great first car for first time drivers got a 2013 EX-L coupe v6 as my first car about 3 years ago went to a 2021 civic 2019 accord 2015 jeep v8 and now im back with a 2015 accord coupe and fell in love again
Awesome review man. I have a 2017 touring with 14k mikes last year they made it. Love it and I may keep it who knows. But your review is an honest owners review and great stuff man
Very Nice, I have a 11' EX-L V6 auto coupe and I love it. Was fortunate to find mine in great condition with 59,000 miles on it. It drives like a new car after a little bit of maintenance and has served me well. I'm more partial to the 8th gens due to the simple screen interior but I've driven a few 4cyl 9th gen sedans (even learned to drive in one) and they where all decent cars if they where taken care of. Definitely going to push mine as long as I can. It's a great road trip car and the backseats barely get used anyways so owning a 2 door is no issue for me.
I have this unicorn of a car. Mine's 2016 V6 6MT Touring Coupe, also Silver colour. Very smooth, fast on take offs and love it!!! This car will be a collectible, especially the 9.5 gen
Thanks, enjoyed the video. I am a longtime fan of Honda, we've owned five over the years. Presently driving a 2016 Accord EX-L V6 that I purchased new.... mileage to date (03/21/22) 23,400. I agree with everything you've mentioned, with the exception of engine switching from 3 cylinders to 6 cylinders at low to high speed ~ it is my understanding that the switching occurs during Interstate travel... once highway speed is accomplished and acceleration is level, the engine reduces from 6 cylinders to 3 cylinders in order to maximize MPG. BTW: As with most cars, my Accord has a sweet-spot @ 83 mph. Of course I always consider road & traffic conditions. Wishing you happy motoring
I had a white one with white interior. Bought it new but. Totalled it. Had everything done to it. Exhaust intake headers j pipe. Tune.. sound system. Miss it everyday
I’m here in Hawaii on Oahu and I love my 4 cylinder Honda exl coupe has all the features except navi and dual exhaust but I love it and it’s very reliable
I bought the 2017 V6 Touring Accord sedan brand new right before the 2018 model came out. It's almost at 300,000 miles and it's been a great ownershi experience. Havent had to repair ANYTHING! Just oil, a lot of oil changes. Not burning any oil yet. No issues. Wish I could keep it forever at this point, with the way the car industry is going lol
thanks for the review, the audio is not clear, so consider using a mic of some sort if you wish to improve that aspect your thoughts can also be better organized in categories or atleast summed up in the end........
I'm curious if you've noticed the transmission shifting rougher as the years go on. I own a fleet of Honda's, and I've noticed that although the Engine Mounts have been engineered to withstand the excess vibration caused by VCM, the Trans Mounts have not received the same engineering attention. There's 2 Trans Mounts, and the Lower/Rear Mount wears out by 130k-150k mi in my experience - I'm curious if you're able to feel/see it happening, or if Honda fixed that. It eventually develops into CV Axles getting bowed out and a vibration on acceleration between 25-45-65mph.
I did not notice any vibrations, at any speed. I did drive the car hard almost every day. I did notice the car shifted funny near the times to change the transmission fluid. (funny as in slipped and grabbed differently) curious about the motor mounts costs. I have owned a few Honda's, but this one holds a special place in my heart. but at the rate I drive it will be many years to see that type of mileage, you must be enjoying the ride.
@@MrKaiKai I've got 300k+ mi on a Civic, another 300k mi between two Accords. And those are just the daily drivers! If you own a floor jack and a piece of softer wood (most 2x4), you can replace mounts yourself. The Trans Mounts are like $10-$15 a piece, the Engine Mounts can run $35-$45. 2x Trans Mount + 3x Engine Mount = ~$165 in Parts for all 5 mounts. 5hrs labor should easily cover that, and I'm being generous. Let's say labor is $80/hr. $400 Labor + $165 Parts = $565
Does it have the automatic at 300k miles? If so, that is one reliable transmission then. I just got the 2016 Accord coupe V6 with auto and was wondering it it's any reliable
car is rated 19/29 for MPG I live 4 miles from the freeway so i averaged about 24 MPG all day long even with driving aggressively in the car near 50% of the time. it was such a joy to own if I had the chance to purchase a used V6 coupe with low miles like 54k I would buy it. I am excited for your purchase.
Hey question it’s here is there anything you look out for there’s something about purchasing this car but 2014 and it’s a V6 and I want any advice there tips to keep this car good and clean
I washed mine as often as possible usually every week. Kept it covered as much as possible out of the sun. Change the oil often and opt for better oil and don’t let the tires get old. When buying look for original owner and pay more for low miles. It is a great car. Sad they did not make a comparable replacement yet.
I only wanted a coupe. The 4 door sedan with V6- EXL is just as nice with bigger back seats. That’s a me thing. I like the sport look of a 2 door coupe
Michelin Primacy MXV4. Something .... 245...... 18. I got 50k miles out of them. I was very surprised and happy with the longevity and grip. I was sad how much they cost to replace but. Everything costs more over here.
thanks for the info, I did my research and this issue was specific to the 1.5 litter version which is not the car reviewed here and was resolved with a software update, done for free under a recall. hopefully you were able to take your car to the dealer and get the free fix., Mahalo for watching
