I appreciate you reviewing my car Zack! The only notable thing I've done as of late is give the car a proper exhaust, and got rid of that awful rice pipe. Magnaflow muffler with a DC Sports tip. Sounds much more subtle.
@@mrdave777 I hate to tell you my man, I bought the damn car like that! Lmao. The little buttons are a cute band-aid fix from the small car lot I bought it from. Gonna have to pull the entire headliner. As far as I've seen, this happens to every 7th Gen, but there's a ton of ways to fix it. You can replace the entire thing as an assembly, or pull the old one, remove the old nasty headliner and re-glue & upholster it to your choosing.
@@louiei.1552 Dude, thanks so much for your prompt reply. I own an 06 TL, our cars are related! My headliner is drooping and thought that was a terrific idea. Not confident doing it myself and replacing is $300. Anywho, you have a great car. A terrific engine. And it’s manual!! Well played, thanks for sharing!
@@mrdave777 from what I can see, they just used a ton super short thread screws, and covered it with a fabric button cover. I appreciate your likeness for my car my man. It's just my daily. Owned it for 3 years. Bought it with 90k, now it has 142k as of today. As Zack said, it's basic maintenance. Oil changes, tires, brakes, did the belt & tensioner on my girlfriends car which is the same thing just an 07 auto EX-L. Gonna do mine whenever it starts making noise.
This is the same Accord I have been dailying for years now but mine is a coupe. I love this car because I can not only rely on it but it goes over looked so I don't worry about being a target for theft. My weekender is an RX-7 FC and being able to go about my business in the Accord without those extra eyes is a relief. It's among the best dailes money can buy imo.
I have an 06 manual EX-L sedan (5spd k24) with 186k on it, still running great with just basic maintenance. I like the mods on the car in this review - I'm actually looking into replacing my shift knob since it's a little worn out, thanks for the idea to use one from the RSX!
This 7th Generation Honda Accord with the face-lift design like this one, but a 2 door and with a V6 Vtech engine would be a sexy vehicle to cruise in especially in, when it was new and even now! A co-worker had that type of a vehicle and it was wonderful to at least be on the passenger side of it as I'm not able to drive due to my disability. I hope you come across such vehicle!
i sitll own a 06 accord sedan with the 5speed manual, love that car. it's the ultimate beater, i drove it many time on long road 6,7 hours one way to go back is another 6,7 hours trip without any problem. the mpg is great for long trip . very minimal to take care of, just oil change,plugs, air filters, i change my trans fluid every 45kmiles. even though it's a sedan it's pretty peepy, with some minal mod like swapping the intake manifold and throttle body from the same year tsx, the throttle respond improve .
One of my favourite cars anytime any day. Those years cars were made with the intent of reliability. But these days they are more of plastic toys. Nice review bro.
I don't think they have been since the 5th generation Accord. Especially considering the numerous transmission issues most of their cars had in the 90's.
I have a 2004 EX auto. I should have gotten the manual. But it's been crazy reliable. They also have aftermarket touch screen replacement consoles for the entire center stack that looks factory.
Doing a full rebuild on my 2006 Accord right now.....definitely a slept on car The 7th gen accord is actually extremely fun to drive Excellent suspension and a fantastic motor
Dead switches aren't too bad of a thing ^-^ I had a 6th gen LX. Picked up a sunroof control switch from the junkyard, and wired it up to a starter kill, just in case anyone wanted to take my car. It'd look perfectly original, so long as they didn't think too hard about the fact that my car didn't have a sunroof. And two of the buttons had to be pressed. One for the immobilizer system, and one for the starter kill. New car is a 1st gen Fit Sport. It'll be hard to find something that looks original, since as far as I'm able to tell, they didn't have any switches that could go there. (No sunroof, fog light switch is on the blinker stalk, no idea of any other options) With the car being newer though, I expect the immobilizer system to be advanced enough compared to my first car, to make it hard enough to steal.
I can reply to this, as I owned a 8th gen Civic and drove a 7th gen Accord long term. The Civic was great, but underpowered and much more cheaply made than the Accord. The Accord had a feeling of substance and confidence that the Civic lacked. I like to pay attention to the older cars on the road, to see which have survived over the years. Have to say, I don't see many 8th gen Civics on the road anymore, but I do see older Accords. Anecdotal, I know (especially with all the old GM's on the road), but just something I've noticed.
