Why You Should Get A "Used" Japanese V6 For Your Daily Driver 

Its hard to believe that the Accord your driving is 20 years old now…. It’s in such great condition, and doesn’t look it’s age.. you’ve made great points about purchasing a used accord of similar a model. 👍🏽

06 V6 here. Great daily driver. Exactly as you mentioned. Bought from an old lady, garage kept, all maintenance records, only 50k miles for $6k in 2020. Now up to85k and have put on all new breaks, spark plugs, oil changes every 5k and drain and fill on the transmission a few times (honestly that’s a pain). Otherwise first major issue came up recently with the blower motor for ac stopping. Ended up being a wiring issue. Great discussion on a great car! Keep the videos coming, the slower temp etc is great change of pace from other RU-vid accounts

Took me a little over a year to find the car i was looking for in excellent condition and maintained with all records!! Just bought my 2009 accord coupe V6 manual and worth paying a little more to me. I plan to keep it forever. Took so long to find because most of the cars i found were located up above the rust belt (Virginia or more North). Found mine garage kept its whole life in Texas!! Paid for it to get hauled to NC. Absolutely a blast to drive. Not even needing to aggressively drive and the acceleration and torque on the low end is amazing. My S2000 i had to really get the rpm's up above 5000 into VTEC before really feeling some torque. Only downfall I have with the accord is the little plastic valve in the clutch slave causes the clutch disengagment delay if youbwant to fast shift at high rpm's. That will end up cooking the clutch over time. So Im definitely going to remove that little plastic valve.. Other than that an amazing fun car to drive. Would recommend to anyone looking, if you find a good one buy it!!!

Lol, I did a lot of research on whether I should get a V6 before, and even after purchasing it, this video is still being recommended by youtube. I have been driving different kind of 4 cylinder manual for my entire life and just got a 2GR V6. The low-end torque is different from a regular 4-cylinder engine. The sad thing is they don't come with a manual transmission from the factory. Sometimes, I still jerk when starting to move the car because there is no clutch to control the startup lol

I have a 2003 Toyota camry with a 1mz-fe I fucking love it

I drive a 2012 Accord v6 MT coupe. Insane bang for your buck. Bought it for $10k in 2017 at 76k miles. It's up to 160k and I just dropped it off for its first major maintenance.

I completely agree bro! We have a pre-owned V6 camry 06, V6 Accord 08, and V8 X5 03 back home and for the price, you get ALL THE OPTIONS for a fraction of the price. Yes they are reliable.... except for the german hahaha!

for honda V6, timing belt replacement unofficially is 10 year or 200k miles , whatever comes first. Years are more of a toll on belt than km. I drive a 2017 v6 accord with 160k miles, timing belt never changed.

I own an 8th gen V6 Accord. It’s a great car. The only downside is the VCM system that made the engine sounded a bit rough each time when it deactivates it’s cylinders. And it’s suspension were set more towards the sporty side & felt a little stiff. Ironically I still love the 7th gen Accord V6 & probably would add that to my collection list. The engine felt more refine without the VCM & it’s suspension is rather comfy which I’m a fan of it!

I daily drive a 2007 Honda Accord V6. Its the most powerful car ive had out of 4 cars. I had a timing belt snap because of shitty maintenance and it was cheap parts. I've only put 8500 miles on it in a year but it's been flawless except a parasitic draw from the anti theft system so i have to drive it daily or it goes dead in a week. Paint is flawless except one tiny spot on the driver side by the mirror where it's a spot of clear coat peel.

I used to have a 2017 Accord V6, and I’ve always liked a V6 more than a I4 it had a pretty road bust acceleration and it was a torquey engine.

7th gen v6 have timing belt and way more transmission issues. Thats why I’d suggest 4 cylinder for this gen accord

I lost an opportunity to buy super clean accord coupe. I got scarred with the 6k price tag and 160K mileage.

1998 Honda Accord Coupe V6 217k miles Yes the infamous transmission slips, but I've put almost 60k miles on it. Bought the car for $700 with 160k miles. The J30 V6 has been dead reliable. Not sure I could go back to the old Pontiacs/Buicks after this. All I can say is I got my money's worth. Shame 98-02 V6 Accord's didn't get a manual option.

I have 2016 v6 sedan. It's not exactly the car i wanted but i couldnt find a coupe and a v6

Are the 6 cylinders in the Subaru Outback any good?

Just have to be carful with some years of the v6 j series Honda engines. Have personally experienced and seen many fail due to the VCM(variable cylinder management).

I remember when I had an electric remote control car and the rechargeable battery lost its charging ability overtime

Golly I am hard headed...my current Mach 1 started life as a 4 banger stick shift escort for fuel economy. LOL! No vehicle I own is known for fuel economy 🤣🤣

Thats weird, I'm driving a used Korean v6... with two turbos for my daily driver. I'm driving a 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 and my weekend car is a 97 C5 Corvette.

Really? A v6 has more power then a 4 cylinder? Thanks captain obvious!
