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.

  Oil Leaks, Transmission Failures - 2000 Honda Accord
  By BobK - July 21 - 2:00 am

  At just over 100,000 miles the torque converter seal failed ($600.00), and now 4,000 miles later the transmission is sending fault code P0780 (Shift Malfunction), cost and cause as yet undetermined. 2000 Accord has 177 service bulletins issued, my 1994 Accord only has 66 service bulletins issued. I think the quality/reliability of the Honda Accord has slipped considerably over the years. I do not recommend buying another one.

  Most wonderful car Ive ever had. - 2004 Honda Accord
  By linda - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I got the car 3/03 and it is absolutely perfect. The dealer was great, I got no bad surprises. It is beautiful, peppy, comfortable, did I mention beautiful? And reliable? I love it so much -- and so does everyone who sees it or rides in it.

  My Best Honda Ever! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By sergio tovar - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I have owned many Hondas in my lifetime and this one takes the cake. I love this car without a doubt. Its fun to drive, comfortable, and most of all its affordable. The 6cyl is far more superior than the 4cyl I test drove. The leather interior is superb. I especially like the heated seats, XM radio, and all the new features in this new accord. I purchased this vehicle because HONDA cars are so reliable and these options and extras and a bonus for me.

  Pretty, Peppy but Too Techy - 2018 Honda Accord
  By m.j. gosdeck - July 20 - 9:53 am

  It sits low on the passenger side but weve had worse with KIA several years ago. At least you can see out of the entire window . A short person like me has good visibility and feels comfortable even with the low slung look. Like Hondas weve had before, it has a lot of pep, as though it wants to take off if only youd let it. It isnt quiet compared to Toyota, Hyundai or KIA even with the white noise adjustment. I looked everywhere to find how you know if it is on. Only the service tech could find it. I look at the manual a lot. In other words it has too much tech stuff for us that young and younger people like to play with but well never use. But then it is aimed at persuading the younger driver to switch from an SUV. We looked at Toyota too but liked the Hondas styling better.Ours is pretty to look at (red) and people have come up and asked about it. One day I found forehead prints all over the windows. Hope they werent planning to steal it.

  John Do Couto Review - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Honda Accord - July 20 - 2:23 am

  The 2008 Honda Accord LX is a great car. Fun to drive, economic, very comfortable, and excellent on the highway. This Honda must be the no 1 car in the USA.

  Stick with what works - 2002 Honda Accord
  By Jay - July 18 - 11:36 pm

  Just purchased our second accord after our 91 DX had to be put to rest due to my conscious of not running over a cat. It was just shy of the 200k mark and would have gone way past that if not for the recent mishap. Although I have only 50 miles on the new accord LX V6 it already shows signs of a vehicle that will last us another 10 years. For the price you cant go wrong with this vehicle. For the price, go with the Accord.

  Awesome Car - 1999 Honda Accord
  By Dan - July 18 - 6:42 am

  Ive put 3000 miles on my 99 Accord ex 5 speed. Ive filled it up probably 5 times. Gets great gas mileage. I usually take first gear all the way to 6K RPM, and I still get around 25 MPG in the city. If your planning on buying an Accord, go with the 5 speed manual. A manual is so much more fun to drive. Car is pretty quick off the line too for a 4 cylinder. The only problem Im having right now is the timing belt. I hear a constant ticking in my engine. No major problems though. Trunk is the biggest Ive ever seen. This car was def worth the MSRP of $23000 back in 99. Hondas last forever
