    TIA,
    The last time I test drove a V6 Accord was in 2005 when we were looking for a new midsize sedan. We eventually chose a V6 Sonata. But, the Accord was a strong contender. The only reason we didn't pick was because we felt the price was a bit too high and the dealer wouldn't budge.

    I do recall it was a pleasure to drive with good handling and feedback. Power delivery with the V6 was smooth and acceleration was decent (0-60mph in mid-6 sec). The interior was above average although it wasn't as roomy as our Sonata.

    Of course a V6 will guzzle more gas. The trade off is a much more refined engine (very quiet and almost no vibration felt in the cockpit) compared to the coarseness of a 4-cylinder, decent torque and hp, and quite frankly.... I feel the larger the engine, the more durable it is. You just have to balance the pros and cons of having a bigger displacement engine.

    I used to be satisfied with 4-cylinder cars. But, after getting used to the quietness of V6 and V8's, I really can't go back to a 4-cylinder unless gas prices go up to $10/gal. The refinement is simply worth it.

    The new Accord looks like the current Hyundai Sonata (which in itself is good, just kinda expensive here in the Phils tho).

    toObaDfoRu, if you guys can wait till 2008, there will be an all-new Accord with a more powerful V6 that features VCM(Variable Cylinder Management)...



    The new 3.5 liter V6 is rated at 280PS or 276hp (268hp for the US market).
    The VCM(Variable Cylinder Management) can shut down 3 of the 6 cylinders when not needed to improve fuel efficiency, this is similar to the feature of the 300C's Hemi V8.
