    Without any doubt this is the most beautiful accord coupe ever designed.

      Pablo Gonzalez Mendez wrong. The 1998-2002 6th generation Honda Accord is the best looking

      My opinion
      1st ‘08-‘12
      2nd ‘07 Coupes with the LED lighting
      3rd 98-02 coupes my cousin had one it was a nice car indeed !

    WOW, did not expect this to be so fast! 13 second range quarter mile runs are nuts for a stock Accord... This is as fast as the V8 Camaro's of the 90's and early 2000's! (Although those sound way better than this does)

  • @Steve_K_Tseng
    @Steve_K_Tseng 15 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Stunning. If only they'd given this car rear wheel drive or the SH AWD. If they badged it an Acura CL, or even named it the sixth generation Honda Prelude, it would've helped. Unfortunately, most people associate the Accord with reliability, efficiency, and blandness. A shame as this can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds (Car & Driver) and 14 seconds flat in the 1/4 mile (Motortrend). And in terms of looks, it's the closest thing to a DB9 for anyone who hasn't won the lottery or is a secret agent.

  • @JRPapollo
    @JRPapollo 15 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Yes!!! Thank you for saying this! I feel the exact same way. I've been looking for my eventual next car, and this has everything... almost. It is an extremely good looking car. If it had an awd or rwd option, I think this Accord would be stealing sales from all kinds of segments that it doesn't currently directly compete with. They could even stand to bump that power up a bit. This was so very nearly going to be my next car (though, it looks so nice, it still may be, haha).

  • @MATTP545

    • @aayonce4
      @aayonce4 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Is it v6 or 4cyl not that matters because the car is a gem looks really good with the sunroof in the tilt position and if you get the 4cyl the 17 inch aluminum rims looks great when you polish them well. Great power from the 4cyl as well . Just be mindful of the ball joints they tend to fail sooner than most. I live in PA and I've had mine for 7+ years has never left me stranded only had to change the starter after a year of being a pizza delivery driver in my younger years lolz I'm 26 now and the car is still as fun to drive as when I first got it. I say go for it !

  • @bryancarper4513

    My gist was an ‘84 2 dr hatch. Many years later I had a ‘04 V6 M6 Red coupe. Now I am in a’ 14 V6 EX-L Navi Black. Best of them so far. So sorry that Honda has discontinued both the engine and the coupe. My next car will have to be a V6, but it might have to say Acura. 🙁

    Remember the G35 is RWD though, so after all is said and done, the G will be able to out-show the Accord on the track. When the snow comes however, then you will be able to pass the G with ease.
    To be honest, the G35/37 and Accord Coupe really belong in two different classes; the Accord is the best option for someone that wants a drive anywhere anytime and have fun car. The G35/37 are really more of a Track-day car. The G37 with AWD takes the cake foooo shoooo though.

  • @dwilsonjr78
    @dwilsonjr78 13 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The V6 Accords are very quick, but with 271 hp in a front wheel drive car, it tends to produce too much torque steer. The four cylinder with 190hp is plenty of power for the Accord and you save money as well!

  • @HalfBreedMix
    @HalfBreedMix 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @jaymum23 your family has good taste in cars. I love the G-coupes, but that tiny trunk space is nowhere near practical. I like to think that me being a single guy with no kids allows me to not care about things like trunk space, but not being able to haul anything bigger than a suit case kinda sucks.

  • @1970borntorun

    As good as the V6 Manual is, I think that the 4cyl / Manual is a better buy. You can hot-rod the crap out of the engine to give it more power (cheaply!), and have a better balanced/more tossable car due to less weight over the front tires :)

    • @skullduggery3377
      @skullduggery3377 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i may have been a little hasty in labeling the 08' a lemon. i do know it had some issues; like going through brakes a lot. there may have been other issues. i know the 03' had some issues. the 03' was the first year of the 7th gen. i kind of forgot about the issues after buying an 07 accord. very pleased with that vehicle. if you're looking for an 8th gen, the coupes are SO much more stylish looking than the sedans, in my opinion. in the 7th gens, the coupes and sedans are pretty much identical except for on the coupes, the rear passenger windows taper down into a nice looking finish, giving a slightly sportier look. also, the 7th gen rims are borderline ugly; where the 8th gens are more stylish and look less dated. just do some research if you're looking to buy and keep in mind the 1st year of any given generation is worth really checking into any flaws. good luck.
