I swear he's like a kid at Christmas time every time he turns into that back road lol.
Finally someone does a good review on this car. This car is overlooked too much. Id take this over an Si any day
it's over looked because they are expensive for what they are , people tend to chose the cheaper mustang and camaro for coupes
+Alex Silva to bad the Accord is getting killed off and replaced by the Gen X Civics
+matthew von the accord has 4 models before it even hits 27,000 where the camaro basically starts off at 27,000 with a 4 liter engine they actually cost around the same in the 3.5-3.6L v6 area which is 32,000 but the camaro has more hp rwd in the v6 and has a more aggressive look to it which is why someone might buy it over the accord. The base camaro v6 is 27,000 but the accord is more luxery then sport. thats where the cost difference is. plus the aggressive look is what sells the car
+Alex Silva My Favorite reviewers are Redline Reviews and SWF
Alex Silva nahhhhh dude, si still has much better handling.
I love to watch the faces of people who underestimate the Accord V6 just because of it being a Honda. Its quick. Ive hurt some feelings of some Mustang owners on the hwy.
its fun being the owner of one. Mustangs, WRXs and 86s are the best to make upset. they get the most mad XD
@Deathto Trolls umm my cammed FBO J35 Accord toys with modern 5.0 crowd killer's for fun LOL
I've bested every kind of mustang (naturally aspirated mind you) That isn't the 2012+ 5.0 at least once. 2005 back have never bested me cept one v8. He gapped my ass hard. Pretty sure he races a lot and props to him lol.
I beat every 4 banger too (cept wrxs. holy shit they're fast). Type R's are not easy to beat either. If you letm they'll end up getting you top end so you need to gap them as much as possible before you leave 3rd gear.
old school v8 guys have no idea how slow they really are (when stock lol). I have a 08 v6 auto accord sedan with only 3rd cat, small resonator and mufflers deleted and i gap them. Sometimes its a fight but usually i win by half a car at least.
Oh and dont race vettes in your v6. Doesn't matter the year for some reason these cars always ALWAYS win by a car or two. (dream car is a c5 or c6 zr1
Velanestar autoTRAGIC you say? I know blah blah blah new autos are faster but where’s the real effort
@@eVerProductions1 well if you can shift through the first 3 gears properly - knowing your cars transmission, you dont have as much as of disadvantage as a 6 speed auto with no selections what so ever.
Dont get me wrong id much rather have a v6 accord coupe with a 6speed fun box but those are rare as fuck now
What if I told you it's okay to like and enjoy a FWD car and still be considered a "car enthusiast".
Isaiah Martinez yeah I mean if not then almost all Honda fans back to the 90’s get counted out
Its fine buts not the stigma that people care about its just the fun aspects of a rwd car that we prefer lol
Front wheel drive cars are my favorite
It takes experience to be able to push a FWD to it's peak level of handling/performance, that's what makes it fun! Merely having all the most "preferable" car specs/mods doesn't make a person a better driver. Too many people jump to that conclusion without maximizing their potential with what they already have.
FWD is fun in ligth cars. But a car heavy as the Accord deserved a RWD or at least a AWD.
0-60 in 5.5 sec.. not too shabby
Not at all. Especially for a car that gets 30mpg highway. I been looking for a 16 with 6mt. Doing the research and was just recommended this video. Lol
@@TWOxTONE_773 yep V6, 6 speed, 30 mpg hwy & regular gas (not premium)
love my 6 speed they are rare & always fun
Wow I had no idea they were that fast. I think I’d probably hold onto it if I had it since it’s so rare.
Big fan of Honda manuals. Most people don't know how good they really are. Also, extremely nice sounding V6.
Just drove one of these. Lexus rcf owner as well. I’m def in love with this car. It’s so low key and sounds incredible. 100% road-trip worthy while having a blast and plenty of space
Great review! It was fun to watch you really enjoy the Accord V6 coupe.
The last of its kind. A Honda Accord coupe, v6 in manual. These are special cars and one day may reach collector status.
Absolutely, naturally aspirated v6 is no more, I haven’t driven this car but really want to, maybe buy😙
If you slow down before the curve and accelerate through, it actually tracks really flat and you'll be in the sweet spot of the engine coming out.
even with my 03 V6 coupe, the same thing works. bit less power but also lighter and still outstanding for it's time. Who else was putting out 240 hp naturally aspirated V6's in 2003? this platform has always been great. Sad that they killed it off last year
Hands down V6 power is awesome in this car, very torquey, and very fast, very good car.
