Overview
2015 Honda Accord
Occasionally, we hand the keys of a test vehicle to two of our experts to hear what they have to say. Here’s what auto journalists Brian Harper and Nick Tragianis think about the 2015 Honda Accord Coupe.
Brian Harper: For the life of me, kid, the Honda Accord Coupe has me kind of stonewalled. Simply, I don’t quite know what to make of it. Is it just a two-door version of the four-door Accord for those wanting to be cool(er), or is it attempting to cater to a younger, hipper crowd with a sportier vibe — but without treading on Acura’s turf?
God knows Honda could use a shot in the arm from a performance standpoint. Until it gets off its rump and gives us the Civic Type R, the Si seems to be it for cheap thrills – and it’s looking tired. The thing is, the 3.5-litre V6 in our Accord Coupe tester is a marvel of an engine with some serious juice to it. Or am I just blowing smoke because I’m one of those aging baby boomers who grew up with easy, cheap power and want to rekindle my youth?
Seriously. When was the last time you saw a front-wheel-drive coupe based on a midsize sedan? Nissan pulled the plug on the short-lived Altima Coupe in 2013, effectively putting the two-door Accord in a class of its own. The easy way out is for Honda to do the same, but despite being a loner, the Accord Coupe is fantastic. I have to hand it to Honda for sticking to its guns.
The engine and transmission combination has to be the Accord’s best feature. The 3.5-litre V6 puts out 278 horsepower and the slick-shifting six-speed manual makes it (and its four-door, four-cylinder sedan sibling) one of the unlikely heroes of the stickshift. There’s a bit of torque steer when you get on the throttle, but it’s manageable and the V6’s surprisingly growly exhaust note more than makes up for it. That said, the Accord Coupe is far from being a sports car.
