2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring - Redline: Review

- Опубліковано 15 лют 2017
- Even though America can't get enough SUV's, family sedans are still a very important segment for auto manufactures. Take a look at the latest Accord, Honda still consistently sells over 350,000 annually. This latest 2017 model has all the luxury and tech features to make Acura jealous, but is it still one of the best family cars on the market?

Give me this exterior, engine and wheels and the 2018 interior...perfect car
Mai-Lien Hoang, NOOO don’t go to Nissan. You’ll be left on the side of the road because of their shitty CVTs
@Mai-Lien Hoang talk about brand loyalty when a company releases 1 car that you dont like so instead of checking other one of their offerings you go to a worse company lmao
@Mai-Lien Hoang Lmao you went to Nissan. That speaks for itself.
@Mai-Lien Hoang and which nissan do you feel is better than the new accord?
@Mai-Lien Hoang lol the 2.0turbo 4l is faster
I drive a 2016 Accord V6 Touring and LOVE it. I have almost 22K miles on it and got it new on May 28th 2016 (I drive a lot for work). My fuel economy average is 27MPG and I do NOT drive gently. I really love the engine for its power and refinement. The 6-speed auto can be a little dimwitted sometimes but in most cases, the transmission is responsive enough. If I was driving 70MPH and punched it...it's quite amazing how quickly this car gains speed. 100MPH is only a few blinks away...serene blinks at that.
The audio system is OK at best...and YES...the back deck rattles with the sub. I replaced the 4 6.5" speakers with aftermarket 3-way speakers and the sound really brightened up and the mid bass was definitely punchier. The system can play louder now and I was able to lower the subwoofer volume to help reduce the rattling but not reduce the overall bass output because of the new speakers' added punch. Also, the lack of a volume knob is annoying at first but you quickly become accustomed to the touch slider and steering wheel controls.
Apple Car Play is FANTASTIC! I love being able to have full control over my phone without having to touch it...at all. There's a Siri button on the steering wheel and I'm able to make calls, compose/read messages, listen to Podcasts and iTunes music, Pandora or even Spotify. Since the Touring V6 comes with a Garmin navigation unit already, I usually default to that function but I can also use Apple Maps to "take me to nearest Starbucks". Sometimes the head unit can be a little glitchy...but nothing a car-restart can't fix.
I think this car rides GREAT. The comments I always get from passengers is how smooth the car is and how it seems to flow down the road. The suspension does a great job of soaking up bumps and is well damped. The impacts can be slightly firm at times but that never translates into a harsh ride. The steering has a nice heft to it and points the car's nose exactly where you want it to go. The overall handling is surprising. I am able to take on and offramp must faster than you'd normally feel comfortable taking them. There's not much lean and I have yet to hear any tire squeal. I know this car will understeer but the threshold is certainly higher than the more plebeian Accord (non-Sport) offerings.
The brakes are pretty strong but my rotors are already warped. I think that has to do with the collision mitigation system. More on that in a second. The brake pedal is progressive and there's a strong initial bite and then progressive pedal travel. The brakes are easy to modulate and you always know how much braking you're going to get. It's a nice peace of mind.
The Honda Sensing technologies can be annoying at times. The active cruise control is so sensitive at times that it'll brake MUCH harder than it needs to to maintain a set distance (1, 2, 3 or 4 car lengths behind). The collision mitigation system is also sensitive in that if you're driving down a 2-lane road and are rounding a bend, a car coming the other direction can make the Accord stab the brakes even though each car was in its own lane and negotiating the turn properly. I think this is why my rotors are warped. The stabs can be pretty abrupt. The Lane Keep Assist can sometimes feel like you're being "ping ponged" between the lane makers but when you need to sneeze, blow your nose or take a bite of food, LKAS does lend a hand for a few seconds.
I have to say that I LOVE the full LED lighting up front. The illumination is wide and bright. The automatic high beam function is great if a little fussy at times. The front turn signals are very crisp and bright and the compliments I've received had people fooled into thinking it was an Audi. The rear turn signals and brake lights are NOT LED though. The running lights back there ARE LED but not the others and I'm not sure why. But the overall nighttime look of this car (mine is black) is pretty menacing.
