Honda Accord 2.0t FWD Races VW Arteon AWD and Dodge Charger GT 4 AWD | Drag and Roll Race 

Hhahahahahahaha

Was it a full tank of fuel in the accord?

🤣

Ronnie is that a sport or touring? I feel like the touring is a tad faster than the sport.

@@dozie6650 touring

Says a Honda driver...

Don't get that Honda in the UK so would have to go for the vw

They're not anywhere close as reliable anymore with the current generation of forced induction engines. I keep seeing these reliability posts regarding Hondas but it's one of those things that USED to be true and people just keep running with those stats. Things change over time. Go update yourself.

@@BN99239 Actually, they still are. Not bashing, just speaking from a mechanic point of view. My shop has had a few Hondas, but nothing to suggest the newer FI generation is less reliable (although still not on Toyota/Lexus level).

Reliability still belongs to Toyota .. Sorry

True. Arteon is too heavy. 1.7 tonne. I believe Accord is less than 1.5 tonne

That’s a long way of saying power/weight ratio lol

@@mholmes9262Thanks, that's the term I was looking for. 🤦‍♂️

Honda definitely underrated the accords numbers on paper.

The torque values would've been nice for them to add too. They did a good job with displaying hp/lbs but torque is a very important equation to consider. Technically also gearing, but then things get confusing.

how r you doing so far ?

Thanks for coming :)

You need a hemi ;-)

What’s your ig

U should have drove the demon or hellcat then this would have been a different story. Mopar still rocks!

@@tyronnfields7945 oh I wishh!! One day that’ll be reality

I have a 2015 V6, was skeptical about the 4 cyl 2.0 T but im a believer now. Not ready to jump into another car payment but will go test drive one lol

@@randymadison5131 I was just like you. I owned a 2015 V6 touring and was hesitant on the 2.0t, now I’m an owner of 2.0t sport. 2.0t sounds like crap, but pulls hard when you need it to. First time I test drove 2.0t I could feel how much lighter it was compared to the 3.5.

The 2.0T is just wonderful

Yes, I have the 2020. Amazing fun car

Me too. I was an Infiniti guy but have loved my 2018 2.0T

Show data, otherwise. Hearsay

Also what Dyno you used as dynojets tend to read high whereas mustang dynos read low.

@@berrymucuckiner4890 it’s actually true. The proof is all over RU-vid. Honda did under rated it. I’m assuming because they wanted sales to push for the Type R as well considering that the accord 2.0 has the same exact engine inside of it. The proof is in the power if you drive one too. Definitely does not feel like 252 it feels way more powerful then that. Don’t underestimate it. It’s a good car.

They don’t even give it full boost from the factory, simple tune and you’re fast af boi

Honda’s lie about their Hp.. Dey make it low.. but on the dyno it reads high.. but my advice is you don’t just race Honda’s they got speed..

The Charger isn't pointless (yes it needs a refresh) but they are bargains. Roomy, powerful with a really reliable engine that gets pretty good gas mileage for its size. Also, the Accord and the Charger are in different classes!

Put supercharger on that pointless v6 and you'll have your self neck to neck with the scat pack and no where near scat pack price not to mention I rather ride around in a charger then a damn Honda lol

Arteon is a major disappointment considering it's way more expensive than the other two

@@ralphpownall842 Put a bigger turbo on that 2.0T Accord and youd be beating scat packs, 5.0 mustangs and camaros all day

@DeathStrike1477 Lmaoo

TLX Type S has a beefed up awd version of it, Can't wait to see how it does on the street and after the aftermarket gets on it.

@@JrVtec facts! was thinking about getting one in June, but I'm going with a Supra instead

Ford or GM created the first 10 speed automatic transmission.

Get a Arteon R GT from Germany, 320 hp

@@jeffhenjes1722 Well being we can't the 300 HP 2022 will have to do. It would still make this more interesting.

The "Throttle House" channel has those two exact races!! This types of races are probably more fun than some exotic cars races in my opinion!

The accord launches quicker with that amazing transmission but then gets walked down by the power of the type R.

Golf R DNA in that arteon. It’s just too heavy to keep the pace up with the de-tuned 2.0

@@legostarwarsrulez The Arteon wins in the launch which is where weight had the most impact. The Accord just has a better power band.

@@spoton3278 the all wheel drive and low end torque is what gave it the edge on the launch, despite its extra weight. If the accord had all wheel drive it wouldn’t even be close. Once the all wheel drive was irrelevant and everyone got rolling, the arteon’s weight and de-tuned motor caught up to it.

100%!! Driving the Sport in Normal mode vs Sport mode - it's like a completely different car. Although Normal mode "can be" fast if you punch it hard, but Sport mode is quick all the time.

Would love to see it against the C300 especially. They want to race absolutely everything they see on the road 🤣

Lol

@@kevinyu5802 My friends have 2019 C300 and 2021 Accord Sport. They're both equally fast. It depends who has a better launch. A4 2.0T Quattro is slightly faster than both.

Reliability Honda wins

beat all of them with my accord 2.0T closest was with an a4.

