Haha I said this about the BMW 335d, bought it three years later used - you’ll buy what you thought wasn’t in your reach sooner than you think. Unfortunately no one tells you you shouldn’t meet your heroes. You’ll be disappointed and buy a Honda sport bike as well.
V6 engine and Accord Coupe are both gone, in terms of what's being manufactured today. However, the 2.0 Turbo Accord Sport 6MT is a worthy successor. It's a sedan, not a coupe, but it's still got Accord-level acceleration, handling, and manual transmission.
@@kiryukazuma2158 generally, a V6 of this nature making that amount of horsepower requires 93 (or 91) octane fuel to boost performance and keep down engine knock. For example, my 06 G35 6MT is capable of running 87, 89, or 91, but the engine was designed to make 296hp with 91 octane. Any less, and both fuel economy and performance drop noticeably in order to keep the engine running safely.
True, but you can still get a brand new Accord Sport sedan with a manual transmission, 252 horsepower, and 273 lb-ft of torque. It's a worthy successor. But yeah, no Accord Coupe anymore. ;_;

I have this exact car. 2016 V6 coupe 6MT. The best kept secret in the car world imo. Road and Track did an article saying this was a bona fide muscle car. Whether or not you believe that sentiment (I don’t think I do) this is a FANTASTIC car for an enthusiast that needs a reasonable daily.

It's a sleeper for sure, love my 04 coupe 6spd, 316k+ going strong, rear end looks terrific. hard to find manuals as they sold so many automatics Heated leather seats in the winter cozy bums
I have an '04 version of it (3.0L 240 HP) but even that goes like a bat out of hell when I heave on the accelerator. One thing though: it doesn't rev the same way as it would with a DOHC, it just doesn't. When I pre-rev the engine for switching back gears (usually into 2nd gear), then I have to do that half a second earlier in this Honda than when I did it with the DOHC four-banger in the Acura I test drove before I bought the Accord Coupe. That engine revved up authoritatively; this does it under duress, compared.
Try driving a 4th generation Acura TL with a 6MT. It's in a whole other league than the Accord. For most who can't find that unicorn, this V6 Accord is the next best thing!
just going to casually mention this, Honda doesn't do fleet sales. Typically you never see a Honda at a rental company. Not trying to say Honda doesn't have sedate rental car styling sometimes,tho this accord looks great.
Honda's doesn't do direct from factory fleet sales like Ford, but dealerships can make those sales on behalf of Honda. The other day, the dealership I work at just sold a small fleet of lx accords to some local business along with the local hertz rental car using civics and accords.

I actually got him to admit that people didn't know what it was and weren't willing to pay a $10K higher sticker over a standard Mazda 6. Not only did I get $8K off the sticker because I knew they were desperate to dump it and he knew it, I also traded him my 2005 RX-8 and got $15K in trade value for something that would likely end up being a non-functional hunk of steel and plastic bits in only a short matter of time (it had 32,000 miles on it and was already on engine #2). As much as that was a driver's car, a head turner, and fun as hell to drive, I knew mechanically it was shit. I eventually sold the Speed 6 after many years of joy when it just started getting too expensive to keep up (we are talking like European level maintenance and repair costs, as it had 100% Japanese parts in it, unlike any other Mazda which shared alot of parts with Ford). But that's a story for another day. But Mr. Regular's rendition of how a salesman would treat this absolute gem of a vehicle that is the Accord V6 Coupe 6MT was spot on, because I lived it in a similar scenario.

You're exactly right man, I have the 17 Si Coupe, 19 Type R, Evo X and a 15 Accord Coupe V6 but believe it or not i find myself genuinely enjoying the Accord more.

