Excessive Wind Noise

I have owned this car for a little over a month now. This fluttering noise from the driver's side window is very annoying. This issue is still there after multiple visits to the dealership wasting a lot of time to get a BRAND NEW car fixed. Each time they are able to acknowledge the problem, but are unable to fix it. Honda told me that they did not promise to sell me a defect free car and will not even offer a loaner while a brand new car is in the shop at least once in a week. After owning three Accords before this one, I am very disappointed in Honda. This car is great on mileage and there hasn't been any major mechanical issues.

This car is amazing!!! Solidly built, awesome looking, and amazing interior! The outside is amazing. I never thought that they could look better in 2013, but Honda really did it now. The LED light bars in the rear are very noticeable, and handsome. Same with the front. Interior, the seats are very comfortable, even with some back problems. Great technology. Drives and handles amazing. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about this car!! It's amazing, to say the least! Buy it!!! You will not regret it.

Complicated Honda

The car has really good acceleration and handling, very quiet, a nice firm ride, great outward visibility. But the controls are unecessarily complicated ,illogical, and difficult to use. For example, the radio volume you adjust with a knob, but to adjust the tone you have to turn on the information screen, which is dangerous to do when you're driving and quite simply a stupid way to design the controls. Ditto resetting the trip odometer. The car's manual is very poor--illustrations are very poor and explanations incomplete or otherwise inadequate and at least in one place (p. 29 on system settings) just plain wrong. The video disc manual is equally useless as it's just a video of the paper manual. In short, the design of the controls is stupid and the manual is next to worthless. The CVT transmission is very smooth. Car seems thin in some respects, e.g. the hinges for the trunk lid. I hope they didn't skimp on other things.

I did a TON of research before making a decision - owned a little over 2mos now. Leased the 2016 Honda Accord Sedan LX (didn't care about the extra bells and whistles). Traded in my 2007 Toyota Sienna Van w/90k miles, no add'l money down, pymt is $205 39mos. Kona Coffee Metallic (pretty dark) w/black interior (had white vehicle for last 15yrs). A little adjusting since I'm used to sitting up higher. Seats are comfortable, although front passenger seat sits a little low and consequently a little more effort to get out. I have 3 grandkids (5, 8, & 11) that live locally and back seat has ample room/room to grow. Trunk is pretty darn spacious and came with trunk mat standard which I think is great. Purchased (not from dealer) all weather floor mats that cover hump in back to help with dust/rock collection (I live in Az). Handles very well. Disengaging "Eco" makes it pretty zippy when needing to accelerate (merging/uphill). Taken 700mile road trip and comfortable in seats entire time, avg 37mph highway cruising @ 75. Road noise is more than I expected, although because I live in NW Az (3500 elev) when the asphalt is not 'tight/new' this greatly affects the noise (acceptably quiet if road is good). Also believe the Continental tires are part of the problem, but does not really make sense to spend $500+ to replace them at this point. Overall happy with purchase, but sometimes the road noise gets to me. When you test drive I would suggest driving on different road types (good/smooth & bad/rough), LEAVING RADIO OFF so you can hear road/tire noises and get the full experience based on various road conditions. **Update- 8/31/2016** after owning for 8mos, road noise became overly frustrating for me. I beleive the Accord is a good solid car (particularly loved the gas mileage) but was not the right choice for me and my family needs. I ended up trading it in on an older/used but very well taken care of Toyota Tundra Quad Cab, which although the gas mileage sucks, it was worth it to me and I am much happier.

After a year with this car, I have to say that it's a really good buy for the price--its performance is great, especially on the highway, and gas mileage is great, though 2 miles below advertised in town. Excellent highway mileage. But the design of the audio and temperature controls are difficult and just plain stupid as a design. Map pockets in the doors are too short and the console storage is too short because the cup holes are to large. Some interior plastic is cheap crap. Otherwise, the car performs extremely well on the highway. The care is a very good value for the price (I'm talking about the basic model.
