  • Good family car - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    Overall I like the car. The inside is roomy and comfortable, I have plenty of leg room and even with a car seat placed in the middle back seat, we can still seat 2 adults behind. The ride is smooth but you can definitely hear the road on the highway. What I would say is that I am not impressed by the acceleration. That is something I will definitely consider next time I shop for a car.

  • Love it...my 6th one!!! - 2015 Honda Accord

    Shop around and get one with good mileage and well taken care of. It definitely pays off in the long run especially if you plan to keep it more than 4 or 5 years. Makes for a good trade-in on a NEW one!!

  • Livable - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    I purchased this car 7 months ago in the summer. When I first purchased it I thought it would be a dream to drive. I did not even test drive it because I had gotten a loaner car from the service center some months ago and found it to be a great car. Here are the things I did not notice. First off, the CVT. On paper, its great (fuel economy and good performance). I have grown used to it and I barely notice it anymore. However, if the temperature is below 40 degrees (which it frequently is in CT during the winter) you will notice immediately that it sounds as if you are driving a lawn mower. To get any reasonable amount of movement the transmission and the engine work together to make it almost impossible to get to thirty mph in a reasonable amount of time. You will find yourself going to 4000 rpm just to move from a stop. Luckily for me that stops after the engine warms up a bit. And another thing about the transmission. If you need power fast, for whatever emergency purpose the engine gets confused. When you floor it, you will feel acceleration and hear the engine, but about 4 second later the transmission changes its mind about something and you feel a powerful jolt of power. The interior is nicely made and pleasant. The bluetooth audio feature and pandora feature are amazing. I have an iPhone 5s and the car cant seem to use the text message feature with my phone for whatever reason. The FM/AM radio sucks. You could be in the center of NYC and be getting a static signal. The speakers and sound system overall is good when you use bluetooth audio or AUX. You can tell that it struggles when you raise the volume however. Road noise. Goodness, sometimes I check my mirrors to see if a freight train is coming around the corner because of the obnoxious noises I can hear from the inside of the car on the highway. One good thing I will acknowledge is highway control. In windy conditions or rainy whatever it may be, you will never get blown around. The car will stay planted. Fuel mileage. I was originally amazing at the MPG I got when I first got the car, 40MPG on the highway back from the dealer. Then I got home. I live in the winding, hilly dangerous roads of southwestern CT. When this car sees a hill, you can kiss your MPG away. I average 22 Mpg around my town. I am not a particularly fast driver either. The car will get you up that hill (and with speed if youd like) but Ive seen an MPG rating of 33 on the highway flip to 13 as I come into my town. Use this car on a flat surface. Snow driving. I will admit, I like to have fun in the snow with my cars but this car doesnt. A rear wheel drive car will eat up corners in the snow but this car just says no and stays planted. No matter how hard you throw it into the corner at any speed (within reason) with any amount of snow on the ground, the tires keep pulling you to safety. Heartbreaking, but I suppose necessary. Today I was forced to drive home from work in a blizzard with four inches of snow on untreated roads. At first I panicked, but the car got me home safely. I even stopped for milk. Speaking of traction, there are some circumstances where I will be surprised the car cant seem to get traction. From a stop making a sharp left turn in the rain, I can find sometimes that a wheel will spin and traction control will engage. Speaking of traction control, the car makes a noise when you start to drive. So imagine, you start the car and drive away and then when you reach 10 mph you hear a "DUNGGGG" under the car. No idea what it is, no lose in power. No error lights...nothing. Then winter came and I was trying to spin the car out in a parking lot and I noticed that when the traction control comes on it makes that same noise continuously till the traction control is no longer needed. A continuous "DUNNGGGGGGGGGG". The last problem Ive found is in the headlights. They are pretty bright for a Honda, gotta be honest. A sisters 2009 CR-V had the worst headlights ever and I was worried I would be cursed with blindness while driving at night like her. I was idling in a parking lot waiting for my friend in the grocery store one summer night and I noticed every time the compressor for the air conditioning came on the lights would dim slightly and then get brighter. At first I figured, "well that couldnt be an actual problem, a compressor uses a lot of energy probably". Then in the winter when the compressor wasnt coming on and it kept happening I started to get angry. I looked at the brake lights as it idled and even those dim with the headlights at random intervals. I dont know if this was designed this way by Honda or if the headlights are just simply using so much power that it taxes the alternator too much. Im not sure what it is but it is infuriating. Im looking into getting the touring LED headlights installed simply because of how much it irritates me. Uncomfortable seats, cant get comfortable. I cant see half the speedometer most of the time.

