2009 Honda Accord V6 Coupe Snow Test Drive w/ Yokohama Ice Guard's

[@humer1971]

I have a 2008 Honda Accord V6/M6 and it is kept in a garage since new and never driven in snow and rarely in rain. A very spoiled and well serviced car, I love my Honda. You video makes me cringe with the winter driving.

Planning to get this as a winter beater, shit looks fun!!

I'm thinking about buying 2012 V6; regardless, how do you find the shifts while driving in automatic? N how is it on gas, I heard its not that bad overall?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

The automatic shifts well! It's a 5 Speed and is geared well even though it is down a few gears compared to the competition. The 2011-12 V6 Coupe also has a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel for more driving engagement. Regarding gas mileage, I'll get around 20 in the city and 28-30 on the highway with 23 in combined driving.

I just bought one! So for I'm really happy. Just snowed here too :(

[@zaveryavier]

jai the vegan how is the car holding up for you? Thinking about getting it for my first car too.

Someone help me out here, shouldn't traction control be better not worse? I have similar issue with an avenger.

For a driving video, the camera was too low. Could hardly see the road surface.

Okay this is a complete mystery to me, here's my opinion, I have a 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I purchased a set of Yokohama " Ice Guard " winter tires mounted on smoked alloys from my local Hyundai dealer. Without question, in fifty years of driving ,, through many Winters this particular winter tire is the worst I've ever had on any car I have ever owned. Traction is for the most part non existent, even with a slight covering of snow on the roads when I gear down the back end slides all over the place. And no, I don't need any idiot telling me I " don't know how to drive in Winter conditions ". I'm almost convinced it's the design of the car, rear wheel drive and wider tires on the rear ,, I really don't know ??

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Is this the first time you have driven this car in the snow? It is a lightweight RWD coupe, so the odds are already against it for driving in the snow with or without snow tires. Wider tires also can contribute to less traction in the snow- large wheels help handling in the summer, but smaller tires are ideal in winter. On my Accord, the Yokohama's have much more grip than my all-season Continentals in the snow. I have more grip while accelerating, stopping, and it corners very securely. That being said, wheelspin is still present unless I start in 2nd gear. For my car, it is a significant improvement. My guess is that it is just the lightweight, high power RWD nature of your car.