You are right. I got 2018 2.0 and I mostly see the Sport on the road

@@honestmike6976 it’s because us 1.5 most of us ain’t know there was a 2.0 just saw sport n saw the car for looks and said “yea this is the car I want”……That and cause can’t couldn’t afford the 2.0 lol

@@markerx12 tbh I didn't know the difference until the sales person explained it to me.

Not everyone.... :):):)

Aye don’t get me wrong the 2.0 is faster but not by that much, I have a 1.5 an jumped behind the wheel of my friends 2.0 an that’s really not a big difference an isn’t really worth paying the extra 6000$

@Awan Aseel ROFLMAO.

Whomever in the Arteon making us look bad and the Honda don't count cause it lighter, not fair 💯

@@crystalboo938 what are you talking about? I won on every launch, the couple of times you Seen the other cars pull from a dig, is because the trans overheated and went into limp mode. I'm the only one on 20"s and drivetrain loss

Thank you for your kind words! More to come

I agree it's nice to see actual car content, not annoying hosts that hit the RU-vid lottery with cars thrown in.

This is a 100% accurate statement.

i got the same car but mines is the sedan. i love those 7th gen accord. it’s probably the only car that honda has ever offered with a v6 manual in sedan.

Spot on. In a traffic light race it would be the Arteon every time unless you're willing to go illegally fast.

Not to 60 but 0-30

@@susanweinberg8217 Arteon does 60 in 5.3 seconds. Accord does it in 5.5. Charger does it in 6.3 or something like that.

@@thatinformativeguy 🤣

@@thatinformativeguy I own a 19 SEL R-Line Arteon and the 0-60 stock is more like 6.3 🐌 (low 5’s with a stage 1 tune). We’re extremely heavy (4000 lbs) and the 8 speed AISIN is meant for comfort unlike the DSG in the euro specs and the 2023. I was barely beating base model Civics before my APR tune. Our power shows up more after 3rd gear and really pulls around 4th/5th.

Accord looks better

As an arteon owner I fully agree. You can peep mine on IG @jaquesspot

Yes I agree

No arteon is looks better in and out, and quicker, but Honda is faster 😢 😅

Not only the best looking car VW has ever produced, it has to be top 5 among all 4 door sedans on sale today...and that includes it's Audi cousin.

Thank you :)

It’s also very outdated in the interior and not nearly worth the price, IMO. At least in the US.

@@pmiahky what do you mean the interior is outdated? It has all the latest screen tech, but stopping short of going full Tesla and having to control the AC through a screen. And don’t worry about pricing. These aren’t doing well at all because (predictably) everyone wants an SUV, so you can easily find these brand new for $5k off MSRP

Great race between the turbo cars,but don't knock the Charger too badly. I think it's normally aspiration engine will last a whole lot longer and it's a much more comfortable and has more room. All of these cars are nice but their is a lot more to a Caroline these than a drag race I bet the VW will be the first on in the repair shop followed by the Honda for Turbo problems .

I would rather be seen in the charger than the vw or the honda🤣

@@-BerryFM- not with that shitty sxt badge on the back of it lol

🤐

The difference in curb weight. The Accord is so much lighter than the other 2 cars.

The Accord doesn't need AWD to pull hard. AWD only helps in these types of races on the launch, which is why the Arteon was so much quicker out of the hole than the Accord. After they get rolling AWD doesn't help with acceleration, and the Accord's much lighter weight let it easily reel in the heavier Arteon.

the accord actually has 280 HP

@@danielredziniak2996 listed as 252

I have a Sport 2.0T, and it continually amazes me with how hard it pulls. TBH it feels like it wants to take flight!! ;););)

Naah...arteaon looks like typical German car only....I don't see any speciality

I have a funny story. A short while after I got an Accord Sport 2.0T, I came up to a stoplight leading to a highway in front of me. No cars in front of me. Had it in Sport mode, and when the light changed I punched it. Little did I know (I really didn't), there was a Civic Type R in the lane next to me. After I punched it, he must have thought I was trying to race him, so all of a sudden I hear the car next to me punching it, and it was then that I noticed it was a Civic Type R!! I quickly backed down once I hit 60-70 due to the road geography, but until that time we were pretty much even. ;);) I was truly only looking to have fun with my new 2.0T and had no idea that guy was even there. Meanwhile he's probably thinking, look at this Accord Sport owner trying to embarrass me!! hahaha

@@WRjockey Did you get the 10AT? If so they should know they really never stood a chance, you have 4 more forward ratios and your transmission shifts faster than a human hand can. This isn't the first time I have seen/heard of an Accord 2.0T taking its Civic Type R cousin. It pains me to say this because I learned to drive in a 94 Acura Integra GS 5MT, but automatics aren't going anywhere, manuals aren't changing & because of that they're so hard to find in North America on new vehicles.

@@ljpr360 Yes I have the 10AT. I wouldn't say I "took" him, but neither did he pull away from me. But then, it was such a short period of time that it wasn't very useful from an evaluation standpoint. It was just a humorous situation, to me. If I'm not mistaken though, I think I read from one of the car mags that tested them, that the Sport 2.0T is only 1/10 sec slower than the Type R when doing 0-60. Have you heard that?

