Honda Accord 8th Gen | The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly…

[@markroden]

Hey guys, I thought I mentioned it in the video but after rewatching it, it turns out I didn’t, so the clips in the background are kinda an amalgamation of 8th gen’s and 9th gen’s. The honest reason? It’s hard to tell the difference to me and when I searched up “8th gen accord in 4k” these were the vids that popped up. I’m sorry to anyone who was offended in anyway but tbh w you, if you were offended by a video using the wrong footage of a car, you probably need to get outside a bit more. Either way I hope you guys enjoyed, and pls remember I am one guy making vids on tons of different cars, I am bound to make mistakes

[@fw.mitchie8321]

Do 9th gen people don’t give it a lot reviews

[@bulla_89]

could you do 9th gen as well please Mark

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

are acuras the same as accords? only body and looks different ?

[@ethangrimborne8427]

YES. This is my dream car. I couldn't find one when I was getting my first car, but late 2000s car faster than a V6 Camaro from the 2010s? Sign me up! Plus the coupe is SICK.

[@AlfredoRodriguez-vf4nn]

Respect bro you have to be a certain person to like a 8th gen accord 👍

[@markroden]

Gotta love it bro

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

dont these cost like 3000€ also... pretty sure 2.0 is more sensible to get than 2.4 ... K20 is way more cheaper to build up, than K24 the difference is only 400cc so if ur planning to tune the car, turbo and all that jazz... i would def go for 2.0 , not 2.4 id buy accord 2.0T anyways haha... when i watch accord videos from american youtubers, the cars look different, than european accords, or are they all with custom bodykits i assume ?

I have a 5th gen Accord SE and it is such a good daily, I got an intake, a custom exhaust, and 2 12 inch subs in the trunk. It is a blast to drive, visibility if great, very reliable, NOT FAST AT ALL… pretty light tho.

I had a 7th Gen V6-6 with bolt ons. It was a blast as a daily driver. Great sound. Good power. It's just a blast to drive every day.

[@opwolfpvpz4942]

ive got an 8th gen accord and its amazing, it was my first car and its got very little modifications, tune, exhaust, wheels, coilovers, but makes for the perfect daily driver, i love driving it, especially when i have good tires on it, perfect backroad and mountain car, good for cruising on the highway, feels perfect at speed

[@mechwarrior13]

Same 1 owner 2012 V6 4 door EX-L with less than 65k miles. Always had sports cars i daily in the summer thus the low mileage. Only thing that broke so far is AC compressor for some reason, i barely even use it. Also all the ones he showed in the video are 9th gen not 8th gemln

[@tero007]

That’s currently what im building mine for, nice to see other people appreciating this car. They’re super fun

[@thru7887]

Very true, I have an 08’ Accord and I spent last month trying to figure out why it wouldn’t go above 2k RPM. It took $120 in sensors and help from my neighbor ( Airplane mechanic) to reset the computer, other than that it’s going strong at 244k miles!

THANK YOU MARK!! if there were other people that suggested it then thank you too!

[@natthaphonnoble2407]

8th gen coupe 2008-2012 and post 2010 was actually the 8.5 gen, 2011-2012. My favorite is the 8.5 gen v6 or 9.5 gen 2016-2017 touring. My project car is a 2011 EX-L coupe, it was also my first car so I ain’t ever getting rid of her. I Want to 3rd generation Coyote swap the car. Basically a mustang in an accord coupe body!!! Also convert it to RWD. These cars have my favorite body, I can’t stand 4 doors but I like the practicality of them. The Accord coupe is actually close to the biggest 2 door body shell you will find. I did car interior and exterior and practically deep dive comparing accords vs almost any other coupe out there and it’s one of the biggest and most practical in terms of actual useful back seats and leg room, head room, shoulder room, etc. Also the luggage space is great, I personally drove from Texas up to Canada no problem with my dad and a tone of luggage lmao. Had no problem room wise. V8 coming baby don’t worry she’ll be the basest girl on the road again!!!

[@markroden]

Damn man you know way more than me haha thank you

[@LUk3.M.]

V8? Engine swap your Accord? Eh, IDK, to each their own. Cool to see other people doing their own thing to these cars tho. I just dont like the idea of giving up the reliability of the j-series engine. But I'm going for sort of a I guess restomod setup, I'm pretty much replacing every part possible on the car, unless its still in perfect shape. All the interior trim/panels/leather steering wheel/gaskets/leather all replaced with brand new OEM parts. About 6 grand just for that. And also all the exterior trim/rubber/gaskets, all of it. The chrome window trim alone was about 2 grand. But it has rubber gaskets and they have degraded after 15 years, and I want it to look like new. And I'm replacing every possible part in the suspension/wheel/brake system. Everything. With OEM parts. Already got coilovers tho. And then I'm getting modified cams installed. After a repaint, it will look and feel like a new car pretty much, well, it will be like how it should've been from the factory. I'm not trying to make it look much different than stock.. just want it looking brand new & faster. V6 '09 coupe w/ navi & all the extras.

[@brute_Ltw]

Glad you got a video on this, I Just picked up a v6 coupe for 3k with no issues and under 200k miles, definitely lucked out

[@emperorraccoon2805]

Loved tbe video! You should do a good/bad/ugly on the 1st gen Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S. They're amazing little cars for realllll cheap, with an even cooler 2nd generation as well.

