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.

  One of the best - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Hank Jr - October 17 - 8:16 pm

  This is the the 5th Honda in my family, the 1st being an 86 Civic, 94 Accord(mine), 03 Oddy(pop), 06 CR-V(moms), and now 08 Accord(mine.) I must say this is a huge improvement than it predecessor that i test drove. The 190hp high output engine sometimes seems a bit too much power. Fit and finish is great. I always wanna drive it...but I gotta watch it, gotta get the most outta that Honda warranty. Seats are comfortable for long trips.

  A new Honda Fan is born! - 2001 Honda Accord

  I must say that I was rather skeptical since I had never owned one before. I Previously had a Dodge Intrepid with the 3.5L V6 and thought that car was good. But it did have a few squeaks and rattles. This Accord has no noise, its still quiet and the leather is great. I drive a lot and the only thing I would ask Honda is to do something about the gas mileage. My Intrepid could go 455 miles on one tank of gas, the Accord only makes it to 325 and thats with the SULEV 4 banger. I love the car and look forward to my next new Honda... the Pilot.

  I wont bore you with everything I could say about this car. Its an ideal blend of subtle styling with just enough performance to get you in trouble and as well appointed as a bemmer 3-series for fewer clams.

  Great car - 2003 Honda Accord
  By ETam - October 17 - 10:00 am

  I was comparing this car against the VW Passat and Camry. With V6 and Nav. It is a no brainer. It is fun to drive, more like a Bimmer. It is a much better car than the VW and Toyota.

  I love this car ..... - 2003 Honda Accord
  By nerdy girl - October 17 - 2:00 am

  I was in an accident which totaled my 2002 Accord and therefore had to purchase a new car. I was a little skeptical of the new exterior design of the 2003 Accord Sedan but once I arrived at the dealership, I changed my mind. They are so much sportier looking and the interior design is great! Plus, it has much more power than my 2002 and holds the road better, probably due to the wishbone suspension in the front as well as the rear. This is a great car!

  Excellent... - 2003 Honda Accord
  By cxvargas - October 17 - 2:00 am

  ...car. Our first choice was the Passat, but the Accord won because of price, reputation for reliability and features. The stereo on this car is far superior to the VWs optional Monsoon. Also, we saved thousands of $$$$ with basically the same features as the VW and the dealer experience was far superior. Our Accord is not a sports car but is a comfortable driving machine and Im sure should keep the same serene ride and quality for years to come. This is my first Honda and so far they have won a customer for our next purchase.

  honda to hyundai to honda - 2016 Honda Accord
  By socalcurl - October 17 - 12:36 am

  Before buying this car, you need to put into perspective what size the engine is and what your realistic expectations are for that car. (Ive had 8,6 and 4 cyl. cars) Then think about the tires, if you get 19" tires you have less sidewall/absorption and you will feel more bumps on the road. Now for my review...This sedan handles very well for a mid-size car and Im talking about suspension over bumps, cracks, pot-holes, crowned roads, steering, cornering, stopping, turning radius etc. For 185hp, it accelerates beautifully when merging and changing lanes. The transmission doesnt kick, skip, hesitate etc. when Im slowing, coming to a complete stop, or accelerating like the 2015 Chrystler 200 that I rented. That was scary as I am sensitive to odd engine/transmission noises. The seats are ok and I havent driven the car over 800 miles so I cant make a fair assessment but I can say that the lumbar support is my favorite in a drivers seat. WOW, the led fog lights really light up the road, love em. When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the trim, its very classy and pleasing to me. Then the leather trim with fabric seats was a good decision that makes us EX owners feel good about having some leather ;). I had leather before and I liked that I could clean it easily. It has plenty of room for elbows and arms, which is important and the back passenger can have comfort as well. Another thing I coveted were rear vents, and when I sat in my new car that was an awesome surprise! Bluetooth sound is clear, no "huh, what did you say?" in my convos while I drive. The Carplay is an excellent idea because you dont need to wonder about who texted you or where your phone is. Does that make sense? Oh and the lanewatch, I really like that idea, sometimes theres too much going on and I forget to re-re check, so its a nice plus. Im still exploring the car and so far Im enjoying it day by day. The radio has good sound and Im glad I have the tweeters, which I noticed were not in the Sport or LX. I gotta hear my BPM.
