i work at my local honda dealership and got to drive a new v6 accord coupe and dam those cars are fast with 268hp and 248 torque makes the 03-07 accord motor look weak with only 244 hp and 211 torque the car was a blast to drive and handles like butter but the price is to high for me lol coming in at $31,950 for an ex-l (navi included) has anybody else got a chance to test drive one yet????

 

I have the 08, its the same thing as the 09's.

Its a blast to drive every day and night.

 

yeah same thing dam your lucky after i got back i didnt wanna give up the keys lol its a night and day difference for me cause i drive a 96 civic with a gsr motor lol

 

the throttle response was just amazing in the accord

 

Was the car you tested a six speed?

 

I wish I could afford one or I'd be at the dealership tomorrow.

 

yep it was a 6spd man i really love that car man i might have to take out for the weekend lol

Not to rain on your parade, but are you sure it was much faster than the 03-07 6 speed? As far as I have seen, the 08 AV6-6 puts out basically the same 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers. You have to remember, there is plenty more weight to go with that 24 more hp. The increase in torque might have your butt dyno all excited

 

its quick but i haven't got a chance to driv the older v6 accord except in the 4dr but it was an auto

Yeah that nets like a full second to 60 and 1/4 mile

 

lol haha yeah hopefully ill get to drive one i got to drive it again today dude i love that car lol

 

yeh, the new accords are much heavier than old ones, so i'm sure they are not that much faster than the 03-07's, the 8th gens look very bulky and fat, like g35's and g37's, but just because it looks fatter doesn't mean it's heavier, i.e. tsx weighs more than 7th gen accord

 

Just bought a 2009 Accord Coupe w/Nav yesterday. I've owned 3 other Honda's. This car is beautiful! The NAV/HFL.....wow, it's great! I'm retired now and it's time to treat myself! Glad I picked the Accord.

 

I want to see a track race between an 09 Si and a Accord V6 6spd. If they had two equally skilled drivers I bet it would be a very close race. IMO Honda has pumped out the best overall handling Accord EVER. I even gave one a body flex test and I could still open the door when I had it in the position that I had to fight older ones to even open.
Can't wait to see what the future brings for Accords. It's only going to get better.

 

Honda is my favorite automaker, and the Accord is my favorite car. I wish I could testdrive it.

 

yeah honda's are good cars i've had 4 so far and if you get a chance to drive a new accord go for it

 

the 2009 honda accords v6 are now pushing 271hp-254lbs torque not 268hp....compared to 03-07 244hp-211 torque is a difference but i wouldnt say the 03-07 is weak, same engine just more power.

 

whats the 0-60 on em? the new coupes look really nice

 

As tested in 08/ Manual transmission:

0-60 5.8 sec
1/4 in 13.9 sec

 

yeah just drove a diamond white one dam it looked so fresh with tan interior man i want one bad

 

Our 06 Accord V6 6Speed sedan isn't slow. I wouldn't call it fast either as it's no 11 second car but I would call it fast for a Honda. Especially a stock one. Well, I have a K&N drop in but performance wise other than that it's stock. That didn't make it feel any faster though.

 

For one thing i would not want the 6 speed with the navi. for me it too much to concentrate on while driving. the 6speed felt super nice and the response was xxxelent. Ending up going with the 08 v6 AUTO w/navi. Best car i have ever owned.

Why would the 6 speed be too much? The Navi system is voice activated... Unless you're driving like the 18 speed F&F crew it shouldn't be an issue??

 

How much did you end up paying total on tag and or with intrest?

We don't have the factory navigation system in the 06 we have as we opted for a Garmin Nuvi 350 that way we can easily update it and switch it between cars. It however is great and isn't too much with the 6speed. Not sure how it would be too much unless you are just learning to drive a manual and trying to play with the navigation at the same time as learning how to drive the manual.
