- It's not hard to see why the Accord sells so well, it's well priced, fun to drive, reliable, efficient, and now it's also well equipped if you select the new HondaSensing package of safety systems. But does that allow the Accord to stay on top? Let's find out.

I have to admit Alex, you give the most comprehensive reviews of cars I've ever seen on CZcams! Your information is relevant, accurate and helpful. Thanks for the work you do.
The best Accord models ever made
To call this a thorough review would be an understatement. Well done!
Instablaster.
I saw this on the road on the other day and thought it was something a lot more expensive. It turned out to be an Accord. I think Honda did a great job on the styling!
Most comprehensive reviews on the Internet today!
I'd take this over the 2018 - present models. It's just better looking. And you still get the V6 and the coupe, which I like.
In 1985 I bought a new accord for a little over 11.000.00 dollars….and even back then it was a an amazing car for the day. 34mpg on the Hwy, a little under powered, but a great car.
Just got a v6 in this one. Love it
How long did it last you?

Great review. My wife and I have been test driving cars in this segment. Our favorite two were the Accord and Mazda 6. It was very close, but we chose the Accord. The black leather interior on the EX-L is super nice.
Gur814 Still liking it? I'm leaning toward the EXL too. Do you find the 4 cylinder has enough power?
This is probably really late lol, but my parents have had a 2014 Accord EX (with the 4 cyl. and CVT) and it has plenty of pep. Not to mention the fact that Brian Cooley thought it was a 6 the first time he drove it ...
@mike E Your comment is the first I've heard about this. Pretty concerning, but we haven't had any issues with ours at all. Just had its second oil change last week. It's been a completely problem free car, mechanically speaking. Ours is fairly low mileage still though. A little over 20,000 miles.
Also, sorry for missing your comment 3 years ago, Austin. Never got a notification for it. ☹️ We've been very happy with it so far. It has plenty of power for a family sedan. More than I was expecting. But is by no means a performance car.
It has a small wind noise on the driver's window when above 45mph. Dealer improved it but couldn't fix all the way. Not a big deal, I barely notice it anymore. It also has 3 minor interior rattles. Those are expected after a few years, especially on the poor roads near our house.
Bought a 2016 3 weeks ago. 6 cylinder EXL and just love it. Years ago had a 1988 civic, which kept me from taking any Honda for a test drive, but once I did, no reason to drive anything else for me.
crystalpersuasion148 still liking it? gas mileage? I'm only asking because I'm considering the same model.
Great detailed review! Even though I have zero interest in ever owning this car, it was a great watch.
Love the accord, got myself a 2016 sport last week Canadian model, love every bit of it.
Are you still loving your 2016 Accord Sport? Has it been reliable so far?
@@exotics5721 Very reliable, just oil changes so far. I upgraded to the 2.0l t sport though.
Maybe I missed it, but I'll mention that my EX-L came with remote start (you Westies probably don't care but it's a requirement in the cold, cold winters in the Midwest). I also got the V6 which makes this "family" car quite a little hot rod and puts a smile on your face. Loved your videos since the early days (before the name change).
Marvelous job! I really enjoyed you providing review of the car and comparison to its competitions at the end. Allows viewers to make a more informed decision. Truly a wonderful way to review cars. Thank you!
Having owed the Touring version of the Accord Hybrid now for about a year and a half I can say we love it. Sure it gets great mileage but it's the very linear pull from the engine/motor combo that appeals so much. It's quiet inside, has a sporty feel with great visibility all around. I'm 6'8" and with the driver's seat all the way back we still sit adults behind me. A downside to the Hybrid is the reduced truck space but it's been fine for us. Sad to hear it's taking a break for '16 but I had also heard that its production was being moved to Japan. Hopefully it makes a return so that more people can enjoy the fine car that it is.
