- If you are an automotive enthusiast, you would probably agree that there isn't anything too exciting happening with the Honda brand these days. Honda is more about everyday driving and fuel economy but there is a glimmer of excitement still left in the Line-up. The 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V-6 with the manual gear box is surprisingly fun to drive.

Styling wise the Accord Coupe is one sharp car that does not go overboard. Up front the Accord Coupe still carries the familiar Honda family design but adds a bit more aggressive LED headlights. There is 18-inch rims wrapped in 235-series tires at all four corners. The shoulderline runs from the headlights up to the top of the taillights and gives the coupe come character. Out back there is some chrome and a dual exhaust for added flair. And with this red paint the whole package works well without shouting in your face.
Most Honda Accord's will be paired with the 4-cylinder engine that makes 185 HP. The engine you want is the 3.5 liter V-6 that makes 278 horsepower and 252 lb-ft. of torque making this one of the most entertaining front wheel drive cars on the market. There is also a 6-speed manual transmission available.
On the inside you realize the Accord coupe has a better interior than the Civic and it feels much more up-market. The materials are nice and the integrated screen in the dash is great. Honda has always been great with ergonomics and the Accord Coupe is very pleasant to drive and user friendly.

This guy was a great reviewer. Bring him back!
V-TEC just kicked in, yo.
Honda underrates the power output of the Accord. The I4 is really pumping over 200 HP, and the V6 makes closer to 300.
NSX-R that’s what I thought too.
I agree. I just bought a Touring coupe V6 with the auto and it’s just so quick. Instant torque. I wanted a 6-6MT but they’re so dang hard to find!! I really love the car though.
By far the most underrated car ever made!
I remember I used to watch this review because that was my dream car , and I'm so happy that I was able to find it , is a 2014 Accord coupe v6 mt and bought it with the HFP package . Is being with me for four years so far, I remember that I used to even pray to own this amazing machine. And I feel like this was a gift from God 😇. God Bless everyone
I always crack a smirk when people say Honda doesn't have any fun to drive cars anymore and "rip this and rip that" when in reality I have seen almost every Honda made car with a J series leave things in the DUST at races. This car is a gem and personally it stacks to a mustang v6 alternative very well. Good review
It's Faster than a stock v6 mustang. It only weights 3100 pounds
Amazing coupe. The 4cyl 6sp manual is just as fun and responsive to drive. A little easier to handle, if you're not used to a torque-y gearbox and the torque of a V6.
The accord is best at playing multiple roles. It's super quiet and comfortable yet when you want something that has good power and fun to drive as well, it beats out the mustang.
Thanks for your review. I bought one and am loving it! I've had it almost 5 months and it is so much fun to drive.
Rob McNamara Manual or automatic? What type of mpg are you getting?
3:46 Especially when it kick up in the Vtec range YO! Love it! Getting the same car soon, can't wait.
V-TEC YO!
Picked up my 2013 V6 EX-L stick recently, I'm in love...
George lucky
Hard to find ! Love on it and don’t sell it. I’m from the future and they are beyond rare In 2023
Just mind boggling how far they've come from my first 1988 accord!
Just got this exact car yesterday for my first car and I’m so excited!
I am driving a pre owned honda accord 2011 coupe... I love it... v6
I own a 2015 automatic. Tons of backseat room. Trunk space is ok but not the best. Gas mileage isn't too bad. The V6 engine is a beast. I do mostly highway driving. It just purrs at higher speeds and it accelerates like a rocket when asked . The car is built like a tank and has an absolutely rock solid feel. The interior is a bit old school, however I prefer a classic look over flashy electronic LED. I love just about everything about this car.
ACURA should really take this car put the SHAWD.. with wood or carbon fiber trip, change the valve timing and viola Acura cl 3.5
also add some of that new hyprid tech, get a nice 350hp engine going
He's right about the smile when you drive this thing. Every time I enter the highway on ramp I'm laughing.
Well-spoken, good review. I'm debating between the GTI, Paceman, Countryman and this...
