2010 Honda Accord EX 50-80 slightly uphill

I posted this to show the 4-cylinder Accord's lack of power when climbing even minor grades. I'd definitely hesitate to take this car on a trip into the mountains. Yikes.

Granted the car is heavier than mine, but my Daewoo-era Suzuki pulls better than that in 3rd gear, in that speed range, on a steeper grade...(I should make a video lol)

And kinda to someone below, I live near the mountains, driven in them plenty of times. I easily go over 70 depending on traffic haha

I agree that it's not bad, but actually pretty good for a heavy-ish midsize sedan with a 4. I have a 2005 Altima 2.5 S- 175 hp and 180 ft/lb peak torque. It's a bit lighter than this Accord but then again it only has a 4-speed auto. Took it out on a similar grade tonight after watching this video and the result was pretty much identical. It took about 6 seconds to go from 60 mph to 80 mph which is a typical interstate passing situation for me. It's pretty peppy as I'm sure the 2.4 Accord is.

its not lack of power it doesnt have alot of midrange torque dats all bit it can beat alot of four clyinders out there.

Its really not that bad - I mean, you'd never naturally get over 65 driving through the mountains, anyway.
