I am now two cars removed from my SVT product. The BMW was going to bankrupt me with repairs, so I dumped it today in favor of this:
Purchased: 2012 Honda Accord coupe EX-L V6 6-speed
- Thread starter TJSwoboda
- Start date
The V6's are nice and quick. I had an 04 V6which has about 50HP(240hp) less than the newer models and that thing could haul ass when needed.
nice car. it will be reliable, and with the 6 speed it should still be fun to drive...
It will probably go at least 150K with nothing more than oil changes and lubes.
And give you pretty decent mileage at the same time.

The 2013 coupes look really good.
Nice pickup. I still have a soft spot for Honda haha
Smart move staying away from the AT's. Has Honda fixed that issue yet?

I work at a honda dealer and hate 99% of the cars that roll through there, but the new accords fully loaded are pretty nice cars. Nice choice!
GREAT PURCHASE!!!!! Those 6MT's are are hard to find. I still have my 04 V6 Navi Coupe 6MT and it has been the best car I've ever owned...and better than anyone else's car who I've ever known...and that's a fact! I've put 165,000 miles on it in 7 years and the ONLY repair I ever had to make, aside from scheduled maintenance, was the wiper motor.
Car still has stock clutch too!
When it was newer it was very quick for a fully loaded vehicle....ran a 14.19. It's lost some steam in the last year...but its still rock solid reliable.
You will have similar satisfaction with that beauty. GOOD LUCK!

Same thing here. Sold my SVT and bought a BMW, but I was too worried about the thing breaking and costing me a fortune, so I ditch it and bought a brand new '12 WRX hatch.
No idea why the LSD isn't utilized more often. My 335i was twin turbo with 300hp/300lb-ft and it had an open rear diff. Even in warm dry weather, it would easily one-wheel peel leaving a light. Drove me nuts and was one major reason I sold it. Something as easy as a mustang style trac-loc would have been fine, don't need some fancy e-diff like the M3.

Fix automatics not being fun? Nobody's done that yet.
Smart man -- congrats!:banana:
We had an '08 V6 sedan. It was a nice car and drove nice but the interior quality wasn't as good as I expected after 2 years.
Was it a straight trade?
I'm not crazy about any Honda sedans, but the new Accord coupe is a good looking car. Nice color choice, too. With the 6-speed you made a great choice. Enjoy it!
