2006 Honda Accord VP from North America - Comments

If you turn you A/C switch off the car will get a lot better economy, especially in city driving. My 1997 Accord was getting 27 Mpg mixed with an automatic hooked to the 2.2 with the A/C switch on. My 1994 Accord with a manual will get 31-33 mixed (mostly city) and 41 on the highway when the AC is off.

This is for the reviewer 24th Nov 2006, 10:27: either is something wrong with your rpm gauge either you are lying. I have a better mileage with my 1999 Intrepid ES and if I'm reeving the engine at 3100 rpm the speed of the car is somewhere around 150 km/h. And don't forget that my car's engine is more powerful than yours thus more torque.

Hello, I think honda has proven themselves as pretty much the first or second best car made. If you have a problem with your honda, have it checked out, that does not mean that hondas are not what they are anymore. I drove honda before I sold hondas and now I do not sell hondas anymore, but get informed about that product then you'll see why they are good. At least I am telling you that I sold them before and I still do not care if you say I am a former honda salesman. Guys take it or leave the cars are good. You don't have to buy it because somebody else will.

That poster commenting on poor mileage either is calculating it wrongly, drives strangely, or has a faulty vehicle. I have never got less than 32 mpg imperial (all urban), and have often seen 45mpg on 100% highway runs averaging 10% over the posted speed limit. I have got 1010 kms on a full tank - over 620 miles. and this is not crawling either - calculated average speed was over 60mph, and crossing the Rockies too!

To the poster of 31st Jul 2007, 11:02, while I'll admit that Hondas are very good on gas, that sounds a little far fetched!

And 147 miles per hour on a Arizona canyon with a Sonata is impossible?

I will believe a Honda Accord getting that mileage because I owned one that did 41 miles per gallon.

Just when you thought something was impossible, you find yourself wrong.

The comment of 31 July referenced fuel economy to an IMPERIAL gallon, guys. That means five quarts to the gallon, not the four of our gallon.

I hope the guy who said his Pontiac was better than a Honda was joking. I have had two Pontiacs (one my father FORCED me to buy when I was 16 because it was US made, and the other given to me free of charge) and they have both sucked horribly. Awful cars! Awful!

And if that guy was serious, wait until it hits the 70k mile mark. It will fall apart on you, guaranteed.

I also purchased a 2006 Honda VP because it was such a great deal, did you know you can "vent" the interior of your car by pressing and holding the unlock button on your key, all 4 windows will go down, very cool feature especially during the summer. I travel a lot for work and I've rented just about everything, VW Jetta, Ford Fusion, Impala, pontiac's and I must say, they were ALL digustingly horrible. I would never buy any one of those cars, unless they were for $5,000 or less for a brand new one lol.

I have a 01 accord with 189k miles and only problem I had was transmission had started getting ruff at start off, but after getting it looked at all I needed was to drain the same transmission fluid that had probably been in there since 93 when 03 when I got the car used. mileage was OK replaced air filter with a k&n felt the horsepower gain and gas saving.i owNed a pontiac transam and sunbird and had problems with both from electrical to transmission. also what you have to look at is your driving habits people get you a Maseriti or a lamborghini and drive it rough and see what happens.

I bought a Honda Accord VP 2006 for $17230 + tax. It all came out to $18250.

The car is going great. I had to replace the air filter and transmission fluid at 30k miles. Except for the normal oil change at Walmart, there has been no other servicing.

I have about 30k miles on it now.

Great car for the price.

I've got a 98 Accord coupe with 64k and it's starting to ride hard. The roads here in Minneapolis suck anyways, but anyone know if there's any underlining problem with the 98 Accord's suspension?

Pontiac 6000 was better than my Accord. Had both as company cars. Loved the iron duke engine; was even in our IO boat too.
