I have to say, that is amazing. I was skeptical of this new Accord after the first dyno on the AT. If this coupe puts down decent handlng numbers, it will be a nice street car for those of us who want an entertaining car, but care none about street racing.

Whatever handling numbers come our way in publications, I can say confidently that this 6MT Coupe is very well-balanced, grippy, has little body roll and fun-to-drive. Shawn and I concurred that this car has ample limits for most people to use on the street. Just don't jump from an S2000 into this car and expect the same kind of drive.

This Coupe reminds me a lot of the 5AT TL in terms of handling (prior to the intro of the TL-S and the softening of the 5AT TL suspension). Except that it is a touch firmer and feels a bit better damped and with longer travel. It corners nicely, has good adjustability and puts the power down pretty well in corners - but it will still light up the inside tire under serious power applications. Even so, power understeer isn't as bad as you might think.