Reaction to the power is priceless
Honestly surprised they still make this is a manual lol
Hi
Street Speed 717
Hey buddy!
Honda respects the manual which I love and is rare in todays auto industry
@@LimeTimeHD not no more😒
@@MickeyMea they are still going to make the Civic in manual at least
the acceleration is at 8:05 for those who are wondering :)
R I @ 10:00 too! 👌🏼
Gotta love the J-Series V6's :)
I have a 2002 accord with a j series, i adore it.. I want to get a newer car with another motor like this one.
Bern on Cars subarus love them also
I’ve got an 05 6-6 and i love it lol 168k
I have the exact same 9th gen 6-6 hands down one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.
Dude!!!! Soooo glad you finally did a 13-15 accord! I love mine and had commented on your previous gen video and knew you would love it! I have the auto because still night pearl can't come with manual....darn you Honda car gods!
I currently drive a 2013 Honda Accord Sport sedan with the 6 spd manual and I love the way it handles for a sedan. I test drove the manual V6 coupe before I bought the sedan and I agree with that it was faster than I thought would be.
I think the sedan in 'sport' trim is slightly better handling.
Matt, thanks for the video and your enthusiasm.
Merry Christmas!
Just bought one today and love it !!!
Awesome review. I've always loved the Accord with the J-Series V6. It's an awesome machine.
TIMP1198 Definitely buying one now that Honda doesn't make one.
Just wanted to point out matt that your editing skills have really improved a lot these last few videos, the videos are so well strung together.Regarding the car, I like it. It sounds good and looks good, and according to your reactions it pulls good! I just wish they were RWD, then they would sell a crazy amount!
This manual V6 Accord was a giant killer fr. The V6 Altima and Camry couldn’t keep up, non v8 mustangs and camaros had a hard time, Nissan 350Z’s and Infiniti G35’s gasped for power at the high rpm, the Hyundai Genesis Coupe got a run for their money
Vid starts at 0:00, I got u fam
Lol
nonono! the video actualy starts at 0:00
+Dominic Mason Can you link me to where the video ends? I looked every (beginning and about halfway through) and couldn't find it
The video never ends 0_0
thanks bro
that engine is underrated by honda. It's more like 310 0r 315.
was waiting for this comment. Honda underrates the accord so it won't kill the TLX
+Jacob Evans Yeah ..
***** Yeah, I miss the TSX and TL. I don't like the TLX
***** Yeah.. Well.. At least some parts of the world still have the Honda Accord Euro which is the TSX with different badges and a better front grill!
+Shuffle3956 I'm a former Acura salesmen so I'm a little biased but the TLX is nothing short of reliable. but the first year models of ANY car regardless if brand are trash. and the TL and TSX sell technically exist. V6 awd tlx = TL. 4 cyl TLX with PAWS = TSX. that's how the cars are branded internally
Just bought a 2016 model and LOVE it. Buttery smooth and lots of pop!
The old one you drove was an auto. If you had driven a 6 speed your reaction would have been identical. Same power, identical transmission, better steering feel.
Manual faster coming from an auto owner
My dad has had this car since 2014 and it’s such a blast to drive and has plenty of space all around. Truly a fun and useful daily.
Highly agree. This car isn’t a bad investment one bit
Its been 6 years and I still want this car.
I've had mine for 3 years and it still puts a smile in my face every time I drive it. Highly recommend getting one!
Got a 2016 touring w/ red seats😁 fun car
I've had one for 2 years now and 30,000 miles on it. I gotta say there's nothing like it when people say "it's just an accord right?" and you punch it and it does damn near a burn out.
I really just wish it was all wheel or rear, honestly it would be a perfect car. It's more luxurious than the genesis and mustang or 350 z and some how manages to put up great numbers despite being less powerful.
Why don't Honda rarely make RWD cars? The s2000 and the NSX were awesome!
Agreed
Yeah, those 2 Hondas are my favorite
+NothinButCars cheaper to make FWD cars, and honda is going towards family oriented vehicles like toyota
Man Honda needs to bring out their badass side again and start putting out more RWD cars
+The Kowbow They came out with a new NSX, 300hp Type R and rumors of a new S2K :)
I have the same car in red and it put a smile on my face every day I drive it.
