  Overall happy...except for road noise - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Grandma of 3 - April 5 - 1:23 am

  I did a TON of research before making a decision - owned a little over 2mos now. Leased the 2016 Honda Accord Sedan LX (didnt care about the extra bells and whistles). Traded in my 2007 Toyota Sienna Van w/90k miles, no addl money down, pymt is $205 39mos. Kona Coffee Metallic (pretty dark) w/black interior (had white vehicle for last 15yrs). A little adjusting since Im used to sitting up higher. Seats are comfortable, although front passenger seat sits a little low and consequently a little more effort to get out. I have 3 grandkids (5, 8, & 11) that live locally and back seat has ample room/room to grow. Trunk is pretty darn spacious and came with trunk mat standard which I think is great. Purchased (not from dealer) all weather floor mats that cover hump in back to help with dust/rock collection (I live in Az). Handles very well. Disengaging "Eco" makes it pretty zippy when needing to accelerate (merging/uphill). Taken 700mile road trip and comfortable in seats entire time, avg 37mph highway cruising @ 75. Road noise is more than I expected, although because I live in NW Az (3500 elev) when the asphalt is not tight/new this greatly affects the noise (acceptably quiet if road is good). Also believe the Continental tires are part of the problem, but does not really make sense to spend $500+ to replace them at this point. Overall happy with purchase, but sometimes the road noise gets to me. When you test drive I would suggest driving on different road types (good/smooth & bad/rough), LEAVING RADIO OFF so you can hear road/tire noises and get the full experience based on various road conditions.

  Nasty tires at 25000 miles. - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Mr Jeff - February 15 - 11:45 am

  Purchased new March 2016, at 25000 miles tires are way out of line for road noise, dealer claims it may need alignment, when I get the paper from Alignment specialist that it is not out of alignment that would cause the tires to act this way I will be back to dealer.

  Wind nouse - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Jose Vega - January 8 - 11:53 pm

  After 69 mph wind noise is very uncomfortable. It is very pronounced on the upper corners of the front windows( right next to your ears -shoulders and makes for an unpleasant ride

  My 2 cents - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Maria Eriksen - May 11 - 11:27 am

  A great vehicle. Love the additional bells & whistles stepped up from the older EX-L sedans.

  Well it did stall out at a dive thru... - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Beth - April 1 - 8:37 pm

  Overall I like the car very much. I have 900ish miles on it. I need to take it to the dealership because last week it felt a little funny when I needed to quickly accelerate in traffic. (I gunned it) then 10 minutes later I was at a drive thru window and it felt like it was going to start sputtering and then it just shut off. It started right up and I got home with no issues. Otherwise I like the ride of the car, the interior is nice although I would like more storage. I really like the navigation in the car. I typically default to my phone and Google Maps because most navigation systems are a pain but this one is easy and up to date.

  Best bang for buck for economy car - 2016 Honda Accord
  By Nam N. - January 26 - 11:46 pm

  As a long time Honda owner and having gone through 6 different generations of Accords, 3 gens of Civics - I must say the 2016 Honda Accord is bar none the best looking of them all, dare I say best looking of all economical mid sized sedans on the market. Exterior: LED running lamps and brake lights, dual chrome tipped exhaust, paired with the 19 inch factory rims (on the Sport model) really gives an expensive European look on the new Accord. Smooth body lines and the chrome trim pieces really makes the exterior a top of the line car to look at. INTERIOR: is simplistic and classy. The sport model isnt as flashy without the dual screen for navigation and apple play but it suffices for your daily needs of music, MPG stats, and the new feature of adding photos via USB. Gauge cluster is appealing and consist of a glowing ring that goes from white to green depending on fuel efficiency/how you drive. Spacious enough for 4 full grown adults with plenty of leg room in the front and rear. Middle seat in the rear is always uncomfortable but you can still manage to squeeze someone in without too much discomfort. Trunk space is very large and I havent had any issues shopping at Costco and fitting anything I need to thus far. The bluetooth system is rather poor as I have had multiple issues with connections cutting on and off, since a recent software update on my phone though, I havent run into the issue - however the lack of being able to voice dial by name is rather bothersome. Pandora and bluetooth connectivity for music works rather seamlessly, although I would rather have XM Radio capabilities instead of Pandora. The way around it is still to stream XM via phone and run it via bluetooth - but that does use up data. Engine/Tranny: Its got enough umpf for a 4 banger to get up and go when you need it to. The CVT transmission shifts flawlessly through all gears. Launching off the line feels rather sluggish, despite using the paddle shifters. Theres enough power in the upper end and responsive enough on the freeway to get out of situational hazards. Braking feels solid and cornering the car really sticks to the road, it being FWD definitely helps pull through corners are high speeds than what signs recommend. Its no race car by any means but its perfect for daily driving. If you want power and speed pick up the V6 model. Honda really stepped up their game with their new 2016 line up on all vehicles. The Accord is easily my favorite. I do however wish that I spend the extra money for the EX or EX-L. Missing the amenities of keyless entry when I have my hands full of groceries or having to reach into my pockets to find my keys. Sunroof on the warm days or cool summer nights. Auto dimming mirrors when driving in front of a truck or a small car with high beams on. Mostly the memory seats, as I share the car with my wife throughout the week and its tedious to constantly have to adjust the seat and mirros. Heated seats for the cold winter days. Given that the EX-L is quite a bit of a step up in price compared to sport and has less the fancy 19 inch wheels and dual exhausts, Id much rather have luxuries than the asthetics. If youve never had these features you probably wont miss it as the car asthetically is a huge upgrade for anyone. If you have had these options in a previous vehicle youll miss it greatly. Overall I dont think there is a better car for value and looks on the market. The sport model is perfect for someone who likes to have good looks and value in their car - for the long term Id recommend picking the higher model because you dont realize what youre missing until you dont have it. But Id say Im still happy with my purchase.
