Default My new car

I went and did something I never thought would happen. I got a 06 Accord coupe V6. It has a factory lip kit, Navigation, voice comand, htd seats and mirrors, 17" gunmetal rims, sun roof, 6 disk cd changer. It only has 8,800 miles and I got it for 20,100 with a 7 year 100,000 powertrain and bumper to bumper. Sorry about the crappy pics, took them with my wifes phone.

I don't care for those, but sounds like you got a pretty good deal on it.

That is a FAST Car...0-60 in less than or around 6 Seconds..


although The style may be a bit bland..it deliver's in term's of quality, Honda engineering and performance...

Their steering is described as one of the Best in the Industry..something that hyundai needs to work on.

I HATE those cars...they have THE worst brakes EVER! Air-assisted brakes blow. Even if you're used to them, every time you hit the brakes you get freakin' whiplash. You got a great deal on it though. But unfortunately, they start running crappy around 60,000 miles or so.

Ok, fine, I'll admit it...the 6-speed manual V-6 Accord is slightly fun to drive. Very slightly.

they're that touchy??

i drove a land cruiser today and the brake's were engaging so tight just from a tap on the pedal, i swore i thought i hit another car.

that accord has one of the best lookin fake wod i seen since..

i think the accord has soft rotors instead of hard rotors.

my familys XG braked excellent when ..but it eventually started warpng badly..

i think i have hard rotors on mine..cause i never feel any wapring..
