Hello,

I'm considering an Accord 2.0 Turbo to replace my 2012 V6 Accord. When I heard Honda was getting rid of the V6, I started to look toward the Camry V6. However, I'd like to get forum member's opinions on the 2.0 Turbo Accord. Is it a good replacement for the V6? How does it do in the snow? I've yet to see a review discuss this aspect. I was a little concerned that it would do worse in the snow because of the lighter weight. Any opinions would be great. Thanks in advance!

 

welcome to the forum the v-6 = est 360# 2.0 = est 405#

 

I know Scotty Kilmer of internet, youtube, and TX mechanic fame has advised against turbos in general due to high maintenance costs, length of service, and the fact that it will make you drive like a maniac. I know a friend that bought a turbo charged Hyundai and had to nearly sue the company over problems (he's a lawyer, so he might could have pulled that off).

Turbo charged cars are fun to drive but myself, I wouldn't invest in one. Must you have a V6? Would a 4-cylinder manual shift not give you the acceleration you need?
