- We review the new 2019 Honda Accord Sport with a 6 Speed manual. One of the most requested cars is finally here thanks to a viewer Misha. His car was subjected to our tests to determine the good and bad. Hopefully, this helps viewers decide on which car to shop for in the future. Honda is one of the very few companies still offering manual transmissions in mainstream cars so this is a welcome option for many who love driving. But, what would you choose? Subaru, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata or Mazda6?

Hello everyone - I'm Misha, the owner of this Accord. There are many questions in the comments why I went with another Honda product. I have owned Honda and Acura products for a very long time. I've also introduced many friends and members of my family to Honda/Acura family of cars and SUVs. I've owned everything from 1994 Accord to 2003 CL Type S 6MT to the latest from Acura and Honda. I did look outside of Honda line of cars when I started shopping and everything in this price range was a massive let down. My car before the lemon TLX was a 2016 Accord Sport 2.4L 6MT. Best car I ever owned, hands down. I made a huge mistake and traded it for the TLX because I wanted a V6 and SH-AWD. Car turned out to be garbage. I lost a lot of time, money and nerves with that car. I will always miss that 2016 Accord. I wasn't going to leave Honda family because of one bad apple. I wanted to give Honda another chance and bought another Accord. So far this car has been great and I love driving it every day. PS. Thanks Mark and Jack for letting me hang out with you guys during filming!
It looks great Misha. I can understand why you like it.
@@djudjo625 Pozdrav :)
Hey Misha! I am very sad to hear that you experienced issues with your TLX, but I am glad you like your new Accord!
Very sensible !
Why was the Acura TLX a lemon? I am curious what were some of the major problems with it? Thanks!
I just got my first manual transmission car at 30 years old. I never learned how to drive one growing up.
I bought a Hyundai Veloster N. I find myself leaving for work early so I can drive the back roads and have a little fun. This is the first time I've ever really enjoyed driving.
Great car, just treat the gearbox right :D
I felt the same way when I got my first manual car.
Man that is a fun car I’m also looking to get a Veloster N
Yeah hopefully it doesn’t take me too long to learn manual
Ayeeee. We all do the same thing to and from work sometimes 😎
Good choice on the N!
I own a 20 year old Accord, it's the most reliable car I've had to date and it is insanely simple to work on.
I had a dark green 4 door manual ex 97 model. It was my first manual. My mother taught me how to drive it.
Recently picked up a 1993 prelude rust free all originals 122k miles seeing as im 26 I feel more connected to the car like I owe it more time and love
Most cars were easy to work on 20 years ago. Honda was nothing unique.
@@johnason1398 Every worked on a Nissan? Hated those with a passion
yeah same, '04 accord coupe v6 6spd manual, best car hands down, 315k+ going strong
I think it’s worth noting the aftermarket support is decent. Most of the cons are easily fixed. For less than $1000 you can add all of the acuity shifter mods (short shift adapter, aluminum bushings, rocker) eibach springs and swaybar. Then you have your tight handling car with very nice shifter feel.
You shouldnt have to go aftermarket for things that shouldnt be done at the factory
I'll at least give Honda credit for putting a manual in their family Sedan (glares at Mazda).
Mazda has it on their top end three.
@@gabrieliacoboni6951 they took it out of the Mazda6 though which competes with the accord.
@@louisburley8669 yeah cause nobody bought one :/
Shaiyan Hossain - My uncle did! And it’s a delightful car to drive.
Genesis G70 2.0T is right at the $40k price range and is RWD to boot and makes similar more power/tq. I like the interior better in the Genny but Accord is right there.

You know what else is apparently a unicorn?! SCOTT EFFIN' TURBOWSKI
Yes, more Turbowski. I do love this iteration of Tod-d doing the like/share/subscribe segment.
he died, hes buried now
@@alexander1485 what?
Has anyone actually seen Turbowski and Tony Clifton together in the same room??
@@PianoBlackTrimRep. Winning comment!!!!!!
I've never been here before, but this dude presents his knowledge really well.
He's also brutally honest (savage?), so he doesn't get that many new cars from the manufacturers to review...
@@OlJackBurton Now that I've been watching SG for awhile, I think it's the #1 car review channel on TH-cam, at least that I've seen. A lot of car channels are high on praise but very low on criticism, which makes the video an infomercial.
ol jack burton he gets plenty not sure what you are talking about.
