Can't wait to graduate high school, then college, then work, then be able to afford this car used on Craigslist

oh man, romans been on an evangelion netflix binge too.

"$10,000 in okay condition" Boy I wish that were the case these days

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

We must protect the manual V6 Accord.

Roman singing Eva tracks, and Mr Regular bring up e621... Yeah this is a day

“This is a v6 that doesn’t sound like crap.” The GT-R fanbois are on their way. RUN.

“Do you have to put 91 in this?” “No, 87” “DAAAMMNNN” lol

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

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

the week I was shopping for mine.. I saw 3. 2 got sold before I even reached the dealership and the third I drove 2 hrs to a Toyota dealership and dropped a deposit on it to hold it for me.. picked it up a week later under market price. win!!!!

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.

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.

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~

The e621 reference hit me like a sleeper agent wake up call

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.

That raw V6 sound tho.👌 And it's a manual too 👍

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...

THIS video convinced me to pull the trigger on buying one. I’ve had my 2015- 6MT for 2.5 years now, put almost 40K miles on it and have loved every bit, with no plans on stopping any time soon.

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

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

I had a 2013 accord 6MT. Best car I’ve ever owned. Reliable, quick, fun, and hot excellent gas mileage. It made me sick when a Toyota hit me on the interstate.

This review convinced me to get a 2013 V6 6MT, thank you! Absolutely loving this car!

278 bhp from a naturally aspirated V6? Nice.

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

LOL @ Accords in rental fleets. You mean Altimas!

Back in 2006 and 2007 if you got the honda accord in sedan form and the EX trim level with the V6 it came with a 6 speed manual transmission which made the accord sedan a sporty sleeper

A Cruel Angel's Thesis for the intro? Nice.

Shhh don't tell people the Honda secret! They're so much fun to drive!

Thank you for making me feel good about being 31 and single while driving a 3-door

Just recently got a 2004 6MT and even though it's got 170,000 miles it still feels like a blast to drive. It's also the car that I've learned manual on and I gotta say, it's been a pretty great teacher.

Honda doesn't do fleet sales, Mr. Regular.

Every Car Reviewer: Working on perfecting my shift technique Mr. Regular: Nah, i'm good

Xhampster and two door coupes for life. Oh Mr. Regular I love your humor.

>e621Oh man, Mr. Regular knows. HE KNOWS.

When you said J-series I almost shed a tear. You have no idea how long I’ve waiting for this video. Lemme know if you ever wanna drive a 6MT with nitrous :D

When I heard the eva opening, I was praying that we'd get komm susser tod at the end. Roman delivered.

My parents have a 2015 that they got in 2016. They got lucky, as it was cheap since no one wanted it. I love driving it.

One of my best friends was inspired by this video; he searched for a good long time, but he found a well-cared-for mid-mileage 2013 6MT about a year ago and it's been his daily ever since. Smooth, ridiculously fast, comfortable, decent mileage, a blast to drive, and no one looks at it twice.

Manual Honda might just outlast the majority of our marriages. 😩

OK Mr. Regular I had like 17 e621 tabs open and I drive an Accord coupe so I didn't appreciate being so attacked by the first 20 seconds of this video :(

Just checked. The asking price of a good condition low mile 2016 6MT is $23,000

About six months ago, I had decided to look for a newer Accord V6 6MT coupe. I quickly realized they just don't exist within the market, no one is selling them. It doesn't matter even if I had the cash in hand, instead of simply looking for what's out there as a goof. It was at that moment that I decided that my 2007 Honda Accord V6 6MT coupe will just have to get more love from me.

Accord 6MT: (Not) a boring car.

Work at a Honda dealership, and it's always a treat whenever we get one of these in. Always makes me wish I had a bigger garage and a larger wallet

Sadly -and strangely - never sold here in AU...and we love Accords over here.

Probably my favorite video from you guys. The sheer amount of happiness in Mr. Regular's face brightens my day.

The funny thing was that these underrated 278hp manual Honda Accords embarrassed every single four cylinder high-school dropout Ford Focus STs, vw golf gtis, Mazda mazda3 mazdaspeeds, Hyundai Veloster turbos, Dodge Neons, and Honda Civic Si's that got feisty at every stoplight intersection

0:19 Cruel Angel's Thesis 10:45 Komm Süsser Tod Bless you Roman

I’ve had mine for 4 years and I still come back and watch this vid every once in a while

these Accords are an underrated gem

Being on the west coast it’s great to watch at 3 AM cause I totally don’t have work...

That intro spoke to me profoundly. Thanks for introducing me to e621 Mr. Regular, of course I searched in incognito.

if my mazda6 signature was able to be ordered with a manual transmission & not just the base model, my life would have been complete.. still went with the 6 due to the gorgeous interior & the immense torque (310lb/ft... 2018 accord 2.0t was ~265lb'ft and it was a noticeable difference).. it drives like a v8. unique for a turbo 4

I drive an 05 Acura TL 6MT and I'm drooling over this

Honda Accord coupe = Underated It's always being like that. With Si or Type R performance in a rare Accord variant

Lmao, at 3:58 "this is where the honda magic comes in, its *ad plays* OH OH O'REILY AUTOPARTS" The timing couldn't have been better

0:19 I had to look up the Evangelion opening to make sure i was hearing that right

2009 white Accord coupe was my first ever car, 8 years later I still drive and love the thing, creeping up on 300,000km

RCR single handedly rising the accords estimated value after just one video

Why you gotta do cruels angel thesis.... I DON'T WANNA THINK OF EXISTENTIAL PAIN TODAY

I cant afford a Chevy SS. This seems like a good alternative to the invisible enthusiasm need I have.