I had this exact same car in red!!! 06 4cyl 5 speed in Red it was the best car I ever owned!!! I got into a car accident in 2021 unfortunately and it got totaled with 269k on the dash. Never had ANY issues with the car. Use to change the oil every 3-5k
I never understood the appeal of wedging a sharp piece of sheet metal into the windshield and hoping that it doesn't go flying in a crash. I'm against front plates in general but if the state says the car needs to have a plate on the front then is should go into the designed and legally-dictated place.
I just bought 07 week ago it's my 2nd this style. Very well said in the video about them.Solid basic built cars.Tint windows n some upgrade wheels n stereo these cars become perfect 👍
I have a 2003 Honda accord ex manual that I recently did a engine swap from the (UDSM) k24a4 to the (JDM) k24a going from 160hp to 205hp and I have installed stage 1 clutch and one thing my Honda emblem is not chipped
I have a 2007 accord mechanically it’s super reliable but if you live where there is pot holes the suspension will leave the chat. This one you’re showing is actually the “special edition “ which is a lx with ex features that has the steering wheel controls for the radio aluminum rims 6 disc cd changer, and sometimes but very rarely they may have a sunroof. The way to make the rear end look more appealing is getting the Hybrid tail lights it cleans it up . These things can have no oil in them and they’ll still run like a scalded ape. My complaints about it are the drivers seat could go back more and the trunk could’ve been better supported when parked on an incline. With mine you have to watch or it’ll knock you in the head. Things I like most about it are it can get out of its own way, the cruise control will maintain the set cruising speed even going down hill if it’s set to 60mph and above, they handle very well for a fwd car on corners, and you can find parts for them even at salvage yards even new parts are relatively cheap even oem on some parts isn’t horribly expensive. 7th gen was one of the best gens of the accord ever made.
The Japanese love old British stuff. I'm not surprised that they made the ceiling look like an old overstuffed sofa. These will last forever and deliver reliable transportation. The manual is a rare choice for a midsize sedan. I still regularly see these, usually with blue high beam bulbs in the low beams.
That's not original. It's a band aid fix from the Pakistani car lot I bought this thing from. It's held up alright enough, but I definitely need to get around to entirely replacing that headliner.
@@kevinabraham2029In the Chicagoland area at least yeah. They just sell some cars like any normal small lot but they're honestly way more relaxed than a normal dealer. Can't say I saw any in Des Moines when I lived out there for 2 years.
@@louiei.1552 Wow - love to hear that. I had no idea they existed. I haven't heard of any here in S. Texas either. But, I'm sure they're in the bigger cities.
I’ve raced 2 of these in the backroads near my house at separate times. Once was with my s14 and another time in my current 08 Civic Si. Both times they were on my ass the entire time around corners. I was surprised at how well they handled for being a big sedan with a 4 banger. I’d imagine the v6 with a manual are monsters
I came from an ek as my very first car, bought this when I was 19 and have owned it for 3 years. They sort themselves out very well when "pushed to the limit," a lot less twitchy than my ek. Pretty sure it's just down to the more intricate suspension setup. The only gripe is a bit more body roll than a stock civic, but that's fixed with some coils. I put some nice tires on it, and frankly I've been more than happy with it like that. Can still take a corner going 60, and the accord won't even fight, it's rather encouraging through corners.
@@louiei.1552 That’s awesome. Also take into consideration that the 2 that I raced were completely stock lmao. I’d imagine adding a rear sway bar to compliment your coils will make it even better
I've seen a number of these Accords (and the 6th generation) having suspension issues. It's so bad here that most people who buy used cars avoid the Accord and go for the Camry instead. The major suspension issue is that the ball joints break and leave the driver stranded on the road. The same year Civic doesn't have that issue strangely.
It's interesting how advanced this is compared to a Camry of the same year which I own At least when it comes to interior styling and all. Camry still looked pretty 90s. Anyone know why this is?
Automatic 4cyl is more reliable than the v6 automatic now the manuals are about the same reliability wise. Downfall is the v6 has a rubber timing belt and is a interference engine while the 4cyl is a timing chain
Has the chain. I've kept it topped up and got the valves adjusted, and it runs like a coked up roach. I know the vtc gears are a problem as well but it hasnt happened to me. Accessory belt is old as hell, was done at 70k from the history, but it keeps chugging. Gonna do it whenever it blows out but I've had the parts ordered for a day or 2 now.
