I have the '04 EX 6 cyl. Can you spin the tires? Have done so accidentally
a few times when taking off in tight spots. I'm sure if one wanted to leave
a good amount of their tire investment on the pavement, it could be done
(though the 6 isn't as good at it as my Vmax was).

When testing, the 4 was actually peppy, but the 6 could easily merge onto a
CA freeway with 4 or 5 people in the car easily (up to 75 mph well before
the end of the ramps).

Good torque at the low end, speeds through the gearing quite well. Good
performance, 29 MPG actual on the highway (driving at 70+ most of the time),
21-22 around town.