@@MrKaiKai it sounds louder than my 2017 Honda Accord V6 sedan, I think coupes are louder than sedans, because I saw another coupe and is louder than my sedan 🥲
well, let see with my Accord I drove it softly when new for the first 3500 miles but then as soon as it was warm. I would punch at every safe opportunity. I think the frequent full throttle high RPMS somehow made it a little louder or prevented it from getting quieter over time. 😜
@@MrKaiKai could be 😂, I drive mine fast too when I can, but now I barely do it because I live in Canadá and I have winter 😅, I've seen a lot of videos of accord coupes stock and seen them in person too, and they all sound better and a little louder than my sedan🥲🥲🥲, I don’t know why they can’t sound the same 😓, I’m going to look for use stock mufflers of a Honda Accord coupe to install it on my sedan 🤣
@@pipedreams6946 I bought it new and discovered there are 3 identical v6 silver coupes of the same gen on Oahu, mine which I have seen a few times in Aiea since I sold it, has been driven by a young Man, that looks like he is in the military. I did not want to sell the car as I saved for 3 years to buy my first brand new car and so it had to be perfect, which it was. but I did not like taking it to the beach so I bought a Cheap truck, the black on in the video, so I could keep the Honda clean, I am single dad and when my son was almost 3 people saw how I waving him climb into the back and they made fun of me so I purchased a baby mercedes GLA, thought life was perfect. Beach Truck, soccer dad car and my responsible honda which is very sporty. but then I went to a Porsche racing event and got bit by that bug and so I asked the Porsche of Hawaii dealer about cars and by luck I meet the old timer sales guy who knows everyone and said if you wait a few months I will have the perfect car for you, which turned out to be the white Porsche, so for about a month I had 4 cars so one had to go. I listed the honda everwhere for 20k and then lowering the price by 1k per week until it sold. and still no one was interest than the manager at the volkswagen dealer by the airport called me and said they would buy it for 14k which made me very sad. I sold it for 14k for the 2015 Honda with 52k miles back in the begining of 2020. on this video which is about 2 years after I sold it I drove past it and got a clip of the old honda and it still looks good! th-cam.com/video/bpt_hVrGm74/w-d-xo.html
timing belts lighter and less resistance which gives the car more power which is why most racing engines use a belt. the belt is also good for 90k miles and usually around that time you change plugs and water pump so, yea its a painful expense but it is worth it for the long term.
@@raymelendez6525 For me it cost around 700 dollars, 200 for the Aisin timing belt/water pump kit (good quality kit) and 500 for my local shop to do it. Honda recommends doing it every 105k miles. That is not bad at all compared to other cars so i wouldn't let the timing belt affect your choice. Plus engines with chains still require water pump replacements which is its own labor cost too
The sound system is actually really good. The ex-V6 has a 7 channel sound system with a dedicated 8 inch sub. With the noise canceling feature to remove engine sound at low rpm. So the car is very quiet going down the road.One of the better factory sounds systems out there. It’s not Bose, but it really good. I normally loaded all my music on a mini usb stick and it was easy to browse and play music while keeping hands on the wheel. But it’s not a good car to upgrade the sound system, as it’s built into a lot of stuff. I feel I am an auto audio snob and the sound system made me happy. In fact it’s much better than the upgraded Harmon Kardon in my Mercedes.
The car was rated at 19 city 28 HWY and averaged 24.2 miles per gallon per tank. You could put it economy mode and get better mileage. But it is an earth dreams V6 when going sustained speeds or little load the engine turns off 3 cylinders to increase mileage so it can get better mileage. But I like driving it in normal mode or with the transmission in sport.
@@truesaiyan8310 I drove almost 50% on the highway. and put in full synthic oil and keep tires at proper air levels and changed out the air filter every year. I hope the car makes you happy, I SOLD mine and i miss it very much now. but my MPG was a the true average of my driving which is the combo.
It will be running a lot longer than most coupes for sure. So it’ll take a long time. But when high displacement motors become banned it will be a rare gem. Especially those not riced out.
I want this as my first car dude who wants to go fast but also wants honda reliability all while being safe with honda sensing 2 door look is awesome
I would prefer this one in the 6speed only cause I have the 7 gen coupe 6-6 accord
I started off with a accord sedan 2 years ago now it’s slammed fbo in tuned it’s Honda fun 😂

Awesome video I just bought a 2017 v6 touring coupe one owner and I love it same color as yours ❤️🤘
its a great car! enjoy the ride.
accord coupes are the best ive hard my 2012 k24 for a few months and love it every time im in it...PS YOU LOOK LIKE MARK WAHLBERG
It’s a beautiful car!

I miss mine almost every day, and I have Porsche's now.
I’m here in Hawaii on Oahu and I love my 4 cylinder Honda exl coupe has all the features except navi and dual exhaust but I love it and it’s very reliable
Aloha and enjoy the ride in your Honda. EXL 4 or 6 cyl, still an awesome ride, quiet, comfy, sporty and a great car. Mahalo for watching.
i just joined the army and im definitely looking to buy one as soon as i get the money up
i want the 2014 tho with manual
in Hawaii right now there is 2017 blue v6 exl. for sale. oh but a manual is hard to find.

Especially if you get a manual there sleepers
