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.

  Diamond White Accord 4 door ex-v6 - 2008 Honda Accord
  By dan smith - February 21 - 2:03 pm

  Car is a rocket with the 268 HP 3.5 liter V6, though not great on fuel, 21 mpg. Fit and finish is near perfect. If I could I would have the cylinder management system disconnected. I can feel the engine kicking off cylinders which is my only annoyance with the car. The dash controls are a little fussy and is taking some time to get use to, but nothing like a friends very very fussy Audi.

  Excellent Automobile - 1994 Honda Accord
  By yumi - February 21 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Honda Accord straight off the dealer lot with 5 miles on it and now I have over 170,000. What a truly superb automobile. I have had only few problems with the car. It still has about 98% of it’s original parts. The leather seats and the interior have held up much better than the Toyota I have before it.

  By James Heck - February 21 - 10:00 am

  The Honda Accord is a fun car to drive, that still accomadates my family with plenty of room and comfort. The engine performace of the V6 VTEC is great, especially after adding the Cold Air Intake system.

  Honda for Life - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Sooner In FL - February 21 - 4:30 am

  This is my first Honda and I love it! For a little 4 banger, it has some get up and go. The ride is smooth and the seating is comfortable. XM radio is nice to have and the sound from the radio is pretty good coming from stock equipment. Handling is very responsive, but I do feel a little knock when turning once in a while.

  Sound Car With High Resale - 2006 Honda Accord
  By R - February 21 - 12:46 am

  This is a nice and comfortable sedan that has undergone recent tweaks to the exterior, interior and the suspension. Honda continues to improve the Accord every year never letting a good thing rest on its laurels. The Navigation system is the best-of-breed. XM Radio is a nice complement. The new tires and suspension make this a more spirited drive than the 2007 Camry; although, horsepower is less than the new Camry. Honda needs to give this car a facelift. It is like dating the average girl next door rather than a supermodel. The mechanics are fantastic and fit and finish are superior to most vehicles. The exterior needs an overhaul to compliment the interior.

  Perfect - Except for the driver seat. - 2006 Honda Accord
  By John - February 20 - 6:00 pm

  This is the best performing four cylinder Ive ever driven, it does perform like a six. Handling is tight at any speed. The interior is high quality. At around 18,500, I feel Ive gotten a pretty good deal as Ive paid more in the past for less car. My only complaint is the angle of the front seat, Im a little over six feet and have fairly long legs. After driving a couple of hours my right ankle starts to hurt from the sharp angle your right foot is forced at. No amount of seat adjusting seems to resolve this issue. Ive never heard anyone else complain about the seat so perhaps Ive the exception...

  Best car Ive ever had - 2007 Honda Accord
  By PRKID - February 20 - 7:36 am

  Was driving a Hyundai Sonata before I leased the Honda Accord coupe. Thought I enjoyed the Hyundai until I drove this car. It has been a blast. The 2008s are re-styled and I like them but, to me, this coupe has a timeless style. The fuel mileage has been outstanding. I get an combined average of over 30 mpg with 37 highway and 28 city. I find it fun to drive and sometimes just go out for a drive even if i have nowhere to go. For the price, this is a winner to me.

  My New Adventure - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Michael - February 18 - 10:00 am

  My second Honda, first one was a Civic 99, then I had a Maxima 01, and now this dependable 05 Accord automobile. The inside of the car is flawless, lots of leg room, the material used for the interior is sure a lot better then on Altima & Camry interior. The dealer gave me a price I could not walk away. I have the Accord for over two months...no problems no regrets.

  I LOVE THAT HONDA - 2004 Honda Accord
  By CrankyJr - February 18 - 10:00 am

  Ever since i can rember my family has always driven a Honda. Of course the same has gone for me. I have had the pleaure of driving a 95 4dr Accord, 1999 4dr Accord, 2000 2dr V6 Accord by far my favorite. A week ago i leased a 2004 2dr Accord, and i love it. The new body style is great, the black leather is a nice touch with the black exterior. The sound system as in previous models just keeps getting better. The pick up compared to the 2000 V6 is very similar. Which was one of my biggest concerns. The gas mileage is great, much better then the V6. Im sure i can expect the same reliability as in the past, with my other Hondas.
