Hello Everyone...

Been monitoring this board and it seems to be a great place to "hang out." I just recently purchased an 2003 Honda Accord EX Coupe. I know there are mixed emotions about this new model of the Accord but I seem to like it a lot. It has the luxury look and the reliability of an Honda.

I also have a 1995 Camaro Z28 but that seems to be going down the crapper. I'll save what I can with the Camaro for power but rely on the durability and the reliability of my new car. :-)

I was thinking of the V6 model but until I get rid of the Camaro, I'll think conservative.....at least for now ;-)

 

Hello, is your accord a manual or an auto?? hm.....personally, if your car is an automatic, i woulda gotten teh v6. With an auto, i would need the extra 80 hp and the V6 still gets very very good miles per gallon......but just my $.02 but nice to see ya! welcome aboard.

 

Hi and welcome, if possible please post pics of your new car

 

 

I went through a debate with my self on deciding on the I4 or the V6. I decided to go with the I4 only because there is a 3mpg difference for my commute. My commute consist of driving 60.2 miles which takes me an hour and 15 minutes though some heavy traffic. With that said, I risk losing 51.3 miles per tank from going to the V6. I guess if I really want power, I'll stick to the Camaro....but who knows how long that is going to last.

A manual would have been really really great!! But given the above situation, I settled for the automatic. I still like the autos though...esp since they bumped it up to 5 gears instead of the 4. But don't remind me about six gears on the manual!!!

Anyway, I don't have much plans for this thing but to keep it clean. The interior of this Accord is flawless...flowing lines, non-squeak (like my Camaro) materials, gauge placements, button/radio alignment, the improved seats and the ultimate feature for me....lumbar support!!!

I do, however, would want to lower it and get some rims...but the same size because I like the ride quality. The suspension on this thing is top notch for stock.

The pictures will come soon enough...I just need to find a nice background for it.

 

Congrats on your purchase, and welcome to Honda-Acura.net

I'll be looking foward to pictures of your car.

 

IMO i think you should've got the v6 manual, but its your decision, you say that you will just leave it alone, and only put same size rims, well, i think as with most people you will be bit by the fever, rims will just be a start

good luck on your quest, and yes i am quite envious :-D

take care man

 

Trust me, I wanted the V6 too...but I really had to limit myself. One of these days, I'll get there. As far as the "fever"....I had that fever with my Camaro. Maybe I'm just getting old...

 

its not out until February
