@@GummyONSolana honda with bald tires, just rip the ebrake 😂
I feel like the 7th gen accord is one of the perfect first cars, reliable, decent mods for a first driver, and has space for friends
Fr just wish it had the TSX engine would’ve been nice
My first s/o k24 reason why I love cars now
Not my first car but my first Manual I just got a 05 lx coupe accord
In nyc it’s still grown men driving this car fresh af
I have a 7th gen 3.0 accord for my first car and I can attest
Forgot one major issue that's common on them. The front lower ball joints. You do not ignore ball joint noises in a 7g Accord or you'll be going kachow soon. They're great cars tho, double wishbone front and back and can use a lot of TL and TSX parts including their engines.
LOL my buddy just went through this the hard way 😂
@@ghost-carnage8964what happens if it’s ignored
@user-ru7he6qj2w bad things lol. Ball joints and wheel bearings replace asap. Basically the wheel could come out sideways and totally fuck fenders up. Just look up "bad ball joint blew up" it's not the correct terminology but it'll show you what you want to see.
@@user-ru7he6qj2w Upside down ball joints come apart and wheel flies out, disengaging axle spline. Mevotech top line of 3 quality failed after 3000 miles!
Yellowed out headlights are an easy fix. Sand them down with finer and finer sandpaper, get that yellow crap gone then spray paint them with a few layers of clear coat. They will look brand new for a long time.
Ceramic coating works too
Toothpaste also works.
I live in Florida. I replaced my lights twice, so I tried ceramic coating, and it lasted 8 months I said I would try the black housing lights and they started peeling but after I sanded them down they look brand new still and it's been 3 year's now. Keep in mind that if they turned Yellow, the black housing is hiding that from being seen.
LOVE this car. Used to have a 4 cylinder and it was the best commuter I ever owned. Recently bought a hybrid and it is much better. The hybrid v6 is a great combination of power and fuel economy
The EX interior is insane
I have a 6-6 accord with 308000 miles and it’s still a great car

I love how honda can make the boring Dailys so fun
the 6-6 coupe with full hfp looks pretty darn good
I got a 2003 Accord Sedan and yeah it's awesome. I got into an accident where I fell in a canal and my car was damaged but not severely. The front bumper took all the hit and the repairs were fairly cheap. Still running strong 💪🏼
i’ve had 2 7th gen accords. a sedan with a 4cyl and a coupe with a v6. most enjoyable cars i’ve ever had. the v6 was more enjoyable to me but i’m sure you all know these came with a k series. very nice and simple cars and the v6 coupe handled so well
I have a 7th gen v6 6 speed sedan. Took me 2 years go find the perfect one. Bought it for $9400 with in box unused Tein Advance Z's, CAI, fog lights, etc. She now has 84k and pulling strong. Saving up for a j32 swap and looking for a TL LSD 6 speed right now. Then comes the twin turbo build! They are great cars with decent power, but the aftermarket for these cars are very very scarce.
Im currently doing a full j32a3 swap to my 7th gen, Im also going auto to manual with the tl lsd 6spd. Im currently buying bolt ons for when the swap is done already got a intake, j35a8 manifold, j35a8 throttle body. Looking to get pcds and jpipe before everything goes back in the car.
this is a great video! i think more creators need to address this great budget platform, so thank you for being one of the first!
as a CM5 owner myself, here are my thoughts and comments:
zenki- 2003-2005
kouki- 2006-2007
CM4- i think this might have been reserved for the australian/thai/malaysian-spec 2.2L 4cyl (not a K-series) sedans, although i could be wrong.
CM5- 4cyl sedan
CM6- v6 sedan
CM7- 4cyl coupe
CM8- v6 coupe
zenki/kouki/facelift doesn't change these codes.
the K that comes in the CM5/CM7 is a watered-down K, in all honesty. it's got the economy i-VTEC setup, and its designation is the K24a4. if you want the absolute best performance, look for something like a DC5 RSX with a K20, because these Ks are not meant for performance.
the zenki v6 hybrid made 255hp and the kouki made 271hp. the zenki 4cyl made 160hp and the kouki made 155, ouch...
