The Evolution Of The Iconic Honda Accord 

the facelifted 9th gen accord with the v6 just does it for me

i have a 1986 honda accord hatchback. that thing is really fun to drive and it looks amazing too. love the third gen hatchbacks

The 88 coup was the car that my parents surprised me with for graduation and I have finally pased it down to my daughter . Did not want to let her go . But the 2024 for is just breath taking had to get 😍

Just found this channel. As a Honda fan still driving my '95 Civic, this is great. That blue 1982 Accord sedan was my first car. 162K miles when I got it, 266K miles when I sold it. You should do a video on Honda's malaise era (~2000s-2016) when Honda ergonomics, interior quality, and driving dynamics were slaughtered by the bean counters.

I miss my old '97 Accord Special Edition. It was a damn good car. Traveled from Atlanta, GA to Cali 4 times cross country. It was the Plum color with the option "vinyl" tan seats, sunroof and the Honda CD player. Mine had the OEM rear decklid spoiler as well. It had 400,000 miles on it when I got rid of it.

I love that you brought up the 6th gen transmission problems as it is the reason you almost never see 6th gen + Accords, preludes, odyssey, and a number of Acuras that were as common as dog hair when they were newer but have since vanished to the automotive grave yard to be transformed into razor blades, soda bottles, etc. They aren't invincible cars.

I've always thought the 2003-07 Accords looked just like the 2005-09 Hyundai Sonota.

The 8th gen is my personal favorite If the 2010 Honda Inspire v6 came in a left hand drive i would've bought it. And also the 2013-2017 Accord v6 hybrid Fully loaded are my favourite.

I'm not upset that Honda doesn't make a manual Accord anymore. I'm upset that people who buy a new Accord don't want a manual.

I've owned a 6th gen coupe EX, a 4th gen lx coupe 5 speed, and now a 9.5 gen touring v6 coupe. I'll always love Accords, it's just unfortunate that there are no sporty models anymore. I think if they had an Si/Type R model and gave it proper advertising, we would still have sporty Accords today. Anyways, I'll keep my 9th gen for as long as I can. I'll probably end up buying many more Accords in the future lol.

Great show Sir ! I remember the first generation Accords back in the day and I always preferred sedans over a crossover in which I would probably buy a Accord and Camry over a crossover from Honda and Toyota .

Well done! I've now watched 2 of your evolution videos and they are great. I know you only do honda/acura but would be great if you did other brands. As an '80s baby i fondly remember the 90s Accords, especially late 90s/00s, those with the V6 were rockets.

The 4th and 6th gen were my faves!❤

I own lunar silver ‘16 9.5 EX currently paying off the car. Got it at 14k now has 154k . My goal s to bag it and keep it clean . Thank you For the content and Honda.

Awesome breakdown of an awesome car. Aside from a short stint with a Civic Si, every car I’ve owned has been a fully loaded variant of an Accord, from my 6th Gen V6, to my 7th Gen K24 manual, to my current 9th Gen V6. When my 9th Gen is paid off, I plan to add a 10th Gen 2.0 6MT to that list. Unfortunately, unless some significant styling changes are made for the 11th Gen in the refresh, that 10th Gen will be my last.

The 5th generation Accord is definitely my favorite. It’s ride/handling characteristics are sublime. It’s handsome and distinctive without being overstyled. The interior is roomy, stylish and comfortable. What’s not to like?

2:35 I wonder if anyone notices that the new accord is like a tribute to the 82 nose panel.

I use my accord to go to work everyday and my wife drops off the kids in the odyssey that is actually what me and my wife do in the morning

1st Acura TSX is the beast.

Awesome video! Really well put together! I remember my grandma bought a 98' Accord EX Sedan brand new off the lot to replace her and my grandpas 86' Cadillac haha. She had that car FOREVER, right up until she passed. It only had 60,000 miles on it! 🤯 I wanted to buy it so bad but had no place to store it so we decided to sell it, it sold in TWO DAYS! The car had a few offers but we sold it to a guy who lived in her neighborhood who approached us and BEGGED to buy it, Said he had seen the car all these years in front of her house and was somewhat of a Honda collector and had been looking forever for an original untouched Accord with low miles. My grandma only ever drove it around town and to the store. So funny how after 25 years that car held its value and had multiple people interested 🤣 Anyway, that was long but I had to share! Awesome vid and really love your channel! Keep up the great work! 💯

I had that red ‘88 DX hatch. Both rear control arms snapped en-route, not at the same time.

7th Gen 2007 (7.5 ) Accord EX-L 244,ooo miles going to try and keep it FOREVER FOR- EVER !!!

Yo tengo 2 d segunda generación!! Y son incomparables!! Mod 82 y después d 40 años son autos d diario!!💪🏻🇨🇷

In my family, we have owned every generation Accord except for the 1st, 7th and 9th generations. My current car is a '21 Accord Touring 2.0T, which happens to be my second 10th gen Accord, of which both have been 2.0T models. The 10th gen is also my favorite of all the Accord generations. People who never owned the 10th gen with the 2.0T engine truly missed out on an amazing car. It is so good at just about everything. I wouldn't even remotely consider replacing my '21 with the extremely bland and weak '23 model. What a colossal disappointment that car is. I wouldn't even mind the bland design so much if Honda hadn't nixed the 2.0T. I wish they had dropped the 1.5T engine, offered the hybrid as their primary engine and offered the 2.0T for those of us who actually prefer better performance. I've owned 11 Hondas and 8 Acuras. I've driven nothing else since 1985 when I got my first Honda. When I replace my '21, (which will likely be a while), I will very likely leave Honda. I do not like the direction they're heading in. As a Honda loyalist all these years, when I look at the '23 model, I'm almost embarrassed for Honda.

