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.

  Smooth and Powerful Ride - 2010 Honda Accord
  By Brandon C. - November 6 - 5:13 am

  After shopping around for months, looking at many makes and models, the Honda Accord EX V-6 ended up being the winner. It replaced my old 1987 4-cyl Toyota Camry. And did I make the right choice. The ride is both smooth and powerful. The 8-way power drivers seat control is great for my big frame. It has a very spacious interior (for a big guy like me) and I like that the rear bench collapses to expand trunk space when I need it. Even though the Accord doesnt get the same great fuel economy as a hybrid would, Im satisfied with the way it performs. Its a keeper.

  Still My Car of Choice - 1996 Honda Accord
  By Don410 - November 6 - 2:00 am

  This is the second Honda that Ive owned. The car is fun to drive, although it doesnt seem quite as powerful as my 1990 EX. The A/C condenser fan quit at 67,000 miles. Cost of replacement: $230. Just last week, I lost the timing belt at 72,200 miles. I assumed that my 96 had the same timing belt interval as my 90, which was 90,000 miles. Unfortunately, the interval for this engine is 60,000 miles instead! Surprisingly, no engine damage occurred. For some unknown reason, the coil and igniter gave up at the same time I lost the timing belt, so Im looking at a grand total of almost $1000 in repairs (I am waiting for the new igniter to arrive as I write this).

  Looks like a more expensive car - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Chris H. - November 6 - 1:33 am

  Have owned a Civic for 10 years, but wanted more leg room(im 65")When I have my drivers seat back all the way, there is still tons of room in the backseat for tall passengers. Honda did everything right, from the exterior styling, great stock stereo and speakers, to one of my favorite features the racing "feel" steering wheel they borrowed from the Civic. The interior is laid out great,appreciate the large screen, touch controls on the steering wheel. The fit and finish are great, as with all Hondas, the buttons and switches all feel like quality, I couldnt be happier, it exceeds all my expectations, it came down to a Camry and the Accord, and it wasnt close styling wise Honda wins!

  Overall good - 2008 Honda Accord
  By EC - November 5 - 4:46 am

  Overall a solid car: big, roomy, handles very well and holds a family of four. I brought my 2008 Honda in April 2008 and have not had any issues with the brakes. I checked my rear brakes three months ago and they look OK. Uneven rear brake wear where the inside pad wears prematurely indicates a problem. Regular use of the parking brake should SET the rear inner brake pads. I believe that is the cause for all the brake problems. I had a 1994 Honda accord and the rear pads wear at about 40000 miles and the front at 60000 miles.

  Great car for anyone - 1995 Honda Accord
  By dvd - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I got this car when I graduated high school and have driven it for the past 5 years. Its hard to believe that the car is going to turn 8 this year. It has been a great vehicle (though one would expect a bigger pickup in a V6), but it drives much better then the 4 cylinder. Its a good, dependable car that I expect to last another 5 years.

  Great Car!!! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Genesis1272 - November 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive had the car for about a week now and I still grin every time I get into it. I was considering the Infiniti G35 coupe and am soooo glad that I didnt go for it. All the same features plus a few more for $8,000+ less. Great bargain for what you get. On top of that the buying experience was top notch, best Ive ever had. No hassling and in/out of the dealership in 35 minutes. Great job Honda!

  Gotta get one!!!! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Lawdawgfl - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I have had the car a little over a month and enjoy the heck out of it. The power with the V-6 is great, there is no regrets about getting the 6 speed manual transmission. I got the red with tan seats, I love the combo.

  WOW! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By KY pilot - November 5 - 2:00 am

  Almost bought an Acura TSX (dealer could not get the car and wanted MSRP - no discount, Honda dealer discounts). Drove a 5 speed EX and was very impressed with the acceleration of the 4 cyl. and smoothness of the 5 sp. Wanted leather and nav so I had to order the car. It was well worth the wait! To quote my 24 y.o. son, "The car is awesome!" This is luxury without the price!

  Not too bad - 2004 Honda Accord
  By LMH - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car after my Volvo S60 was totaled. It drives very well and has a lot of features for the money. Mine has XM radio in it plus the 6 CD in dash player, so I have fun with it on long trips. I havent found it to be as comfortable as my Volvo was, but its also a lot cheaper.