Dexter Haven What did you get?
buildmorefarms100 I wound up seeing an Infiniti G37 parked outside my gym. I liked the look of it. So I got a used '11 G37 for $27k, with only 26,000 miles. Good so far. V6, 330 hp...
This is what I am looking to buy
Damn, I'm in love with this car and have been saving like crazy. Time to take manual transmission lessons as well lol
Vtec range YO! :D
If you add RWD it would mean less interior space on a car that's not meant to be a full out sports car
Nice review. I owned a few honda products in the past. 99 civic Si ,01 S2000,03 TL TypeS. This reminds me of a Acura CL Type S. Wish Honda was the old Honda again. I currently drive a 12 SS Camaro LS3.
Great review. I think I am going to buy 1.
They should just call the Accord coupe the Prelude. It's kind of the spiritual successor to the Lude anyway. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks ..great vid ..so my next car ..I have a 03 Acura cl s right now
Good review with lots of information clearly conveyed. Nice job!
Jeff is right, Mazda does make the best manual gearboxes.
Mazda can make a Rotary motor work, but a V6,,,,oh no, that too hard.
A Japanese V6 in the previous generation Mazda 6's WOULD have been great; but having to use a Ford engine instead is just laughable.
Honda we need this in the UK!!!!!
I love Hondas I'm a proud owner of a 2015 Accord coupe EXL
I always look forward to reviews from Jeff Glucker here on your channel - he does a great job!
This guy did a great review. Bravo!
I was going to get an Accord coupe but got a turbo RSX-S instead. No regrets.
my next Accord!! :-)
i disagree about honda gearbox, i bought a 07 civic si after 2months that thing was popping out of 3rd gear had it fix after a while it grinds not all hondas has good gearbox so sorry if i had to disagree, im looking at the honda sport sedan but this time an automatic lols. good review
well prob that was only ur car then, bc i have friends who own a SI and they love it. your car was prob one of those ones w a defect. so don't blame Honda bc of a bad luck
@jvrdlc not blaming honda, i have a co worker 2014 si gearbox faulty, enjoy yours
jvrdlc
not blaming honda but i have a co worker 2014 si sick as tits but gearbox fautly, i guess you guys are the lucky ones, enjoy your si
AND it lasts really long.
This is probably the best Honda ever made, but needs to be 300+ for the money.
5:31 shows a 4cyl, single exhaust tip.....
Would it still be a good deal to get this car today in the trim right before turning for $15k? 40K miles on it, great condition.
Yup cool car..... but why show the 4 cylinder when testing the V6 .... 5:29
Cuz they look the same beside the dual pipes
This car will be a rocket with gas without Ethanol! I tried it in my 2006 Accord V6 AT trans so I know what im talking about
I had a 2013 accord coupe v6.
A few months ago I had just got off work.... It's about 11pm and I'm on a back road.
Out of no where 2 deers slam right into my side. I swerved over in a ditch & there go's my 30,000 dollar car.
No insurance?
@dropkickproductionstx, it just had elegance about them, now its like they're confused on what to do on the inside of the car because the center stack has no flow and the dashboard is Ancient looking.
5:26 different car than shown in the beginning.... No fog lights and single exhaust instead of dual. Guessing EX instead of EX-L?
I used to own a 2009 sedan V6, upgraded to a 2010 coupe v6. Only thing I don't like is the auto is terrible on them. Probably going to get a 2014 in the future because the auto got so much better in that generation.
From far away, I sometimes confuse an Accord for a Lexus because of the LED DRLs...
Drive wheels in the front for better handling. Front wheel drive pulls you into the turns rear wheel will kick out the rear and yull lose control..
Although the presenter is articulate and personable...how can a "review" fail to even mention the seats, the back seats, or the trunk?
i fuckin love this car... got a 08 coupe tho and love it ...
I bought my 2008 coupe, v6/M6 new, and it's 15 years later, not giving it up, nope. 15% of production were coupes, how many were v6 manuals, I bet about 5%
@@humer1971 what a jewel you've got. I had to sell mine 😭
@@LyricalBlock32 I am sorry to hear that, I hope your Honda found a good home.
