08 Accord V6 - 8thAccord

What do you all think about the difference in the engine with the 5 speed auto and the 6 speed MT? The coup I got with the V6 and 6MT does not have the VCM and is VTEC vice IVTEC. Do you think that is a big deal or did they make the cars with the 6 speed MT like that for a more sporty drive?

I believe it is for the sporty drive and sporty engine response. It certainly isn't the best gas mileage, but the car is plenty quick.

they make the 6 speed for sport... same with the si - 6spd, rsx-s etc.

Exactly. If you want fuel economy then go with an automatic or sedan.

Me? I'm happy with the MPG I'm getting and the drive is a blast--I love it.

Well I purchased the car a little over a week ago. Don't think I have a choice. I just thought all the V6 engines had the VCM and I-VTEC. I bought the Coup with the 6 speed MT for a reason so that is cool with me also!
