For this year model there are no much changes; but still the 2007 Honda Accord EX V6 6Speed is worth your time and money.
The 2007 model has reduced weight especially at the rear where the fullwidth taillight decorate the 0305 models. A center stop light mounted in the rear window gives way to separate LED taillights mounted at the rear edge of the trunk. Minor revisions are also in the grille and front bumper. One difference of the 6Speed from other V6 models is its 17inch alloy wheels.
The EX trim is given an upscale specification by Accord’s interior design leather upholstery and navigation system. Ambience is further improved by the 6Speeds good soundproofing. The carbon fiberlook trim around the window of all 6Speeds lifts on the doors and on the instrument panel and console give it a fitted sporty look.
Interior details include interior door panels scooped to further improve elbow room. Easy to see in all lights are the bright backlit instruments. For perfect driving position heated poweradjustable seats and a steering wheel manuallyadjustable for both tilt and reach are available. Additional light is provided by a tiltandslide glass sunroof. Storage pockets with bottle holders are on all doors. The navigation system controls audio and the climate system through the touch screen at the top of the center stack. The interface is simple and has voice control. Aside from a huge trunk the rear seat also has plenty of room.
Many useful interior storage spaces are found inside the car. A duallayer console box/armrest with a power point in the lower section and a cord passthrough to the top for phone charging and a very useful storage box at the bottom of the center stack are just few of the examples.
All Honda Accords have safety features like dualstage front airbags front side airbags with a passengerside occupant detection system side curtain airbags daytime running lights and antilock brakes which in V6 models are fourwheel discs. Vehicle Stability Assist is standard on all V6 models. The Accord receives a fivestar frontal impact rating from the U.S. Government and a Best Pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Excellent ride and handling is provided by 17inch alloy wheels and lowprofile 50series tires last year. V6 Accords got firmer Honda shock so smooth sailing ride is provided by the vehicle. Changes were not massive but they result in improved steering response from the shorter tire sidewalls and an added improvement in suspension control. Comfort is assured with a more European suspension tuning.
Honda’s VTEC variable valve timing system gives the Accord V6 good low and midrange power. But the engine still likes to rev from the 5000rpm torque peak where 211 lbft are produced. Peak horsepower 244 is at 6250 rpm. Shift action is quick and smooth thus adds enjoyment. Unlike many expensive sports sedans the Accord V6 uses regular unleaded gasoline not premium. EPA fuel economy is 21mpg in city and 30 along the highway.