The funny thing was that these underrated 278hp manual Honda Accords embarrassed every single four cylinder high-school dropout Ford Focus STs, vw golf gtis, Mazda mazda3 mazdaspeeds, Hyundai Veloster turbos, Dodge Neons, and Honda Civic Si's that got feisty at every stoplight intersection
Also G35 sedans and coupe and 350z, You need the 3.7 to pass one of these. Challenger SXT, Camaro RS, BMW 545i & 328i, Mercedes C350 and even Jaguar XE 35t Supercharged see the Accords taillights on a roll. Few 4 Cylinder cars can keep up besides the Type R and Golf R.
Hey I'm a fan of the V6 Accords too but let's be real here. The only thing the car is good at is going straight a LITTLE bit faster than all the other cars u mentioned. Half of the cars u mentioned with basic bolt ons and a solid tune would take the Accord. And in the canyons, the accord is a boat that will get left around the corners. Not to mention its aftermarket part availability isn't as big. Let's appreciate the Accord V6 for what it is and not compared it to lightweight, better handling, more tuner friendly 4 cylinders.
22 mpg city/35 highway is a bit optimistic for this powertrain combo. Honda rated the 2016 models with the V6/Automatic transmission at 21/34. The manual transmission combo is most likely rated lower than that. They backed it all the way down to 18/28 for 2017 V6/6MT models. These get 30 mpg highway at best in most cases.
@@97I30T that's Pittsburgh driving if you don't drive 5 under. There's hills on top of hills here. Lol. My 5.3 Impala got 7. Just checked my dash. Apparently my last average was 16mpg. I'll take it.
I pulled the coupler from the dirty side of the intake for a little freer air flow and I get 24 city 31 highway if I short shift and drive conservatively. 18/24 if I’m hooning a little bit. That’s in Mesa, AZ
One of my best friends was inspired by this video; he searched for a good long time, but he found a well-cared-for mid-mileage 2013 6MT about a year ago and it's been his daily ever since. Smooth, ridiculously fast, comfortable, decent mileage, a blast to drive, and no one looks at it twice.
Back in 2006 and 2007 if you got the honda accord in sedan form and the EX trim level with the V6 it came with a 6 speed manual transmission which made the accord sedan a sporty sleeper
I have one of those V6/6 speed sedans, It's fantastic. You blend in to traffic. No one expects it to be anything special. It's smooth, comfortable, and quick. Obviously it's no sports car, but it's a 15 year old Honda. The only gripes I'd have are the weak stereo and a vague clutch pedal- and it's needed some major work here and there. Worth it.
Bought this car twice technically. All because of this video. Graduated highschool and bought the 8th gen base model coupe with the five speed then 4 years later I traded it in for the last model of the coupes made. The 2017 exl in dark blue with the v6 and 6 speed. Absolutely my favorite car I've ever owned other than my last accord lol
I had a blue 2002 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.2, i loved that car. The tranny was rebuilt 2 times in 2 years and that was what made me get rid of it... i still miss that thing so much.
About six months ago, I had decided to look for a newer Accord V6 6MT coupe. I quickly realized they just don't exist within the market, no one is selling them. It doesn't matter even if I had the cash in hand, instead of simply looking for what's out there as a goof. It was at that moment that I decided that my 2007 Honda Accord V6 6MT coupe will just have to get more love from me.
Reminded me of the altima SE-R back in 06 .. strong V6 , manual transmission and light weight .. that thing was a huge surprise to drive and way more fun than crappy CVTs of today ..
Eternal1 I never played Forza, but I found older Forza on TH-cam which has a Honda Accord coupe. I think it would be more fitting in Forza. But when I heard a sound of this car it clicked for me NFS U2.
@@stevangucu522 What!? You happen to know which Forza it was? I think the Accord was on an old Grand Turismo game. And yea your definitely right about the V6 coupe having qualities fitting for the Underground series. Hope they bring that back. Miss playing NFSU1, U2, and Carbon
There's a good reason the J-series is still around. It's economical for what it is, the higher tier variants have explosive top end power, it's pretty simple and VERY reliable. And they sound great too (my almost 20 year old J32A2 sounds pretty much the same as the J35 in this video). If only Honda automatic transmissions were as good.
@pochoun33137 I'm not sure about the newer engines, but the J32A2 definitely has variable timing just on the intake side. As for the Hondamatic tranny, it' a lovely box in its operation. But it's not reliable) mine just let go after 50000 kilometers. I do drive aggressively, yeah, but I did a partial fluid change every 10-15 thousand k's, used only DW-1 fluid, changed the filter, and it still broke. I even had an oil cooler installed, but that didn't help. I'll be using Motul Multi ATF in my next transmission, installing some new pressure switches, and avoiding 4-2 downshifts in automatic mode to keep the box intact for at least some time.
You will never get the V6 model, unless you import it. Europe has stricter regulations, even tho VW never paid a dime in Europe in diesel gate scandal.
THIS video convinced me to pull the trigger on buying one. I’ve had my 2015- 6MT for 2.5 years now, put almost 40K miles on it and have loved every bit, with no plans on stopping any time soon.
Lol this is by far the funniest car review video I’ve ever seen! It’s actually accurate as well... I own a 2016 ex-L coupe v6 manual and it drives similar to my old g35 coupe but is smoother in my opinion. Underrated power, best clutch I have ever owned and looking forward to keeping it naturally aspirated with moderate mods. Thanks for the content
Exotics aside, When u get older, tastes change. you start to appreciate low key (almost invisible to cops and teens) cars with respectable performance that can easily be upgraded with mild mods to make it a real sleeper - if that's your thing. Or you can be "that guy"..u know, the 30+ y/o with R badges, wings, and loud exhaust STILL trying to "live life one quarter mile at a time". The need for speed never changes, but as u get older it becomes more n more apparent that blending in (for a daily) is ALWAYS better.
I plan on keeping mine for life (i.e. Built, tuned J35 HFP Coupe) Even in OEM form, the J35 is a monster V6 with V8 performance. Out performs all, if not most, DOHC V6's, which says something about Honda's SOHC J's, which have been around for a long time.
Mr. Regular I got a 2011 V6 automatic coupe a few months ago as a first car, and they are simply beautiful to drive. Even the Auto transmission still lets you rev it to hell and back and the paddle shifters are there if you want to use them. As you said its a very comfortable and logical car that can be treated as a commuter or a sports car, its quite a fun ride. Best part is my dad thinks its a normal Honda in great shape which is what sold him on it. :)
if my mazda6 signature was able to be ordered with a manual transmission & not just the base model, my life would have been complete.. still went with the 6 due to the gorgeous interior & the immense torque (310lb/ft... 2018 accord 2.0t was ~265lb'ft and it was a noticeable difference).. it drives like a v8. unique for a turbo 4

