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.

  Rear brakes - 2008 Honda Accord
  By ml - January 23 - 6:53 am

  Great car but rear brakes went after one year! I called the dealer and they would not cover it. My mechanic could not believe the brakes had to be replaced. He actually bet me money it was not my brakes, he lost!

  Got a bad Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Not so Happy - January 22 - 6:56 am

  This is the third Honda I have owned and by far the worst of the three. There has been a problem with fuel injectors going out, I have had the #4 injector replaced twice already. There is a very annoying vibration in the car at highway speeds that the dealer can not correct or identify.

  No comparison - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Jack - January 22 - 5:06 am

  I have purchased a 2004 Accord EX V6 also and based on my satisfaction with the 04 decided that for the money the 05, which I bought for my wife, was the best choice over all its competitors. From a reliability and resale point of view this car has no comparison. I have been a loyal Honda/Acura driver for many years. After looking at the competition its hard to be convinced theres a better choice. Smooth quiet ride at all speeds. Cruises effortlessly at 80 MPH.

  Great, but... - 2007 Honda Accord
  By petm52 - January 20 - 6:56 am

  My first Honda - test drive was great, engine peppy, interior top-notch, great price for the value. However, had a serious problem with seat comfort after driving for a few days. At 61" and 220 (wide body), I was unable to get comfortable in sporty seats. Had to trade in for car with better seat. Also, found sport suspension to be hard

  285K and still running - 1990 Honda Accord
  By ReaRea - January 20 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 90 Honda in May 1993 as the second owner with 55K. I must say this has been the best car that I have ever purchased. I was in the military and have lived in various states and traveled from each state back to Georgia and this car have not given me a minutes problem. All of the original parts are still on the car except the radiator... I must say, if they keep building hondas with good quality like this......I will be a honda driver for life

  Accord EX- 4 cylinder CVT - 2013 Honda Accord
  By raj75 - January 20 - 12:12 am

  Excellent car. i owned a 1998 accord v6 for last 8 years. This car has almost same power and used highly adavanced technology. I am getting used to the new features lane watch, pandora,voice recognition and bunch of others. What amzed me most is its mileage. On hway i got 40 in eco-mode. Over all its fantastic. Only problem i found is slightly bumpy on bad roads.(problem can be excused). My friend having an acura TL said accord is a better car than TL. This car is way ahead in competition. Real Technology advancement.

  What a great car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Adam - January 19 - 6:16 pm

  This is the best built car I have ever owned. After having a awful 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx I bought my first non American in 37 years. My last one was a 1971 Dodge Colt. This car has a great ride, great looks, and I got 28 mpg in city driving.

  Excellent car so far - 2003 Honda Accord
  By chance - January 18 - 3:20 pm

  After owning for almost 2 years, no complaints. There was a recall on the tranny, but it was fixed in an afternoon, and I never noticed anything wrong anyway. MONSTER power for a "family" car (and 30mpg hwy!)- perhaps it could handle more stiffly for that much power but I guess thats the "comfort" trade-off. And it does ride very smoothly. No maintenance hassle at all. Rides like a nice upper- class Benz. Amazing car - only complaint is the console "lid" under stereo sometimes does not want to close - kinda cheaply constructed - but everything else feels really solid. For the money, you cannot get a better car (EX-V6 leather), period.
