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.

  Outstanding Vehicle - Cant Go Wrong - 2003 Honda Accord
  By bluto408 - October 1 - 10:00 am

  After owning this vehicle for 1.5 year, I can truly say that Honda builds an outstanding vehicle. I get consistantly 28+ MPG, even when driving it hard, and it is exceptionally quiet and comfortable. Additionally, this is a DRIVERS car, not your standard sedan. Performs like a sports car.

  This is the best auto I have owned over the last 25 years. I never have any concerns for my safety or for that of my sons. It is fun to drive, handles well, and gets great gas mileage.

  My First Honda Too!! - 2008 Honda Accord

  Drives and Handles great! Dont think you need the V-6 Model for power. The Vtech I-4 190 hp is more that enough to get the car moving!! Steering is very tight which is great on a small car. The looks of the car itself turns heads, every time we go somewhere, someone is always looking....Overall i think you will not regret buying this Honda

  Always go with your gut... Love it! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By Riley520 - September 28 - 9:23 pm

  At first, all I wanted was a Honda Accord Coupe, then I saw the Nissan Altima Coupe. I waited and waited and one day I told my husband to stop at Honda to look at the Honda Coupe to compare the size. Once I sat inside the Honda I was hooked! You cant even compare the Nissan to this car. I love how heavy this car is, how safe I feel in it. Like I said, always go with your gut, and after 18 months of waiting for the Nissan, I ended up with the Honda I wanted originally.

  My favorite Accord - 2008 Honda Accord
  By Paul R - September 28 - 6:10 pm

  I bought this car lightly used (19K miles) a few months ago. The EX is THE model to get. I have been very happy with this car so far. It replaced a 97 Camry 4cyl and since it is a much larger/safer/heavier/more powerful car, it gets a little less MPG. With conservative driving, I get about 24 city/34 hwy (properly manually calculated). The seats are very comfortable & supportive. I test drove an EX-L and felt the seats were too firm (plus, the EX-L seemed too slow..maybe not broken in yet). FWIW, mine is from Japan. I drove/compared to a dozen other cars.

  Responses and Updates - 2008 Honda Accord
  By EC - September 27 - 8:23 pm

  You guys are too harsh consult Honda owners. I have been driving Honda Accords since 1994. 1) They always had a noise issue (larger tires and a timing chain didnt help since now its more noisy BUT you get better handling and no timing belt replacements at 60K miles). 2) For those who have to change rear pads too early; You have to USE THE PARKING BRAKES to set the rear brake pads properly. The inside and outside pads should ALWAYS wear evenly (IF ONE PAD IS WEARING TOO FAST SOMETHING IS WRONG) 3) Always had stiff ride and seats.

  My First Honda - 2006 Honda Accord
  By George - September 21 - 1:40 am

  This is my first Honda, and I am loving it. There is a lot of car for the money. This car is great to drive to and from work, which is 40 mins each way for me. I am looking at 31.5 MPG at this time. The car is still breaking in.

  Great Car!! - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Happy Harold - September 20 - 2:56 am

  I had been shopping for a new or late model used car for about a year, I wanted a luxury car because of all the extras. I checked out the Honda EX with leather and Navigation and my search was over.If there is a better car it must cost a lot more. It is the only car I use that I can get into without bumping my head, (I am 78 yrs old and have a Volvo wagon and a Mercury Villager Van) I am very happy with this goodlooking comfortable car.

  Great value - 2006 Honda Accord
  By brad - September 18 - 9:10 pm

  I have driven my Accord 2,000 miles in less than 2 weeks and love the car. It has gotten 32.9 mpg to 36.2 mpg which is very impressive. The 4 cyl 5spd manual transmission has more than enough power for me and zooms 80 mph with no problems. If this Accord continues this performance ill never own anything but a Honda from this point forward.
