Default What kind of timing belt does the V6 have?

I'm about to buy a V6 Accord but am just a bit leary. My last car was a Passat and they had to take the front end off to replace it.
Is this the same with an Accord?
Thanks - p

The timing belt is rubber :P lol.

The timing belt is a fairly in depth job, but nowhere near as complicated as taking the front end off.

They usually involve removing a motor mount, taking a few components out, draining coolant and installing/tensioning the belt.

Thanks - 2007
Actually, do people prefer 4 vs 6?
I presume the 6 takes premium gas which doesnt worry me.

The 4 has a lot more aftermarket stuff for it at the moment, but the 6 has power on tap without mods... its really your call. Normally Id say go with the 4 because the 6 dooesnt come with a manual tranny, but the 2007 did.

If you go I4,that motor uses a timing chain.Better IMO
On the other hand,the V6 6speed has WIN written all over it.

Edit:V6 accords dont require premium..
