Grips and Groans....
Great car. The technology seems to leap by decade. Especially with regard to driving dynamics and torsional rigidity. So far my biggest gripes are the following. 1). There is no stinking way to get into the trunk from the back of the car. The only way to open the trunk is to use the key FOB or the internal release lever. Personally I don't always have my key FOB with me and when I walk to the back of the car with a hand full of stuff I want to be able to open the trunk. There used to be a day when all Honda had a release lever and also a keyed latch. Basic stuff that all cars should have. 2) The HVAC system makes this irritating pulsing noise that you can hear at idle. The rest of the car is so quiet is appears quite loud. It's not just the sound but the nature of the pulsing because it feels like a pressure pulse that rises and falls. It's actually unnerving.

Beautiful car
I did a LOT of research and took a LOT of test drives. This is a wonderful car. It has a fantastic drive, and is very comfortable! I've never bought a sedan, and I have no regrets with this car. It is truly my dream car.

The last of the true legacy Accord line up
I waited 2 long years to write this review; or should I said, 2 years from the moment I purchased the car. Being a avid car enthusiast, I got a hint through online forums and discussions that Honda will be moving to turbo engines in 2017 and going forward so I knew I had to act quick. I will elaborate...I have been driving Honda/Acura cars for the last 11 years, since I was 21. I won't waste time going into their reliability and quality, they have established that over the last 30 years. At the time of buying the 2016 Accord Sport 6MT, I was driving an Acura CL Type S 6MT and my secondary car was/is 1995 Accord EX 5MT. The CL was a great sporty car but it was aging (2003) and I wanted long term solution to my car situation as the 1995 Accord was pushing 250K at the time (currently is at 280K and rocking solid). I didn't want to wait for new generation Accords because I didn't want to go to turbo engines that are uncharted territory for Honda. I also didn't want another coupe like the CL and manual was a must so the natural choice came down to the Sport trim with the 6MT. I did several months of research and found that the 2.4 DI I-4 matted to a dual-mass flywheel clutch 6MT was a win-win as the engine has a timing chain instead of a timing belt and the dual mass flywheel clutch when driven hard but not abused under experienced driver (15 years of driving manual, since I was 16); that combo would provide close to 200K miles of no chain or clutch replacement needed, only minor tuning and maintenance on them. Both the 2.4 DI and the 6MT dual mass clutch are tried and true, no nonsense about them. On top of that, I wanted to get a 2016 model due to some great aesthetic upgrades, both inside and especially out. The inside for example, 2016 has red and black cockpit instead of white in 2013-2015, all black trim instead of grayish dash, phenomenal leather/steel shifter, aluminum pedals, etc. Outside there are so many improvements over 2013-2015 that I can't even count, especially those LED fog lights and 19 inch wheels taken from the Touring trim. To wrap this up, for the 2 years I've owned the car, I've only changed the oil 3 times (at 5K intervals, currently at 18K). That is literally it. The car is fun to drive, rock solid reliability, it's beautiful, it's attractive, it's got plenty of power, the 6MT is as good as a manual can be, AC is great, heat is excellent - basically, it's a complete car. What I also love about it that it's the last of the dying breed of simple interiors. No gimmicks, no space shuttle curvature of the dash, no goofy buttons, no LED RPM gauge; just classic interior with classic set up. It's truly a dying breed and cars like this aren't made anymore. Proof of that is the 2018 Accord, it couldn't be more gimmicky inside, starting with the aforementioned LED RPM gauge (cringe worthy). I should also mention that I talked the dealer down (spent a whole Saturday and half of a Monday there) to the invoice price; they frowned up having a manual car on the lot because they're a hard sell in Midwest Wisconsin, especially during winter months and it's a imported sedan. The fact I got it at such a great price makes it all so much complete. I will own this car for decades and plan on seeing it reach the same miles as my 1995 Accord (280K+).

sexy car with not so great interior design
Outside is WONDERFUL however driving sites very low to the ground in the sport edition which causes the handling to be quite ruff and the ride just as ruff, the controls on the steering wheel are horribly placed and you constantly hit the dial a person button. The steering wheel is just awkward in general. Also the stereo system is terrible you do not get quality thats for sure.

Good
Bought it for 23300. Very good so far. Had it for two weeks. Drove 1400 miles highway and averaged out 32 to 33 mpg. Kinda shifts to left but i think its just the wheel alignment.
