Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have to agree with Gordon. With a 5 speed auto (better spaced out ratios) and with 50% more power, I would expect the Accord V6 to be much quicker than the 4 cylinder 4 gear ratio Camry in any test - whether Autocar or OD. I am surprised...honestly. GTO |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm not saying that I don't like the Honda Accord. Among the two, I'd OF COURSE take the Honda Accord V6. But the question lies in, why is the performance not MUCH MUCH better compared to the competition?! With around 80bhp more, almost the same weight, 44bhp/ton more power-to-weight ratio, I guess its a loser compared to what it could actually have done.

| ![]() Accord V6 without any second thoughts. And as said before, the Vectra should be kept out of the poll. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() 0-100 was never the strenght of the Accord V6. All that power will make a difference after that point. 150kmph comes in 19 secs, 160 in 22, 170 in 26. These are figures which even the S 350 can't match. The 142 bhp A/T Accord does 100 in 12.37 secs. Compared to that 9.4 is pretty good. It's gained 3 secs to 100, by the time they hit 150 that would have increased to a great figure. The Camry is 11 secs slower than the Accord V6 to 170kmph. That is what that V6 engine was built for. It's always harder to improve on your 0-100 time. The SL500 takes 7 secs to hit 100 and a Vtec takes 8.9. That should make the SL a worthless bucket of bolts, but it's not, bcos that car can hit 150 in 13 secs where as a Vtec would take around 24-25 secs, that's the amount of time the SL500 takes to hit 200. Lol So you see, performance isn't all about 0-100s, there are many other factors that define performance. Diff between a NSX and an Enzo to 100kmph is less than 1 sec. But the Enzo has to produce 650bhp compared to the NSX's 290. Shan2nu |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() hey shan2nu ... i agree .... hell if cars were all about 0-100s then why would anybody buy an m class when the palio is faster ... the e270 is fsater to 150 but then that is where the s350 will take over ... |

I've never said performance only depends on 0-100, I meant what happened to the performance in those areas. I myself have said that the top speed is awesome! Quote:

I always stick to OD's times. Any idea what time OD got for the A/T Camry? If they got 10 something then that would make the Camry a great car (till 100kmph hehe). Shan2nu | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ok, then try making sense of this. ACI says the Skoda RS with 150bhp does 100 in 9.02 secs and that the Corolla with 125 bhp does the same in 9.07 secs. Tell me, who in their right minds would believe that. I don't know who tests these cars but all i can say, is that their figures are very misleading. I'd pity anyone who would buy a Corolla thinking it could keep up with the RS. Somebody, somewhere, is gonna be very disappointed with ACI. Shan2nu |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() hey shan2nu i agree with u there .. i would never buy an corolla for performance ... heck i wanted to get an octy but it lacked space and theres where it looses out ... besides i hate to say this but u do have a point when it comes to the testing ... autocar tests arent in a proper place like ODsbut OD is just more biased towards other cars .... like their test of the fiat was def. not right ... |
