I detailed an 07 Accord EX-L V6 for a friend of a friend and I was just amazed by the quality and how much fun it was to drive! I love the styling of the coupe and the features it offers.
Just got me a 2007 Accord EXL sedan and I love it! It is the same graphite pearl and grey leather interior as yours
I have an '06 manual LX coupe I bought new and it revs around 3000 rpm at 75 mph. I still get low 30s for highway gas mileage. Very comfy and supportive seats for long trips!
Best generation Accord in my opinion! Great video!
I just bought a 2005 Honda Accord EX-L coupe 2.4L 5 speed manual.
Picked up for cheap with no surface rust and clean underbody.
Best $1800 I spent.
LOVE your car dude! You were very lucky to find it :)
this generation accord coupe is the best accord ever!.. inside and out!... even better looking than the current accord coupe!
i've been anxiously awaiting this video :D
I have an 01 with 152k and I absolutely love it! Tho i believe that the motor that these have is quicker than the f23a1.
Recently got an 04 2.4 coupe so I could put my firebird away for winter , have to say these are great cars
I have an 07 EXL with NAV, and i absolutley love it !!
Haha, its good to know someone understands looks are subjective without having to make a big deal about it. Very true, my mom will probably be getting the new Altima.
looks like the shift lock release, a lot of Toyotas have that too. If you stick something in there (the key) and push the button and it lets you shift out of park without turning the car on. It could be useful if you have a dead battery and need to put it in neutral to get it onto a tow truck.
I have an 06 coupe 2.4 Nighthawk black With 116k and I love it . Traded My Crappy 2000 Olds Intrigue for it and never looked back.
Nice. Might get myself an Accord coupe in a few years. 2013's look hot.
I understand what you mean about the road twisties. I live in Ohio and i love all the hills and curves we have up here, its a ton of fun to drive my Envoy around up here because its bouncy to begin with.
Great video! I do have a question tho.
How would you compare the Honda accord to your Mazda6 in terms of build quality, fit and finish, and the ride quality (which one has a softer, more smooth ride, which is more responsive)?
Thank you in advance for your reply!
I liked taking that ride. Honda's are typically a bit load in the cockpit. Tires will help a little....you just have to check their rating's. The 7th gen coupé is nice looking. Enjoy
Question, what brightness do you keep your instrument cluster lights at?
I got a 2005 lx coupe with 199k and still running perfect, although had to replace a few relays
Super relaxing voice
Does it annoy you not having a manual shift sport mode?
And both CVTs. It's gonna be a good comparison given I love both cars!
Hey, how have you liked this car overall? I'm actually looking at a mazda 6 or an accord, so since you owned both, can you give me some feedback on both cars? that'd be great. Thanks man.
hey how many miles are on it now? still running good? thanks!
my radio says error e how can I put the code in
have you had any problems with your accord so far?
I drove one of these and the 4 cylinder isn't bad on power at all because of the 5spd, and they way it's geard and yes it handles like a go kart Imo which is really fun sadly I couldn't afford one 2 years back and settled for what I got now lol :(
What's the reason not to use the ash tray as an ash?
Nice review and car, the ac is also one of my complaint about my fusion w/ 2.3 it feels like you only has 100hp and my throttle lags too.
FAST CAR MAN, WHOA
The Accord is finally visible! lol
Hey whats that that little hole beside the shifter?
Not to be nosey but how much did you pay or rather how much did you put down and do you have a monthly note? I'm looking to buy my first car and I really like this one.
Why did you sell the Mazda?
YAY finally
Alright, thanks a lot! All I have to do now is drive them both lol.
Still have the car?
its a design flaw on the glove box, my grandmothers accord has the same thing, and the light shines through that crack
What do you have now?
Omg small world. I know right where you were. My grandpas funeral was at the tm Ralph right near there
You're supposed to change it at 15%, at least that's how it works on our CR-V and Odyssey. Nice car!
Haha, yea I get what you mean. I actually like the Altima more, I love the styling except I think the grill is a bit oversized an has too much chrome. But I honestly didnt like the Accord that they showed at the auto show earlier this year. The 06-07 Accords are still my favorite Accords ever. But you're right, both are great cars. Hope you enjoy it when u get it!
