Default S2000 and Accord Coupe V6 6Speed

This weekend I traded my 2003 Odyssey for an Accord Coupe with V6, 6Speed manual transmission, DVD Nav and Xm Radio. Hope to get it broken in this week so I can really drive it. This will never be as fun as my S2000 is but it's better than going from my S2000 to the minivan. Now driving will be fun even when I don

Nice change.

I find the Accord's manual transmission is Honda's best besides the S2000 and SiR. Very smooth and the clutch/gas combination is great

I think the Acura's RSX/Integra rod tranny is much better. Is the Accord a 'cable' manual like the Prelude?

So far I'm having a little trouble adjusting to the clutch and trany. It seems like the clutch and shifter need to travel such a long way between gears. The clutch is very lite. In fact the clutch on my daughters Element is stiffer. I will drive it to San Francisco today and get a better feel for it by the end of my trip I hope.

You are just use to the S2000's tranmission Any other car would be considered as having long throws.

The clutch is very light but it takes a short time to get use to it. I would think the lightness would be best as it is a family sedan. Don't want to be working that left leg too hard

all the accord v6 6-spd we pdi at my job have stiff clutches. they are grabby clutches too, you can easily stall out if you're not careful.
