Bit unexpected but here's my new car! Just watch the video for the backstory. Here's some VTEC for ya: • 2017 Honda Accord Coup... Check out the GFY Media Group: goo.gl/IH03bN
I have a car question that if anyone that knows about cars could possibly answer please. I bought a 10,000k fully loaded, leather, V6, sunroof ect Honda Accord. 2013. It is a manual. I heard resale are great back on Honda's and it is a manual. Kelly blue book is pricing it around 12k...??? Did I pay to much? Is kbb wrong? Bought from Carmax so I have 30 days to return no questions asked....did I get ripped off? Anyway thanks for any input
Awesome, love the color and wheels look great on it too, lots of luck with it. My friend has the same car as yours only difference is he got his in a bright blue color.
I have a 2016 EX-L V6 6MT. It's a great car. Personally, I would have just kept looking for a manual. They are rare, but they make a huge difference in the fun factor of this car. I have the HFP kit on mine which improves the handling and overall look. Some people don't care for the HFP kit as it is expensive, but I negotiated it into the purchase price of my car at the dealer. I bought a 2016 last summer that had only 2400 miles on it. Perfect condition.
Eh, I'm almost 6 months in and still don't mind the automatic. Still fun as hell to drive, at least to me. Being in the 9G community I've also heard about a lot of tranny issues with the 6-6 so I didn't feel too bad about getting an automatic. As I explained briefly in the video, I wasn't really supposed to end up with this car in the first place, but the 6-6 I wanted to buy was clapped out and there were literally no other ones within 200 miles of my house. The long version of what happened is this: I looked for manuals for several days and found one (and only one), a white 2015 6-6. Went to go look at it. It wasn't detailed, was missing the wheel locks, and overall looked a bit rough but I was desperate and still wanted to buy it anyway (they also were selling it for a good price). That day, the dealership put me in a loaner car, took my old car in on trade and my $2400 down payment. Said the car would be ready to pick up in a few days so I went home satisfied. A few days went by and I got no update on the status of the car. I called in and they said that the car now had to be made CPO and wouldn't say why, and was demanding an additional $3K up front. I later found out it was because they yoyo financed me and were having trouble getting me approved for the relatively high loan amount. I have decent credit so I found this weird (I later learned about loan-to-value ratios). After a couple more days of back and forth, I went back to the dealer in person and asked what the fuck was going on. Not getting a straight answer, and becoming fed up with the entire situation, I looked on their lot and saw a few brand new 17 V6 automatic Coupes left and said I would take one of those instead. That's how I ended up with the car I have now. About 5 minutes after I signed the papers for this car, they told me the previous owner of the white one traded it in because the transmission was grinding and he was having issues with the clutch, and they were going to auction the car before I walked in asking to see it. Moral of the story? Some dealerships are shady as fuck. They had me by the balls though so that's why I still bought a car from them. The salesman that put me through all of that shit actually called me the next day to apologize and sent me a postcard with another apology a month later. I pretty much ignored both bc fuck him. I actually just had the HFP suspension installed last week. Car looks and handles noticeably better now. I'm not really a fan of the body kit tbh.
I was about to comment about getting a cold air intake but you literally said it right as soon as i started typing. Beautiful car, lots of power and reliability out of that v6. Shame they're killing it off. Wish they made the AWD v6 Crosstour with a 6 speed, that'd be a dream car for me lol. Anyways hope you enjoy it, sure you'll probably wind up missing the 6 speed, but Honda autos are really nice and they shift pretty damn smooth and quick.
Yeah I'm really sad about them killing it, but hey I got the last one I could lol. And now I can drive it for a couple decades. I do miss the manual a little but yeah this automatic is very good.
The 2013 Accord was a nice car, but this new one sounds like a great upgrade! Wish they sold this model gen here in the UK, I don't think they even sell the Accord over here any more.