Oh Okay. Did you get it from a dealer at that price or was it privately owned? I'm being nosey but I'm really trying to get one of these, thanks for the answers.
Don't get the moonroof visor, it will scratch and ruin the the paint undeneath. Also, it takes away almost half the space when open. Get the OEM spoiler, and 06-07 V6 6MT wheels and call it a day.
OmG.! Sweet Disposition _Axwell mix.!
Is this in Eagle Bay????
OEM Wing or Lip spoiler? What about an Intake? For the HID's and such would you consider these? watch?v=dMBso3-iVdk&feature=related
Thanks for the Review. Finally! lol.
Lol, i like that intro!
And that's why I'll never get rid of mine. Bought my 06 Accord with 40k. Now has 73k. The only ISSUE is that the trunk leaks when exposed to moisture. If I leave it out in a rain storm the trunk will be soaked!
Ohhhh ok. What you thinking about next?
the heated mirrors are not so premium these days, maybe in usa but the kia morning (picanto has them).
Lexus license frame?
I traded in my 09 hyundai accent gs with only 13k miles for a 06 honda accord ex-l sedan v6 and I love my new Honda Accord, which has 87k miles.
The LED tail lights are back for the 2013 models.
i dont know about the accord coupes down in the south states but here in the north where it snows these are rare. i havent seen one of these for sale on craigslist EVER! its mostly 4-doors. i would wait for the new gen accord to hit the lots. the ones now look really basic. id rather take a sonata over a 2012 accord. id leave toyota out of it, as much as i love them they dont look special as the others. good video
NICE My 2006 Honda Accord Ex Coupe 2.4L Start Up, Full Tour, & Test Drive - 152K
hey can u help me with something, whats the difference between the V6 engine and the 2.4 L one?
because both cars got a maximum speed of 160 mph
Sure theres really little differences aside from horsepower and the amount of cylinders the engines have. It doesn't necessarily mean that the max speed limit of the cars is 160 MPH even though the speedometer says so. Neither the 2.4L 4-cylinder nor the 3.5L V6 can do it unless you fiddle with their computers somehow to disable limit & mod the hell out of the engines, especially on the 2.4L. I believe the max is between 120-135 on these cars.
To be honest I wouldn't wanna go 160 MPH in these cars anyways, nor stock or modified. They just weren't built to roll on with ease when in excess of 100 MPH. You can improve suspensions components & etc to improve but you're stretching the legs of a midget when doing that lol. I've done 110 MPH with this car before and it really didn't feel sure footed at all and the steering felt was lifeless, yet I've done 128 MPH in a 2000 Mercedes C230 Kompressor and the car rolled with ease as if in were on train tracks because it was designed from the get go to tackle such speeds.

thanks for the answer i was just wondering, because im getting my sisters 2004 accord coupe EX-L 2.4l and wanted to know the difference between the two engines.
tanjali omar tanjali The V6 will be much faster undoubtedly but the 2.4L is the more reliable engine + the 5 speed automatic transmission is rock solid when when paired to the 2.4L. Not the the V6 is bad, it's a good engine too but IMO not as durable from what I've seen and the automatic tranny had many problems with it.
*****
yea thanks for the info, i heard the 2.4l saves gas too
my 99 altima only has 118k, love it
The 11 present corolla had heated mirrors in the LE lol
I used to not mind the straight roads in Florida, cuz I've owned nothing but slush-mobiles, but now that I have an sn95 Mustang GT, the roads have become a bit boring :I
Dam I miss my 07 Coupe EX-L. It honestly drives better than my 2016 car.
Nice car
I think this is the EX-L trim since it has leather interior
that's good. it being a honda all you have to do to it is take care of it and it will last a long time (:
in morocco the honda accord look like the acura tsx and the 2.4 ivtec engine devloppe 190 hp from 03/08 model and 200hp from 09/14 to now model :D and we do have the diesel version which has the 2.2 i dtec engine with 150hp and 340 nm of torque
Same thing as the tsx
Dude by any chance do you live in Davenport, Fl? Cause it looks so damn familiar!
