2010 Honda Accord EX Manual Review - This Should Be Your First Car!

[@the_random9718]

I’ve always loved the look of these late 2000s, early 2010s Accords

[@manuelsanchez5028]

Could never get into the look of the rear wide until 2013+ or whenever they had their redesign. Love the front side though. Gonna try to keep my 2001 Accord running before I get a newer one.

[@Cubemaster]

It was just 2008-2012 with a refresh in 2011

[@robertferretti7990]

Best since 1996

[@thejaredev]

I got a 2012 Honda Accord LX and it's about the same as this model. Basically my first car and I love it. Been a good reliable car to me. There is a secret to the key fob. Press the unlock button once and then again on the hold and all the windows roll down and moonroof at the same time

[@edgaryzen4925]

Everyone is different. Nothing wrong with me lol

[@Jack-yw7bq]

I find it mind blowing that you can press the key fob and press hold to make the windows and moonroof roll up, down, and open

[@bwofficial1776]

@@Jack-yw7bq Nissan has that trick, but only for opening the front windows.

Honda has always been in the top tier when it comes to manual transmissions. I’ve owned several and they’ve all been great.

[@tadpole1225]

I actually had a 2009 LX-P Automatic as my first car. Loved it as a first car and would definitely recommend it for the average person. If I had a Manual transmission or the V6... Or both... I would've kept it. Regardless, great car. Miss it every now and then.

[@SkylineFTW97]

Shame you couldn't get the V6 and manual with the sedan...except for the 7.5 gen (2006-2007). I have one and I spent years trying to get my hands on 1. Tried to buy 3 before my 06, but they got scooped up.

[@jsinister_vq8303]

I just bought one of these for 3800 bucks. freaking love it! automatic of course, but same exact color

[@bwofficial1776]

It's all the car most people need. It's simple, reliable, and efficient. It still looks decent today, the design has aged well. It's got just enough angularity to still look fresh. It's cool that the original owner specced a manual, manuals were getting rare back then. Honda kept manuals in the Accord longer than any of their competitors. My first car was a manual. It was fun to flex in the high school parking lot and it was also just fun to drive. It had a light but long travel hydraulic clutch so it was easy to feather. The gearshift was long but also light so I always knew when it was going into gear. Shifting took a while but it wasn't a fast car anyway. I was never temped but it's hard to use your phone and drive a manual car.

[@spicytuna62]

This is THE car I want to drive. I have a manual Prelude for weekend drives, but it's so much fun that I kind of daily it over my auto Civic. So now, for a reliable daily, I really want an 8th gen manual Accord sedan. Specifically the sedan because I want it to be useful, too. It's been well known for decades that Honda makes some of the best manual transmissions on the planet. Not only do they feel good to shift, but they just go forever. That Prelude has over a quarter million miles on it, and it's still chugging along.

[@thevacdude]

Love these 8th gen Accord's, a lot. In fact, I like them to the 5th gen Camry's. These are such great, reliable cars. You can't go wrong with one.

[@robertferretti7990]

I love you man! And I love this transmission too! Had a manual 96 accord when I was young and loved it for 200,000 miles. Just picked one of these up last night in black. My son is turning 16 soon and he doesn't quite realize how lucky he is. Cheers!

[@TonyGoff-Yu]

I passed my test when I was 16 and didn't own a car till I was 35. My first car was a somewhat dented £100 Honda Civic. Great car to get back into driving so this video makes a lot of sense to me 😀

[@Ricchmic]

U the craziest asspunk I have seen

[@willmatic84]

I had a 1986 accord coupe with the flip lights 😋👌🏽 keep them videos coming

[@Redwood21]

Lx sedan automatic 2010 mom bought it when i was 7, gave it to me when i was 16, some chick pulled out in front of me last month and now its totaled. i am devastated. this car always always worked no matter how hard i pushed it, the handling was fantastic - very fun to drive on mountain roads, and on top of that i averaged 24 mpg. i wouldve driven it until it broke

[@jlr194]

I never even knew there was a manual option for these , I thought they were all automatic, pretty cool

[@CarolinaCycloneJames]

The only thing to look out for in these cars are the vtec solenoid leaking and the key fob. The screws go missing alot and if not they are cheaply made so even with the screw the plastic breaks and tears apart

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

Yea, because it costs 300 dollars to replace it and program it.

[@thee-wastegamer4044]

I've driven both engines (although the J30 V6 was an 07). The I4 motor is fine and fun in it's own right, it's a K series motor after all. I wouldn't spend the premium on the V6 motor unless the chassis and running gear are in great condition. That should be the biggest priority for an Accord buyer. The V6 is faster and has far more low end torque, but in my experience with the motors the clutch always felt far more responsive in the I4 vehicle.

[@applepoop10]

Big problem with the V6's is that they don't have much aftermarket support and the VTEC system only on the intake camshaft. Its designed for economy in mind. I had a J30 accord in the past and it was okay, just not particular fast. If you want a fast J35 Honda, get an Acura TL Type-S

[@ChuiStrong]

A lot of people don't know this, but when this car came out it was criticized for being too ugly, big, and heavy. They cheapened out compared to the refreshed version of the 7th generation Accord. A time during the 2008 economic crisis where it showed. A time where Hyundai Sonatas were gaining in popularity because it arguably looked better (as a sedan) and offered better standard features. In my opinion, where this generation succeeded was its typical reliability. This was towards the end of the K24 era where Honda fixed the transmission issues that plagued it two generations before it and before they went to a more complicated direct injection a generation later.

[@joshbeetham4179]

Zach it’s really exciting to see your views consistently growing I watch all your stuff ❤️❤️

[@cadillacnational7539]

Ironic that you did this generation Honda Accord I just bought a 2011 Honda Accord 2.4l with auto.

