With a taller 6th gear, proper tune with lean burn mode for cruising, better exhaust, aero improvements, lighter wheels, etc, I should be able to get 50+ MPG easily.
@@CtrlAltDft So far, the only update is that I installed a taller TSX 5th gear and 9th gen Si 6th gear to lower the RPM when cruising, which gained me a few MPG. Also swapped in an LSD while I was in the trans. Still waiting for the time and funds to get a custom exhaust, lighter wheels, experiment with tuning the ECU to run lean while cruising, try to improve the aerodynamics a bit, etc.
I bought one of these with 115k, now pushing 160k three years later. Still runs like a charm. Very minor things to change: tires, starter, battery, and just basic tune up. That's all I've done to it in the last 3 years.
I inherited my 2006 Accord from my wife who was a home health nurse. When I got it It had 260k, I replaced the 4 struts and drove it back and forth to work about 60 miles a day. I soon replaced the two fans and some other components like the starter and alternator. I always kept great tires on it and changed the oil on the electronic schedule meter.

The honda 2.0t doesnt have the same reliability. Bone stock maybe youll get 150k. Turbo will go before then. I have a type r at my shop that blew up at 14k. Another on the way at 37k. The new l15 engine is even worse. Hopefully honda fixes these issues. There older engines are so good
@@drewbenefield2001 The new 2.0L T isn’t nearly as reliable it has direct injection with a turbo and they tend to have to much pressure in the block and forces fuel down passed the oil rings. i’ve heard about a few of these cases on the 2.0L t i’d def keep an eye on it. the 1.5L or 1.4 (Not sure the exact size) is the more reliable of the new engines.
@@nevids2086 Granted I've never even seen a Skoda. But I just find it hard to belive that VW product can be reliable. If they were the Passat would sell more than the Camry and Accord.
Baron Von Jo Skoda isn’t bought by vw yet, I think. Also, vws are pretty much the most reliable and less expensive to maintain euro cars America gets, but you are right that Japanese cars will be in the shop less than a vw or euro car. Again, idk much about skoda other then they seem to be decently reliable for a euro car
Baron Von Jo Makes sense. Maybe they manufacture parts differently and in different places with skoda s, or they may just be on par with vws. Idk, I’m just assuming. Also, skoda could pay people to write good reviews on their products, so that might explain it.
I'm loving my V6 '07 Accord here in South Australia. Just had the 200,000km service, timing belt, broken engine mount and alternator replaced. So well made, quiet, smooth and everything works except for the dreaded sat nat (common problem).

That’s so awesome to see these high mileage Honda’s. I had an 95 integra in high school and it ran perfect when I sold it with 198k miles. Currently I have a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the manual transmission and 2.0 K20c2 naturally aspirated port injected motor, I feel it was the most reliable way to buy a 10th Gen Civic. No oil dilution, no CVT, etc. Knowing now that it is THE LAST naturally aspirated Civic available with a manual transmission makes me glad I bought it. The 11th gens will offer the 2.0 NA motor but will only pair it with the CVT .
bought my 08 accord 3 years ago when it had 65k miles on it, it’s coming up to 115k now and is running great, but damn those new accords with the 2.0t are tempting
Theres no way the new Accords with the 1.5/2.0 turbo engines are going to last as long as older Accords like this one with their naturally aspirated engines. Thats just my opinion, time will tell how they hold up. My ‘97 Accord 5 speed is almost at the 200k mark and still running like a champ
I brought my kid home in this car, a 2006 Honda Accord V6 EX with nav, from the hospital in 2007. Now, he’s driving it. The car is in perfect condition inside and out. 246K miles and no signs of slowing down.