How’s it holding up ? I’m sure it’s chugging along just fine if u didn’t sell
Lol im glad you finally got a chance to drive a 13-15 Accord V6 coupe. Worlds of a difference from the previous generation you reviewed.
told u the v6 coupe accord +13' is wayy more hp than the previous gens. it's literally a 13 sec car stock form. the other review was useless, glad u did this review.
son sonson 7
It has like 10 more horsepower than the previous generation
buying my dads 13 accord 6v manual next year gona be a fun daily
Yes! I've been looking into these since I had to sell my RSX. thank you so much man!
Two days ago, I was thinking, "I hope he does a V6 Accord Coupe review." I was curious what he thought of it since it is quicker than his Ecoboost Mustang.
I'm thinking of buying this car.
+ProjectM97 It's fast but not as fast as the Mustang.
+ProjectM97 I have this car (with the automatic) and my biggest gripe with it is the automatic uses VCM which switches from 6 cylinders to 3 cylinders when you are cruising or when there's little to no throttle being applied. It's worse then turbo lag, so definitely consider that when/if you test drive one
No way the v6 is faster than a Ecoboost 😂
+subaruwrxfan I read online that the 0-60mph is quicker on paper at 5.6 seconds. Another review I saw says it handles like a high end sports car.
I have a 8th gen coupe 6-6 and manual is the way to go with these cars. Just such a blast! And now with this 9th gen they really refined the whole car. Love the new interior.
how's the handling? I'm looking at the 8th and 9th gen 6-6 coupes, I'm coming out of a BMW 328ci so handling means a lot to me.
It's pretty good in my opinion. On stock suspension their's not that much body roll. It's not a very sporty car so its not spectacular, but not bad!
You'll be exchanging speed for power.
Sorry wrote that wrong. You'd be exchanging handling for speed.
I own a '15 version w an automatic, still fun fast and chirps 2nd gear, love this car.
man I was just thinking to myself I wish subaruwrxfan could do a accord coupe review ! and then I woke up to this awesome job man
I have this same car but 2013 and has navigation and I love it. I live in Canada and the Canadian model and it has a few different features like LED low beams and a self dimming rear view mirror.
I'm on my second Accord and it's the same one as this video. Car hauls serious ass. No joke. Great great car for enthusiasts. Absolute beast to drive. And a reliable, practical, affordable daily driver
How much u pay
This car is such a sweet sleeper. Idk what it is- but gatt damn the seating position and comfort is out of this world. It’s insulated so well too, so quiet and smooth inside
I have my Florida permit and as you might know, every single road in Florida is flat and straight. we're in western NC this week for Christmas where there are fun mountain roads everywhere and we decided to bring my father's 2013 Accord Coupe v6 manual and to tell you the truth, I was having an awesome time. Never being able to test it in Florida, I always thought it was a big fast car that couldn't handle anything but wow, I was surprised.
Whoah bro, just noticed you got that verified check mark! Congratulations Matt, you've come a long way with the channel.
I have a 2014 Honda Accord 2 door coupe Honda did an amazing job making his car I just love the car Honda you're a winner
Finally someone mentions the Porsche-y looking rear!
I've owned this 2014 Accord LX model since new. It's a really good vehicle. I
do have a serious safety issue with how the cruise control works though. It
does not disengage when downshifting unless you touch the brakes or the
cancel button. I've been driving cars for over 55 years and this is the first one
where depressing the clutch pedal does not disengage the cruise.
Q: Why would the engineers make it like this?
you have slowly become one of my favorite youtubers keep it up
I haven’t seen you drive a 2012 Accord Coupe with the six speed. I saw your review of the automatic coupe. My 2012 Coupe pulls really well through 5th gear and rockets through 5000 RPMs putting a smile on my face as big as your smile in the 2014.
I just bought a 2013 subaru impreza with the cvt. Can't wait to get it! It has 7000 miles!
I have the 13. I love it so much
It seriously feels like you've modernized your videos, great job!
Keep in mind the old one you reviewed was an automatic the 8th gen manual is just as punchy
No it's not. I've had both. 9th 6--6 is quite a bit of a difference.
@@jacetheace849 honestly all i noticed was a bit less body roll and a bit more turning stability in the 9th gen They’re powered by the same j series v6 . I found the acceleration and quickness to be about the same. What differences did you notice? Honestly just curious what your experience was.
"WOW..this thing is a screamer"".... Fave part
now...if only Honda would put the v6 manual into Acura's TLX and call it a type s
YES!!!
