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.

  Hondas Worst Disappointment - 1991 Honda Accord
  By Esoterica - June 23 - 3:25 pm

  I can not express how much trouble this car was for me. Having been a dedicated Honda owner of all types I never imagined them creating a lemon. Granted I had bought it used but that was never a problem before. From overheating to a faulty ignition and distributor problems it was the least dependable car Ive ever owned.(I thought Chrysler products were bad about leaving you stranded on the side of the road. There is an obvious reason Honda only manufactured this style for 3 years. I almost paid extra money for the Acura version. Probably should have. I ended up selling it at a major loss just to get it out of my driveway.

  96 Honda - 1996 Honda Accord
  By 96 honda - June 22 - 10:00 pm

  I purchased my Honda in Aug 1995. I have close to 186,000 miles. It has been a reliable vehicle, but of course now that it has more miles on it, it is starting to cost a pretty penny for repairs. I had problems with the power windows and locks after about 5 years of ownership. Ive had more problems in the past 2 years with the high mileage. Ive replaced the radiator, axles, oxygen sensor and a list of other things. My paint has worn and I was told that it is a paint defect. I know other people with the green car with the same problem. I cant complain because Ive had the car for almost 12 years with no major problems.

  I Love My Car - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Richard J - June 22 - 9:00 pm

  I love my car, it has it all. V6, leather, heated seats. The navigation is the best, voice command. Plus 240 hp. I have absolutely no complaints except that it would be neat if the doors unlocked when you opened them while locked, but other than that I love my car.

  Stepped up Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By honda lover - June 22 - 12:26 pm

  I love this new Honda. The larger body style is very roomy inside. The outside redesign is very slick. This car is everything every Honda lover wants plus more. The stepped power of the 4cylinder gives the car the smoothness of a v6 drive. Highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a great value car that will last a lifetime.

  Excellent Quality - 2002 Honda Accord
  By ChoseHondaOvrAcura - June 22 - 10:00 am

  I test drove the Acura TSX and the Acura TL before chosing this Accord with 21K miles. The TSX was a bit small and did not accelerate as smoothly as the V6 Accord. The TL is wonderful but a bit pricey and uses premium fuel. I chose the Accord with 200 HP & leather interior so I have an affordable luxury car with only 60 horses less than the TL. In average driving I wont miss the 60 HP. I considered buying a new Accord but the 02 had one owner will all the service records and price was perfect. Im considering putting 17in wheels on it to replace the 15in that came with it.

  Excellent Car - 2005 Honda Accord
  By RWP - June 21 - 7:29 am

  Purchased in March of 2005, car has been reliable and fun to drive 80 miles each day for work. Gas mileage has been pretty good although the AC does zap mileage more than any other car Ive had. Seats are comfortable for short and long drives. Those reviewers who state otherwise havent adjusted the seats correctly. Back seat leg room is very good for the size of the car.

  all things considered...the best - 2005 Honda Accord
  By mitch - June 20 - 5:10 am

  Replacing a 2003 A4. I looked at the Mazda 3 with nav, and the Mazda 6. I also looked at another A4. This car car an exquisite ride, and excellent on center feel for the steering, although a little too much lean, and too many minute corrections required on sweeping turns (compared to the Audi). The dash is simply the best looking I have seen, the leather is nice and soft. You cant lower the seats as much as I would have liked. The stereo is quite good until you get past half of max volume, and then there is distortion. They missed the boat on exterior styling, but if you add a rear lip spoiler, it helps a lot. I will also add at least 17" wheels. All together an impressive car.

  Best Car Ever - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Fox Mulder - June 20 - 1:00 am

  Truly is the best car you can get for the money. I have sport trim with sensing. It has enough power, great amount of space, enough technology, good looks, and most importantly great driving dynamics. It hugs the road. Ride is smooth but not floaty, a bit on stiffer side which is expected with sport trim having 19" wheels. The suspension is very good, sticks to the road like glue and absorb bump pretty well. I am getting 35 mpg on highway. Also love the led tail lights, led running lights and duel exhaust pipes. It has a sporty hum from tailpipes. The steering feedback is good, although it could be more tighter as per my taste. But for daily driving its easier, so its good. Overall I am happy with the car. It reminds me of my Acura TL I used to have few years back.
