Used 2006 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
New Accord over TSX and used cars
The Accord is stable and agile, but not overly sporty. The five speed shifts smoothly and linked with the four cylinder gets me to and above speed fast enough. I have so many favorite features (see below) that ownership has been wonderful. The controls and interior look great and work with high quality precision. This car has satisfied my hot buttons - quality, value, safety, economy, performance, and space.
Outstanding Mix of Sport & Luxury
Had an 06 Accord Hybrid on order but decided to cancel when it kept being delayed with no information from Honda. Really glad that I got the V6 6-speed instead! Mileage: 2622 miles driven at last fill-up (odometer, not navi miles); 93.502 gallons of regular=28.04 mpg average. Lowest 24.7 mpg on first tank. Highest 30.1 mpg. Mixed highway/city; no trips so far. Consistent 30+ mileage possible by avoiding full-throttle starts and limiting freeway speeds to 80 mph. I generally drive for mileage & let off the gas as soon as I see a light turn red. 6-speed is great. I like the shifter as well or better than my 04 S2000 (now sold). Combination of handling, ride & performance is perfect for me.

60,000 miles later
I just got 60,000 miles on my Accord without a single problem with an average of 28 mph- I drive mostly highway. This is definitely a worry-free car. I posted an all 10's review a few days after I bought it and now I can say it definitely has met my expectation. At least once per day during my commute, I wonder why would somebody buy anything else but Honda (I mean in the same category).
Solid Family Car
The 06 Accord is a solid reliable family sedan that should fit the needs of most anyone. It is not the lowest price option but I believe it is the best value.
Best Honda Yet
this is our third honda....bought an 02 civic ex for our son, and had an 03 CRV ex....they were great cars....traded in the CRV for an accord, mainly for a little better gas mileage, cheaper insurance, and a little more luxury....so far we've been VERY happy with our accord ex-l
