2006 Honda Accord LX Special Edition 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

The drive of this vehicle is so wonderful it is hard to describe. I must say that engine is seems like a low lull that sometimes I forget that it is. It doesn't use too much gas. I was able to get from Northern California (San Jose) to Southern California (L.A.) with a single tank of gas, furthermore, I a tank of gas last me a whole week of driving on L.A. streets and freeways.

Favorite Features

XM radio, 6 disc CD player, leather seating, heated driver seats, roomy interior for myself and the friends

Suggested Improvements

the only thing i would suggest if the windows came tinted

2006 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan w/Leather (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

We test drove the Toyota Camry no real comparison more safety features 8 airbags in the Honda 7 in the Camry Honda comes w/abs standard Camry charges as an extra w/Honda more horsepower & quicker pick up interior of the Honda design blows away the Camry. The Accord 2 separate A/C for passenger & driver the control panel is very eye pleasing with large display. The Accord much better value.

Favorite Features

My favorite part of the Accord is the layout of interior console has all kinds of hidden spaces & 2 power points for cell phones etc steering wheel has controls on it for the stereo & cruise control large display panel that shows everything time, stereo, temperature its awesome & the car is roomy.

Suggested Improvements

My only real complaint is the power points should be active when the car is off & their not, the other would be bluetooth built in would be nice the Camry does have that.

More than a little disappointed

Review

Many more rattles than I figured from the highly "Acclaimed" Honda. Velor interior starts showing wear at less than 10,000 Mi. Right now, I'm sorry I bought it. Don't think I'd buy another Honda. We'll see how well the dealership stands behind it.

Favorite Features

Fun to drive. Handles real well. Four cyl. has great gas mileage and excellent acceleration. Has a normal feeling transmission that shifts "right", unlike Toyota's "gear searching", golf cart feeling models.

Suggested Improvements

Change the interior fabric. My wife hates leather seats, so I've never owned leather always fabric. The all have worn like iron...domestic & imports. This is beyond disappointing.

What a waste of money!!!

2006 Honda Accord EX 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

Review

I hate this car. There is hardly any room in the car. I hate the big oversized knobs for the radio and the a/c. It eats gas like there is no tomorrow.

Favorite Features

The color of it and the interior lights.

Suggested Improvements

Get rid of those big knobs. Make more room on the inside like the Toyota Solara.

2006 Honda Accord LX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Oh do I love this car! I thought for about 2 seconds about getting the 4cyl but I'm so glad I didn't. This car is fun to drive, fast, and did I mention powerful? It's safe, reliable and comes with a great warranty. Definitely recommend this car over an Acura RSX, over a Civic or any other comparable car, LOVE IT!!!!

Favorite Features

POWER! Handling at high speeds is amazing as well

Suggested Improvements

If I had to complain about one thing, it'd be that the interior should be one solid color, not grey on top and black on bottom.

My Sporty New Accord EX-L Navi

2006 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan w/Leather, Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I did my home-work at Edmunds.com & Honda's website, which was pretty good. It helped me pick the car, color, & options, for a list price. Using a buying service, helped me get a great price! Actually driving a new one, showed me much improvement over my '97 Accord LX. The horsepower up 36, is at 166 & zippy! I ordered RED with spoiler, fog lights, & black bra, which get's the looks! The gray leather is excellent, making me feel like I'm in my Dad's Lexus. The CD Sound System, with XM radio, is superb & the cruise control right-on. What makes it really fun is the Navigation System. It controls the CD/Radio/XM & Air Conditioning with Voice Commands. I get 24 to 31 mpg, urban/hwy. Nice!

Favorite Features

Navigation is fantastic & costly. See below. It has some limitations, but is fantastic at directions. Although it's not perfect, it tends to learn your trends & common directions. It's great to have a female voice to repeat your commands. You sometimes have to repeat commands, but it's very rare.

Suggested Improvements

The ride has to improve. Too tight for 4 door, need to take the bumps better. The new Mich' tires are improvement but expensive to replace! Shop around for replacements, & watch center-line curbs! No RDS on the AM/FM radio, & no stock/sport scores on with XM radio. What gives Honda? $2.5K option.

Fun to Drive

2006 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I do a combination of city and highway driving. The car is fun to drive and is quiet. I am disappointed with the gas mileage, however, it has improved slightly over in the nine months I have had it. Another disappointment is (and this may be my fault) that the windows somehow open after I park and leave the vehicle. This has happened twice and once the interior got wet because it rained. The Navigation system needs tweaking. When entering addresses and changing the city it reverts back to California cities, and sometimes it doesn't take the information I try to enter.

Favorite Features

Handles well and all the dashboard buttons are easy to reach and operate.

Suggested Improvements

The only additional options I would have liked to have are xenon headlights and a heated steering wheel.

This Car Rocks My World!

2006 Honda Accord EX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This is my third new car in 5 years, and by far has been my favorite. The acceleration is awesome. I drive an average of 300 miles a day for my job, so a comfortable car yet fun car is a must! This car is so comfortable, peppy, and absolutely beautiful. The aerodynamic body design and styling is a work of art! The gas mileage is average for a V6, but I think the acceleration on this tops my 2003 Mustang GT, which had a 4.6L V8. Others complain about the road noise, but I don't find it to be too bad. Besides, I am too busy blaring the clear and totally awesome sound system! XM is a nice feature.

Favorite Features

Sleek, aerodynamic exterior styling, modern interior. White gauge lights make a nice contrast to the red radio & steering wheel controls. Dual climate control and heated seats much enjoyed now the weather is cooler.

Suggested Improvements

iPod jack, CD player with MP3 capability. Memory seats would be nice, as well as passenger power seat controls. An option for turbo or supercharger would probably boost sales.

Review

I have owned several Maximas , which were good cars. But with the gasoline situation, the Honda is the car for these times. Excellent build quality, reliability, and mileage. It is flexible too. I carry my kayak on the folded down back seat in the trunk. Even with city driving in 3rd gear, I still don't go lower than 30 mpg. My wife got an Accord EX coupe at the same time. We are permanent Honda owners as long as they stay as good or better than this. The mileage on the 4cyl is nearly the same as on the hybrid.

Favorite Features

fold down back seat and pass thru

Suggested Improvements

None. The ergonomics are great.
