The car I?ve been waiting for

I?ve been looking for a comfy car with a 6 cylinder engine...and this one is it. It has a 3.0L V6, automatic transmission, dual-zone automatic climate controls and very comfy seats for all passengers.

Most reliable car I test drove

Like the interior design, most recently love the mileage per gallon of has, reviving the exterior is very well designed, as well as comfy seating , the dashboard is great to look at.

Great car!!

I think this vehicle is a good everyday car and would be good for either a family or work person, as well as just a car for typical everyday errands.

I Loved This Car

This is currently the most modern car I owned (as of 2018), and perhaps the best car I ever owned. I bought this car after desiring a better car than my 1990 Honda Accord. It was a white LX model, with a rear spoiler and tinted windows, which I liked, and I fell in love with it after test driving it. The K24 engine sounded fantastic and delivered the right amount of acceleration needed for a mid-size sedan; the suspension was responsive and the tires felt like they were never going to leave the road. The only issue it had was the backlight for the radio never seemed to work at all, and because I was used to playing music off my phone, I had to install an auxiliary cable into the cd changer port, so I play music off my phone, rather than burning CDs for the disc player. Other than that, this car was pretty solid for the 1 1/4 years I owned it; it met its demise, when a tree fell on its roof and I had to give it to the insurance company. The car remained in the car lot for a little over a year, until it was auctioned off; I swore I saw it on the road, last month, with a new black roof, since it had the same aftermarket wheels I had put on the car. If it was the same car I had, I hope it keeps running for at least 200,000 more miles.

My Honda Accord V6 story

I purchased this vehicle used with 116,000 miles on it. I changed the timing belt and water pump immediately since this service was over 20,000 miles past due. This car was, for a Honda, very "needy" when it came to maintenance over and above what should be normal. In 65,000 miles, it went through 2 power steering pumps, 3 sets of wheel bearings, 3 sets of tires, starter was laboring hard when I traded it. Left side drive shaft broke while driving. Lower ball joint left side broke and was creaking after replacement at trade in. Not sure why, but after owning 7 Hondas, this one was the worst. Road noise was also an issue which is also a characteristic of Honda. For the money they charge, one would expect more. Many would say, "Well, it was used!". All but one of my Hondas were used. This one appeared to be well taken care of but the problems were not due to lack of maint. The new owner was given this information and told to be ready to shell out $1300.00 for another water pump and timing belt very soon. V6 Accord buyer beware! For 2018, the V6 has been discontinued.

has been a great car

This has been a great car for the entire 12 years that I have owned it. Good gas mileage and acceptable performance for a family car. Great interior space.