The trunk is spacious and with a cargo net, even more functional. The overall cabin space is excellent and back seat passengers love the room back there too. The outboard passengers love the heated seats back there as well. The comfort level is high throughout the car and the quality of materials is very good. My only complaint has been the plastic panels behind the door pulls in the front door. They rattled when the car was new. The dealer swapped them out at no charge and the rattles have subsided.
I think this car is a great car overall. It's fast when it needs to be, comfy and quiet at all times and economical to run and maintain. The cost of the car wasn't much of a concern for me because I was seeking value and not price. Price is what you pay and value is what you get. The Accord V6 Touring checked almost all of my boxes and the dealership experience was relaxed and professional so I have NO regrets with this car. I know the resale value will be there too...a benefit of owning a Honda product. My insurance (I'm over-insured) is very fair and maintenance costs are also reasonable. I'm confident that if you're considering purchasing this car...you won't be disappointed. Thank you!!
Barry Smith could you elaborate?
Austin Sandkuhler lmao
I loved this review. I wish more people would review this thoroughly!!
Barry Smith loved this review, thinking of getting a Honda touring for my wife.
Barry Smith Which speakers did you replace them with?
This car looks pretty good. The interior, the wheels, the exhausts... Honda did really good with this one!
Among the last of the really great family sedans!
16:13 LISTEN TO THAT VTEC, that 3.5L J-series V6 is by far one of the best Honda engines ever created, and one of the best V6 engines ever created too.
The best looking Accord hands down. Gorgeous color on this test car as well.
thr best looking accords to me are the 8th generation accord coupe with the l24 ivtec oe the 3.5 Jseries engine. those are deff hondas finest! look it up!
@@mileshayter7440 for me 9th
@@nickrah1737 i like 9th
accord coupes looked batter
@@nickrah1737 ofc they are coupes lmao
Best mods to do on this car: Ktuner (not for power, but to enhance the throttle pedal tip-in response with huge, huge, difference); Progress sway bar (massive increase in handling); MDX spacer (noticeable difference in low end torque though doesn't add any peak hp).
Up to how much hp can this gem go, of course ,,engine savely” ?
This Accord is one of the best generation Accords that Honda has built ~ the 7th generation Accord is up there but this 9th gen is my favourite
The two screen layout is my favorite part of the Accord interior. It's by far the best in class
Some people don't like it, but I actually am one of the few people that actually think it's clever. Even in Acura cars, it's pretty cool, and it's pretty simple.
Listen, y'all... the V6 utilizes a 6-speed automatic. The 4-cylinders use the CVT. He even says it in the video! Sheesh.
Yes, that's correct. A 6-speed manual is offered for the 4-cylinder. Gosh, I REALLY wish Honda offered the V6 sedan with a manual.
@@Bennett15ify it be too nice they’ll put that when they run out of ideas
Love your reviews. I have a 2017 Touring, previously had a 2014 Touring and with both cars I love the V6 so much I have trouble keeping my foot out of the floor.
I just stumbled upon this review as I just purchased a 2017 Accord sedan touring model. Extremely well done review. Your style of delivery and video really is one of the best car reviews I've ever seen I look forward to reading other reviews that you do.
I agree, although I’d not want to be a passenger with him, given how often his hands aren’t even on the wheel. His steering technique needs improvement (not to mention failing to stop at stop signs😆). Otherwise, the review itself of this wonderful car is phenomenal!
i always love your review, not too long, detail enough, and very honest. thank you.
I still have my v6 v tech sedan 4 door Honda Accord since 2003 perfect condition love Honda !!!
What’s wrong with you?
As a 17 year old driver, this car is fast!! I be stepping on the gas and you can definitely feel the pull
Best channel for reviews 👍🏻. I just wish you guys would make more videos !. I can't get enough redline reviews
I'm so glad you offer reviews for all cars. Looking forward to your 2018 2.0 review.
