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.

  08 Accord Leader of the Pack! - 2008 Honda Accord

  Safety is standard equipment! Has three wide seating in the rear. How do they make a four cylinder produce that much power?

  200K & It Wont Quit - 1996 Honda Accord
  By kSLC - August 15 - 7:40 pm

  Mechanically and with looks, this car is incredible. Over 200K and no oil leaks and looks like new. Doesnt burn oil, doesnt drip, doesnt show any sign of stopping any time soon. Worth twice what Detroit was putting out during that same time! I dont count myself as a Honda nut, but honestly, the engineering of this car is incredible. Planned obsolescence be damned. :)

  Honda quality - 1999 Honda Accord
  By chuck - August 15 - 6:57 am

  My 1999 accord quality and reliability is so bad that I am convinced Honda is misleading the customers on their claim on reliability. Through this review, I would like to point out a flaw, either in the design or the manufacturing process, of the 1999 model year Honda Accord engine. The cylinder #3 valve melted out and blew a hole in it while driving on the highway. The mileage on the car was only about 105K. Honda dealers, and Honda H.Q. refused to honor any claims since the mileage is over 80K.

  Beware of going over 100,000 miles - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Keith - August 15 - 4:58 am

  Had transmission issues-gasket in-between casings gone-hard to fix -costing 15-2000 dollars. Two oil leaks sprang up in engine-gaskets. I was later told Honda gaskets die after 100,000-so dam true! Other person I know had severe transmission issues in this model. Door is a issue-try and go out it goes to swing back on you. Body rot started on the panels-exhaust system rotted out-same right tail light went out 6 times in a few years. Nightmare. Please look at the later models first. This 2003 was a Bust!

  My Mafia Car - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Radmanaustin - August 14 - 1:15 pm

  If you can be in love with an inanimate object then I guess I am. My Black EX V6 Accord is just a lot of fun to drive. The 105 degree Texas weather does not bother me. Two clicks and hold on the door unlock button lowers all windows. The jet black paint needs frequent washes but this car deserves the love. Gas mileage is as advertised, 21 mpg city. I work for the State Environmental Agency and I tried driving green but decided that fun was the better choice. Buy an Accord used and save your money. Mine was two years old and it looks brand new. They are built to last. I call it my mafia car and my wife just laughs.

  Accord V6 Coupe - 2004 Honda Accord
  By BobCat - August 12 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car. My previous car was a BMW325ci coupe, so the Honda had a lot to live up to. I immediately replaced the 16" wheels and tires with 17" wheels and better tires. This has made a big difference in handling and driving enjoyment. The stock wheels and tires, in my opinion, are inadequate. I am not speaking as a "motorhead"; but, someone who simply wants a better driving experience. I admit the BMW had a lot of nice features that I got used to and miss; however, I have good value/performance for my money with this car. See improvements. Overall I am very happy with this car.

  Little bit of everything - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Seg - August 11 - 6:30 am

  I stepped out of an 04 S2000 to accommodate growing family and this has been the right choice. The car looks great, built very soundly, great performance for what it is and what it costs. Its a lot of fun to drive, and this is coming from a guy who has had cars w/400+hp and an S2000. The dual chrome exhaust pipes look good and remind me of my past sports cars. The leather is comfortable, the sound system is great, interior and exterior styling is slick, and the ride is smooth. Plus its a honda so you know its going to last you well beyond its warranty. Id recommend this car to anyone looking for a well-rounded commuter car that is fun to drive.
