THAISI,

I went from an 06 SI to the 4cyl Accord coupe. I love the ride and the smoothness, not mention it's a lot more quiet than the SI! The power from the Accord 4 is fine for everyday driving and if you need a little more you can shift through the gears. The Accord is more of a cruising car than all out auto-crossing, high output sport compact like the SI. Just don't get into it thinking you're going to have the same response and handling (you won't). I would do things in my SI that I'm still afraid of in my Accord. I sometimes miss the quickness of my SI but it's a different kind of car.

Just my opinion of course.

hey guys thanks for the input....i wanna get away from the whole civic "me too" thing and get into an accord not for the racing part but for a daily driver. i also own a wrx for fun. but thanks again for the info.

I have the 190HP Sedan and its very sedate when driven so but wind it up and watch it scoot. You give up about a second in 0-60 time vs the V6 AT. 2 Seconds from the MT V6. According to Car and Drivers testing there is only about.4 seconds gained in 0-60 with the MT-4 over the AT-4.
Top speed is govern to 127 on all.
Plus I feel the 4cyl is more fun to drive since its 200 lbs less nose heavy than the 6. They have the same tires and wheels now.

I am hoping to get a 4 soon. I have to admit, I do like the bigger rims on the 6, but most of my driving will be in town and I do not need 300HP for that.

I heard the 6 does stop slower sue to the weight as well. Either way it looks like a great car.

v6 is fun to drive... but. i4 is just as same fun to drive.

I drive i4 coupe and will post introduction picture soon but there hasn't been a good weather (canada).

So far, I installed HID kit, Tint, White LED license Plate light. I am going to get custom Magnaflow axle back mufflers. .. or perhaps just the mufflers. The pipe line under our cars are already big.. not to mention its a high flow exhaust system.

thaisi · 02-24-2008, 01:38 PM

pretty much the 4cyl is worth getting...i'm going to have to take a test drive. thanks everyone

a2shuzy · 02-25-2008, 01:35 PM

IT is worth getting

V6, I've hearing some problems with VCM but I think its just a rumour.

But in Canada, I4 + Navi = V6 - Navi.
Same Price :S

I'll also chip in, I love the 190 HP 4, it feels quick and nimble and I have yet to feel underpowered in any situation. If you really want to have fun, get the manual transmission. woo hoo!