  • Worst Honda Ive ever owned. - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my 3rd Honda and by far the worst. Loud air conditioning whistling when its hot outside. Fan replaced but did not correct the problem. Hard vibration when stopped and in drive. Dealer claimed it was due to a broken engine & transmission mount, which was replaced. This did not correct the problem. It is worse than ever and now Im being blown off by the service department because they cant figure it out. Check fuel cap light and check tire light comes on frequently and goes off by itself. Im furious that I bought this car ( new ) . Getting ready to start a Lemon Law Claim.

  • 1998 better than 2015 - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    Do not like the headlights on low beam that sharply cutoff the top of light beam and reduce visibility, this is especially bad when going downhill and then the road rises quickly. You cannot see the roadway ahead. My 1998 Honda Accord had a much better ride. The 2015 Accord ride is jarring, stiff and transmits every small bump to the passengers. I have had small sport cars that have had a more pleasant ride. Lumber wagon is the best way to describe the ride. The heater controls and radio controls are needlessly complicated. Where one knob could control the heater, there are three! On/Off, Speed Up, Speed Down. Each is distracting, you have to take your eyes off the road to use/find them. It is a safety hazard just as bad as someone texting while driving. Knobs are easy to use, and do not require that you take your eyes off the road to use them. The radio also, has too many buttons, where one multi-function knob would do. My 1998 Accord had a multi-level center console, which made holding small items convenient, and a soft-touch cover over the cup holders, which made for a more tidy appearance. Also, the courtesy/safety lights on all the four doors that were on the 1998 Accord, were not on this higher priced version, even though there are cutouts on the doors where they were intended to be placed. Road noise is still a problem for Honda to solve. I once owned a 1986 Toyota Cambry, and it was way more quiet than this 2015, or even the 1998. Also,one last item: Honda has to do something about the car colors they offer! Boring is and understatement. Look at the Ford red, and then at the pathetic, washed out red?? offered by Honda. Limited interior color choices and the sad attempt to suggest woodgrain accents on the dash, with only dull black plastic, dose not carry the image of even pretend luxury, for cars that can cost up $38,000+. Doubt if I would buy another Accord.

  • Dont expect any bells or whistles without leather - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    We bought the EX, one step up from the LX. We did not want leather seats. Unfortunately, without leather, the cars does not have the niceties which are standard on seemingly every other car on the market: XM radio; homelink garage opener; several USB ports; several cupholders; automatic day/night rearview mirror (a $300+ option). While the comfort and build quality far exceeds that of our 2012 Altima (which is loaded with options), I really miss the bells and whistles.

  • First Honda - wont be last - 2015 Honda Accord
    By -

    I have always been a GM (Pontiac) car guy. My last 3 vehicles were Grand Prix. Then GM in their wisdom decided to discontinue the Pontiac line. I didnt know what I was going to replace my GP with when it came time to buy a new (used) car. Then my wife stumbled upon an ad for a 2015 Honda Accord with only 2600 miles. We were sure it was a misprint but went to check it out. Sure enough ... a 2 yr old car with only 2600 miles. Several family members have had Hondas without any problems EVER... seemed like it was the thing to do. This car has more bells and whistles on it than I know what to do with. It rides and handles like a sports car. Hugs the turns / road... the mileage is AMAZING (so far in the city Im getting 31mpg). I have to say - I dont miss my GP at all and GM has lost me as a customer for life. Another plus is Hondas are built in my home state (and most of the American mfr are now importing their parts from Mexico, Canada and across the ocean). This car is a win / win for me. By the way - I listed maintenance cost as only "ok" but thats only because I havent had to do any maintenance on it yet. My son (auto technician) assures me - it wont be much.