Just bought this car 2 weeks ago because of this review. My wife and I love the car. The Dual Display is great and I can have my Nav screen up and see my music, car information, and other details at the same time. The car is incredibly fast and fun to drive. Apple Car play is fantastic and and the LED headlights at night are super bright. I love the Auto High-beams. Lots of leg room for guests and the seats are comfortable. Got the Black on black with the Honda tint. The car is an eye turner as well.
I see alot of complaints on the seats not being all that comfortable, thoughts?
Absolutely awsome review!! I was checking every hour for this review after the top 5!
bikephil becuase I own this car and was looking forward to the review, maybe you took the hour thing to literal.
Your reviews are very fair and balanced, keep up the great work, thank you!
Was researching into TLX 2.4 vs Accord Touring. You answered my question right at 21:01! Thanks!
I've been looking forward to this forever!!!
OMG you mentioned the sound system, a first for a UA-cam car reviewer! The audiophiles thanks you!!!
tahjo7 Yeah I wanted to hear audio system reviews to, and he's right about the 7speaker audio the sub rattles the trunk and trunk shelf pretty bad.
Only because you're talking audio must I correct "hear" :P
This will be my next car and while I might not be able to be classified as an "audiophile" I love music and always have my ear buds in. Imagine my disappointment when all I've read is how terrible the sound system is. WHY!? WHY must Honda have such terrible sound systems!?
The sound system is OK. I have heard the sound system in the Accords without the subwoofer and they sound tinny and lack palpable bass. It would be nice if Honda offered a "brand name" audio system to help improve overall sound quality. I'm happy to pay for a better system on the option sheet.
Must’ve not heard of Saabkyle
That engine sounds SOOO good.
thanks great review... I brought my wife 2017 V6 touring and we both love it...
J series + FWD + Honda = Low maintenance, decent fuel economy and decent ride quality. 35k is nothing for that.
It'll probably be the last. V6 280 HP vs a puny 1.5L Turbo soon probably.
1.5T wont replace the V6. The uptrim engine will be a V6 or a 2.0T from the type R, probably detuned. The current 2.4 is said to be replaced by the 1.5T as the lower engine.
Shame. The current K24 engine is probably going to be the last great Honda N/A 4-banger, and probably the last great one in general. The only other company who can give engines souls like Honda is only going to be Mazda, unfortunately.
I do hope the V6 sticks around - still a way better option than other turbo mid-size competitors that aren't as fast and still don't get the better MPG that they're supposed to
Just got this car, V6 Touring in black. Very satisfied with this car so far :)
I couldn't afford the touring but I absolutely LOVE my sport! especially the interior in the sport. :)
we had an lx with 2 screens and rear led lights and wood trim form the ex with beige carpets it was a special edition for dubia uae
Nice review - lots of valuable info. You pointed out some things that I did not know about the engine and I like your assessment of the interior surfaces.
I'm getting this in white in about 3 weeks! Thanks for showing me what I'm getting...I haven't seen it yet. So excited ☺️😁
Hows the car?? Did u get it
thank you it's about time. That you did this review of the accord. Can wait to see the next refresh gen of the accord. To see if to get this car or the 2018 edition of the accord.
I've loved this body style since I first saw it. The lights, wheels I love it. If my sexy 06 Acura TL ever dies or gets wrecked, this will be my next ride.
someone ran a red light and destroyed my 05 TL. this is why im here
@@jeffweidig3423 My 06TL 6MT is 220,000. My TL has served me well and Acura absolutely screwed the pooch on TLX. This is why I'm here : - ) Goddamn Acura - you had literally a cult following and turned 4G TL into a friggin Barney lookalike. Morons.
@@richs8709 Damn 220,000? Nice. Is it still running or have you replaced it since?
amazing looking accord, had a 1995 LX manual, loved it but i might get this one. impressed
My uncle has a 2015 Touring in the same color. With all the power on tap it still pulls really smoothly, great solid ride too.
Thanks for speaking about the sound ... this is something not much people review..
