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.

  The sporty/luxury LX V6 Coupe - 2003 Honda Accord
  By MMay - June 4 - 10:00 am

  The Accord 2-Dr LX V6 has 240-hp of responsive power, allowing it to leap from the stop position and outrace many of the cars on the road. The interior comfortably fits three of my friends, has a great console and factory installed stereo system, and the telescoping steering wheel is a bonus. Interior is A+ I gave the vehicle a 8/10 in exterior design. While it has smooth curves and tight panel spacing, I think something could be done with the rear end of the vehicle to make it look more aggressive. Also, when is Honda going to make more accessories available for Accords?

  By ccfpoe - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Honda has done a fatastic job in 2003 Accord. I like the suspension, handling, engine, transmission, interior, exterior design, the material they used. Even the signal light switch was so nice and comfortable. It just amazing, amazing, amazing.

  Love My Honda But Mileage is Horrific! - 2007 Honda Accord
  By HondaOwner07 - June 2 - 9:46 am

  I just purchased the 2007 Honda Accord 4 cylinder VP. I had it for two days when the AC delay needed to be replaced. Which was no big deal, but the gas mileage is absolutely horrible. Ive been getting about 18- 21 MPG. Get this, I travel 85% highway. Im very disappointed in the mileage. I thought for sure I would at least get 28-31MPG or more since I drive mostly highway. Other than that, great car! I would recommend the car, but make sure you are aware of the mileage.

  Honda Wins With This One! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Virginia - June 1 - 10:26 am

  The last Honda I owned, a 2000 Accord LX Coupe V-6, had some issues. So, I was a bit reluctant to buy another Honda. All I can say is "THANK YOU HONDA!" for restoring my faith in their products. My Accord has been a dream, from its excellent gas mileage to the outstanding sound system. And by the way. Yes, I am STILL happy.

  Unbeatable deal - 2002 Honda Accord
  By kelly - June 1 - 12:11 am

  I just bought the 2002 EX used. It is exactly like my 2001 I bought new in late 2000. It is my sixth Honda and will not be my last. As before, I am still amazed at the build quality, power, economy, layout, design and dependability of these cars. The 2002 looks almost brand new inside and out. The seats are still in excellent shape as well all other trim parts. I traded the 2001 in on an SUV because we needed a larger vehicle, but I am so glad to get back into an Accord. Compared to anything its still the best around. I love the way the fuel gauge doesnt move very much. Were planning on trading the SUV next year on a 2008 Accord.

  Very Cheap - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Real Customer - May 31 - 9:50 pm

  I have owned many Hondas including the V6 EX 2004. This 2008 V6 EX has a ton more road noise and the everything just feels so much cheaper. In addition, Im only getting 24 mpg on the highway. Overall Im disapointed.

  Honda lives up to its name - 2007 Honda Accord
  By Greg Nice - May 31 - 8:23 pm

  It has been a month and every day I love something new about this car. The build quality is outstanding and the Honda name is what I have been missing since dealing with Nissan. My Accord is amazing, the ride is smooth for a V6 and the acceleration will blow you away. I got a great lease price for 24 months on this car and I dont know if I want to give it back. I am paying under 265 month and I only put 1000 out of pocket, thats it, nothing else. I will never ever stray away from Honda to go for something else. This Accord is what a sedan should be made of.

  Fun to drive - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Mitch - May 28 - 11:36 pm

  I was impressed by the styling of this all new make over. It reminds me of a more expensive car. I recently sold my 90 Accord and was impressed by the standard features the base model Accord has. I like the tightness of the suspension and the reasonably quiet ride. The transmission is smooth also. While I only have 1,000 miles on it I would highly recommend it to my friends.
