For the 2013 debut of its 9th generation, the Honda Accord Coupe takes a much bigger risk on style than the sedan, but it doesn't get the hybrid option. Of course that's no big matter, since both all-new engines are revised for best-in-class fuel economy, according to Honda, and with the option of a 6-speed manual for either one, an engaging ride is almost guaranteed. However, looks and performance are just the tip of the iceberg for this highly promising redux of an American staple.
While the sedan only hints at its growing muscle with a few streaming lines and well-placed swoops, the coupe takes its 9th-generation style to the nines with rally-inspired skirts, chrome-accented vents and a gracefully toned look you were more likely to see in a dancer's legs than a car—until now. Head- and taillights are thinned and elongated, adding to the aggressive first impression and reminiscence of top-shelf sports cars, and a dainty tailfin tops it off without getting in the rear-view.
No word on what we might find on the inside except for a few new gadgets. Newly standard features across the board include Bluetooth, text-to-voice, LCD display and streaming connectivity with Pandora and Apple's iPhone. As for safety, there's no sure word whether the new forward-crash and lane-departure warning systems will be included in every Accord coupe, but the new blind-spot monitoring systems and multi-angle rear-view camera are definitely just options.
Although performance will remain relatively unchanged—gaining just 5 or 10 points on horsepower and torque—the new engines are supposed to top the fuel-efficiency charts when coupled with the continuously variable transmission for the smaller 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, or the 6-speed automatic for the bigger 3.5-liter V6. Supposedly both get the option of a 6-speed manual in the Accord Coupe, but not the sedan, while a new Eco driving mode enters every Accord for 2013.
Honda also hinted at some improvements to driving dynamics, but didn't single out the Coupe or provide any specifics. The sedan is smaller and lighter than previous years, so Honda may have been speaking only of the sedan's expected performance improvements from its smaller size, and without any deeper detail from the maker it's tough to guess whether these improvements carry over to the Coupe.
Honda likewise neglects to mention what will change about the interior materials, and given the recent step back in the Civic, the omission leaves a lot of unanswered questions. Drivers of the previous generation have a lot of unanswered questions, too, like what's up with all these silly issues after 5,000 miles? Hopefully Honda has fixed the trunk seal and tire shimmy with this latest iteration, but as always, the proof is in the pudding.
What owners say
"Overall, owners are very satisfied with the 2013 Honda Accord Coupe. They love its performance, smooth handling, and luxurious features, often comparing it favorably to other models like Acura and Toyota. Many appreciate its high horsepower and fuel efficiency, especially with the V6 engine. However, some owners experienced frustrations with electronic issues and minor handling quirks during sharp turns."
The car over all is nice for what I need it for. It’s clean, interior well intact, great value, dependable, easy to work out on if there is maintenance is required.
September 10, 2025The Honda Accord Coupe V6 is a perfect daily driver for anyone wanting above average performance combined with just the right amount of comfort. It handles incredibly smoothly and is quiet on the freeway, but is very sporty when you need to put your foot down for some “spirited driving.” It’ provides high horse power for the class, and has driving dynamics comparable to that of a Golf GTI or Subaru WRX. Overall, it is an excellent buy for the price.
January 8, 2021I love Honda vehicles!!! They are fun to drive & not to over the top as far as looks go. Classy, quick & economically sound! Ive driven other auto makes but Honda has got my loyalty!

October 23, 2020This is a fantastic car. Power, handling, comfort, and technology that anticipates what you want . The V6 6 speed manual is a rock solid drive train that can both thrill you, and get 34 mpg on Econ if you just want to cruise and are light on the throttle.
January 15, 2022Quick for a 4 cyl, yet great mpg!! Don't know why you would need a 6cyl?? For a budget priced coupe this car has the looks and feel of a lot more "spendy" ride. With Honda being the builder you know it is built well! Just love this new body style!
June 11, 2014I have had an EXL V6 Coupe manual for about a month now. The car looks beautiful and the interior is very comfortable. The back seats, for a coupe, are very roomy and the trunk is quite large. The performance is very strong. I owned a 2009 Civic Si, and this car blows that away as far as acceleration (I think the "0-60 in 5.6" I have seen mentioned for the V6 accord must be for the sedan automatic, because this seems even quicker than that). Shifting is seamless and handling is impressive overall. It does seem slightly front heavy at times going into turns at speed and the steering could be a tad tighter, but it's not far off the mark. I have had some frustration with the electronics though. Odd periods of not being able to change the radio station for almost an hour, the display saying "audio power is off" while the radio is on and other random frustrations. And of course, it's never happening long enough for a Honda technician at a dealership to see it, so they are clueless as far as what to do about it. That could drive me insane if not resolved.
December 8, 2012Excellent car have owned and own several Honda/Acuras and this Accord is very comparable to my Acura CL type s 6 speed.. Rides great shifts extremely smooth and has so many features Ive not figured everything out.
June 2, 2020I love the way the cars built got all the features Im looking for, plus its good on gas, to be honest I havent seen another model like it last the handling on this car is top notch.
September 7, 2022Car features are luxurious, value of the car is great, nothing is missing from it, and this car is comparable to the Toyota Avalon, very fuel efficient and dependable.
April 26, 2021The Honda Accord Coupe WITH the V6 engine is an amazing car, reliable, high performance, great handling, good gas milage, seats two in comfort and two more in rear seats with reasonable comfort, best of all worlds V6 is no longer offered on this model so used models are in demand (the standard 4 cylinder will be OK for some but not for enthusiasts).