Just bought this car 6 weeks ago but with the automatic transmission, love it! So impressed with what Honda has done with the Accord and I previously owned several BMW models. I think it’s hard to beat this car in value for the money! Great review!
I agree!
We need this car in the UK. Show the Germans a thing or two.
Same
You’re like me. I’ve owned several BMW’s in the past and just got tired of the lack of reliability, maintenance costs, overall high cost of ownership. When I looked at the 2019 Honda Accord Sport 6sp and noticed simple little conveniences such as a spare tire, an oil dipstick, and a battery in the engine bay that doesn’t require registering, I was in heaven. Also, my Honda is just plain fun to drive!!
@@MrBigBoy4Life oil dilution
I swear I thought the infotainment voice was saying "Please release the F****** brake" at 6:00 😂
Hahaa )
This should be a feature, car swearing at the driver: "Hey what were you thinking, you missed your junction, moron!"
Bitchin' Betty voice....
@@mickwrinkles2318 I'd pay some asshole for that feature.
can't be unheard anymore!
genexrocket how else you gonna get threw to people these days 😂
I am current owner of 2019 Accord Sport 2.0t 6mt. From my experience, this review is the most accurate and honest.
I can easily find out what he is trying to tell us in this review. Even with somewhat negative review of this vehicle, this review made me become huge fan of this guy.
Here is what I think about 10th gen accord 2.0t 6mt.
He nailed down all essential pros and cons about this car.
Engine has great torque in low end, but power dies way too soon before 5k rpm.
For having sudden surge of torque at low end, traction is slaughtered got the point why electronic stability control holds down on unicorns wings.
Clutch engagement point is at top 5% of clutch travel.
Shifter is my favorite. Honda's worst work ever.
I had to mod my car, I had to... make myself to like this car and keep for at least couple years.
Just 4 mods made me like this car again.
Ktuner, Acuity Stage 2 shifter mod (best mod that all accord 10th gen 6mt owner do!!!), Borla Exhaust, and H & R lowering springs.
All above mods cost me $2,600 + Labor ($0 for me cus I did all mod at my condo).
10AT is the way go to for this car.
I’ve seen, watched and reviewed many many vehicles over the years from tabloids, advertisements, television and nowadays from internet including TH-cam, but, you’re the very first tester/reviewer in the last 35 years (Top Gear UK from the early 80s to 1992 tested every type of vehicle not just performance) who’s actually showing and explaining underneath the vehicle and its components, interiors and all types of its driving mannerisms..
I applaud your unbiased real world reviews, great to watch someone who understands what really needs to shown...
I’ve watched a million car reviews and as a 10th generation Accord owner I can say without equivocation that this is far and away the most in-depth & honest review of this car. 2019 EX-L 1.5 is an amazing every day cruiser.
Your review is always top-notch. I rate you the best car reviewer to date.
You are the first person to criticize the shifter as far as I'm aware.
Kudos to Honda for the 6-sp. I am not on the market right now, but it would instantly be in the top three for me to look at.
How nice of you to tell us.
The way you articulate yourself throughout your videos and how it’s portrayed as well is very well thought out I love it.
Editing is absolutely exceptional! Your improvement over time is quite palpable. Thank you!
I'm so happy they come with the optional 6 speed manual. Lots of Honda guys love older Hondas because of how they feel, how they react, how they are driver's cars. This would be a great daily driver for a Honda enthusiast.
Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the Accord at $23,815 based on a private-party sale.
That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average. The depreciation level is even worse when you consider that the majority of our cars pass the 20,000-mile mark. Edmund's longterm Accord
I am keeping my eye out for a 2.0 6 speed accord for future replacement of my 2007 Accord SE manual. I only have 208,000 miles, so maybe when I hit 275,000 miles I will trade up.
@@midwestfarm757 sounds good homie. Good luck!
Watch out for the norm comments as they can be thrown out the window. GM lover for some reason as has tried to pass Buick suv as being better than such as CX9. And yes Norm we also drive them .
I’ve been waiting for this review for a long time. Thank you! I’m considering getting a used Touring with the adaptive suspension
I own this vehicle and I am happy every minute I'm in it. It's fantastic.
