- www.autobytel.c... The aren’t many affordable coupes on the market these days. The first ones that come to mind are the Mustang and Camaro but the Accord Coupe has a big advantage over both of them. There are 35 different trims for the Accord including the sedan model but the one test here in this video is an EX-L V-6 with a starting price of $30,895.
The 3.5 liter V-6 engine makes 278 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 MPH takes a little over 6-seconds. The transmission is a 6-speed and not a CVT. Fuel Economy is 21 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. The 2017 Accord Coupe delivers a smooth and composed ride. Safety technology is top notch getting top safety ratings from IIHS and NHTSA.
What sets the Accord V-6 apart from other coupes is the amount of interior room and a real world livable backseat.

I find it hilarious how all the Civic fanboys are drooling over the new Type R or Si when this car is available in 6 speed and nearly 300 hp. This car is a gem.
Abdelmelik Farooq Alwahid and the type r is freaking 35k+ after my 06 civic coupe I'm moving towards an accord coupe. the 08+ models looks so nice
Hidden gem at that
I think this is the most beautiful Honda of all time. I'll take this over a 2019 Civic Type-R any day. Classy, elegant, sporty. Perfect.
I'll take this over a 2019 Accord in a heartbeat. I don't understand why they don't offer a coupe anymore.
they really love driving that gaming mouse though.
The Accord coupe is so underrated. Sad that they've discontinued it for 2018.
Cade Del Rey when I'm done with my 06 civic coupe I'm moving to accord coupe. the 08+ models looks so beautiful
Have my coupe
Agreed, that shit looked nice
I'd take this over a 2019 Accord in a heartbeat. In my opinion this car is perfection. Most beautiful Honda of all time in my opinion.
i know. it sucks these cars were so good looking and the engines in the 4 and 6 cyl were awesome and the transmissions were flawless. so glad i got an 8th gen. these 2017 tho...so nice
Just purchased this coupe in the touring trim 2 weeks ago. Very nice car. It turns heads wherever I go. If anyone is on the fence about this car, I would highly recommend it. At least test drive one.
Manual or automatic?
+buildmorefarms100 The touring trim is only available in automatic with paddle shifters. That's what I have.
it looks a lot like the Mercedes Benz e-class coupe
Yes I picked up a 2016 6-6. Love it!!!
Do you think it's worth the extra $5000 to get the touring v6 trim or is the normal touring trim good. I'm not a driver who likes to drive fast ( probably go as high as 130 km on Highway but that's about as high I would go). I'm looking into getting this but I'm not to sure whether to wait a few months so I can afford the v6 trim or if I should just get the normal touring trim.
I have the manual, and this is by far the most enjoyable, affordable coupe I've had since the prelude. It's a great car with legit highway performance.
I'm ecstatic with my 2017 EX-L. Yes a head turner with moon-roof. adore the dual screens without the volume knob. Glorious car! This car has to be driven by large windows of buildings at night- that's how glorious it looks!
Yess girl you know what you're talking about these cars are amazing!
That J35 V6 will rip the rubber off the front tires. It's an absolute beast of a motor. It's a shame Honda stopped putting the V6 in the Accord.
Such a fun car.
The rear is one of the best looking I’ve seen, I put it Right beside some high end cars like Mercedes and Lexus.
Elemnt ikr
I fully agree!
Very attractive car. Probably the most beautiful Honda of all time.
No, thats TSX
@@jaymesp95 I very much disagree. The styling inside and out of this Accord is perfect.
Honda NSX 1994
since the NSX has been around, I strongly believe the Accord has secretly become the budget NSX. Both have punchy V6s along with a few other cars resembling the NSX with V6s like the Acura TL/TSX. But the Accord especially when the 6th gen coupe arrived having that almost wedge body shape despite being FF and tail lights distinctly similar to that of the 90s NSX. Even the newest Accord shares a similar tail light design to the newest NSX. What's more is that people who've driven the NSX, both old and new have compared it to an Accord, not a Civic.
It is definitely a top contender for that title
I had Honda Accord coup black 2011 until now only 1 owner.
