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.
bin mit kumho allwetterreifen bis nach italien und zurückgefahren, teilweise mit starkem regen und 150-180 auf der autobahn oder auch durch die Berge etc also so gut wie jedes Terrain gehabt eigentlich. Habe mich nicht unsicher gefühlt oder irgendwas negatives bemerkt.
Mit Kumho Ganzjahresreifen habe ich zum Beispiel sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Das war auch im Winter im Harzgebiet absolut kein Problem.
We fitted Kumho Wattruns to our last Leaf, twice, and have also put them (Ecsta PS71s) on our Polestar2 a few months back. Reasonable performance, great price and good mileage based on the Leaf's first set (>40,000km).
I run Yokohama V701 225/45 R18 and I'm really happy with them.
Eu mi am luat Kumho și nu ar putea fi mai mulțumit.
Kumho are solid and great value. With studs those things are going to be savage !
Kumho Solus's. Bought them as an all weather tire for a backup vehicle. Reviews seemed mixed but decent overall and the price is hard to beat. They wore faster than winter tires, and didn't have near the same performance. Even with rotations, the tread was gone within 25000 km.
The worst tire had to be Yokohama geolanders. They would break traction so much in the rain it was terrifying.
I think it’s gotta be the Kumho all seasons I have on my DD right now, they have absolutely zero grip even on perfectly dry warm roads