Thank you so much for reviewing the Accord, finally! I honestly think this is the best Accord to date, it's not a "Sports car" it's a sporty cruiser. You can do amazing things if you go aftermarket (specially on the 6MT) but that can be said for any other car. I bought mine exactly one year ago today. I'll keep it for years and years.
What do you think about getting the valves cleaned every so often in this car since its direct injected, Im guessing if you don't do it you will start to have serious problems as the engine gets high mileage??
@@living4christ Actually don't know that many cases from owners who haved to have the valves cleaned, Honda is better than VW when it comes to carbon build up. I'm at 17K and haven't had any issues so far, it's been a great car.
FINALLY!!! And as expected, the best, most objective review
The best Honda Accord review on TH-cam.
This is by far the best review I have seen on any vehicle. I have watched countless channels marvel over just the exterior of a vehicle but never have I seen the underside of a vehicle be attended to. I love your channel and look forward to watching everything. I’m mostly interested in purchasing a 2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited, i hope to see it on here one day, if it already isn’t. Thanks for your perspective, it’s great!
I own the 10 spd 2L and it is way quicker than I would have thought. Really enjoing the car.
Enjoying
I am 38 years old, always drove manual, had 2005 Accord as well. Just a month ago bought 2019 Accord, silver, 1.5L Turbo, 6 speed manual, love every bit of it! Love that car!!!
Sergey Zavgorodniy should’ve just got the civic if you were going to get a 1.5
Shudigg I did not buy Accord to race, it’s for normal driving, it has plenty of power. I bought Accord for family use, it’s practical.
Funny, just gave up my 2005 Accord for a 2019 6MT Civic Sport two months ago. I'm single and the new Accord was just too large for me.
A. Randolph That’s really funny, I gave up my 2005 Accord a month ago for new Accord. I still have 2005 Accord sitting in my driveway.
@@zavtravels4546 I just got the 1.5 myself, Civic just didn't fit me right. I'm 6'7".
I love my Accord, at first I hated it when I saw it at release but due to an injury I had to finally move from manual to automatic. Checked it out and its quick and comfortable. I really love the elegance of the car in general. I got the 2.0t Sport with the 10 speed and honestly you get a lot of car for the price.
I’m on my fourth Accord. I just discovered this channel tonight and I’m glad I did. Very thorough, very educational, unbiased review as well as a well-edited presentation. Kudos! You got a new subscriber! 👊🏾 That being said, until Honda gives us a real sporty Accord, I’m content driving my 2013 EXL-V6 Coupe (with 110,000+ miles). And I happen to LOVE my dual screen which enables me to see what’s in my blind spot as I always drive with my passenger side camera on. My old girl is a little bit worn, but, as long as I keep fresh tires on her and keep the oil changed, she goes! Maybe before I hit 200,000 miles there’ll be a new Accord that I’ll be interested in…
Your music is ALWAYS stunning and fits so well to the rest, I love those videos!
Thank for giving us an unbias and honest review of the new Accord Sport 6 speed.
I have been internally debating on whether to upgrade into one for the past few months and other reviews have just been praising / hyping it up instead of nit picking it like you do.
Thank you!!!
Look art his mazda6 review and make a decision foe yourself. If you test drive the Mazda 6 it would change ur mind about the Honda accord
Got to say your videos have such high production quality, beautiful filter choices, music, enter scene & exists,...and I can’t forget,..your demeanour,....no nonsense, to the point, and packed with sensibility. Thanks
I bought my 18 Si after watching your review and it’s fantastic. Thank you!
Love that montage. Video production quality and music choice amazing additions to your fantastic reviews as usual sir.
I’ve been wondering when you’d review this car! Thank you!
I've seen these go quickly on the used market. Either way, i hope this car sells well so that they have a reason to continue to improve the manual/sport option. Everyone complains about the lack of manuals on the internet, but when its time buy something in the real world, more often then not, they are walking out to automatic, or cvt equipped cr-v or something of that nature. Its put up or shut up time with cars like this that are quickly dying!
Accords always sell well and quickly in the used market.
gladdy02 I wanted to buy a manual transmission Accord but out of 35 models, not one of them was a MT-and the dealer said the second one comes in it is sold... So it seems like perhaps Honda doesn’t really feel like making them as much as they want to be able to *say* they make them. Unfortunately.
I’m always entertained by your candid, hilarious videos; my favorite car channel!
