With the transmission I did a 3 dump and fill around 20,000 km ego and it's still looks brand new and no smells. I noticed when I drive it with normal unleaded 91 octane the engine pings a little so I have been driving it with 95% octane and it's fun to drive plenty of power and no pinging whatsoever

So I know you're in a different country but let me say this......... I OWN THE VERY VERY RARE VERSION OF THIS THE 2004 V6 6-SPEED MANUAL COUPE WITH THE HFP HONDA FACTORY PERFORMANCE PACKAGE With that you get a front lip or a front chin spoiler depending on what you call it a rear lip side skirts spoiler hfp bigger and wider Wheels better brake package strut bars sway bars leather seats heated seats hfp suspension that's lowered from the factor Now the coupe paired with the six-speed manual like I have with the hfp package looks way more aggressive than any other Accord from 2003 to 2007 even the coops without the hfp package and my opinion are ugly...... But when you see them with the hfp kit it's like a completely different car.. and with coilovers camber kits other suspension work done I've even added better Wheels than what came with the hfp that are wider better for track I've added the j37 3.7 V6 intake manifold and throttle body the precat deletes and rv6 V3 J pipe which is essentially a header for this car that eliminates all three catalytic converters a full 2.5 in catback dual exhaust a true cold air intake and got the computer chipped and Dyno tuned with hondata and I will say this right now that 3.0 V6 will keep up and even beat some lightly modified 3.5 and 3.7 in the newer Accord coupes and Acuras here in the states Believe me when I say I was only a Civic CRX Integra or Honda S2000 guy I've owned 15 Hondas throughout my life and I'm only 29 I work at a shop and was never ever ever ever ever ever a fan of the Honda Accord never liked them your Euro Honda Accord is essentially an accurate TSX here in the states those are all right but then again they made the TL Acura which comes with the V6 3.5 l or 3.2 if you don't get the type S the k series is an amazing engine you can do so much with them but I never gave credit to the J series V6 until I owned this Coupe that's 60k original miles one owner car the rarest one they made only 500 of this particular one they did make a Accord Coupe from 2008 to 2012 and then the final generation 2013 to 2017 both of those newer generation coupes had 3.5 l in them But these 3.0 with full bolt-ons and a Dyno tune can do some serious damage and I pissed off a lot of friends with bolt on and tuned k-series cars yes people expected a little more because mine has the hfp package and looks like a sporty car compared to the base model coupes or the sedan but the amount of V8 and other cars 370Z 350Z I've been able to keep up or beat I think it amazes me just as much as it amazes other people Sorry for the long comment but man you guys are missing out over there if you could drive the 6-speed manual version of that whether it was the sedan or the hfp coupe I think you would love it over your Euro version with that k series version in the euro is an amazing car but something about the V6 manual Coupe is just a whole different beast

Accords are really good all-around cars as long as people don't expect too much out of them. I bought a CM8 6MT last year and it provides a nice combination of comfort, power and reliability. I tend to think of it as a "dad's car", which is okay as I'm a dad. But a driver's car it isn't. The engine is actually pretty nice, but I'll never fully warm up to the front wheel drive.

I couldn't agree more with the essence of this video. We bought a new corolla back in 2002. It was the base model and was a decent vehicle. Fast forward a decade and I bought my first Sportivo Corolla and the difference was night and day from the povo spec but it was still lacking in stock form. I didn't truly appreciate it and sold it. Fast forward another decade and I found myself wanting another Sportivo Corolla but this time I wasn't leaving it stock. So after 4 + years of owning my silver 03 Sportivo I still absolutely love it and cannot think of another car that looks better, handles better or sounds better for the same money.

I can’t say I’ve ever driven or even been in a CM6, but I did think they looked alright back when they were newer. I think the 8th gen’s 3.5 sounded more exciting and test drove one years back, seemed pretty boring. I remember thinking it was more of an old folks kind of car compared to the cd5 I had at the time. If either the 7th or 8th gen came out with the manual and coupe options, like the USDM models, I’d understand the hype behind them.
