i used to own a honda accord v6L, they are awesome as, never had a problem, except for engine mounts, gearbox mounts, cracked sump, new exhaust, and a shit load of tyres.. (only because my car was lowered 4"-4.5")
having said that.. the suspension and ride was soooper smooth even at that height. til this date, i still have never sat in such a comfy lowered/decked out car before. even a totally dropped merc c-class merc doesnt compare with the ride quality of the v6L
Such a real mid 90s sentiment to your posts! Windows 98, 1996 Sony monitors, 98 Accords! You are living in the past man - let me guess - this photo below is your favourite mobile phone of all time.Quote:

Back to your post - the Euro is built in Japan, not in Thailand. I thought that was made clear earlier.
Also I fail to see any point in your claims about recalls (which are safety related - not necessarily related to reliability).

That's right my friend Bru5in, the V6-L is a top of the class vehicle... very comfortable but yet looks very elegant...a bunch of people here thinks newer is better... ok.. for those that have just bought the latest Euros...newsflash, in around 8 months your Accord is old shyte too... so you better scrap it and buy the 2007 Accord...hummmbbuugg!
A majority of past and present V6-L owners have agreed that this vehicle is top-class...therefore I guess the answer to my thread is clear YES YES YES!!!

And as you said before with your computer analogies, you got the facts wrong, so what have you proven? Absolutely nothing, in regards to newer doesn't mean it's better.Quote:

Just because the Euro costs more money doesn't mean it's the direct competitor to your old Accord V6-L that goes to the NEW Accord V6 Luxury, not the Euro.
Keep turning a blind eye because you're digging a bigger grave for yourself here.
He probably doesn't even own either of the vehicles.
I mean, it's more than obvioius he's just a teenager who's got nothing else to do than post rubbish on internet forums. You can tell by how he cannot construct a single proper sentence without the excessive use of a trail of full-stop.Everything about him reeks of a stupid teenager with serious acne problems.
Totally agree Coladuna
And hasn't he sucked us all in. Speaking for myself I can't believe I've given him the time of day. From now on it's:zip:
Stop comparing the V6-L to the Euro when there is a V6 Accord on the market. It shows that you have no idea what you're talking about.Quote:

C'mon guys, some of you are starting to get a bit silly as well.
The 6th gen accord came in 4cyl and 6cyl. Are you saying you can only compare the 4 banger to the euro? Even though the V6 has similar output to the euro?
The current V6 accord also comes in a 4cyl, can we compare that one to the euro? If we can then we can also compare the V6 as it's a purchase option.
As for the V6, the J series V6's are very nice engines. They are found in many hondas/acura's and come in a variety of guises. They sound absolutely awesome with a cai or short ram.
The 6th gen accord is similar in size to the euro as well. The 6th gen is slightly longer (not much), similar widths etc.
In fact I'm considering a 6th gen V6 accord (3.0 J30) or 2nd gen V6 Inspire (J32) as my next car purchase - they share the same platform. I didn't like the 6th gen 4 banger and the euro was the same size as my 5th gen accord. Though I really liked the euro.
And I'm not saying that skywalker is correct in all his assumptions (espeically windows 98!).

Now guys, don't have to call me names just because I am complimenting an older vehicle... 8 years is not a huge gap in cars you know...what's more, this is only my personal opinion - it seems like a lot of people have agreed that the 1998 Honda Accord V6-L does stand out for some obvious reasons... look, to make it fair... the 2006 Honda Accord Euro is a lovely vehicle... but not for everyone and the same can be said for the Honda V6-L... this is just my personal thoughts on the vehicle...I can have my personal opions, right? This is a free democratic society right?
A lot of you out there feel that new is better...this is going off the rail about, but any ever driven a 1997-1998 Honda Prelude? Damn, it's much more smoother, looks better and rides far better than the last 2000 model!
That's it... anyone that believes the 1998 Honda Accord V6-L is amongst ONE OF THE BEST vehicles that Honda has produced thus far - please raise your hand!!
