I liked the idea of the 2.0T in the Accord...

Do we have the 0 to 60 times? Cars are getting really fast these days with less power

I’m very surprised it wasn’t underrated.

Faster to 60 than both the old Accord V6 and the new Camry V6.

Strange..... Redline Reviews did V6 auto vs 2.0T auto rolls and the latter consistently won....which is what R&T here seems to corroborate

Although the 2.0T always pulled half a car or so at the beginning of every 40mph roll, the V6 crushed it in short order, usually well before the speedometers hit 60. In a traditional 40-120 roll, the new car wouldn’t be within shouting distance of the old one’s taillights.

That seems to say that the 2.0t is SLOWER than the V6. Considerably slower.

Ehh, I can’t say this upsets me greatly. The 2.0T loses some soul vs. the V6 but it at least is dynoing at a number in line with its rating from Honda.

I agree.

True but the turbo will show substantially more torque beterrn 3000 and 4500 which is where most people drive. Unless you are actually doing a drag race, my bet is Joe consumer will consider the turbo to be the stronger motor.

Hmmm... reviews and test results seem to be bouncing all over, not a good sign. I wonder if they are having build consistency issues on that Accord spec motor? More sensitive to bad fuel? Temp changes? Sounds a bit like what Ford went through with the 4.6 modular back in the day - sounded cool, but wasn’t consistently making the go as designed.

Everything about that chart and their write up says they never got it to pull right on the dyno. Almost certainly the combination of an auto transmission, and intrusive software. It was running well below expected torque in the low RPMs, and wouldn’t go near redline, then lit the dashboard up like a Christmas tree.

I’m going to hold my opinion for a less tumultuous run.

Your statement makes it sound like the 2.0 is faster but the quote you used states that the V6 was faster after 40...
