Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  Has its troubles - 1996 Honda Accord
  By Dp - December 3 - 9:25 pm

  Bought with bad rotors, breaks, bad front tires and cracked radiator, 600$ out the door to begin with. Fixed it all up and its been some what reliable. A year later, had to have the head gasket resurfaced. Mechanic said that the 96+ years have a problem with the head gasket. That cost me another 1200, recently, the car has been chugging the radiator fluid, but the lines/hoses are new and radiator is sealed up tight. Still unresolved problems with loss of radiator fluid. Ill top her off and when I park it after a drive, it will overflow or dump about 1/3 of the fluid on the street and it only happens the one time I top it off. Wish I got a Tacoma. I prob got one of a few lemon accords.

  I like this car more every day - 2007 Honda Accord
  By Allegro - December 3 - 8:23 am

  I will own this car for a long time. I like to drive and this car is a great balance of performance and economy. I purchased a new Accord in 1990 and it has 160,000 miles and it has had no issues. I intend to keep this one even longer. It is nice to get a good quality car without having to pay for countless fancy options.

  Great Car - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Justin - December 1 - 4:30 am

  Love this car. After 76000 miles, only had three minor problems. (Dont know if these are limited to models built in Mexico) At 38000 miles, strangely, Instrument cluster stopped working. Harness had come loose. Also, headliner drooped in rear of car. After one attempt to glue it back, Honda replaced headliner. Also, Honda had to turn rotors, as they warped at 20000 miles. Overall, has been very reliable.

  Super reliability & gas mileage - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Robert - November 30 - 5:58 pm

  The perfect commuter & fun to drive. No problems and minimal maintenance (oil & filter, tires, brakes) in 70 K miles. Very reliable, great gas mileage: I average 30-32 MPG, 70% highway at 80 MPH. Decent performance with the 4 cylinder 5 speed combo, and fun to drive. Could not be happier!

  Great ride - 2001 Honda Accord
  By PoKid - November 29 - 6:06 am

  The car really moves when you need it to. The sleek features and the 6 Speaker 6 disk changer comes in handy for those long rides. Overall over the past three months Ive found that Im really glad I got this car.

  Excellent Value - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Satch - November 28 - 10:00 am

  After months and months of research and test drives, I finally chose the Accord V6. I test drove the Mazda6, Passat, Acura TL, Altima, and none compared to the value and quality that the Accord possesses. I have just over 800 miles and no worries. Sound system is great-- BOSE is overrated. Averaged 26 MPG on the first tank of gas! Very Impressed.
