Hey people I went and registered at superhonda.org to ask some questions about the v-6 accord. I was having trouble choosing between a max and a 1998 v-6 accord. So I asked them to tell me all the good reasons to buy the accord. I got like 6 reponses five of them actually said go with the maxima and they wish they had. The other guy said if ou want performance go with the max. I thought that was cool that even though they own accord's they say go with the max. Which I had decided a long time ago. Pretty cool!!

 

Cool that they were so tolerant.

Wish this board could be that way sometimes, but oh well.

 

they just know better...........

hehe. a little espionage going on

 

The responses surprised me. I'd thought they'd dump on the Maxima. Did they offer any reasons or pros/cons to you?

 

I actually had a V-6 Accord before I bought my maxima, so I think I am well versed enough to respond to your inquiry. Stock, the Maxima is noticably faster than the accord. There are a lot more parts made for the accord to both spruce up performance and physical appearance. However, i had many people say that the Maxima is definently the better choice. It is classier, and I thought more stable. I hope this answers your question, let me know if you want to know anything else.

The biggest problem I had with the Accord V-6 is that you CAN'T get it in a manual 5-speed. I drove a 5-speed 4cyl, but it just didn't feel anywhere near the Maxima. My choice came down to a 99 EX 4cyl 5-speed, half-loaded, against a fully-loaded Maxima SE 5-speed. For the same price of course ($22,500). No comparision.