My favorite Honda accord is 9 th generation 2017 2.4 which I have right now. I think that the best looking Honda accord ever.

I have 2 units of 2nd Gen Accord ... one is fully manufactured original Japan cvcc and the other one is usdm imported material and local assembled type non cvcc engine ....

The Accord's simple and easy to use switchgear was loved greatly by Uncle Jack with his tiny hands.

I wish you would have mentioned or make a video about how in the 7th 8th and 9th generation Accord Coupes V6 you could get something called in hfp Honda Factory performance package!!!!!!! I myself have a seventh-generation 2004 V6 6 speed manual Accord coupe with the hfp package with every single possible option you could get when they were brand-new the hfp package comes with a front lip rear lip side skirts spoiler bigger wider Wheels bigger brake package lowered suspension from the factory strip bars sway bars leather heated seats carbon fiber look-alike pieces on the interior I WILL SAY IT COMPLETELY CHAGES THE LOOK!!!!!!! I myself have always been a owner and fan of your typical Golden Era Hondas 90s Civics integra's CRX Honda S2000 xcetera but something about the Honda Accord V6 coupe in the 7th 8th and 9th generation but especially the Seventh Generation if I park next to another Accord V6 coupe and it does not have the hfp package you wouldn't even think they were the same car parked next to each other I mean it actually makes the Accord look quite aggressive and much much much more sporty I've had multiple other Accord owners come up to me and ask me what I've done to get my car to look like this and when I tell them that it's all OEM on the outside of other than the fact that I changed out the OEM lowered suspension for aftermarket coil overs to drop it down just a little bit more then they're shocked that you could have bought one looking the way mine does I just never see anybody that makes accord videos talk about the rare hfp package I know that for each particular generation of the 7th 8th and 9th I think they only made 500 hfp Coupes for each generation or 500 altogether I can't remember pretty rare I love mine it's only got 60K original miles is all original on the exterior other than being a little lower the rest of the money I have put into refreshing everything suspension and under the hood but also I have added cold air intake j-pipe AKA a header and pre cat deletes 2.5 inch Cat-Back exhaust bigger 3.7 intake manifold and throttle body to match ported and Polished intake Runners intake manifold spacer throttle body spacer and an Acura TL ECU so that I was able to tune it with hondata on the dyno making around 300 HP at the wheels is perfect for a daily driver I have a 1995 Civic Coupe it is my Built track car with a K24 block and K20 head But the hfp Accord is the perfect balance between luxury and a sporty look and I have pissed off plenty of other Honda owners also bigger V6 like 350Z and 370Z other Mustang and Camaros that make anywhere from 3 to 400 HP and even Challenger and Charger RT and this is only the 3.0 engine with these mods I plan to eventually do a 3.7 L engine swap out of the Acura TL sh all-wheel-drive

This uncle Jack slander is crazy

I own a JDM 7th Gen EuroR accord with K20A, 6speed manual and LSD, I think in my opinion that was the peak accord

My dad had the 3rd a generation but in Pakistan no pop up head light I had a 05 Accord

I got TWO WAGAONS ACCORDS>>>THAT is correct 1996's TWO of them EX!!! GREEN ACCORD WITH 385K and Tan with only 200K..LOVE THEM..

I'm disappointed you didn't show the 9.5 gen accord.

I owned 8th and 9th generation Accords, along with two Civics. The 8th generation, I loved because of the body style and the roominess of the vehicle. A 4 cylinder motor in the 8th generation and a V6 in the 9th. I just traded in my 9th generation w/262,000 because the automatic tranny was becoming problematic. I ended up getting a 23 Pilot. I have driven nothing but Honda since 95 and have been a Honda fan since the 85 Accord. However, when Honda discontinued the V6 in 17, I was done with the Accord. Additionally, I can’t stand the exclusion of the 4 cylinder 2.2 or 2.4 motors in the Accord. The turbo motors do not last and the 1.5, 4 cylinder motor is too much of a dummying down of power. I understand the importance of the hybrid motor but I still think the consumer should have the option for a higher output 4 cylinder motor or a V6. I purchased the Pilot mainly because it still has the V6 motor. I was this close to switching allegiance and going to Toyota and the V6 Camry. IMO, after test driving a Camry, the pickup was slow and the Honda still seemed sportier than the Camry. In closing, I think you did a great job with the video. A nice walk down memory lane seeing the 80s- early 2000 Accords.

I drive a 6 th gen

I wish they'd bring back the wagon i may not even look at a crv if they did

Forgot to add the japan accord also considered the tsx in America just saying

Surprised you didn’t talk about the japan only type r accord

I assume North America never got the Accord Euro?

Ya bro no manual no fun.. 😢

Had an ‘04 V6 6spd coupe and am driving a ‘21 Touring 2.0T. Absolutely love the Accord, shame what they did with this ‘23, it’s just UGLY.

My favorites are the 3rd, 5th Specifically the '96-'97 model years, because the tail lights look better, the 6th gen " 2002 " year, anf 7th gen 2006- 2007 years. The 11th gen is just boring, all the new Hondas now look the same.

Timing belts have been Honda's version of terminal cancer since the beginning. Honda's aren't invincible by any stretch of the imagination.

It’s because they have lost the meaning, identity or character of what the original Accord was about. 🎉
