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)
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.
I FINALLY test drove one of these beauties! It was even better than I expected and I am so buying one next year. It was a black on black EX-L V6 with navi. The price was $28,000, not bad :) .
I have 1 black 2010, got it last year with only 45000 miles...........today june 2020 it has 60000 miles and runs like a new car........I love my Honda.
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).
i just bought one of these v6 ex-l and am really enjoyin it...have only eased the revs up to 3.25k with the redline at 6 3/4 u can tell it has so much more...the best part is its a practical car for a commuter also!
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 !
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.
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!
@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.
@AlexanderBlueAvenue There were V4's in the past. Ford made V4's for some of there European models in the 60's and early 70's and they were also in other European cars in that era as well such as Saab and Renault.
@bmxer272 camaro has aggressive looks and more guyish, its more powerful though. The accord has a lower fuel consumption and still powerfull. The accord has a better resale value
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 :)
comparing the honda accord's performance to a g37's is like comparing usain bolt to a cheeta. the only thing similiar it that they can move, but they were ment for very different things
i test drove one of these and was disappointed, i sorta wish it was sportier, even on sport suspension there was still alot of body roll along with a hard ride. the interior i wish was better also, its too simple, i wish it had the gauges from the civic
like this car but fuel economy isnt that good, also the backup camara wasnt offer but on the 2011. im going to wait for the 2013 Accord coupe coming up this jan 10. all redesign
i have a acura nsx over 300hp and its real real quick, fixing to put a supercharger on it and it will be about 440hp at the real wheels acura the best car in the world.
@AlexanderBlueAvenue other then those two as an exception, because they are made to be tuned, i dont believe people should tune cars like a civic, accord, camary, corrola, mazda 3, 6, etc..and even those who tune stis and evos i feel arent great tuned cars so yeah waste of money, especially the fwd 4 cylinders, they are the worst
@rish1rish I'd almost agree, but let's face it. You're gonna put more money in repairs into that thing than you can afford. VW is awesome, but they break like an SOB.
it's very ironic that such a great looking redesign for the 1st year of the 8th generation turned out to be such a lemon. same thing happened in the 7th gen; 1st year was very bad.
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.
hh hi every one nice car ^_^ realy like it you can put on twin terbo or somthing then you will kick some a** ^_^ 5.8 woow for 271 hp and 3.5 super nice thanks .
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
Dolpins101 Especially the rear and its NSX design queues.
lol seriously dolphin those are the ugliest pieces of shit evar
Pablo Gonzalez Mendez Agreed, this gen looks like a c class from behind
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 !
I bought the '12 Accord Coupe MT I4 EX brand new. Still have it. Zero issues. Still turns heads. I'm never giving it up.
Got a 2007 Coupe - still running today....what a great buy it was back in 2006
My '12 Coupe bought new...still driving it today!
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)

I have HFP Accord Coupe 2012 and the car does 200kph for 1 hour straight. love the car
it even gets better as I drive it.
Love my 09' Accord Coupe!
Sad Honda ditched the coupe I just bought a 19 sport 2.0t but would of definitely bought a coupe version.
Same.
this has to be the best lloking car honda currenly makes, I have one in the dark grey and I love it
Great platform!!! Years later there are some absolutely modded out 8th gen coupes!!
I FINALLY test drove one of these beauties! It was even better than I expected and I am so buying one next year. It was a black on black EX-L V6 with navi. The price was $28,000, not bad :) .
I'm sure you've long forgotten that you ever made this comment, but I'm interested. Did you ever purchase one?
I have 1 black 2010, got it last year with only 45000 miles...........today june 2020 it has 60000 miles and runs like a new car........I love my Honda.

3:40 *Blessed by the Accord*
One of the sexist 2 door 4+4 coupes.
Sexist 😭
Rear swaybar swap from an Acura TSX does wonders. $90 and 30 minutes of work totally changes the body roll
This is honestly my favourite coupe, the design is sleek and reminiscent of a Mercedes
I had the same exact car, San Marino Red, V6 manual. It was a blast
I always loved this car!
The 7.5 gen Accord coupe is the sexiest.
The audio quality is so good for being 12 years old
This is going for 4grand right now in "good condition". Worth it in 2021/'22 after 14 years in snowy and salt road treated weather?
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.

