swr Nismo dam every shift.. that's insane. But what's even more insane id's so littlemanuals.. it's going to be rare like the 6 speed accord coupes.. I'm keeping my 2012 6x6 for a couple of years.. maybe forever

they will and would buy even more if the higher trims had them or if Honda reintroduces the accord coupe, because it is a better fit there.

I love manual transmission

The Honda team does a great job there in Ohio!

I also work in supply chain. Interesting to get your feedback on builds.

Then buy the manuals. Manufacturers are at the point of bending over backwards to offer them. They won't last much longer with car enthusiast's youtube cries alone.

My current car is a manual, a 2016 MX5 and two cars before I had a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that was also a manual. I took a hit on the 2015 Volvo that I had in between them to get rid of that automatic car, I hated driving it.

they cant because they are not available in the trims people want, only the lowed in most cases, with a few exceptions, well almost none, if available at all. We want to but cannot, it was a self fulfilling prophecy, people are not buying them they would say right after they eliminated it in the model they were buying same with coupes. Honda sold 20,000 -40,000 or so accord coupes each year, and that is only 10% of accord sales but still quite good, that was considered a non seller by Honda account so they just discontinued it and say, nobody was buying it, as if 20,000-40,000 is no body.

Bah, you keep talking about them, but people aren't buying them. You'd think everyone on KZfaq drives and buys manual transmission, but barely anyone buys them in reality. It's just like station wagons, diesel passenger cars and EVs. The share of the market that is loved by the youtube puffers is very tiny.

Which ones are bending over backwards? I can only think of two and the Hondas usually sell pretty well. I think only Mazda and Honda are offering them in their midsize sedans, after their coupes were discontinued. And there are no midsize fwd family sedan derived coupes to be found that I know of, so it's 4 doors are an suv or crossover and an automatic. I think Honda would not have so many accords on the lot, if you could get other trims in manual, (say 5%) and of course the coupe that sold between 10-20% of the total. What's really hurting Honda is a large number of people will not touch a CVT, no matter how good with a ten foot pole, and many of them dont want a manual either, so they keep their old Honda or shop elsewhere, and there is plenty of good competition with good automatics. I guess offerring them in the one , usually the, lowest trim level is bending over backwards? It's like they are saying, take the worst and be happy you got anything mentality, and dont complain, shut up, or we will take that one away also. But I am glad Honda makes really good manuals, at a really good price and at least have one trim with it that is available for us who love them, and mazda too. Mazda needs to move the manual trim level up a notch or two and add it to the 2,5 liter ASAP, they could easily become the best driving and sportiest midsize sedan with the new 2.5 turbo and a great 6 or 7 speed manual, rev matching, handbrake, upgraded suspension and exhaust note. Until than Accord reigns supreme among manual fwd midsized/large sedans. Zoom Zoom.

I love Honda, super glad they're still offering manuals

I miss the S2000

Luis O it's an accord? Why would it he anything other than fwd?

Luis O correct. But I still respect the manual. I’d never own a Honda again though.

Honda still puts inferior transmissions in family cars.....lmfao. DCT is the future

Well in that case, everyone should be driving 2 seat mazda miatas

Joseph G. Hotto yuck no the fuck they shouldn’t I remember those cheaply made ugly cars

@@joeyGalileoHotto That's why I have a Miata. I have a Honda Civic to haul stuff but 90% of the time I'm driving by myself in the Miata. SUV/crossover are embarrassing in my opinion. Not sure why Americans love them so much. You can still get the same utility with a hatchback or midsize sedan.

for some it isn't always about having a 4 person family...some are DJs, musicians, artists (painters, installation, etc) who travel with things and also may have friends and family that they commute/travel with.

@@Hboogie182 yea I went to look at cars today, and some dealerships ONLY had the ugly fuvkin crossovers. I'd pay to NOT drive em

I need to test drive one. I was going to get a 2020 Civic SI but I'm not so sure anymore.

After one year are you still loving your Accord?

How’s the maintenance on it

@@dylon8425 other than honda trying to get me to remove carbon from my engine at 15k miles and wanting to charge 350$ to do it, it's been pretty painless and I have not had any issues so far at 22k miles.

@@johnpiccini Did you buy anything yet?

I just bought one to. Mine is blue.

It's the turbo

How do you like it ? Is the cvt bad or does it have a good response.

I also have the 1.5t sport cvt. It honestly gets up and goes. Really responsive cvt

im still upset, they just cut out 20-40000 sales per year, because they could not be bothered? and a manual 2.0 of that would have been off the charts, maybe next year. I dont think anyone has a fwd midsize coupe available in the USA?

Tigerex966 nope? The Honda Civic coupé fills that role since it's much bigger now. They figured buyers would buy the civic coupé instead.

Tigerex966 only state the coupe sold well in was here in California.

jmasoncar s source?

www.cars.com/articles/whats-the-best-alternative-for-the-honda-accord-coupe-1420696590948/ I guess all 20000 sold there :)

Me too I have Blue still night pearl only mod I did was a oil catch can if you want to call that a mod. I love my car!!

William Heinsinger its cool when a magazine is paid off to spew nonsense. Car and driver are the worst.

me too

Claire Kennedy Have you not gotten a vehicle yet for yourself? It’s been like foreverrrr.

😍

Love you more

@@whyg6703 thank u 😊

Congrats on the new Accord, that's awesome! I'm so glad the video helped!

Michael Andrew, for me the manual transmission is all important so I would not even look at the Mazda 6 since it is limited to the slow, poorly equipped base model only. The Civic Si is too over styled especially in the rear with those fake plastic vents so I’m waiting to see the 2019 refreshed version later this year and the all new Mazda 3. Lastly the VW GTI is at the top of my list, especially now that VW offers the best in the business 6 year 72000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. As for the Accord, 2.0T Turbo Sport all the way. It’s better equipped with satellite radio, sunroof and more, still with a manual option and fast as hell, just the total package.

It should have a sport tuned suspension hello it’s the Sport!

Gipsy Avenger thank you for getting a manual. Hopefully more people do. Honda Mazda and Subaru are our last hope for manual midsize sedans

Mazda not so much.

You can drive mine for review if you want. Located up here in NE

Sean Roose Honda just dropped the manual in the Accord

Still doing ok?

It's definitely worth a test drive!

I own a 2.0T Touring and it's amazing

@@TheCarCrazyGuy The 1.5T is better

Civic Si much better handler. MUCH better.

I went out to buy a 2019 Si. I was sold. Then I asked the salesman if he had a manual accord to compare it to. For me personally, the accord is much more upscale, comfortable, and I found myself smiling more in the accord sport. I liked the refinement and losing the boy-racer look of the Si. Needless to say, I went with the accord, talking them down to what I would have paid for the civic Si out the door. Just my two cents.

jmasoncar s the accord barely edges out the Camry. Toyota would get the most improved award and they also kept their V6

Pablo Herasme it is definitely the most improved for sure but it has yet to win any awards.

Pablo Herasme everyone seems to be stuck on the V6 thing. They dont sell. Toyota kept the v6 becuase it was cheaper. Cars.com has 28,700 new camrys available in the U.S, only 3000 are V6's

jmasoncar s that’s because the V6 is at the two most expensive trim levels, we can say the same for the previous gen Accord.

The V6 is what gave the car the soul. While the 2.0T is torquey as hell it actually got beat my a V6 coupe on a rolling start.
