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.

  Best overall car - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Kingenos - January 7 - 2:00 am

  We are very pleased with our new Accord. My wife never liked Hondas until she got behind the wheel of this one. Now she wont give it up.

  Very respectable car.... - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Steve-n-Beantown - January 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned my 1997 Honda Accord SE since 2/02. I drive about 20k mi/yr. Its a good ride, but the very annoying, creeky suspension in the winter (which is a known problem-refer to Hondas service bulletins) drives me mad! Also, for as long as Ive owned it, whenever I hit a pothole, I think the car will break apart...Dealership says thats "just the way the car rides..." The only major work done to this point has been the exhaust...The car is still on the original brakes! Ill be replacing them soon, but its remarkable that theyve gone this far! The seats sit a bit low for my taste, but its comfortable....In the Summer, the car cleans up nice.

  Spacious interior design, quiet ride - 1999 Honda Accord
  By runewell - January 7 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. I tested several cars and this one had a very open and relaxed feel, while other cars seem to have the driver "boxed in". The 4-cyl is a fairly quite engine. My only complaints is that my gas mileage so far has been 21/27 and the specs (which may be merely an average) I recall as 23/30. But I havent taken any serious road trips yet, so maybe its better on the highway. The dealership Poquet Auto was great. No haggle-pricing, speciailizing in cars coming off leases - just the amount of depreciation we wanted on our vehicle. The cars paint job was meticulously touched up and we got new tires & brakes.

  Just Okay - 2009 Honda Accord
  By Ghary - January 6 - 4:20 am

  The car is very pretty but dont let the looks fool you. I only have 800 miles on the car and so far its been a bad experience. I never bought a Honda before and I am disappointed in every way. After hearing all the great reviews from everyone I had to try. The car rattles on medium radio volume (about talking level, I dont like loud music). No brand new car should rattle. The audio quality is horrible. Poor, not as expected gas mileage (16 mpg with mixed highway/city driving). The windows constantly fog up and rear defroster doesnt work. Theres also a lot of road noise! I should have spent the extra money to get something else.

  Cats wont eat it. - 2013 Honda Accord
  By Doug Burkhart - January 4 - 5:17 pm

  It is a very good car overall. The last car I had was a 2004 EX V6 which I thought was an excellent car. This car has more tech and safety features but less luxury features. Also, the drivers seat is too soft for me. Ive had more problems with this car in 3+ years than my last one in 8+ years.

  setting the bar higher - 2003 Honda Accord
  By maronti - January 1 - 10:00 am

  Overall, this is a great car for the money. The interior leather seats are awesome!!! The overall finishing and handling makes it a pleasure to go somewhere and be seen in this car. My last car was a Camry, no comparison.
