This car is for the person who wants a fun-to-drive, cool-looking car that is practical at the same time.IMO it's a pretty good car.

"Let's turn onto this back road here..."

I watch these videos JUST for that part. No better performance metric than the intensity of his giggles

the automatic and the manual V6 coupes are literally two very different cars. the auto is for someone who wants a car that looks good, drives good, and gets good mpg (vcm). The manual....the manual is a sleeper.

All your points are totally valid and you have the same complaints that most had with the 8th Gen. However, if you ever have the opportunity to drive a 9th Gen Coupe (2013+), Honda really made some great improvements. Also to note, the Accord Coupe isn't a hacked-up 2-door Accord. The Coupe has its own wheelbase, body components, basically everything. You'd be surprised how great the Accord Coupe V6 6MT is.

I didn't buy my 2012 Accord V6 coupe because I wanted a sports car. I wanted a fast
comfortable stylish grand touring car. Saying the civic is better is just stupid.

Just picked up a 2013 accord coupe v6 ex-l and all I can say is the car is absolutely amazing ! It's fast, handles like it's on rails, roomy and loaded with cool features
If you have a chance buy one, you won't regret it

couldnt agree more...the power is great specially on highway...but in backroads it feels floaty..but i still do love it...great car for a college student who wants something with passing power, sexy, spacious, low maintenance, & good mpg

I agree that the car, especially with the 6MT, is a grand tourer. It is designed to enable the driver to obtain high speed cruising at reasonable levels of comfort. The large gas tank comes into that as well, you can cruise at 70 in top gear easily for 450 miles before having to refuel, and overtaking at highway speeds in 5th or 6th gear isn't a chore.

I just got one and I love it! Plenty of power, handles great, and is comfortable to drive on a long trip.

I haven't seen many Honda Accords with this body style

[dajourlivingston]

I love Honda cars the way they drive and loook on the inside and outside, I currently don't have one, but I will soon.

Don't forget this is his opinion that doesn't mean you won't like it!

You have to try the manual. With the 8th Gen Accords, the manual has the VTEC J35Z3 vs the automatic's non-VTEC J35Z2 with variable cylinder management. The manual has a much more responsive feel to it than the automatic because of the reduced weight and the 6 speed's short throws as well as the added power of the VTEC J35. It just has so much more to offer than the automatic and I say you must try it out if you can get your hands on one.

i feel that you should vary the reviews by the type of car you are reviewing. like what type of market that the car itself fits into. i mean you talk about bolstering and nine and three grip in EVERY review. some cars don't need that and it's getting to the point it's boring. the honda accord isn't a sports car. you should review the car itself as a person who would buy that type of car and market. not every car is a brz, or a mustang we get it.

My mom had one of these a while ago. It' was quite luxurious and sounds good. Great gps system and is a step up from a civic.

[Easton]

Still loving mine almost two years later

[meshiu]

It's a great daily. Looks good, runs great and will last forever if taken care of. Sadly mine was totaled in a accident and I had to take a total loss. Broke my heart honestly.

[maryreed]

The Accord coupe is a great car for an adult car enthusiast. Yes, it's a fwd so the handling is blah. But the V6 MT is a joy to drive. Quiet, comfy and solid with far more power than would ever be needed in city driving. You can't compare Challengers and Mustangs because they are meant for a different demographic who might want to go to the track.

[LittleCD]

The current 9th gen accord feels better since it has a 6-speed automatic but it still feels a bit slow to shift. My biggest gripe with the accord (I currently own the '14 v6 automatic coupe) is VCM. Man that system just loves to take away your cylinders! I enjoy getting the 30+ mpg on the highway but with city driving, VCM likes to drop down to 3 cylinders and you feel like the car just bogs down with no power unless you step on it. My advice...if you want a fun coupe look around for other cars. If you want style and comfort, the 9th gen accord is solid

I have a V6 six-speed manual. Enjoy the car and a lot and can keep up with a lot of so-called sports car even beat some. It is a good car but 6-speed manuals are hard to find.
