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.

  Not Too Shabby But Very Vanilla Car - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Woodbyrne - July 13 - 8:31 am

  Pretty decent car in terms of reliability. I now have 133k miles on it and have experienced the following problems since owning it: needed new exhaust system and radiator. These are normal wear and tear items. Engine is perfect. Problem now is that its starting to get annoying old car problems. Sun roof began to leak so I just sealed it and took out the motor. Weird rattling noise under the car. Windows were always slow but now I have to push the passenger window up when closing it or it wont move. Once in a while the car will just turn off while you are driving. Car is too old now to dump cash in. And I wont get any $$ for a trade-in. Just going to drive it until it dies.

  Excellent Value!! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Gordon - July 13 - 6:46 am

  Ive only had it for a few weeks, but I am very impressed with it. I am rating reliability and fuel economy of 9 only based on Hondas reputation. I havent gotten to really test the fuel economy. Sure it wont perform like a sports car, but compared to its main competitor, the 06 camry, it blows it away in terms of style, standard features, and performance/handling. This is definitely a lot more fun to drive than the camry. The engine is quiet and the cabin is well insulated for noise. Build quality is superb, the controls feel very solid and the doors make a very satisfying whack when you close them. :) The seats are comfortable and provide solid support. I paid 18,926! Excellent value!!!

  I bought a 90 Accord EX Sedan from a private party. This has to be the most dependable car I have ever owned! It has 210,000 miles and runs like its brand new. I use this car in a 140 mile daily commute and I trust it 110%!

  Brakes at 21K??? Cmon!! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ConnecticutJoe - July 11 - 11:20 pm

  I have had my Accord for almost 18 months. I have had no problems to speak of and the 4 cyl is incredible for a 4 cyl. My only complaint is I had to get brakes at 21,000 miles. Honda service said this was normal and because my town is pretty hilly I believed them. But after reading here, Im a little ticked off. Honda definitely needs to do something as people who read these reviews might rule these cars out in their purchasing decision.

  Good Car so Far - 2007 Honda Accord
  By nycarguy - July 11 - 7:13 pm

  Car rides tightly, smoothly, great on winding roads. Good engine power, AT transmission a bit abrupt at stop and go slower speeds trying to find comfortable gearing. Great rear seat room!

  08 Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By RHJ - July 10 - 8:43 pm

  This is the first Accord that I have owned. I currently have not had any problems other than the vibration in the steering wheel at 60-70mph. i did not notice it until I was on a smooth road. Lucas was able to duplicate but not isolate the problem. Honda suggested to put 3k miles and bring it back. The vibration is still present. I only wish my wife would let me drive it more often
