What Makes The 7th Generation Honda Accord So Great?

[@miguelsierra9509]

I love this car. Fast ASF. The front lifts when you step on the gas. And just takes offs. Great motor

[@jaebae5706]

The 6 cylinders for sure but Suprisingly even the 4 cylinders have some kick to them

[@thedemocrat73]

Love my 06 accord fun car stupid fast.

[@nes2123]

The k24a4 is a sleeper 4 sure

[@importedllama8029]

i got a 2006 accord with the J30 as my first car, i am absolutely in love with it its just perfect and especially as a person who doesn’t want to go all in on the tuning and mods the stock V6 power with some exhaust mods are more than enough to satisfy a 19 year old kid like me

[@michaelceniceros453]

I agree

[@viisonz9858]

Same man lowered mine and straight piped it nothing better

[@shadowandlight100]

I just bought a 2006 accord v6 manual with 250,000 miles for 2 grand. It is fast and lovely! I also have a 2007 accord automatic 4 banger and it is faster than my 2018 Ford Focus (which was pimped out when I got it)-the Hondas are amazing. I love my v6 manual and your videos are great!!

[@diegoosorio9361]

2 grand??? Ima have to start looking for one 😂

[@valadezjose47]

I hated Hondas. Talked so much crap about them till I got my k24 accord 5 speed. Put 70k miles. With minimal issues. It now has 235k and still runs like a champ

[@B000mB000mB00m]

Same

[@dom_not_torretotedesco5707]

Same here, still love my mustangs but I’ve had a j32 swapped 6spd coupe and currently have a k series 4 door that sits next to my fox body. Hated Hondas back in the highschool days and waxed many Hondas with my numerous mustangs, but I was also surprised when I got my coupe how fun they can be, and if I ever wanted too I could definitely build a j or a k that would have plenty of power and still be a good daily that I’m not worried about drivin in the snow or somebody hitting me and ruining my 20k plus car

[@armancha23]

I owned a k24 5speed manual and loved it, sold it to a buddy for a 2007 v6 6speed SEDAN from an elderly lady one owner who dropped all of the maintenance records from dealership with it. I added full exhaust system, intake, short shifter, check valve deletes, coils etc and even bit into a pedal commander that opened up the throttle for sure. Next might be the ported j35 manifold and T.B. to complete it. I love my daily family sedan that makes mustang GTs sad at the track lol.

[@dhatboi903]

these are so beautiful with simple mods (wheels and lowered). i think it’s gunna be my next car. had an 8th gen coupe and absolutely loved it

[@aldrinplayss]

My uncle in law gifted to me he's beloved 7th gen Accord v6 coupe 2006 model last year with 192,000 miles. Im so happy and very excited on that day. Im so proud driving this car❤

[@solomedia8914]

I have a 7th generation Honda Accord with a 3.0 v6 vtec engine. I love it! It's my cruiser

[@jeffster7]

The 4 cyl Gen 7 Accords were actually the better car. Everyone loves the 6 cyl, but the 4 cyl is lighter, gives the car much better front to back handling; and is much less stressful on the overall car, including steering, engine mounts. The 4 cyl gets much better gas mileage, is a better design, and has a timing chain, so it's not necessary to change the chain! NO TIMING BELT CHANGES! Much less maint on the 4 cyl; only needs 10K oil changes; stated in the manual, oil changes only required every 10K miles!

[@GspeedR]

I'm 58yrs old and a modified 7th gen k24 sedan is my DD. This car was a soft, slow, wallowing mess in stock form when I bought it 5yrs ago. Some suspension mods, chassis braces, and lightweight alloys have transformed this car into one that I look forward to driving everyday.

[@jeffster7]

what do you recommend exactly, short list?

[@GspeedR]

@@jeffster7 Acura TL rear sway bar, Koni/Eibach suspension kit, DC Sports front strut tower brace, Megan Racing front upper arms, Ultra Racing rear chassis brace, OZ Racing 16" alloys(stock size but lighter), Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires(stock size). I also have a TSX intake manifold, K&N C.A.I., DC Sports SS header, and a custom 2.5" cat-back exhaust. No electronic mods because that would require 93 octane gas....I prefer paying for 87 octane.

[@TakeNoShift]

[@SirSnails417]

I just picked up a 07 Accord 4D with a K24 today!!! I'm so excited. I'm currently stripping the interior to deep clean it . Tomorrow night is engine bay.

[@maineiacoffroad9969]

I’ve had three Accord, two of them have been 2006 7.5th gen’s. One of them was a K24 with the 5 speed that I drove to 410,000 miles with the full original drivetrain. I sold it and it’s still being driven. The other is a J30 6 speed sedan which are quite rare (more common in the coupe). I’ve owned it for almost 9 years and it’s one of my favorite cars ever. It now has 220,000 and is dead reliable. It’s fun, decently fast, sporty, good on gas, and practical. It’s even good in the snow with a good set of tires. It’s the ideal daily driver in my book!

[@JoeBeeOneKenobee]

Bought my 7th gen 06 coupe over 5yrs ago for 400 bucks. Timing chain stretched out due to burning oil. Bent the valves. Installed racing valves, new chain and replaced with new rings. Have about 40k on the engine now. What a sleeper car. Everything stock minus the valves.

