Unbelievable car for the money. Was looking for a 2nd car and had outgrown my Focus ST. Already have an Odyssey so needed a vehicle that I could commute, take 3 kids to their events, and go around town. Considered going Outback or CUV, but kept coming back to the Accord as I value driving dynamics and comfort. A CUV only gives you 50% of that, and for 95% of my life, I don't need AWD and our minivan can handle hauling gear. The amount of care that went I to designing this car is evident. From the huge backseat/trunk, the climate control buttons that light up blue or red depending on which way you turn them, the rearview mirror that's the same shape as the rear window, and well designed center armrest, Honda really nailed the small things well. As far as driving, I miss having a manual transmission, but the 10spd is excellent, doesn't hunt and the engine really pulls and you can use regular gas! I find the cabin really quiet (for the class) on the road and it handles so well. As far as cost to own, it's low maintenance, doesn't have the extra maintenance an AWD system would require and insurance rates for me were on par or lower than other vehicles in it's class and outside that I cross shopped with. I have only 2 knocks and they are minor for me. The sound system is not that great for being a premium one, but it's not horrible. I also kept bumping my right knee into the center console that angles out which is hard plastic. There's a soft padded section under that curve and it took awhile to find a seating position where my knee didn't bump, but it's a slightly lower driving position than I would prefer. Only you can decide whether a car meets your needs or not and so much is subjective (looks, feel, image), but while not popular anymore sedans can meet so many daily needs and this is one of the best. Plus, since they're not selling as well, you can get a killer deal on Accords now! I got close to 20% off msrp on a touring model with only 4 miles on it!

Went from 2018 EX-L to 2020 Touring Edition

I was able to upgrade my lease from a 2018 to a new 2020 Touring edition in late October 2020. The drivetrain is still sensational, no major changes except for some welcome features such as ventilated seats, rain-sensing wipers, wireless phone charging, and adaptive dampers. On the latter feature, I'm not certain I appreciate whatever differences exist from my previous model (this is my 7th consecutive high end Accord lease). I suspect the low profile tires and 19 inch wheels would produce a slightly harsh ride without these dampers, which is already biased toward the firm side which favors better handling. Handling characteristics remain best in class or, at least, matched with the soon-to-disappear Mazda 6. My mileage seems down 1 mpg in mixed driving (27-28 mpg) but remains better than EPA, especially on the highway. The biggest flaw in the Accord remains road noise on coarse pavement, although it's very quiet on smoother surfaces. The road noise isn't that obtrusive, but it can be annoying if you're listening to music. Honda needs to make a leap forward in this area; it's been a flaw with every Accord I've had. The radar sensor module seems more exposed to slushy snow which can block the signal than in the previous generation Accord...no problem in powdery snow. The stereo has real power and lots of speakers, but the final product through those speakers leaves something to be desired. I note the new Civic Touring edition comes with a higher quality stereo than the Accord, so I assume this will be remedied in the next generation. Comfort remains superb, and the fun-to-drive quotient remains truly high, especially for a family sedan. It is a blast to tromp on the throttle from time to time, fit and finish is superb, have to watch those 19" wheels which jut out and are more vulnerable to curbs. I consider the Accord a great value and, those flaws aside, a joy to drive. -As of February 2022, no major changes to my original thoughts. Drivetrain and handling remain joys, still annoyed by road noise on coarse pavement, 19" rims are too easy to scuff and damage. Drove through 10" snowstorm a few nights ago on my Michelins, which were a bit better in the snow than I expected. Putting car in Economy mode helps reduce wheelspin when starting from a dead stop. Stereo is okay, powerful, but substandard overall audio quality for a car in this class. Radar sensor module still too exposed to wet snow and becomes obscured...works fine in "fluffier" snow. This is a very low mileage car (6600 miles in 16 months), so wear and tear is minimal. Heater, despite smaller 2.0T dimensions (and less coolant to heat up) is slower to heat than my previous 3.5 liter V-6s, and I'm certain I'm not imagining this. The Accord V6 had a sensational heater, the 2.0 falls a little short. Rear defroster is weak, and has been in all of my 7 Accords. Ride is a tad too firm for these old bones. All these whines aside, I don't imagine switching to a different vehicle when my lease is up. On the whole, my Accords have been as close to bulletproof and as much fun to drive as I could reasonably expect in this price class. -As of early August, 2022, no changes to my earlier laudatory review. My Touring Edition Accord remains a pleasure to drive, every drive, and remains absolutely trouble free. My lease isn’t up for a little more than a year, and I may consider purchasing this car if the supply problem remains so severe. Otherwise, I might consider switching to the hybrid EX-L, though I would then be missing a couple of the spiffy doodads in my current car, like ventilated seats which have been great in this very warm summer. In any case, if there is a new addition of the Honda Accord available, I hope Honda has been working hard on the road noise flaw. Finally, in February 2023, I have nothing really new to add to my previous reviews. The 2020 Touring Edition has been a gem, with the flaws of road noise on coarse pavement and a radar module which coats easily with slushy snow (not powdery snow) and become inoperative still being annoyances. Otherwise, the 2.0 liter/10 speed drivetrain continues to be a blast in a very good handling "family" sedan. This final review on this car is a note of disappointment, not about my current car, but about the 2023 Touring Hybrid edition Accord. The new Accord is now longer, and will no longer fit in my garage, eliminating it from becoming my 8th consecutive high end Accord. The reviews on the new edition in the car mags are far less positive because Honda saw fit to kill the 2.0 liter drivetrain, replacing it with a slower CVT hybrid which doesn't brake as well and doesn't shift as well. All in all, I think Honda has taken a large step backward with the new Accord from what I've been reading, and even if it fit in my garage, I probably would have gone with the CRV Sport Touring Hybrid. AWD would have made it a good substitute for the lackluster Accord, but I'm a lease fella, and the current Honda leases on the high end CRV hybrid are absurdly high. So, it's probably a sad goodbye to Honda.

