2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Coupe Start Up, Tour

[@svtmustang347]

Great video, love the car! But I couldnt help but laugh at 5:58 when you said "I really like it from the back."

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Thanks for the feedback! I love the car. I didn't even realize what I was saying... I'm glad that I am entertaining though haha

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

We've owned this car since new, and we haven't had any problems with it. Everything has been flawless!

[@gm167chevy]

Lucky yu had it given to you.... I've been working to try to get one for years :(

[@Wrong_Hand_Drive]

I laughed a little when you said you lose it in parking lots, then I realized we haven't all fallen victim of the car addiction. I forget how quiet mine was when I got it. Now she purrs nicely, and will be getting more love quite soon. Got the 08 V6 6MT btw

[@rm250rider05]

this gen is the best looking coupe that honda has made

[@marklawrence343]

Very nice buddy, you only missed showing us the trunk size and tools storage. I have a 2001Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe, and its sweet. Just passed 80,000 miles yesterday. Your engine was so quiet, didnt realize to started the car until you revved the enging. Very cool.

[@averageguytested]

Most cameras today are fickle. I find that the best lighting for filming cars is on overcast or rainy days. Keep up the good work! good stuff!

[@averageguytested]

Sweet car - LOVE it in Silver!

[@andrewnyynyj]

Love the video man! I just got a 2013 Accord Coupe, and I love the old ones too! Great first video man!

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Thanks so much! It's definitely been a great purchase so far. I will recommend the 4 cylinder if you don't need all the power, because gas mileage suffers on the V6. However I do love the power :)

[@natebragdon1539]

Hey! I loved the video! I just purchased the same car in black. I wish that I was able to find one in stick shift. But, for the price I paid, NOT BAD! I live in MA near the NH border. Wish you popped the hood! No big deal...

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Nate Bragdon Thanks so much! Awesome car choice, I do love mine. I've had it for almost 4 years now. Sorry that I didn't pop the hood in this video, but I know I have in others.

[@natebragdon1539]

Nice! Good luck with it! I pick mine up tomorrow

[@XZAYLO]

thanks for video, i love this car. How do you like it so far and how is the gas mileage? I am planning to get a 2012 accord v6 6 speed hfp or 2014 accord

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

I'm averaging around 21 miles per gallon, but I'm sure if you drove more conservatively, you could get that number into the high 20's. It costs about $50 to fill up where I live, and gas is $3.30 a gallon for 87 grade, which it runs well on!

[@65mustanggeorge]

Looking at a couple but not sure what to go with stick or auto 🤷🏻‍♂️ Love the 13 and up push start nicer gauge cluster !

[@erikkkherreraa]

this car is really quiet doesnt even make noise we test drove one but the price was way to hug cnt afford it

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

My car is just a rocketship, and it returns respectable fuel economy (now that I drive more conservatively). It handles very well for a FWD car, too! I enjoyed driving my little Cobalt quickly because it felt as light as a go-kart, but that proved to be too demanding for it.... I just wish my car had a manual/sport mode. The 5AT is stupid sometimes, but overall works very well with the engine.

[@thepatriot2603]

Do you still have this car? I’m thinking about getting a 4-cylinder EXL coupe with 32 thousand miles from carmax!!

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

If you really need a backseat, like people are getting in or out all the time, I would definitely go with the sedans over the coupes. My Accord has a great amount of room in the back, it's more than most coupes! However, getting back there is difficult as you have to mess with the seat. I do carry people in my backseat occasionally, and no one has ever complained (except when there are 3 across). Good luck with the shopping :) I prefer the Accord over the Altima, I think it's of a higher quailty

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

I have no regrets regarding my purchasing my car. However, if you get a V6 and drive in the city a lot like I do, the MPG isn't great.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

The only difference is that Bluetooth became standard on 2010 V6 models. The Accord was refreshed for 2011, so that's where the changes occurred.

[@computerkid1416]

Nice review. I just got a 2009 Honda Accord EX-L recently myself as a surprise gift from my parents. It's really nice; it has only 55,000 miles on it as well.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Good for you! Very nice gift.

