Recently bought a '17 accord coupe manual v6 and I am amazed every time I shift into first gear. This thing is extremely powerful and aggressively geared. Proud owner for many years to come!

The drivetrain is one of Honda's hidden jems.

So depressing that they killed off the coupe and the v6

+Engineering Explained Jason this video solidifies why i love you so much. The 0-60 test was great. I was actually impressed with your time given the conditions. Loved seeing what happened when you took off in 2nd gear as that is my gear when driving in snow and figured it would work better. Most testers would have just said forget the 0-60 and called it a day. Not you. Not only did you discuss the gearing ratio but did multiple attempts with different tatics. Seems like a small thing but i appreciate it and is the reason I love you. Amazing video as always. Great job.

I just bought a 2003 Accord V6 6 speed coupe. Graduated high school and he is happy. Now he understands what Honda meant to me

Manual transmission Honda Accords... they do still exist!

Great review as usual! I have a friend who totaled his 535i and went with this as a replacement. It seems like a decent car. Definitely a good option for someone who wants something a tad bit sporty and a car they'll basically never have to be concerned about.

I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy my dad’s 2014 and since the day he got it i’ve wanted my own. Such an underrated car

If you drive on the hwy often, the automatic can get you high 30s if you don't have a lead foot. Pretty much just keep the car on VCM with 3 cylinders running and enjoy a great car for cruising & hwy pulls

[MrAbood]

but you know what i like more than a manual V6 accord?

A good reliable car company like honda should start using rwd.

[vexun]

Got a 2014 v6 and love it, I live in Utah and the front wheel drive handles very well in the snow

[serieslover]

Honda should make a manual v6 Accord sedan. Perfect dad car.

Last Saturday, I bought a 2017 accord Touring V6 for 31.6K.   It is a great car.    I measured it against the fusion, Camry, and Mazda 6.    for the camry and mazda, I was going for the top level.   The fusion too.    I watched all these videos numerous times and compared every stat and spec.      The Accord won and after owning it, I love it more and more.        Some friends on youtube helped me a great deal.

I have a 2015 accord 6-6. I love it. There are several mods to make this car very competitive with cars you think would or should blow it out of the water. The best bang for your buck mod, at least suspension wise and possibly over all is the acura tlx rear sway bar which is a direct swap 25.4 mm. Also, with the clutch complaint, there is a clutch delay valve delete mod you can do to the slave cylinder which I have done which makes the whole driving and shifting experience much more enjoyable. I have a short ram intake installed and a borla axle back installed along with the rsb. I have plans for more.

Geez, every car is sooo powerful nowadays it seems. 278 hp in an accord, no turbo, daaim !! nice video gj !

[lakoncers]

I have the 2015 v6 coupe automatic with the paddle shifters and it blows my mind how peppy the car is for what it is. lots of fun to drive

[sunghoonification]

That shift nob is same as my 07 Acura TL type-s. and also J35 engine too. Cool

[TaigaXZ]

That 2nd gear launch is actually pretty amazing

[Blue-moon]

A very good comprehensive review. Thank you. I am going to look at a 2016 Touring tomorrow (V6 Coupe)
