i have 50k miles on 2000 accord coupe V6, besides the one annoying rattle on my right side door, the car is flawless, haven't had a single complain yet.. also just replaced the tires to kumhos and the car is really smooth, especially on bumps.
that all being said, i am having doubts on my tranny, it has erratic shifting, i am going to wait till it falls apart then have it replaced under warranty.
Hey Accord 4U2,
Thanks for the input...glad to hear your experience has been positive; my car shifts erratically, too...but this has been a Honda standard since the beginning of time....go into edmunds.com and take a look at some of the Accord owners in there and how they indicate how Honda has incorporated this erratic shifting into every single tranny and engine---seems to be a trademark now. My 94 Accord EX did this -- my father's 1997 Special Edition jerks all over the place when shifting----to the point it makes passengers nauseas...Im not kidding. That 4-banger is so rough and jerky, it feels like the car is ready to die....yet, this is just Honda's "rev happy" system, or so it seems....
When Im in traffic, the tranny on my 99 does not like to stop and go; she lurches forward, expecting to accelerate, when in reality, I need to stop again because the idiot in the SUV and the SUV in front of him decided to stop on a railroad track....this engine does not like to be confused; her jerking and erratic shifting has always been a problem, even in the so-called "silky smooth" V6....
