Default Picked up an 06 Last Night

It is a 06 EX v6. The color is kind of cool. It is black but it has blue metal flake which under light gives it a different look. It drives great! The stereo is pretty good but I'm not a big fan of XM radio so far. Guess it will take some getting used to. It has just over 240hp so it seems to have decent power but not as much as I'm used to. My wife works at the dealership so needless to say we got a pretty good discount off the sticker. Anyway, here it is.

Looks nice, the horsepower shouldnt be a problem though, K series are known for their insane power production (Some people have seen 20hp with a properly built header).

Although the Accords only have the 2 lobe I-VTEC as opposed to the 3 lobe 'performance' type on TSX and RSX-S, it shouldnt have a problem making large gobs of power if you wanted it to

great looking accord man. check out mine:





i love the how tight the suspension is, especially around tough corners. i didn't get the 6 speed either, but the V6 automatic is by any means slow. Car and Driver Magazine reports a 6.7s 0-60 mph speed for the new accords.

I'm 35 and my wife in the picture is 32. My profile is HERE . The benz is the old lady's. The new accord is mine. She drove it that first day because I had the day off and wouldn't be driving it. I continue to use my old 93 coupe as my daily driver. I never drive my Expedition anymore because it only gets 13mpg!

The sticker was $27,850 and we paid a little under $24k tax and tags included. They also gave a little more discount for paying cash and not having a trade in.

IMO 2006 Honda Accord EX V6s are a poors man Acura, I swear there way to similar except your not paying 50k for a honda. LOL good ****, I love accords you get the same **** as a Acura cept paying that big price. I would pick one, but since im a MPG man and smaller car man, I would go with a 06 Honda Civic EX navi. For the win.

They had a bunch of the new Civics there and they looked awesome! If I didn't need a little more room I'd be in one right now but the back seat was way too tight in the civic. The accord was just right so that is the way we decided to go.