@@humer1971 yeah 😔 i love that car
isnt a gdi engine prone to carbon build up? i really wanted this car until i started hearing about problems with a gdi.. now im not so sure.... HELP!!!!
great job fam
Less talking more driving
Kalisha Streeter Meow!
I kinda want to pick one up once they depreciate a lot. And I know it seems cliche, I’d totally LS(4) swap it and maybe put some forced induction later on because I love torque steer. Also I’m just trolling everyone with this comment.
Very nice interior
even if its very different, the wrx goes after much the same customer and is tough competition. Cool car though.
loveee this car.
I really wish this car were a rear wheel drive. I would have one.
or awd
Should have offered this style as a hybrid would have been nice.
Hybrid=slow=not sporty=does not belong in a coupe
i have the same car in black... so hard to keep clean.. the red is very attractive.. next year honda is offering 2 new colors for the honda coupe... i may trade mine in for it if i found a color i really love over my black one...
Black does look nice when you buy it but you have to try twice as hard to keep it clean. If it does have more colors next year I will definitely want to own one.
What are the new colors for 2015?
buildmorefarms100 For the 2015 EX-L V-6 Coupe with a manual trans/ the colors are: white, black, steel metallic and red. For the automatic trans/ they include: silver, blue, and tiger eye pearl, which is like a dark orange color.
Id like the dark orange but only in manual transmission!
buildmorefarms100 Unfortunately, you can only get that with the Automatic transmission and a V6.
Way to many redundant center stack controls. Honda needs to get back to basics and keep it simple.
How tall are you
bad interior eh? I wonder what will happen later this year when the new mustangs come out. It looks like they upped the interior.
At 1:05 it has dual exhaust and at 5:30 it has only one?? What?
That's an ad from the company.
Actually, the Accord Coupe is more aerodynamic than the sedan because it has less mass AND is lower in height.
Someone should comment on how heavy this car is ? . If Honda only made a RWD or even AWD accord I would buy one for sure . For $ 32k I would rather buy a used Acura TL with sh-awd . For now I will be enjoying my fun to drive 97 prelude . From the honda fun car days when they made fun cars to drive . RIP s2000 & Integra type r and Prelude lol...
you are exactly right. rip s2k. but we might get a civic turbo. the accord v6 is still fast it really is. I would rather buy a used civic and send it to jotec tuning.
That's a great idea, a used all wheel drive Acura TL. Thx!:)
3100 pounds that's why it's fast
If you opt for the Automatic, Honda forces the VCM on you :-(
So get ready to stomp the gas a lot if you want all the engine you paid for to work.
The VCM in the 9th generation is just fine. If there were any issues previously they've been addressed and it is much smoother, If you have driven one and determined this then that's your respected opinion. If you haven't driven one the give it a try.
I'd hope they would have refined the VCM; but I still don't think it's worth all the trouble to save a little bit of gas. If people want better MPG, then they should get the 4 cylinder. Also remember that nothing is free; all that VCM hardware and programming is raising the price tag, would rather have that money go into a HFP suspension.
Here is an objective point of argument; why didn't they put VCM on the manual ? The sales rep told me that the potential customer for the stick-shift wouldn't care for VCM (notice he said nothing about mechanical difficulties getting it to work, just the customer's taste).
I disagree and I can vouch for real world experience since I own a '13 Honda Accord v6 with an AT.
For City driving, VCM is very un-intrusive. You barely notice when it runs on 3 cylinders and just putting a little gas lifts it back to 6. On highway, I love it. Just maintain a good speed and VCM gets me 30+ mpg without trying.
Thanks for the feedback LittleCD, I just wish Honda gave the customer the option to select VCM or not; hey, a switch to turn it on and off would have been great.
I agree, a VCM button would have been great HalfBreedMix
That will still be running like new, after the BMW Landfill has dissolved back to iron ore
This is a 2013 not 2014
Accord V6 is lighter thus faster then the V6 mustang
Also down roughly 30 horsepower. So no, it's not faster.
