what ages do you think this car suites well?

 

[dash242]

16-84, becuz u shouldn't drive after 84, LOL.

20s to mid 30s....its too sporty for the older crowd, plus 2 doors is only something you can live with if its just you, and maybe your gf/wife...a family doesnt do good w/ 2 doors....and its a sad thing....

my dads 98 firebird trans am...with the ws6 package was supposed to be mine, but he traded it in for a family sedan....which just happend to be a 6th gen accord.....*sigh* oh well

Agree with Demonik, except if you're in your mid-30s and don't have a girl and/or kids, a nice, sporty coupe might help you get out of that mess.

You guy's are funny, it shouldn't matter what age, if the car fits the role buy it.
You think when you hit 31 your going to all of a sudden change your look on car styling, performance etc ?

Hold on - I'm in the "older crowd" and have only had three 4 door vehicles in 44 years of driving- out of 58 total cars owned. I have a Vette and an 08 Accord coupe, presently. If you have a family that wants four doors let 'em take the bus! Style, performance, handling and ZOOM factor have nothing to do with aging - if you are a true car nut. I still spend some seat time at the track every year in something, and don't plan on stopping until embalming fluid runs through my liver.

Lets see if somebody can beat me. I'm 50 and just purchased a Silver EXL Coupe. I like the styling better than the 4-dr and it has a sporty yet classy look. Not so much boy racer like a Civic 2 door. I traded a 07 Odyssey in on it. Its just my wife and 16yr old and pets. In the past we have taken long road trips but we have decided to fly more. I have 2 Accords -A 06 4dr and the 08. I cant think of a more well rounded car for everyday use than the Accord.

I enjoy seeing older folks driving this car..I've seen one 20-30 something yr old girl driving her v6 coupe last fall (well I assume it was hers, might not have been)

elsewise, the other 4-5 coupes i've seen here in Carmel (northside of Indianapolis) has been well..professionals in the 35-55 range... all cordial..all giving the thumbs up or wave =)

 

[jang859]

i saw a man at least in his 50's pass by in an Accord coupe, and it looked right.

heck old gents in a mustang or those new t-birds looks right too. or a corvette.

if you like sporty cars you will never stop.

this car is for people 16-84, like the one user said.

 

[Landshark67]

Better to ask this question to the Honda Marketing execs. Otherwise, who cares ?

Just turned 31 myself! And I still LOVE my 6 manual gears, 2 doors, and slammin' heavy metal! =)

Age...but don't grow old.

 

[Demonik]

yes, and see i will be the same way when i get older....but for the majority of the population, it isnt like that....us car enthusiasts are very different

 

[Dadshouse08]

my 2 cents I'm 32 and have five kids lol and the two door works great as long as I don't have all at once or one gets stuffed in the trunk jk. who says you have to have a mini-van for a family life is about having fun and we only live once..........

Yes, except I did it at 21 instead of 31.

 

[Schu]

I can't speak for anyone else but personally, I am 46... Been tracking cars and Bikes since I was around 18, no kids, 1 dog, lots of toys.

Aged, yes... Old, never

that's the correct demographic for this car

 

[dking99]

The first two Coupes I passed on the road after getting mine were driven by a female (probably 20 to 30 years old) and a male (probably 35-45 years old). The male's Coupe was friggin covered in bird shit, front to back. I mean, like, this guy parked under a nesting tree for weeks and underwent a new paint job. Seriously speaking, he probably had about 50 decent sized spots of bird shit on his car...what a shame!

So far 90% of the Coupes I see are between 25 and 35 years old. And I would say I have seen about 7 men and 3 women total. Half V6, half I4. Pretty good mix if you ask me.

 

[Jay1335]

Im 25 here and love my V6 Coupe!!!! Keeps me happy till I can replace my s2000

 

[spacejamz]

what is the point of this thread? that only people around the age of 25 are cool enough to own a coupe???

i'm 38 and got the coupe because it looks hotter than the sedan.

heck im 26, and as i said in my previous post on page 1... i find it cooler when folks older are driving this car out n about...

it doesn't make it seem so much like a car for lucky/privileged high school kids, or just a car kid's drive. ie tiburon , eclipses, etc.

350z's and infiniti G35 and 37's walk the same 'cross ages' line pretty well too, from just my own local/regional observations.

I agree with dash242 :thmsup: (and not Demonik who said "20s to mid 30s....its too sporty for the older crowd"....) Sorry "Mr. Demon", the late 40's to mid 50's "crowd" I hang with have ALL kind of sporty rides like Porsches, Corvettes, Ferraris, G37, 'Stang Cobras, Jag's etc. (and sporty second cars or trucks, like Benz & Rover for the kids etc.) I've driven them all, including recent joy rides in a 505 HP '07 Z06 and '07 997 Twin Turbo. Those rocket ships are just "status symbols" for my friends. I could own any one of them, but don't choose a ride just to impress others.

This "old fart" has always been a coupe enthusiast (Yes it helps to be divorced with no kids and just a GF) In addition to my "long term" previous rides listed below, I've had a few garage queen/show cars including 2 Corvettes and a Porshe. Hell, I bought my first '69 Vette in 1982, when most of you were in diapers, (or not even born?) I nearly bought an '07 Porshe Cayman tiptronic instead of my Accord coupe, but my "old bones" are tired of a super stiff ride and I'd rather have the extra ca$h in the bank (or the market). :naughty:
