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.

  Pretty Nice Car!!! - 1998 Honda Accord
  By handler - January 21 - 10:00 am

  I bought my Accord used with 60,000mi I like it alot. Only if it had a manual tranny, I would love it. I think Honda should decide if they want sport or luxery, or a little more of both would be nice.

  Wow - 2006 Honda Accord
  By C.Clark - January 20 - 9:10 am

  At first, I wanted to purchase a Civic because of gas prices but there was something about the Accord. From the exterior to the interior its just beautiful! Its picks up like a V6 engine, smooth ride, great handling, and i love the color combination! I am a college student and travel a lot. I believe that the Accord will last longer than my Monte Carlo did. If you are looking for a car, this is the one to get. TRUST ME. Looks great, drives great, and the fuel is great. Great job Honda.

  Accord is King - 2009 Honda Accord
  By sunmoonroof - January 19 - 10:43 am

  This is my second Accord. I love this one too! Im sold on the Accords reliability and resale value. The interior is very upscale. Well designed with plenty of room. The 4 cylinder makes more power than I expected. Grill area of the car looks great. The tailight area could be improved. Looks great as a coupe, but the sedan looks weak from the rear. Road noise is more than I expected. Stereo is ok, but could be better. The fit and finish is top notch.

  Sweet Ride - 2007 Honda Accord
  By Dave - January 19 - 7:53 am

  Roomy and stylish interior with simple controls, tight build quality, smooth ride, refined drive trains, excellent crash test scores, Hondas strong reputation for reliability, high resale value and no sales tax for my hybrid in CT. The car rides like a $40,000 car, I love it! Feels and drives like a much more expensive car than the Toyota Camry. Way more engine horsepower & torque than the wimpish I4 Camry but not quite as thrifty on the gas. The V6 performance and higher quality road manners is worth it over the Camry plus mid 30s MPG- Very happy!

  worth the wait - 2005 Honda Accord
  By satutoring - January 19 - 7:26 am

  Just picked up my Accord yesterday and I am very happy with my choice. I had owned a Subaru WRX and was going to get another Subaru, but for the value, features, performance and reliability, you just cant beat the Accord. I got a great deal on an 05 with nav (it was the last one at this particular dealership) and it was a great snag. Ill miss the AWD of the Subaru but Im glad I chose the V6 over the turbo 4.

  2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 - 2004 Honda Accord
  By jeka - January 17 - 10:00 am

  As a family of mostly Toyota products including Lexus. This is our first Honda. We test drove many cars before deciding on the the Accord. We looked at the Toyota Corolla and Camry and Volkswagon Jetta, but liked the roomy interior and quietness of the Accord. Thsi car just felt right in all areas. We chose the V-6 over the 4cy - the extra power is worth the couple of miles per gallon overall. With slow break in - Our mileage is around 32mpg. The side air bags in the front & back are a must! Especially with children.

  Awesome Sedan - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Jason Goldman - January 17 - 10:00 am

  My family just purchased a 2004 honda accord v-6 sedan. We love it. It rides very smooth and is always comfortable. We sprung for the extra option by spreading the wood across the dash. We chose this car over the BMW 3-Series and are glad we did. We love everything about it. Everything from the smooth ride to the XM satelitte radio to the armrest in the back seat. WE LOVE THIS CAR! My family previously had a 98 Accord and we like the 04 Accord better.

  Good decision so far - 2004 Honda Accord
  By ShelbyJason - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Purchased mostly due to high ratings across the board & Honda reliability although we purchased extended warranty after owning a Grand Cherokee. Exterior appearance is nice and comparable to luxury sedans for the price. Accord is sporty but also suited for family. Un- lit steering controls not a big deal once you get used to them. Wouldnt suggest the black interior since it always looks dirty and I like clean, but thats what silver comes with. Hard to rate reliability at this point but Ive owned a Civic for 6 years and have never had any problems. Test drove the Camry-made us feel like old people. Also Mazda-6- didnt like it or the dealership.

  Purchased 4 months ago, Follow-up Review - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Jay - January 16 - 9:33 pm

  Ive owned the car for 4 months (4K miles) (See "This car has it all" review posted in March). Im very happy with my purchase so far. Im getting about 27 mpg, mostly highway and some city). Im glad I purchased the 4 cy. to save in gas. However, it doesnt handle like the 6cy. I recently drove a 4 Dr 4cy 2006 Accord and it corners a little better than my coupe. Acceleration is better than the 4dr and for the size of engine especially with Super in the tank. The interior design is the best part of the car. The car also handles very well on the highway and isnt bumpy The exterior design gets a lot of compliments. Havent had one issue with this car. Oil changes every 5k miles
