Many of you have been filling my PM in box requesting that I write up a detailed comparison of the 996 versus the Accord. Well, unfortunately for both of you, and fortunately for the other gazillion Rennlist members, this is not that comparison.

However, I did want to list all of the features on the Honda that are better than the 996.

1. Stereo control buttons on the steering wheel.

OK, that just about sums it up. Next topic?

Easier to pronounce.

I must admit, I had to think about that one for a second!

redridge

is it Honduhhh or Hondahhhh.... nice write up Tim.

Patrick E

Agreed, appears pretty comprehensive to me.

Jake Ok

Here is my comparison

Jake,

Yeah, that pretty much tells the story.

Indeed Jake's contribution really sums it all up.
But Tim what about the oil on the Honda, will the use of 0-40W destroy the engine as it does on the 996's?

gota911

Yes it will, because Honda recommends....... you are going to love this...... 0-W20 oil. Yes, that is correct.... zero-W-twenty!

ivangene

oh man I am laughing....

great write up and reply's!~

CosmosC4S

Tim, what about the tilt and telescoping steering wheel!?

You forgot the most significant "feature"... GAS MILEAGE. These low prices can't last too long. OPEC just cut production, as a matter of fact.

another one for the Honda.
All 4 tires cost less then 1 rear tire.

Fast40th

More for Honda:
Honda has 5 person total seating capacity. 996 has 3 person total (i.e. 2 in the front and 2 halves of 1 in the back).

Honda has simulated alloy trim on dash. 996 only has simulated carbon fiber or simulated wood.
Honda has rear cupholders. 996--- what are those?

Tippy

You know, I was on the fence on which one I wanted.

Now, thanks to Tim, I have all the details I need to make an informed decision........