both the sedan and the coupe models are desirable in their own right. the sedan is highly praised for its simple presence and VIP-esque feel. the coupes are highly praised for their spaceship-like appearance, with its more rounded lines.
the only usable cupholders are the ones in the center console. the ones in the doorcards are great for if you want to forget the bottle of god-knows-what you left in there.
the j-series v6 is highly regarded to be one of the best sounding commuter-car v6s ever produced, especially the J30, although it takes a LOT of work to make a 4cyl sound good.
okay, i prefer the zenki sedan tails over the triangle style tails, but that's just me. maybe i'm biased because i own one lol.
fact: the zenki sedan rear end is more desirable (i would argue) because the jdm variant of the 7g accord sedan over in japan was the honda inspire, and its tail lights are very sought-after in the CM-chassis community for its extremely clean two-tone red/clear design.
the v6 hybrid is basically a FWD 350z, so do what you want with that info.
the CM-chassis gets SO much praise for its seats, and i can't say that i disagree. i LOVE my stock seats because of their comfortability and fit, even though i'm a 38 waist and i have the black cloth option. so, if you want comfy seats, these cars are the way to go.
yes, the paint fade is BAD. my car is silver, and there is a noticeable difference between the color on my quarter panels and the color on my rear bumper. it's NH623M satin silver metallic, and if you want a wrap to match the color almost perfectly, 3M's gloss white aluminum is a near-perfect match.
yes, the autos from this time suck, but i've had no problems with mine personally.
again, GREAT VIDEO! thank you for talking about these severely under talked-about cars.
The V6 6mt is underrated. They go ta million miles if taken care of. Very fun to drive as well.
I have a 6-6 sedan. Very awesome car.
Just grabbed a 07 Honda Accord with 145,000 no issues at all for 4,000
Headlights and taillights are more of a personal preference. Personally i really like them they look nice
I feel like the sedans taillights were way nicer than the coupes
I really like the headlights
I got the Honda Inspire taillights on my 7th gen. FIREEEE
@@Trollamity I want 💔💔💔
my gen7 currently have 272000 miles. reliable car
I once saw a coupe with both a V6 and a six speed manual and it seemed to be factory which I think is a pretty cool combination...this is my first comment, I usually just watch. Great Sir keep it up 🔰🏎️💯👏👍🏾
* Great work Sir keep it up.
@@sheldonlamey7010 thanks so much for the support either way man! And gotta love that combo
I got a 03 coupe accord v6 6 speed and I love it
Correct they did make this. I have a 04 coupe v6 6mt. Faster in the 0-60 than a 04 mustang
I own one. Doing a 3.2 TL swap in it now
Have seen and drove 7th gens with over 250K on automatics that still ran good. They also have the trans fitter outside the transmission which can be easily changed without even draining the oil if it isn't time. That way it stays super clean in between the oil changes.
I've had my automatic 2006 Accord 4 cyl since high school, and now, going into my final years of college, the thing is still kicking and working fantastic with 170k miles. Such an excellent car, and hoping to add some mods in the future on it.
Don't forget about the EX-L trim.. cream of the crop imo. Leather and sunroof
Just bought a fully optioned out V6 Coupe (CM8) and I love it!
Bought mine and it jumped timing. Replacing the motor this week so I can hopefully enjoy this car

Hahaha I’m sorry about missing so many
I have a 2006 v6 sedan I’m in high school it’s a nice car I’m gonna throw some rims on it after the bad weather
must not be a very great school. punctuation should have been covered much earlier on.
@@skullduggery3377this aint english class lol its the youtube comments section 😂
What rims??
When my auto transmission decides it wants to have 5 neutrals I'll replace it with a manual
i like the coupe and sedans, i rode in my old coworkers coupe and liked it. dont mind the sedan tailights honestly i like them too. might pick up a sedan as a daily
I always found that generation Hybrid Accord interesting. I believe this was Honda’s first attempt of a performance hybrid.
As of recent Acura had a similar SportHybrid line for the MDX and RLX (discontinued) now it’s only on the NSX.
The sedan tail lights are the coolest thing and the main reason why I bought me one, even while I have a 2018 Infinity Q50
The sedan's tail lights are way cooler imo. They look more masculine and cyberpunk. The triangular ones look more sporty and feminine.
