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.

  My 3rd Honda - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Neslo - November 13 - 10:00 am

  I just traded in my 00 SAAB for this Accord EX. The Accord rides a little harder but handles better and is quieter. It has more interior room and I expect it will be WAY more reliable. The 4 cylinder has plenty of power for almost every situation. The build quality and comfort are a the big plus. Feels like a "state of the art" sedan.

  I Love This Car! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By SKYUSMC - November 12 - 11:56 am

  Had several SUVs in the past 7 years. Decided to downsize to my Honda due to gas prices and lack of driving excitement. Will not buy an SUV again. What can I say, its a wonderful car. I commute 70 miles per day, averaging 25 mpg from 65% highway, 35 % city driving. Great power, especially accelerating at highway speeds even though I must say, I test drove the Accord EX 4CYL model and found it to have more than enough power. I felt that the V6 had a nicer look though (larger wheels, dual exhaust). It has the feel of a very well made car. Great looking interior (tan leather, with fray/tan dashboard) and very comfortable power seats up front. Nice size car, and the new rear end looks great.

  made a mistake - 2005 Honda Accord
  By puki - November 12 - 5:23 am

  I am really sorry to have even considered this car because from the very first day that this car was bought, it has been giving me problems (squeaking, brakes are bad, got recalled for trans and airbags). Looked at the toyota and no such recall on that car. Bought the camry and am very happy with that car.

  Little Red Coupe - 2005 Honda Accord
  By john tyler - November 11 - 2:13 am

  Had to wait to get the color red with navigation. With new car, why not get color I want? Also like tan leather better than black. Never had navigation and GPS is amazing; also like the XM radio and will keep it. The power can pin you back into the seat and the 1st MPG was 24.1 on regular. I wanted a car fun to drive on twists but comfortable on freeway. Think this will be it and can keep for a long time. Felt the coupe looked better in back compared to sedan. Body appears sculpted aerodynamically from all angles.

  One SWEET Ride - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Dr. B - November 9 - 6:46 am

  I bought this car in Carbon Bronze on Jan 27 and I simply LOVE IT!! I own a civic and this Accord felt like I was getting re-acquainted with an old friend that can talk back. The voice activated features really help sell the car. The buttons are all in easy reach and everything is simple to use. The ride quality is excellent and the Michelin tires do not disappoint in the rain. The navigation is very good. I have gotten very comfortable with my heated seats and XM satellite radio as well. The leather is firm and supportive and the climate control makes sure youre always feeling nice and cozy inside. I also like the variable wiper speed that adjusts to the speed of the vehicle..really cool.

  Great Car - 1998 Honda Accord
  By ejgarc - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Good, solid economical car that has a little bit of everything. It has some sportiness to it, but can still carry 5 passengers comfortably, good on gas, but still has passing power on the highway.

  A sure thing. - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Dean - November 5 - 9:40 am

  Everything just works flawlessly. The car is not cheaply made with squeaky plastic. Everything feels solid and smooth. Road noise/wind noise/engine hum is never noticed. Perfect size for comfortable driving with four people. Plenty of storage space in trunk. Four cylinder has plenty of power yet still has good gas efficiency. Lines are distinctive and classy with great curb appeal.

  Best Car Ever Owned! - 1994 Honda Accord
  By Lghtspeedz - November 4 - 10:00 am

  My dad bought this car new and was going to trade it in (on a newer modedl) at 238,000 miles. Even with those miles I decided to buy it from him. I just turned over 281,000 miles and the engine runs strong. The body has some rust but the overall the car has been great. It is slowly starting to lose its gusto and I will be trading it in soon (hopefully on another used Accord). I would highly recommend any Accord!!!!
