those things are kick ***! I think there's gonna be alot bigger following with the accords now that they got the 6 spd in 'em. I drove the auto and it was fast, can't wait to drive the stick.
Enjoy it!

I do not have one ... BUT ... since I do work for a Honda dealer ... I was one of the lucky ones who did get to take one of these out for a "test drive".

Gotta tell ya ... BAD TO DA BONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fast ... fast ... fast!!! I was totally impressed with this car. It is definately a head snapper.

Congratulations on being one of the lucky owners of a really nice car.

So what's the story on 6spd coupes? Will they ever be widely available? How many is Honda making a year?

i work for a honda dealership also. we only received one this year, and we ended up doing a dealer trade on it for an odyssey (the margin is better on that anyways) because no one even looked at the 6sp. i drove it as well, its a lot of car for the money, and the shifting was a blast. didnt feel like a honda as much as the other hondas ive driven, mostly because of the several changes the accord took on this year, especially in the ex v6 6sp coupe. the heated leather seats and navigation system available are really making the car competitve with luxury lines. but yeah, a sohc v6 pushing 240hp and 212lb ft torque + 6 sp manual close-ratio transmission + electronic throttle control= unhonda-feeling drive....but a very nice and fun drive as well. great highway/city expressway cruiser especially for passing cars. the electronic throttle control(aka drive by wire) makes it harder to blip the throttle for downshift rev matching, but after you get used to giving it a little more blip than you would a regular mechanical system, its not bad at all.

Yeah, it does turn heads, especially at night when the Navi system is on! Bright as hell!

Man, that's cheap.

I got my 2003 Accord V6 EX w/o Navi and the six speed for 23,650 I believe w/extra protection package (fenderwell trim, door guards etc.)

Congrats to everyone that was able to get one. I ended up with the 5-speed auto LX and added optional wheels and leather. I heard that the flywheels on the 6-speed are pretty heavy...

Interesting how you say unhonda-feeling drive. Usually, anything that doesn't drive like a Honda = sucks, but this time, I think Honda only messed up 2 things in the Accord. 1) Soft steering 2) Soft brakes. Everything else is superb. TL buyers would really wonder why they are buying TL over the Accord.
