performance all-season tires
(Preview)
The tires are ok when they are relatively low mileage. My grip dropped substantially around 7k. Around 12k I would chirp consistently under very tame driving and felt borderline unsafe as I knew I couldn't rely on them to grip if I needed them to. It got worse from there and seemed to get worse a little bi...

Two Common Complaints About The Accord
(Preview)
Anyway, after owning my car for a few months now I'm far from an expert or anything, but I did want to address two common complaints. One is the stock stereo and the other are the stock tires. Frankly, I don't understand complaints about either. Maybe it's me, or maybe I'm not a true audiophile but I think...

3471 cc engine
(Preview)
In the mag it has the 3471 cc engine so that would be 3.5. They even mention 5hp increase over the Camry. I also think the Camry is a little quicker because of the 6spd auto. Until someone has an 08 and goes with someone with an 07 at the same track, conditions, etc. it's all speculation. I'm sure the 08 is a li...

Honda engineered it for comparable
(Preview)
And, the weather conditions, altitude, and weight of the drivers foot If they fully test the car, as they did numerous times with the 7th generation, the numbers can be different for many reasons beyond the cars' control, too. So, we can't automatically assume it is slower or faster based on the first...

RPMs at crusing speed differed
(Preview)
I think it is a combination of both things. I have not looked up the gearing of the trasmissions over the years. But, I belive my friend noticed that the RPMs at crusing speed differed, indicated a difference in gearing. The drive-by-wire certainly is part of the change, too.

RPMs for different engines
(Preview)
Powerbands = Each engine has a power profile where as RPM increases the HP and TORQUE incease up to a point, then falloff as the engine reaches its maximum RPM (Redline). Note, this may not be the redline indicated on the tachometer. The HP and TORQUE ratings that are quoted are the maximum output, thus...

How much slower is an 08' sedan?
(Preview)
This conversation got started in the photo gallery section, no one has responded yet, so I thought it an appropriate time to move it to the correct section where more people can chime in. I've heard a lot of "the new accord is going to be slower because it weighs more" comments. Just wanted to...

power and mpg
(Preview)
I never really liked Nissans/Infinitis, but Infiniti has done an impressive job of building the FX35 and G35 Sedan. I've never driven a 7th gen Accord 4 cyl before, but from what I've heard, it gives you the best bang for your buck, power and mpg.

dependable car that is practical and fun

Welcome to the boards. The Accord is a wise choice of a solid, dependable car that is practical and fun. No the "Hot Rod" that your G35 was, but definately easier on the wallet. Outside of tinting the windows and a few dealer installed options, my Accord is stock. You should find a welcoming h...

power is fine even for a large car

buster, The size of the car causes me to lose interest. The looks are pretty good for the most part - nothing that I couldn't get used to in the long run. The power is fine even for a large car. Heck, my '02 V6 was rated for 200 hp then with the old SAE std. The 4-cylinder now has 190 hp with the new SAE std which is...

great color combo

I saw my first coupe today, the dealer only has one and it's a fully loaded v6 with navi. It was white with the tan interior and is a great color combo. While I said I didn't like the tan interior before, I was wrong...The sedan with tan interior has plood (plastic wood) that I loathe, BUT the coupe doesn't h...

Agreed. The tan interior is a deal breaker IMO, I'd go back to the original blue or red exterior, you can get black interior with either of those. I'm not against the tan per say, I'm against the plood (plastic wood) trim that comes in it, looks really cheap and tacky IMO. Now if you could do something abou...

You drive a taffeta white (very manly sounding color!) car and you are accusing red of being a feminine color? LOL! That's like the pot calling the kettle black.

good color for the V6 Coupe
(Preview)
San Marino Red is on the 7th gen coupes. If there's still one on a dealer's lot, you can get an idea of the color. Acura uses Milano Red. Very similar but just a bit darker. I definitely have my color preferences but a car's shape and personality will influence what I think looks best on a vehicle. Red is a go...

Honda or Acura Vehicle

Sedan and Coupe use two different blues. The Sedan is Royal Blue Pearl, which is very dark. The Coupe uses Belize Blue Pearl, which to my knowledge is not on any other Honda or Acura Vehicle. Would have to see it in person to make final judgement. I don't like the dark blue on the sedan (I wish Cool Blue Meta...

really dark windows "pop"

Never thought about that...red is kind of feminine on most cars, come to think of it. White is a good option too, I like the way really dark windows "pop" against a white paint job. I really think the chrome trim around the windows is going to take away from that though. Too bad they aren't goin...

epitome of sports car colors

I almost certain I remember seeing a blue 4door on the lot when I bought mine. If I remember right, it was lighter than the one in the pic above, granted it was bright out and lighting is everything. But a color that didn't look so hot on a sedan just might look great on a coupe. I also agree that red is the epit...

I think the blue looks great online and in all the pics, definitely not a fan of red here...but I would reserve judgement until I see it in person. It all depends on your preference though, you're the one who has to live with it at the end of the day. I guess the blue or red would have black interior? The combi...

black interior combo
(Preview)
If I was in the market for a new Accord coupe I would buy silver first in a heartbeat. It does always look clean, and when it really is clean (like after a car wash) silver just shines! Plus it's a safe color, meaning it's not trendy and it will always be classy looking. However since since silver isn't one o...

I'm definately buying an 08 coupe, v-6, 6 spd. I narrowed it down to either the red or blue. Black also looks good, but I don't like keeping black clean. Help me decide!

The only reason why I didn't get an iPhone is because I don't get signal with AT&T. I can only get signal with Verizon.
