Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2007Search for new honda ends rather quickly.
Armed with all of the information I had gleaned from this group and armed with NADA values and CARFAX reports, I went in search of a suitable Honda Accord. I found my first choice sitting on the lot, negotiated a price, arranged financing, and drove it home. It is a 2006 Honda Accord with the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with all of the gadgets I wanted, plus alloy wheels. This was a faster and more pleasant experience than I anticipated.

Enjoy it! I've put 183,000 miles on my '01 and the only 2 non-scheduled items it's needed thus far are the EGR service ($350) and a wheel bearing ($225). Other than that, nothing but fluid changes, tires, brakes and a timing belt. > Armed with all of the information I had gleaned from this group and > armed with NADA values and CARFAX reports, I went in search of a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Elliot Richmond > Itinerant astronomy teacher Always in the last place you look! Auto or manual tranny? >>Always in the last place you look! Auto or manual tranny? Well, I know many on this Usenet group loves manual transmissions, but spousal unit does not. So we have the five speed automatic. I know the V6s had transmission problems for a couple of years, but I never heard of any problems with the I4s. It shifts smoothly, accelerates briskly, downshifts appropriately, and so forth. Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher >>>Always in the last place you look!

I resent you comment about my upbringing. Yours is obvious. >>> I have an I4 06 coupe auto -- after owning a Prelude. Find the car very >>> pleasant and the I4 gives excellent performance.

Some troll by the name of "a" has been disputing the calculated MPG of some of our Hondas, claiming that they were bullshit. I don't remember if it was on this newsgroup or on rec.autos.makers.honda. >>>> I have an I4 06 coupe auto -- after owning a Prelude.

HTM is correct, tww1491. I wasn't taking a slap at you, just rubbing "a's" nose it a bit. I believe you and it's likely that most everyone else (except "a") does as well. Go back and read my original post once more. The <g> stands for a big grin! Bbut - what *color* is it?

Some sort of silvery color, like a million others. Elliot Richmond Itinerant astronomy teacher >>Bbut - what *color* is it? > >Some sort of silvery color, like a million others. Tell me about it. I got the silver, but felt guilty about it. The number of monochrome cars on the road these days is astounding - white, silver, dark grey, black. >Elliot Richmond >Itinerant astronomy teacher >>>Bbut - what *color* is it? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > The number of monochrome cars on the road these days is astounding - > white, silver, dark grey, black. We have that 2.4 liter, 140 khz motor in one of our Accords in Australia as well and I must say it's a beautiful motor as is the 5 speed auto. Mine is blue pearl, a good color and not nearly as common as those others mentioned above. |
