2012 Honda Accord Review EXL-V6

[@rickyd6635]

I've had the car for more than a year now and its running great. I haven't had any issues at all. Plenty of power and very stylish. I've had many compliments about my car and it feels great. I highly recommend you by the V-6. A lot more power, almost doubled than the V-4.

I just bought My 2012 Black Honda Accord ExL- V6 with Navigation with only 26,000 miles a week ago. Brand spanking New condition, like you would buy straight New. Got it for $13,975. Can't complain it's fully loaded!

[@charliebowman785]

Congrats for your beautiful Accord. I have my own Accord 2006 also V6 with original aileron, backup camera, and all in white. Also a real beauty. I'm in love with Accords.

[@pwnageproduct]

I have a 3.0L V6 VTEC LX 2000 accord 4spd auto. I am a senior in highschool and I am loving it!!! I can't wait till I go to university and buy a new accord with all the features! Just a great all around car made by Honda!!

[@Maxdouble07]

Thanks I just bought me one of these today my friend! Same color black!! I love it

[@SuperTheBryan]

i just got this car same year/model but with gps love it :D drives soo smooth

[@noelevans68]

I'm getting ready to buy a 2012 Exl. This car you have is loaded exactly how the one I found hear in Oklahoma City. I enjoyed your walk around and now I'll know how to work everything.

[@shawnhammock8032]

I just got a 2009 honda accord myself love it

[@rickyd6635]

Yea, it's a great car in all and its going to last you forever. I took a look at the 2013 Honda Accords and I hate the body, it doesn't have that sporty look anymore. I love the 2008 -12 models best.

[@dramani100]

I have same model v6 exl 2005, with 260 k miles or (420k kilometers) on it engine is perfectly running fine in 2016. I am surprised to see honda has hardly made any change from 2005 to 2012 except blue tooth I was hoping to see some intense tech advancements like side and back view camera etc. My mechanic made me aware of the fact that v6 accords with high milage has issue of car skipping the gears right after transmission fluid change he told me if that happed they wont be liable for it however my car never had such issues so far. on a lighter note it was funny to hear americans call it moon roof what we call sun roof in canada.

[@aaraizm]

No I’m in Canada and they’re two separate things. Moon roof extends to the back. Sunroofs are only the small ones near the front

I have a red basque pearl 2011 Accord Ex-l v6 and I wanna add a spoiler like yours on it. Did you have a dealer install it? Is it easy to install?

[@rickyd6635]

Baasil F. I had the dealer install it so I wouldn't know but I actually like the deck lid spoiler now. It suits the car more, but I just recently added a blinker module to my wing spoiler, so every time I break it blinks a few times then goes solid red.

[@b.f.378]

How much they charge to install it? You prolly know someone there so you prolly didn't pay much lol. Yea I might get the decklid spoiler. Only problem with that is that it doesn't really stand out that much. It looks barely there

[@rickyd6635]

Baasil F. The wing spoiler or my module? The spoiler I had done for free and the module cost me around $30. Tell me that doesn't look better than the wing spoiler!

[@rickyd6635]

Ricky D'Agostino I put an image of a car but I guess it didn't work.

[@b.f.378]

I'm sorry, what's the module? Are you referring to your spoiler as the module?

[@omarbanderas5044]

hello , I have the same car , but my little brother lost the owners manual and i did not know that until last week when i wanted to find some info about my car , last time I was cleaning in it and somehow he open the glove box and took the book to play with it , do you know how I can get another owners manual ?

[@rickyd6635]

Yea. the spoiler makes a big difference but yea, with the ExL 4 cylinder you save a lot of money and gas money which is really important. The only difference with my car is the v6 has 270 horse power and the grill but everything else is pretty much the same. And I live in Alexandria.

[@themiddlekingdom9121]

Beautiful car, if you want to keep your car clean and spotless, please do not eat or drink anything in your car !

[@Yaboringme]

How is it running now? We just bought one on Saturday similar to yours

[@19320000000000]

Does Hondas v6 engines last as long as there 4 cylinder engines?

[@rickyd6635]

+Me. Boombuyay That's actually a good question, I really don't know but I can tell you that any Honda engine will last a lifetime with the proper care and maintenance. Honda engines usually are never a problem. One thing I learned from MANY people is that the V4 burns engine fuel a lot faster. I think they might have done a recall on the 8th generations from 2008 -2010 about that. Other than that it comes down to preference if you want that extra horsepower or you can go without and save a little on gas money.