No issues, very reliable, very fun to drive and perfect car for daily commute.
Damn you Honda for killing the coupe!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my 2017 EXL V-6 coupe!!! It does perform better than anyone would expect. And the sound system... very powerful!
I was lucky to get a low mileage 2014 Accord Coupe, and in my mind its the best deal in the auto industry for a sporty mid sized car. Too bad they killed it off.
A week ago today I picked up my EX-L V-6 with a MANUAL transmission. As you say, PROPS to Honda for keeping the manual transmissions available!!
Talk about a FUN and SOOOO comfortable ride...
I just got mine. Found a 2016 with only 2500 miles on it. I got a sweet deal on it, so I got the HFP add ons. Love it!
I just got a 2016 accord coupe...there really is no difference. The ONLY difference between the 16 and 17 is the "lane" thing. Who needs that? I'm good
1luving is that really the only difference?
Leo 47 it's in the same generation. nothing really changes just more technology bs you don't need

I currently drive 09' Honda Accord EXL coupe, but this is seriously going to be my second car that I purchase at the dealership in two years
Did you purchase it 😂
I just bought a V6 Touring . I love this car so much.
Currently own a 2017 EX-L V6 Coupe and I love it!! Sharp body, enough power that an M series BMW will get annoyed ;-)
I've got 44K miles on my 2013 V6 Coupe, it's a good car for the money.
It's a shame that the 2017's are the last Accord Coupes made. No more coupes going forward, which sucks.
So should I be happy I scored a 2016 V6 touring coupe with 28K miles today ???
@@cobrakainevereverdies6940 V6 is still a beast though. Although the new 2.0T Accords have plenty of torque and kick with 252 horsepower.
@@henrytruong2596 - Well here are my turnoffs - 1. I had a 64 gb USB Flash drive with TONS of data and music videos that played in my previous Pioneer theater system - The Honda radio said UNSUPPORTED and as a favor to me, it "corrupted the flash drive and all my files are LOST". 2. Am I tempted to take out the stupid Navigation "basic radio" that came stock and put my full theater from my Maxima in this and say "FORGET the lane assistance and safety sensors" ??? 3. It is a small car, can't lie....WHOEVER said "Sporty Family Car", F'nnnnnn quit it (grunt)
@@gmasterb - $25500 sub. 2017's have unattractive rims, but that's my observation. I got the sport touring coupe - it's cool.....even if I squish myself inside the car. V6 Hondas just cost kinda high, because they are more rare. Makes me wonder, if I should've gotten the Audi A7 ?
Just got my ‘17 grey on black exl v6 coupe. I’ve wanted a coupe for years but have had my 08 ridgeline since ‘13 and couldn’t afford a second car just yet. Now I could, but couldn’t find a v6 coupe MT...so hard to find with low miles. I was skeptical about the AT with paddle shifters, but it is FUN!! And yes it turns heads, eats up most cars on the road, and gets me into conversations with muscle car enthusiasts that really like this car.
This car is way more refined and smooth riding than any si or type r. I know because I own one. Great car. 0-60 in 5.4!
More like 5.6-5.7s unless modified. Still not over 6 seconds lol.
@@JustinDaniels Says who. 5.4 0-60 multiple times. Quicker than you think reliable and good on gas. Not a sports car. But fin and comfortable. Sounds amazing too!
@@JustinDanielsi get 5.1-5.3 consistently with 1/4 tank gas and brake launching
@@Slowccord auto or manual?
Just picked up a 2013 EX-L V6MT in San Marino red in cherry condition; needless to say, I’m a very happy man!
i know u are...i have a 2016 V6 6MT in SMR :)
I've heard the manual is phenomenal on this car. I test drove the automatic which is not a CVT and it was fantastic. When driving the car I though that this car hit the limitations of what a front wheel drive car can do. If one wanted a car faster than this, it would need to be AWD or Rear wheel. When I put my foot down there was tons of wheelspin at the front.
I'm currently scouring the earth for this car with the 6 speed. I WILL have one by this time next year
You get it?
