Can't wait to graduate high school, then college, then work, then be able to afford this car used on Craigslist
Lucas Echenique after you pay off your loans
these things are stupid rare, esp for 9th gen Accords
and when they do on sale the sellers usually overprice them
dont go collage go trade school its more bang to the buck
@@ShaiyanHossain The overpricing of Accord Coupes is only going to get worse in the future now that Honda no longer makes Accord coupes anymore.
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.
We must protect the manual V6 Accord.
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.
Pikminiman yeaaahhh but........ I like the v6 coupe better
Too late.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand its gone
It's dead, Jim.
"$10,000 in okay condition" Boy I wish that were the case these days
2016 accord v6 manual would go for 20k or higher nowadays :(
was literally thinking the same
@@blur3253 😭 wym they’re going for almost msrp still
$25000 here in the "great" white north 😪
i wouldnt let my '15 go for less than 25k. got a short video on my profile doing a light 0-60 in it.
“Do you have to put 91 in this?”
“No, 87”
“DAAAMMNNN” lol
I never put 87 in mine..89 is better for me
@@oochiewally2783 same lol 89 is the way to go
@@oochiewally2783 and the car pulls better and it feels that the fuel last longer. I own 2014 Accord v6 mt
i dont understand the joke...could someone explain it to me?
@@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.
oh man, romans been on an evangelion netflix binge too.
Big facts. 😎
Get in the Accord, Shinji!!
Yeah I been on dat free online binge before my exams
Too bad they never added take me to the moon song
congratulations

Fuck the Icing, This is the whole damn cake.
“This is a v6 that doesn’t sound like crap.”

Buddy, have you heard a straight pipe/borla exhaust on a 2000-2005 Grand am V6? Try my man
I think Alfa Romeo makes the best sounding v6 imo.
@@ripbozolol1 and the least reliable ones
@@jeffsafawi7947 they ain't very expensive to buy so there must be another price to pay
@@GK5_ also with a cam they sound gnarly
The 6MT is basically a Honda Prelude ins a very nice suit
More like a reborn reliable '89 Taurus SHO with two fewer doors :D
Minus the 4ws
Minus the H series.
The V6-6 speed accord was made to replace the prelude as Honda's new sport coupe
Except the Preludes handle a lot more nicely, not too mention they're lighter.
It's unfortunate that V6 Accords and Accord coupes have been discontinued : ( They were so smooth and sporty
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. ;_;
Gunna drive my 8th gen v6 man trans coupe til death, either mine or the car.
Honestly, I much prefer the last gen styling to the most recent one anyway.
Ace331FTW totally agree, the front grill and back lights are better looking
Pikminiman not a worthy successor when it’s making less power all around.
I've been planning on stealthily picking this up after college but noooo now you've single handedly made them *appreciate* in value
Just get a G37 lol
@@philspaghet G37s sound like shit though
Lmao
He referenced them a while back in a video in a black and white text screen that flashed for a second :)
PoIapopo They were extremely mass produced cars why would they appreciate?
the week I was shopping for mine.. I saw 3. 2 got sold before I even reached the dealership and the third I drove 2 hrs to a Toyota dealership and dropped a deposit on it to hold it for me.. picked it up a week later under market price. win!!!!
This is the car that your buddy buys and you say, “dude, really?” He then says, “trust me” and then you get in... and see it... THE 6MT...
You just single handedly exposed me during that intro part, mah dude
It strikes deep
I felt like he was reading the intro to my love life biography
I had to hit pause and walk it off, that hit hard.
I swear, I could hear an artillery shell strike my driveway. That was too close!
Oof same my dude
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 get Honda civics all the time from Zipcar
Nissan Altima: Am I a joke to you?
The jimmy johns I used to work at gave regional managers fleet civics.
Zachary F. ... Whoaa!!
His piece about finding one of these on a used car lot reminded me of the best deal I ever got on a car. It was a new-old-stock 2007 Mazdaspeed 6 still on the new car lot well into 2008, which ONLY came with a manual transmission (which is awesome). The salesman started with the whole "this car is special" schpeel... obviously trying to prime me up to pay top dollar for it. My response was "yes, so special and so specific that in a year and a half, the right person still hasn't come along and bought it". 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. While this Accord and the Speed 6 are two entirely different vehicles, they share that common thread that most people don't know they are special. But those who know, KNOW. I actually enjoyed that "sleeper" quality in my Speed 6. And when I took it to an All Japan car show, all the rice boys with their suped-up Evos and STIs barely batted an eye. But the Mazda race team that was there...they knew, and they appreciated it. I also kept it bone stock. The kid who bought it off me said mine was the only bone stock example he could find in the Northeast...and I believe him.
Didn't know japanese car parts were expensive! So Toyotas used to be expensive to fix when they were made in Japan?
Hopefully, you're keeping oil in this one.😂
FINALLY, somebody GETS it!
I've always got the biggest eye-rolls whenever I mentioned these to car guys - let's hope this enlightens them a little~
That's because they drive meh, and look meh. That engine in a TL type S awd is a different story tho
@@goclunker they didn't make a type s with awd, unless you mean the SH-awd
@@goclunker Its because you can't drive
@@Juice-tr8xi Salty.
@@goclunker look meh? Opinion. Drive meh? Compared to a Cayman, I guess. It's a pretty remarkable car, especially compared to similar cars (Altima coupe, Eclipse)
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. And the J35 platform is pretty reasonably tunable if you do your research. 10/10 would recommend.
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!
I have an 05 coupe 6mt with the hfp kit 💦
Can you still find them ?
Honda needs to bring back the Accord Coupe!
Or bring the Prelude back!
Sadly they won’t. Coupes just don’t sell anymore. That’s the reason why they discontinued them.
Accord *_CrossCoupe_* active lifestyle CUV
Aperture no
ItG Ma the accord coupe had no competition. When it did, it outsold them. Honda could’ve kept making it, they chose to kill it and low sales were part of it. But compared to other coupe offerings, it sold pretty well.
The Accord coupe is pretty much a Prelude. I don't see why they need a new lineup when they could bring back the coupe variant of the Accord.
I had a 2013 accord 6MT. Best car I’ve ever owned. Reliable, quick, fun, and hot excellent gas mileage. It made me sick when a Toyota hit me on the interstate.
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.
“For that nice smooth ‘I didn’t sin’ feeling as I crawl into my single comforter”..........how does this man know all of us so well...

