There's just something about two banks of cylinders set at an angle to each other that simply makes every auto enthusiast's heart beat faster. Whether it be a V-twin, V4 or V5 in a motorcycle or V6 and higher under a car's hood - there's this automatic liking towards the vehicle without even having seen it in the flesh. That's somewhat what happened when Honda decided yet again that they would plonk a 3.5 litre V6 into the latest-gen Accord. And when we heard that it was bound for India, you can imagine the excitement within the ZigWheels staff.

While the previously employed 2.4 litre i-VTEC inline four mill was good enough doing its job powering a the large executive saloon, it was necessary for the 3.5 litre V6 option to be introduced for those hungry for performance and that's exactly what Honda did. They had done the same with the previous generation Accord as well but then the option was a smaller 3 litre V6 with an auto 'box. Enough history, time to put the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 i-VTEC to the test!
