3 Year Update! 2007 Honda Accord 6 Speed Sedan

[@AustinMBecker]

Honestly, if I can find an Accord V6 w/ the 6 spd - I'd be so set! This car seems like a great option for those wanting more power, a smooth manual transmission, and enough space to fit some things. Definitely a sleeper sedan - one of my favorite cars from Honda!

@@armancha23 I’m looking at a black MT V6 109,000 it was a mechanics accord. Has Acura sway bars, upgraded headunit new tires, brakes, rotors they’re asking 9k which seems high. I am debating between this or a VW Golf GLI for a daily. Seeing it this week so hopefully he will take 8.2-8.5k don’t think it’s worth over that.

[@armancha23]

@@MADBROW sounds like a plan. It ended up costing me 7k after taxes and the airplane flight to pick up. Worth is over these newer $30k cars. VW are nice, but pray you never have to work on them. Accords are super easy to work on. I bet they take your fair offer.

[@MADBROW]

@@armancha23 that’s exactly my debate. Have a reliable car in the stable that’s on the lower end and last me the next 5 years or tap into being young and have something more youthful since I do only live once. Both will be financed for 2-3 years.

I was only 12 when this year’s model was released and my dad has an ‘07 Odyssey EX-L in Nimbus Gray with just over 120k miles, so this generation of Accord and yours in particular tug at my heartstrings quite a bit. This past July, I just upgraded from my first car, an ‘08 Civic LX in Galaxy Gray, to a ‘19 Accord Sport 2.0T and am just blown away.

[@danielbryan5689]

I love my '04 V6 6MT coupe! Bought her in March 2020 w/160k miles on the clock. I picked her up for around $1500. It had ABS codes (previous owner installed F/R wheel bearing the wrong way), check engine light (O2 sensors were aftermarket), and a damaged 4th gear synchro (rev match your downshifts folks). The next month, I took the engine, transmission, and ECU from an '05 TL 6MT. The car had 97k miles on it. These came with the J32a3 rated @ 270hp and 238 lb/ft and a limited slip differential. I've driven the car over 30k miles since then. Let me tell you something. This car is truly a gem, and it was and still is underappreciated. This car never left me stranded, is easy on my wallet, relatively cheap to insure (I live in NYC) and as long as you purchase quality parts for it, the car will stand the test of time. She isn't perfect; she's got bruises and scratches, torn leather seats (although the power seat works flawlessly), leaky power steering (a common problem with these cars) and the headliner is starting to sag, but many few cars offer such a perfect blend of performance, style, versatility and reliability. Put a nice catback exhaust on it and listen to that V6 sing! The 03-07 Accord V6 6MTs are truly one of Honda's best. Great video! Wishing you MANY more trouble-free miles! Keep it for as long as you can!

Bloody good cars I reckon, my 2004 interior is the same as yours, watch out for splits in the air box to throttle body air tube (it's sort of rubber and goes brittle after several years)... I'm in Australia and I think our imports were made in Thailand.. I do wish I had a 6 spd manual, couldn't find one anywhere.. Still happy tho..

[@IRWAutomotive]

My Subaru has the same design, but it's an electronic switch (as is the 10th gen). The 7th gen is mechanical so you don't have to disconnect the battery when spinning the piston back into the caliper

Hah! That explains why my rear brakes got shot so fast! Hah! I do alot of drifting in the winter up here in Alaska... Sadly I hit a snow burm out of the lake last weekend, so I had to stitch up some cracked bumper pieces

[@refineme]

Spark plugs are tight, but easy. You don’t need to pull the intake manifold. I can’t quite tell, but you might want to do the recall on the power steering hose. Mine eventually cracked so I did the free recall fix, and the hose is now metal where it runs between the firewall and the engine. I now have 247,000 miles on mine.

[@CTEytguy]

Does your 3rd gear feel notchy or a little hard to go into 3rd sometimes? My 06 v6 speed has always been a little harder to go into 3rd

[@jaydub5515]

Hah, I didn't realize this when I bought mine a year or 2 ago. The previous owner was sneaky with his duct tape. Color matched to the Interior... Started coming off a couple weeks later. Still, that's not that bad of an issue for our cars ages

The mount near the front of the engine doesn't seem too difficult to change, I might just have it replaced at the next timing belt service since it has to come off anyway.

[@midnightmystery544]

@@IRWAutomotive Good idea! I'm just going to let my dealer do it. It won't be much more than just doing the TB/WP job and I'm at 131K with no evidence if ever having been done before.

[@timperros8163]

Check your sunroof drain lines. Run some compressed air through the lines, that might be causing the rust.

[@Daschickenify]

The spark plugs like to back out on these engines. Allegedly the #5 plug is the worst, which I believe is towards the front of the car and in the middle. I checked mine when I bought the car with 135K miles, and my #2 plug was not even hand tight! Check yours!

Hm, weird that your Accord headliner is already sagging, I have an 03 EX-L V6 and the only hint of this is in the front on the A pillars (ever so slightly, barely noticeable) only about 1 or 2 inches tall. Though I did notice weird staining from what looks to be a liquid (faint, but noticeable) on both A Pillars. Any ideas?

[@blakeslocum2732]

Also the rust is interesting too.. Are you on the east coast? Maybe lower quality stuff in the newer models?

[@IRWAutomotive]

To my knowledge, the car has spent its life in PA and NJ so the the salt on the roads in the winter can be a losing battle with rust. Most 7th gen Accords I see in my area are rusted in the rear wheel wells so it must be a common issue

You will never notice if the passenger engine mount is bad. It has to be removed and checked. Probably was noticed bad when the timing belt was done. You can definitely change all plugs without removing the intake. Be careful removing #5.

I own a 6-6 and have driven it and an S2000 extensively, I think the S2000 sounds better. I'm a bit of a sucker for screamers, and the S2000 has a much more prominent VTEC transition. That being said, it is easier to be fast with the 6-6, the S2000 needs to rev to make power.