[@connerbutler1077]

ACCORDingtoTom did you buy yours new or certified pre owned? Also how much?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

It has been in my family since it was new!

[@zaveryavier]

computerkid1416 how is it driving for you I'm thinking about getting it for my first car.

[@computerkid1416]

Great, it's such a smooth ride, not to mention reliable. I'd recommend it for sure.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

I haven't compared the Eclipse and Accord, however I feel that the Accord is a much more refined car. I drive only in the city, and I get 18 miles per gallon. And the four cylinder has 190 horsepower, which is perfectly adequate. Mine has 271 and it's crazy fast! I think the 4 cylinder would be a better choice for you if you don't crave the extra power. Test drive both engines and see, though!

[@SirLurkington]

I currently drive a 1988 LXi version of the accord... I was looking to get this 2009 or newer version. Dunno if I want brand new or used yet.

[@LiMassacre]

Nice video dude, highly considering buying one.

[@timj.8056]

Nice car! Very sharp!!!

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Thank you! What did you choose instead of the Accord?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

It is a great car! :D

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Compared to our BMW and Volvo, the road noise is slightly more pronounced. However, those are luxury cars and therefore they are exceptionally quiet. The road noise has never bothered me in the Accord, though. However, if you are switching from a Camry, it may be an annoyance. Test drive it for yourself and you'll know for sure!

[@titone14]

Hey whats up man, im thinking in getting a coupe and im looking this accord or maybe the altima 08... Im concern about the backseats, it have a good space in there? Thanks!

[@jamess6934]

Hey, I know it's been a while since you posted this but how was the handling and driving experience when you owned it compared to other cars?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

The steering had very nice weight and feedback, and it handled well for its size. It did understeer a bit under quicker cornering because of the large engine over the front wheels, but overall it was a very competent handling car. I do miss the V6 sounds and power too!

[@65mustanggeorge]

Nice ride !

[@ZaZilla448]

How’s it holding up? I’m thinking about getting one, exact model and color lol

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

I don't have it anymore- got rid of it about 3 years ago with 95K. That being said, I am sure it is running well!

[@altimax9091]

really nice ..i got my maxima 2010 with 19 inch rims ,,same color ..very fast ..i was looking for an accord like yours ...but i`m happy with my max..:-)

[@titone14]

Yeah, i deffently prefer the Accord over the Altima because the interior looks more spacious..Yeah thats what i tought about getting out the people, because i used to have a Mitsubishi Eclipse 2003, and man! The backseats were horrible! Have you ever compared the Eclipse with the Accord? And what can you tell me about the MPG? Thats another thing, i dont like to drive like very fast so i dont if the V6 will be a problem and im a little concern about V4, i think is a little small for the Accord??

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Good choice! It's gorgeous. Before my Accord, I had an 2009 Cobalt coupe. Rear-wheel drive isn't really an option for me up here in New England, so I had to stick with front-wheel drive. And is the 2.5 V6 enough for you? I find my mom's 328xi sluggish compared to my V6 Accord. The Accord handles well, however this is where the BMW has it beat.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Yes, it was. That might have been a little unclear. I have no regrets accepting it over my previous car, I guess that's what I was trying to say.

[@LiMassacre]

I really want the V6 I like the extra power and the dual exhausts. Right now I am debating between the 10 and 09 I dont know if there are any big differences?

[@Rangerfull3]

How did it turn out? There are some good deals on the internet.. I've seen the EX-l V6s go for around $22k w/ 10k miles

[@shadower1928]

I'm thinking about getting this car....I have heard complaints of loud wind noise inside the cabin, is this true?

[@Echo19Audio]

Hey man, it's been a while since posting this. Looking at a used 09' Accord with about 98k miles. 1 owner and just about the same specs, with the addition of a nav system and the awesome sound system these vehicles have (model pending at least). Any weird issues with the car I should know about before going out and purchasing one of these? It can be maintenance, electronics, etc...