Finally a no nonsense car channel that I'd not endorsed by any manufacturer. Straight up and honest review. Good job, you earned another subscriber.
I was cranking all night. I know how to work my equipment.
If you need help, let me know LOL wink wink.
Honda haven’t even tried to sell the Accord in the U.K. for years. Their current line up is quite tragic here
Honda is leaving UK and Accord us getting 2 d shift cut in Ohio and Canada. HMC has priced itself out of business these days.
Do you guys have the Acura Legend?
Same in Australia. It's like they're not even trying... some of the most appealing cars in their lineup (like the 3-door Civic with a manual, oof) are completely unavailable here. The Civic is CVT only unless you go all the way up to the Type R.
After Honda fell to 6th in the Japanese market they pretty much decided to become an American company. The Accord is much larger than it used to be, doesn't make much sense for most Europeans anymore. The Civic is bigger than the Accord was 10 years ago.
They cancelled it in North America too. The Accord you used to get in Europe was called Acura TSX over here, but they discontinued it in 2014..
A shame too, cause the vehicle they replaced it with (Acura TLX) isn't as good in my opinion since it's trying to replace two discontinued vehicles..
best review i have seen. best quality and best breakdown of all the details. thank you
Outstanding quality of reviews brother..Just head and shoulders above the many on youtube who try to do the same..your channel and the quantity of info you provide makes this one stand apart..
I love how the first thing he notes is the dual-screen, I actually like having a second screen on the top. Occasionally when I'm driving on the highway I'll just leave the bike lane camera on to see the lane next to me in the outside or mid lane. Not everyone is a fan of I guess.
Me too. The dual screen in my 2017 is awesome. Why ditch it.
Same here, I love the dual screen and lane watch on my 9th gen v6. I can’t stand the stupid glued on tablet look. Irritates the heck out of me. Got a 10 th gen loaner while servicing, couldn’t take it back fast enough to get my car back.
Manual transmission with electronic parking brake lol
It's dumb. I have one on my Golf R as well, and is considered a PREMIUM feature.
Cupholder space has to come from somewhere
What's wrong with it? I've never had a problem in my camaro
@@BartlettRacing66 i think cause we're so accustomed to a manual with gears n pull up break haha
And it's annoying as hell...if you ever stall the car and try to restart immediately you have the fucking annoying voice saying "please engage parking brake". So you flip this switch, wait a second, THEN you can start your car.
Getting my 2.0 Sport this coming winter and I cannot wait!!! That is one beautiful San Marino Red color!!
Great job Mark! You are doing one of the best car reviews out there: the SAVAGE GEESE are rocking!
I have a Sport with the 1.5T engine, a wonderful car, my fifth Accord and I feel the best one yet. I routinely average 40MPG on highway cruising, impressive for such a big vehicle.
The 1.5T pulls! sport mode with paddle shifters is so fun
been waiting a long time for your review of the new accord. Honda should make a type R Accord with magnetic dampened shocks, and the LSD from the civic type R.. I want to do a Hondata tune on mine but like you said it is constantly using stability control from all the torque. Great review as usual!
I must admit this is the best review ever on youtube, you r awesome bro. thank you very much
Wow Savage, Todd, and Jack all together again! I really enjoyed the custom tunes played during your expertly filmed video. The Honda Accord a classic! Looks like they further refined it into a more luxurious ride. Love that it still has a manual. Not too big on the styling though. Love the red color and the reliability is gonna be excellent. Great video crew!
I work at a Honda dealership and personally I think the accord is great sedan with great driving dynamics and some of the cleanest lines for a mass-market vehicle(slim and long vs squared, wide and fat... giggity)
But unfortunately crossovers, SUVs and trucks are dominating the market. It often gets overlooked.
I am holding out for the mid cycle on the Accord to see what they do with the front end. Looks pretty good on the red car shown in the video.
@@midwestfarm757... In person the accord looks better. I can understand about the front end. I get the love it, hate it or it's alright responses from everyone.
Ricky M.
The rear is horrendous. I hope they address it on the mid-cycle refresh.
Captain Caveman lmao I loved this
Captain Caveman ?
Great video as usual!
Love the retrowave music background, fit the videography style very well
Really good, thorough review. I really, really loved the 80s-style soundtrack you used haha.
I literally subscribed because of the great ending with the battery skit.
