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.

  Love it! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By Thew60 - September 4 - 10:00 am

  This is my third Accord. Cant beat Hondas reliability, quality. The ride is harsher than that of a Camry but a hell of a lot more fun to drive, and the seats are more comfortable.

  So Glad I Bought It!!!! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By bluemist - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I love my new Honda Accord!! I get so many compliments on its looks and the color I picked (graphite pearl) is so classy. It handles well and is so smooth riding. The sound system is excellent. I am tall and it gives me plenty of leg room. The drivers seat is very comfortable. I dont have back aches like I did with my 92 Subaru.

  Best Car Made - 2003 Honda Accord
  By BrDu - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I have a Blk EX 4cyl w/Leather and spoiler. Its a hot looking and driving car. It does everything you could want. I love the 6 CD changer in dash and the audio controls on the steering wheel. Love the dual climate control, leather, power seats, sun roof, and is quiet and drives like a dream. Anything you can think of this car already does. I have the Automatic 4 cyl, I would like a bit better gas milage but you cant have everything.

  I love my new Honda Accord Coupe!! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Foxyangl - September 4 - 10:00 am

  This is my firstcar and I absolutely love it. It is so stylish and at the same time so dependable. The four cylinder engine is surprisingly powerful and only struggles when going up steep hills. The seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of leg and head room which I really appreciated seeing Im almost 6. My only complaints about the interior deal with the dashboard. At night the radio and all the controls glow a very annoying bright orange color. Also the vents are positioned so they blow right on your hands when you have them at the proper 10 and 2. Those are my only complaints on the entire car and I can definitely live with them.

  I love my Honda Accord!! - 2001 Honda Accord
  By sgh2b - September 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had this car for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. Not only is it a beautiful car (dark blue with gray interior), but it drives very well and is very dependable! My dad bought it as a graduation present for me to take to college and use for the next 5 or 6 years, and I can see myself driving it and still loving it for that time at least! I highly recommend Honda Accords.

  A little disappointed - 1995 Honda Accord
  By ( - September 4 - 6:09 am

  I bought this used Honda Accord, 3 years ago for my daughter. I paid $5K for it and had expected it to go for her thru college. It started out with some overheating problems and replacing the radiator. Not so bad, but 3 years later more over heating. This time the engine was bad. I decided to put a new (used) engine in her because it is a Honda. In 3 years I have pumped ~ 5K into a a 5K car. Im not too thrilled. Ive always had luck with Honda in the past, but I expected more. I thought this would just be a gas and go car for me and my daughter. In 3 years it has not worked out that way. There is always a risk buying a used car. You dont know how well the prev. owner cared for it.

  Accord has improved over the years. - 2016 Honda Accord
  By leonides samaniego - September 4 - 2:18 am

  I bought my first new Accord in 1987, then in 1996, my son is still using my 2004 Accord, but this is the best Accord I have owned so far.

  Good vehicle - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Rob - September 3 - 9:41 pm

  I bought my 2004 EX 4 cyl., navi package brand new. I have been very happy with my purchase. I live in a walkable urban setting so I dont drive that much. I have 54K miles on the car. The only things I have done to it is have the oil/filter changed and fluids topped off (this is done for free every 7,000 miles by the dealer as part of the purchase) and the sunglass holder on the ceiling broke at around 50K miles so I had that replaced. The car didnt need to have any tweaks done when I bought it. There are still no squeaks or rattles. I have bought one new navi CD for it about 3 years ago so I will probably buy another CD next year.

  Honda Forever - 2004 Honda Accord
  By David - September 3 - 9:07 am

  Went from being a Honda owner, to being a new Chrysler (nightmare) owner, back to Honda. My Honda (aside from maintenance) has never had problem 1. My daily trip to and from the office is something I always look forward to. Its comfortable, roomy for its size, handles wonderfully and even has considerable kick under the hood. I know that the guy in the Mustang GT who took off from a standing start must have been pretty bummed to see a Honda directly behind him in his rearview mirror. No lie. It lives up to all 240 horses. Go Honda, you will not be disappointed.