I notice that V6 accord coupes are a little bit louder than the V6 sedan, and both the sedan and coupe have a 5k rpm rev limiter but the rev limiter on the coupe sounds different 🤔
The only coupe that's different from the sedan powertrain wise is the 6 speed manual V6. That version of the J35 doesn't have VCM and VTEC engagement is slightly lower (4400 vs 5150rpm on the auto). The AT V6 coupe and sedan are identical
@@accordinglyryan yeah I did know that the coupe 6 speed manual don’t have VCM and the starter sounds different but I didn’t know of VTEC at 4400k rpms, but you have a 2017 accord coupe V6 automatic and I have a 2017 accord V6 sedan automatic and they sounds a little bit different, your exhaust seems to be louder and when it hits the rev limiter at 5k rpms mine sounds a little bit different
@@samwh4775 I think you're imagining things dude lol. I do have a Borla exhaust + 2 step setup with Ktuner now, but in this video the car was bone stock
@@accordinglyryan yeah I know, that’s why I’m saying that my car sounds different comparing stock to stock, mine is quieter, I saw many videos of accord V6 coupes stock and they all sound better and a little bit deeper, also I’m kinda mad that the coupe V6 have the paddle shifters and mine doesn’t 😡😂
Yeah they're really hard to find lol. The one I mentioned I was gonna buy in the video was the only one within a 200 mile radius from my house, hence why I gave up and got the auto. I've been very happy with it thus far, car has 20,000 miles on it now.
So how does output on this compare to the 8th Generation V6 models? My Malibu may be a much more plain, dated vehicle compared to the Accord, but I beat out my bud's 8th Gen by a noticeable margin on a green-light drag race. I kinda wanna see how mine would perform against yours! Straight-line performance is solid on my Malibu, but it can't corner or stop at all. Congrats on the new bae!
2018 only wins off line cause of traction on a highway roll the v6 wins all day which is why i bought the 2017 touring ahead of a 2018-2020 2.0t plus a v6 just sounds better a 4 cylinder will also sound like a fart can.
Go on cars.com and count how many 16-17 6-6s are for sale right now. Then look at how many aren't black. I can guarantee you it is less than 10 country wide.
@@Vladimir_Lolinco One was replaced in 2019, the other in 2020. I transferred them to my new 9th gen so between the two cars probably 60,000 miles or so
Lol I had my 2013 Accord Coupe for a year and a half, and my Eclipse for 2 and a half years. Side hoes (like my 90 and 98 Accords) don't count :P Planning on having the 2017 for a loooong time, it's basically my dream car and I can't afford to trade it again anyway Of course, still my daily driver and will be for a while. Sold the S8 to Chris last week
Hey what do u think of the auto transmission on this car? I'm currently in the market for a v6 coupe and I'm getting kinda sick of driving manual now cause I mainly drive in the city
The car has 18,000 miles on it now and I'm quite alright with the transmission. I don't really miss the manual all that much, car is still plenty of fun. The only small complaint I have with it is I wish the paddle shifters would respond faster; there's this sort of half-second latency between flicking the paddle and the car actually shifting gears. Other than that though, I have no qualms. It's a pretty good automatic transmission, and it has what Honda calls Grade Logic Control, so 90% of the time it isn't gear-hunting while going up and down hills and such. Wouldn't have any problem recommending it.
@@accordinglyryan Thanks for the info bro. I think I might have to test drive both just in case, but honestly I'm leaning more towards the auto. Love your videos btw

Heh, I've got Ktuner but haven't done much with it yet cause all I have is the Borla axleback and a Vibrant resonator. All I did is improved shifting level 1 and VCM disable. Haven't done CAI cause I don't wanna hydrolock my shit and there are no legal ones for this model year yet, so I just got an aFe filter instead (not the same I know). It's plenty fast for me at this time lol
Ryan Gehret I dont know why people say Hydro lock with a CAI Because it is virtually impossible!! I SAY AGAIN IMPOSSIBLE.. Unless you put your shit in a pond or river.. Iv used them on my 13 accord coupe v6, 15 Accord coupe v6, Pontiac Gtp, Caddy sts, Avalanche, Tahoe, and my buddy's performance shop has them on every single mustang they own which one is worth north of 180,000$.. There is not a rain storm in all of mankind to hydro lock.. I have been in the car and performance bizz for 25 years and have never seen a single problem with a CAI..
Ryan Gehret Lol I'm just telling you.. We also have one in a Hellcat.. I'm from central NY, no body gets more rain.. You would need like 6 gallons of water at once to hydro lock.. Trust me
Nowhere lol. They're not available anywhere anymore as far as I can tell. I smacked a curb a couple years ago and tried to find a replacement with no luck. But they are Axis Sport XQ wheels
@@accordinglyryan damn, those rims fit perfectly on yur accord i was looking to purchase it for my accord, do you know of any rims that resemble the original or no!?
Well, the original dealer that PDI'd the car (In September 2016) wasn't the one that I bought it from, and was about 210 miles away...so I figure once they purchased the car from the original dealer they just drove it back. We do that at my dealership all the time.
I'd rather not say exactly but I got $2,000 off MSRP on the car itself. Considerably more with my rolled over negative equity and interest lol. I did get a good rate through Honda though (1.9%)