I have so many favorite cars and SUV and this Accord is one of favorite too
I love the look of the beige interior. Only problem is the seats will pull all the blue dye from jeans in no time. And it's not easy to get out. Plus, repeated scrubbing with undoubtedly take the finish off and make the seats less crack and fade resistant. If you often wear jeans, go for the black interior.
Damn really??? I'm glad I saw this. I always have on jeans.
I bought my first Honda Accord in 2012, and I love it. I will never own anything else again, unless it is a Honda!
Beautiful car. I’m getting this in all black real soon. Gonna tint windows as well.
Most new cars are really expensive. All that tech and stuff
I recently got a 2016 honda accord but in the LX trim. Although it's basic compared to this one, I do like how I get 16" wheels wrapped in big cushiony 205/65r16 michelin tires. This wheel/tire setup provides a very comfortable drive, unlike the upper trim 19" inch wheels with a much smaller tire profile which provides a harsher ride. I'm also planning on upscaling some features like adding the touring headlights, katzkin black leather seats, the audio system, and some other emenities. Great cars overall.
How's that coming along these days?
To those complaining about the CVT, I have to agree, it sucks. However, its not terrible and it does its job; save fuel.
Don't want the CVT? Don't get the CVT, Get the v6.
Heck, its not powerful enough? Now I know you're trolling. Get a Lamborghini.
Jia L. Agreed.
@Jia L. im more worried about the wheels. That dude is right. According to 2017 reports, the accord wheels are the most highly stolen wheels yet.. =(
I test drove a 420 horsepower Ford Mustang GT California special - it wasn't powerful enough. The overall balance of the car didn't knock me off my feet. I want something with instant performance and not midrange torque to get moving. However, the Accord Touring V6 will be enough power for some people. It will not win all the drag races but it will get the job finished.
Chris Smith Blocked fam.
Jia L. The newer generation of conventional transmission have been very close in effiency to CVT.
Every house on that road is absolutely HUGE!!!
Love your reviews. I'm currently looking to trade my Altima in for either an Accord or Acura TLX. Doing so much homework until I figure out which car works best with me. Your reviews definitely come in handy when I'm doing my homework.
I saw this car today n just loved the exterior... Especially the rear
One of my favorite cars ❤
Auto Plus اوتو بلس wow your trash
I'm glad you mentioned the sound system I hope you continue to talk about it in further reviews.
Also when are you going to review the 2017 Subaru Impreza?
RIP Accord V6
Josh S it’s not coming back ?
@@thatguymar3383 nope only if you get an Acura.
Carlos Martinezz wow why did they end it?
My grandma has a v6
@@thatguymar3383 I think every year Honda trying to get better MPG. Also so people could move up to Acura if they want a v6 sedan.
Thanks for mentioning the sound system! I test drove this car and I thought the audio sounded just like my old clock radio. At 35k, WTF? There's so many new gadgets in cars, today, that never get used. Yet, I've never met anyone who didn't want a good stereo in their car.
One of the sexiest cars Honda has ever made. Do a review of the 6th gen v6 coupe. Love that one.
Great review, still my dream car to date. I have the 4 cylinders version, really want to upgrade to the v6
1:40 try walking heel to toe and much slower, make those shots way smoother and you can always speed up the shot in post.
I absolutely love Lane Watch. It can be kept on with the push of a button (as opposed to needing to activate the turn signal) and can make hurried expressway driving a breeze.
Lane watch is the best thing since sliced bread. I will not buy another car that doesn't have it . The new Accord got rid of it, so may have to get a Ridgeline for my next vehicle as it does have Lane watch as well.
Wish you did a review of the 2016 Coupe Touring V6. Love your reviews. Two things missed were blind spot monitoring and heated steering wheel
Good review. You're articulate and hit all the major points that consumers are looking for (performance, materials, mpg etc..). Might be nice if you could ad some reliability reviews but that would have to be done farther in to the life of the car which you may not have access to.
Great review, thank you very much!
