| ![]() True CD, it robs the accord of atleast 1 second to 100 in the V6 easily. The logic of Honda has probably been that the drivers in our country wouldnt be able to handle this sort of power and therefore concentrate on driving as well as change gears. SO they want us to just concentrate on the driving. The logic is flawed and doesnt hold true for all drivers, but it seems Honda thinks it knows whats best for us. Revv |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Though i haven't driven the V6 yet, the 4 M/T it'self was an amazing xperience. This car has some serious straightline capabilities. Blip the throttle and it shoots like no other. I was impressed with it's handling at 160-165 kmph wher i had to move from one side of the ring rd to another overtaking 4 trucks en route. At 180, it felt as calm as the City Vtec would have felt at 100-120kmph. The brake feel was excellent. Can't imagine how the V6 might be like to drive, we know it's quicker than the S 350 to the 150kmph mark. All i can say is that it's got, S class power, with E class quality and a less than C class price tag. Buying a D segmenter has never been this good. Regards... Shan2nu |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() as someone said in another topic....the Accord V6 has 221 bhp but shouldn't it perform a little better? A quick comparison to the Toyota Camry - [CODE] Toyota Camry Honda Accord V6 Power 143.8bhp 221bhp Weight 1425-1500kg 1530kg Power to weight 100.91bhp/ton 144.4bhp/ton Gearbox 4 speed Auto 5 speed Auto 0-60 4.75 sec 4.72 sec 0-100 10.95 sec 9.46 sec Top Speed 186kmph 212kmph [/CODE] Comparing the two cars specially the power and weight, I guess the Honda Accord V6 should've at least have better acceleration. In top speeds, it no doubt beats the Camry by a large margin. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() hey turbolover ... thats the fault of gm and toyota ... GTO i agree toyota overprices their cars but when it was launched it was still cheaper and bigger then the octy and that was the reason for my choice... the only toyota cars to buy are the qualis and the corolla ... hey cheaing death do u have an 2.4 or the V6 .... shan2nu i find aci more reliable then OD specially for its times ... like i said earlier in some other post.. the V6 wih a manual tranny would rule .... easily the fastest indian car |

Makes no sense comparing the Indian Accord with the competition outside. Lets see if the cars u mentioned can live upto the Accord V6 Coupe. Standard Engine - 3.0L V6 Standard Transmission - 6 Speed Manual Horsepower - 240bhp@6250 Torque - 212 lbft/29.2 kgm@5000 0-60mph - 6.2 secs Shan2nu Last edited by Shan2nu : 3rd January 2005 at 13:07. | |

C'mon!!! ACI might have good write ups and pretty pictures, but when it comes to testing performance OD has the edge. Heck, ACI don't even test 1/4 mile and standing km runs. Shan2nu Last edited by Shan2nu : 3rd January 2005 at 13:16. | |
