VCM engine. The experience has not been as good as I hoped after owning several other Accords. As it should be clear to anyone who has see your posts - you are a paid representative of Honda and do not have any objective views of the Accord VCM. Here's the latest story on Honda's newest model: http://money.cnn.com/2009/06/29/autos/cr_honda_insight/index.htm?postversion=200- 9062923

Replying to: thegraduate (Jun 28, 2009 8:27 pm) Thanks for the response. That's pretty amazing that adding leather would cause the rating to go from "above average" to "average". It appears that the 4 cylinder models all receive a much better rating. Honda's factory rep told me last week that they sell far more 4 cylinder models than the 6 cylinder VCM. It appears that consumers are paying attention to the ratings before buying. Replies to this message: idn2008 (Jun 30, 2009 10:26 am) pat (Jun 30, 2009 3:05 pm)

Let's get some things clear now. This is indeed a discussion about the VCM aspect of the latest Accord generation. We can continue some of this other general Accord conversation in any appropriate discussion here in the Accord group. We have never required nor expected that posters in any given discussion only participate if they are fans of the particular subject, so that line of confrontation needs to be dropped. We also don't need to accuse those who are in favor of the subject of the conversation of being paid employees of the subject's manufacturer. So that line of confrontation needs to be dropped as well. Now, with all of that said, who has something to say about the actual subject of this conversation? We'd like to hear from you!

After just passing 1,000 miles in my 09 Accord with VCM, I have no complaints what so ever. It is barely noticeable with a similar feeling to that of a transmission shift. I feel Honda should use VCM technology on its entire line of 6 cylinder engines (as it currently does not- ie Ridgeline).

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Jun 30, 2009 6:15 pm) Let's hope not. The VCM engine is probably part of the reason that Honda Accord got dropped off of Consumer Reports' list of most reliable cars. Honda needs to put its head down and improve the quality of its cars. My 2008 Accord looks great; HOWEVER, it burns oil and gets the worst gas mileage of any car I've had in the last 30 years.

Replying to: elliott2 (Nov 08, 2009 4:37 am) According to my 2009 Consumer Reports buying guide- the 2009 Honda Accord is indeed recommended and rated above average in reliability. You sir- are in the minority of Accord owners and unfortunately for you wound up with one of Honda's very few lemons. Replies to this message: jon0721 (Nov 11, 2009 9:07 am)