I'm glad someone finally zeroed in on the 6MT vagueness that plagues the Accord and Civic. It's crisp and direct, just lacks the weight and communication from Honda's MTs of the past.
Terrific video as always.
Godspeed931 Indeed. Acuity is making a whole industry out of the wack vagueness and light gear fluid. I suffered misshifts that could have blown my motor and I have never misshifted any of my previous Hondas! It borders on criminal design!
First time in this Channel. Very impressed with this guy and his review of the Accord.
Very happy to see you back making videos, hope life is good!
This vehicle with the ‘17 Accord Coupe’s front and rear fascia would be a killer car.
I'd rather have the almighty J35 V6 from it, too
@@thatoneotherotherguy Call me bonkers, but I prefer GM's 3.6L V6 over the J35, but yeah, having that smooth, effortless, bulletproof V6 would be killer too!
I own the 19 sport manual and I agree. I had a 16.
@@apollosbrownies isn't the GM 3.6 notoriously unreliable? The J-series is bulletproof and sounds great... I'll take that one.
Honestly, I’m not too sure, Ryan. I’ve heard that sentiment circled around online, but I haven’t personally had issues with them, and of the people I know that do own 3.6L-based GM vehicles, most haven’t had any engine related issues either! What seems to be the case is that with continued, regular maintenance, and consistent, civilized driving, they’re quite decent. Let them sit around or lapse on the maintenance a bit, and then I start hearing of the odd issue or two.
On the flip side, the numbers are very similar between the 3600 and the J35, but GM’s engine really digs into its torque sooner than the Honda, and really gets up and going sooner too! In their stock form, the updated 3.6 engines in newer GM vehicles have a higher base output, though I imagine both have roughly the same overall potential. In comparable cars, like the Malibu and Accord, I did notice that the Honda engine was smoother overall, but the small gains on performance with the GM engine, and the slightly nicer off-beat sound really sold me on it. Fuel economy in real-world driving is about the same too, so it really is a tossup imho
The end skits are superb
One of the best car reviews. Keep up the good work!
Your editing is really amazing :) Helluva job on this.
Long time Honda guy here. In 2015 I bought my first German car a 2016 GTI DSG. LOVED that car! Only problem with it? FWD. FWD sucks. Period.
Whilst looking at Civic Hatchback for my wife, salesman offered a test drive in a 6MT 2.0T Accord, hell why not?!? Amazing car, gears started turning in my head "hey my GTI lease is almost up....hmmm, maybe this would be a good replacement???" During the test drive, it started to rain a little bit. And the 6MT 2.0T FWD Accord did exactly what my GTI did, embarrassed itself in the wet. Too much power to the front wheels.
A few months later I bought my Q60 AWD and I FREAKING LOVE IT. 332HP and AWD. I'll never own a FWD car with over 200hp again. Honda overpowered the Accord and should have offered AWD with the 2.0T. I would have bought the Accord right then during that test drive if it was 2.0T and AWD (trans doesn't matter to me as long as no CVT)
He was spot on about the shifter. Fortunately, Acuity makes a plethora of parts that will completely transform the car's shifter and make it feel like an entirely different car.
Exactly. First mod I did.
Which mod and how much does it cost
@@mosheweisz1087 Acuity offers several parts that work best when installed together. If memory serves, you can get everything they offer for the car for $300.
You have got to be the best auto review channel out there!! Love the endings!!!!
The editing on these videos are really well done.
(Gasp) as I say all the time and I will continue to say the answer will always be Honda. Honda is the star mark and continuance of automotive greatness.
Another lost opportunity for Honda not making this Accord as a "4 door coupe". Just look at the body shape, especially at the back... This car should have a lift-back!!!
Maybe because silly Americans like coupe styled sedans, but hate hatchbacks/liftbacks.
So you get booted cars that look like liftbacks, more than some actual liftbacks
damieg82 sportsback hatchback
Believe it or not it would make a cool looking station wagon! Imagine AWD, Wagon and the 6 speed. Never happen but you can dream
@@hamerplayer1229 Accord AWD Wagon? Manual? Honda take my money!
edog623 Well one wagon w/ AWD and one wagon FWD. Honda has gotten FWD to behave perfectly fine for me
I've been waiting quite a bit for this review from you. Thank you
Awesome review 👌 car reviews on TH-cam don't discuss suspension and other under pinning of the car which to me is very important and shows the true R&D work of current year model vs. the previous model car. Nice break down, keep up the good work 👍🏽
My only complaint about this when I test drove it was the laser focus air vents. They made them tiny to keep them /cool/ looking, but there was no diffusion on the air blower. It just shoots you right in a 5 square inch spot the whole time.