An incredible car. It replaced a 2001 Jaguar Vandeplas supercharged. Performance is about the same with a firmer ride. The wheels are vulnerable to pot holes. I love all the safety features. No problems so far.

I have only had the vehicle one week and will update this as needed. First off, the car needed an alignment from the time I took delivery. I chalked up the floaty all over the road feeling to not being used to this vehicle. After a day driving of driving I realized that was not the case and dropped by my local dealer. The tech took me on the ride with him and said it was definitely pulling to the right. The solution was an alignment. That solved the problem but on my way home from the dealer I got a "Tire Pressures Low" light in my instrument cluster. I checked all tires with a gauge and they were the same pressure. Contacted the dealer and they advised the tech did nothing with the tires or pressures. They walked me through recalibrating the TPMS. Light went off. The next day the light returned after about 25 minutes of driving. Again, I checked the pressures and there was no issue. I dropped by my local dealer again to have them check the tires for nails, etc. Nothing in the tires so they reset something else in the vehicle. So far the light has stayed off. This is not something I expected to happen to a vehicle with less than 300 miles on the odometer. My next issue is that my key fob did not registered with the vehicle. When I got in the car the driver's seat did not move into it's normal position I have saved. I realized this after a few minutes of driving and I felt like I was sitting further back from the dash than usual. I looked at the door and saw that it was not set to driver 1. None of the driver setting lights on the door were illuminated. The key had been in the car the entire time since it was started so I am not sure why my settings were not remembered upon start-up of the vehicle. Other than these issues the car does have pros: Nice interior No issues w/road noise as others have stated Roomy but the car doesn't drive like it's a big car Smooth ride Adaptive cruise is smoother than the 2017 Accord I had Cons: 10 spd transmission needs a couple of seconds to kick down when attempting to speed up. Plan your lane changes with this in mind. Stereo system could be better. Sounds tinny with lots of different music types. Not a fan of the push button gear selector. Maybe I'll get used to it?

My Accord has a roaring noise similar to riding on a rumble strip. This has occurred since I purchased it in June. I have had it to the dealership four times and have contacted Honda Customer Service. Honda is aware of the problem but they do not have a fix and do not have an estimated time for the fix. So I drive a brand new car with a frightening noise coming from under the dash. People that ride in the car ask what is wrong with the car. I would not recommend this car nor will I ever purchase another Honda vehicle again. Hugely disappointed in the customer service at the dealership and the at Honda customer service.
