i wanna know what the weight of the 5th gen accord realy is.. i have the actual helms shop manuel an it states in there that the weight is

(usa) gross vehicle weight rating.. dx,lx 3,915lbs
ex 4,010lbs

(canada)gross vehicle weight rating.. lx,ex 1,775kg =metric
ex-R 1,820kg =metric

but yet everyone else says different weights in other books, an on web sites as well.. so wich is it realy, cause i thought that the helms book was the one that was made for honda directly.. i bought it from the honda dealer an it is the shop manuel that they all go by.... does anyone know the actual truth to this question...lol im so confused on this...on my car the sticker says the exact weight that is stated above for the lx yet everyone else says different... so confusing this is...

i think those weights are the car weight witht the most weight it can handle roughly 1klbs, so basically the cars should weight 2915/3010lbs, you think 5 seats avg weight aprx 180lbs a piece900lbs.. plus 100lbs in the trunk...

well like i said, that weight like i posted is directly out of the helms manuel... what i wanna know is why somebody says one weight, an then the next person that comes along says something totaly differint.. know what im saying... it is just funny that all these ppl talk about the same thing, yet nobody seems to realy know the truth aobut it... i have even called an talked to a honda tech, an he said a different wieght then what was actualy in the books, infact he told me that the car is roughly 2-300lbs heavyer then what they state in the book.. it is just funny to me...

I had to get an accurate weight for mine when I had to change regos because of an interstate move. 1296kgs or 2851lbs. This includes about 50 - 65lbs of stereo gear, but excludes my 17s as I hadn't whacked 'em on yet. This is real weight, with fuel, accessories like sunroof, spare tyre etc.
