Corsair V4 Engine


My apologies, should have specified that the guys vehicle was a 2008-ish Honda Accord, therefor, no way in hell he had a Ford V4 in there

If ya'll can find me an accord with a V4 from Iowa I'll give in and admit that I'm a d-bag for thinking poorly of the guy, but until then, I have no sympathy for his ignorance.

lol. You know now we will be looking for a honda accord with a v4 lol.

In looking I found at least 10 people asking questions about 2000+ model v4 accords. I have now come to the conclusion that people who buy honda accords know nothing about cars. Or Honda makes a v4 they do not offer as an option in the US.

These are listed as v4

Feel free to carry on the debate about a V4 but the guys car had an inline 4 cylinder, not a true "V4," end of story.

As with any dealership ad/craigslist post/ebay ad/any other classified ad, people can list their vehicle as whatever they want. IMO, those dealerships have simply mislabeled all of their Honda Accords. If you look at any/all of the engine bay photos, you will find that they are in fact the Honda I4 engines. So despite finding a description that reads "V4," your link is irrelevant to my original point. But it does prove that the audience for Honda's may not be as informed on their engine.

But again, if anyone wishes to continue the debate/search, feel free, I'll keep checking back to see if anyone can actually find a Honda Accord with a V4, preferably from Ames, IA, where I witnessed the guy calling his INLINE 4 CYLINDER a V4, I know what I saw, I know what I heard, no need for you trolls to continue the argument, but I guess if you have nothing better to do with your life, continue to research a Honda Accord V4 and try and prove me wrong, have a great day researching, as it appears you all have no desire to quit

Honda V4.... reminds me of ads i see for the gmc envoy/chevy trailblazer. Sooooo many of them say V6 when it has an I6, i cant stand vehicles that have far off descriptions like that, drives me nuts. If you're gonna sell something, take the time to get your facts right.

Do it I bet some even tries to help you find it

Prime example Of their diag ablites.We had a customer come in that went to auto zone to have the mil light check on his rav4.Had a p0420 code(cat eficent below treshold)an they tried to get him the buy some universal cat from them.The guy came in wanting to make sure thats what he needed.Turns out the cat is fine it just has a bad A/F sensor kinda common rav4' don't need cats changed very offend.They don't know how to check the sensors first almost every p0420 has been a sensor.

That little code reader they use has wasted so many peoples time an money by misdiagnosing what the code is.

01 Monte SS did your read my whole post? I said all people who buy hondas know nothing about cars. When you look at the pics it is clearly an i4. Most people probably think its a v4 because it is a vtec. And that so many people think that their honda accord is a v4 is what I was pointing out. It seems to be common for honda buyers to have no knowledge of engines.

Yes, pretty bold statement but I'm willing to bet it's true for a large majority on Honda owners.
