Boring, Dull but Reliable

This car is definitely not in the BMW 3 series league. I had the V6 - 6 speed model with the sport suspension. Understeered fairly bad, rolled and wobbled badly on corers, and despite fairly good HP numbers, acceleration felt uninspired. This car had no personality, it just basically ran -- dull exhaust note, non-communicative steering. If you just want a commuter car, this is probably fine, but don't waste your money on the V6. You want a more performance oriented car, look elsewhere.
Not as good as previous gen

I recently bought this car after selling my 96 Accord coupe. The difference is night and day. The 96 was a coupe so that does make a difference I will admit but other than that they are totally equivalent. Both 5 speed manual, both 4 cylinder with vtec. Let me add that the 96 was clapped out so to speak, I bought it for $600 and it had numerous issues, none on the drivetrain. The suspension was shot, it would rattle constantly and the tires were bald. But it was so so so fun to drive, it was fairly gutless power wise but that made it all the more fun to wring the power out. The handling was great, great steering feel, great seating position. Great shifting action, throws a nice length and felt very connected. As for the subsequent generation that I have now, one word to sum it up is numb. The steering is more assisted than a 70s Cadillac, zero feel. The sound deadening is so effective you can't hear or feel the engine hardly at all. The shifter has such short throws and there's no feel to it, it's really just dead. And it feels as though I'm sitting on top of the car, not in it. Virtually zero road feel overall. One thing it has is more power, which does make it fun. Gets slightly better mileage and it's much more comfortable but if I wanted a plush car I would've gotten an Acura or Lexus.

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

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.

Just bought this black beauty with 30,000 miles on it and am amazed at its performance, economy, handling, and comfort levels. It's definitely at the top of its class and better than many costing thousands more. I put 18 inch 2009 Honda wheels on it (with 235/40/ZR18 Michelin tires), and it corners like it's on rails. The black leather interior says luxury in every aspect. No amenities were left to chance, per the usual Honda mindset. Just put 262 miles on it last night (75 mph freeway driving) and got 29.5 mpg - very good for this powerful V6. Glad it shares its stellar reputation with its 'bread-and- butter' sister (Sedan) while adding a bit of individualism 'sport' to its look/feel.

Special order of a LX-L Desert Mist. Came fully equipped with no extras except tinted windows. Never use the sun roof. Car has been very reliable and gets 25 mph in the city. Only complaints are two: (1) road noise on Texas non-skid surfaced roads is so loud as unable to converse except by shouting at highway speeds. Have been told by dealer that this is a common complaint that cannot be fixed by undercoating, etc. and (2) front passenger comfort is poor as feel every bump; hence, this has been turned into a town driving only vehicle. Otherwise, it has been one of the best vehicles we've owned and the 25 mph local mileage is a real plus.
