I've been planning on stealthily picking this up after college but noooo now you've single handedly made them *appreciate* in value

The 6MT is basically a Honda Prelude ins a very nice suit

[bfurtado]

It's unfortunate that V6 Accords and Accord coupes have been discontinued : ( They were so smooth and sporty

[nineofdiamonds]

You just single handedly exposed me during that intro part, mah dude

I have this exact car. 2016 V6 coupe 6MT. The best kept secret in the car world imo. Road and Track did an article saying this was a bona fide muscle car. Whether or not you believe that sentiment (I don’t think I do) this is a FANTASTIC car for an enthusiast that needs a reasonable daily. And the J35 platform is pretty reasonably tunable if you do your research. 10/10 would recommend.

just going to casually mention this, Honda doesn't do fleet sales. Typically you never see a Honda at a rental company. Not trying to say Honda doesn't have sedate rental car styling sometimes, tho this accord looks great.

This is the car that your buddy buys and you say, “dude, really?” He then says, “trust me” and then you get in... and see it... THE 6MT...

[navykeef]

Do you have to put 91 in this?
No, 87.

“For that nice smooth ‘I didn’t sin’ feeling as I crawl into my single does this man know all of us so well...

His piece about finding one of these on a used car lot reminded me of the best deal I ever got on a car. It was a new-old-stock 2007 Mazdaspeed 6 still on the new car lot well into 2008, which ONLY came with a manual transmission (which is awesome). The salesman started with the whole "this car is special" schpeel... obviously trying to prime me up to pay top dollar for it. My response was "yes, so special and so specific that in a year and a half, the right person still hasn't come along and bought it". I actually got him to admit that people didn't know what it was and weren't willing to pay a $10K higher sticker over a standard Mazda 6. Not only did I get $8K off the sticker because I knew they were desperate to dump it and he knew it, I also traded him my 2005 RX-8 and got $15K in trade value for something that would likely end up being a non-functional hunk of steel and plastic bits in only a short matter of time (it had 32, 000 miles on it and was already on engine #2). As much as that was a driver's car, a head turner, and fun as hell to drive, I knew mechanically it was shit. I eventually sold the Speed 6 after many years of joy when it just started getting too expensive to keep up (we are talking like European level maintenance and repair costs, as it had 100% Japanese parts in it, unlike any other Mazda which shared alot of parts with Ford). But that's a story for another day. But Mr. Regular's rendition of how a salesman would treat this absolute gem of a vehicle that is the Accord V6 Coupe 6MT was spot on, because I lived it in a similar scenario. While this Accord and the Speed 6 are two entirely different vehicles, they share that common thread that most people don't know they are special. But those who know, KNOW. I actually enjoyed that "sleeper" quality in my Speed 6. And when I took it to an All Japan car show, all the rice boys with their suped-up Evos and STIs barely batted an eye. But the Mazda race team that was there...they knew, and they appreciated it. I also kept it bone stock. The kid who bought it off me said mine was the only bone stock example he could find in the Northeast...and I believe him.

Honda needs to bring back the Accord Coupe!
Or bring the Prelude back!

[MylesHSG]

278 bhp from a naturally aspirated V6? Nice.

FINALLY, somebody GETS it!

I've always got the biggest eye-rolls whenever I mentioned these to car guys - let's hope this enlightens them a little~