This was Haines City just south. I don't live there now but my folks do. This was filmed 3 years ago, that stretch of road is now full of houses
I live here in Champions Gate so kinda knew it US27? .... God Bless you bro!
Yup, your the next exit up lol
What part of fl do you live in? I live in sunrise near the sawgrass mall and I'm a car fanatic.
We close to each other
Thats a lot of miles for the year!
Would the insurance be more than a 4 door sedan?
I don't think so.. Sedans are considered safer so ab Accord Sedan ought to be a wee bit less. In fact, I sold this car a few months after this video & bought a 2000 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor (It's a sedan) & my insurance was $4 less than the Accord. And a few months after that, I changed over to a 1999 SL 500 Roadster & there was no difference lol :P
Just a note, if you use the a/c all the time you may want to get it serviced, Honda dosn't have the best a/c and if it goes out it will be a $700-900 for a rebuilt compressor. And you can feel the drag and loss of performance on the V6 , so I'm sure it really noticeably with the 4cly, Consumer Reports just did a test on the 2012 Accord and found a/c robed over 3 mpg on it so thats why.
Yup ac definitely Rob's the power for Honda vehicles in no other vehicles that I've driven Rob's that much noticeable power when you turn it on. I think it's because Hondas are usually down on low end torque and so when you go to accelerate that initial take off is hindered but up in the res you still have the same power response you need to pass but no low to mid range punch and when you turn it off you can definitely feel the increase in power
Does yours burn oil? I have an 03 and burns quite a bit of oil has 157k miles on it
Mine burns oil. I have a 2004 with a V-6 manual. Right now it has 115k and it's been burning since I bought it with 77k.
hater gonna hate. V-TEC for life
YOOO THERES KNE JUST LIKE YOUR BUT WITH LEATHER FOR SALE SHOUD, I GET IT
oh u cool
Lol the 2009-2012 corolla LE had heated mirrors
Nice car man :(
so youve had a 4 cyl, 5 cyl, 6 cyl and an 8 cyl. im feeling a v10 in your future ;)
whats ur average mpg
Straight hwy driving was about 31mpg if I remember correctly. Mixed driving was about 27. I do have a heavy foot though lol
*****
thanks
Aux?
No despite the presence of an aux button.
Do you still have this? About to buy one now in 2019 with 126k. You think it'll be good for at least the next 5 years?
Hondas last forever how much are you paying?
@@sben125 Went to look and was talked into buying a 2013 Accord LX sedan :) very happy.
@@sben125 275 a month :) Not horrible. Will be paid off in a few years no prob. Let's hope she lasts long! :)
I was half expecting Dorothy and Toto to walk on by...............
152k...that thing was just a kid reaching puberty. alright, at least just a young adult.
I'm sure its not a Jetta. Humm. Merc and BMW, but I think your looking at an Audi! Possibly a TT or a A4.
Oh
This is the same car I have
As a fellow gay guy, I was glad to see it confirmed in intechdude300. Skip to 17m50s, and hear the admission. "STRAIGHTNESS !! I Hate it !!!!!" Welcome to the team.
You always use Infiniti as an example when it's something negative.
I sens a GTI in your mind. :p
no aux
Cloth interior version is more comfortable
I find newer Hondas for the North American market are quite bland which seems like a direction I never thought they would go in. Honda seems to be going a little "Toyota" on us which you of all people know that's a horrible thing lol.
Volvo C30!
In my opinion, the alloy wheels look like that of a base 2010-2013 Mustang v6.. Clearly this car is older than 2010... Ole Ford might've ripped off Honda a bit there...
nahh get a little spoiler big ones are ugly on hondas
PS you hipster with your hat in the middle of summer ;)
He purchased it from a Lexus dealership.
2013 Honda Accord will regain LED tail lights!
so what if he is? his choice. and he does do great reviews...haha "not to be rude" doesnt really stop this from being rude man. and im straight so :p
152k this car can eaisily hit 1millon lol