@@WRjockey I've seen several post better times in the Accord as well as a few races where the Accord won. I drove my friends' 2018 2.0T 6MT & the 10AT is always going to be faster. That's why Acura uses a strengthened tuned version in the Type S TLX & MDX.

I would not try to run an Accord unless my car is making well over 300hp lol

"Always think twice when you pull up to a light to this grocery-getter." 😂 Said beautifully. Love my grocery-getter.

Accord Touring is 3420 lbs. Charger GT is 4200 lbs. Arteon AWD is 3900 lbs.

Light to light the Arteon will always win, but anything else she's at a complete loss with the drivetrain loss lol

Yep. A stage 1 APR at the very least..

@@nelsonvanvickle8862 they have arteon gt in EU which is around 400 hp 2.0 t awd , even the engine from this arteon is good like u mentioned stg1 the golf R and arteon sharing same engine but difference is weight

@@nelsonvanvickle8862 I have 2021 arteon right fully loaded and also a cc 2014 stg3 beast

I just Chargers on a reg🤷‍♂️

It's a Charger GT with the base 3.6l engine. It's heavy...R/T, SRT, and the Hellcat Chargers are on a whole other level.

Ya until the charger's bigger powerplant siblings walk all over the Accord and Arteon.

​@@colbycraig8418 Right would completely wipe them out.

That was a whole purpose of the matchup! All vehicles similarly matched with displacement and power. Honda can bring in it’s big brother the NSX and smoke everything with a dodge badge and VW can use a multitude of vehicles in it’s array as it’s big brother to represent the group and the same results will ensue.

honda is going to take over New Integra (they posted on thier ig) NSX hybrid NSX type s Civic Type R (2022 coming with 400 hp and awd and hybrid) Honda s3000 (as we hope)

Since the Arteon has an "R-line" in Canada, what would be the difference between this and an Arteon R? Interested in this car so would love to know 🙂

@@kevinyu5802 The Arteon R is only sold in Europe. It has a 2.0T pushing over 310 HP and awd with torque vectoring on the rear axle and a seven speed dual clutch from the GTi. It also does 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. So yes, it would destroy all these cars.

@@kevinyu5802 R Line in Canada is just cosmetic. The Rs in Germany have the golf R internals (engine & trans). German/EU vehicles (as opposed to NA) also get dual direct injection and port injection. It's nice in the long run reliability and power wise.

Hondas siempre serán lo mejor y te va durar más que otros carros

I’ve already walked it. Sorry but that transmission in the Malibu just can’t touch the 10 speed auto

Because some people live in snow placed and opt to buy a awd v6 charger. I personally like the comparison since nobody ever compares the V6 versions of the charger. 🤷

@@dnegel9546 while I agree, they should've done the v6 RWD. Awd is too niche and no one buys those as much as the regular V6

@@trialbygaming4588 from what I've read the biggest problem with the V6 is the rear end gearing. I am curious to see if the V6 charger can give the accord a run. 🤔

@@dnegel9546 I think even with the RWD v6 the accord will mop it, buy I feel it would be a closer race downlow, but no matter what once that turbo kicks in full throttle it'll pass the charger

Makes like 238 to the wheels.. There are dyno videos. Stock 87 vs 93

252 is the new 276 apparently.

@@TheSpink02 Right!

I have a Honda lawnmower and the more I think about it, that thing has got to be sandbagging as well.

Top speed is 4mph but when I was cutting yesterday the GPS on my phone says I was doing 5.2 mph.

@@TheSpink02 Wonder if YT has lawnmower racing videos??!!

It was just hot as fuck. All I was focused on was getting to the end so I could roll my windows down tbh. So please excuse my face, which has absolutely nothing to do with my driving ability

Lmao

Is not my brother had the 2.0 manual and is trash he had to return it that’s why they stop making them is too soft on the gear and clutch, feels like a momns car, while the 10speed auto is wayy different

The Accord can be tuned just the same. Have owned both VW and now a 2.0 Accord. Nothing but good things to say about both brands. We are on a stage 3 tune on our Accord and the gain is amazing. Biggest advantage of the Honda is the price and ease of tuning. Both also have turbo upgrades, intercooler upgrades, etc available. Biggest advantage of VW is that awd is available to take better advantage of big turbo builds at high power levels. Still, stock turbo Accords are into the low 12's so they aren't bad considering.

Yeah thats cute but what will you do if the accord is stage 1 too 🤔

Honda is similar to BMWs, that accord is making like 300hp lol

252hp is lower than the actual figure perhaps.

@@drivescene6747 not quite 300 hp..cuz ultimately it traps like 99-100 mph in the 1/4 mile on a good run. Def underrated, somewhere in the 270ish crank (93 octane). The BIGGEST advantage to the Accord is its weight. Sport trim at 3300 lbs and Touring at 3400 lbs. Now the 2021's got a bit heavier, Sport is now 3370lb and Touring is 50 lbs heavier. Most of its competition range in the 3550-3600lbs.

@Drive Scene I think someone did a test and it punches 280 or 290 close though and the transmission helps

It still doesn’t make sense how it run other cars that have more horsepower then is so something is there that they don’t figure out as yet