+ThatGearHead™ and fcking let the exhaust tips be visible.... and add a bit of power (heavy car)
I miss the quad exhausts on that 2008 TL Type S
this please
plus an ilx 6mt coupe
Add a 6 speed and a LSD
The J35 with the 6mt was such an amazing pairing. I still miss my 03 6mt, even if the clutch was very touchy.
this guy lives for the backroad moments
I remember asking you to review an Accord 2 months ago and finally you did!
me also
Thank you man for this amazing review I was thinking for buying a 2013 civic si but after this review I will go without any problem with an accord 2014 v6 manual coupe you change my mind completely because your first review of an accord v6 2012 automatic was destroying of that old model the new version is just stunning
i like my car fwd because im in canada and we get winter nov to april.
sgm4545 same here
I went back to watch this video. It’s funny how you go back and see how you progressed through the years and you definitely progressed ! Man you’re way better now! Other reviewers have progressed as wel. But it’s nice to go back and see how successful you all have become as time went on. I can’t believe how dirty that car was..😜😂lol
Haha thanks! Yeah I'd like to think I've become a lot better at reviewing cars over the years lol. Thanks for the comment!
As a Honda Fanboy that’s had Accords, Civics, and CRVs, I really miss the V6 option paired with a Manual and a 2 door. I know they didn’t sell that well towards the end, but man they were great cars for guys like me that didn’t have kids and liked a smaller car with a V6 and that was great on gas and fun to drive.
I have a 2015 Accord manual V6, its awesome! Also had a 2007, same model just had to get a new one. Quick as hell!
@Jeff Pratt is the 2015 feel faster (more torque-y?). I have the 2006 V6 manual and trying to decide whether I should get another Accord or something else. Would you say they are about the same? I'm honestly pretty underwhelmed by my Accord.
I hope Honda listen to their customers and will build a RWD platform for their bigger models (like the Accord/TLX or other future models).
If it was RWD that would make it 10000000000x better
+Jak2bossbf3 first gen NSX
+VirusTornado s2k
Abhiram Godavari Yeah, but I meant a RWD V6 Honda. S2000 is a peach.
+VirusTornado whatevs it's still rwd
Abhiram Godavari I know, I'm not arguing. wtf?
I wanted you to do this review for so long, especially after seeing your 2008 V6 coupe review. I now own one of these as opposed to my BRZ.
I have a 7th Gen 6 speed 3.0 it is a blast. If your going to get a Honda V6 go with manual. The autos are not nearly the same driving experience.
Another fair and reasoned review. Great work Matt!
I know this is old video, but nice review. First guy I've seen actually enjoy his 6 6 like I do.
If only it was RWD...
+thecarelectronicguy i was waiting for this comment
+thecarelectronicguy it will never happen unfortunately
+thecarelectronicguy That would be the NSX (first gen)
+thecarelectronicguy or AWD like the TLX
+thecarelectronicguy Yeah most manufacturers can squeeze 320-ish out of modern V6's but in the Accord the V6 is weak because the power's going through the front wheels. If it was RWD Honda could give it some more umph without torque steer.
I owned an ‘04 V6MT back in the day, and just last month picked up a 2013 V6MT in really nice condition. I couldn’t believe how much quicker the 9th gen is! These Accords are absolute gems!
I wish I could find one of these… they’re basically unicorns nowadays. I found a V6 auto that I’m considering going for just because I tend to hit a lot of traffic. Maybe if the money works out. For now my 04 6-6 coupe is enough for me!
I have a 2014 Honda Accord Coupe Ex-L V6 with HFP (honda factory performance). Great car!
I did the wheels and suspension didn’t go with the bodywork. The car handles even better. It’s a weapon 👍🏼
+Subaruwrxfan Another great car review Matt. Have a good Christmas Andy
Would be awesome if Honda implemented Acura's SH-AWD into this Coupe
Great review man! I actually took one for a test drive the other day and loved it!
The suspension isn't exactly soft on this. Its firm when going over bumps but handles them well
It looks great and sounds great! Great review!
I must disagree with his opinion on the coupe versus four-door's appearance. I think they both look equally as good, the coupe just looking more sporty, but the four-door being just as good in a different way
Would you take the Accord V6 coupe or an Si Coupe 2014?
Probably the Accord because I like the luxury features but it's a tough choice because I love the Si too.
+DragonXrulez I was stuck between a v6 6MT coupe and a 2011 Civic Si.
