I got this car last night. IM IN LOVE ITS SO FAST

[NipkowDisk]

On 4-15-17 I pick up my 2017 Accord EX-L V-6 with a REAL transmission such as this one is equipped with. This video- and several others on YT- helped me make that decision, along with a fun test drive!!

Great vehicle for the money. Even without the HFP package. I am on my second lease, had the 13 V6 coupe and mid cycle refresh 2016 V6 coupe. Car is quite fast.

So much has been said about the lack of a volume knob for audio in the 9th gen Accord ~ I have an 2016 Accord EX-L V6 that I purchased new in Feb. '16... I use the audio volume control located on the left spoke of the steering wheel... and love the response & access. In my opinion: there is no need for a V control knob to clutter the dash

I just love the Honda 2-door Coupe it's a very good looking car and very sporty Honda you hit this out of the ballpark Honda winner

[djzyx]

Got a 2012 HFP Accord V6 Coupe love it and paid half the price as new...

[peterlegend]

Still enjoying my 2013 V6 Coupe, I personally wouldnt spend the money on the HFP

[turbo]

A manual accord alone is rare enough, a manual V6 is very cool. I like the idea of the HFP package but it's too expensive. Subaru BRZ performance package is $1900ish and the MX-5's is $3400ish and you get far more for your money. I've always wanted an accord V6 manual bc it's just not common, but for the money there are several other great choices.

:P ive been about 6-6 life for years now. i want a 2017 white hfp 6-6 next

[anunez]

Looks like a great car, but unless they are doing something to the engine and trans, I don't think I want to spend the HFP $5k, no the less, looks good.

[jamesmurray]

The volume is controlled on the left side of the steering wheel.

[johnadams]

Use the volume control on the left side of the steering wheel. Much more convenient than reaching over to a volume knob.

I have the 15 EXL Coupe & absolutely love it..I'd love to have 17 HFP tho 😲

[loganwhittington]

Just got a 2015 hfp in black and it’s already stage one and w an intake I’m making 332

[shawneal]

Nice ride but interested in the next gen now and hopefully that'll be ready within the next year or so

[NipkowDisk]

It seems that the V-6 manual trans has a VERY tall reverse gear which is fine if one wants to do 40 MPH backwards, but not good for long clutch life or for walking out of a parking spot. Did you perchance find using reverse to be awkward because of the gearing, or is it a non-issue because of the V-6's low-RPM torque?? Just curious. I'm starting to DROOL at the possibility of getting this car!!!!

In reference to rear seat space, you say, "..two short adults". My 2016 Accord EX-L sedan seats two tall adults as passengers in complete comfort