We never have hondas in canada rental agencies, all toyotas nissan and

Maybe in Uber or Lyft fleet but not in rental. Honda don't like to sell to rental fleet.
Work at a Honda dealership, and it's always a treat whenever we get one of these in. Always makes me wish I had a bigger garage and a larger wallet
Like i work in one myself and whenever we have one at the dealership, it's sometimes used to help teach porters how to drive stick.
That and a fit
How does it compare to the new 2.0T?

You're exactly right man, I have the 17 Si Coupe, 19 Type R, Evo X and a 15 Accord Coupe V6 but believe it or not i find myself genuinely enjoying the Accord more.

Its a joke about how Roman's intro and outro were from a show called Evangelion, and the in one of the series the titles were:
Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
Also, I recommend anyone to watch it, as it will make you question life and have an existential crisis for days.
It looks like a boring mom car

That intro spoke to me profoundly. Thanks for introducing me to e621 Mr. Regular, of course I searched in incognito.

The funny thing was that these underrated 278hp manual Honda Accords embarrassed every single four cylinder high-school dropout Ford Focus STs, vw golf gtis, Mazda mazda3 mazdaspeeds, Hyundai Veloster turbos, Dodge Neons, and Honda Civic Si's that got feisty at every stoplight intersection
Not to mention could scare the Infiniti G coupe as well.
Also G35 sedans and coupe and 350z, You need the 3.7 to pass one of these.
Challenger SXT, Camaro RS, BMW 545i & 328i, Mercedes C350 and even Jaguar XE 35t Supercharged see the Accords taillights on a roll.
Few 4 Cylinder cars can keep up besides the Type R and Golf R.
Dreamy why you calling me high school dropout nigga wanna fuckin fight?
Silver Justice lol same I kinda got triggered but then I laughed 🤣💀
Hey I'm a fan of the V6 Accords too but let's be real here. The only thing the car is good at is going straight a LITTLE bit faster than all the other cars u mentioned. Half of the cars u mentioned with basic bolt ons and a solid tune would take the Accord. And in the canyons, the accord is a boat that will get left around the corners. Not to mention its aftermarket part availability isn't as big. Let's appreciate the Accord V6 for what it is and not compared it to lightweight, better handling, more tuner friendly 4 cylinders.
>e621Oh man, Mr. Regular knows. HE KNOWS.
Legit dropped a like just because of that lmao
Lmao, at 3:58 "this is where the honda magic comes in, its *ad plays* OH OH O'REILY AUTOPARTS"
The timing couldn't have been better
22 mpg city/35 highway is a bit optimistic for this powertrain combo. Honda rated the 2016 models with the V6/Automatic transmission at 21/34. The manual transmission combo is most likely rated lower than that. They backed it all the way down to 18/28 for 2017 V6/6MT models. These get 30 mpg highway at best in most cases.
In Western PA I get 11 city 26 highway because everything is on some kind of grade here. It's slightly better than a V8.
@@WavveBoi Ooof. 11 city is pretty rough!
@@97I30T that's Pittsburgh driving if you don't drive 5 under. There's hills on top of hills here. Lol. My 5.3 Impala got 7.
Just checked my dash. Apparently my last average was 16mpg. I'll take it.
my 2008 accord v6 6mt is rated 17 city 25 highway. I average 24 with mixed and 30 on the highway.
I pulled the coupler from the dirty side of the intake for a little freer air flow and I get 24 city 31 highway if I short shift and drive conservatively. 18/24 if I’m hooning a little bit. That’s in Mesa, AZ
My parents have a 2015 that they got in 2016. They got lucky, as it was cheap since no one wanted it. I love driving it.
Thank you for making me feel good about being 31 and single while driving a 3-door
RCR single handedly rising the accords estimated value after just one video