Only thing I didn't like about the accord was how big it felt. Didn't feel near nimble enough and it was a little bit too luxurious for me. Looks, sounds and drives great. Very happy with my 2011 Civic Si Sedan
+TheMachRider same boat over here. Ended up with a '14 Si sedan but the accord was definitely faster in a straight line. Still happy with my choice
V6 coupe
Accord V6 HFP
Not a big Honda fan but I really do really like these new Accords. especially the 2015 Accord and all new Civic.
This car will definitely hold its value now because Honda no longer makes the Accord in a 2 door coupe. And they no longer make it in a V6. And lastly, they stopped making it in the 6 speed manuel this year.
Seems true!!
this is a really good underrated car with a manual transmission, I own one my self in red. only thing
is missing is RWD. awesome car, good job honda.
awesome review. he was like a kid at a candy store when he experienced that J series power lol he underestimated it
gosh ive been shopping around for one of these! I really want one!
Hey seems like you enjoyed the engine this time! It honestly is the difference between the manual and the automatic for the previous gen. That old one you drove was neutered by the transmission and the Variable Cylinder Management technology. This newer engine makes a lot more power at the wheels, and they improved everything so that even the automatic makes the power that it's supposed to. Obviously the manual will be that much better
But quick question, didn't the front end feel nose heavy? Being a 3.5L V6 FWD car, I would think that it felt really slow to turn in to the sharper corners
You should have let me know you have been looking for one! I got mine in Feb 2015 and love it. A lot of people say this is an old person car, but with the v6 and manual i dont think so at all. He didnt mention that the best part is not only do you have 279hp but i avg 30mpg.
I own an 08 v6 accord sedan. I've named it Rommel. Very fun to drive, gas mileage in the city isn't fantastic but none the less its great on the highway.
120k miles and still rides smoother then everything ive road in cept Cadillac. And you can race it stock and have fun
If a modern v8 pulls up on you don't even think about it cause they weight the same and have a ton and a half more torque and hp then you but most v6s, almost all 4 bangers and most oldschool v8s you can best if you drive correctly.
Note, this is for stock on stock racing. Dont wanna hear about your 2002 v6 twin spooly snailed mustang or your supercharged LS- no naturally aspirated v6 can beat a spooly snailed or supercharged v8 or v6...
Now a 4 banger with a spooly snail or supercharger? that sounds like a fun race haha. Only lost to a type r, and almost all the WRX's ive raced. WRX's usually get me after 2nd- that turbo kicks in and offpphh. Kinda like ECO boost stangs, cept ive never raced someone in one who had any skill cause ive always won...
These cars are so rare it's impossible to find one in good stock condition 😊
Back when Matt’s reviews were less corporate feeling..good ol days
What a great looking coupe. I love the 2014 body style
you should get rid of that Ford and get this
The j series engines in my opinion is one of the best sounding v6 and they scream
They do have bottle holders Matt, just move that little pouch out of the way.
I have a '13 in Tiger Eye Pearl (brown) and I LOVE it!
Old video, but the 8th gen accord v6 and 9th gen accord v6 had the same power numbers, 8th gen- 278 whp and I believe torque was 254. Pretty sure both generations had the same power numbers. Although getting them on the dyno showed significant differences between the figures shown and the actual power out down
I love the intro!😁
finally:) didnt watch him drive yet but happy you found a 6 speed! we bashed u hard last time lol
subaruwrx fan, you said that the 2014 accord v6 acceleration surprised you compared to the previous generation; however the power, weight, and gearing are all pretty much the same between this generation and the last. Although I could be biased since I drive a 2012 v6 accord coupe (manual of course). If you are comparing to the auto accord from the previous generation, then the acceleration would be much better because the manuals have much shorter gearing.
absolutely love my 2011 Honda accord Coupe V6. Wishing it was a manual. They are so hard to find.
Had one of these up until a couple years ago. Went on vacation one fall and rented a Dodge Challenger with the 5.7 Hemi. Drove it for a week. Came home and my little v6 Honda felt like a toy. Traded it in 2 days later for a slightly used Challenger R/T with low miles. Haven’t missed it since.
Every body s got a challenger nowadays. Nobody’s got an accord coupe. Especially the touring model. I’d choose my 2016 over any new sports car🤪🤪
Gee. It's almost like they are entirely different classes of cars. God forbid anyone feel good unless it's the biggest baddest out there. You have major small pee pee vibes. Like hick billy Drumpf worshippers that drive lifted trucks on street tires and wheels.
278 Horsepower not 276. I have the 2015 coupe v6 and yes it is highly underrated. 300 plus HP stock on a dyno.
Ur reviews are damn good! Keep it up bro!
