Watching this, and then watching your most recent Macan video, it's clear how much you've developed your dialogue in these POV reviews. You've come a long way! Would also love to see one of these 6-6's back on the channel some day. Weird to think that both the V6 AND the manual are extinct in the current Accord lineup. I do miss my V6 coupe.

[@Iriscal]

A couple of years ago, my old college beater Corolla was totaled, and on a lark, I bought an Accord Coupe EX-L V6 with this exact color and trim, except it's a 2015 automatic and doesn't have the chrome shield on the grill. I fell in love the instant I put it in S and floored it - it's SO POWERFUL! It's now one of momma's precious babies - alongside my 2016 Shadow Aero. I'd never been "proud" to own a car... until I bought an Accord.

That's a gem that is.

[@Ryeric1]

Wow, just discovered that for 1st gear, the ratio is 3.933 while 2nd is 2.478. That's crazy aggressive. All ratios are more aggressive than the 2023 Civic Type R (despite the final drive ratio being slightly less aggressive). Peak torque @ 5,300 RPM means that the power builds linearly and you get more power the more you rev out the engine (almost like V-TEC since it encourages you to be in the higher RPMs if you want the most power). What a sleeper of a car.

[@JasonYergin]

SO good to see an aggressive drive in this model. Thanks for a fantastic drive review.

I remember a long time ago (1995) there was the Acura NSX, and it had only 250 hp with the automatic. It cost $125,000 back then. Now for $35,000 you can get an Accord coupe with 270 hp with an automatic, so to me this car is a really great alternative for a guy who could never afford the NSX back then, and he prefers Honda products. Like a reborn old NSX.

[@markbrooks8623]

I love my 2012 V6 Manual. That was the last year for double-wishbone suspension -- they went to front McPherson struts the following year. The engine is badly choked -- open up the breathing, i.e. intake and exhaust, and you would be surprised how much power is liberated by simple bolt-ons. Nothing radical. If anything holds it back, it is the heavy dual-mass flywheel. Well, and the open diff, but suitably sticky tires and careful handling helps with that.

Nice review bud. My only gripe is that Honda chose not to make the 6MT available in the Touring trim with the angel eye LEDs :-( I'm really debating upgrading to the 2017 when they release next year!

[@BoldBrandFlakes]

Old video I know, but the V6 Accord (especially the final gen that supported both the coupe bodystyle and V6 engine) I always admired. For the price it was solid for what it was offering. I have a last gen TLX with the same engine but the Accord Coupe sounds the best and is the quickest stock J35.

[@BRZguy]

These are really cool cars! I was looking at them before I bought my BRZ, but they're really hard to come by especially with manual transmissions. And CVT is a big dealbreaker for me so I was kind of out of luck there. But the styling holds up incredibly well and personally I think it looks way way better than the new gen accord. Has a lot more character and not so generic old man car. And of course the stock power output is very impressive. I've never driven one before, but I can't think of any real negatives to this accord.

[@gsjacksonsj]

I have a 2015 Accord V6 6-Speed and I love it. My wife found out Honda was discontinuing the V6. So she went out and got herself a 2017 V6 Sedan. Why would Honda stop making the V6 6-Speed Accord? They obviously sell...You can't find a new one anywhere since they announced the 2018 model. So, after owning 5 Accords in a row...I will be buying something different next time. Going back to a Rear Wheel Drive V8... Like maybe a Mustang GT or a Vette!

[@gs5496]

Looked at a bunch of cars this past summer and ultimately decided on a '15 6-6 with 28K miles on it. Took months to find a good example a couple states away. These reviews helped sell me on the car (thank you, Topher). Maybe if the market calms down in a couple years I'll make the switch to the Type R or something similar, but for now this checks a lot of the boxes for a daily driver. It won't eat a corner like my old RX8, but this engine will pull ya along nicely while the front tires yell for help. The car probably doesn't make sense to a lot of folks, but that's all part of its charm in my opinion. Very engaging in a refined, old school package (manual, analog, buttons, etc). Steering feel is non-existent but can't have it all...

[@mattkroening7964]

I should have written this on my last comment, but if you ever have the opportunity to drive one of these again, I think it would be fantastic to compare and contrast a 6-6 with a modern Accord, especially a new 11th gen model. Honda's gotten rid of all of the enthusiast options in the Accord in not a huge amount of time, and this car was the pinnacle for those Accord owners that thoroughly enjoyed driving. Since the end of the 9th gen, they've gotten rid of the: -Coupe -V6 2.0T -6spd Manual -6spd auto -10spd Auto from 2023 forward, the Accord will only be available as either a hybrid or turbo 4 popper that are both paired with variants of CVT's exclusively. I get that it's a wise money making decision for a car maker, and the power-trains in the new Accord are more than adequate for the masses, but it's pretty sad, and frankly rather shocking to see how quickly Honda pulled the Accord away from enthusiasts. Time marches on, I suppose.

The way you'll kill the Honda V6 is to run it without oil or don't change the timing belt and let it snap. The Honda J35Y engines on these Accord's are bulletproof. Don't be scared to give it some gas , these engines love to rev. However, that doesn't mean you have to abuse it.

Hello Chris or Topher, as you like to be called. I'm writing to you and your fans as well. I own the 2017 touring V6. I analyzed four main cars spec for spec. I liked the Mazda, fusion, camry and accord. I picked the accord because of the daily driver, all round car factor. Mind you, I still like other aspects of other cars...But the accord is a great handling car. Now, here's my main point for your buyers. The 2018 accord might beat the 2017 in some aspects, but perhaps not all? I do like the two screens and the design of the dash on the 17, rather than the 18. Of course the Mazda has a great interior, but it's a bit small. No car is perfect, so if anyone is in the market, it's best to analyze every aspect of your top four or five pics. Hope this message was helpful. And Chris...Again...your reviews are top notch.
