2007 Honda Accord

Anonymous

hey guy first time posting here looking for advice. My CEL came on two days ago (solid, not flashing) but car seemed to be driving normal. Came home and parked it for the night. The next morning I had a crank, no start. changed Ignition coils and Spark plugs, checked oil and everything looked good, pulle...

We bought a 2007 Accord in Sept. 06. We were very concerned about the wheels as we took a hit on our 99 Accord trade-in, because of corrosion on the wheels. We were told that it wasn't a problem,"now". We baby our vehicle and love Honda, but even though we followed services' recommendation of...

Hey Everyone, Just got an Accord 2007 EX-V6 AT. I need to know do I have to get all the replacement fluids specified in the manual? And if I do where do I get the stuff from? Thanks!!

Hi Chanke.. I am well aware of the facts you mention.. But..... I don't think the comment was intended to be funny. I think it was aimed at trying to con people into believing it was true, and to promote Honda's image.. The Mag prob make a lot of money from advertising via Honda.. And.... very few US car own...

The UK and US have very different car markets, and very different car magazines probably. You won't see many puegots or anything on our streets or in our magazines. Why would they write an article for a certain market on something that doesn't matter to that market? They wouldn't simply because many p...

This statement, copy/pasted from the website, is very very missleading! the last time I checked Honda were rated 20th in UK. For a start none of the cars they tested were diesels. Testing 5 cars from the US market and assuming that result is the same worldwide is a very inaccurate method of deciding wha...

well with the TSX 6MT you'd be reaching to shift to 7th at 70mph. the TSX's 6 gear has the same ratio as the accord's 5th gear. AND it has a lower final drive ratio so the engine would be spinning even faster than the accord at the same speed. its a close ratio sport-oriented 6 speed, not one with a super super...

I have to agree with the USA Today writer then that said 190 HP is really all you need. Before flaming that agreement, remember that my '02 V6 was rated at 200 HP using the old SAE measurement. It would probably be right around 190 HP using the new measurement. Things change fast in the automotive world no...

USA Today's critic said the 190 4 cylinder was almost perfect and really all you needed. It wasn't too long ago that a 4 cylinder engine with a 190 hp was phenomenal.

Just got the new Car and Driver - they said that the EX 4 cyl engine has 200 Horsepower, WOW! This 08 is going to be what the Acura Legend was when it was introduced in 1986! This URL says 190 HP, The hard copy I have says 200 HP, I wonder which is right (or if I'm going crazy and don't remember )? http://www.car...

eh, having both in the garage (6 speed tsx, v6 6speed accord sedan), the title for more road noise definitely goes to the accord. more rattles? accord (by far). both cars are happiest on premium fuel, both survive on regular, but fuel is such a whimpy argument when it comes to buying a car because the ove...

Sherie · Sherie

The current tsx doesn't reach it's max hp till 100rpm before redline. This does not give you a ton of room to play around w/ before you have to shift or where the engine is at peak output. I like shifting, and the tsx is a fun drive, but to me it feels like I'm pedaling the car at times. Even w/ the V6 accord, whi...

Ormerod · Ormerod

In my test drives of the TSX I was quite struck by how much road noise pervades the cabin. This is a common problem in Honda branded cars, but for the money I expected much better from an Acura in the year 2007. I otherwise thought the TSX's interior of superb quality, and I've always liked its configurati...

Gertie · Gertie

oh, and i've spent many times in the backseat of the tsx. i'm 5'7" and it can be a little cramped if the front seat is all the way back, but still comfy enough for a decent length trip, so i don't really think the backseat size is really much of a concern unless you plan on doing 10 hour road trips with a pe...

Letha · Letha

a v6 with a few more horses doesn't neccessarily equal more sporty.... it all depends on what you want individually in a car. i feel the tsx is more sporty than the v6 6 speed accord. stevel feels the opposite (though i believe he'd also say neither is really sporty). to me the tsx has a different sort of po...

Tabitha · Tabitha

Now that I live in NC, I don't have my parents, family, and friends that I drive around as frequently as I used to - so a coupe might be acceptable. I want practical but I don't need "kids and car seat" practical and the back seat of the Accord coupe is hospitable for short term habitation for the...

