Some great things about the V6 Auto is that it gets great gas mileage especially with the VCM system. The ride is really smooth and the pickup is amazing. The car also has many safety features. The audio features on the steering wheel are very helpful while listening to music and driving without getting distracted. What I really like the most about the car is that it has an incredible amount of leg room. Being 6'2", I've drove many cars and ended up with a sore ankle because the leg room was just awful for my height, this is the first car that I am able to relax while driving.

Pros: Nice HP on the V6, the VCM system is amazing, Voice Recognition and Bluetooth systems, heated side mirrors, remote controlled window (and sunroof) open/close, great stereo system
Cons: The navigation software is really outdated , Honda's newest version of the nav software (v4.62) is missing many streets and roads which can be very frustrating when traveling. My neighborhood is not even in the system. Other streets which are over 10 years old are not found in the database either.

bought this car because it's good on gas, has leather, gps, and bluetooth, and was available with a manual transmission. Great on gas, no problems so far, and fun to drive! I recomend this to anyone looking for a good all around car.

Pros: Fun to drive with a manual transmission
Cons: none

The Accord 3.5 V6 is definitely is the
best in it's class. With it's advance VCM -
variable cylinder management system
which control how many cylinder 3/4/6
to run with, can give owner gas milage
efficiency, which is important nowadays.
The power is just more than enough for
day to day driving or distant travelling.
Good power and high efficiency is the
right choice for many people....

Pros: Good Power with high fuel effiecincy
Cons: a bit expensive for its class

We chose this car mostly because of its consumer reports test.  It was ranked as one of the most solid and dependable cars ever made.  After the first test drive, i was sold.  With gas prices the way they are, the gas mileage i get (anywhere between 28 and 32) is a welcome bonus.  We bought in December, and ive loved it ever since.  

Pros: Looks sharp, fun to drive.  
Cons: The interior seems cheap.  The seats are nice and comfy but the look and feel of all the plastic just makes the inside feel like a much cheaper car.

We've only had it for 6 months and only use it for distance travel.  It gets 30 mpg on the open road with more comfort than we've had with the Civics we had for the last 20 years.

Pros: Easy entry, comfortable, loafs at 70 mph.
Cons: None yet

Test drove this car. It was a LX-Premium version of the Accord Sedan with a 5-Speed manual. The car was responsive especially with the control of a manual transmission where the full potential of the car can be unleashed over an automatic. Also drove an automatic coupe version and it was not as responsive as this car off the line. The clutch was also very easy to engage and the shifter switched between the gears with ease.

This car also has ample space in front and back although the front may not be as spacious as the coupe. I am over six feet tall and it is not easy to find a car where I can fit confortably in the back seat with enough room when the front seat is all the way back. This car offers enough space.

This car is tuned with the driver in mind. It makes having a family sedan an enjoyable experience with sporty characteristics. It has the tight handling and dynamics of a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Nissan Altima, or Mazda 6 conbined with the road manners of a luxury car.

Unless you want to fall asleep at the wheel due to how boring your car is to drive and how dour it is in appearance then buy a Camry otherwise the Accord is one of the top choices for a family sedan.

Another car worth considering is the new Chevrolet Malibu when considering the Accord. It is a substantial vehicle that can compete with the best in its class. Yes people, come out from under the rock you have been living under for years and finally realize that the Americans make great cars!

Pros: 5-Speed Manual
Interior volume
Quality fit and finish
Dashboard is relatively simple to get used to even though it has many buttons scattered about.
Cons: Dash may be too overwhelming for some with its array of buttons.

It is an awesome car to drive but the initial pick up is very frustrating. The handling and braking is awesome. Interior and exterior rocks. Cost is worth it and only missing navigation system. Mileage is average. Maintenance is also avergae.

Pros: Comfort
Cons: Initial Pick Up
