2000 Honda Accord EX-V6 4 door review from North America
"Simply an A+ rating. Only downside: Handling is unstable on sharp turns"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No mechanical problems of any kind during the first 60,000 miles.
The original factory speakers (5 watts each) offer the poorest quality sound I have ever experienced. I replaced these speakers within a week of purchasing this vehicle. How can Honda install 5 watt speakers on a top of the line EX-V6 sedan? Simply unacceptable.
General comments?
Pick up speed and power on city streets is average, but when you drive this car onto the freeway, that is where it will blow you away with its passing power and torque. If you are not careful and don't watch your speedometer you will easily go over 100mph in a flash! On the freeway it feels as if you have a 280hp engine not a 200hp. I have personally out-raced new top of the line BMW's, Mercedes, Audi's, and other vehicles with price tags above $40,000. Now don't try that on city streets because the pickup speed is not that great, but on the highway this V-6 un-modified engine is truly a gem.
A warning to all 1998-2001 Honda Accord owners: If you perform sharp/quick turns with these cars regardless of what model you own, your car can easily start spinning from the rear and make a 360. This goes for both wet and dry pavement because the rear has a lot less weight than the front and the small 15 inch tires have a very poor grip on the road.
