Accord w/ 6 speed? Hate to say it but yeah, Accord. Leather, 244hp, 6 speed, auto climate control.

Deamon · 06-14-2006, 11:42 AM

Depends, is the Accord an automatic? I prefer to row my own, not saying it's faster than automatic, it's just the way I roll. If the Accord were manual, I'd probably take the Accord, they are a very fine machine.

I like the Civic for being smaller, in coupe form, but yeah, 244 hp is nice, and the interior is top notch, I think.

with ever one both last forever... their hondas

CivicWithNav · 06-14-2006, 12:14 PM

well "accord v6" could be an LX v6... about $2000 cheaper than EX v6

also Accord is on their way out as far as new design goes. next generation accord should be out in a year or two at the latest

but accord is also smoother...faster...larger...comfortable... than the si.

i'd take the accord only if it's the EX V6

CMByrd · 06-14-2006, 12:26 PM

Accord without LSD... eh. My last car was without it and Im rather getting used to having it around.

Also Im poor enough buying gas for a 4 banger, let alone a v6 (;

Accord, without question.

2RotorMotor · 06-14-2006, 01:11 PM

I would take the accord... I love those cars.. If I woulda looked around, I think I woulda gotten that car.. But it had to be fully loaded with 6spd.

***Janizary*** · 06-14-2006, 02:39 PM

The Accord V6 6MT EX-L is a quite nice car to drive from both a power and comfort standpoint. It certainly has more straightline power than the Si and (for me at least) is much more comfortable (seating, roominess, appointments, etc.).

However, it will not handle anywhere near as well as the Si in cornering, twisties, etc.

If, for some strange reason, I could have had an EX-L Coupe, V6 6MT, for the price of the Si, it would have been very hard to go with the Si. If it was up to an LX, there would not have been a debate, the Si would win my vote.

Si for me. If I really wanted a V6 Accord, I would have bought one. I wanted a fun car and that's what I got.

I think that if anyone with an si(and other owners as well) wanted an accord, they would've bought one. I know that Im sure I could've gotten a way better deal with an accord than the si. I think alot of us just fell in love with the si and went right for it.. I, for example, should've looked around more for another car. But ulimately, Im happy with my car.

I see 74 accords everytime i look outside my house.

***Izzy*** · 06-14-2006, 06:54 PM

Si for me. I'm done with larger cars for the moment. The Si was comfortably smaller, and is probably much funner to drive from a spirited standpoint. If I wanted straight line speed, I'd have gotten an SRT-4. =P

gblaue · 06-14-2006, 07:08 PM

Just traded my 04 Accord V6 6spd for an 06 Si FBP w/Navi and Summer Tire package. Had 04 TL sway bars in the accord, still no where near as much fun as the Si to drive..

SpeedDemon · 06-14-2006, 08:04 PM

I dont know about you guys, but I think the Accords are pretty ugly, especially how long they are, and I like the older model accord that was round in the back before the 06 model.

Id take the Si anyday over that long V6. Why? Small..Much Nice, More Attractive..Id go on, but I needa shower, long day ive had.
