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.

  Near Perfection - 2003 Honda Accord
  By JMOS - February 5 - 10:00 am

  Truly one of the best, most well appointed vehicles I have ever owned. THis car has it all. Power, style, luxury and is a dream on the road. THe suspension and engine are a perfect setup especially with teh 5sp Auto. The balance and ride is superb and all the creature comforts of a much more expensive vehicle. The interior is absolutely beatiful and extremely functional. THis car is near perfect.

  bad mileage very bad mileage - 2005 Honda Accord
  By akatz - February 5 - 12:16 am

  extremely bad mileage...17 miles per gallon...complained to the dealer...they said that it is normal because of the v6 and that the sticker info when you buy a new car (and that advertized the car for 27in the city and 35 on highways) is not established by Honda but by an independent company...so honda has no responsibility...Nice pick-up though, fun to drive but a killer for gaz. Also after a year the leather is already wearing off...it is too thin and dries- up and wrinkle very easily...so my friends...beware and ask the dealer more than a few questions....my feel is that there are going to be a lot of these on the used market very soon..so if you want a v6..get it used!!

  LOVE the EX-L - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Silvia - February 4 - 11:19 pm

  We love love love this car. The cabin is spacious and it feels like sitting in the lap of luxury. The adjustable lumbar support on the drivers seat is perfect. The back seats comfortably seat a tall person and the side windows allow them to look at passing scenery without craning their necks. The Accord is a game-changer for safety. The side camera really reduces tension when changing freeway lanes or keeping an eye on bicyclists. . I had to stop suddenly when a kid ran into the street. The brake went down faster than I could have braked and the stability assist helped me keep control of the car. And. I love CarPlay navigation while streaming music.

  Great car overall - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Leo - February 4 - 11:14 pm

  Owning this car knowing a lot of things about Honda, I was very satisfied. The car handles incredible rain or shine. The K24a4 more could be better but I was unlucky enough to not find a v6 more that was in my price range. Even though it is a 4L the engine sounds amazing after getting a custom made exhaust. Along with that the inside of the car is great but the one issue I have is that the dashboard looks so cheap unlike the Japanese version thats in Japan. Along with that you dont get Bluetooth which sucks. Plus theres this common issue with the stock radio, I would get a after market radio which is pretty cheap and easy to install, its a typical DIY duty. If youre looking to buy this kind of car with a manual transmission I would install a short throw shifter because Hondas typically have a long throw when youre going to another gear. The short throw shifter makes everything so smooth and easy. Plus a side note to this is that a lot of Acura TSX or TL parts are interchangeable for the 03-07 Honda Accord.

  2009 Honda Accord - 2009 Honda Accord
  By Wow. Love This Car - February 4 - 5:30 pm

  This is our first Honda. The 2009 is fantastic. Love the leather; 4cyl is plenty of power, smooth, quiet. So much interior room its amazing. And the stereo in this car is like a private concert hall. Stunning. I cant wait to get back in the car every day!

  Honda Accord 2002 SE - Not too satisfied - 2002 Honda Accord
  By DG - February 4 - 11:26 am

  The ride comfort of the Honda is very poor. The economical part of the vehicle is very good. The transmission is the weak part of the 2002 (4cyl) model. Vehicle has been checked out twice by the Dealer. Dealer cannot find problem. The transmission downshifts and upshifts very harsh at intermediate times. There is not a pattern to problem. Now I worry if I am going to be broke down on the side of the highway at some time in the near future and not covered by warranty.

  Overated Honda Quality - 2006 Honda Accord
  By DrYzf600 - February 4 - 10:13 am

  The car is basically a good car. It is the quality and dealer experience that ruins it. I bought it with 6 miles on the odo and it died on me when I was driving it,no power, nothing.A few mins. later it would restart. It was in for repair twice in the first 2 weeks. It was a bad engine computer like I told them to check the first time.But Im not a "mechanic", so what do I know? Now the paint on the bottom window trim is curling back and I have a bulge in the A pillar airbag cover/trim piece. Also I have an electrical problem that they say is "normal" the headlights dim and the idle gets rough and the hvac fan surges. I say bad alternator, they say it just cant keep up and that its normal.
