Reviewed a 2013 Honda EX-L V6 on Dec 8, 2012

I have had an EXL V6 Coupe manual for about a month now. The car looks beautiful and the interior is very comfortable. The back seats, for a coupe, are very roomy and the trunk is quite large. The performance is very strong. I owned a 2009 Civic Si, and this car blows that away as far as acceleration (I think the "0-60 in 5.6" I have seen mentioned for the V6 accord must be for the sedan automatic, because this seems even quicker than that). Shifting is seamless and handling is impressive overall. It does seem slightly front heavy at times going into turns at speed and the steering could be a tad tighter, but it's not far off the mark. I have had some frustration with the electronics though. Odd periods of not being able to change the radio station for almost an hour, the display saying "audio power is off" while the radio is on and other random frustrations. And of course, it's never happening long enough for a Honda technician at a dealership to see it, so they are clueless as far as what to do about it. That could drive me insane if not resolved.
