    My first car was an auto 2004 Acura TSX. I sold it when it had 360k but the thing still ran like a Swiss watch. Used it for deliveries and everything. 4 doors, 200hp, loads of space and trunk space. Why on earth isn't every single car like this?! I just wish it didn't take premium gas. A part of me regrets selling it but that genuine smile you have at 7:11 explains it all. Lucky man to be driving that car. Keep it up mate.

    I was very fortunate to own a NZ new ( mugen ) CM7 V6 - loved it , fantastic on the road , stainless steel factory exhaust with a beautiful raspy v6 noise , enough power to pass when needed , plenty of great times and wasn’t that bad on the gas. Sold it a couple of years ago and got a CU accord .

    Just brought a 2008 V6 accord for mother (can’t get her into anything 4cyl). Never driven one before this one and must admit in the drive delivery it to her (100km away) I was impressed and the amount of grunt the 3.5 has. Quite a good engine and much more than she would ever need (she is a lead foot tho) and def caught me being surprise

    • @KiwiCarLife
      @KiwiCarLife  Před 3 lety

      Yeah the 3.5L ones go good man. You've bought the best shape imo, while the newer 2013-2017 ones with the 6spd auto look nicer they aren't as smooth and won't let you hold it in 1st gear with the paddles. They're just not a "sports" sedan

    I love your channel mate, I'm from the UK and I'm onto my 2nd Honda Accord (my first I kept for a record 13 years), now I've got the same car as yourself (colour wise :) ) but mine's automatic and is fully loaded, 2006 with Adaptive Cruise, Lane Assist, AND........ auto fold power mirrors (I had that added because I kept forgetting to press the fold button each time I got out of my car.....) so now, they just fold automatically when I lock the car with the key :). I personally have noticed my car feels a LOT more eager and sporty when it's engine oil is 1/2 way between the dipstick marks (honestly!). When I've had the car with oil to the maximum mark, the car feels that little bit more sluggish (oil and filter changes every 5000 miles). Been binge watching your channel. BTW, your car's bodywork including the underneath is amazing! Look after her!

    Great video as always. I was going suggest you doing an intake manifold upgrade or gearbox swap for the euro R next but how about a simple brake upgrade. Throw in some good pads,some slotted dba t2 or t3 discs and a some braided brake lines with good fluid. Bet that would get some views. Or if you want to go all out spoon does a bolt on massive monoblock calliper for the cl9!

    Do you know what causes the transmission to fail on the v6?

    • @KiwiCarLife
      @KiwiCarLife  Před 3 lety

      Not too sure tbh, they're just not the best. Will still get to 200,000km most likely, but after that there's a good chance it'll fail

    Hey man, the automatic V6 accords werent that great. You should drive a V6 6speed manual Accord, its a COMPLETELY different experience. Why do i say this? Because i own a V6 6 speed manual accord. Best car i ever bought.

  • @SamslamminCars
    @SamslamminCars Před 3 lety

    The V6 with the 6-speed is much more quick revving than that 2.4 engine. Comes alive at 4,900 rpms and sub 6 seconds for the manual.

      @@KiwiCarLife chirps the tires even in 3rd gear.. I went that route since the Accord runs on 87 octane for the daily driver. The TSX still is much easier on the eyes, either way.