[@CP2Ty]

Glad you mentioned the VTC actuator got mine fixed two years ago it was worth every penny! Another thing these have issues with leaking from the A pillars I’ve sadly dealt with this but, overall great daily’s and great video!

[@xoacatl]

Good breakdown of each car you showed along with some good video clips. Ive hady 2004 accord coupe since 2016 with 343k on the dash but it runs hot and needs engine work. I got my eye on another accord 2010-15 in a stick shift

[@BloooBoi]

You should create a top 10 most realiable, looks sporty, automatic, and under like 8k please. I am looking for my first car and i love good looking cars, and my parents are a gitbof karens and wont let me get any sport cars even if they are below my budget. Love your videos man keep it up.

Not sure if you’ve already done Acura tlx but that would be a good one. (I know you did the TL)

[@markroden]

Ok sounds good

[@xiBMXer22x]

I’m a huge Honda fan and have owned many. I got my EX L K coupe from my mom who was the 1st owner with around 190k on it., so I know it was very well taken care of. The only other issue other than slight chatter from the VTC as mentioned, is my headliner is starting to sag, and I have a couple of ball joints and control arms that could be replaced. Otherwise at like 220k the car is (mostly stock) and I have zero issues. I’m a little over 6ft and it’s still plenty of room for me. I can also fit me, my lady, and our kid in the back seat and still be comfortable. It still has the OEM stereo and it works just fine for me. I know the AC was mentioned, I have tan leather interior and I’ve never had much of a problem with AC not keeping up. There’s a lot of things I’d like to do to it (coils, wheels etc) but if it’s not broke don’t fix it lol.

[@18618madeinamerica]

I just bought a 09 coup with the 3.5 v6 in it, under similar circumstances. I aid $4k for it and really like it aside that headliner starting to sag lol that must be a thing. It has 237k miles but it’s been garaged and well maintained the front end is good and tight and after market wheels on it. So aside the headliner and the driver side sun shade…I’m very pleased. I hope to drive this for a long time as I love having the power driving in city traffic on and off the interstate…yeah for sure

[@PapaBon0816]

I have an 8th gen 3.5l V6 Accord as a daily. Here in the Philippines having one of these is quite a luxury. I can't deny, out of all the vehicles I owned and currently own, this car is the best in my opinion. The comfort is unmatched, the power is there when I need it, (heck I don't even feel like I'm going really fast even if I'm driving beyond local speed limits here) and the reliability is way up the roof, even for a Toyota IMO. I'm not sure if I'll actually let go of this car, ever.

[@operator9858]

I can only imagine trying to keep up on such a fragile car in the phillipines. I feel bad for you man...

Yoo great video man my dad has a 2008 gmc envoy id live to see a video about it

[@GainingDespair]

When I got my 8th gen accord it was burning 1 quart per 400 miles ..... Yeah that kinda shocked me, didn't know about it prior, but it had 200k miles. In the two years I've driven it I've always aggressively flushed the motor during an oil change (yes I know not great) but its down to a quart in 1200 miles now which is far more acceptable coming from where it was. Still working on it, but it appears the previous owner drove the car 8k-10k miles per oil change. Found a oil change receipt with a comment the car was 3.5 quarts low on oil .... That was 15k miles before I bought it. Car was pretty neglected needed a good bit of maintance, however I got the car for dirt cheap and overall its been very reliable however fuel economy sucks. I average 22mpg mostly highway with the 4 cylinder, I drive like a grandmother. Best fuel economy I ever got was 27mpg during a long cross country trip which was all highway.

[@OceanLake66]

I own an 8th gen nice vid. I believe that the k series in that car isn’t the holy grail of k series ive heard people say they are not as tunable as the others. If you’re a speedy mf get the v6 because they still have decent potential. Intake manifolds, j-pipes, intakes, throttle body’s this car has more potential and even for the super fast bois there’s a turbo kit for the j35. The suspension is a perfect balance of sportiness and comfort so I agree with you that this is meant to be a fun daily driver and not a dedicated sports car. My coupe does have some body roll and understeer exists too. The v6 really does pull though and it’s pretty grunty that’s how I’d describe it. V6 + manuals these days are gonna be a few more bucks unless you don’t mind high mileage. I’d only get the v6 and I do recommend them. Just make sure the timing belts been replaced before you buy one. Great vid mark and thank you for reading my yapping spree

[@markroden]

I’m just gonna heart this comment so ppl can get educated on the things I missed lol

[@corruptedfileski]

don’t crap on the 2.4 cyl ones too. I have a 2010 ex coupe and if you get her right, she would push lol. i agree, K series is a good engine but could fail on you if you’re doing something wrong.

[@OceanLake66]

@@corruptedfileski my bad I didn’t mean to throw shade at the 2.4. It is one of the greatest cars in history for reliability, and sure you can tune them but to keep up with a stock j series you’ll need to throw more money at it. I’d just pick the v6 cause you get more power out of the gate with room for more. The 2.4 is goated

@@AbdelrahmanHammad-93 it’s not bad especially with the built in eco mode system. The only downside about it is that the eco mode tends to burn a lot of oil so i use a vcm muzzler to stop eco mode from working ever again. I recommend using 89 or higher for the car because 87 octane burned like paper in a day(full tank by the way). A full tank will last you a week, especially if you use higher octane.
