2016 Accord Sport with CVT: very fun

I'll start and end this review with the same thought: pricepoint. I did my research and suspected this car to be a great value, with the dealer discounts and great service. I drove it once. The second time I drove it (after driving other, similar mid-sized sedans, Mazda, Toyota, Ford), I drove it home. Why? While it may not be #1 in any category by which I or anyone else values vehicles, it hit the top 2 or 3 in just about every category I was looking for in an affordable, efficient car. It holds value, gets good mileage, and is reliable. The Honda service is excellent (look it up). Great cargo space, comfortable (and biggest of all comparable cars, I felt) interior, great safety features. Great re-sale value in 3 years..... I like that. A lot. The CVT was a mystery to me. I broke the car in, then started testing the transmission. It is an entirely different driving experience from any car I have ever owned. In short: fun! I could drive a CVT car without paddle shifters, but I think I would miss the fun of engine braking and challenging myself to nail a good rpm setting. I can see why Honda offered this package with a Sport label. With the CVT, the forced paddle downshifts are smoother than downshifts on the other transmissions. Paddle-downshifting this car into a sharp turn is a breeze. Highway on-ramps? Drop it into 'S" and manually (yet more smoothly and more quickly than manual or automatic) upshift until you are at highway speed, then bring it back to "D", set the cruise. and let the CVT get you 35 mpg. The electronics are basic, but very functional. I don't care about navigation in my vehicles, as I have a cell phone with GPS. So does everyone else I know. Bluetooth and USB are easy to use and nearly fully controlled on the steering wheel. Climate control is adequate. The trunk is impressive, and the seats split 60/40. These features are worth noting for those on the fence between a sedan and a crossover or full-fledged SUV. This car handles very well, with smooth steering and manipulative suspension. By that, I mean one can still drop that nose into a corner, like the Accords of old. Some out there will know what I mean. For the price, I cannot recommend a vehicle with more value, reliability efficiency, and ... the "F-factor" ... fun. "Value"... so subjective. Consider bang-for-the-buck, resale, maintenance, technology, mileage, performance, safety, service, insurance, cargo space, interior space... Taken altogether, the Accord Sport is a diamond in the rough at this price point. It outshines more expensive vehicles in every category aforementioned, yet it can be had for <$23,000 out the door. The money the buyer saves on maintenance and fuel , coupled with the performance, should push any "used luxury" buyer (you know who you are, I am you) toward the 2016 Accord. One just has to drive it.

European look with Honda quality

I recently migrated from a 2002 Accord Coupe EX V6 and so far I could not be happier with this new car. I was concerned about moving to a 4-cylinder but it has enough pep to get the job done. The sporty look, inside and out, along with the paddle shifters for manual mode add enough juice to it I am not missing the V6. All the chrome trim inside with the aluminum peddles really make it feel like a more pricy European vehicle. I'm was pleasantly surprised at how roomy the back seat is. I expect the same quality I have come to appreciate from Honda.

It is a nice solid car for the price. However, the wind and cabin noise when going over 60 miles per hour is excessive and certainly doesn't live up to the industry's standards or Honda. If you are looking for a quiet highway drive, take a long test ride and listen carefully.

Test drive the Accord at speeds above 55 mph to be certain you can live with the noise. Other wise it is a good car. I am tall and on the fat side and find it comfortable. Two months now with the car and in mixed driving it is getting just over 30 mpg. The floor mats are crap, they wear through in months. There are actually on line blogs complaining about how rappy the floor matts are.