I do not know how that guy kept his steering wheel in great shape. I put a cover over mine because it was fading and some of it was peeling:( other than accord to the moon.
Just bought a 98 accord a couple months ago with 171,500 miles on it. So far I’ve only replaced the coolant because I didn’t like the green in it, and the inner drivers side tail light assembly; because water was getting into it. And I put in a new double din touch screen stereo and some brighter LED headlights. She’s purring fine. Starts up damn near immediately. I plan to flush power steering fluid, upcoming oil change, and transmission fluid change; maybe need some new brake pads. Regular maintenance stuff, but she’ll run for several more years.
Im getting ready to buy an 06 accord with the V4 engine and top of line interior with 150k miles. I will be replacing a bunch of things on it but as far maintenance what things should I do first or problems to look out for
just make sure the trans has been maintained. even if it never had fluid changed but as long as it doesn't show any issues then you can still change the fluid. remember most honda transmission tend to show issues when you are being easy on them like go 0-60 without going over 2200 rpms it will be slow yes but better to be safe and figure everything out before you buy I have found that when im accelerating harder on a honda trans it tends not to show any issues. I drive these all the time at dealer auctions and have figured most of them out
I have a 2005 with 320k miles on it. I put a used engine in it a year ago, along with O2 sensors, drive axles and motor mounts. The original motor slipped the timing chain. We'll see how far it goes. It's good to see one go for half a million miles. Thanks.
I personally dislike leather Interiors. Cloth seats are far more comfortable breathe well and last much longer. Think twice before putting in a leather interior! Honda fabric seats are excellent quality.... I have an ancient a 1995 odyssey van and the cloth seats are still in excellent shape.

Anyone have shifting issues with the v6 automatics? Same gen but mine takes a second before I can hit the gas when i switch from reverse to drive or it does this jump/wiggle but other than that, it’s perfect lmao
I recently started getting this same issue. I was wondering if it needed a transmission mount. Wasnt feeling that issue before. Only started getting thay problem after i changed the engine mounts
Its starting to show wear. If it's not too bad, live with it but keep an eye on your trans fluid level and color. Be paitent with your auto and don't shift from reverse to drive or vice versa while moving.
There's a "Heater" on top of the transmission that failed on our 2003. Leaked coolant into transmission. Rebuilt transmission at 261k. Other V6 models that are newer in the family haven't had an issue.
I'm curious to see what the top end of the engine looks like. I'm in the market for an Accord, and this makes me feel really good about getting one and getting rid of my Cruze!
Amazing... Thanks for posting this... You bought a 2006 Honda Accord 510,370 miles on it! - And it still has the Original Engine and transmission.... Incredible - This car speaks a lot for HONDA quality. - Will you use this as a 'Daily driver'? - If you don't mind, i'm very curious to know what you paid for it? Thanks.
Jay C this is not a daily driver for me. I plan to drive it a few times a week for an inspection business I do. I average 150-200 miles a day those few days out of the week. So I should see the miles increase steadily. I paid $3700 for the car. Some say that’s to much for the miles but despite some of the minor flaws it has for that price it was the best example in my area. I went to check it out thinking either it’s going to be total junk or it’s going to be great. Well it really surprised me how good it was so I went ahead and picked it up.
@@MrNate-wm3mp Great... If you look after it and manage to drive it for another 490,000 miles... (Without 'Redlining' it constantly!)...It's possible. Especially with good maintainence and frequent Oil changes) - IF you keep it that long and manage even close to that, HONDA corp. will want to buy it.

@@MrNate-wm3mp Mine currently has 283K. Got it as my first car 4 years ago at 255K, and some people said $3K was too much for it. Been on 1000+ mile road trips several times, still goes like it's new. Gotta love these cars
Hesitantly bought one today with 256k on it but it just ran so good. Reading through the comment I’m feeling for more for confident in it. Buying a used car with that many miles is always scary so I’m hoping this one works out for a couple years! I paid 2k, has new tires and belts and is fully loaded black leather that looks brand new and heated seats, etc. Not the prettiest girl at the dance but really not bad either. The silver hides a lot and every single thing works. The gasket around the sunroof came loose but I think I can get it back in. Anyways, I hope it was a good buy. I can’t afford another money pit like my BMW. Makes pretty driveway decoration but has been a nightmare. Just put in a new tranny at $2900 6 months ago, whole new cooling system, new coil packs, and now the head gasket went on it. With purchase price I’m over 8k into it in less than 2 years. Every time you think it’s the last thing you’ll have to fix something else happens. My wife had one just like it years ago that never gave us problems so I thought it’d be ok. Car number 2 and 10 grand later I wish I would’ve just bought something new lol. Hopefully the Honda treat me better.