[@williamfurlan9176]

For me the top feeling honda trans is 06-07 Accord v6 (3rd gear aside). That being said, the easiest car to drive hands down would be these. So smooth, super easy clutch, all just right.

[@dave11686]

It’s definitely cool that it’s a M/T

[@b.f.378]

love my 2011 Accord V6. Best car. I got A few mods here and there keep it looking/feeling modern

[@WeisserAudi]

I really want a V6 one as a daily that could also gap some new edge mustangs

[@SkylineFTW97]

I have the previous gen with the V6 and 6 speed. It catches most people by surprise.

[@juarezsanchez4428]

The fact that it's manual is awesome.

[@taylorjefferson9245]

This is a lx model. The ex models have leather and dual ac with a larger display. I think this is a Lx definately. Absolutely right about the key, just replaced mine

[@alexsummaria371]

Ex-l has leather, and lx-ex have cloth

[@ChuiStrong]

It's got a moon roof, so it has to be at least an EX. This one confused me, since I thought EXs has automatic climate control. This one didn't. It has the alloys and the 6 disc CD changer which meant it isn't an LX.

[@Redwood21]

this is the ex model. the ex-l has leather (thats what the l means) also the big knob on the stereo is the selection/tuning knob and not the volume/power knob like it is on the lx model. source: i have the lx model.

[@Spheredalai]

crazy to see Honda always made perfect manual transmissions but decided to put a worse MTs on Acura

[@lethargicstove2024]

I'm looking at a 2008 right now with 134k miles I hope I can get it ‼️

[@lethargicstove2024]

I didn't get it

[@spicytuna62]

Funny quirk that really only applies to me. My 2010 Sequoia Platinum holds only 4 CDs. That car probably cost just south of $70k new. This mid-trim Honda Accord holds 6 CDs. I have a bunch of CDs and I do use my cars' CD players.

[@mrjustcausegames5330]

Jeep owners cry when they hear how reliable Hondas are

[@TheFalseProdigy]

Honda has always made the best shifters hands down, better than Porsche, better than corvettes, better than whoever you wanna compare them to. I’ve never felt a better shifter than Honda’s

[@akmc3313]

im surprised you diddnt show how to roll down the windows with the key fob

[@Texasgirl2023]

I’m thinking about buying a automatic with the mileage of 158,607. Is that good or is it too high mileage for this year car? Also, is the engine good on this type model and is there a lot of oil leaks? I heard it happens with a lot of Honda Accord‘s but I wasn’t for sure about this model.

[@sunsetwolf1553]

my first car was a navy blue 2002 chevy cavalier base model automatic sedan.

[@CudiFan224]

Yea rarer, I always thought you can only get a manual in the coupe for this generation of accords I thought the manual in the sedans was available until 07

[@SkylineFTW97]

It was available until 2019 actually. The coupe was discontinued along with the 9th gen after the 2017 model year. What you're probably thinking of is getting a sedan with both the manual and the V6, which they only offered for 2 years, 2006 and 2007. And those are extremely rare. I own an 06 in that spec and I've only ever seen a total of 3 of them (including mine). The 4 cylinder manuals are fairly common, I've seen tons of those and owned a few including 2 2013s (1 silver LX and 1 black Sport, both sedans)

[@CudiFan224]

@@SkylineFTW97 Yea I know that I just mean that for the 2008-2012 and the 2013-2017 the manual was only in the coupes and ofc in the current gen with either the 1.5T and 2.0T

@@CudiFan224 I love my 06. The 7.5 gen manual V6 sedan is definitely my favorite Accord they ever sold in the US. ~250hp, sub-6 second 0-60, easy to maintain, and flies under the radar.

@@SkylineFTW97 it really does man they sleep on it like the V6 Accords arent sport cars but like at the same time it is? hahaha they're sweet and any manual no matter the horsepower is the best drive still need to learn Ive only had one manual lesson but still my favorite driving experience to this day! #SavetheManuals

[@agingmillennialmainer]

I had a 2010 coupe for about 6 years. Most fun car I have ever had, handling wise. Also I think this might be a transmission swap? I think Honda only gave MTs on the coupes. I could be wrong.

[@datdemoman1145]

The sedans came in manual on these gens

[@SkylineFTW97]

Nope, you can get the manual with the sedan, but only on the 4 cylinder for all but the facelifted 7th gen (2006 and 2007). I have an 06 that's a manual V6 sedan (in my opinion, the best one. I know the 10th gen 2.0s are faster, but it's not the same. Plus they're not as simple or durable).

I would love to own this car, specifically the coupe version, because i like bigger front doors. I wonder if the rear sears in the coupe have the same leg room?

[@siremizer9876]

I own a 2010 Honda Accord coupe i4 and yes the coupe does have a good amount of space for the rear seats and cup holders on both sides in the rear. They also have a spacious trunk like the sedan. I’m 5 ft 10 and my head does touch the ceiling in the rear but in my driving position leg room isn’t an issue.

[@NEW_CHANNEL772]

I got this car gifted to me which is the best of both worlds but mines automatic

[@edgaryzen4925]

Decent but boring. Audio jack and USB drive, basic radio and that's it. Bluetooth for media streaming isn't available, not even for the top trim level. Entertainment leave alot to be desired. Bluetooth capability became standard in next generation year of 2013+ model year. 6 speed manual option is available and get a bit better MPG. Funny enough, my first new car was the 10 EX AT sedan and had own it for 3 years. Reliable as I had driven from Montana to California and vice versa without problem but don't really miss it. MPG is 21-31. Not ideal in 2022. Big fuel tank btw which is decent I guess.

[@trumpsmum9210]