I feel the same way, I hate the newer ones they look to small
Sylvania's headlight restoration kit solves the fogged headlights problem.
U got to imagine how people felt when this car camed out in 2003-2004-2005/2006-2007 u have to just feel for it.
Transmisions are great when they work.
i have an 06 ex v6 sedan n i have to say my interior is better than half the 2022 cars mans, still have electric seats, heat seaters,sunroof, power windows and mirrors. the only thing im missing would be the map lcd screen and i believe those are on lx's
hondas are underrated
True dat
@@drakeo4158 true dat x2
I’d say for the oxidized headlights it’s due to most owners parking in the hot ass sun. I bought brand new headlights for mine but after street parking for about a year or two they tend to yellow a lot faster, at least from personal experience. Since I’ve been parking in the shade they haven’t yellowed further

Nah the 7th gen 6-6 coupes are just fuckin amazing.
My cousin bought his grandmother a 2003 EX V6 and love driving it until I want one so bad.
I just bought an 04...enjoying it...very plain looking bordering on ugly but drives pretty well for 160 horses
How many miles does yours have? Just bought an 06 V6 coupe with 160k
Absolutely love my 06 6-6 sedan. Arguably one of the best cars honda ever made.
Just got a accord 2 door 07 2.4l v-Tec runs amazing love the car getting turbo for it faster then I imagined 🤯🚗💨
I hope an LX 3.0L, V6, 2005 Accord. I have changed both the healights and taillights. It changed the look of the whole car, I recommend doing it. New wheels help as well.
I have a 2006 V6 Hybrid, it’s fun, quick, and turns heads, but the 7th gen accords are definitely known for having weak ass bumper clips lol, they always break
I break at least 3 clips every time I take the bumper off lol
Let’s goooooooo this man is the goat 🐐 🐐 🐐
That’s all you guys not me
Have an 05 honda accord lx with 313,000 miles on it and still runs great. Manual transmission of course. Would love to see you do a good, bad, and ugly on the 07 saturn ion. That car was nice. Had the level 3 package and was a nice collector's car. Since saturn was shut down in 09
I just bouthg an accord v6 coupe.
Maaan what a great car!
The motor is really strong
I just recently bought a 05’ V6 Vtec 3.0 sedan 130k miles automatic I personally like it and think it’s fast.. what do you guys think of this one In terms of overall review of this car
I think it's fun to drive
That exhaust clip didn’t do them justice.
The auto transmission issue is a surprise for sure. I have an 04 with 276000 miles as my daily and I haven't had a single issue with it at all. Weird.
Same I have a 07 v6 auto 300k kms no issues with it other than having to wait maybe a second when putting it into drive so it doesn't slip lol
03-05 v6 has the worst trans. 06-07 v6 was slightly updated. 4cyc don't neutral drop it and change fluid it will be fine. The transmission in the V6's are actually not bad its just no one ever changes the fluid and it has an internal filter.
My power steering was so shit im glad it got fixed a few weeks ago. I love my 7th gen 🫶
Had an 07 sedan 6 spd/6cyl, best car ive ever owned. Sold it to pay for my divorce, had to at least find the current one i own, 6 spd/6cyl coupe and its so damn fun to drive.
I've got a 2006 coupe v6 6 speed with hfp. Having fun finding an exhaust.
They restocked the tsudo exhaust. That’s pretty much the best sounding exhaust besides the greddy evo 2. The tsudo is $600
@@mrmiagi6052 awesome, thank you
Yess man finally my car has another feature. Mark I just bought a new bumper for the 7th gen accord.
Good stuff man super happy to hear it
I have an 04 accord with a k24 in it and I love it
im gonna be honest eveything you said is pretty much true. the auto accords are eh.the power steering is a very big issue with these cars. the paint fade almost every honda ever made has that issue just gotta find the clean one that was takin care of. the headlights yeah people don't take care of there care but lemme tell ya LEDS and new headlights bring life to the 7thgens. and yes the 7th gen has to grow on you you have to love it and it will love you.
I keep hearing the automatic trans have problems. However I also see some of these cars with over 300000 mi. with the original auto trans. I just got a 2007 with less than 48000. [it was my mothers car] and I love the car.