13.9 secs that’s impressive lol

Nice interior, and even nicer front end and side profile. Rear end is meh
the 2008-2012 2010-present (Crosstour) Honda Accord/ Honda Crosstour is the
2009-present Acura TL
Great video
@rish1rish The base A4 Would be a downgrade to the V6 Coupe. Correct?
about 8-9 seconds 0-60 for the 4 cylinder
you test drove one? how was it how it feel ? smooth? ruff? cuz i want to get the 2010 but i wanna do research 1st b4 i order it
2011-2012 HFP Accord is the best looking Accord coupe ever made
very nice review rhanks a lot
I got the 2008 Accord Coupe v4. Looks nice, but not very fast. Should I even try to put anything in it to make it faster or is it a waste of time?
@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.
Did they do a review on the 06-07 accord??? Cant seem to find any vids
thats the one i have....does not seem to be any vids
This is the last real Honda aside from the Civic Si.
i don't know why I want this car suddenly....
very nice design
Still looks good!
@AlexanderBlueAvenue
There were V4's in the past. Ford made V4's for some of there European models in the 60's and early 70's and they were also in other European cars in that era as well such as Saab and Renault.
@hokkienlang100 he did that as a nod to the UK because that's how they pronounce it over there. so it can be said both ways.
@caj487 Honda makes a 220 HP 4 Cyl?
All they need is direct injection in the K24.
Nice car!
@bmxer272 camaro has aggressive looks and more guyish, its more powerful though. The accord has a lower fuel consumption and still powerfull. The accord has a better resale value
@immortal4942 whats the 0-60 for 2.4 version??
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 :)
i dunno, im quite keen on the +70hp and just about +100ft lbs of torque..
ya the g35 is more expensive so it better be faster, which it barely is
Love the car.
I wish they tested the 5 speed auto 4cyl
That's because you're an idiot.
@@danielc1417 and you're literally shit out my ass. Fuck off
comparing the honda accord's performance to a g37's is like comparing usain bolt to a cheeta. the only thing similiar it that they can move, but they were ment for very different things
Is 5.8 sec 0-60 time bad for a FWD 3.5 litre 270+ hp where as an Infinit G35 coupe gets about 5.5 seconds to get to 60.
You can get down to mid 5's. Plus the G35 is RWD.
i test drove one of these and was disappointed, i sorta wish it was sportier, even on sport suspension there was still alot of body roll along with a hard ride. the interior i wish was better also, its too simple, i wish it had the gauges from the civic
Wish I bought a coupe instead I got a 2010 EXL V6
@FloridaIsWhereItsAt i think its a waste to tune any v4 that is produced today
why does the 6spd manual in the v6 loose torque?
different tuning I think.
This Accord Coupe is faster to 112 than a 94 to 95 BMW 850CSI
like this car but fuel economy isnt that good, also the backup camara wasnt offer but on the 2011.
im going to wait for the 2013 Accord coupe coming up this jan 10. all redesign
i have a acura nsx over 300hp and its real real quick, fixing to put a supercharger on it and it will be about 440hp at the real wheels acura the best car in the world.
Can we get an update
I always hated the chrome door handles. I wish they were body colored. Idk it just looked cheap to me
0:34 am I the only one who sees the ectoplasm coming out of the car?
rather have an 07 exl 6-6 coupe they look better and 400 pounds lighter with an 3.0 v6 that's been built over 20 years
@AlexanderBlueAvenue other then those two as an exception, because they are made to be tuned, i dont believe people should tune cars like a civic, accord, camary, corrola, mazda 3, 6, etc..and even those who tune stis and evos i feel arent great tuned cars so yeah waste of money, especially the fwd 4 cylinders, they are the worst
@downdere The G35 coupe will hit 60 in 5.4 seconds and the G35 has more than just straight line performance.
Damn man this car hauls ass!
I think it's to Chunky and bulky in the Back compared to the 2002 honda accord cope I wish it was cornered somewhat like the Cadillac cts Coupe
CT’s coupe is somewhat vulgar
@rish1rish I'd almost agree, but let's face it. You're gonna put more money in repairs into that thing than you can afford. VW is awesome, but they break like an SOB.
@jmmcool yeah american v8s ;)
Its fwd though

this car looks better in life, pretty quick but still wouldnt buy one
It has a bullshit v6 that uses 4 cillindars when ur driving normal 3 when stopping and 6 when your putting your foot down go for the 4 cillindars
fordgtrocks1579 that’s only on the vcm version there’s a manual with full fledged vtec using all 6 cylinders at all times.
dafuq is on 3:34?
Great car but the leather was crap
Coupe is beautiful but nothing sporty about this car. I'd rather have the Nissan 350Zeeeee
did he say Klan... SMH
LOL