One of my best friends was inspired by this video; he searched for a good long time, but he found a well-cared-for mid-mileage 2013 6MT about a year ago and it's been his daily ever since. Smooth, ridiculously fast, comfortable, decent mileage, a blast to drive, and no one looks at it twice.
Lol if you think these are really selling for 10k! 18k-20k is more realistic.
AJ Lee yeah where the fuck did he get that number
My 2011 HFP edition (200 made) 6MT with 46,000 miles was $14,000.
faux that's not the same car as the one in the video at all, they totally updated the vehicle in between those model years
I got one for $12,000
I'd hop on it instantly for that price.
Probably my favorite video from you guys. The sheer amount of happiness in Mr. Regular's face brightens my day.
I’ve had mine for 4 years and I still come back and watch this vid every once in a while
Why you gotta do cruels angel thesis.... I DON'T WANNA THINK OF EXISTENTIAL PAIN TODAY
I wish they didn't discontinue the Accord coupe
No more v6 too
If the new gen had an accord coupe I feel like it would take away sales from the si civic easy and come between the type r
Back in 2006 and 2007 if you got the honda accord in sedan form and the EX trim level with the V6 it came with a 6 speed manual transmission which made the accord sedan a sporty sleeper
I have one of those V6/6 speed sedans, It's fantastic. You blend in to traffic. No one expects it to be anything special. It's smooth, comfortable, and quick. Obviously it's no sports car, but it's a 15 year old Honda. The only gripes I'd have are the weak stereo and a vague clutch pedal- and it's needed some major work here and there. Worth it.

Angel the Reshiram i can tell by your busty pfp
Bought this car twice technically. All because of this video. Graduated highschool and bought the 8th gen base model coupe with the five speed then 4 years later I traded it in for the last model of the coupes made. The 2017 exl in dark blue with the v6 and 6 speed. Absolutely my favorite car I've ever owned other than my last accord lol
I bought a 2004 Acura TL 3.2 with a 6 speed manual, I freaking love it
2006 owner aswell. Such a great car!
@@PabloLopez-gu6lj I plan to get the A-Spec body kit for it in the future!
I just saved enough to swap the 3.2 in my 2001 accord. Bought it from the neighbor for 800 a few months ago. Forget the k swap lol.
mrsquishyboots that’s awesome
I had a blue 2002 Acura TL Type-S with the 3.2, i loved that car. The tranny was rebuilt 2 times in 2 years and that was what made me get rid of it... i still miss that thing so much.
This is in my humble opinion the most accurate, well said, relatable, and best rcr video in a long time
About six months ago, I had decided to look for a newer Accord V6 6MT coupe. I quickly realized they just don't exist within the market, no one is selling them. It doesn't matter even if I had the cash in hand, instead of simply looking for what's out there as a goof. It was at that moment that I decided that my 2007 Honda Accord V6 6MT coupe will just have to get more love from me.
Noooooooo why did you make this video I’ve been scoping these out ... now their gonna cost more
Same...😑
He really just did A cruel angel's thesis
these Accords are an underrated gem
Reminded me of the altima SE-R back in 06 .. strong V6 , manual transmission and light weight .. that thing was a huge surprise to drive and way more fun than crappy CVTs of today ..
Yes! I will very likely never sell my 6MT TL; just keep it with me until it dies LOL

Id like to see Mr Regular review a Mustang II. I'd pay good money to see that.

1974 - 1978 Mustang II?! No he didn't.
This video unironically inspired me to buy one of these. I got my 2015 a few days ago and I love it!

If they make new Need for Speed Underground I would like to see this car.

