All your points are totally valid and you have the same complaints that most had with the 8th Gen. However, if you ever have the opportunity to drive a 9th Gen Coupe (2013+), Honda really made some great improvements. Also to note, the Accord Coupe isn't a hacked-up 2-door Accord. The Coupe has its own wheelbase, body components, basically everything. You'd be surprised how great the Accord Coupe V6 6MT is.

I agree that the car, especially with the 6MT, is a grand tourer. It is designed to enable the driver to obtain high speed cruising at reasonable levels of comfort. The large gas tank comes into that as well, you can cruise at 70 in top gear easily for 450 miles before having to refuel, and overtaking at highway speeds in 5th or 6th gear isn't a chore.

You have to try the manual. With the 8th Gen Accords, the manual has the VTEC J35Z3 vs the automatic's non-VTEC J35Z2 with variable cylinder management. The manual has a much more responsive feel to it than the automatic because of the reduced weight and the 6 speed's short throws as well as the added power of the VTEC J35. It just has so much more to offer than the automatic and I say you must try it out if you can get your hands on one.

TIMP1198 Yup thank you, I was looking for this comment. Just to add to this, the 5-speed auto in this 8th gen has TERRIBLE TERRIBLE drivetrain loss. Compared to the manual that makes like 230 hp+ to the wheels stock, the auto makes under 215 whp and 212 lb/ft wtq AT BEST with a couple bolt ons. Ridiculous power loss through that shitty transmission. Trust me I know. The new 6 speed autos in the 9th gens are infinitely better. Not only is the engine a lot more powerful (pushing 300HP at the crank) but the transmission has less drivetrain loss. It will annihilate an equivalent 8th gen accord auto stock for stock.
@BmacRDX9 жыл бұрын
TIMP1198 Agreed. The manual 8th gen was actually a lot of fun. I owned a manual K24 8th gen, but got to drive a J35 6 speed and was very surprised by it. I now have a 2015 Mustang GT (manual of course) and it's pretty great, but definite respect to the V6 Accord Coupe.

The current 9th gen accord feels better since it has a 6-speed automatic but it still feels a bit slow to shift. My biggest gripe with the accord (I currently own the '14 v6 automatic coupe) is VCM. Man that system just loves to take away your cylinders! I enjoy getting the 30+ mpg on the highway but with city driving, VCM likes to drop down to 3 cylinders and you feel like the car just bogs down with no power unless you step on it. My advice...if you want a fun coupe look around for other cars. If you want style and comfort, the 9th gen accord is solid

I have owned a black 2012 accord automatic v6 coupe exactly like this one as a daily driver for 3 years now and I can say I agree with most of what Matt had to say about it. I also learned a lot from his review because he has such a wider perspective on different cars than I do. Here my brief take: Pros: 1. It is very spacious and comfortable in my opinion. It is elegant with a subtle sporty look, which makes it almost Acura material. It has a high-quality feel. 2. It has a wonderful sound system. No complaints there. 3. There is no lack of power. I have to practice restraint 24/7 when driving this car! 4. The car gets me compliments all the time!! Of course, this is biased from my perspective, but it is an attractive-looking car no doubt! Cons: 1. ROAD NOISE!! It is not well insulated from road noise. 2. The 2012 base-trim civic has nicer, more modern-looking display and gauge cluster than this. Its quite sad that the 2012 accord without navi looks so outdated for a $30000 car (when new). 3. The fuel mileage is so-so at about 25mpg average. 4. The paddle shifters are slow. I rarely use them because of that. Overall: Despite its shortcomings, I love this car and keep mine as pristine as when I first bought it. One day though, I definitely plan to upgrade, and for that I will watch more subaruwrxfan videos!! thanks Matt!! :)

find a manual.... i love my v6 6spd... handles so much better with only upgrading front and rear swaybars! i wanna say the manual is almost a full second faster in the 1/4 mile.... no cylinder deactivation on manuals honda built them with more torque off idle to help launch the car... also the manual has bigger brakes i think and a different steering rack also...

No but sometimes grinds and doesn't want to go into 2nd or 3rd but very sporadic and usually when driven hard.... but have experienced at slower speeds

I have a 2012 honda accord 4cylinder vtec and it's automatic and I've been messing with mine and the more you reduce weight the better it gets add a vortex cold air intake system and it sounds great change the muffler and it sounds even better I love this car and continue to create my tuner they are just hard to find alot of tuner parts for

What did u do to reduce weight ?
@kennywells73609 жыл бұрын
you gotta get rid of the factory seats and get light weight bucket seat to replace them lighter rims are a plus when doing a weight reduction taking out the stock air intake for an aluminum cold air intake is an upgrade replacing the exhaust with a full straight pipe system to get rid of the heavy cats is also a plus so its just a guessing game on what you want to keep under your hood next lol

subaruwrxfan So i bought my first car today, its a 2001 EJ9 civic hatch and i cant afford to insure it guess it will just have to sit on the drive for a while:( Any tips for keeping a car that wont be driven for a while in good shape, i dont want it to just sit there and rot.

Congrats on your first car!! I would say if it's just gonna sit just give it a good wash and then cover it up with a car cover. Move the car an inch or two every few days to prevent flat spots on the tires. Otherwise it should be fine. If it sits more than 6 months I'd change the gas and oil in it too at that point.

Also good luck with it and I hope more prosperous times come soon for you so you can insure it and start enjoying it!

Ethan Gee I would start the motor up maybe once a month just to make sure the cylinders don't get tight during storage. Good advice by subaruwrxfan!

Great video, I was hoping to get this car. Honda accord is noted for its high reliability. I couldnt find any info on whether the coupe is rated more or less than its sedan brother. Does it have the same basic engine and parts??

Do the same review on a 2012 6-6mt.

Drive the v6 6spd manual and I guarantee ya your thoughts will change. I owned a 08 v6 6sp mt and no car I've owned afterwards can compete. The 8th gen Accord Coupe v6 MT is a beast!! I'm sorry I love my 10th gen accord sport 2.0t but it doesn't compare.
