It was only after I bought the CL that I learned the long, painful transmission history. I am curious about this car: are there any chronic issues? Any insights into the V6 manual transmission vehicle will be appreciated.
The Accord was redesigned from the ground up in 2003, and '06 is just a facelift and tail tuck. As far as reliability is concerned, it's the same flawless reputation as it ever was. If you are considering the manual, there's nothing to worry about. I think they've straightened out the automatic transmission issue as well.
