After more than four decades of successful racing, Honda has learned that there's more to winning than going fast.Handling, durability, reliability and even driving comfort all play an integral role.
The Accord Coupe is a direct beneficiary of this thinking. The 3.0-liter V-6 engine produces an impressive 240-horsepower and is available with a new 6-speed manual transmission to make the most of any road. The 2.4-liter, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine yields 160 horsepower with 161 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. Both engines are equipped with a 4-valve-per-cylinder configuration to draw more air and fuel. Lightweight, all-aluminum engine blocks, heads and pistons achieve greater performance. A 0.29 drag coefficient means that the Accord Coupe slips through the airstream for better fuel efficiency and reduced wind noise. And the variable valve timing and lift electronic control system (VTEC®), which is found in both engines, is designed to boost low-end torque and high-end power.

For all Accord Coupe models, the remote-entry key fob is now built right into the key.
All V-6 models and EX models with leather have an 8-way power driver's seat. The front seats on the Coupe are 20-inches wide and offer numerous adjustments. The seat-cushion angle and contour provide more thigh support. A manual seat-height adjustment with separate front and rear adjusters is standard on LX models. A 2-way power height-adjustable seat is standard on 4-cylinder EX models.
For audio entertainment, LX models offer an AM/FM/CD audio system with six speakers. EX and V-6 models upgrade to a 6-disc in-dash CD changer. And the EX V-6 with 6-speed manual transmission upgrades to a 180-watt Premium AM/FM/6-disc in-dash CD changer audio system.
