Fun & Practical
This car is great since I was looking for a 4-door,6 cyl., w/manual trans. The car is solid and has the necessary power when needed (it's so smooth that it's very easy to speed). The dash layout is simple and you also get a sunroof, seat warmers, and XM radio! There is just s slight bit of road noise at higher speeds. You'll be very surprise with the amount of leg room for the back seat passengers and also the amount of space in the trunk. The only item that I need to get use to is the very short distance to shift gears (I'm use to a much longer shift). It took about 10 weeks for my car to arrive Speacial order to get the Sapphire Blue - 6 speed).
Just bought it
The car seems built for an average height person. Being 6' 6", I find it difficult to "fit" in a car. The center console seems low, the headrest too far down and the left door armrest is way too low. Considering I drove an Audi TT Quattro Roadster convertible for four years prior to buying this Accord, one would think I have tons of space and roominess now, but that is not the case. There was more leg room, seat room and arm room in the TT than the Accord. The Accord doesnt seem to handle well either, but that will take some getting used to, as it's not a sports car. A great feature with the Accord is it's reliability.

Wrong size tires
This vehicle is equipped with the wrong size tires if you're looking for a car with a great ride. You feel every bump and even the smallest crack in the road. The tires on this Accord V-6, are the P215/50 R17 93V All-Season. After consulting with the tire manuf., they indicated to me in writing that these tires "will lack ride comfort, but give you more performance handling, this tire selected by Honda." I'm 62 yrs old and assumed the 2006 Honda would give a better ride and tire performance. The local Honda dealer refuses to swap the tires, and now I'm stuck with an $28,000 vehicle that lacks a comfortable ride.
Manual Clutch Needs Overhaul
I bought this car brand new off of the lot back in Aug 2006. I really like this car, is comfortable and fun to drive. The stereo system gets some lame reviews but I find it to be pretty good compared to other cars. That being said watch out for the clutch and shifter. The shifter knob looks destroyed after only 3 yrs and the clutch is weak at best (See below) This is my third manual transmission car and have never experienced this kind of problem.
A very nice car for the price
I had a test drive on 2004 BMW 325i, 2.5 L, - and, unexpectedly, was disappointed. The 6 speed V6 Accord is the best idea so far. This car is clearly not boring. Driving is GREAT!!! The only problem remains is the ROAD NOISE.
