Consumer Reports' writeup of the 2013 Honda Accord includes this statement about the V6:
"Buyers who want a bit more performance can opt for the 278-hp, 3.5-liter V6, which uses "variable cylinder management" to improve fuel economy. Under low-load situations, such as highway cruising, three of the cylinders are shut down. This results in a moaning sound and some rough vibrations, typically occurring around 1,800-2,000 RPM."
Do those who own the 2013 or 2014 V6 find that there is "a moaning sound and some rough vibrations" at the stated RPMs? I did not get a chance for any extended cruising in the test drive.
