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.

  What a great value... - 2004 Honda Accord
  By fferrazzi - January 15 - 2:00 am

  After looking at other cars and test driving- I looked at the VW Passat and Mazda6 but wasnt impressed! I traded in my Civic- night and day to this wonderful smooth Accord. I would anyone to get one who wanted a reliable, nicely designed car around $20k. I added a spoiler to make it sporty b/c Im young. I got a great deal and everyone should know that you can get them for invoice price. Ive only had it a week but it has great peep and nice gas mileage plus extra features I feel make it like a luxury car!!! Forget the Passat,Camry, Mazda6- GET the ACCORD!!!

  Awesome - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Milkduds - January 15 - 2:00 am

  Almost 12000 miles and still as if I just got the car. Great power and a good ride. Safe and dependable. Well worth each and every dollar spent. I suggest getting the moon roof visor.

  So glad I went with this car - 2005 Honda Accord
  By barakutha - January 14 - 7:33 pm

  After driving a Honda Civic for the past 7years, it was time to upgrade to its bigger brother. The engine on this car is AMAZING. Either starting at a red light, or passing on the highway, you always have more than adequate power.

  Best car on the road - 2008 Honda Accord
  By AZSoonerfan - January 14 - 10:56 am

  This is my second Honda (first Accord). I love it so far. The V-6 delivers plenty of power and is very smooth. The VCM feature is great, when I see the green ECO light pop up I know that I am saving gas. Great leg room in the back and the seats a very supportive.

  So Far, Very Satisfied.... - 2008 Honda Accord
  By greg - January 12 - 8:36 pm

  This is my 2nd consecutive Honda Accord, after replacing my 1992 Accord Coupe purchased in 1996, due more to size limitations of a growing family than mechanical need. The 92 was the best car Ive owned in 24 years of driving. I test drove several models from Toyota, Honda, Acura, VW and Nissan. The Accord was the best in my book with the Camry running a close 2nd. We wanted a safe, functional, affordable & reliable family 4-door to haul adults and kids for a variety of activities. So far were very satisfied. Safety ratings are very good. Ride, comfort, visibility, braking, steering and acceleration are excellent for a car of its size and price. MPG are decent for this size car.

  5 yrs 120K still drives like new.. really - 2004 Honda Accord
  By RNarenDMD - January 12 - 1:50 pm

  I traded my 03 BMW 530i for this car in 2004 due to reliability issues. At the time, I really felt I was taking a step down. However, this is hands down the best car Ive ever owned. What it loses in coolness, it makes up for with quality, comfort, economy, & bullet proof reliability. I have over 120K on it now. Apart from routine maint. it has needed nothing. Not a single thing. No squeaks, rattles. Interior materials top notch, wearing well. Engine actually has more pull now than when new & smooth as ever. Avg. 25mpg on regular. Have tried to come up with a reason to trade it in for a fancier car, but cant. Still offers more features than many new luxury makes in 2009.

  Fits the bill - 2008 Honda Accord
  By carzzy - January 11 - 9:00 pm

  I was looking for a mid size coupe with style, performance and all season traction capability. I was also looking at a price that would not murder my budget. I found all this with the new for 08 Honda Accord EXL V6 MT Coupe! The car is roomy inside, comfortable, handles and performs great and is fun to drive. I have also received many "thumbs ups" from enthusiastic onlookers.
