Wow ! V6 with 4x4? Honda V6 price, but better equipped.

[reignofchaos]

Thats an amazing price for a car which essentially gives you everything that the Audi A4 Quattro does. Brilliant, unbelievable pricing for a Quattro equipped car.

[harry10]

Amazed at the diesel launch so soon as it was mentioned few days back diesel will be delayed.
So now Accord V6 and Superb V6 are almost same priced. Just superb has more features.

Yeah. Sounds very tempting indeed. But even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy it for the reasons being discussed in other threads. What a shame!

[Invinsible]

Superb V6 with plenty of power and torque, all the features and comforts, with a DSG gearbox and most importantly its a 4 wheel drive which would translate in perfect handling and ride.
Just perfect, that's what I want.

But, how does it compare to the Accord V6 which has 10 bhp more but no 4 wheel drive???

[extreme_torque]

The V6 is an awesome deal especially with that seven speed DSG gearbox it will eat the Accord in straightline and corners alike. Awesome pricing!
Skoda claims a 0-100 kph sprint in 6.6 seconds!!!!!!

Hey this one comes with a 6 speed DSG gearbox, it's only the 1.8 has a 7 speed DSG gearbox

I wonder what honda fans have to say about this.

[Max]

what about maintenance ? How much it cost to maintain superb?

[Gagan.js]

Still going to buy the accord. Maintaining the superb is going to be hell.
How many of those features are actually going to be used from office to work everyday by dad....

Add to it the thought of crooked dealers and negative company attitude. Plus heard a lot of cars failing very early into ownership.

Great pricing, great car, but for the sake of peace of mind, it's going to be the honda, sadly.

[Invinsible]

Am sure maintaining it would cost on the higher side.
But If one has to consider between Superb v6 and Accord V6 for sheer driving pleasure, performance, handling, ride. It's gonna be superb V6 taking the pie. Plus, it has the advantage of the superb 4 wheel drive. Now how many cars have a 4 wheel drive under 40 lakhs, except the Audi A4 3.2 V6 quattro. Can't think of anyother.

[flyingspur]

I have to say this again. Fantastic car gone waste, due to the company's misplaced pride. There's STILL time for them.
