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.

  Pretty good car - 2004 Honda Accord
  By zride17 - April 6 - 2:00 am

  For the most part, I like my car. It feels pretty powerful for just 4 cylanders. The sunroof is fun, Ive never had one before. The controls on the stereo are great. Probably the best on any car that Ive seen. Ive got some noise from my driver window if it is windy or Im going over 45mph. The other annoying thing is the paint. I had a Saturn before and the paint didnt chip nearly as easily as this one does. Ive had it for two months and Ive had two door dings chip the paint. One on each side. One of them I did myself with our other car and the other car (Altima) didnt lose any paint at all.

  My Spacious car - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Chris72771 - April 6 - 2:00 am

  I love my Accord, it is extremely spacious inside. The trunk is huge and everything you need while driving is right at your fingertips. The car handles great and I feel safe driving in bad weather conditions.

  Tormented 2003 Honda Accord Owner - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Sharker - April 6 - 2:00 am

  Overall the Accord is a very nice car. But the overall Honda experience has left me disillusioned. After one month the indash 6 disk CD changer started to drill holes in my CDs. Honda made me wait 1 month for a NEW ONE...oh WAIT! they gave me someones elses "recondition" CD changer/radio/climate control unit! I feel robbed! I also had to wait 10 weeks to get my 6 CDs back that were stuck in the CD Changer and I am fighting to get compensated for the damaged CDs. I get about 24mpg and I do mostly highway driving. I like the car but am a little disappointed.

  Its ok for a daily driver - 2013 Honda Accord
  By mark - April 4 - 2:23 pm

  Its a Honda, not a Mercedes, so my expectations werent that high to begin with. The 4 cylinder model is not a race car by any means, but the CVT does a decent job at putting the power down where you need it and delivering a nice smooth take off from a stop night. The steering is very loose, but it delivers a precise and agile feeling. The brakes could be better, they vibrate a little and it sometimes requires finesse to get the car to stop smoothly. The car also jerks when slowing to a stop, usually around 10 mph, but its nothing serious. The ride quality could use some improvement, its quite harsh and violent over bumps. The leather seats in my EX-L model are quite hard and unsupportive, I often feel like Im sitting "on" the seat rather than "in" the seat. I find the overall feel of the cabin is a bit cold and utilitarian. Handling of the vehicle is adequate for the class. It has somewhat of an "old school" Honda zippy feel, but a great amount of that classic Honda feeling was lost due to government regulations and recent manufacturing standards. The bluetooth connectivity and media sources are finicky and complicated to use, the infotainment system seems to have a mind of its own. Its also unnecessarily complicated to flip through radio stations. You twist the tuning knob expecting it to just jump to the next station, but instead it brings up a menu and you have to manually select which station you want and press it using the knob, or you can use the arrows on the touch screen. Both methods are extremely distracting and unnecessary. Again, its not perfect, but its certainly far from the worst car Ive driven. Its easy to drive, and easy to park. If youre like most of America and just want a simple, easy to drive commuter car, the Accord will suit you just fine. Been over 3 years and the car has needed nothing.

  Good purchase - 2008 Honda Accord
  By LaShawn - April 3 - 5:33 pm

  This was an un-planned purchase. Id looked at the Mazda 3 and the Nissan Altima coupe. When I saw this in the Nighthawk Black Pearl I had to have it. I am coming out of a 2.8 VB Jetta so the 4-cyl is a little slow for me. Otherwise, its a great car. My only complaint is the seat is not comfortable for a long period of driving and if it is raining and you barely roll the window down uou will get soaked. This car is a real head turner. I get tons of compliments on it.

  best car in class - 2003 Honda Accord
  By shumit - April 1 - 10:00 am

  The Added VTEC 160 HP is definitely noticeable. i had a 01 accord V6 200HP and I honestly think the 03 LX is as quick of not quicker in pick up. Plus the gas mileage is unbelievable, i actually drove over 450m in one tank once. If you are just HP hungry go ahead and get the V6. Great Car. Wont regret it.

  2009 Honda - 2009 Honda Accord
  By James Stevens - March 31 - 5:10 am

  Very satisfied to date, car is 2009, I presently have 3800 miles, I am retired, this spring will take long trips. I had a 2005 Linc T/C, thought I would have major driving transition, not so, I find Honda 6 fun to drive, fast, comfortable, alert, & certainly never think about gas vs Linc
