2008 Honda Accord Coupe V6 Manual - Raw Review

My Buddy Matt let me borrow his 2008 (not 2010 like I said on camera...) Honda Accord coupe. This car is optioned with the v6 engine and a manual transmission. I'm truly stunned by how good of an enthusiast package this sporty family sedan actually is! Thanks for watching!

I have owned 3 V6 coupes. My newest is a Touring, so no manual, but I have all the safety features. They get into Vtech at 5200 rpms. Sounds like there's an intake and exhaust, which does nothing. They are 100% sleepers, the J35 is very underrated many Mustangs and a few Camaros have learned that this car is a sleeper. Runs great in the snow, due to fwd/all season tires. They have 278hp now, and run the QT in 14.2/3 as per C&D magazine. They are a blast! My 17 is staying around the 25k mark. Honda doesn't offer this combination anymore.

I just picked up a black '09 EX-L V6 manual, pretty much identical to this video's car, with 100k miles for $7500, and absolutely love it. I live in L.A., the freeway capital of the world, and am always being challenged when they see the V6 badge on the back of the car. Lol

Definitely a great car. I have a 2012 v6 6 speed and love it! Tons of power. And the funny thing is, nobody knows. They just think its a normal Honda Accord....lol....until you blow by them. Try driving it with air off, squeeze out that extra HP. Nice Vid!!

I’ve got a 2008 Honda Accord V6 coupe manual, as well. 175K. Love it. So much fun to drive! 😊

[nickrah]

i have the coupe in an I4. i blacked the car out and put nice rims on it and just cruise around, this is a gorgeous car i dont need to be racing it around id rather just cruise around and have the car look sexy

I have a 2009 V6 6MT with 162, 000 miles and it’s a ball to drive.

I just got a 2008 EX-L manual coupe, but it’s the 2.4l 4 cylinder. 😭😅
Still a really fun car to drive! It somehow pulls harder than the 2016 BRZ I used to own. (Totaled by a drunk driver)
I look for reasons to drive it even when I have nothing to do. Lol

The J-engine has two party tricks: VTEC and Variable Length Induction. It's the combination of both of these which is why the VTEC kicks in so hard on the V6s, that and the added displacement.

Got mine finish fbo yesterday. Custom 4inch icebox intake with 6 inch velocity stack, j37 throttle body, j37 manifold, ported runners, rv6 j pipe, underdrive pulley, and 2.5 catback with vibrant resonator, and 2 varex exhaust.. have k tuner but waiting on my etune.. car is a blast very torque.

Great bleeping car! I got a 2008 Accord Coupe automatic, great style and design with some power under the hood.

[alejandroescalante]

[davileett]

Got a 2011 for sale in VA, 113k miles been well taken care of.

[depaz]

I hears only 1% of the 2008 came out 6 speed manual. Im lucky

[ASMRCoop]

Getting ready to buy a 2012 V6 coupe with 95k miles this week. Thanks for helping me along with my decision lol

[Akkshun_jakksunn]

Nice review I have a 2008 6-6 as well.. keep it up. ( your 100th subscriber) I think lol

[franklinvasquez]

Nice Video. Im looking to buy a Silver Honda Accord EX-L V6 6 speed stick shift with 126, 000 miles. They had a 2014, but it was a 2.4L 4 cylinder. I think im going to go with the 2011 just because it's a V6 6spd.

I've got a similar 2008 6-6 (chassis code CS1). Its just in good shape and not beat to shit and in red. I think the thing you missed is that the engine is rated at 268HP / 251 ft-lbs and is 3.5L. The TL with the exact same engine, but 3.7L and is rated about 310HP / 295 ft-lbs. The J35 MT Accords put down about 250-255HP at the wheels. So something doesn't add up. Either honda has the MOST efficient transmission ever. OR, and more likely, that 268HP is more like 285-290HP, which would have a transmission loss of like 12-15%. Combine that with the new Camry XFE or whatever that has a 3.5L V6 making 301HP. Everything points to this engine making a lot more power than rated in true muscle car fashion.
And don't forget the Turbo 6-6 coupe that was a pacecar for Indy. 400+ HP with a TL 6 speed.

Omg I drive this baby automatic transmission it’s a rocket... and just wanted to modify more put after market parts you no gonna believe looks amazing sleeper car

[gfy]

I have a 2012 accord 6-6 on fbo with 3.7 intake and a custom tune it put down 337hp but my clutch was slipping

Running on 5 hours of sleep is a good night of sleep for me lol
