    • @djoetma
      @djoetma Před 6 lety +1

      I think they'll save that type of powertrain for the Acura in this size segment...
      I mean, the last Accord Type-R was from the 6th generation which was only for Europe. This was also the generation where Honda started to split everything. There were three different versions; For the Americas, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, Then one for Japan and lastly one for Europe (Africa? And was Russia, Europe or Asia? No idea).
      The 7th generation was in Europe what in the US became known as the Acura TSX, which also was the last Accord we ever got here. Honda's selling the Civic sedan as their option for the D-segment.

  • @dextersmithbsee
    @dextersmithbsee Před 6 lety +3

    I test drove the 1.5T and the 2.0T back-to-back. Obviously the 2.0T is the more powerful choice . I also love the 10-speed auto in the 2.0T vs. the CVT in the 1.5T. If you drive them back-to-back as I did, you will find that the 1.5T/CVT feels as if it has something holding it back (horsepower, transmission perhaps?), while the 2.0T/10-speed auto felt vigorously willing and able. If you can afford the 2.0T/10-speed auto version in any trim, I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this configuration.

    Great review again. I'm impressed with the features of new Accord but the outside is unique. The part that bothers me about the front is the top part of the grille, it seems flat and bulbous at the same time. The scenery in the background is beautiful.

    Well-appointed Accords have been nearly as good as any Acura since 2000. If you don't need the bleeding edge design / features, prestige of Acura or wish to throw your money at a depreciating asset, then Accords are an awesome option.

    • @xfiringsquadx
      @xfiringsquadx Před 5 lety

      Acura does not have bleeding edge design. They haven't even adopted the new platform yet. Acura is actually quite a few years behind Honda. Their excuse is that they are sticking to what works. I think they're lazy.

  • @sycosys91
    @sycosys91 Před 6 lety +3

    The 1.5T in the accord does not have conventional VTEC(variable valve lift) It is an almost identical motor to the one in the new CR-V. I believe Honda is calling their variable valve timing "VTEC" as a marketing ploy.

    • @TheStraightPipes

    IMHO, Acura doesn't need any help from this Accord (or any other vehicle) to make it irrelevant, it is doing a fine job all by itself already. This new Accord, does make the Mazda 6 irrelevant, though. Now the only thing the 6 has going for it is the pretty looks.

    • @InvictusRed1911
      @InvictusRed1911 Před 6 lety +3

      Seriously. I saw Acura at the NYC Auto Show and they're STILL using an infotainment system from the era of "Speak a specific command into this thing or it won't work because it can't pick up on context". It's sad that even though the TLX finally got Android Auto in the 2018 model, it's woefully behind the times and the Accord just keeps getting better. Heck, I thought the 2016 Accords were great, and now the new gen is giving us Driving Assist features STANDARD?! Even with the MT!? Ugh, at this point I give up on Acura. If I want AWD, I'd be better off getting an Accord for myself and a HRV/CRV for my spouse.

I would be interested in seeing your review of the "almost type-R engine" Accord with the manual. As good as this car is, I would hope the 2018 Acura TLX is still better. If not, Acura needs to step it up fast.

    • @TheStraightPipes

    • @skirmich
      @skirmich Před 6 lety +2

      Acura really needs to step up its shit.... The TLX desperately needs +320HP to be competitive right now, They even drop the ball on the A-Spec which should be the excellent opportunity to update the power and ditch that horrible ZF9 Speed in favor of the 10 Speed.

    • @MelloHubb
      @MelloHubb Před 6 lety +2

      Nathan Johnson the accord and civic does shit on the tlx and ilx for sure.. But with Honda's new president and promise to bring back Honda's and acuras roots and more premium vehicles we now see the changes. The NSX has returned along with the civic type r. We now have turbo charged motors in the accord, civic and crv that are dominating their segment. There is a twin turbo motor in development for their cars under 60k. The new rdx is the first Acura not designed by the bean counters. Which is why it's so much more impressive than the current acuras. I would wait to see the next gen of acuras line up before closing the book on them.

    • @InvictusRed1911
      @InvictusRed1911 Před 6 lety +2

      I'd love to see a full review. I'm getting conflicting reports but it looks like the MT 2.0T doesn't have the revmatching feature of the Type-R, and there's a weird overlap. Like, I'm reading that it's the Touring model that has the adjustable dampers/sport mode, but the Sport trim is the only one with the MT. If the Sport had adjustable dampers, I'd get it in a heartbeat, but it looks like I'll have to get the 10-speed Touring and flip it to Sport mode when my gf isn't in the car :P

    • @TheStraightPipes
      @TheStraightPipes  Před 6 lety

      +Renaldo Johnson the manual 2.0T did not have Rev matching. Or we couldn't find it. It was a pre production model though. I believe you are correct and the Sport MT does not have adjustable dampers. When we drove the Sport MT, there was no sport button. The sport button is what changes the dampers on the Touring

The manual was great and am planning to go purchase it this Saturday, the auto did have a sport button though if that helps as it wasn't touring model and definitely remember the salesman hitting sport mode button during my test drive so it is offered in the sport auto but was not a feature for the manual sport which is odd I know

      As I mentioned, it sounded hilarious because it was so directly counter-intuitive based on how you were praising the car. Of course there are plenty of cars that I like and I really wouldn't buy, but that is mostly because there is something about the car that doesn't do what I am looking for. If it does everything that I'm looking for, then I would probably admit that I would buy it. Based on the review content, there was really nothing that either of you identified that suggested you wouldn't buy it. Had you mentioned something, it would have been less of a surprise.

    With 41.2 cubic feet of cargo space, the Passport can hold plenty of gear. There's also an underfloor storage area that's divided in plastic bins that can be used to hide the occasional shopping bags or tools. EX-L and above get a power tailgate, while Touring and Elite are equipped with a hands-free sensor to open the tailgate. Second-row seats fold completely flat in a 60/40 configuration and can easily be folded from the cargo area or the second row. With the seats down, the Passport's cargo space expands to 77.9 cubic feet.
