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.

  Sad Day For Me! - 1995 Honda Accord
  By djohns - February 13 - 10:18 am

  I purchased this 95 in 1998 with 35k miles on it. Today (2/13/08)is my final day of ownership (going to the salvage yard) 205k miles and the timing belt/water pump came apart while wife was driving full road speed, so the valves are probably bent/shot. I had replaced timing belt and pump at 160k, so they failed before their time! Car value not worth fixing the damage, plus other things were needing repair also. Loved the car!

  By 1st honda - February 12 - 4:56 pm

  Awesome little car my first Honda, I can see now why Honda gets all the press. The only beef I have is Im not very pleased with the front seats my back hurts after driving a distance in this car but overall I am very pleased. This car glides along you barely know youre driving it.

  Best Car Ever Owned! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Paddy - February 11 - 3:36 pm

  This is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. It is so unbelievably quiet you can hear yourself whisper at 45 mph. The engine alone (V6) was worth it. It is very powerful and I have averaged about 24 mpg combined so far. Unbelievable car.

  5 year update - 2003 Honda Accord
  By cxv - February 9 - 3:30 pm

  After 5 years of ownership I can declare that the 03 Accord is an excellent car. Im in the military and we shipped the car to Europe and drove it all over the place. Now back in the US the car is still running and working great. Lots of Accords in my area so we lost the unique factor we had in Europe since the Euro Accord is an Acura TSX for us. My in laws may move close to us so we may pass the car to them and look into another Honda or Acura for us.

  Excellence in Design - 2003 Honda Accord
  By HondaLover38 - February 8 - 2:00 am

  When I first encountered a Honda vehicle I was not aware of the reputation for reliability. I was purchasing a stylish and affordable vehicle. After having the vehicle for over four years, I was convinced there was no other vehicle for me. I went and selected a new Honda. This newer model has features my 92 model did not have. I really appreciate the larger cabin and the soundness of the structure. The car is built better than my in-laws vehicle and I will mention they also bought a foreign made vehicle. I would not buy anything except a Honda vehicle.

  A great ride !!! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Elizvi94 - February 8 - 2:00 am

  This car is so smooth to drive. It has tons of room inside to easily fit 4 people. The XM radio is so clear. The V6 really moves and the steering is tight. I really enjoy getting into this car everyday :O) They have great lease rates.
