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!
