I have a new 2018 Accord with a 6 speed manual. Well I say it’s new... it has 60k miles now, but it’s the current generation (released in 2018). Honda discontinued the manual transmission for the accord in late 2019 because they sold less than 5000 in both 2018 and 2019. On one hand that’s evidence that nobody wants them, on the other hand they’re somewhat rare. Prices on autotrader look like the manuals aren’t any more valuable than the autos, but you do have to travel to get one.
The question is will this car become sought after being that it’s the most modern version of the accord with a stick (or at least not depreciate as fast as its auto counterparts)? It’s the smaller 1.5 engine so that doesn’t help. Most likely, Honda is right and nobody wants a manual sedan, but it never hurts to be hopeful.
