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.

  A few items short of being perfect - 2004 Honda Accord
  By fxcarden - June 26 - 10:00 am

  The car has a great, quiet ride. The V6 is smooth and powerful, and the gas mileage is very good, even with the V6. The radio controls are complicated. Honda dropped the ball on some items, considering the EX V6 is the top of the line. There are NO anti glare or heated mirrors. The Canadian version of the Accord has heated mirrors. Apparently someone at Honda doesnt think winters can be just as cold and snowy in the USA. The controls on the steering wheel are not lit, making them useless at night. The headlights do not turn on automatically. While these items may seem small, they are safety items so buyer beware.

  Proud to own an Accord - 2002 Honda Accord
  By dang tong - June 25 - 4:33 am

  Accord is an excellent value car. No doubt, its the most reliable, dependable car and has great resell value. If you are looking to buy an Accord. Good choice. Go for it. Cant go wrong. Get the EX-V6 if you can. I must say I regret for not getting the EX-V6 as my wifes. The reason I picked up the LX-V6 because its less $$ and its in the lot. From my point of view and experience, the EX-V6 worths every extra penny and its a more enjoinable car. If you decide to go with 4 cycl. model, get the SE for best bang for $$.

  Great Car But - 2014 Honda Accord
  By rgtoth - June 24 - 10:28 pm

  Good mileage in town or on highway. Great handling and responsive for 4 cyl. Road noise very pronounced at higher speeds on interstates especially on concrete pavement. It would be a No. 1 car if Honda could quite it down. In fact the whole honda line including Acura have the same noise issues.

  solid family sedan - 2002 Honda Accord
  By ChrisZ - June 24 - 10:00 am

  I sold my 92 LX Coupe for the 02 four door before my son was born and it was a great decision. The car has a very roomy interior and ample cargo space. It drives very smoothly and the engine noise gives you a good feel of the car when you rev it up. Very quiet on the highway. Even though its not the EX the stereo is plenty loud and clear. The nose of the car sits so low and visibility while driving is excellent. I still own an 89 Lxi and that car is a dream. 120k in NYC and the engine is still purring.

  30 mpg plus! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By George Z. - June 22 - 2:56 pm

  So far so good. I am getting 30 mpg plus, and the car is very fast. Very good pick up and handling. Looks great! Its hard to believe that it is a hybrid! It takes a little getting used to when the engine turns off when you have come to a complete stop, then turns on again when your foot comes off the brake.

  This is my first and last Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Summer - June 22 - 9:10 am

  Dealer was ok. I bought the 2008 Accord 4 DR EXL-V6. Wind noise on the road. Gas mileage is the pits. I do not do jack rabbit starts and I use the cruise on the highway. The interior and exterior are nice. I miss my keyless numbers to open the door when locked. It has everything but good gas mileage. It has some blind spots and the front sets so low you have to be care when you park in the parking lot it will drag on the curb.

  Honda quality? - 2000 Honda Accord
  By AKD - June 19 - 10:00 am

  This is my 1st Honda, bought used with 24k mi, 7 mos ago. Must now replace rear main seal & front axle shaft for $1265. Tranny is weak. Factory radio quit 2 wks ago, 1 window motor about to go. More rattles & whistles than my 89 Corolla w/ 273k mi. Front seats uncomfortable if youre tall. Fuzzy fabric grabs clothing. One seat doesnt lock down readily after adjusting. Fit & finish sloppy vs. Toyota. Cabin air filter buried behind glove box, expensive to replace per schedule. A/C not cold enough & makes brakes mushy. Fuel light only when you hit fumes. Trading for another Toyota ASAP.
