The Honda Accord Coupe used to be a mainstay of the Japanese brand’s lineup. The ninth generation ran from the 2013 through 2017 model years. It was brilliant in style, simplicity, and practicality, and Honda still cared about the Accord being fun to drive. The eighth generation was excellent. However, the ninth was more refined while retaining everything else, including its sharp handling, the option for Honda’s surprisingly powerful 3.5-liter V6, and the available manual transmission. It was also the final version. The model is still affordable, comfortable, offers modern power levels, and remains a practical cruiser. However, the V6 with a manual is becoming a rarity.
