That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
Pros: buttery smooth V6, comfy cabin, reliable engine, stand out
Cons: drinks fuel, rare parts, expensive timing belt, expensive service, VCM issues, suspension wear, low

The OEM unit will outperform all the junk that people buy that's non oem. That starter lasted 20 years. It's a great product. You will likely have moved on from the car for some other problem by the time it dies again. The other non oem stuff "works" but longevity and crank time would probably been different.
Pros: outperforms non-OEM, lasted 20 years, great product

Power Stop Z23 pads and Z17 Geomet rotors. It’s like a whole new car - I know that may sound weird but it really drives better, I’m hyper aware of my car and the ride is smoother. I did it at 69k miles, and I wish I had done it earlier.
Pros: drives better, smoother ride

Yup, it's the starter. Happened to my 2014 Accord 4 cylinder at 90k km. I also bought a bigger battery and it helps with all the electronics that's in these modern cars.
Pros: helps with electronics

Starter.
My wife's '13 accord was doing the same thing around 120k miles. Happened now and then, progressively got worse (happened more often). Swapped it out for another one (OEM Honda). Starts like new.
Pros: starts like new
Cons: progressively got worse

Mileage: 120000 km
Have those on the wife’s 2017 Accord Hybrid. They are great in the rain and snow as you said, but at least on her car they are super noisy. Unsure if we just haven’t rotated them enough maybe?
Pros: great in rain and snow
Cons: super noisy

I purchased a new 2024 Honda Accord EX in August 2024, yesterday 6-7-2025 temperatures reached 94⁰ in my location, when I got in car around 1:30 pm I noticed a split starting from window frame covering near windshield wipers, once I turn AC on the split increase more that 6 increase which currently is more that 8 inching center windshield.
There hasn't been any rocks or debr hitting windshield.
Cons: spontaneous cracking, cracks easily

My 2021 Accord's windshield looks like it has been sandblasted, has a lot of pits, and a couple of chips, and it's just been a year since I got it. I keep a lot of following distance. Every time I am on the interstate, I just hope I get back home without a new crack, and I always hope I don't hear a sound in the windshield when I am passing a semi. No other brand car that I have driven had a windshield this weak.
Cons: sandblasted appearance, weak glass
