Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20042004 Accord EX V6 or EX 4 Cyl????
Got a great quote on both. Do I spend the extra $1700 for the V6? I'm test driving both models this morning. From some of the reviews I've read, sounds like the 4 cyl has enough power to satisfy most people??? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. > Got a great quote on both.

I'm very satisfied with my 4-cyl automatic. My 4cyl manual is fast, and can hold its own. And the Navi milage computer has registered up to 36MPG on the highway for a tank of fuel. Its almost as cheap to drive as my '88 Accord. > i have a V-6 6speed and it's a world of difference than the 4 or the 6 > automatic > Got a great quote on both. Do I spend the extra $1700 for the V6?

I've got a 98 Accord LX 4 cyl that I bought new. Great car, but NO passing power. Go for the V6.  Signature**:::::>>:??:*?`????`*:??:<<:::::** .??~ ?L?AzZ?

Great car, but >NO passing power. Go for the V6. I've got a 96'/4 EX and it's fine. Lags a little with the air on, but never really had a problem. My 2K Odyssey/6 is quicker but revs so low, the air doesn't cool the interior unless you keep gunning it or get onto a super hwy. I like the sound of a 4 when you gun it. Sounds more race-car like. My LX-G '04 I4 auto is just fine for my agressive driving style but I'm sure I'd have more fun with the V6... and probably more speeding tickets too. :o > My LX-G '04 I4 auto is just fine for my agressive driving style but I'm sure > I'd have more fun with the V6... and probably more speeding tickets too.

I test drove the 4 first and was impressed with the ride and power. I than drove the 6 and didn't want to stop driving it. I got the car for $1200 below invoice thanks to a $1000 rebate. Had there not been a rebate on the car, I would have probably settled for the 4 and still been quite content. I have 98EXV6. I wouldn't have it any other way. The new ones have 240 HP. Smoother, faster. You don't need to drive like a lunatic...just to know it's there when you need it (passing, getting on highways etc) Matthew > > My LX-G '04 I4 auto is just fine for my agressive driving style but I'm > sure [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > below invoice thanks to a $1000 rebate.

Rhe V6 gives much more refinement ot the car, though and fuel economy is great for this kind of power. > I've got a 98 Accord LX 4 cyl that I bought new. Great car, but > NO passing power. Go for the V6. Save it. I love the car, but it's a slug. Period. > Come on; it has plenty of passing power.

Any comments would > be greatly appreciated. The I4 has enough power for around town. It is state of the art, with no EGR valve, has a metal timing chain, etc. But, if you are going to do serious highway miles, particularly passing traffic on congested two-way roads, go for the V6. It is much quicker at highway speeds, and an extra safety margin could save your life. JM A I4 manual can beat it off the line. >>Got a great quote on both. Do I spend the extra $1700 for the V6?
