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.

  AWESOME CAR! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Whitney Robinson - January 16 - 5:03 am

  It is the smoothest ride! We have owned Hondas for years and this year I think they have just put the icing on the cake as far as a luxury car is concerned. The radio even sounds great! i cant wait to get in my car and go somewhere. Sometimes I just get in the car and drive with no destination in mind.

  Loooove IT! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Patunia - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I love my 2005 Honda Accord. I had the 2003 2 door Accord V-6 and then the 2004 door Accord V-6 and loved driving them all...The price is affordable for the standard features found on the EX- V6 and the quality of my Accords has been great!! With a few added extras (tinted windows etc) it is really a sharp car and is always fun to drive...

  Is it wrong to love a car? - 2004 Honda Accord
  By chiquita5000 - January 16 - 2:00 am

  Favoritism aside, Ive gotten compliments on the roomy backseat even though its a 2-door. Its sturdy on the road, at high speeds (hee hee), in the rain. Its a very safe, sporty car.

  Honda - Best vehicle Ive ever owned - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Brian - January 15 - 9:06 pm

  I bought my Accord used with 83,000 miles on it. Still with that mileage, it drives and is rattle free like it was brand new. the car now has 94000 miles on it and other than oil changes, Ive done nothing to it, unlike my 1994 Thunderbird that I had before it. Ive owned many cars over the years and have always found the Japanese cars to be better built and extremely reliable compared to any "American" car Ive owned. I dont think Ill go back to an American name plate again.

  As Good As They Say! - 2002 Honda Accord
  By Honda Guy - January 15 - 9:48 am

  This is my 3rd Honda (2nd Accord). I havent had any major problems with this car at all. The drivetrain has been perfect. Only routine maintenance and at 72,000 miles, she still runs like a champ. Oddly enough, the fuel mileage has gotten better with age. The I-4 motor has plenty of power. The ride is still smooth. I can see keeping this car for another 100,000 miles before I even consider selling it for another Honda.

  Good Car but Bad Dealer - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Joker - January 15 - 8:16 am

  I bought a Certified Used Car 2000 Honda Accord EX V6. Some problems that I have is The windshield glass were cracked, part of the seats were falling apart and I did fixed it by myself, the clocks LED were burnt out (they changed it), promised to give me Carfax but nothing they gave me, no master keys (only valet key), the rear bulb brake light wasnt installed correctly, the side airbags light comes up suddenly, and now the Maintennance Required light comes up. Other than that is fine. Very comfy, powerful but quiet and smooth, stylish, roomy interior, huge legroom, and many more. The bad thing is just the pedals needs to be adjusted and loosen up a little bit, now its too sti

  loyal to honda forever - 1999 Honda Accord
  By Gaile - January 14 - 2:00 am

  This is my second NEW Honda (my first was a 97 accord) and I am trading it in for my third new Honda this month. I have had NO mechanical problems with it in 72,000 miles. Everything inside the car MAKES SENSE for the driver and the passengers. I never had to worry about whether or not my car would start, or whether I had the power to pass a slow truck on a two-lane mountain road. In fact, my first Honda was nicknamed Balto by my kids - after the incredibly loyal and reliable sled dog from the legend. Bottom line, I LOVE this car, and you will too!

  Love the new accord! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Flash31 - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I did a lot of research before finally deciding on the Accord. I compared the Accord to just about every car in its class and price range (Camry, Altima, RSX, etc.) The Accord gave me the best bang for the bucks! With standard ABS, and a 5spd auto tranny! Ive had the Accord for about 2 months now, I have to say, Im very pleased with the car. The car gives me very decent performance (for a 4 banger). The interior is very roomy, and ride quality is excellent. The engine sounds very smooth, and acceleration is more than enough for regular use. Gas mileage is very good 23mpg(city) / 30mpg(hwy).

  One of the best values around - 2003 Honda Accord
  By ElKubo - January 14 - 2:00 am

  Have only had the car for 4 months. The mpg surprised me from the gitgo. The car delivers good power, although the low end torque is nothing to brag about. I found the ride to be a bit bumpier than expected, but that is what gives it the good handling.

  An Acura Rl at Half the Price - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Howard - January 12 - 2:30 pm

  This is an awsome car! In reality it is an Acura RL in 2 wheel drive instead of 4 wheel in the Acura RL at half the price. The performance is incredible! With 268 hp it should be. Gas mileage is great for a vehicle with this type of performance. The looks are georgeous. It has 5 star ratings in front crash, side crash and roll over. Plenty of room for 5 inside. There is no better car for the money IMHO