Do you have to put 91 in this?
No, 87.
Daaaaamn!
Low compression
No Thanks ethanol is pretty much in all gas now days, but yeah I’m sure it makes more power on 91.

Nice.
Benjamin Burkhardt The sport trim of the Accord gives you the manual option.
Even better with a KN short RAM intake!

@@aDistantLight maybe if you don't know how to use nitrous.
278 bhp from a naturally aspirated V6? Nice.
MylesHSG 2006-2012 4G GT Mitsubishi Eclipse has 263hp
278bhp from a v6 is nothing special. The 2GR from toyota has always had 300bhp
hyundai genesis coupe - 274 bhp from a 2.0 turbo, or 348 bhp from the N/A 3.8 v6. i owned the 2.0T. if you want cheap power, the genesis is a better deal.
n i c e
My J32A2 made way back in 2001 or 2002 is making 300 horsepower and change, so 278 is actually a bit underwhelming. Although I here you can unlock some extra power on these engines with a few bolt-ons.
Just recently got a 2004 6MT and even though it's got 170,000 miles it still feels like a blast to drive. It's also the car that I've learned manual on and I gotta say, it's been a pretty great teacher.
Probably my favorite video from you guys. The sheer amount of happiness in Mr. Regular's face brightens my day.
Manual Honda might just outlast the majority of our marriages. 😩

Accord 6MT: (Not) a boring car.
@Captain Caveman
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
@Captain Caveman thinking fwd is boring, that's the real thing that's boring
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.
@@TheSpaceCowboy454 cool
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.
Honda doesn't do fleet sales, Mr. Regular.

OK Mr. Regular I had like 17 e621 tabs open and I drive an Accord coupe so I didn't appreciate being so attacked by the first 20 seconds of this video :(
It's odd, he speaks about the cars often with people you will never meet. Yet with this car it's whoever reading this comment in a poorly lit room.
its okay I had 9 tabs open, but I dont drive a stinky accord coupe >:)

@@BallistaTheDeer he certainly is cultured
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
This video unironically inspired me to buy one of these. I got my 2015 a few days ago and I love it!
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.
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?
@@referenceplz5547 the 2.0t with a 6mt is pretty good and can make decent power with breather mods and tune.
But that's based on what your looking for
That intro spoke to me profoundly. Thanks for introducing me to e621 Mr. Regular, of course I searched in incognito.
_haha_
Watching this review last year made me go out and buy one of these. A year on I love it. Thanks RCR!!
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.
Honda Accord coupe = Underated
It's always being like that. With Si or Type R performance in a rare Accord variant
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. Mines automatic though so I used it almost in a daily basis. Im so fulfilled with its V6 responsiveness linear acceleration, I dont get that joy from my turbo cars.