You forgot that the accord in Japan is the Honda Inspire and it came with a different front end and tail lights in the same body style as the usdm accord.
To be honest, I do like the seventh GEN two-door V6 coupe automatic, but yes, it does have its problems. If you get an automatic transmission, they will break down on you. At the quarter-mile track once and it has a really good reaction time when most cars are doing a 14.2 you’re doing a 14.9 and you still beat them at the end weird huh 😆 it’s all about reaction time.
Honda did preety darn sic for 7th gen era, they release so many different types. They also like did experiment on something, bcs at these period Honda release Legend and Euro R that somehow related one to eachother; it also oodly possesed Accura with their TSX. Same kinda look like interior, same engine, idk man. But my CM5, how ugly it is but somehow I loved it anway.
I got my ex 7th gen accord v6 automatic sedan recently for my first car and even tho it has 233k on the mileage the car works fine i did have to do alot of repairs on it tho because the air intake hose broke and the antifreeze needed to be flushed and the battery died also the ceiling bulbs needed to be replaced and the hood struts stopped working also the air intake filter needed to be replaced and the ac filter but now all thats left to do is replace the sparkplug tube seals and the ac system
I’m not even kidding man, I’ve had all these exact problems! Sitting at 206k right now.
7nth Gen Honda Civic Sedan EX/LX (01-05) and 6th Gen Honda Accord Coupe v6 (98-02) please! I'm debating which to get as a daily, reliable, and a little sporty as my first car that I plan on getting this summer.
The title got me, I’m an 8th gen Accord 6-6 coupe owner!
The 07 sedan lx has the sexiest tail
Lights ever so the world should know
J series accord over k series accord all day! The torque from the j series is undefeated.
I dont know dude. I've heard the V6s are the ones with transmission issues not the normal automatics.
I just got my first one!!! Love it!!!
I just got one just one 6 speed Manuel v6 06 I'm in love coming from a 95 corrola it's amazing perfect daily 1st drivers car omg it's amazing gotta 220 hp 😍 it's fast but not fas yk faster than si
The accord V6 MT accord 06-07 sedan is actually more saught after because only 5k were made unlike the coupes getting rarer each day
Had an 05 coupe, I junked it at 255k... I sure it had more life in her!
Cmon bro, you gotta do the 6th gen next 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m subscribing…I love my k24

Well,you forgot the SE trim model,i have one,and i absolutely love this car, it's got the , V6
LOOKS ??? This CAR IS SEXY AF !!!!
I just bought one of these and it has 230k miles so it has a few issues but the main problem I have with it is the interior and the stereo/climate controls don't light up in the dark so I can't even see the buttons at night
So let me say this my track car weekend car is a built 95 Honda Civic coupe but my daily driver is a 2004 Honda Accord V6 coupe with the full hfp package I'm surprised you didn't mention that in your video hfp is the Honda factory performance kit that comes on a chords and a few other Hondas and it completely changes the look of the 7th generation accords it's a front lip rear lip side skirts spoiler mine even came with different Wheels mine has all those options is an EX V6 with the leather interior heated seats etc got it from my uncle who is the original owner bought it brand new in 2004 it only has 60,000 original miles on it I just got done going through everything at my shop to refreshing it gaskets hoses belt seals brakes tires suspension clutch flywheel injectors fuel pump I do not like the way these accords look when you see the coupe or sedan when they are just plain but when you see them with the hfp kit look that up on Google or wherever and you will see how much different and how much better and more aggressive the coupes look would that front lip rear lip and side skirts that they come with from the factory and spoiler and wheels I wouldn't even drive this car if it didn't have those things but for a daily driver having the V6 with the leather heated seats power steering AC cruise control it's a really nice cruiser and with those Honda factory performance parts it looks aggressive even for an accord it's just my daily so I'm not going to go too crazy on it but I've already done cold air intake full exhaust and basically what's considered a header for these V6 motors a J pipe and precat deletes went with the newer Honda Accord 3.5 intake manifold and throttle body and those couple mods seriously woke this engine up I piss off a lot of older v8s race quite a few newer Honda accords with 3.5 or Acuras with the 3.7 or 3.2 l engines eventually when this motor goes I will put the newer 3.5 or 3.7 in it but for a daily driver and just those simple bolt-ons and those appearance mods that it comes with from the factory it stands out so much compared to every other record of this generation you see on the road I see them quite often in the sedan or even sometimes in the coup but barely any of them have the Honda factory performance kit options on them I know in the video you said you do not like these but I highly suggest looking up the 7th generation Honda Accord coupes on Google images and look at the ones that have the hfp kit and tell me if you think they look a hell of a lot better and would consider driving one if it had those options like mine again my other car is my race car this is just my daily but it's fun having a comfortable cruiser that also if you want to get on it can seriously piss some unsuspecting victims off also the headlights are known to oxidize but I highly suggest just getting some black housing headlights that's what I did and with the white paint job and black window visors and tinted windows the black housing headlights really change the look and make it look more updated
damn bro i love my 2004 lx accord coupe v6 with the facelift mine is auto though so i’m worried about my trans going eventually i have an exhaust on it and putting a cold air intake tomorrow on her she has 149,xxx on the odo and going strong she’s a mint whip and really fun to drive
I think Honda should've installed the HFP kit on all 7th Gen coupes. Like you said, it fully transforms the look.