I have the same Accord in this video, you can really throw it around a corner - it will put a smile on your face. Makes me so happy on the drive to work. I did learn new things about my car in this video. My car does not tell me the brake is on or buckle my seat beat. I think you can turn the off in the infotainment. Mine doesn't talk at me =P This is my first Honda - My next will be a Honda. - I have the 1.5T, it will spin wheel from 1st into 2nd, sometimes 2nd into 3rd it will chirp - However - I do not have an issue with traction control around corners. The other thing to mention it takes 2 seconds to disable traction control, go have fun and spin tire if that's what you want to do. This Honda is the best car I have owned out of all 6.
Channel avatar kills me lmao. Very informative video as always and I definitely agree that this is the best accord so far. Got in one and was immediately impressed by the interior compared to the previous generations.
Great review. the for all the tech info. my 2019 Accord LX 1.5T 192hp 30/40hp 17in is loved. early I noticed looking under that it had some adhesive between panels. thanks for clarifying this and explaining purpose. better than other reviews so far.
I considered one of these but I saw lots of complaints about paint peeling issues. Keep an eye out for that. 👍🏻

Great review! This car is in my shortlist next time I’m shopping for a new car. Thanks for discussing a couple of its minor issues. They wouldn’t keep me from buying one, but it’s good to know anyway.
Thank you for consistently solid reviews.
I respect your analysis but I was surprised on your opinion of the manual transmission. It was the complete opposite of what I have experienced in regards to the shifting. I traded my 17 Civic Si for this Accord 2.0T. The shifter in the Civic Si was the most un-Honda-like manual I have ever owned. My Honda history goes back to 1986 when I got my license and purchased an 85 CRX. Since then, its been mostly Hondas including a brand new S2000. The 17 Si shifter was notchy, imprecise and not smooth at all. When I drove the Accord, the shifter immediately stood out to me as if I were back in the glory days of 80;s, 90's and early 2000's Honda. Meaning, the shifter was perfect. The rest of the car is brilliant and I don't miss the Si at all. All the Accord needs is a thicker rear sway bar to make it just right for spirited street driving. I like the way the engine makes power compared to the Si's 1.5T. Maybe I am getting old and more mellow but this Accord is a fun, capable machine that can haul ass and the family. For all those thinking buying this Accord, please get the manual and raise the take rate statistics. Honda needs to continue with their manuals. This manual is very very good. Sorry Mark but I respectfully disagree. BTW, my shifter was loose as well when I took delivery.
you couldn't just swap the shifter components? had to get whole another car?
Great car I looked into this with 6speed manul but went with the civic si becuase it had the lsd diff and the Adaptive dampers
Great video. You always actually know what your talking about. That’s appreciated. 👍🏻
A very thorough review that I really enjoyed. Thanks much.
The mid-2000s Accord with 4cyl/manual was probably the pinnacle of the Accord. What a great old car.
Yip the best model they made. I have a 2007. Got too bloated and techy after that. I won't be 'upgrading' cause there's nothing better IMO.
We have a 2008 accord which has been a good car with 140 k. No promblems. Also have a 2018 Accord sport. Sorry but no way is the 2008 half as nice a car . The driving dynamics and comfort are miles ahead on the 18. I have 25 k on the 18 and reliability remains to be seen but then again I have a 2009 F-150 that has 180 k that has had a coil replaced and that’s it. Luck may also play as experiences are all over the map. My wife drove her 2015 ford Sho to 160 k with not an issue.
This is a really good car but number 2 in the class for me after the Mazda 6 .I like good handling car and i think the Mazda 6 is the best handling car in this segment and i think car and Driver motortrend and savagegeese agree.
Btw.
Cross balance
Mazda 6 signature :51.09%
Toyota Camry: 52.91%
Honda accord 2.0t sport:53.29%
Can't go wrong with this Three cars is this segment.
Finally the Geese reviews my car! Unfortunately here in LA traffic I rarely get to push my car to the limits so I don’t get to experience the traction control the way you explained it. As a daily it’s really fun. Perhaps I’ll get some coil overs in the future along with a tune.
