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.

  Satin Silver EX V6 6speed Manual - 2003 Honda Accord
  By repeatcustomer - November 1 - 2:00 am

  This car is a thrill to drive, its hard to get out of it. Honda builds great cars and backs them up with exceptional service. After driving my car nonstop for 3 months I finally stopped long enough to take it in to complain about a nick in the dash, a bubble in the clear coat of the rear spoiler, and discoloration in the plastic in rear seat. All of these defects were minor and couldve easily been caused by me. I went to dealer expecting a fight because I had waited so long to complain. They replaced all 3 pieces no questions asked....and gave me a loaner!

  Forget about IS300/350Z/G35!!! Get theV6 - 2003 Honda Accord
  By XXShawnXX - November 1 - 2:00 am

  I have read 300+ reviews on this car, in addition to the countless reviews on the cars I have listed in the title of my review. This car is one of the most reliable, fastest, stylish, comfortable, cost-efficient, and ALL AROUND fun car to drive among its peers. Sure, there is no such thing as a perfect car for less than $25k, and you should take that into consideration, but the V6 Accord comes in #1 in my book. Honda exceeded expectations with this Euro-type luxury car for half the price!!! Go get one.

  Not Your Fathers Honda! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By hitobito - October 31 - 8:16 pm

  I have nearly 600 miles on my 2006 HAH with Nav and its been very impressive. I averaged 31.4 MPG on a 275 mi. R/T and the vehicle performance was astonishing. The ride quality was very good, acceleration was surprisingly excellent and the Navigational system was intuitive, very useful and user friendly. Honda should have included an iPod interface and passenger side automatically adjustable seat with lumbar support. The "fit and finish" of this vehicle was flawless.This is definitely a car to enjoy and feel good about!

  Switched from BMW to Honda Accord - 2013 Honda Accord
  By inbaskingridge - October 31 - 4:53 pm

  My lease was up on my 2010 BMW 328i x-drive (AWD) and I decided to get off the lease treadmill and buy...in this case a 2013 Accord EX-L with navigation. Overall, I am very happy with the switch. This is the first Honda Ive owned. Build quality is excellent, road noise is probably less than my BMW.

  Delivers on your expectations - 2009 Honda Accord
  By cruisinonblues - October 31 - 12:50 pm

  This is the first Honda I have owned. For the past 6 years I have driven a BMW 3xi series with all wheel drive. I wanted to get a coupe without breaking the bank. I looked at the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. I decided on the Honda Accord V6 Coupe and am extremely satisfied. The car delivers on all aspects of driving a coupeÂ… styling, handling, performance and fun. It drives great and has a nice interior. I like that it has V6 power when I need it and that the engine adjusts down to 4 or 3 cylinders when the V6 is not needed. It also runs on regular gas which is an added savings. Overall, it has delivered on all my expectations.

  Decent car but not impressive - 2005 Honda Accord
  By JF - October 31 - 12:40 pm

  Bought the car on December, 2004. The ride was very comfortable. I like the design of the car for a great price. Gas mileage is ok, definitely cannot go up to 26 mi/gal city for a 5-speed manual as advertised. Ive been getting 20 mi/gal in the city for my Accord. The engine is quiet, but the i am not sure if the squeeking noice comes from the dashboard or the windsheild. I am kinda bordered by the noice while I am driving. Handling is ok, but not as good as the previous version. The interior is very roomy. Feel good while I am sitting in it. Overall, the car is ok, but not impressive. But for this price, this is what I am getting I guess. Otherwise, why not go for a lexus.

  Cant be beat! - 1999 Honda Accord
  By bytrain - October 31 - 10:00 am

  Wonderful car. This was our 3rd Accord, and we have been very happy with it. The interior ergonomics are so much better than any American car on the market. It handles beautifully, and being a one-car family, its reliability has given us lots of peace of mind. I highly recommend this car.

  never dies - 1994 Honda Accord
  By UberRealiable - October 31 - 3:21 am

  Bought car with 204k. All parts seemed to be original, except radiator and timing belt. Car now has 220k on it and has been treated to a new clutch slave master cylinder to keep the pollution low in the driveway. New muffler at 215k replaced honda factory equipment. I know of at least 10 I have seen from this year which have exceeded 200k. Heard of a guy with over a million on his 94. Overall I am very impressed with this car. Even with the little 4 cylinder engine, just as reliable as Ford Triton V-10

  Great Car - 1997 Honda Accord
  By Nelle - October 30 - 10:26 pm

  I have had this car for almost 5 yrs and it drives great! This is my 2nd Honda Accord and they really last. I may pruchase a 2003 shortly. This car is great for a person with a child and limited amount of funds to work with. Only problems I had was my radiator went-just wear and tear.
