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.

  06 Accord SE - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Ron - September 10 - 7:50 am

  Still a nice car which honda cars are famous for thats why I opted for this car. Unfortunately I have some quality built issues with my car like rattling noises coming from the trunk, clicking noises coming from the left rear passenger compartment probably which houses the side curtain head airbag. The glove compartment doesnt align properly, Gaps on the exterior panel, Steering overcrowning on the road. Kinda dissapointed with these for a brand new Honda Accord. Will take to the dealer and Ill see how the service department performs customer service.

  Grrrreat Car - 1997 Honda Accord
  By jdsharc - September 10 - 2:00 am

  This is my 3rd Honda (83 Civic wagon, 86 Accord) and Ive driven the stuff out of it. The only money Ive put into it has been a timing belt - required - and some A/C work - not Hondas strongest link. I have no complaints about this car. Can see the benefits of a 5-speed, though and its a blast to drive.

  Speed bumps - 2008 Honda Accord
  By cpacomp - September 10 - 12:10 am

  Got a great deal on the Honda Lease Very dissapointed in the ride. Each bump in the road seems like a speed bump. Front end shocks just not making it.

  Holy Wind Noise! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By Accordian - September 8 - 12:13 pm

  My fiancée just leased this car 1 week ago. The interior is very pleasant and accommodating. The 4 cylinder is not exhilarating, but adequate and smooth on the highway. However, on the highway, the wind noise inside the cabin is ridiculous! I am not exaggerating. I opened and closed the doors several times and open and closed all the windows because I assumed something must not be closed properly. NOPE. It is actually THAT LOUD. Completely unbelievable. My 2001 Hyundai Elantra is 10 times quieter in the cabin. The reliability etc is unmatched but unacceptable that Honda has overlooked thus obvious flaw.

  Good car few issues with head unit - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Viswanath Somanchi - September 8 - 11:50 am

  This is great comfortable car. Only issue is head unit got turned off and did not start back. Finally one fine day car battery is drained and I need to jump start the vehicle and the head unit is back to life. Head unit is dead for almost a week until car battery is drained and dealership could not diagnose the problem. Everything works well after the above mentioned issue and have driven more than 8500 miles and it is great reliable car. If we can spend some time and get the right seating position which makes you comfortable to drive for long hours we can easily drive 1000 miles a day on this car I have driven 935 miles in a day.

  Humble Excellence - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Trip - September 7 - 10:00 am

  Nothing comes close to its combination of performance, comfort, and value. Its deceptively quick, handles extremely well for a car of its size, is comfortable, and has luxurious appointments befitting cars costing much more. The interior design is particularly attractive and well laid out. The advanced technology in the car works transparently. The iVTEC engine is powerful and fuel efficient while earning low emissions ratings. Interior features like the speed sensitive wipers and dual climate controls work intuitively. Makes you wonder why other cars arent as slick. For all the gizmos and technology packed into the car, it works reliably, too.

  Honda Accord 2003 Consumer Review - 2003 Honda Accord
  By lfuentes - September 7 - 10:00 am

  I love my Honda. It is the first Honda that I owe, before I had a Camry 92. The only thing that caught me by surprise is the poor visibility. I guess I was used to the good visibility of my Camry that I have almost gotten into 2 wrecks because of the serious blind spots. Other than that I cant complain one bit...I love it.

  Thrilled after looking at them all - 2008 Honda Accord
  By OUTAMYWY - September 5 - 8:46 am

  Well, I own a 2008 Corvette so I really wanted to buy the new Malibu whose dash & controls are similar, but the new Accord is just fantastic. Lets start with a motor that shuts down 3 cylinders when its not working hard. The space inside is larger than an MB E350. Controls are ergonomically pleasing like the temp and fan blower speeds (toggles).