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
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.
After 4+ years of RCR, I think we finally found Mr. Regular's favorite car.
Just checked. The asking price of a good condition low mile 2016 6MT is $23,000
I’ve had mine for 4 years and I still come back and watch this vid every once in a while
RCR single handedly rising the accords estimated value after just one video
RCR and Netflix didn’t put fly me to the moon?
You Can (NOT) Do This To Me
I was a little afraid when I saw this video and thought: "this guy's gonna crap all over my favorite attainable car". But then I remembered that, he actually likes good cars and only makes savage fun of the real garbage. This here is the last vestige of what Honda used to be as a car builder. I would buy this car with 200k miles on it as long as the seats weren't all torn up and it still had some paint left. They don't make them like this anymore and that is a sadder thought than seeing someone return a beautiful shelter dog to the shelter. Anyone with half a brain would jump at the chance to own a proper machine like this. There aren't enough hours in the day to heap praise on this car and others like it. At least we can share in the memories of Honda in their final truly great days...
I bought an 09 with 300k and it runs like a dream.
It’s good to see you having genuine fun
Noooooooo why did you make this video I’ve been scoping these out ... now their gonna cost more
Same...😑
This is in my humble opinion the most accurate, well said, relatable, and best rcr video in a long time
this is the best intro i've ever heard in my entire life and I relate to it on a spiritual level
I drive an 05 Acura TL 6MT and I'm drooling over this
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
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.
i spent a good half a year tracking down a 2017 coupe manual but finally grabbed one last year and i love this car. doesn't feel as racy as my old '97 Integra but it's excellent for all the highway driving i do these days. car is handsome as hell and drives great.

Angel the Reshiram i can tell by your busty pfp
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
Sadly -and strangely - never sold here in AU...and we love Accords over here.
Lmfaoooo the evangelion referece in the intro is hilarious

these Accords are an underrated gem
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. :)
I've never seen any Honda at a rental fleet.
Note that he said *premium* airport rental. xD
Honda doesn’t fleet there cars out, I know this because I sell them lolol
Yeah i was irked when he said that. Honda doesnt do fleet sales
I have
This is a mechanical LSD away from perfection.
I love the way you explain car culture...”when a car feature comes to synonymous with the car itself”...yes
Bought one in large part because of this video. I've had it for 7 months now and I love it.
J series: Where single overhead cam and timing belts still exists in 2019.
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.
I discovered this channel tonight and this dude's rants are epic.
That eve reference has won me over. You like cars, you know Eva, and you are funny af. Win.
I literally was just looking for the one other person who noticed it 🤣🤣
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.
Saw Jay Leno had uploaded and was waiting for your upload and here it is ;-)
"We're waiting for the right kind of customer" SO SSSSSO True.
By far the best review I have ever seen!! Oh the car is great too!!
If they make new Need for Speed Underground I would like to see this car.
For real, if they put a random ass Chevy Cobalt in Most wanted they have to put this
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
Just the fact you know about e621 makes you my favorite channel...but then again, who doesn't?
And he just described me in the future as well... Well I been knowing e621 since I was 12. 10 years anniversary coming soon!
I don't. But this is RCR, not sure if I want to know.
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
Nice review. I have a 2012 6mt and wanted to see what's changed. If I had owned this car when I was young, I would have had difficulty driving it responsibly. I think 2016 is the last year for the coupe. Such a lovely car. Hope they bring it back.
2017 is last year for this configuration
that voice went from fancy man telling you your options to "I DON KNOW WHY THIS PURSE IS IN HerE my WIFES been driving the carhh"
It was a Mr. Plinkett cameo.
Id like to see Mr Regular review a Mustang II. I'd pay good money to see that.
He has
1974 - 1978 Mustang II?! No he didn't.
