2015 Honda Accord V6 Review

[@tonytarquinio6439]

I have been driving Honda four cylinder cars since 1982 and quite honestly, I am tired of having to go down to the passing gear just to get up an incline. They are reliable engines, no question but for me it is time for a change. I have driven several of the Honda Accord V6 autos and the power is there when you need it. The ride is smooth and confident and there is isn't much of an increase in fuel costs. Through our credit card companies we do receive cash back on our fuel purchases. There is now a caveat with a Honda four cylinder engine and that is, it will be hooked up to a CVT Transmission. That is an area you definitely want to steer clear of. Nothing but trouble, nothing but a lot of trouble. Regards, Tony

You are extremely knowledgeable about the product. Thank you for this video!

Its weird that honda uses chrome exhaust tips but acura the "sporty" luxury" brand hides the exhaust completely

[@gregdimas3011]

Purchased my 2015 Honda EX-L V6 a few months ago... Love it. I had aa Nissan Altima V6 before; the CVT was junk (failed quickly - like under 75k miles)

[@Deneice1]

Beautiful car, and fast!

[@jonf5620]

Same here ironically

Accord over Camry any day, cant beat a j series v6 paired with a Honda manual transmission

[@vinceteo7091]

I learned to drive on my dads 2006 accord sedan. I remember we put probably 240,000 km in the six years we owned it. Being the second owners we bought it off lease at 40,000km. Never had issues with the car and was bullet proof. Even when we bought a Toyota after the accord was still worth some money at 280,000, sometimes I wonder where it is today, if it’s in some scrap yard or if it’s off delivering pizzas, who knows.

Honda is the GOAT

[@AZNHELLCAT]

Had the 14" sport sedan trim and trade it for the 15" coupe EXL the top of the line for the coupe version with factory ground effect kit. Love everything about it. The V6 compare to the 4 cylinder on the sport trim is a lot different. More power of course but I notice the engine is more quiet when AC is on and etc. I just feel like the V6 would last a lot longer. More efficient all around.

[@davidjames4583]

i'm old school and yes it took a bit to get use to my Cvt in my 14 Accord Ex but now that i have had my car for a year I think that Honda's Cvt is awesome...drives as well as any of Honda's 5 speed automatics i have driven in the past...no shift shock when I press on the gas hard...just gets up and goes...don't get me wrong those of you who can afford the V6 / 6 speed obviously that's ithe way to go but in my opinion buying the 2.4 with Honda's Cvt is a smart buy as well...

[@Mihronohh]

I just bought the Honda Accord EX-L V6. Can't wait to get it on Tuesday hopefully! I'm going to install my own blue interior lights and blue sill illumination. Probably new rims too!

[@Unknown03642]

How much is the interior lights??

[@commandertaco1762]

If I can, I'm putting oldsmobile Aurora rims on mine, but making the center a Honda logo rather than an oldsmobile logo, I always liked those rims www.google.com/search?q=2001+oldsmobile+aurora+rims&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjq4sD-09DpAhUMz6wKHWxGD7gQ2-cCegQIABAC&oq=2001+oldsmobile+aurora+rims&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECAAQGFCTCFiTCGDMCWgAcAB4AIABdYgBdZIBAzAuMZgBAKABAbgBAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=Q5bMXqq1AYyeswXsjL3ACw&bih=718&biw=412&client=ms-android-att-us&prmd=sivn#imgrc=N_WA6b7XOtAyGM

And where did you find a 2015 with those kind of miles and at that price sir?

I just paid 14,800 for one with 130,000 :o

[@yoyozent]

I paid $15500 for 130k miles, in 2024

[@jlegresley]

It's NOT that we Canucks like the smaller cars. If the dealers would offer us the same (bigger) cars for the same price that they get in the US we'd be lining up around the block to buy them.

[@joedidit3233]

+John LeGresley - It's probably not the dealers fault. Most countries put such a high tariff on U.S. cars that it makes them hard to compete with domestic cars and other imports. Even when the car is actually made in that country.

[@Darksyne]

That's because this car is still based off of the 2012 Acura Tl but with active cylinder management and a bit of the interior features of the Tlx

[@04tsxpower]

Surprising to me you have so few subscribers. Your reviews are always thorough and in my opinion right on the money. Keep up the good work

[@npolite22]

CVT transmissions are terrible. The V6 is a better buy if you don't do city driving that much.

[@bungholio4747]

I bought the 2017 touring, that econ button is the bomb!! The car sipps gas 😁

[@philipjohn1338]

I am thinking about getting a v6 model, what is your average mpg on highway?

[@joe97478]

My only complaint in the past was that the Honda Accord wasn't nearly as quiet on the road as a comparable Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Buick or Chrysler. The road noise was always considerably louder in the Accord than the others. If they've finally given it a better sound deadening job, I would find the car a lot more desirable. Cabin noise is one of the things that really adds to driver fatigue on longer trips. Haven't had the opportunity to ride in an Accord for the last couple years, so things may have changed.