[@hitokage_x]

10+ years using my honda Accord 7th gen, still wonderful car to drive.

I was gonna say the 7th Gen ugly but damn these builds shown in the video aren’t bad

I love my 05 v6 Accord. I bought mine for 4k on FB marketplace. All I've done is put on some Q50 stocks on it, put a camry rear lip, wrapped it beige with a black roof, and wrapped the license plate. It looks lovely, the reliability is amazing. It's one of the better cars I've owned

[@druginducedfeverdream1613]

MY FIRST CAR was a 2004 Accord, and people in the car community were always poking fun. That thing never gave me an issue and was a perfect fun car for somebody who was still in high school at the time. I straight piped it, and it actually sounded stupid but in a way that still puts a smile on your face. I want another one, albeit the Acura variant, when I can. I plan on it being my next car if all goes well. V6 hopefully

[@viisonz9858]

I love my 7th gen v6 accord thanks man love the vids keep up the good work

I have a sedan 6-6 in black. It's a nice little daily driver. One of the best choices I made.

[@bn5445]

7th gen Accord Coupe k24 manual owner here. It's not the fastest thing, but the 5 speed manual makes it fun to drive. There a bunch of room to work on/ maintain your engine because its has to also fit a v6. I'll get 35 mpg on the highway too.

[@makan1568]

That pretty damn good mileage. I’m still undecided about what coupe manual I should buy.

[@Cleophus86]

Definitely been contemplating buying a 7th gen. My buddy's dad had a 89' coupe 5 speed V6 with headers and exhaust. It ripped

[@matthewcipcic7961]

I still have my 05 4banger auto since day one new...just turned 100k miles. No issues at all. Dropped it on adjustable coil overs 4" and run 235/35r19 (same dia. for correct speedometer) off a kia cadenza...fitment is phenomenal and hangs corners way better than expected. They are capable of 400-500hp with stock internals (more will need forged) then you can really juice it....mine is stock with just a little 150 wet shot and small tune to compensate a/f mixture to help it along to 300whp..no bolt ons yet, but coming soon....my 2012 pilot will be next to mod but it only has 50k miles so going to wait abit on that one lol

[@k24_power]

My first car was an 03 k24, it put up to a ton of abuse. Still my favorite car. One other thing that’s worth mentioning is the suspension, it comes with double wishbone front and rear. Lowered on coilovers with some wheels and tires and you got yourself a phenomenal handling car. Currently putting a turbo on mine to make some real power.

[@Conundrum191]

Still have my 2006 6-6 coupe, and it still runs pretty much as good as the day I bought it new off the lot.

[@jeffster7]

I love that about my K24 automatic; I don't have to think about shifting; it runs as good as new 20 years later. What an amazing car.

Got myself a 2004 honda accord ex coupe for 3.5k and with low miles (130k) and after owning it for the past 5 years, it has never let me down. Actually thinking to start modifying a bit from the exterior. Nothing too major just little things here and there. Def gonna keep this car for a long while

[@Cars1Gunz1and1Weights]

Well the 2003 to 2007 came with the great V6 J Series. That engine can handle tremendous amounts of boost and is super reliable. It also sounds absolutely amazing with mods and exhaust

Now let’s get the slept on 7th gen civic!!!!

[@slowaccord]

cars that the 3.0l accord can easily hang with on a twisty bumpy backroad: 2016 mustang Gt, 1st gen boxter, e46 m3, FBO 2.5 swapped NC Miata, gt86/frs. The engine has just enough torque and the suspension is extremely capable of handling all sorts of road surfaces. Making for a worry free driving experience and overall able to carry more speed through corners where other cars are too unstable. Only corners it struggles in are tight uphill ones, FWD + Open diff things. But for a cheap 20 year old grocery getter it is unreal the kind of pace you can lay down.

[@ortegonadam]

I'm 29 years old and I just buying my 05 accord... I've always been a nissan boy especially 90s but prices have gotten outrages for anything 90s jdm so I'm just happy to start a new project with my honda.. it's just cosmetic stuff it needs

I like the light weight of the K24; it's much more agile than the heavier v6; V6 makes for a front-heavy car that does not handle as well!

I bought the 2004 EX-Lnav new, to replace my Lexus LS-400 and never looked back. It handled better, was so much lighter, got much better MPG, better cornering. It's still got the original shocks and drives great! 153K Miles, my wife wants me to get rid of it; but why? It's a 20 yo great car, and I bought the car I wanted, have not seen a better deal yet.. It really does need front rotor upgrade to something heavier; there are a few parts on it, once replaced, are so much better. It brakes much better now with good pads, heavy rotors. It's quick enough just the way it is, and very quiet. Just replaced the washer pump; it was 20 years old. Finally cut out on me.

I found it very telling; the newer Civics are the same size as the older Accords. I think it's because the 7th Gen Accord is a very sweet size, it's the sweet spot for a bigger sport car; not too big, not too heavy; really easy to handle. Newer Accords feel boxy, heavy to me, not nearly as sporty as the older Accords.
