i have a 03 accord ex 5spd... yeah its a 4cyl but it is not bad at all for a 4cyl.. overall it drives well, no major problems, and very comfortable... accords are not meant to be race cars anyways... but i took the car to the track and ran a 16.063 stock.. thats better than i ever expected out of a 4cyl accord... besides.. i'd rather have a 5spd 4cyl than a auto v6.. thats just personal preferance tho
