2001 Honda Accord EX-V6 from North America - Comments

Hello everyone, I wish even though it's too late now that I had seen these comments before I bought my 2001 V6 coupe. I swear I just saw the car and basically fell in love and the price wasn't that bad and they told me it was OK with the tranny coz they had replaced it at 150,000 kms. I bought it with 188,000 kms.

Mine comes with the heated seats, which I think is the only difference between the American version. Because I know we share the transmission problems, It shifts so weird sometimes and honestly doesn't feel right. No way someone put that in there and drove it and said to themselves that was normal.

I've driven in other cars, and when they shift their rpm does not fluster it stays steady as it should. When it shifts from first to second, the rpm shoots up a nudge, then the same thing to third, but to fourth it's perfect. I'd like to buy an 03+ Accord after. Maybe even a Mustang GT 05+. Because my friend has one and we use the same amount of gas. In a Honda I'm getting just over 500 kms on 65 litres of gas, which costs 80 dollars. Not good.

Honda Accord 2001 V6 2 Dr. Coupe- Replaced complete brake system at 120K. at a cost of $1200., battery @ 130K, All engine mounts at 132K @ a cost of $1200.00 (engine mounts made by GM in Mexico, Honda forced to install at the factory as part of trade deal) Auto transmission replaced at 120K by Honda.

The above has shaken my faith in Honda! This is not a reliable auto! I have been loyal to Honda products but I'm not so sure any more.
