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.

  3rd Accord and mostly loving it. - 2016 Honda Accord
  By George - June 4 - 2:14 am

  I was excited to get an EX sensing coupe for the price of an LX coupe. The wheels are much nicer on the EX. Coming from an 07 Accord coupe v6 and the improved fuel economy is amazing. I do miss the power of the v6, but the power is acceptable and allows for easy merging. Im also getting better combined mileage in traffic than I ever did with straight highway driving and no traffic with the old v6. The plethora of listening options are great and Android Auto works very well on my Galaxy S7. I do however, wish that I could use Pandora while Android Auto was active, and that the sound system was a little better. I was expecting a bit more from the upgraded system with subwoofer. Sound quality isnt the greatest, and neither is the bass, even with the sub. The ride strikes a very nice balance between compliance and sportiness. It feels planted, but not harsh.

  Great bang for the buck! - 2008 Honda Accord
  By houndog37 - June 3 - 8:20 pm

  Test drove the Altima and the Accord the same day. There was no contest. The Accord won hands down in the first 2 minutes of the drive. Im 60" and had plenty of room in all seating areas. Liked the arrangement of instrumentation on the dash. Exterior looks much more expensive than what you pay for. Engine has a gracious amount of power for a 4 cyl. Its not a 6 cyl so dont compare it to one. Interior noise is very minimal. The overall handling is very impressive. You definitely cant go wrong with this car. As always, another great piece of work from Honda. I couldnt be happier if Id spent twice the amount of money.

  My fourth car, and my first Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Kevin - June 2 - 6:23 pm

  Ive owned three vehicles prior to my 08 Accord. My first love was a Malibu, my second was Olds Alero and finally my Isuzu Ascender. I enjoyed every vehicle but, I had problems with all of the in the first year. I have to say that my Honda by far has been the most reliable. Its quiet, get good gas mileage and looks clean inside and out. I love the new body style and the interior is a simple pleasure except for the center dash. Overall I have had minimal issues and the car performs like a champ. I believe its in the top four cars for the price range. I dont think I could have made a wiser choice in a vehicle for a single guy or family vehicle for that matter. Best vehicle for the price!

  Nice 09 Accord LX-P - 2009 Honda Accord
  By rjb - June 1 - 2:10 am

  I tend to buy cars and run them for many years and for 200k + miles. I did a lot of research and was concerned about the 4cyl using oil as that complaint was reported by some 08-09 owners but in 3k miles I havent used a drop. Seats are comfortable and handling is good. Its just a 4 cyl so dont expect great performance. Its geared right so even going up hills it rarely downshifts. Honda tends to build good cars and this is no exception, even though its already 7 yrs old, everything is tight, no rattles. I drive 25 mi to work every day and get about 30 mpg. Only thing I dont like is theres no outside temp. display, seems odd that was left out. When going shopping, which is a 45 min drive, the whole family wants to take the Accord because its the most comfortable car we have, compared to the 08 Highlander...

  proud owner - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Terry Tennant - June 1 - 2:00 am

  I have enjoyed driving my accord very much. I prefer the operation/comfort level of the typical "US VERSION" of the tilt wheel option. I was surprised that I needed rear disc brakes replaced with a bit over 19,000 miles!! Overall..............a great car!

  Hanover Honda - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Dick Wolan - June 1 - 2:00 am

  This is an excellent riding vehicle. I know because I personally drive an 8- cylinder Ford Crown Victoria on a daily basis. The ride is as smooth in the Honda Accord at 80 mph as it is in the Crown Victoria. The Hondas suspension system is excellent, providing for a firm yet very comfortable ride. Noise reduction is excellent. Controls are easy to use and offer a variety of options for balancing the temperature on either the drivers side or passengers side. Safety is very important: two side air bags give some peace of mind. The only negative aspect is that the interior height in the front could be higher.

  Great - 2004 Honda Accord
  By PLaybunny113 - June 1 - 2:00 am

  This car is great, fun to drive, and very comfortable. The only thing i would change is the space in the back seat. However, what could you ezpect form a 2 door car. All together the car is perfect for someone who likes speed and great performance.

  Still love my ex coupe - 2000 Honda Accord
  By Cracker - June 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car used in october 2002 with aprox 34000 miles to replace the nissan altima my wife totaled. After a year of ownership im confident that this vehicle will get many more trouble free miles it has been flawless mechanicaly. The clearcoat has chiped a bit off the passenger door. Otherwise a very good daily driver.
