  • Still the Benchmark - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my third Accord and they seem to get better with each new model.Its hard to find manual transmission Accords these days, but I located an LX-P and jumped on it. The 5 speed is the best on the planet. Overall there are no surprises and everything works with precision.

  • Visibility when it rains - 2009 Honda Accord

    I have a problem...rain on the outside of the window and the mirror makes for a difficult time changing lanes. You cant see.

  • Ugh... - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was expecting this car to be quality. Hah I was so wrong. Obtrusive brake noise after 300 miles and the dealer said its part of the design. Actually a customer was right behind complaining about her brakes too. Seats felt like they were made from steel or something because my backside fell asleep every time I drove more then 30 miles. Dash was ugly and the only pleasant thing I can offer for this car was the design is not bad.

  • Poor seat design - 2009 Honda Accord

    Ive driven the car for 2.5K mile and is still searching for a comfortable seating position. This never happen in any cars Ive own before. I wont buy Honda anymore no matter how reliable it is.

  • This car saved my life! - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    I was struck on my drivers side by a drunk driver going 50mph three weeks ago and I emerged without a scratch! This car is built like a tank (she was driving a Volvo). I LOVE this car and have thoroughly enjoyed it for the last 18 months. Its very eye-catching -- I catch people staring into it when its parked and theyre always shocked to learn its an accord (I bought the red -- so pretty). Yes, Im really this shallow... The ONLY thing I would suggest changing is the controls for the heat. Its hard for me to reach the heater control without having to lean way over. But, thats virtually the ONLY thing I would change.

  • For what its worth, its a great car - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    After owning a VW Jetta for the past 5 years I looked at a number of cars in the same price range and found the ride quality, build, and features of the Honda Accord the best value for money that I could find. For a mid-sized sedan, the Accord feels larger than any other car I had looked at in its price range and has a high quality build finish comparable to BMW. For real world use, the car performs well on any road, with study handling. I like the look and feel of the interior, but like other reviewers have found that it is easy to scratch & the controls do take a little getting used to; especially if youve not driven a Honda rec. There is plenty of room and storage areas throughout.

  • Better than a BMW 2006 330xi - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    I finally got out of my troublesome 2006 BMW 330x1. Was a $50,000 car that cannot compare to my now 2009 Honda 6 cylinder coupe. So far, I love the Honda. It is fast and rides much much better. I tried out the 2009 Lexus I250 and the 2008 Infiniti 35x. I could not justify spending $10,000 more for the Lexus or Infiniti when I get a car of the same quality for less!

  • Headrests Very Uncomfortable! - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    Im having the hardest time with these seats. The leather is not soft at all, the seats dont warm up that much, but MOST OF ALL.....the headrests lean tooooo much forward!! I feel so uncomfortable riding in it. I had to pull them all the way up so I could sit back comfortable.

  • It looks good, but thats it - 2009 Honda Accord
    By -

    I bought this car back in March and got a heck of a deal, but I have been very disappointed by the quality, noise, and most of all the VCM technology. This car looks awesome from the outside and has decent interior, but Honda needs to go back to a simple engine and have a 6 speed automatic for fuel economy. The VCM is constantly hunting and car jerks when its coming to a stop. The automatic transmission cant keep up with a sporty drive and the handling is to tight for my taste. I was sold on looks and should have gotten into a more solid all around car.
