2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring Review - A K-Tuned Super Sedan!

[@yrasphong]

V6 accord always been the best honda

[@billyjoejimbob56]

Bought a 2013 Accord EX-L V6 new... same powertrain. At ten years and 126K miles it still looks and drives like new. I can afford a new car... but I don't want one any time soon!!!

[@georgegabriel7766]

@@billyjoejimbob56 did you change the timing belt?

[@billyjoejimbob56]

@@georgegabriel7766 Update: Now 11+ years and 142K miles. Still solid and reliable. Yes... had the timing belt replaced by a dealer. Also replaced the tensioner, water pump and serpentine belt as a package deal.

[@damilolaakanni]

This is one of the best looking Accord generations, right up there with the 7th and 8th generation. The current 10th generation has a front end that's very busy.

[@davewilson7602]

The new 11th is on their website I think it brings back some of the older accords styling it’s very clean

[@LousWRX]

Thanks for the awesome review of my 2014 Accord V6, Zack. Fantastic work, and glad you enjoyed it.

These cars are sleepers, alongside the Camry V6, to a degree. It's a shame that Honda decided to ditch this engine for a turbocharged 4 cylinder and then discontinue the manual transmission in 2020.

[@LamoidZombieDog]

It definitely sucks.

[@turbocharged9589]

Pretty much same mods on '17 Touring but full catless, trans tuning, few other things and delivering surprise gaps to everything from STIs, 370Z/G37s, to pre Coyote Mustangs and pre 392 Chargers and Challengers makes quite the fun DD 👌 J35 is top notch

[@tayumapower]

I have a 2010 TSX V6, the powerband is so smooth. Absolutely love this little thing

[@hukmai]

The J35 is a gem of engine despite its age...just remember to change your timing belts and adjust your valve lash!

[@mrdave777]

J35 in TL Type S. All that needs to be said! Lol.

[@brentbeardsley655]

I fully recommend deleting the VCM with a muzzler. I used the S-VCM and am happy with it. All kinds of problems are caused by the crappy VCM switching between 3 and 6 cylinders. Excessive oil consumption, fouled plugs and worn engine mounts are the most common problems. Delete that VCM and this is a great car!

[@oldtwinsna8347]

@@brentbeardsley655160k on mine, zero problems. amazing 40mpg long highway roadtrips credited to the amazing vcm system. works so beautifully, not sure why people have issues.

[@fabyrbl8177]

i like the 2007 accord , idk why... but they are rare and sell for quite a bit here

[@williamfurlan9176]

I'm glad you called out the blind spot camera, I have an 18 Fit ex with it and love love love it. You can sneak at onramps before really the mirror. But the decided it was easier to go with indicator lights in the mirrors opposed to cameras in each. It's across all models and I think changed in 2020.

[@fzr1000981]

Bought my 2014 V6 Accord for....wait for it....$9k (52k miles). It's been stone reliable

[@mythicmind]

Mind sharing where from or was it a private seller? Dealships selling the v6 version for 14-17k is ridiculous.

[@fzr1000981]

@@mythicmind SC used car dealer, now out of business I still see some for around 14-16k

[@p.diocee8177]

At 2:31 the rarest 9th gen accord passes you, a still night pearl V6 coupe with the HFP body kit

[@ShootingCars]

Nice spot!

[@videogamenoob100]

If only they could have made the v6 with the sport package!

[@celsovera91]

Just like the accord, the last two generations of civic actually did had the blind spot camera but only on the higher trims. Both current generations of accord and civic have Blindspot monitors like every other car. The camera was cool work but my only gripe it was only on the passenger side you were pretty much screwed on the driver side

[@thecarexpert21]

Awesome review! I've got the I4 version and love the thing. Definitely still a handsome looking car as I've gotten a surprising amount of compliments from family/neighbors.

[@sevenheaven7233]

I brought the 2013 v6 sedan new with all options, has 70k miles on it beside the starter issue all is well

[@Vonteufel1]

this is my car, i have one with 145K. this vid is my shit.

