2006 Honda Accord

Lindsay · Lindsay

well i just looked at the parts catalog on the eStore for the TSX console. it doens't look like it would match. the accord has two separate pieces, one for the cupholder/handbrake area and the other is the shifter. the one on the tsx looks like it's one giant piece that incorporates both shifter and cuph...

i have a 2006 Honda accord ex coupe and would like to up grade my car's rims. i have this one particular rim in mind, the dimensions for the rims are 19x8.5 or 20x8.5 and the tire dimensions are 225/35 for the 19s and the 20s. my car is completely stock and i do not want to do anything that would ruin it. my ques...

I guess one thing that they could have done was if somebody manually turned on the dome light, the car will automatically shut it off maybe 2 to 3 hours later...so that the battery does not drain for extended periods of time...I think some manufacturers have this feature...

I Own a 2006 Accord EX. I have my interior Dome light swtched permanently to the Door position (so it goes on automatically when the doors open. Last night, after I parked, I hit the light. I then forgot to hit the light again before I left the car. The next morning, the light was still on! Is this a defect in...

We dont get enough large waves for real surfing anywhere in the UK, all our beaches are good for, is to encourage city folk to visit on annual holidays and practice drowning because they dont understand things like 'offshore winds' or 'tides'....

Channing · Channing

Sorry to go off-topic, but I'm especially annoyed when these same drivers justify driving large vehicles by saying that they do it to feel safer on the road. In other words, never mind what happens to the other drivers and their passengers, as long as they're assured that they'll survive a crash -- reg...

Yah, sadly many people do needlessly own big trucks and suv's. A lot of people don't even need as much cargo space as the accord has (which is very small compared to a lot of wagons). I own a coupe, and have plenty of cargo space for my needs. If I am moving I'll rent a van or truck as there is no need to own one an...

Dayton · Dayton

It's not the body strength, it's the seat frame strength. Maybe you're not understanding what we mean by 'pass through'.Behind our armrest here on the Accords, there is a door for putting longer things through like skis. What people would 'ideally' like to have is that, with 60/40 AND armrest. The 1x...

Trevor · Trevor

I wouldn't object to having both of those, either, but I accept that ALL designs are compromises, in one way or another, whether we're talking about cars, planes, computers, electronics, etc. Nothing happens for free; one thing always displaces or alters something else somewhere. There is no such...

Bruce · Bruce

Right, just checked the rear seat arrangement on my Accord.. In the boot you can see two pull chords, one on each side, pulling on them releases a catch allowing the seat to move forward at the top, and fold down, the split is 60/40 with the centre arm rest attached to the 60% side. Lowering the rear seats g...

Hi Accordlover. I think Honda and many other car Co's make cars specific for certain markets. And the UK market is very very competitive. We can buy anything here!! And in the mid size saloons here (and in EU) petrol cars don't sell well.. Whereas from what I read, the choice is far more limited in the US....

Corina · Corina

Well your Accord was never made here, and size wise, it's more equivalent to our Civic. (Which has 60/40. But no rear armrest - at least on pre 06 models). It really has nothing to do with U.K. vs. U.S. comp. It has everything to do with what the average Accord Buyer is likely to need. Most new Accord buyers...

Beulah · Beulah

I think the thinking by Honda is that sedans are the "family car" so you'd want the tray & cup holders in the center back.... the coupe is for the rest of the world that would only occationally even need the back seat, so the split seat is more along the "other than a family" way o...

Spencer · Spencer

Actually I had the $500 option of 60/40 split folding seats on my erstwhile '99 540i, and altho I admit to using the utility of that feature a couple of times, there was also the issue of multitudinous squeaks that came from those stupid seats. You'd think a $56k MSRP car wouldn't have this problem, but i...

Ridley · Ridley

Go talk to Honda. We can't do anything . If the seats bother you this much, go buy a different car, it's common sense! Like I posted in my last post, this is how Honda has done it forever with the Accord, apparently it's working for them. Take it or leave it.

Lynsey · Lynsey

This is a clever rear seat idea. The folded bit seen hanging behind the top rear of the seat can be unhooked and clipped to the back of the seat to allow the seat/seats to fold forward in required.. Or as shown in the pic, it simply extends to make the boot cover longer. I have this seating arrangement in my Z...

Kaden · Kaden

....especially if you have stuff in your trunk. Having a ski passthrough and 60/40 folding seats would mean the frame for the seat back has to be really strong or the passthrough cover has to lock into the frame (not over). You don't see too many MFG's offering that on their cars.Honda started having th...

Mable · Mable

So the sedan owners are complaining that they don't have 60/40. Next thing you know, we'll be hearing from coupe owners complaining about not having the center armrest and pass-through. Then there are the CL/TL owners who'll be upset because they have neither. Sheesh ... Just can't please anyone. T...

Accord's shocking lack of a 60/40 fold down rear seatback and inability to play CD-RW discs are among the stupidest and most vile, heinous, disgusting omissions in a motor vehicle this century. Even the cheapest Hyundai Accent plays CD-RW and has a 60/40 split seatback. So does, as another example,...

Norma · Norma

Its a give or take situation. Coupe owners get 60/40 seats, but no armrest or ski pass through. Sedan Owners get full seat fold flat, and an armrest w/pass through. Sorry if this sounds 'negative', but if you needed to be able to use the rear seat and take large items with you, you should've inculded that...

Kitty · Kitty

The specs on Honda's site only says for 2007 that a fold-down rear seatback with lock is standard (60/40 not specified). On all but the VP, it says a fold-down rear seat center armrest/trunk pass through is available. My '03 Accord Cpe also has the 60/40, but no pass-through. Unlike my '01 Acura CL (sup...

Deanna · Deanna

Can anyone please explain to me why all the sedans I looked at had 60/40 split folding seats, yet the accord is one full piece that folds down!?!?! I hate it! I basically can't have multiple skis or a snowboard or whatever else with 3 people in the car! How am I supposed to travel with long stuff and 3+ peopl...

Royston · Royston

It's a wonderful alternative to a Civic 5-door! I love those little cars. If you truly enjoy driving and want a very nice handling but not silky smooth riding hatch, the Mazda3 was meant for you. I can't say enough about those cars - I wouldn't touch a Civic with a 10 foot pole after spending a lot of seat ti...

Sorry to hear about your ongoing issues with the new Civic and Accord. I'm also interested in the new Accord, but I'll wait a couple years also. In the meantime, I'm following the Mazda 3 5-door to see if it's an acceptable alternative to a Civic 5-door, which Honda so wisely decided we don't need. BTW, w...

I went two rounds today with two diff. Bridgestone tire dealers today. Every excuse in the book was used and the seperating belt was never addresed. I called my dealer back and told them.

I'm glad you made this thread. I think my Son Reid's Civic has a few issues. I noticed a redish looking fluid on the floor of the garage where his car has been sitting for about a week. (Grounded.) Then, I just now went to look at his trunk for what you speak of, and the side walls of it can be pushed right back,...
