I just bought a brand new 2002 Accord EX. It had 11 miles on it and I got it for 7 Grand less than the sticker. I'm used to my vTech Civic 5-speed. This is an automatic but it has a lot of acceleration. I'm curious about the vTech motor in the 2002 Accords. What should I watch out for and what are the best mods for a California Smogged version?

V6 or I4?

 

4 cyl.

 

02's not brand new.

 

02's brand new when it's on the dealers lot with 11 miles on it.

 

v6 only comes in auto, so he's talking about the 4cylinder.
It might the previous model, but if it's 0 owner @ the dealer, it's new.
congratulations on getting a fun car. fun mods available for the 4cylinder accord.
nothing to really worry about in the beginning... oil change after 1000 miles or whatever. don't have much to say about the "break-in period"..it's a topic that is constantly tossed around with no solid answer either way.

 

after 2000 miles, put synthetic in it.

 

Congrats, but uh...you got a cordless phone in there or something, VTECH = phone, VTEC = Honda's, thanks.

Also, his Accord is a Auto so it could be V6.

 

ooops.. didn't learn to read thought he meant 5speed accord.. not his previous civic.. helps to read huh
anyway, it was a 4cylinder V-T-E-C

 

Coupe or Sedan?

 

If there are controls for the stereo on the steering wheel, then it's a V6.

 

actually... stereo control is on regular EX's too.. i have 'em and love 'em

and i think special edition has one??(not sure) btw it is 2002
i don't think year before 01 or 02 didn't have stereo control except for V6's