Should've tested a manual. The manual has real vtec and is geared quicker. Basically a sleeper. The auto is more economy focused.
I got the 2017 EX-L v6 automatic with Honda sending and navigation just last month. My first car and needless to say, I love it.
Honda needs to AWD the V6 coupe.
it would make the car to heavy
D Fisher is
It front?
Nah it's good the way it is. If they did continue the v6, all it would need is a lsd on the front wheels and that would help traction
I have the 2016 coupe touring. LOVE IT
nice, any issues with it??
@@antoniocognato5023 I own a 2016 Coupe V6. No issues so far
@440centerline the guy answered your question I expect you to at least say thanks smh
@@mrsuperstarxv6006 really?? I get on here once a week. Get a life
My 2011 Accord V6 cope now has 300k miles!
RIP - buy one now - gone in 2017 - so SAD. I wish my 1984 Prelude was this good!
Gonna be switching from a prelude to one of these myself 👍👍
Buy the EX-L V6 manual version. It will be a very rare car to keep and enjoy.
The only down side for me is the FWD, I wish if they could have the option of a RWD,,
agreeed
I have a 2013 EX-L V6 auto and the auto gets better fuel economy and it's just as fast as the 6 MT. I prefer a manual, for fun, but I can get 35+ MPG on road trips. The power rating on these cars is less than what you actually get. The care is close to 300 HP. I added a cold air intake and you can get a full exhaust and flash ecu program that a tuner can tune with all of the modifications. These cars easily run 1/4 mile in 13 seconds with very minimal work and money. If it was AWD, it would be a very tough car to beat at any price.
I mean it should be rated at 290 or 295
Theres about half a second difference between the 6MT and the auto. 5.4ish vs over 6 seconds. Not quite just as fast
Mike Roche take out the spare tire in the back and it’s even 😂 jk
I have this it handles really nice and the side camera lets me drive with ease always in my lane and always know my surroundings it’s really assuring to drive in (decent speakers) probably the only thing I’d upgrade. Have a2007 4 runner before. Both handle great but this feels more eased on the road. No stress
I'm thinking about getting a Honda Accord over a scion Tc am i making the right decision ?
Epic Snoop Yes!!!!
Michael Parks Bet but now I have to wait a month or 2 to get it.
Epic Snoop Lease, finance, or purchasing?
Michael Parks financing
Epic Snoop in your name? if you dont mind me asking, how old are you and what is your credit score? (im 18 and want to finance one as well lol)
Nice review, but I'm confused...you say the 0-60 time is a 'little' over 6 sec. Yet, Car & Driver rated the 2013 EX-L automatic (which I have) at 5.5 sec for 0-60. Same engine, same HP. ???
I have the 2013 v6 coupe and it gets to 60 in mid 5's
I Absolutely Love My Honda Accord X-LE Coupe 2Dr.
Comes with All The Cool Eminites.
And It's Fast.
To Bad nobody past 2017 Can Buy This Particular Style anymore since Honda Stopped Making Them For 2018 & Going Forward.
Love My V-6 Honda Accord X-LE Coupe.
I thought it was 0-60 in 5.4
Close....5.6 sec
I have the 2014 Coupe V6 EX-l. I have a bad left leg, so I had to opt for the 6 speed automatic. BUT, with almost 300 hp, and the paddle shifters, my v6 accord is a screamer.
I know I hit 60 is less than 6 seconds, and your passing speeds are outrageous. I have about 11,000 miles on the car, and have beat it a bit. Regardless, there has not been one problem with the car..not one. Oh yes, there was a recall for a airbag problem, which Honda fixed immediately. The leather seats, every option you can imagine...it really has it all..and all for around 30 k for top of the line. I am very happy.
Get one while you can.Next gen Accord due in 2018 marches on without the 2 dr
white pearl 2014 I drove the life out of mine .. definitely a durable car and Big Bang for your buck ! I loved it I constantly got compliments.. will always miss her but now I'm in the Benz c class :))))))
Why is everyone saying the CVT sucks so bad?
