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.

  Still The best - 1999 Honda Accord
  By calceste - February 4 - 2:00 am

  I have owned several Honda since 1986, The Accord have been the most complete trouble free car I ever had. I purchased from original owner with 40K miles, only have put a new set of tires, drives great, super safe handling, impressive response on acceleration for a 4 cilinder, daily driving is very confortable and its simplistic with contemporary stily makes this one one of the best car on the road for the value.

  Great Car - 1994 Honda Accord
  By phil9164 - February 3 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Accord since Dec 1993 with only 2 miles on it when I bought it. It is a very reliable car with superb fuel economy. I like that it has 6 speakers.

  Not completely satisfied - 2008 Honda Accord
  By lumbmas - February 1 - 1:13 pm

  -Good: a powerful 4cyl engine makes for a fun drive. Great mileage for such a heavy vehicle. Very spacious trunk and interior seating. Comfortable for a long drive, although lumbar support is a tad too excessive. Aggressive exterior styling (specifically the front). -Bad: rear brakes gave out at 30,000km, and, as I near 60k, another change seems imminent - very disappointing. Sunroof and windows open all on their own when car is PARKED and OFF - Honda couldnt diagnose the problem. Batteries in the remote entry died within the first few months of ownership. Overall a good vehicle, but does not live up to the legendary Honda reputation for quality and reliability.

  Great Sedan! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By Jay L. - January 31 - 10:53 pm

  This is my 2nd Accord. I had looked for a good car/SUV for two years and had test-driven many. At last, after running a cycle and came back to the starting point. It is not a luxury car but it gives you a feeling of luxury. V-6 is quite and smooth. The reliability is needless to mention - rock-solid! The first tank of gas is giving me 25 mpg (local only). Ill see how the 2nd tank goes. So far so great!

  One Helluva car! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Tool Fan - January 31 - 10:00 am

  Wow! This is a great car. Thanks Honda for producing such a great piece of machinery. The V-6 engine has PLENTY of power and the 6spd tranny definately puts all 240 horses to the pavement. The interior is well designed and the perforated leather seats are comfortable and supportive. All instruments are laid out in a well organized and thoughtful pattern and the LED gauges are easy to see in day and night. The exterior styling is not for everyone, but personally I really like the looks of this car, especially with the 6spd exclusive 17 inch wheels. Overall, a very well thought out and put together car.

  all around great car! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By DrunkEd - January 31 - 10:00 am

  The 03 Accord was my first new car and I dont think its possible to purchase a better one. It rides so nicely and although its a 4-cylinder, the car wants to go. It is so much fun to rev it and feel the V-tec kick in at higher rpms.

  Best Car Ever! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By rdimler - January 31 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Honda Accord and I will probably always drive one. It is the most economical, dependable and attractive car Ive ever driven. The body is sleek and it handles very well. This car runs forever and is so economical on gas. Accessories are so varied, creative and cool it makes it easy to dress it up.

  will never buy a Honda again - 1998 Honda Accord
  By heatherismad - January 31 - 10:00 am

  I have had more problems with this car than any I have ever had. I have already had to get a new transmission and now the EGR valve is clogged. Its one thing after the other. I should have gone Toyota!
