Want to hear your thoughts on V6 reliability. I have the k24 and its been rock solid for 175,000 miles so far but I'm thinking about upgrading to an 07 J30. Will it handle the miles based on your experiences? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

I can't comment on the longevity because my baby just hit 45,000 miles. but up till now the engine his solid.
Don't forget thought that we've got HONDA'S they're built to last.

Arie speaks the truth. Aside from my CM, i have an 01 TL with the J32 and that baby has hit 146K miles and has been all over the country. Multiple moves and cross country driving. She's still holding strong and with the original tranny no less. If you do bump to an 07, my suggestion is to go with the 6 speed as opposed to the auto. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, I highly agree. 6 speed is key.

Supposed to be but I haven't heard of anyone having the miles I have on the TL and reporting back no issues.

You getting a new car, or just the motor? I hope the V6 is a MT. Those things are awesome.

New (used) 07 accord V6. In my case it will be an automatic. I can't conduct business while driving a stick. I know, I know ... my heart wants a stick, but my brain, wife, and life insurance policy want an automatic. My heart loses this round.

I take it she has your balls hanging from the rearview mirror? Or did she make earrings out of them?