Great review I enjoyed the video! The Accord in this video is a SE (Special Edition), one trim level above the LX. Upgraded specs/features include: rear disc brakes, 16” alloy wheels, 6-Disc CD changer Audio System, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and Carbon Fiber-Look interior accents.
Just FYI this is a special edition not a LX Disk all around And EX wheels No sunroof And more importantly the carbon fiber trim…. Great review and missed opportunity to say it’s a special edition. A lot of owners don’t know it’s a special edition and that is the best part. You get rate special editions for LX prices. Great review!
I had a 2007 Accord and I wish it wasn't an absolute POS. The reason for that was I bought mine in 2016 from someone that was selling it on this app called 5 Miles it had 91k miles for $3000 and the seller advertised it having a clean title. I found out a week after purchasing the car it had a salvage title. Long story short by the time I sold it in June 2018 for $1500 I had spent $2800 in repairs and the car still had issues that would've cost more than what is was worth. Makes wish I would've bought that 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis I saw and test drove the week before.
Nice for future-videos: you already get a go-pro for POV, it would be really nice to have talkless 1 or 2 minute clip with pure driving audio in the future. Even in older cars, a bit like of an ASMR so you will. Would be great i guess 😎👌
I know somebody that had the manual coupe version of this generation accord, his had well over 300k miles on it... I also know two other people who still own this generation of accord, one of them picked theirs up recently and the other has the V6 model.
Video had me with nostalgia. I had a 1993 LX full stock which I bought as my first car. Manual and yes I burnt the clutch. But boy we were kings of the road during lockdown as I worked for Amazon and y'all were buying every little thing for the apocalypse. Bought a 2017 civic as I had to sell my Accord and boy the fit and finish, quality, is just worse. Still reliable. That civic is a manual too. Been owning it for 3 years and after 2 accidents still rolls straight down the road. I guess this gen is the perfect bridge between old Honda and newer Honda without the newer cheaper Honda if it makes sense
I love the K24, my ‘15 ILX has a 6-speed manual with the port injected K24…sounds great, drives great weighs less than 3k the only negative is it requires premium fuel
I like what he did with the headliner.....he's giving me ideas If you know you know about 7 gen Civic headliners maybe the same case with the Accord.Im not sure.
Ive had 3 civics and 3 accords. I'm currently on my second 8th gen civic (an lx 2006), and I had the auto version of this accord most recently before that. Tough call between the two. The civic drives more fun, but the accord was great to sit in for long periods of cruising time.
I have an 07 lx with the auto. Came from a 02 Malibu and was thrilled how I got +10mpg in any situation and coulda passed my Malibu going full ham and beans having slightly less power. Power band is more important sometimes… and an extra gear 🤣
Love the manual in an Accord! That headliner is genius! I just used staples or thumbtacks in some old Chevys I had. Those look like tufted buttons ..love it!!
The 8th Gen accord is a little bit bigger, Safer, More Power, More Tech, J35 Available with way more HP vs the J30 in the 7th gen, Sedan, Coupe, Crossover W/AWD Available, And Not much more money unless you want the Crossover.
The 7th gen with the v6 is a better riding and handling car. More fun to drive. The build quality is night and day ftom the 7th to the 8th. The 8th feels like Honda was cutting cost. Only plus i see for the 8th was the roominess in the interior space and the safety updates. How do i know. I own a 7th gen and my wife has the 8th gen.
@@jpm408 the 7th gen does not ride better than the 8tb gen. For handling, yeah it's lighter but the 8th gen coupe handles very well, it's close to the size of the 7th gen sedan. Honda definitely didn't cut any costs, it's a quality lasting interior. The newer junk they make is what cuts costs.
My poor automatic 07 Accord had its engine replaced at 84k miles due to loose lower rod bearings. replacement engine w 124k miles put in. After 10k miles on the replacement it frequently had issues starting and honda couldnt replicate, sold it. Loved the car when it worked and got it for a killer price when I bought it, although everything evened out in the long run with how much money I dumped into it. If you buy one make sure it has a solid service history.

Do an 8th gen Accord LX automatic!
2006 Honda civic for the win
quite love the styling.
not overstyled like today's cars
I have the 2005 V6 and it still drives like new 🚗
What happened to the headliner? Looks like someone went to town on the headliner with a stapler.
Are you going to sell the shirt your wearing?
I don't even need to watch the video to know its way better than a civic.
Honda used to be the class leader in reliability and quality. Now, I'm not so sure.

