Wrong, sorry. Manufacturers do not take HP measurements at the wheels.SAE Net Horsepower became the standard measurement in 1972, and is still used today. SAE Net horsepower is the horsepower generated by the engine at the flywheel with all accessories attached. This change was made to reflect th...

Your car does not make 300hp and there is absolutely no way that your car makes 268hp at the hubs. I can see honda underrating the engine by a little bit, but not nearly by that much. The new SAE rating definately rates hp lower, but again, not by that much. If it made that much at the hubs, it would be signifi...

What gets me is being in 6th gear at 40mph...engine feels slightly sluggish at the low of a speed in 6th. And from 1st to 3rd all within 2mph...seems kinda silly...but I agree that it probably does improve MPG. I'll have to try it on my next tank (4th full tank).

Ugh! Terrible day...I clipped my bumper on the driver side while driving into my garage...there are some areas where the paint is off completely off (black) and there are some deep scratches (white)...I have a charcoal grey 2006 Honda Accord. How much do you think getting it repainted would cost? an...

Just to bring you back down to earth, youre all stock Seven generation Accord under idea conditions, Density Altitude say -1000 (That doesnt happen very often), power braking above the flash stall of the converter (2000Rpm+) and shifting manually at the redline may net you a 14.9 @ 93ish Mph. To go an...

Elmer · Elmer

I was actually trying to see what people thought the Accord rear end looked most like, not which one was the sexiest. Looking at the Ford Five Hundred shot that I put in the poll, I actually think it looks more like the Camry than the Accord. I guess I didn't explain the poll well enough.

Beverley · Beverley

Hey All, I just purchased a 2006 EX I4 5M Graphite Pearl Accord and so far, love it. I have been reading on different threads about the people comparing the rear end of the 2006 to other vehicles and I thought it would be interesting to see which is the most common. Personally, I really like the new rear com...

I'd buy it if it had stock bumpers (no body kit), and didn't have the fugliest accord tail lights in existence The projector headlights look good, but who knows how good the owner took care of it, or knew what they were doing in the mod dept. also, they'd need to come down at least $2,000.

I wouldn't exactly call it hate, but what's annoying is the soft (feedback-less?) gas pedal. Whenever I hit a dip in the road or freeway, it's almost certain that when the front wheel is coming up from the dip I'll inadvertently press down on the gas pedal a bit, almost like I'm revving the engine, becau...

Anemone · Anemone

I know for 2006 and 2007 model years they bumped up the J30A5 four horsepower. Supposedly through extensive improvements to the airflow of the intake and exhaust systems. Only four horsepower, what's up with that? Why even bother? The car isn't going to go any faster because of four horsepower so the...

Christine · Christine

Any thoughts on the 8th Gen Civic (06-08) vs. your 7th Accord? I'm looking into both (sedan/LX/4cyl/5spd) and it's a toss up. Civic obviously gets better MPG, but not a whole lot more. Insurance would be about the same. 0-60 times are close. I'd like some handling/acceleration performance, but not e...

Through a repo from a buddy of mine at a bank. Car has 35,000 miles on it and is nor trashed from what I can tell. The bank wants to get rid of it ASAP. My 2003 has 75,000 miles on it and runs fine. However, this seems cheap for 2006 Honda Accord. Thoughts??

Maybe this has been discussed before, if so sorry its a repost, I searched and didn't see anything. But, anyway, I was reading the new car issue of Car and Driver and they noted the average age of Accord buyers was 50. Doesn't this seem a little old?

The power steering on my 06 EX-V6 (8,000 miles) whines the first few minutes after starting the car. The whining, which started about 6 weeks ago, gets louder as I turn the wheel. When the car warms up, it stops whining. Since I first owned the car in October 05, the only time I ever heard the whining was on...
