Good, bad or indifferent. I have come across some low mileage examples that interest me. Is there any reason to avoid them?

What year(s)? I absolutely love these cars. Still kicking myself for not having bought one yet. A lot of people scoff at the idea, but I think they compare rather favorably to cars like the V6 Mustang for DD use. They're really fast, have a sports car worthy transmission...it's incredibly slick, huge back seat, huge trunk, if you get the EX-L trim, they're loaded with all kinds of goodies, reliable as gravity, great mpg. Not much to dislike, unless you have a bias against FWD family sedan based vehicles. Living with a coupe can be a pain, but beyond that, they're awesome!!

Assuming the V6 is like the one in my wife's '13 4-door Accord, the thing is a beast. Coupe plus V6 plus manual trans = buy one already!

Reminds me of what the prelude should have become.

Yeah, Honda's actually been building a v6 mustang killer in the accord coupe for awhile now and it's largely gone unnoticed by the enthusiast community. I hope it stays that way. I almost pulled the trigger on (relatively) low mileage coupe last year but couldn't justify buying another DD. Kinda still wish I did though. The interesting thing about the J30 in the 7th gens is that they behave rather like the k24 in normal day to day driving revving under 4k. But slam the throttle and downshift and you got another thing entirely on your hands. I really dig the dual personality.