Got an 8th gem coupe and it’s still great
Sameee i think im about to cross 150k on the odometer and it's still a thrill
I've never understood why they keep temperature info tucked away in the gauge display, when it could easily be placed in the bigger screen.
If the Accord sedan can keep the good parts of the coupe, it makes sense to discontinue it. But that's still an if.
I miss my 2014 Accord coupe I had the ex-l and everyone always though it was of the year , sad I had to get rid of it but im definitely getting another one a 2017 with hfp package
Dan, the US brands abandoned this segment eons ago, remember when those GM midsize RWD coupes ruled the US market? When they went away, tjhe pickup truck took its place.
There were so many great American coupes back in the day. People stopped buying them, sadly.
Dan, they could not buy them cause they stopped making them when the FWD craze hit the US market
pedro fernandez It's one of those chicken or the egg situations. Great topic for conversation, for sure. I might just have to chase this story … =)
This caused the sale of pickups to take off and in turn forced the OEM's to make them nicer and more user friendly and drive more like cars than ever before. I have written this in many automotive forums and many have called me dumb and don't know what the hell I'm saying, but I stick to that theory and will not change my mind. The death of the large rear drive American coupe, gave birth to the "civilized" pickup truck
+pedro fernandez I'll buy that it was a contributing factor. There's more profit in pickup, or so I've heard.
Where was that drive taken? Beautiful scenery....... Perfect backdrop for the Accord.
5:00 “I can fit!”
... takes up a seat and a half
i like to call the coupe "Honda Accord Sport"
The only thing I don't like is all the controls on the steering wheel, I'm a minimalist and having all those controls you can accidently turn the volume up on the stereo by accident and that could be a hazard in high traffic areas.
I just may buy this Honda Accord Coupe that is fully automatic with a sports-mode shifting feature.
My parents got me this car today for my 16th birthday
How to make /happy late birthday
+DAG Squad thanks
How to make happy belated birthday
Damn bruh are you white or rich? My parents gave me $150 for my car nigga 😂😂
Ant Keene Yeah, sure they did.
I like how these usually cost under $8,000 for a 2008-09 model atleast
With high milage.
my next car whenever my Scion is retired from service. Which will be a long time from now it seems. Damn run forever toyota's!
I love this guys reviews !
My 2016 Honda Civic EX deathtrap. If your Honda has an electronic/electric parking brake it might cause you to crash.
While driving my 2016 Honda Civic EX around 20 mph the electric parking brake engaged locking up and sliding the rear tires. The car was jerking. A light came on the dash saying 'computer error, have the parking brake serviced'. If I was traveling at a high speed and the electric parking brake locked the rear tires the car would go out of control and crash.
The car is unsafe to drive so I had it hauled to the Honda of Cleveland Tenn service department. They worked on the car and the service department manager said nothing they did addressed or corrected the electronic/electric parking brake malfunction. The car was returned to me on 7/23/2019 .
I ask the American Honda Motor Co., Inc for compensation,on 8/4/19 and on "08/09/19 they refused, saying the problem with the electric parking brake had been "repaired". Obviously not true. The brake problem has not been repaired and all these cars should be recalled. I'm sure they did not bother to look into the problem at all. The following is their reply:
"08/09/2019"
"Dear John
Thank you for the reply.
We have received the requested information and after further review of the diagnosis from Honda Cleveland the vehicle was repaired. We have looked into your request for compensation and we regret to inform you that American Honda Motor Co., Inc will not be in the position to provide the compensation requested.
Kind regards,

I doubt they even care.

In Canada the Touring V6 was available with a 6 speed manual too
Nice review, great work. Really enjoyed the vid!
Comparing a pony car (Mustang, Camaro) to a Honda Accord Coupe is like comparing a Thoroughbred stallion to a pack mule. Both have for legs and the similarities end there... The Mustang and Camaro were never meant to hold four adults as the back seat was there to appease the Insurance industry. They also are a heck of a lot more engaging and fun to drive!
Peter P. Which one of these cars do you own ?
I miss the accord coupe...