Haidee · Haidee

I really like the TSX. The looks, especially with the a-spec package, are GREAT! It's also a better platform from what I hear and is a lot more rigid than the accord. I think I would have been happy w/ a tsx, but for the same price I chose to give up some of the luxury and get the V6 accord. Some days I think I mig...

2008 GMC Sierra Duramax....I drool over that truck... 360 HP 650 Lb-ft torque......oh man.... Depends for me. I like the power, but the new 08 Accord doesn't give the 6MT...so I'd go w/ the TSX. TSX is a smaller car though...do your rear passengers a favor and buy the Accord if you have many rear passeng...

Art · Art

the tsx feels more refined and solid overall. maybe it's the j-vin, maybe not. for those that hate the accord's rattles, the tsx relieves that. unless you have a carseat installed in the back... it tends to creak a bit on the leather ever since i used the zaino on the seats! personally i like the slightly...

Did you finance your Accord? You sound like the kind of person who should lease. Just my $.02 though. I've only driven 4cyl 03+ Accords. AT and MT and an Auto TSX. I feel very cozy in the TSX. It also feels more solid as a whole IMO. I like the even more upright driving style than the Accord. You feel much high...

Thelma · Thelma

both cars? have both in the garage right now. I prefer the accord overall. the V6 has low end torque that the TSX doesn't. that is a huge deal for me driving. accord is bigger, obviously, and I feel cramped in the TSX, and I'm not that big of guy. accord wins for me there too. TSX has really nice HID's. huge wi...

07 Accord vs 08 Accord vs TSX? What are some of the features and technology the TSX has that you think are cool? What do you notice that's different and/or you like better or not as much in the TSX over the 07 or 08 Accord? The new car bug has bitten and I'm considering the TSX. It bit me awhile ago and I almost t...

I haven't even bought this car yet. One that I'm looking at, has a center console issue. When you open it from the side that is supposed to open the deep part of the center console, the top tray kinda pops out rather than staying attached to the lid. I could see that becoming a problem if I had anything store...

The 3.0 V6 is one of the best engines in the world. Every review I have read in print or online has nothing but phrases and the only harsh words have been something in the context like " you got to rev it to get max torque". Is that a problem or part of the fun? Its all fun to me, not many cars makers ca...

After owning my car for almost three months I concur with this statement wholeheartedly. There is no way in hell this car only has 244 HP. I'm wondering if anyone has dyno tested a 2006 or 2007 6-speed Accord? I would bet my substantial life savings on the fact this car is under rated. Crank horsepower on...

Jocelin · Jocelin

My erstwhile 2003 Maxima was a miserable car. All it had going for it was the Xenons and the 255HP + limited slip diff. BTW, it felt faster than my 244 hp 2006 AV6 automatic, so Honda's engines are only under-rated by so much. But then again it was lighter and was a P.O.S. otherwise. Did I mention it consume...

Lauryn · Lauryn

I Agree with the first statement.As for the second one, I think Honda is sandbagging Toyota. The 2008 Accord V6 was developed to be a class leader in terms of power output; it was rated at 273/250 hp/tq. Then at the last moment before the press embargo was lifted, Honda lowered the power rating to the EXA...

Motor Trend got a 2005 Accord sedan weighing 3377 lbs to run 93.1 mph in the 1/4 mile (link). That Accord has 240 hp under the old SAE rating system; it would have about 230 hp using the current SAE rating system. The 2008 Accord coupe V6 6-MT weighs 3446 lbs (link) and has 268 hp and almost 50 lb-ft more torq...

No, amigo, a real boat. I had plenty of land yachts in my time but this wasn't one of them.

It got 9MPG under all co...

Latisha · Latisha

I agree except for the fact that Honda seems to under rate their engines. The 3.0, which is rated pretty mildly, is happy running neck and neck with larger more powerful cars. The Camry doesn't have 300+ HP but it is a HOSS smoking many larger engines in like size cars. In short I don't think the rated hors...
