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.

Reviewer from Pennsylvania - 2004 Honda Accord
By Obsessed Car Buyer - September 28 - 10:00 amI just cannot stop driving this car. I looked carefully at Infiniti G-35, Subaru Legecy Ltd. 2005, Acura TL, and BMW 330 and decided to buy the Accord and do not regret it. At $23,000+ and 4.25% for sixty months, I got a lot of car for my money. The V6 is powerful and acceleration is effortless. The interior feels like entry-level luxeries at 30K+. There was a small scratch on the body and a faded spot on the glovebox door that the dealership took care of them very efficiently. As far as reliability is concerned, the jury is still out there. This is my first Honda so I cannot say much in that area but Others who have had Accords for years are very reassuring.

It sure beats my 90 Olds! - 2004 Honda Accord
By mandy_at_unl - September 28 - 10:00 amWith the driver seat and steering wheel adjustment options, it is easy to find a perfect fit for any driver. The only drawback is if another driver adjusts the positions of the seat and the steering wheel, it is hard to find that same perfect feel without a lot of trial and error. One of the options that I never thought I cared about was the ability to put the windows down from the keyless remote, yet I use this all the time when it is hot out. I love it, but the downside is that you have to start the car to put the windows back up. Two months after I purchased the Accord the sunglasses holder would not stay up, but the warranty process was extremely easy and they had it fixed in no time

The Ultimate driving machine - 1997 Honda Accord
By Kaio - September 26 - 2:17 pmI have owned this Accord for 7 years and I loved it so much that when I needed another car, I bought the exact same one brand new (Accord SE). It has given me absolutely no trouble at all and looks and drives like brand new. I still have the original rear brakes. I have replaced the front brakes once. 2 sets of tyres, a muffler and an expensive 105K mile service ($1000) which included air-conditioner and timing belt. Other than that it is oil change. On top of that it is soooo fun to drive. I wonder why people buy any other car.

Get Honda get reliability - 1997 Honda Accord
By askhan65 - September 25 - 11:13 amHi This Honda is my Second Honda CAR. I had a 1988 Handa Accord and because of the nice experience, I got the secong Honda. Since I have bought it, I have enjoyed driving it. It never gave me any problems, very reliable and had a pleasure drive. Plenty of space in the trunk, in fact it amazed my LEXUS driving friend.

Come-up - 2002 Honda Accord
By dannie254 - September 25 - 2:00 amIm totally in love with this car. Perhaps it is because Im making a come- up from a 1999 Hyundai Elantra. After replacing the transmission 7 times - yes 7 - reliability was at the top of my list of priorities. The dealership, Sussman Honda in Philadelphia, treated me well and I got a great deal. I went into the dealership ready to buy a Civic. When I saw this car, I fell in love. Not only was it an emotional buy, but it was a smart buy too! I plan to keep this one until it falls apart, but I have a newfound loyalty to Honda now.

The best that I could have bought! - 2005 Honda Accord
By Kyle Fortson - September 23 - 6:30 amI have no complaints whatsoever about the vehicle. I have an 88 Accord LX, with only 122,000 original miles on it, and everything works. The only reason that I bought the new one was because I could not see putting the money into the old one for new tires, rims, etc. to spruce it up. So, I bought my 05, and I am ecstatic. The engine performance is amazing. I only wish the mileage was better, but then I am using the 88 (4 cylinder and 5-speed) as my yardstick.