With a taller 6th gear, proper tune with lean burn mode for cruising, better exhaust, aero improvements, lighter wheels, etc, I should be able to get 50+ MPG easily.
@@averyalexander2303 any progress? sounds cool
@@CtrlAltDft So far, the only update is that I installed a taller TSX 5th gear and 9th gen Si 6th gear to lower the RPM when cruising, which gained me a few MPG. Also swapped in an LSD while I was in the trans. Still waiting for the time and funds to get a custom exhaust, lighter wheels, experiment with tuning the ECU to run lean while cruising, try to improve the aerodynamics a bit, etc.
I bought one of these with 115k, now pushing 160k three years later. Still runs like a charm. Very minor things to change: tires, starter, battery, and just basic tune up. That's all I've done to it in the last 3 years.
I inherited my 2006 Accord from my wife who was a home health nurse. When I got it It had 260k, I replaced the 4 struts and drove it back and forth to work about 60 miles a day.
I soon replaced the two fans and some other components like the starter and alternator.
I always kept great tires on it and changed the oil on the electronic schedule meter.
I was very mad but blessed when back in August of 21 a drunk driver hit us in the rear ending the game of "How Far can this car go" at 475k. What a shame.
Sorry to hear that
Got my 06 accord lx when it had 48,000 miles back in 2011, now in 2020 it is now 235,000 and still runs like a champ!

@@tonyblair6800 the only major problem, which actually was a blessing, is the 6 disc cd changer died so that forced me to research and buy a Bluetooth FM adapter for smart phones and IT CHANGED MY DRIVING LIFE.

Skoda is the most reliable euro market car...
@@nevids2086 Granted I've never even seen a Skoda. But I just find it hard to belive that VW product can be reliable. If they were the Passat would sell more than the Camry and Accord.
Baron Von Jo
Skoda isn’t bought by vw yet, I think. Also, vws are pretty much the most reliable and less expensive to maintain euro cars America gets, but you are right that Japanese cars will be in the shop less than a vw or euro car. Again, idk much about skoda other then they seem to be decently reliable for a euro car
@@nevids2086 I belive Skoda has been owned by VW for like 2 decades since about the fall of the USSR.
Baron Von Jo Makes sense. Maybe they manufacture parts differently and in different places with skoda s, or they may just be on par with vws. Idk, I’m just assuming. Also, skoda could pay people to write good reviews on their products, so that might explain it.

Hey l listen to your comment on the car l love how you put them together big up to bro much love.
That’s so awesome to see these high mileage Honda’s. I had an 95 integra in high school and it ran perfect when I sold it with 198k miles.
Currently I have a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the manual transmission and 2.0 K20c2 naturally aspirated port injected motor, I feel it was the most reliable way to buy a 10th Gen Civic. No oil dilution, no CVT, etc.
Knowing now that it is THE LAST naturally aspirated Civic available with a manual transmission makes me glad I bought it.
The 11th gens will offer the 2.0 NA motor but will only pair it with the CVT .
bought my 08 accord 3 years ago when it had 65k miles on it, it’s coming up to 115k now and is running great, but damn those new accords with the 2.0t are tempting
Theres no way the new Accords with the 1.5/2.0 turbo engines are going to last as long as older Accords like this one with their naturally aspirated engines. Thats just my opinion, time will tell how they hold up. My ‘97 Accord 5 speed is almost at the 200k mark and still running like a champ
@@slammedcc Yes, because the CVT will fail first.
I’m a Subaru guy myself but you can only praise and respect Honda’s. They make unbelievably durable engines. My wrx wouldn’t make it half as long lol
I brought my kid home in this car, a 2006 Honda Accord V6 EX with nav, from the hospital in 2007. Now, he’s driving it. The car is in perfect condition inside and out. 246K miles and no signs of slowing down.
Same here. I remember stuffing our first crib in the back seat of my 2003 EX. Both my boys got their licenses with this car and now the oldest is driving it to college. We just go him a car so I get my Honda back. I'm happy.

