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.

  My Very First Car - 2005 Honda Accord
  By HBdude - June 4 - 4:36 am

  Being 15 1/2 I have been looking for a car that would suit my needs...Ok anything would have been fine I mean driving=freedom but I really wanted something that would be large enough for me not to be cramped in and luxuroius. The Honda Accord EX-L fits my needs, the 160 HP is plenty power for my driving, I took it for a drive down the coast and it handled well in the hilly areas. The quailty of the ride is good from the drives seat but In not expecting it to handle my friends BMWs or Mercedes. The brakes are a bit weak but I adjusted and Im fine with it. The interior is amazing and is roomy for everyone, this car is extremly safe which makes it a great family sedan, or a teen car.

  Accord Hybrid "The best yet"!!! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Kelly Faris - June 3 - 3:36 pm

  I purchased a Civic Hybrid three years ago and just upgraded to the new Hybrid Accord. It has to be the best Honda of the 25 that I have owned. I have found nothing that I do not love about this car and when they describe it as a "Hybrid Rocket", they are not kidding!! What a wonderful addition to the Honda Family!!

  Auto makers can take a lesson from Honda - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Angellkis - June 3 - 11:33 am

  An incredible ride, outstanding fuel enonomy and great performance. Couldnt ask for more ! The Navi system and XM are true frosting on the cake, and with Hondas outstanding resale value Im convinced this is one of the best purchases Ive ever made. I did my homework about other models and have no regrets whatsoever. No matter what the weather is (Im in Great Lake Snow & Ice Country) Ive always felt secure on the road with the traction, durability and power to drive in any condition. I just wish the American Auto Makers would take these outstanding features (which obviously American consumers are looking for and need) and implement them in cars whose names weve grown up with.

  1995 Accord LX 4-door sedan - 1995 Honda Accord
  By Zizzy - June 3 - 2:00 am

  A creampuff. An inauspicious car but it has held up very well through 8 midwest winters. Very low mileage, no repairs of any significance. Will buy another.

  Bring Back the Fun with a 5 Speed - 1996 Honda Accord
  By Reverand - June 3 - 2:00 am

  Was looking for an affordable fun to drive manual shift after selling my SUV. This is a wonderful car. I needed to do some maintence (90,000 service and tune up, new tires) but it runs like a dream. Seems like it has a lot of miles left.

  Never Again - 2003 Honda Accord
  By softmom - June 2 - 10:00 am

  Ive had 3 Hondas & this is the worst one. I have encountered a brake recall, transmission recall and now the audio unit has a service bulletin because the display has gone out. I had to call Honda Customer Service and they agreed to foot the labor bill plus the unit cost. Long distance mileage is good, appearance of car is great. Mechanically unsound.

  Honda Accord V-6 sedan - 2003 Honda Accord
  By pjh - June 2 - 10:00 am

  I think its a great car with a surprising robust mileage. I have a few minor squeaks in the trunk / rear seat area. However, it could be more exciting to drive.

  Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2008 Honda Accord
  By JLGOTROX - June 1 - 10:13 am

  I have had the car for 3 days and I am still on the first tank. It is very nice to burn about 9 Gallons and still have half a tank after driving 260 miles. Posted mileage ratings are for those who have a heavy right foot. I have the full boat load, V6 EX-L, 6 Speed, Navi so on. This is my first Honda and I will be getting another. Honda nailed it on the head and it can only get better from here. This car is worth every penny of the 30K asking price.