"We're waiting for the right kind of customer" SO SSSSSO True.

22 mpg city/35 highway is a bit optimistic for this powertrain combo. Honda rated the 2016 models with the V6/Automatic transmission at 21/34. The manual transmission combo is most likely rated lower than that. They backed it all the way down to 18/28 for 2017 V6/6MT models. These get 30 mpg highway at best in most cases.

Cruel angel thesis, e621( haven’t heard that name in years), and a Honda Accord

This video unironically inspired me to buy one of these. I got my 2015 a few days ago and I love it!

Lmfaoooo the evangelion referece in the intro is hilarious

Noooooooo why did you make this video I’ve been scoping these out ... now their gonna cost more

After 4+ years of RCR, I think we finally found Mr. Regular's favorite car.

I was a little afraid when I saw this video and thought: "this guy's gonna crap all over my favorite attainable car". But then I remembered that, he actually likes good cars and only makes savage fun of the real garbage. This here is the last vestige of what Honda used to be as a car builder. I would buy this car with 200k miles on it as long as the seats weren't all torn up and it still had some paint left. They don't make them like this anymore and that is a sadder thought than seeing someone return a beautiful shelter dog to the shelter. Anyone with half a brain would jump at the chance to own a proper machine like this. There aren't enough hours in the day to heap praise on this car and others like it. At least we can share in the memories of Honda in their final truly great days...

this is the best intro i've ever heard in my entire life and I relate to it on a spiritual level

Lol if you think these are really selling for 10k! 18k-20k is more realistic.

I bought a 2004 Acura TL 3.2 with a 6 speed manual, I freaking love it

Fast forward to 2022 and these are 20k with 80k miles on em

That eve reference has won me over. You like cars, you know Eva, and you are funny af. Win.

I've never seen any Honda at a rental fleet.

I wish they didn't discontinue the Accord coupe

Honestly, I have a ‘07 Accord with the J-series, can confirm most of what he says go for most Accords.

At 9:01 Damn Daniel.... Back at it with the 87 octane. Haha

Just the fact you know about e621 makes you my favorite channel...but then again, who doesn't?

This is in my humble opinion the most accurate, well said, relatable, and best rcr video in a long time

Literally the only thing this needs is an limited slip diff...taken care of by the aftermarket, car lift and intermediate mechanic skills. Do that and you have the perfect daily driver you'll enjoy driving every day. Factory stock the traction control will be ruining the fun, turn it off and you'll do nothing but roast the front tires all the way to 4th gear.

The accord v6 coupe has been rare since like the 2000's lol

Reminded me of the altima SE-R back in 06 .. strong V6 , manual transmission and light weight .. that thing was a huge surprise to drive and way more fun than crappy CVTs of today ..

RCR and Netflix didn’t put fly me to the moon? You Can (NOT) Do This To Me

Bought this car twice technically. All because of this video. Graduated highschool and bought the 8th gen base model coupe with the five speed then 4 years later I traded it in for the last model of the coupes made. The 2017 exl in dark blue with the v6 and 6 speed. Absolutely my favorite car I've ever owned other than my last accord lol

i spent a good half a year tracking down a 2017 coupe manual but finally grabbed one last year and i love this car. doesn't feel as racy as my old '97 Integra but it's excellent for all the highway driving i do these days. car is handsome as hell and drives great.

If they make new Need for Speed Underground I would like to see this car.

This is a mechanical LSD away from perfection.

I love the way you explain car culture...”when a car feature comes to synonymous with the car itself”...yes

Mr. Regular I got a 2011 V6 automatic coupe a few months ago as a first car, and they are simply beautiful to drive. Even the Auto transmission still lets you rev it to hell and back and the paddle shifters are there if you want to use them. As you said its a very comfortable and logical car that can be treated as a commuter or a sports car, its quite a fun ride. Best part is my dad thinks its a normal Honda in great shape which is what sold him on it. :)

Id like to see Mr Regular review a Mustang II. I'd pay good money to see that.

Awesome video, these things are a blast to drive. Also Honda doesn’t sell to rental car fleets to avoid bringing the resale value down.

Lol this is by far the funniest car review video I’ve ever seen! It’s actually accurate as well... I own a 2016 ex-L coupe v6 manual and it drives similar to my old g35 coupe but is smoother in my opinion. Underrated power, best clutch I have ever owned and looking forward to keeping it naturally aspirated with moderate mods. Thanks for the content

5 years later, im still looking for one.

e621, I bet he figured nobody caught that, I see you dude 😉

There's a good reason the J-series is still around. It's economical for what it is, the higher tier variants have explosive top end power, it's pretty simple and VERY reliable. And they sound great too (my almost 20 year old J32A2 sounds pretty much the same as the J35 in this video). If only Honda automatic transmissions were as good.

I loved this car. Was my first car, a 2008 EX-L. I loved it! Strong engine and great space inside. I miss the days of coupes with usable backseats.

Mine isn't the same exact engine, but I do really appreciate having the V6 in my 2012 accord. It's nice knowing I've got a bit of extra muscle
