February 24th, 2007 04:06 AM #32I think that's because we've been given the USDM version of the Accord VII. The JDM Accord (sold as the Acura TSX) is a lightweight relative to it. Curb weight on the Acura TSX/JDM Accord is about the same as the previous generation model (the old Accord VI 2.3li weighed 1400kg ~ 1463kg, depending on trim level).
JDM Accord: 1488kg
US/PHDM Accord: 1558kg
JDM 2.4li engine: 205hp*7000rpm, 164lbs-ft*4500rpm
USDM 2.4li engine: 166hp*5800rpm, 160lbs-ft*4000rpm

The 5-speed A/T helps, it could also be that the thing is so smooth you won't really notice unless you're rushing. The same K20 engine feels slower in the CR-V than in the Accord if i remember right. I know someone who owns both a 2004 Accord 2.0 and a 2004 CR-V 2.0 and he says the CR-V drinks more fuel.
But I agree that the 2.4 is a more appropriate engine for the Accord than the K20... and especially the gonzo V6 -- a bit too much for city driving, but what the heck! V6 Accords would be bargain buys in the used-car market

That's probably because the 2.0 CR-V had only 4-speed A/T, and the fact that it's less aerodynamic than the Accord makes it consume even more gas. I drove my friend's '04 Accord 2.0 to the Fort then Quezon Ave, and the E in the fuel gauge seems to magnetize the needle. There was no traffic and neither did I have a leaded foot that time. It really drank fuel like there's no tomorrow. Other 2.0 owners also complained of gas guzzling, according to a Honda dealer I talked to before. Thus, the 2.4.
Why do you want it removed? Sa Sport version ba ito?