Being able to drive both Camry and Accord, I am able to compare the two competing brands. There is not much of the difference between the two and it will just come down to your personal preference with exterior design, interior design, electronic features, and engine displacement. However, the big difference between them is the ride quality. I find the Camry has a very luxurious ride quality, which is soft and minimizes the bumps and imperfections on the road. While the Accord has the tires and probably the shock absorbers tuned for performance. So, it will transmit some of the bumpiness of the road but definitely has a sharper and more responsiveness when driving it. I love both cars but I find myself getting into the Camry more than the Accord when taking the family with me.
I wish Honda can do a better Job on distinguishing the Touring to a 10k less Sport.
Pablo Herasme exactly I was telling other only thing is the headlights ..
They should of atleast also thrown in the sport grill they offer
Sunroof lol
This car is very good value. Drives nice and feels great. The four cylinder engine feels a little under powered but still drives well.
Great Video 👍I’m Recommending this to my grandmother lol
Great review as always. I just have to point out that when driven normal you'll see better MPG numbers on that V6. My Accord Coupe V6 Auto consistently averages 26-27 mpg overall. On road trips, it's not uncommon to see upper 30s. I have a slightly heavy foot but I don't redline it every time I take off from a stop either. It's a really impressive powertrain. I hope Honda keeps the V6 on the next generation.
Anthony DeFelix best mileage with my V6 was 43 mpg on a 660 mile trip. and i didnt have to stop for gas. i could easily go over 700 miles on a tank of gas.
LifeHacks4All the magic of cylinder deactivation
I was going to get the 4 cylinder to save on gas but from what you're saying I shouldn't have to. I've never owned a V6 but once I drove one pretty regularly and loved it. It was such a different experience than the 4 cylinder I own. I'm definitely buying an Accord V6. I can't wait! I've heard nothing but amazing things about Accord V6s. I wish I knew someone that owned one who would let me drive it!!
how do you like the seats? I'm seeing a lot of complaints from owners who say seat is causing back pain
I have a V6 coupe to...RIP
Great review, young man!
Great review!!! This car looks nice I feel like getting the sport tbh , In the spy shots of the 2018 accord I saw the hidden exhausts 😭
I have the v6 touring coupe. Love it!
Great review. Thanks!
I have a 2013 exl v6. I got to try the 2.0 turbo as well. I couldn't get used to the new generation. The v6 though... Just pulled and felt more natural to me.
Epic review! Subscribed.
I’m gonna get this car soon
Every Redline review in a nutshell: "One touch controls for every window should be standard."
That’s not something I’d pay money for... I’m nit sure I even like it when I’m trying to set the window just 2” open... I find myself having to click up and down a number of times to get the glass to stop just where I want it.
Great video. Does this have the oil dilution problem?
I like this car more than 2019 accord
USA 2018 the majority of us do.
Sport mode on the v6 with pedal shifter, perfect car 👌🏻
Another great review! One thing though, the EX with cloth comes standard with android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Such a BEAUTIFUL car!!! 😍
I absolutely love it! I paid less than $27,000 for my brand new 2017 LX-V6 (in 2018), and this car is on a par with many $40k-$50k “luxury” cars.
Spot on review!
i bought a silver touring one back in march, and its awesome
how do you like the seats?
Jeffrey Kim very comfortable
I would love to see you review the 2016 Kia Optima SXL! I am still on the fence, and your reviews are really thorough.
This might be my first used car I want to buy.
If the rear deck rattles, get second skin or dynomat to reduce or remove rattle. Even putting towels under the deck lid make a difference. You can buy spongey or foam material and that will work as well
If this was rear wheel drive, it would've been perfect. Reliable, smooth, not slow, stable, looks great, and reasonably priced.
Still not slow
would be more expensive
In love with mine in white 😍
i only drive muscle cars... but this car is one of the best sedan I have ever driven and it's surprising quick
Your review was spot on for the touring. I own a 2015 model and all the things you mentioned in the review I had experienced. I used to own a older model acura tl. I feel the accord touring v6 is a repackaged tlx with the exception of the audio sound system and manual paddle shifters linked to the 9 speed transmission. You gave a great Review!!