Where do you get the tail lights around 8:30 those are dope
I love that black one from NY
Idk how the Honda inspire wasn’t apart of the video. but we bring up the Acura tl
Get the coupe, inline 4 kseries. Im pretty sure there is a sidewinder w/hood exit avail for this thing. Go from there.
You left out the VP trim level (value package) starting from 2006 - not that any enthusiast will care! ;)
Also, while the Hybrid model had the most HPs, V6 speed manual Coupe was faster in 0-60
The uglies are so accurate, I had to replace the power steering pump also I had a transmission rebuild on my 05 ex v6 😭
@ how many miles did you get it rebuilt?
@@isaiahgrimm2810 180k something, but I had no major issues ever since the rebuild
2:40 - I've got a stock 7th gen v6 hybrid. the v6 completely negates any sort of hybrid eco benefits although it does have an electric motor assist and regenerative braking. it also has the same bodystyle as the 4th gen honda inspire and, despite being made for NA, was manufactured in sayama, japan rather than ohio or whatever.
Just 200k with my 07 accord💯
Still haven't got my airbags fixed😂🤦🏾♂️
I got 325k on my automatic it was the previous generation with the bad transmission 98-02
Honda 4 life 💯
I have an ‘03 V6 with an unknown issue causing a lean condition in both banks
I feel its biggest @dvantage is reliability which is very convenient is this Day & time when the economy is unpredictable plus the after market advantages are Amazing so if you got more Important things going on in life like mortgage kids & every day priorities it’s the perfect car to have especially the 7th gen 66 gotta be @ manual for certain to have that excitement & of course that vtec motor!!!…
this is facts. i owned one an beat tf outta it an it kept going. even ran it out of oil at one point in time. nothing i didnt could break it. sadly wat took it out was an idiot driver that hit me :(
It’s always the other drivers man I’m sorry to hear that
got one as a hand me down from my parents, its an auto tho idk what I wanna do with it.
Still a good choice just have a blast with it lol
Man… go to the junkyard and get yourself a manual transmission from a tsx or accord j30a5 stage two clutch and hit vtec yooo
TL rims always do the job where I’m from in the bx Lower it then tint it then look for a intake cold air and then hit v tech
I owned a hybrid (bambi's mom didnt like it )lol. its a great car the power is so nice and quiet
I want a 7th gen coupe so baddd the miles are ridiculous on them down here (Orlando fl)
I got a 7th gen sedan accord in springhill that place had another 7th gen
I actually found one in apopka, 5spd sedan thank you tho
Mine has 267,000 miles on it & it's still running strong. Had to change the control arms & struts but I live in michigan & the roads out here suck. Other than that with regular maintenance they'll run for a very long time.
I love my 7th gen sedan se and i will make it fast and good looking one day
I ♥my 7th Gen
hey what abt the SE? i have an 07 5 speed SE :))
What’s fun about driving a manual transmission?
2nd Gen Honda Fit please!
8:45 the rear light mod is 🔥🔥🔥
Im trying to find how to get/make them
Just for a 05 for a project car wish me luck