The best videos ever you drive the like a man and tell us exactly how it is I like how you made it known about how the shifter actually feel everybody was making it seem notchy as if it was a mechanical shifter
21:05 Just to be clear, the resell of the 6MT Accord on the private market isn't great. The book values are generally just based on overall resale of the model, but because no one is actually looking to buy an Accord w/ a MT, if you try to sell it on your own, it'll usually just sit there while you try and find that very unique buyer.
Though this is true in the 3-5 year window, they outperform the autos as they age beyond that because the rarity. This was at least true with the last two generations.
@@michaelkrenzer3296 hmm, this is something I didn't consider, thanks for the follow-up.
Love that there's still a 6mt but RIP V6
Poor Honda turbo-4's!
"In a memo sent to dealers, Honda’s manager of auto campaigns and recalls, Brad Ortloff, said oil in these engines could be diluted because of software settings or potential hardware failures. Some vehicles could experience “lack of power,” leading to cylinder misfires or engine noise." Consumer Reports
"But if the vehicles are stalling, as some owners have reported, this is a safety issue and Honda should conduct an official recall, which doesn’t expire.” Consumer Reports

Now Toyota Camry still has their V-6 but alas, no MT.
@@normt5463 Earthdreams engines = oil dilution nightmare. Just make sure to do very regular oil changes and smell for gasoline when you check levels.
The V6 6mt Accord was pure perfection. Simple car that was just an absolute sleeper... Saw a video of a guy in a 6mt coupe almost beating a 5.0 mustang in a highway race. If they dropped a J series in the new gen Accord I would buy it on the spot.
Nice video. Very informative. look forward to the next one.
Okay the soundtrack on this video is just savage. Gives me goose bumps!
I’ve got a 2019 2.0 Sport with the 10 speed auto. It’s a great car to daily drive especially if you’ve got a family. I’m 6’5 and my tween can sit behind me with room to spare. It’s got plenty of power for my use, and I love driving it.
Post pics of her feet pls
I had reclining seats in my first car a 1965 Rambler. They used to call them makeout seats.
I love that you’re doing reviews of cars that people would buy instead of those really expensive and luxury cars which is outta reach. Also your reviews are a little too technical for me like listening to a college professor but I like it. Makes u seem more of an expert than reviewers who are getting off on launch controls
I just started a job with a 60-mile round-trip commute, 90% interstate and 10% twisty country lane. I would KILL for this car...it's perfect for my current situation. Thanks for the review!
That's my commute. 33mpg overall with the 2.0 6mt
I have the 2019 Honda accord sport 2.0t all black with rose gold trim and rose gold rims also did a stage 2 tune with my hondata controller and i love my car sooooo much ❤❤
That's it for 6MT Accords. Officially killed off by Honda.
Yeah, now I wish I didn't trade in my 2.0T manual in February, but I did go up to 480hp in a Bullitt, so yay.
@@richardnavratil9661 Nice. I used to own one of the original 2001's. Loved that car.
I wanted to buy this accord with the 2.0t 6mt but now they are so few selling and they are selling at new prices. All of them shot up 3 to 5 grand which blows. I want the car but I'm also against getting ripped. If only I had enough money saved just a few months earlier
Dude, I just upgraded my monitor from 1080p 60hz to a 1440p 144hz and savagegeese videos are better than ever now. The production quality is simply amazing at higher res..it really shows.
the ending of this video was probably the best piece of randomness I've ever seen. It's not often I feel like someone else gets this level of refinement, but you clearly do.
I had the 2007 Accord V6 Sedan 6 speed manual and absolutely loved it. I'm glad that Honda released it once again. #SaveTheManual
It never left tho
@@halalwrld I meant the premium version. The V6 sedan with a manual or now the 2.0t. I guess the sport sedan had it but the V6 with a manual was great.
I had a 2006 Accord v6 6 speed sedan. Loved it!
What happened to it? Rare car.
@@DainichiKichi Unfortunately I was rear ended by someone who was going quite fast.
Thanks for the balanced thoughtful and basically thorough review.
Most intelligent review. Calm and composed about luxury , aggressive about performance . Someone who knows how cars are made. In short he knows people are going to buy it for luxury not sports car performance .