Livable - 2015 Honda Accord
By James C - September 23 - 5:32 amI purchased this car 7 months ago in the summer. When I first purchased it I thought it would be a dream to drive. I did not even test drive it because I had gotten a loaner car from the service center some months ago and found it to be a great car. Here are the things I did not notice. First off, the CVT. On paper, its great (fuel economy and good performance). I have grown used to it and I barely notice it anymore. However, if the temperature is below 40 degrees (which it frequently is in CT during the winter) you will notice immediately that it sounds as if you are driving a lawn mower. To get any reasonable amount of movement the transmission and the engine work together to make it almost impossible to get to thirty mph in a reasonable amount of time. You will find yourself going to 4000 rpm just to move from a stop. Luckily for me that stops after the engine warms up a bit. And another thing about the transmission. If you need power fast, for whatever emergency purpose the engine gets confused. When you floor it, you will feel acceleration and hear the engine, but about 4 second later the transmission changes its mind about something and you feel a powerful jolt of power. The interior is nicely made and pleasant. The bluetooth audio feature and pandora feature are amazing. I have an iPhone 5s and the car cant seem to use the text message feature with my phone for whatever reason. The FM/AM radio sucks. You could be in the center of NYC and be getting a static signal. The speakers and sound system overall is good when you use bluetooth audio or AUX. You can tell that it struggles when you raise the volume however. Road noise. Goodness, sometimes I check my mirrors to see if a freight train is coming around the corner because of the obnoxious noises I can hear from the inside of the car on the highway. One good thing I will acknowledge is highway control. In windy conditions or rainy whatever it may be, you will never get blown around. The car will stay planted. Fuel mileage. I was originally amazing at the MPG I got when I first got the car, 40MPG on the highway back from the dealer. Then I got home. I live in the winding, hilly dangerous roads of southwestern CT. When this car sees a hill, you can kiss your MPG away. I average 22 Mpg around my town. I am not a particularly fast driver either. The car will get you up that hill (and with speed if youd like) but Ive seen an MPG rating of 33 on the highway flip to 13 as I come into my town. Use this car on a flat surface. Snow driving. I will admit, I like to have fun in the snow with my cars but this car doesnt. A rear wheel drive car will eat up corners in the snow but this car just says no and stays planted. No matter how hard you throw it into the corner at any speed (within reason) with any amount of snow on the ground, the tires keep pulling you to safety. Heartbreaking, but I suppose necessary. Today I was forced to drive home from work in a blizzard with four inches of snow on untreated roads. At first I panicked, but the car got me home safely. I even stopped for milk. Speaking of traction, there are some circumstances where I will be surprised the car cant seem to get traction. From a stop making a sharp left turn in the rain, I can find sometimes that a wheel will spin and traction control will engage. Speaking of traction control, the car makes a noise when you start to drive. So imagine, you start the car and drive away and then when you reach 10 mph you hear a "DUNGGGG" under the car. No idea what it is, no lose in power. No error lights...nothing. Then winter came and I was trying to spin the car out in a parking lot and I noticed that when the traction control comes on it makes that same noise continuously till the traction control is no longer needed. A continuous "DUNNGGGGGGGGGG". The last problem Ive found is in the headlights. They are pretty bright for a Honda, gotta be honest. A sisters 2009 CR-V had the worst headlights ever and I was worried I would be cursed with blindness while driving at night like her. I was idling in a parking lot waiting for my friend in the grocery store one summer night and I noticed every time the compressor for the air conditioning came on the lights would dim slightly and then get brighter. At first I figured, "well that couldnt be an actual problem, a compressor uses a lot of energy probably". Then in the winter when the compressor wasnt coming on and it kept happening I started to get angry. I looked at the brake lights as it idled and even those dim with the headlights at random intervals. I dont know if this was designed this way by Honda or if the headlights are just simply using so much power that it taxes the alternator too much. Im not sure what it is but it is infuriating. Im looking into getting the touring LED headlights installed simply because of how much it irritates me. Uncomfortable seats, cant get comfortable. I cant see half the speedometer most of the time.

Way better Than NISSAN - 2016 Honda Accord

Great Car - 1998 Honda Accord
By jenni - September 21 - 8:21 pmBought this car new and have been very pleased. It still looks great. Has only needed normal, routine maintenance until recently. Replaced cat converter at 100K miles and now need new struts at 101K. The only other frustrating mechanical problem is that one rear door no longer opens, and it will cost a lot to tear out the door panel to fix. Other than that, I would highly recommend purchasing this car!

Dependable and easy - 2011 Honda Accord
By stephen villa - September 21 - 10:21 amI bought this used as it was my first Honda and I wanted to see if I liked it. I love it. My car insurance premium went down significantly and its very dependable. Maintenance has been as scheduled with no surprises. Fuel mileage is good, but I do wish is was better. Now that Ive had it for a few years, I know Ill replace it with a higher end Accord. I love the coupe and will keep the same style.
