Hi folks, I am new here but hope to post regularly.
I purchased a 3000 CC Accord V6 (Black) this January and am loving it. My driver sits behind me now as I drive it myself :-)

Thanks for the posts.
- The model (as per nomenclature used in India) is V6
- The year of manufacture is 2006 (so it says on the chassis and engine).
- The animal power (take your pick) is 221 @6300 rpm in terms of horses. I am afraid I do not have the conversion factor for camels and cows (add monkeys and elephants and donkeys if you please) :)
- It has a V6 V-Tec , 4 stroke SOHC , water cooled, PGM-FI Engine.
- It has a 5 speed eledtronic Auto transmission
- Its black with beige leather seats and runs on petrol which is close to 1.2 USD per liter in India !!
It cost approx. USD 44K. They are expensive in India due to the taxation and import duties.
And yes the driver sits at the back because I didnt pay all that money to let him have all the fun :)
BTW, its the first car I have bought with my own money. Before this I had one car (my first) as a wedding gift and all subsequent cars were company owned. So the pleasure is greater.

Did they derate the cars in India? Becuase the V6 cars here are 244hp out of the same 3.0L (2997cc) or is it due to lower octane fuel?

I had no idea that was the case but you are right as I just checked at the Honda site. Must find out from my dealer. Could be the fuel but I am not sure.

Thanks.
We have a slightly better option in vehicles in India now than we had 15 years ago. There is Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Suzuki, Ford, Hyundai, Daewoo (defunct), Fiat (nearly defunct), Mitsubishi, Skoda besides some Indian producers you may not have heard of. The choice of models is still limited but its improving.
BTW, Manila (Phillipines) is further east of us though I am sure Chase would have call centres in India too :)
