Accord Euro CU2 vs Accord Euro CL9 - Battle of the Euros

Cool and nice video. I have a red Accord.

I have a Cl9, cl7 & cl9 are very popular on our place. One of the reason is they have aftermarket . The accord euro, type s is easy to keep in repair .

P.s. I live in HK

I have a 08 CL7 and my friend has a 09 CU2, oddly enough we are both at 170K at the moment. While the CU2 interior is nicer my friends interior is literally falling apart. The armrest leather has a huge hole in it. Also his door panels where you rest your arm at is basically gone lol.
The leather is more supple in the CU2 but I really question the durability.

Where do you buy the Honda license plate frames? I went to Honda parts centre and they said they don't sell them but hondacare said they do lol

What did you think of the steering ratio's? That is something that annoys me on the CU1. And i'm not sure if they're any different...

Hey would you be at all interested in reviewing my 2012 Volvo S60 T4?

Very well presented, you come across very calm and confident in your car knowledge. A pleasure to watch

Great comparison! Just got myself a CU2 TSX here in the states. absolutely love it!

Doesn't the CU2 come with the smart key?

Have CU2 one of the last made in black with clear blinkers. But love the lighter old ones. Was always a fan of euro r spoon built.

I had a manual 2.0l CU2 and it was very boat-y. Very good car otherwise but for a single person it is quite huge.

The CU2 Luxury is one of the best looking stock sedans ever made. The sound system is incredible too. Shame there wasn't a turbo or V6 option in Australia.

I just bought my 1st cu2 today and wow it is bloody nice. I was afraid it was going to be abit small inside (I'm 5ft 11 and quite a big fella) and I was pleasantly surprised about how much room there was in both the front and rare seats. The rare seats do look small but when I sat in them it felt very comfortable with adequate leg room. The cabin is so quiet and road noise is barely there. I have the 5sp auto with paddle shifters and man it can go! I made a decision to either get a car for long trips and work OR to add a few mods. Once I realized my bank account was laughing at me I opted for the less tunable option. Throttle response does feel abit laggy but after checking airfilter it looked like it had been sitting in years worth of poop so I'm off to repco for a new filter. Hopefully that will help. Your videos are great. Straight to the bloody point - EXACTLY how kiwis are. Non of this 30mins of rambling to share 2mins of the info you actually need, so well done mate! Legend.

First, sorry for my english 😄 iam from Croatia and my english its not so good.
I see you video and its verry great ! I have the Accord Cl 9 AT and Cu2 AT
For my has the CL a timeles Design and give you mutch more fun to drive.
The Cu2 is havier and biger and you feel that. But the cu2 Engine its Stronger, the suspension give you mor stability when you drive 200km/h + on the german Autobahn. 👍👌💪🏻😎

The Conception in Cu its mutch mor bether for the CL.
Conception Highway Zagreb to Zurich max 130km/h:
Cl9 = 8.5L /100km
CU2= 7.2 /100km

So witch one is bether ?
i dont know ! I Love my cars same ♥️
I think the Cu2 its betther for Highway and German Autobahn !

The CL its bether in the City and when you driving to Alps.

Thx for the video mate !
I have personaly owned all accord cars (Europe) since the 91 model with the best engine each time, also a ATR 99.
I for sure much prefer the cu2 than the cl9. I owned them both in 2.4L 6mt, never modified them, only put some good tires and 17" wheels on it. 12 years with à 2009 cu2 and i swear it is a much better car. Enjoy your H gentlemen.

What are the differences in automatic transmissions for both these cars? Are they still CVT's? I recall someone at the Honda dealership tell me that the CL9 transmission was not a CVT, and I have not been able to find much info online

Great review want both now lol

Cl9😍😍😍

Hi. Ie

I have both a CU2 & CL9 both with 6MT in stock form. I suppose without the mods on the CL9, the CU2 is much faster and drives better then a CL9:) A great video and spot-on commentary, keep up the great work!

Im confuse..how much horsepower CU2? Stock

Could you imagine how good the cl9 would be if it had the same gear ratios as the cu2 from factory

CU2 is heavy and draggy look at the huge bonnet

I dunno how I end up watching your vids... I'm driving a CN2!

It would be fair if you had the cu2 modded like your cl9 bro.. just sayin

Kiwi, if you can choose between cu2 auto or manual, which one you prefer? How much manual cu2 feels faster than auto version?

I'm still confused on the k24 engines. So what's the main difference between my 2012 tsx and a 2008?

Yo Man.
Why would Acura allow such an ugly car to be sold?
The 09+ models.
It was all good until the 09 models.

Who approved this garbage to the public?

Wow

In my opinion, the Honda grille on the CU2 chassis looks weird. I think the USA Acura grille looks much better on that car

Got my CU2 Thursday last week. It’s from Japan

absolutely love the cl9, when i first saw it and it's price tag I just needed to have it lol

Classic video !

Where u get the sports kit from for the 06 cl9

You have great content, nice to seem some kiwi reviews with familiar roads. Thank you

Hi can i fix cl9 rear spoiler to my cu2

How did you change the front grill? Can you make a video on that?

"fuck soy boys" on the back XDD

I was cross-shopping the cl9 and cu2 here in the states. I was leaning more towards the cl9 bc i like more "sporty" Honda like driving. But eventually got the cu2 for the exact points you mentioned. Its more luxury and better for daily driving and still has a fun factor for sure. 6spd ofc.

I've got the 09 CU2 on 20s & bc racing coilovers. Even though the engine is 💯 stock goes great...handles amazing.. even on the 20s.. 245 up front and 275 on the back..
I say if this CU2 had some suspension work it would have been heaps better on the drive portion.. im all about the CU2.. great car!

If you modify a CU2 with the same mods as CL9 you get a much better and modern car.

That’s an unfair comparison as your Cl9 is modified where the CU2 is a stock engine.

Very nice Video bro 🤝

I had the cu2 here in Florida. 6 speed. Loved it

Fantastic video, I got the CU2 myself and I love it! Subscribed!

I drive a 2011 CU2 manual and love it. Should probably treat it better than i do. It has 180k on the ODO and never had an issue outside a light bulb change and some of the undercarriage plastic coming loose.

From South Africa, I drive a Cu2 automatic. Great pull away. Great car, but very fragile front bumper for such a big car. Infact I'm having it readjusted this Wednesday.

Is the CU2 or CL9 more reliable? I was looking into them but I need one which has lesser issues. Do tell me please

are the rims 18x8.5? and did u have to do any adjustments after getting the rims ie camber arms etc?

I’ve had both. Can’t tell which I like better. Both were awesome.
