Used 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
Sleeper sedan
I traded a Focus SVT for my 6-speed sedan. I wanted something with more room and refinement. I am extremely pleased with the Accord. The 6-speed is very smooth shifting; the engine is powerful and smooth. I recently sold my G35 coupe, which sounded like a tractor engine at WOT compared to the Accord V06! I like the stealth(sleeper)appearance of the sedan. The body leans more than I like in curves. I plan on adding some TL sway bars in the future.
Mutil-talented car
This car new is a great compromise between comfort, performance and practicality. I added fog lights and a rear wing spoiler. I am tall, and find it very roomy, with plenty of leg room in the back seat. The interior is very nice and the overall build quality appears to be great. It is very quiet and smooth. The 6-speed manual transmission is fun to drive, and the smooth free-revving engine feels quite powerful. The engine is only at 2100 RPM @ 65 MPH in 6th. I do experience rough shifts in 3rd gear, like many other Honda/Acura 6MT owners. But it is not too bad. I put Dunlop Wintersport tires on, and this car handles very well in ice and snow

What a car!
Got my new Accord last month and it is a wonderful car! The design is top notch, and the 6 speed manual really makes this family sedan into a true driver's car. I would recommend this car to anyone who is in the market for a practical automobile that will give you some excitement when you want it to! The 244 hp V6 pulls strong in all situations and the manual transmission is smooth and easy to operate. The EX also has pretty much any option that you would look for in a car standard! Including leather, CD changer, alarm, power everything, heated seats. It doesn't get much better than this!
ok car but beware of gotcha's
First no chain timimg belt - rubber. Means if you don't swap this out for new at 60k it will literally implode the engine. That is the valves drop onto the cylinder heads. Cost to maintain $500 - 2010 costs.Next, there's a $1.10 chip buried deep in the engine that goes out and sends a message to fix engine. This little item regulates fuel flow so its important and expensive. A tear down of the engine to replace took 4 weeks because the part was in Tokyo. Expensive - $5k with no maintenace insurance. This item seems suspious was it done to drive up the cost to repair? I now have 114k miles on the car. I got to get at least 200k to make up the for the costs to own. The car does run good and its fast. BTW Honda for the last three years has no longer provided a 6C in its Accords. I wonder why.
Some Good, Some Bad
I like this car, but the manual transmission has become frustrating in cold weather. Difficult 3rd gear shift and it will occasionally throw the stick out of gear. This is not uncommon with this transmission in the sedan, coupe, S2000, Civic si, and Acura TL. I love everything else about the car and I still like the 6-speed even with this problem - I just wish Honda would solve the issue. Comfy seats, good accel and passing power, nice ride, decent handling, nice stereo, heated mirrors & seats. I put Dunlop Wintersport M3s on the car and the are wonderful - better than the stock Michelins. I'm not a huge fan of the look of the rear end of the car, but I like it better than the '08s.
