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.
I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.
Advan Fleva goods na yan.
Would choose Yokahama any day, Used on Figo. Great Grip on curves even on wet road, Comfort and bit noisy on cement road, Amazing in villages/off roads.
Have yokohama earth1 on my i20, been like ~50k kms and still have enough tread for about 10k kms
So personally can vouch for it, no noise, good comfort and enough grip in it for me to take turns at 70kmph with confidence during rains.
Nekem a Yokohama BluEarth 4S AW21 bevált. Lassan 2 éves, 20+ ezer kilométert mentem vele és teljesen hibátlanul teljesített télen-nyáron.
I would have chosen/ordered these ATX from WM to replace my Falkens, but a tree branch punctured my tires and I was forced to buy *in stock* Dextero DAT1 AT Tires. NOT 3PMS, but look VERY similar the my Wildpeak AT Trails! I got the rear set replaced, will replace the fronts soon. Happy with my purchase.
We always buy Yokohamas: been running on them for 30 years.
I went from Falken Wildpeak AT Trail to these DAT 1’s. Look very similar. My rears were $91. My fronts not on sale will be $102. The Wildpeaks in 2020 were $126, now $215. So cheap shit for me it is! But they look good and get me to work.
I hate them. Awful in rain and snow.