[@mrhawk1924]

Yes. But I have a Veloster Turbo Hyundai 2016 on my channel

[@erazlle]

So im getting 2012 honda accord ex-l 2.4. Is there big difference between 2.4 vs V6?

[@b.f.378]

super bad ninja yo waddup homie yea the power. V6 is 3.5 L....2.4 is 4 cylinder

[@rickyd6635]

super bad ninja yo waddup homie Like Baasil said, the power is a big difference, the V4 pushes 177 horse power and the V6 270 horse power. I always recommend the V6 because in any emergency situation you have that extra power.

[@jeb721]

+Ricky D'Agostino "Emergency Situation". Hah. I think that's code for... fun to step on. 2015 V6 owner here. Honda V6's are smooooth.

[@rickyd6635]

+jeb721 LMFAO very true!!!

[@justshady]

I have the v6 go for it. People try to test you because you're driving a Honda, sometimes I just hit the gas to surprise them.

[@shawnhammock8032]

Yep they seem really big compared to the past models I have the spolier like you to mine is the ex-l just with the 4 cylinder

[@ryanflippin1243]

Nice car! I think we will be buying this vehicle, what if any is your biggest complaint about the vehicle?

[@rickyd6635]

Sorry for the late reply!! If you bought the car already then you made the right choice. I really don't have any big complaints, just some cheap parts that I wish Honda would have upgraded but other than that, it's a sweet ride. Thanks for the compliment bro!

[@mrjasonm.7397]

17inch wheels not 18s.

[@ryanflippin1243]

Good review

[@gregmarks5218]

"Really Cool"

[@Breyfogle126]

Don't forget, "Really Nice"

[@rickyd6635]

I highly recommend the 2013 Honda Accord Because its a lot bigger and roomier compared to the Sentra. Nissan and Honda both make excellent cars so there both well choices. If you're thinking about getting the Honda Accord, you should look into the Nissan Altima. They're in the same class unlike the Sentra because of its size.

[@shawnhammock8032]

What part of va do you live in

[@19320000000000]

Nice car

[@nickrah1737]

[@migueldelaguira8421]

[@shawnhammock8032]

Nice I live in lynchburg va so your not to far away

[@mrhawk1924]

Tint them windows.. I'll look better

[@Yaboringme]

How is it running now? We just bought one on Saturday similar to yours

[@rickyd6635]

Let me tell you I still love my car. I think it is one of the sharpest looking cars out there. Now I did do a couple of mods and stuff which I will be posting videos of soon. If you have the V6 like I do, it's very fun on the road. I haven't had any problems with this car at all except for a couple of rattling noises but that's Honda. Car's running smooth, interior is great! I've had it for 2 years and 4 months, and the only thing I needed to replace were the brake pads and rotors; somehow mine warped. Other than that, she is running beautifully.

[@AmorVitae93]

Ricky D'Agostino i had a Honda civic 2007 coupe i purchased it in 2009 it was an awesome car however the paint started coming off [hondas paint quality is shit] i ended up selling it & purchasing a Toyota Corolla S 2010 (good car but missed my honda) soo i gave the toyota to my fiance ended up getting a 2012 honda accord coupe. Same as urs same trim & chrome accessories. Any advice to maintain the paint quality

[@rickyd6635]

FRANCES GOMEZ Sorry for the late response but your absolutely right! The paint quality for Honda is terrible especially for our black accords. The best thing to do is to clear bra the car but only when its new. Its useless to clear bra it when you driven a lot and there are chips in the front bumper already. One thing you could do but it is costly is repaint the front bumper and then clear bra it and you'll never have issues with that. Other important areas that I would clear bra as well are the side view mirrors and the hood. Another thing you could do is go to the Honda dealership and ask for the Resist all Enviro Guard Next Generation. Its a extra coat on the car that protects the paint from many things and you'll never have to wax it ever again, but unfortunately it's costly as well. The last things you can do is wax it which takes up a lot of time but it gets the job done.

[@AmorVitae93]

Yea that what I did the wax lol. Thanks for your response better late than never. I got the black box car wax so far so good it disguised all those little tiny ANNOYING white scratches