It is faster. I have raced a v6 mustang. My 2014 coupe v6 only weights 3100 pounds. I also beat my my friends g35 stock
Torque Steer is FUN. Uhhh no. This car still LOOKS odd on the exterior. Especially the rear. I'd make a mid-sized coupe but lose the Accord name please and it's traditional styling.
This is such BS. The mustang would be more fun to drive because it's RWD. Please...I used to have a brand new Stang in 2013. Traded that for a new GTI in 2014 and I can tell you this... The GTI is a WHOOOOOLE lot more fun to drive than the mustang and the GTI is FWD. As a matter of fact, if you search most fun cars to drive for under 30k, the GTI tops almost all of those lists. So don't give me this BS about RWD being more fun to drive.
new genesis coupe blows this out of the water u should review that if u havent already
On paper
msjconnolly On a straight line it barely outruns the Accord, and the Genesis has much more power.
JoeBlo2 prove it
Prove? Just compare the stats.
the 2014 honda accord coupe does 0-60 in 6.3 seconds. The 2.0t genesis coupe does it in 5.9 seconds and the 3.8 gen coupe does it in 5.2 seconds thats the stats for ya. So i dont know where u got your info from. And any car that does it in 6 or less is considered a fast car
If it was a rwd I would totally buy on but it isn't. So no
Почему в Россию эта красота не поставляется? :(((
still a front wheel drive car, I would rather go with the Civic Si
Looks like the 2015 mustang from the side
The thing that bothers me, the fact that you use a curling iron on your hair bangs. I would not compare a crappy Ford with a Japanese performance car.
Not all RWD cars are fun to drive.*cough *cough *smart fortwo *cough
Interesting interior? more like designed by schizophrenics, I do love the exterior thou.
I would have liked to see more screens.
It is goodest than mustang
I wish I could afford one :/
Have you been able to get one bro ?
Eh, ill keep my s2k.
OOPS
daaaaaam it
toyota camry baby
Now that is funny.
Still a 5 sec car ahh.
40k for an Accord....? Don't be ridiculous.
its under 40K, and tell me what else you can get under 40k with V6, i really cant think of any good ones.
LaoK8710 370Z
Samy Ismael yea, but only with manul and no extra opinion, remember this one is top the line with technology package, tell me how much u will spend to get the 370z with nav (even with nismo, which indicates "top the line" opinion)
no 34K.
LaoK8710 Why would you drive a 370z with anything BUT a manual? Sports cars are meant to be fully experienced with a manual gearbox.
Great engineering, but it's claustrophobic.
This guy needs to go drive a 335i so he knows what a real "enthusiast" car drives like. This coming from somebody who actually owns a 6 speed v6 Accord coupe. I love the car, but let's be real - it's a large heavy FWD grocery getter with a good gearbox.
you talk to darn much, people dont care about the million words you have to say about the car, people wanna see the test drive
Want an automatic MazdaSpeed3 with an Automatic? Sorry, no can do. So buy this one instead.
Want a new Acura NSX for only $35,000 ? Sorry, if you want a new Honda coupe with a V6 for that price you will have to buy this car instead.
Yea Mustang is a stretch....Even Genesis is a closer comparison than Mustang
Genesis is also RWD. And besides I wouldn't be surprised if the Accord coupe can thrash a V6 Mustang on or off the track
Scion tC
The sedan v6 looks way better!
yo :) hehe
outdated interior! UGLÈÈÈH
I want this car not in black tho
FIRST!!!
The Honda coupe is growing up and getting bigger every model year. When will it stop ???? lolzzzzz Is it because human being getting fatter and fatter ? I thought so....hahaha :)
It's not bigger for the 9th generation. The car is actually smaller, however the interior is a bit wider. It is not bigger than the last generation.
Ugly inside and the lights on the bottom back bumper looks horrible
What's a better looking interior for comparison sake?
The Altima, Optima, Sonata, and the 2015 Chrysler 200. The 2007 Accord were the best looking accords inside and out
Traviie Smith Really? That generation of Accord just looks so...plain to me.
