Hello auto gurus in the house,
Compliments of the season

Please what's the difference between the regular Honda Accord 2004 and Honda Accord 2004 I VTEC.
I wish to get one but someone is telling me that I VTEC is better than the regular ones and so also the pricing.
Again would you advise me to sell my tiny light camry in place of this sleek 2004 Accord I VTEC.
I need candid and professional advise please so I don't make mistakes I will regret tomorrow.
Thank you

Please advise o
Hope I'm in the right section

Go to Car Talk section. This place na for buy and sell

IVTEC is an honda technology that is fitted to engines, it is not a trim. All 2004 Honda Accord whether it's 4cylinder or 6cylinder has IVTEC technology embedded in them. Because one has IVTEC badge and the other doesn't have is no basis for differentiation.

What you should be bothered about is trim
DX
LX
EX
EX-L
Touring
Special Edition.

DX manual windows fabric seat could also be fitted with manual transmission

LX automatic windows, automatic or manual transmission with fabric seats

EX automatic windows, leather seats, automatic transmission some other perks like climate control, sound adjustment from stereo speakers, premium audio unit etc

EX-L is all what EX has but additional DVD screen that could have a 6 cd changer in the boot. Honda XM navigation system with rear backup camera and an MPG monitor etc depends.

Touring depending I think EX-L was replaced by Touring but a touring Honda has identical accessories to an Acura product.

Special Edition the 2013 generation I saw has a side mirror camera not your normal glass. The bulldog I have seen has gear level (Automatic) indicator on the dash meaning when you switch to D, it has indicator for 1 to 5 which is actually cool. Never entered a baby boy special edition or the year you are looking at

The Accord in the picture is bought brand new in Nigeria. I think those sold in Nigeria are Asia Pacific models.

I hold that opinion because Japan/Euro Accord of the same year is a different car. The Japan/Euro model is similar to the Acura TSX sold in North America.

The North American version of the Accord doesn't have an i-VTEC badge on the body. That badge is found on the Nigerian brand new version. The North American version is the same to the Asia Pacific model so this model would not be a US model but manufactured in Thailand.

I think brand new Honda sold in Nigeria comes from the Ayutthaya plant in Thailand.

That been said VTEC means Variable Timing Electronically Controlled and iVTEC means intelligent Variable Timing Electronically Controlled.

The downside of this car will be higher cost of plant specific parts such as engine, ECU, body parts. The Northern American models are important more than any other.