[@joe97478]

Since writing this comment, I've purchased a 2016 Accord v6 Touring. Had it for a little over 2 weeks now. It's a nice riding car, but isn't as smooth and doesn't have the placement on the road that the Chargers and 300c's have on the highway. But it's noticeably quicker than both of the V6 models of them. Doesn't seem to be quite as quiet as them either. Since the Touring as the 19 inch wheels, it's nice on extremely smooth roads, but you feel every little bump on anything but perfect roads. Not jarring or excessive, but still there, nevertheless. If you want a plush Buick or Chrysler like ride, then better to get the lower end model like the EX, EX-L or similar with the smaller wheels and tires, but get the V6. Gas mileage is good in the city, but excellent out on the road, especially if you put it in the economy setting. Acceleration is excellent. But with this much power on tap, you really become quickly aware of the downside of having front wheel drive, whereas it may not be as apparent on the 4-cylinder models. The extra power of the 3.5 V6 easily overwhelms the front wheel drive at times. If Honda had decided to make this car rear wheel drive, it could have been so much better.

[@BCJDM]

I remember seeing this car when it was new and thinking that the rear end especially the tail lights looked exactly like the first gen Hyundai Genesis, which is a good thing. Anyway great review Zack! I remember watching you on driving television!

[@jouncsenxie8984]

Hi. I'm about to buy a Honda Accord. I don't know which model I should get but for sure it's going to be a v6. But I don't know what is the navigation system also what's the difference between the touring and the exl v6. Size different, anything?

[@alexfoo5807]

Great review as always Zack. Is there any pros to getting the Coupe version of this car besides the more sporty appearance?

[@MagicMahn]

Alex G A lighter body. Pretty much it. Has more cons imo. Harder to get into the back seats haha

[@tony4us10]

Very nice review. Concise, to the point; none of the "this button...". You obviously are very knowledgeable about the car and it shows. Big thumbs up. Oh yeah BTW, you sold me on the car as well LOL

[@Motormouth...]

I appreciate that!

[@tonytarquinio6439]

When you quote dollar amounts are you quoting USA or Canadian? Thanks. And thanks for a very excellent video. Tony

[@iamgiovanny458]

Wish I would of got the V6 I have a 2015 Honda Accord with 50k miles but I wanted the v6 model more faster and more luxurious

[@natehiger410]

So I should buy a top accord or a base tlx?

[@laurenceoliver4900]

Excellent review.

[@elizabethmiranda7867]

hello love the video! question I am purchasing one of these 15 V6. they are offering extra warranty that I think it's a little high ! Do you think I should go with the extra warranty it covers all electrical after 12000 miles!. when the original warranty wears out and this vehicle I am purchasing is certified up to 100,000 miles not electrical. THE vehicle I'm purchasing already has 35,000 miles.

[@scorpionbeware]

Could u pls review VW 2015 Passat which has recently been launched in Europe. Is it available in Canada yet??

[@MT0070]

Really nice car for the price. I wonder why the sales are so poor in Canada? Maybe they need an AWD version?

[@Starchface]

***** If someone wants a car with AWD, there are other options. Notably, Subaru does well to maintain a full lineup of AWD vehicles while keeping prices out of the stratosphere. I'm no expert but I just can't see a place for a $40,000 Accord. Speaking of prices, I think that is the main issue. The vast majority of Canadians are not prepared to pay $100K, or even $50K for a passenger car. $30K is a lot more palatable. For us, value is a major concern. The wealthy may have something to say about that, but it doesn't matter-that tiny percentage may as well be on another planet. They are not representative of "regular" Canadians. I think it is also harder to finance an auto purchase here than in the US. It seems as if an entire industry of easy financing has developed in the US-perhaps too easy, judging by the popularity of another industry: repossession. We place more emphasis on paying for the car, than on trying to impress other people with it. Then there is the American love of large automobiles, which Canadians have traditionally eschewed. The Accord may not seem very large in the scheme of things, but it is larger than the Civic-and in Canada, it is the Civic that is the best seller (as Zack mentioned).

[@scorpionbeware]

Another good review. Could you please review the upcoming VW Passat?? In Canada, is Skoda superb available or not ??

[@Jabsy101]

He will most likely review the next generation VW Passat when it's released here in Canada next year. Skoda however, is not available for purchase in North America.

[@scorpionbeware]

[@trewebster5884]

I still think the 9th gen is the best accord

[@Paulose54]

Great, great great review as usual. The only thing that stop me from getting this baby is the fact that it's not RWD. And talking about design . I think you should get the A8 instead of the A7 . The A8 desing is more everything than your A7.

[@chickenfingers4519]

don't tell what to choose. It is not your money.

[@Jonathaneve5]

Honda Accord will never get RWD nor AWD.

[@tensevo]

How did I know you already had a pressure washer in the back?

[@freddieslaughter1107]

What is the difference between the touring and the ex-l?

[@han615]

Freddie Slaughter Touring comes with LED headlights and navigation and the EX-L is pretty much the same minus LED headlights and navigation but you can get navigation on v6 depends if the car already have it installed.

[@caldenn25]

Great informative review Zack. Keep up the good work. I was expecting this review from you. I have seen this car reviewed by other car journalists and most say that the for cylinder has enough power and the v6 is not really necesary. . What do you think?