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

+IntrepidGaming Hey! Definitely make sure that the interior is in good shape. Some of these Accords have worn really quickly... luckily mine hasn't. Also, check for any oil consumption issues with the engine too. I don't mean to scare you away, these are just some of the common problems of these generation Accords. I luckily have not had any of them yet!

[@Echo19Audio]

+ACCORDingtoTom Thanks for the reply! Yeah the interior is practically brand new. It looks and feels nice. The guy said he used it for sales back and forth. When I test drove it, the transmission seemed a little jerky at times, may just need a flush. The rear driver tire will need a speed balance too. I'll look into oil consumption, as you just confirmed some of the other articles I've read about keeping this type of car up. I'm a GM buyer and it takes a lot to impress me with foreign vehicle manufacturers like Honda or Toyota. This car has really impressed me so far. Did you replace your tires from the Continentals yet?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Honda transmissions tend to get jerkier over time. I have about 76K on the car now. Honda just recommends that the fluid is changed every 30K, so make sure you do that if it hasn't been changed within that window. The Continentals haven't been replaced yet as I am currently running Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires. I think I'll replace them with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3's in the summer.

[@Echo19Audio]

+ACCORDingtoTom - Alright. Thanks for the info! How much did the snow tires run you?

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

I bought a 16" rim and tire package from Tire Rack and it was about $900 for the package. It definitely was worth it (and downsizing from 18's) because I deal with a lot of snow in the Northeast US.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Very clever ;) twins! And go Apple!

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Thank you! And yes, I shot it with my iPhone! Sometimes the quality is good, other times it is not.

[@nbkking]

I hear you like it from the back lol

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

That's awesome! It's a great car :)

[@guitarraveboy]

Ya im thinkin about buying one.

[@oHeihei]

I listen to AM radio because I have no aux jack or cd player XD haha. (I drive a 95 camry right now >.> Yuck) Hopefully I'm getting this car tomorrow or the next day to FINALLY I'll be able to listen to my own tunes :D

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

@videogamr01 Honestly, I'm not sure I would either. I'm only averaging 18 mpg anyway... and the manual would be worse. The transmission works well, I'm happy with it :)

[@cgtigrad]

Nice ride I own a white one!! 2010 other than that same thing as yours.. awesome car!! I LOVE IT

[@MehmetALi-ji8os]

How is gasoline ?

[@jvmalum]

ACCRD spacious comped to altima coupe, Accord quality, fit, finish and materials are clearly better. Honda makes the best most reliable engines. my 2012 Accord achived 27 mpg in a mix of hyway and city, I expect to get atleat 30 on long trips, around town only I got 23. Lets face it, depends on how much U can resist playing with the power. I don't have to be th first person of the line every time. waited 3 months to deside against altima, it was a clear choise. Altima not quite in same class.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

She has a BMW 328i xDrive. I have a few videos of it on my channel!

[@eden20111]

i saw this car at the honda dealership for 20,000 and has 30K. it looked really cool. im gonna c if i can make the guy drop it to 19 or 18 grand

[@juiceflippin24]

lol awsome.. #FACEOFNEWENGLAND,,,

[@DrDank.P.E.]

@hiptochromniack, I actually have a 89 Lxi and about about to get this car this week

[@averageguytested]

you shot this vid with an iPhone?? WOW!

[@thames33]

pls remove the apple stickers

[@Josh_GT500]

I wouldn't want the 6spd in this car. The gas mileage is considerably worse than in the auto version. The 6spd version doesn't have the cylinder deactivation feature.

[@dendav9678]

Nice did

[@unreal3010]

Lmao "strats right up, no problem there" No shit, the car has 29k why wouldn't it start.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

@ccc09210 No, you can keep your 94 Camry :P

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

@jamali99 Thanks so much! :)

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

That video is on my channel. Go check it out!

[@guitarraveboy]

Wow wish I could be given a car and didn't have to work for it. Can you drive it yet? how about posting a video of you driving it, prop up your phone on the dash and lets see some driving.

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

LOL oh gosh ;)

[@ACCORDingtoTom]

Lol I honestly need to...

[@erikkkherreraa]

@sajad000 they get 15k presents because their parents are succesful and hardworking ...