Just bought a 98 accord a couple months ago with 171,500 miles on it. So far I’ve only replaced the coolant because I didn’t like the green in it, and the inner drivers side tail light assembly; because water was getting into it. And I put in a new double din touch screen stereo and some brighter LED headlights. She’s purring fine. Starts up damn near immediately.
I plan to flush power steering fluid, upcoming oil change, and transmission fluid change; maybe need some new brake pads. Regular maintenance stuff, but she’ll run for several more years.
My 05 accord has 216k and still running strong, everything works, my 06 odyssey something with 238k, original engines and transmissions.
Im getting ready to buy an 06 accord with the V4 engine and top of line interior with 150k miles. I will be replacing a bunch of things on it but as far maintenance what things should I do first or problems to look out for
just make sure the trans has been maintained. even if it never had fluid changed but as long as it doesn't show any issues then you can still change the fluid.
remember most honda transmission tend to show issues when you are being easy on them like go 0-60 without going over 2200 rpms it will be slow yes but better to be safe and figure everything out before you buy
I have found that when im accelerating harder on a honda trans it tends not to show any issues.
I drive these all the time at dealer auctions and have figured most of them out

The weak point of these cars are the transmission. Likely going out on you, look at scrapyard or ebay for a cheap replacement.
I recently started getting this same issue. I was wondering if it needed a transmission mount. Wasnt feeling that issue before. Only started getting thay problem after i changed the engine mounts
Its starting to show wear. If it's not too bad, live with it but keep an eye on your trans fluid level and color. Be paitent with your auto and don't shift from reverse to drive or vice versa while moving.
I have that a bit. I’ve had it for a few year on my 05 v6, and I just wait for it to “catch”. Once it does, I’m good :)

Amazing car. I just hit 75k miles on my 2014
Amazing... Thanks for posting this... You bought a 2006 Honda Accord 510,370 miles on it! - And it still has the Original Engine and transmission.... Incredible - This car speaks a lot for HONDA quality. - Will you use this as a 'Daily driver'? - If you don't mind, i'm very curious to know what you paid for it? Thanks.
Jay C this is not a daily driver for me. I plan to drive it a few times a week for an inspection business I do. I average 150-200 miles a day those few days out of the week. So I should see the miles increase steadily. I paid $3700 for the car.
Some say that’s to much for the miles but despite some of the minor flaws it has for that price it was the best example in my area. I went to check it out thinking either it’s going to be total junk or it’s going to be great. Well it really surprised me how good it was so I went ahead and picked it up.
@@MrNate-wm3mp Great... If you look after it and manage to drive it for another 490,000 miles... (Without 'Redlining' it constantly!)...It's possible. Especially with good maintainence and frequent Oil changes) - IF you keep it that long and manage even close to that, HONDA corp. will want to buy it.
This 2.4 VTEC engine is supposed to be incredibly robust, reliable and very long lasting. Good luck with it.
@@MrNate-wm3mp Mine currently has 283K. Got it as my first car 4 years ago at 255K, and some people said $3K was too much for it. Been on 1000+ mile road trips several times, still goes like it's new. Gotta love these cars
Hesitantly bought one today with 256k on it but it just ran so good. Reading through the comment I’m feeling for more for confident in it. Buying a used car with that many miles is always scary so I’m hoping this one works out for a couple years! I paid 2k, has new tires and belts and is fully loaded black leather that looks brand new and heated seats, etc. Not the prettiest girl at the dance but really not bad either. The silver hides a lot and every single thing works. The gasket around the sunroof came loose but I think I can get it back in. Anyways, I hope it was a good buy. I can’t afford another money pit like my BMW. Makes pretty driveway decoration but has been a nightmare. Just put in a new tranny at $2900 6 months ago, whole new cooling system, new coil packs, and now the head gasket went on it. With purchase price I’m over 8k into it in less than 2 years. Every time you think it’s the last thing you’ll have to fix something else happens. My wife had one just like it years ago that never gave us problems so I thought it’d be ok. Car number 2 and 10 grand later I wish I would’ve just bought something new lol. Hopefully the Honda treat me better.

At this number of miles, reduce the oil change interval to 5000 miles, please. It will increase the life span significantly.
WOW !!! thought my dad's 2002 accord was the beast - 378k miles , gear 1 and 2 slip and transmission out .

Not really. Its just a solid car overall. My car has close too 300k miles. Still original water pump, original coolant, tranny fluid replaced only once. 2005 accord in particular best one to get. 2003-2004 has only 2 airbags, 2006-2007 is drive by wire. 2005 is 6 airbags plus drive by cable. Lx with steel wheels handles better than upper models with alloy. Anyways its just a very very well build car.
