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.

  The best Honda Ever - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Heidar - June 15 - 10:00 am

  This car is totally different with previous version (I owned a 2002 accord coupe). Mine has lots of power and feels like a German car. I enjoy driving it everywhere. I always bought Honda because of the market value but this time I think I made a good choice.

  Brake noise - high pitched squeal. Rattle of the back panel by the rear speakers against the rear window. Road Noise.

  Still Happy! - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Stacie - June 14 - 12:07 pm

  This was my first new car purchase and it remains a great decision. I purchased this car due to the distance I would be traveling to college and have always felt safe, had great reliability, and continue to get great gas mileage. With basic maintenance and the purchase of new tires, my Value Package Honda has lived up to every expectation. Ill be purchasing a new vehicle soon, but a family member has already asked to buy my 1997 Honda because of how great it is!!

  Style great but poor quality - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Fran - June 14 - 5:16 am

  Love the styling and handling of my Accord but the road noise is certainly more than the Toyota Camry is used to own. The biggest problem with this car is the brakes. At 18,500 miles I had to replace the rear brakes (half my miles are long distance so this should not have happened). Turns out in 2008 Honda went to a smaller rear brake system and therefore they wear out sooner. I complained to Honda of America and they refunded 50% of my brake replacement cost. They also asked for the old brake pads back to check the problem.

  Over a doz. years of low maintenance and low cost driving. Very few problems at all. Was repainted several yrs. ago. Ride getting a bit bumpy but still a good over-all maneuverable car with body style still similar to current models.

  2008 Honda Accord LX - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Greatcare - June 11 - 9:20 am

  I have owned this car for only a few days. Had a 1999 Honda Accord LX that got totaled so needed a new car. What a great car. So roomy on the inside, nice size trunk and great Honda quality that we all come to expect. I am very pleased with this car and purchased it over Nissan Altima and Hyundai Sonata. The base model has all the features one could want at a minimum in the car, keyless entry, daytime running lights, 6 airbags, power windows/door locks, steering wheel controls for cruise control and audio system. Also the automatic maintanence reminder is a great plus for this car.

  Finally decided on the Honda!! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By BigBlue - June 9 - 2:00 am

  I spent the last few months reading Edmunds, CRs and other mags to help me decide which new car to go with. I test drove the Mazda 6, Accord, Altima (v6), Maxima, Highlander, and the Acura TSX. I really wanted the Mazda 6 - However, the "rust" issue scared me away. Came down to the Accord vs the Altima - basically I could get either one for the same monthly payment. I went with the Accord since it was more "practical". I just bought it 4 days ago and Im very happy with my decission!! I love the inside fit and finish of the Accord. It actually looks and feels a lot like the TSX. But, you get a V6 and more room with the Accord!! Im very happy with my decission.