Forza horizon?
Yea that be great but also I'd love to see the Accord coupe in Forza Motorsport/Horizon.
Eternal1 I never played Forza, but I found older Forza on TH-cam which has a Honda Accord coupe. I think it would be more fitting in Forza. But when I heard a sound of this car it clicked for me NFS U2.
@@stevangucu522 What!? You happen to know which Forza it was? I think the Accord was on an old Grand Turismo game. And yea your definitely right about the V6 coupe having qualities fitting for the Underground series. Hope they bring that back. Miss playing NFSU1, U2, and Carbon
0:19 I had to look up the Evangelion opening to make sure i was hearing that right
Awesome video, these things are a blast to drive. Also Honda doesn’t sell to rental car fleets to avoid bringing the resale value down.
e621, I bet he figured nobody caught that, I see you dude 😉
Quite a few people caught it actually. Even I did because it's true, he described my future in less then 5 more years.
2009 white Accord coupe was my first ever car, 8 years later I still drive and love the thing, creeping up on 300,000km
There's a good reason the J-series is still around. It's economical for what it is, the higher tier variants have explosive top end power, it's pretty simple and VERY reliable. And they sound great too (my almost 20 year old J32A2 sounds pretty much the same as the J35 in this video). If only Honda automatic transmissions were as good.
@pochoun33137 I'm not sure about the newer engines, but the J32A2 definitely has variable timing just on the intake side. As for the Hondamatic tranny, it' a lovely box in its operation. But it's not reliable) mine just let go after 50000 kilometers. I do drive aggressively, yeah, but I did a partial fluid change every 10-15 thousand k's, used only DW-1 fluid, changed the filter, and it still broke. I even had an oil cooler installed, but that didn't help. I'll be using Motul Multi ATF in my next transmission, installing some new pressure switches, and avoiding 4-2 downshifts in automatic mode to keep the box intact for at least some time.

This is a mechanical LSD away from perfection.
THIS video convinced me to pull the trigger on buying one. I’ve had my 2015- 6MT for 2.5 years now, put almost 40K miles on it and have loved every bit, with no plans on stopping any time soon.
And now I'm readin yur shit and I'm totally goin to buy one tomorrow in Pennsylvania thanks bro roll on
Lol this is by far the funniest car review video I’ve ever seen! It’s actually accurate as well... I own a 2016 ex-L coupe v6 manual and it drives similar to my old g35 coupe but is smoother in my opinion. Underrated power, best clutch I have ever owned and looking forward to keeping it naturally aspirated with moderate mods. Thanks for the content
Man, the 8th and 9th gen 6mt are amazing cars!! been driving my 08 for a year now . Great video !
My 08 accord has been dogged since day 1 I got it. Still fuckin trucks on like nothings wrong
America didn’t get the Type-R goodness in the 90s and in 2019, there’s no 6MT accord that’s a coupe in Japan. Why?
emission regulation is different. It's like in Europe they have bmw 318 and etc but in the US the standard is now 330.
Ash DYNA is the us BMW 330i a 2.0L? If so why not just badge it as a 320i like the rest of the world?
The Integra Type R was sold in the US
Callum Pearce now in Europe 330 is 2.0 too. Since turbo.
Sadly -and strangely - never sold here in AU...and we love Accords over here.
J series: Where single overhead cam and timing belts still exists in 2019.
The older I get, the more I like these cars
Cheaper Insurance?
Exotics aside, When u get older, tastes change. you start to appreciate low key (almost invisible to cops and teens) cars with respectable performance that can easily be upgraded with mild mods to make it a real sleeper - if that's your thing.
Or you can be "that guy"..u know, the 30+ y/o with R badges, wings, and loud exhaust STILL trying to "live life one quarter mile at a time". The need for speed never changes, but as u get older it becomes more n more apparent that blending in (for a daily) is ALWAYS better.

Mr. Regular I got a 2011 V6 automatic coupe a few months ago as a first car, and they are simply beautiful to drive. Even the Auto transmission still lets you rev it to hell and back and the paddle shifters are there if you want to use them. As you said its a very comfortable and logical car that can be treated as a commuter or a sports car, its quite a fun ride. Best part is my dad thinks its a normal Honda in great shape which is what sold him on it. :)
if my mazda6 signature was able to be ordered with a manual transmission & not just the base model, my life would have been complete.. still went with the 6 due to the gorgeous interior & the immense torque (310lb/ft... 2018 accord 2.0t was ~265lb'ft and it was a noticeable difference).. it drives like a v8. unique for a turbo 4
Mazda 6 owner here, Accord 2.0T fucking smokes the Mazda
this is the best intro i've ever heard in my entire life and I relate to it on a spiritual level

Honda refuses to sell fleet vehicles. So you’ll never see them for rental. It’s smart, it helps to keep the resell values high
