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.

  This is THE best car I have ever driven - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Dave from Montreal - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This car is definately comparable to Lexus, BMW, Benz, and Audi. The good news: its only a fraction of the price. Interior is the best Ive seen, this car has awesome power, and the dash-lighting will blow you away. Great job Honda!!!!

  Another Winner From Honda - 2008 Honda Accord
  By JoD - November 2 - 11:43 am

  Much bigger and better than our Accord 00 EX-L trade-in, which we loved. The xtra room is a bit wasted on us, empty nesters, but the Civic is too small. "Gliding" can best define the comfort and quietness of the ride inside. Driving is nimble with quick steering and smooth road feedback. Ample power is confidence inspiring; the heavier new car has better weigh/HP ratio than the old one. This trim is about right for us: we dont need moonroof, heated seats/side mirrors (we live in S.FL) of the EX-L. But all the safety eqpt. is the same. Some other STD features add true value. With the leather seats, comfort is close to EX-Ls at a "best buy" price.

  Great Car - 2007 Honda Accord
  By Pam - November 1 - 9:10 pm

  I only purchased this car 3 days ago, and I really love it. This is my 3rd new car in less then 2 years and I think I finally have found a great car. I test drove Camry, Milan, Elantra, I owned a 2006 Sonata did not like, On my first gas fill up I got 27 mpg city. Have not been on highway yet. Am thrilled w/gas mileage so far, cant wait to take it on a trip to see what I get. This is a great car, the EX had the features I wanted, the only add on was the Protection Package and I am going to add the auto-dimming mirror at a later time. I highly recommend this car.

  My Honda Accord Hybrid - 2006 Honda Accord
  By perry beck - November 1 - 8:33 pm

  My 3rd Honda Accord. Outstanding body style. Excellent interior finishing. Very comfortable to ride in. Performance is excellent. As good as my V8 Durango. I wish that it came in a few other colors. Getting into and out of is not as easy as my last Accord. The power front seats are great. I have enjoyed the XM radio a lot. The car is very quiet and a pleasure to drive

  GREAT CAR, POWER,COMFORT, STYLE all in ONE - 2016 Honda Accord
  By JACK HILL - November 1 - 1:38 pm

  I bought one of these cars as I wanted the quality that comes with buying a Honda product and I am MORE than pleasantly surprised. It took searching the entire east coast OF THE USA to find one, and one dealer would not tell me where the car was. DEALERS had wildly different prices out of the four dealers that had one. It is not a big seller and most dealers do not stock them, only the larger dealers will buy one MAYBE two for the entire year. The car moves down the road with ease,power and gets looks from young and old people, most people do not what kind of car it is, most guess at a Civic, but they all say "NICE CAR !", and it is. Comfort, style, power and the latest in technology all wrapped into the most successful mid-size car of the last 35 years...THE HONDA ACCORD. I will take care of this car and I am sure it will more than take care of me. this Honda Accord has Leather interior, 360 watt/ 7 speaker sound system, 2 video screens(one touch screen), 2 cameras, 4 way power drivers seat, power everything. It might be .5 second slower BUT The Accord Coupe actually blows that car away....and I loved my 93 Sunfire. This Accord Coupe should serve me well.

  Accord a Great Value Proposition - 2010 Honda Accord
  By ttank - November 1 - 5:50 am

  I recently leased an EX-L I4 with Automatic Transmission and now have 1200 miles on the car. I am very happy with the features, performance and economy that this car offers for the money- I leased for $290/mo with $0 down and 12K miles/year. I love the way the car looks every time I walk up to get into it. I am averaging 28 mpg in combined ciy/hwy driving. My only complaint is an occasional interior rattle coming from the rear shelf area of the car that I have not yet identified the source of. The EX-L has virtually every feature a driver could need. Again for the money, it is hard to beat the value offered in a car with the features of the Accord EX-L

  Long in the Tooth - 2008 Honda Accord
  By hyampols - October 31 - 10:43 pm

  When I first purchased the Accord in the fall of 2007, I gave it a glowing review, noting that Accord had a perfect balance of quality, value and sportiness. After nearly a year of ownership, the car seems to be getting long in the tooth. Yes, it is roomy, has a nice interior, silky smooth engine, good transmission and direct steering. Yet, the Accord seems to lack that spark posessed by its predecessor. From the hard and uncomfortable driver seat, excessive body roll, several rattles in the interior and intrusive road noise, the vehicle just does not strike a chord (n.p.i) with me. In fact, I find my 2006 Civic Ex w/Nav to be a better built, more comfortable and more engaging car.

  Old accord great, New accord even better - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Carey - October 31 - 3:43 pm

  Just bought the 2005 accord about 4 months ago. Previously had a 1993 accord that never had any major problems (Typical Honda). The honda is awesome. It has a lot more room and the ride quality is outstanding. Personally i would have perferred the V6, even though 2.4L has plenty of power.

  Best decision I made - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Ashish - October 31 - 3:33 pm

  Just bought my 06 Honda Accord LX/SE 5 speed manual and I absolutely love it. It is the the best decision I made. I was originally looking at the Civic, but got such an awesome deal for the Accord. It is much nicer than the Civic and much more roomier. Although I havent driven it hard yet, the handling and shifting is awesome. Honda put together an excellent package for the money.

  EX-trordinary - 2004 Honda Accord
  By jrock - October 30 - 4:06 pm

  Great commuter. All controls readily at hand, and move with precision. Efficient use of space throughout cabin. Controls and displays top notch. No problems with build quality (squeaks, rattles-as posted elsewhere). Enjoy the refined engine and 5-speed manual transmission. Have peace of mind that comes with Hondas reputation. Wonderful job by Honda engineers in all facets of design.
