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.

  First Honda, Last Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Sorry for buying - April 2 - 10:13 pm

  After 16 years in a Camry I somehow purchased this Accord?? Ive had it for a year and a half - feels like a hundred. Gas mileage is not as advertised - 25 mpg at most. A lot of road and tire noise on expressway. Sound system is poor - especially on expressway. Front end scrapes on inclines. Rattles in dash. The stiff ride accentuates every bump in the road. I feel jostled around and worn out after a short 200 mile trip. The driver-side seat is not comfortable.

  Weve owned this vehicle for 10 years and have had zero mechanical problems. Incredible reliability and it still runs nicely with 165,000 miles on it.

  17 years and still going well. - 1990 Honda Accord
  By Gerry - March 29 - 11:46 am

  I purchased this 90 Accord LX after reading Consumers Report and I am my sooo glad I did. Its the most reliable car I have ever experienced. Always ready to go hot or cold freezing weather. I always feel safe and very comfortable in the driver seat as well as other seats when my wife would drive it. I would do the required schedule maintenance which was quite reasonable and never a surprise. I said I would keep it until it dies. It refuses to die so Ill just sell it and give some one else a go with it and get a new 08 Accord this fall. The last few years all Ive paid for are gas, oil change and insurance. Sad goodbye!

  I have a 12 year old Honda Accord in addition to the 04. The 04 has more room and more fun to drive. I traded a Camry in on the 04 and have been impressed with the new Honda.

  Great car. Far exceeded my expectations both in performance, quietness of ride, smoothness and asthetic appearance. The gas mileage is unbelievable. I can go over 400 miles on a single tank.

  1st timer - 2004 Honda Accord
  By johnny7778887 - March 29 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the Honda accord for 3 weeks now and Im very impressed with the comfort, handling, quietness, and acceleration of the v-6. The interior is roomy and the wood accents are nice with the beige leather interior. Overall, still a great car for the price with excellent residual value and fun to drive.

  Bought Accord and Civic - 2004 Honda Accord
  By RTH - March 29 - 10:00 am

  Bought the Accord EX-V6 after many months of research and test driving imports and domestics. Nothing else on the market comes close in this price range -- perhaps even in higher ranges -- in terms of quality, reliability, resale, attractiveness, features, handling, and performance. Also bought a Civic EX from the same dealer about 2 weeks later.

  This car sold me! - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Bonnie - March 28 - 9:14 pm

  We bought this car used with 16,000 miles for my husband to commute with. Now has 128,000, runs like the day we purchased. We only replaced the drivers side window motor and NOTHING else! This has been a great car worth every penny. I was driving a 2000 Volvo V70 that was a nightmare. Finally after beaucoup repairs and $$$ we agreed it had to go. My husband was stunned when I said that I wanted a Honda. Mine being the family truckster we purchased an 06 Pilot and Blows that Volvo away. Thank God its gone! Im sure his Accord will probably stay in the family and end up being my daughters first car. We are very, very pleased with both our Accord and Pilot.