It really...really...blows that you can't get LED headlights on the 4 cylinder. I want the gas mileage of the 4 cylinder but with the LED headlights. I get 30 mpg in my car now and I'd hate to regret buying a V6 and losing almost 8 MPG. LED headlights and 22 MPG, or projector headlights and 28-32 MPG average? I hate this decision.
Looks like a reasonably priced coupe yet the review is a bit uninspiring? Maybe point the camera at the steering wheel if you're explaining the different control buttons on it. Nice guy doing the review.
Go for it !
It would be nice if Honda, kept up the turbo trend like in the Civic.Maybe something with a 1.6L Turbo for the Accord, giving more power than the I-4 and less than the V6. That would bring the car maybe 200HP, but with equal torque in the 240-250 range. CVT would be OK as long as it has sport mode. MPG wold increase considerably, especially in the HWY.
The V6 did well on the highway with cylinder deactivation, but I reckon that we'll see a turbo four in the Accord before long …
Great Review! Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words! =)
Why does the same car but in the sedan form gets better mpg? If anything you would think the lighter coupe would get better mpg?
Lame you didn't review the manual version. That's the whole point of the coupe version :p
Darksyne yeahhh, was hoping for that too...
Darksyne I have a 15 coupe v6 with automatic transmission.. It doesn't disappoint.. Especially with the mods I have done
Darksyne it’s hard to find
m turley how is it ? Is faster than Manuel
Man I wanted one of these ! But the dealer didn’t have any ... so I settled for a 2016 exlv6 sedan...
I love how people drool online for these cars, but run out and buy SUVs. Car companies make what you buy!
I have an ex-l navigation...Why did they quit making these???
Nissan 370z is also a coupe option or 350z
The Accord Touring model is a V6 and has a Sport Mode and paddle shifters. Don’t believe that the EX-L V6 does.
The EX-L which is a 4 cylinder car has a CVT option with paddle shifters and sport mode.
The 0-60 time that he quoted looks like it is for the 4 cylinder motor not the V6.
That MSRP looks like it is for the EX-L 4 cylinder not the EX-L V6.
Also the V6 Touring and EX-L V6 AT have cylinder deactivation. The V6 MT does not.
I was told incorrectly by the dealer. The EX-L V6 DOES have the paddles and the sport mode.
I am headed back to the showroom. The deals are too good to pass up. It looks like the EX-L V6 AT can be had for 29k out the door including tax, tags, fees, etc.
Heck of a buy for that money.
I have a 2020 Type R I would definitely buy this car, but I can’t pay for two cars. Especially both using premium gas because it’s a V6 and the Type R is a turbo. Lol. It’s fine, I’ll find an accord coupe with the inline 4. Won’t be as fast, but it’ll be fun!
The Accord doesn’t require premium gas.
I'm getting the 2017 EX-L v6 with navi and sensing 😎
How is the sheet metal does it dent easily? does it drive like an Acura?
Im not sure I would call 30k "affordable"
it's below the average price of a new car in the US, which is about 33k for 2016.
oldtwins That doesnt make it affordable.
broke
Lmao ur poor
Daniel Montanna No actually I am very blessed.
,wow u lost a lot of weight keep up the great work😃
I need facts from some Accord owners. I'm torn between the Accord I4 or the V6. I really want the V6 but I don't want to sacrifice gas mileage just for power. I want the V6 because of the LED Headlights. I currently drive a 99 Toyota Camry and my gas mileage estimates are 23/29. (I get really good gas mileage, in my opinion, and from my experience. My car is a 4 cylinder.) I realized if I get the Accord V6 I would still get better gas mileage than my current car, since the Accord V6 advertises 21/32, and sometimes 21/34. The only problem is, a friend of mine drives an accord 4 cylinder and she said she's actually getting Accord V6 mileage. She's averaging low 20s in the city and high 20s/low 30s on the highway. I'm sure this is because of how she drives and other conditions. I realize that if this is true and I buy a V6, there's a huge chance I will get even worse gas mileage. I don't want to buy the V6 and regret it. So, what mileage is everyone actually getting with their 4 cylinder Accords or V6 Accords?
