Toyota and Honda builds good, reliable transportation. I just wish they weren't so boring to drive.

The V6 Honda Accord develops about 290 hp and does 0 to 60 in a bit
over 6 seconds. Nothing boring about that.


Engine efficiencies have come a long way. The Canyon I bought has a V6
rated at 308 hp. It has an 8 speed transmission that I really like a
lot. I rarely accelerate hard but have tried it a couple of times for
kicks. Shifts are quick and positive and the little truck can scoot
right along.




My Edge V6
which probably weighs close to 5k got 29.6 mpg on a
recent road trip.



I drive easy on the throttle most of the time and almost all my driving
is "around town". Getting 20 - 22 mpg. Someday I'll take a long
highway trip and see what it gets.

On my last monthly "Onstar" driving report (which records hard
acceleration and braking occurrences) it said I driver better than
95 percent of the national population and better than 97 percent of MA
drivers (who have Onstar).



If I had a nanny in my Prelude the report would just say "I',m going
to tell your parents" ;-)
