Does anyone have torque / rpm graph (dyno graph?) for Accord 4 cyl and CRV ?
 
I guess that would be a good parameter to compare and understand if CRV's weight affect it's performance
 
I have a 4cyl Accord and want to see how different it is from 2009 CRV

The standard 2.4 Accord engine is the CRV engine. The CRV is heavier and is also less aerodynamic.

I currently own a Honda Accord V6. I am thinking about prchasing a CRV. I have not test driven it yet. Do you think I will notice a difference in the power? I currently do a lot of driving, approximately 800 miles per week. HAs any one transitioned from an Accord to a CRV?

Chances are that you have rarely used Accord's full power potential. Most people never do. Accord V6 has been mostly for bragging rights, since most people are not buying it for speed. Otherwise, Accord V6 manual sedan would have still been alive.

Drive the CRV. You will notice the lack of torque,smoothness,and passing power relative to your V6 Accord.

I see that lot of people have the opinion that.....
 
Accord v6 has enough power which is not always used.
CRV is OK for normal day to day driving, but lacks enough power during acceleration 50mph+, over-taking, carrying heavy loads.
 
Does anyone disagree?

I drive an 05 CR-V, which is essentially the same as the current, except for the body work.
 
I have no problem passing or getting up to speed.
 
It clocks about 8 seconds 0-60.
 
I drive manual.
 
Anyone interested in power should be asking their dealer for a manual version of whatever car they are buying.

I drive an '07 CR-V, which replaced a V6 Toyota Camry, and am satisfied with its power and acceleration. But, if smooth power when passing or merging on a freeway is important to you, you will notice a difference between the two vehicles.
 
There's no getting around it, there are trade-offs with each choice. The higher, more comfortable seats and cargo hauling capability of the CR-V offset its (for me minor) deficiencies in acceleration and road handling. If I drove 800 miles per week I might feel different about it.

If enough people ask for it, and vote with their wallets by buying from the manufacturer that does offer manual, Honda will bring it back.
 
It is a completly different vehicle with the manual.