Im 32 and feel like i can still run a 5k after drinking miller sll night
I would have to get leather. The cloth in the 7th gen is awful and the seats are hard.

Very true. Handling on these is nice, they sort themselves out well even when doing questionably legal things.

Not many manual 7.5 gen sedans were built with either engine. Closest newer equivalent is the Mazda6 (discontinued), or God forbid, the VW Jetta?
So, Zack.. was it more fun the 8th Gen. 2006 Civic?

Long story short by the time I sold it in June 2018 for $1500 I had spent $2800 in repairs and the car still had issues that would've cost more than what is was worth. Makes wish I would've bought that 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis I saw and test drove the week before.
Nice for future-videos: you already get a go-pro for POV, it would be really nice to have talkless 1 or 2 minute clip with pure driving audio in the future. Even in older cars, a bit like of an ASMR so you will. Would be great i guess 😎👌
I know somebody that had the manual coupe version of this generation accord, his had well over 300k miles on it... I also know two other people who still own this generation of accord, one of them picked theirs up recently and the other has the V6 model.
Video had me with nostalgia. I had a 1993 LX full stock which I bought as my first car. Manual and yes I burnt the clutch. But boy we were kings of the road during lockdown as I worked for Amazon and y'all were buying every little thing for the apocalypse. Bought a 2017 civic as I had to sell my Accord and boy the fit and finish, quality, is just worse. Still reliable. That civic is a manual too. Been owning it for 3 years and after 2 accidents still rolls straight down the road. I guess this gen is the perfect bridge between old Honda and newer Honda without the newer cheaper Honda if it makes sense
I didnt know the backseat was that big!!
It's huge even with front seats back far.
@@swlancaster1964 That's what I need!!
I love the K24, my ‘15 ILX has a 6-speed manual with the port injected K24…sounds great, drives great weighs less than 3k the only negative is it requires premium fuel
I like what he did with the headliner.....he's giving me ideas
If you know you know about 7 gen Civic headliners maybe the same case with the Accord.Im not sure.
Ive had 3 civics and 3 accords. I'm currently on my second 8th gen civic (an lx 2006), and I had the auto version of this accord most recently before that. Tough call between the two. The civic drives more fun, but the accord was great to sit in for long periods of cruising time.
I have an 07 lx with the auto. Came from a 02 Malibu and was thrilled how I got +10mpg in any situation and coulda passed my Malibu going full ham and beans having slightly less power. Power band is more important sometimes… and an extra gear 🤣
I could get this car $2,200
95k miles is it a good deal or no?
Yes
@@ShootingCars how?
7th gen Accord is one of my favorite Honda's. Something about the way they drove just felt right.
Love the manual in an Accord! That headliner is genius! I just used staples or thumbtacks in some old Chevys I had. Those look like tufted buttons ..love it!!
I had one just like this, owned it till 2020, I miss that car, never should have sold it!
i love my 07 accord the transmission is so fun to do anything with it
The 8th Gen accord is a little bit bigger, Safer, More Power, More Tech, J35 Available with way more HP vs the J30 in the 7th gen, Sedan, Coupe, Crossover W/AWD Available, And Not much more money unless you want the Crossover.
The 7th gen with the v6 is a better riding and handling car. More fun to drive. The build quality is night and day ftom the 7th to the 8th. The 8th feels like Honda was cutting cost. Only plus i see for the 8th was the roominess in the interior space and the safety updates. How do i know. I own a 7th gen and my wife has the 8th gen.
@@jpm408 the 7th gen does not ride better than the 8tb gen. For handling, yeah it's lighter but the 8th gen coupe handles very well, it's close to the size of the 7th gen sedan. Honda definitely didn't cut any costs, it's a quality lasting interior. The newer junk they make is what cuts costs.
Des Moines ia 🤘🏽🤘🏽
You should do a 2023 Suzuki vitara review
Unless a viewer drives one up from Mexico, that's gonna be tough.
You remind me of Doug Demuro.
Yeah……no.
@@mrdave777 yes? Lol
FIRST!!
My poor automatic 07 Accord had its engine replaced at 84k miles due to loose lower rod bearings. replacement engine w 124k miles put in. After 10k miles on the replacement it frequently had issues starting and honda couldnt replicate, sold it. Loved the car when it worked and got it for a killer price when I bought it, although everything evened out in the long run with how much money I dumped into it. If you buy one make sure it has a solid service history.
that goes for every car
