2007 AccordEX V-6 6-Spd MT w/ XM Radio Sedan
 

Greets,

I just purchased a 2007 Accord EX V-6 6-Spd MT w/ XM Radio Sedan, and I
noticed that the motor is ultra rough when I turn the vehicle off. Is this
normal when they are new? It is hard to explain the "roughness", but my
2000 EX V-6 did not exhibit this behavior.

FWIW, the car is in neutral when I turn the ignition off. Other than that,
it is VERY FUN to drive and I think I made a great choice in a cross between
something sporty and practical. I smoked a new Nissan Maxima when I drove
the Accord off of the lot, so I am happy with its performance.

Now my gripe... Why in the hell did Honda not include MP3 capabilities in
its in dash head unit? Even the freaking Ford Focus has MP3 abilities.

try not to "smoke" the motor too much when new. read the owner manual
for run-in instructions. read the owner manual, period.

it's the only thing frod /can/ do - frod buyers don't buy based on
technology or superiority of product - they buy based on the freakin'
stero - go figure.

I interpret his statement to mean "gives a hard shake when it's turned
off".