I have been driving my new V6 Touring Accord for 2 months so far. Damn car is fun to drive. Great power and handling. I love the fact that I can zip around the freeway and not worry about someone trying to cut me off, cuz I leave them in my dust. It turns heads in my neighborhood. The only thing I don't like about it is the sounds system it came with. Really sucks, so I have to invest some money in to that. But overall I love my purchase.
Were you able to do an upgrade to your sound system? I'm still trying to figure it out for mine
@@MrViyasan best buy maaaam
I have a 2018 Accord and I’m actually looking to sell it for a 2016/2017 V6 model. Turbo engines are fun…but lack the sound of that beautiful 3.5 V6. Thank goodness Hondas are also reliable because I’ll be keeping that V6 until it dies!!!
Very nice car overall !

I saw the sport has paddles. Is it worth sacrificing all these upscale features for the paddles on the sport ? Sport doesn't have the lower screen which makes it look really outdated.. thoughts ?
great review
As a floridian I wish we could have roads like yours ..
Love this accord! Might consider to drive one cuz, it’s a V6!
Great video
Outstanding !!! I just need to decide the color Black or White
Anyone buying this car, I urge you to buy wheel locks. They're highly coveted by shitbag thieves!
Agreed. Their was an article on jalopnik for this.
Do wheel locks actually work or are they just meant to slow them down in hopes somebody sees them?
TheCobruhAlienat0r they work. You buy 4 locks, 4 different keys. They won't be able to take them. I know someone that had all four remover while she was inside the grocery store. Broad daylight. She didn't have any locks. Same car but 2014.
They will keep the kids down the street that are looking to swipe your wheels for a quick buck from targeting you car. As far as actual/professional thieves, wheel locks are only a deterrent. It'll make them think twice before targeting but if they really want your wheels, they can break the wheel locks and take them. Hell, if they really want your car that bad, the pros can tow the whole thing in under 60 seconds and you won't hear a squeak. Then they have all the time in the world to do whatever they want with your car.
I have heard that installing a shock sensor helps a lot as it sounds the alarm immediately and any thief hates noise/attention.
I've had the '16 sport for an year now, i live in a so-so neighborhood and I thank God every day no one has targeted mine. 👏
ForeignBorn Patriot my Sport came with them :)
Beautiful car.
Bruh this looks like a fast car lowkey 😳
I really don’t understand the hate behind the lack of a volume knob on Hondas. When I drive my wife’s 2018 HRV, I 100% only use the volume button on the steering wheel which is so more convenient and faster than reaching over. I would still only use it even if it had a knob. I feel some car reviewers forget about the wheel controls. For us who are 30+ years old, we began driving cars that had zero wheel buttons. Rarely do I see a reviewer ACTUALLY talk about how the wheel buttons perform. Instead, they spend 3 seconds on it and move on. That said, I’m happy they added it to the newer models. However, I bet vast majority of the time, people are using the wheel controls.
Awesome looking car.
Nice review! Love this generation Accord, especially with that color and those rims! For me, I don't really care too much for the electronic parking brake system and would rather have the "old school" hand brake instead. 😅
Yup! The main reason I bought this model was the color (Honda stopped doing the Basque Red 2 after the 2017 Accord). But I’m oh-so-happy to have a real handbrake! (Plus, it means you can open the door while backing up, which isn’t possible on most electric brake vehicles.)
I wish you could have compared this to the how the Acura TLX V6 drives a little more. Is the Acura quieter? Does it corner better? My mom is thinking about getting the TLX V6 SHAWD and I'm thinking she should take a look at the Accord.
You sold me this car. Will be getting a used one soon.
I’m buying a 17’ Touring V6 to replace my 03 V6 ex-l sedan MANUAL. You read right.
That car has 254k on it and runs like a top. Gonna miss her, but least she’s staying in the family. This particular car… I’ve already started with the purchasing of aftermarket parts 😂
