Overview & Reviews

The 2006 Honda Accord receives freshened interior and exterior styling and mechanical- and feature-related updates. Sharp eyes will notice the Accord's revised fascias and new alloy wheel designs. Minor engine tweaks, including drive-by-wire throttle control, result in a slight bump in horsepower for both the four-cylinder and V6 engine (a more significant development than you might think given the more stringent SAE testing procedures in effect this year). Additionally, the V6 sedan can now be equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, and all V6 models have revised suspension settings, 17-inch alloy wheels and stability control. Last year's DX has been replaced by the VP (Value Package) trim with standard air conditioning and cruise control, and LX V6 and Hybrid models gain a moonroof. The LX Special Edition includes alloy wheels, rear disc brakes and a CD changer. The Accord Hybrid also picks up stability control and a temporary spare tire in place of last year's flat-fix kit. Additionally, the Hybrid model's fuel economy rating drops from 29 city/37 highway to 25/34. Finally, all models get a smart maintenance system and daytime running lamps.

• Roomy and stylish interior with simple controls, tight build quality, smooth ride, refined drivetrains, good crash test scores, strong reputation for reliability, high resale value.

• Tepid handling, brakes should be more powerful. Hybrid model offers no advantage in fuel economy over four-cylinder.

  Feels Like a Luxury Car, or Better - 2006 Honda Accord
  By LSH Jersey - March 9 - 2:30 pm

  This is my third Honda and only because I wanted a newer, more luxurious Honda; not because my ten year old one had anything wrong with it. Aside from ridiculous, opulent features such as memory seats or rear facing TV cameras this car has everything. Although it was a bit pricey it seems like an outright bargin when compared to Lexus, Mercedes, BMW or even Acura. I think those luxury car drivers should discover what theyre missing. Great acceleration, reasonable fuel economy considering the power, no rattles, controls precisely in place, comfortable heated seats, pleanty of room, great handling and visability. I only wish they offered a variety of interior colors.

  Best car yet - 2006 Honda Accord
  By DickCheney - February 28 - 9:40 pm

  This is the best car I have driven or purchased yet. Volvo cant even come close. The navigation is awesome and very accurate (with little goofs, very rare though). Interior is way better than most ~$30k cars. In short, this is the best investment for your money.

  Great, refined car - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Mr.Cars - February 18 - 7:08 pm

  The 2006 Honda Accord features a more refined interior than previous years. When ever I ride in a car that goes for about the same price range, I get back into my Accord and appreciate how nice it is. The seats are perfect for a long trip, and the car features a good amount of room in the rear and up front. I love how smooth the car transitions between acceleration ( which is quite good ) and braking. The car handles very well and the breaks are also impressive. The stereo system in the car is also great.

  Excellent - 2006 Honda Accord

  It is a great car for the money and is really the only car that makes Toyota improve the Camry year after year.

  Almost Great - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Allan T - February 6 - 3:06 am

  The special edition Honda Accord(5 speed, 4 cyl) is a great value. The 5 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and gracefully. It seems that Honda could improve on the mileage if it would increase the final drive ratio on the 5th gear (runs about 2800 rpm at 65 mph). The air conditioning unit is great, but it has a noticeable drag on the acceleration and the gas mileage (-2 mpg when active). Overall we get about 29 mpg with our driving mix. The best highway mileage has been 35 mpg and the worst city mileage about 25 mpg. The SE version comes with the carbon fiber interior and cloth standard (we upgraded to the dealer installed leather and it is great).

  4get the Hybrids! Dont give up size!! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By R - February 5 - 3:33 pm

  I bought a manual shift 4 cylinder to save gas mileage and to better maintain control of the car... to have fun driving! I have done as well as 39 mpg highway driving, a little better than my 94 Accord stick shift. I use cruise more than the average person. Youre going to get fewer mpg when you use gas with ethanol added. With the stick, you dont need 6 cylinders. Couldnt believe I actually looked at and drove others before I got another Accord. Even owned a used Camry for 2 yrs (automatic), but it doesnt have the same drivability as an Accord.

  Sorry I bought this car - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Milton - February 4 - 6:30 am

  Engine is great, handling not too bad. However, the clutch engages so high off the floor, it makes smooth shifting very difficult.This was not a problem with my S-2000. Clutch evidently cannot be adjusted. I wont have this car very long. I found out now ( way too late ) that this ia a known Honda problem for many years. Thats inexcusable. This is my last Honda.

  My 6 Honda - 4th Accord - 2006 Honda Accord
  By iflynrv - January 28 - 1:45 pm

  1st off, Id like to say that this is my 4 Accord. Have owned a 89, 92, 99 now the 06. This is least favourite. Ive owned the car for 6 months now (I drive about 35,000 miles per yr., mostly highway and I cannot get over the very poor gas mileage - the car is from the US but I live in Toronto. As all my cars I drive about 130 on the highway which is 75ish and this car has getting half what my 99 did with 280,000 kilos on it (original clutch/motor not touched) Ive got as bad as 275 miles to the tank and best was 375. I dont push it off the line but do drive at 75 and its by far the loudest Accord inside.

  Great Car - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Pedrooch - January 27 - 2:32 am

  Ive had my Accord EX V-6 3 years now, and Ive never had an ounce of trouble with it. This is my 3rd Honda and loved all of them. Ive driven cross country with it twice, and loved every mile. The car runs as good now as day I bought it. Except for routine maintenance, the only problems Ive had with it was a flat tire (I blame NYC streets) and burned out headlight. Tires are expensive for this car, the Michelin tires coast $270.00 a tire. If you are looking for a used car, you can never go wrong with a Honda.

  2006 Accord LX - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Rick - January 24 - 12:20 pm

  I own a 1990 Honda Accord with 180,000 miles and am completely satisfied that I got my moneys worth. So far, I have found nothing with my 2006 Honda Accord that I am not completely satisfied with, except maybe the color selections available.
