Default What year is the best year for the Accord Coupe EX-L

I'm in the market for a pre-owned Accord Coupe EX-L V6 what year should I be looking at and why? My 1998 EX-L V6 is just plain getting too old. Although it's trustworthy it's just been in my possession too long, 15years actually. So I"m in the market for an exact replacement, I just need to know from you guys which year is better than the other. Thanks

That's kinda' like trying to decide between more than one good woman... they all have their pros & cons

Perhaps a bit of information: which years (generations) have you considered?

I'm thinking 2012 thru 2016 EX-L V6. What was the first year for the 6 speed automatic? is this a good transmission? were they all 6 speed autos? I'm clueless!

Personally I'd opt for one with a manual transmission; I believe you can find V6 Coupes starting with the Gen 7 models and later with a 6-Speed manual.

Well I purchased a 2016 EX-L V6 Automatic Coupe. A few growing pains but I really like the car. I just came out of a 1998 EX-L V6 Automatic Coupe and what a difference 18 years make. Sorry for the crappy pic. I've just added body sidewall moldings.

Congratulations on your Accord purchase. I'm curious as to what you mean by, "A few growing pains.." (?)

I too have a 2016 EX-L V6, my main complaints are about the info center
