COMPLETE REPORT SECTION 2: Capsule Review Honda Accord EX (Manual) Completely made over for 2003, the Accord coupe shares no sheetmetal with the Accord sedan and presents a distinctly sportier appearance. It’s also sportier on the road, with firmer suspension tuning and a six-speed manual transmission available with V-6 models. The base engine is a 160-hp, 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve aluminum four, with i-VTEC variable valve timing. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is optional. The upgrade engine is a 3.0-liter SOHC 24-valve aluminum Honda Accord EX (Manual)V-6 making a whopping 240 hp. The front suspension is a control-arm setup, and the rear suspension is a multilink system bolted to a stiff subframe. Changes for 2004 are minimal, with XM satellite radio becoming standard on some EX models and side airbags becoming available as an EX option. And there are two new exterior colors. … 2006 Honda Accord EX V-6 First Place, Mid-Size Four-Door Sedans December 2005 The tweaked-up Accord for 2006 does what Accords always do—charm us with eager responses and superb control on the road. What we didn’t expect was the newly developed muscle, as in muscle car. First, the tweaks. The styling has been freshened with a new grille and bumper in front and a profoundly different look in back as the taillights, instead of spreading onto the decklid, now occupy the upper corners of the rear fenders, much as they do on Accord coupes. The center stoplight is carved most tidily into the top edge of the decklid. When the brakes are on, the Accord’s tail glows red with LEDs, the latest fashion in rear lighting. As face lifts go, this one is a resounding success. Daylight running lights are now standard equipment, as is a stability-control system on V-6 models. Honda claims a mild 4-hp increase in engine output, to 244 at 6250 rpm. We’ve never thought the Accord was underpowered; Honda apparently thought otherwise. The 2006 Accord ripped through the acceleration test to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, a tie with the Sonata, then strongly broke to the front to clear the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds at 95 mph. For the record, the old Accord needed 7.0 seconds to hit 60 and was 3 mph slower in the quarter. In other categories of athletics, the Accord was always in the top half of the class—second best in stopping distance, tied for second best with the Hyundai in roadholding—and was the top performer in the emergency-lane-change test.