Evan Doucet V6 Auto. It's smooth as glass. Don't even think twice about the I4.
AlphaLab Testing-Center how many miles are you getting to a tank in the V6?? that's really what's making me second guess the V6...the gas mileage
Evan Doucet I am an owner of a previous generation Accord Coupe EX-L V6. So I'm not familiar with the gas mileage on the current generation V6. I'm taking strictly about drive quality. Regardless of gas mileage, you will ultimately enjoy the acceleration and highway cruise speed of the 6 over the 4. When you punch it on the highway, it will just go and you won't hear the engine scream like 4cyls do. If you drive sensibly, you'll get 450 per tank hwy. Enjoy what ever choice you make...
AlphaLab Testing-Center 450 to a tank sounds great to me! I get about 450 in my current car, but it's a 4 cylinder Camry with an 18.5 gallon gas tank. So what that means to me is I can get a V6 and enjoy the ride and acceleration and not sacrifice gas mileage!!
Evan Doucet get the V6. Feels like your driving a Lexus.
Isn't the 0-60 mph 5.6 seconds? Thanks for the review
What about the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ? Or the Challenger?
Yuck dodge 🤢
great review!
This is almost identical to my 2013 accord coupe
The only thing that's different is the lane watch
michael aiello nope! Android Auto/Apple Car Play, different rims, LED fogs and taillights, auto dimming rear view mirror, front and back bumpers updated. Also lane watch was included in 13-15 model years. Had a 13 and have a 16 now. 😁
Why not 6 speed version for this video? "Props to Honda for keeping manuals"
Is a V6 w/ 6 speed MT offered with the Sedan ?
Good question. I would like a 4 door as you outlined.
I'm seeing MSRP of $31,275 which is much higher than stated at the end of the video. Where are we getting this number?
Your right Chris....the $28,995 price is for the 2.4 liter
Bought my V-6 for 30,000 OTD, tax, shipping, and financing a year ago today.
Beautiful car, but doesn’t this have the oil consumption problem?
I haven't noticed oil consumption in my 2017 V6 Accord Coupe with 125,000 miles.
First thing comes to mind when someone says coupe is 350z or a porsche
The MX-5, Fr-s/BRZ and yes the WRX is just the better choice for having fun but hey! They arent really that many...
How l wish I had this car 😊
nice car make it rwd honda
Where are you locate? I live in Watertown New York
Would this be a good first car?
Sohaib Qasim go with the 4 door sedan not 2 if its your first.
DAG Squad why do you think i should get the sedan?
Sohaib Qasim it has less twark if I spelled that right so its a little bit smoother and its more roomy so more confertible to drive.
DAG squad thanks for the advice, btw it's spelled "torque"
Sohaib Qasim /lol thanks
I want this car!
Yo that's MPGomatic!
I just got beat by one
He said it only had intake and exaust he was v6 Manual
I'm a 2014 v6 dead stock mustang
You have "No business" racing anyone,with a V6 Mustang!!!
@@mnoell35 LMAOOO
I would like to put those 18" wheels and tires on my EX-L sedan.
what about the genesis coupe?
I've noticed you mention all the higher end German cars except Mercedes Benz... Do I sense hate?
Not at all!
Isn't a direct competitor of this the Genesis? and I'm not sure why you would go for this instead of that
I was trying to decide between the Genesis and the Accord, and I chose the Accord specifically for the FWD. It snows too often in NY to get a RWD daily car. For me anyway.
Well, one is a Hundai, and the other is a Honda. There's that. The other is that some may prefer the looks of the Accord over the Genesis.
These are going to shoot up in Value when used if well taken care of... or at least hold their value anyways.. Especially the V6 coupes..
I just bought one for $5200 with only 123000 miles on it they are definitely not holding their value.
great video mr.Mpgomatic I don't like the rear end of the accord coupe reminds me of a old generation
it's to long of a coupe for me otherwise
DUH
It needs to be twin turbo charged to 400-500hp then it'll be awesome