[@lastwhtknight3002]

Gr8 car.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Crazy as it sounds blind-spot cameras have been on European and Japanese car since the 90s just over in Europe and Japan you won't see them here

[@lastwhtknight3002]

[@rasstor]

the best sedan ever made !!!

This will be my car. Love it!

[@jaxripper251]

Well did you buy it?

[@turtsw]

Just bought this car used with 108k on it and was well maintained. Baby miles for this car. Honda has me addicted to their cars now. I dont think I would shop elsewhere, maybe Mazda

[@dylanmcown3d]

Got my 2013 Honda Accord EXL V6 with 70k miles for 10k. So happy with it.

[@lolaiiwii]

Great price, I'm looking at a 2015 72k for $18k

Great videos. Content subscriber! Honda is incredible. Acura is prestigious. Toyota is supposedly No 1, I disagree.

[@Cbennett2000]

Really nice review, honestly.

[@arleydiaz7755]

Nice review, good and simple explanation, thank you

[@JDMSwervo2001]

The only issue with these cats is the transmission is weird shifting and a little clunky

[@LousWRX]

Yeah, I can definitely agree with that, I also read that even the newer 10 speed transmission with 2.0T Accord is not the smoothest either, which surprised me.

[@fzr1000981]

It's fine in sport mode

[@damilolaakanni]

I read somewhere that Honda's automatic transmissions were designed like their manual transmissions, so that may explain why they shift weird.

[@paulnicolofsilla4441]

Underrated car from honda imo.

[@LamoidZombieDog]

Not sure what you think you are feeling but these automatics with VCM do NOT have VTEC, VCM REPLACES VTEC

[@LousWRX]

I'm the owner of this car, and the vehicle uses i-VTEC (you can even see it imprinted onto the engine cover at 1:42). VCM has nothing to do with vtec, that is what deactivates 3 cylinder at higher speeds to improve MPG's, but I have it disabled through the ktuner. You can also modify which RPMs you want for the ivtec to kick in as well with the ktuner. The manual 6 speed 9th Generation Accord V6 has a slightly different variant of Vtec, though, but both engines do indeed have it, how ever the manual version doesn't use the cylinder deactivation feature as it is not to designed to work with manual transmission vehicles.

[@LamoidZombieDog]

@@LousWRX I own both a 2012 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6, and a 2015 Honda Crosstour EX-LN V6 4WD, my accord has a J35Z2, which has ivtec and VCM. Having VCM for mine, which is an automatic means it does not have VTEC on the intake or exhaust, and when it activates it does nothing. My Crosstour has a J35Y1, which is what the 9th gen accords with autos use, it also has ivtec and VCM, but Honda did manage to have both VCM and VTEC on the exhaust, so it does partially have VTEC unlike my 8th gen accord, and so does your car. Back 6 months ago I did not own the crosstour and was not aware that Honda was able to add vtec into the 9th gen accords engine, but either way it's still not full intake and exhaust VTEC. With the V6 it's also barely utilized since by the time you are at a high enough rpm for it to activate, it's ready to shut off because the car has to shift unlike an i4 that holds a gear for a lot longer. But that's a different problem.

[@shaanp_2260]

I have a 2015 Accord V6 Touring same color, touring gives the cool led's up front which is nice.

Bro how old are you? You said you grew up with the 2014 Accord as a kid. Then you have video of 2020 with you on a bike near a mid 2010s Accord. This video came out in 2022. So you are so nostalgic about 2 years ago? I'm going to guess you're like 18-21 if you "grew up" in 2014-2020.

I remember in one of his videos he mentioned he was born in 1997? Or 1996. It's one of them lol

[@cooperfranklin2455]

Just because he’s on a bike doesn’t mean he’s a kid 😂

I guess what he was trying to say was that he had a childhood friend who owns (or used to own) one of these.

[@damilolaakanni]

It's actually very reliable. Just delete the VCM on the V6 engines and keep up with maintenance and you'll be fine. PS: the V6 engines are belt driven, so you'll have to change the timing belt regularly.