We're also waiting on the 2016 CIVIC Review!!! Great Review, just a little long but still great!!
omg this is thee best review ever! i have to rewatch the other half omg he actually compares this car to the toyota camry which is my only other option car. i only wanted a camry and now im gearing towards an accord, and im completely sold on an accord now, i have saved this to rewatch later thank you
Alex, this is a great overall and in depth review of the Accord. My wife and I have watched most of the other vids but yours is the best. Keep up the great work. Thanks....
You are sooooooo good at doing reviews. Goodness! Way to go, Alex. I enjoy watching your reviews of vehicles I don't even like or care about.
I still can't find anything that beats the interior of my '09 F150 Lariat. That is just perfect
ok
Nice in depth review, thanks ! There are bunch of videos you will find on CZcams, but yours is way ahead of others, I like the way you pay attention to the details in comparing with direct competitors , tx!
Alex you're the best! Can't get enough of your reviews! Each one is jusyt great! Man, you're a damn god example of professionalism, thank you for your work!
Nice not hearing that awful intro noise of newer videos
Great review, super informative and necessary information. You tell me exactly what I want to know.
Just bought the EX-L. Love it and better looking in person.
Alex is such a great car reviewer!
Fantastic review! brilliant work. subscribed!
Great Review. You did a awesome job.
The best channel on the other side of the Ocean !
Alex, you cover a lot, whew. I am glad we are not forced to buy all the electronic nanny's like the sensing system. I drive fine, it's the other one's I worry about. De-contented is actually good for many of us!
Slap an A on this and you just bought yourself an Acura. Congratulations!
you just have too pinch the top of the H.
Alex is the best on CZcams car review, but I don't agree the accord is not on the first place on its segment. it is the best.
Great review. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
I hope the new Accord comes soon with the new infotainment set up from the new Civic. Will always have a soft spot for honda.
Thanks Alex another very informative and helpful review,kerp up the great work! I was hoping your going to be doing a review on the 2016 Honda civic, is that coming up soon?
I own a 9th gen 2015 v6 touring. Best car ever
Hi Alex! Love your videos. They are really informative. I'm considering one of the new Nissan Maximas. Any chance you'll do a review of that one?
Fantastic reviews as always, so very smart.
options that are almost notoriously omitted in youtube car reviews, Subwoofer, Led side mirrors, rear air vents. or even the rear vents under the seats in some base models.
It's sad to see that even a 4-cylinder Accord is faster than the automatic BRZ/FR-S!
Toyota and Subaru really need to upgrade the power on that car ASAP!!
Once again, a very good fully detailed review, good job. Now it is time for you to do the same withe the civic 2016.
Great review Alex; If there's one thing not addressed is Honda's decision to use same wheels on a touring and sports models. As a current touring owner I'm puzzled as why they would use same wheels, not include wireless charger as in Canadian mode being there's a great price of almost 10K. I did however test drove Camery, Sonata, Audi, Cadillac and MBZ. Over all I ended up buying the Accord as it gave more bang for the buck. As as for Honda sensing,,, I myself don't feel there's any difference than in normal drive mode. I'm also puzzled they didn't include a simple 3.5 MP 3 input in touring model but do in lower end.
I have to agree with you regarding the new grill designed up front. The large chrome on front make it looks like the 2012 Honda Civic. LOL
My wife has the Touring model with the jewel LEDs, V6 and 19" wheels. Very fun car to drive, damn good V6 engine and plenty visibility. The tech in that car is nice, great car.
+I Finn I have one (2016) too. It's so smooth... smoother than my wife's 2013 Acura and way more than my EX-L 2006 Coupe. I've had it just over 3 months and I'm finally getting used to all the new tech over my 2006.
Excellent thorough review. Thanks!
Pretty solid refresh from Honda. Great review Alex, can't wait till you get your hands on the MX5!
Been waiting for the 2016 Accord review. Great as always
Great video. Would love to see how the Accord compares to the new 2016 Honda Civic.
nice review as usual, keep it up. Btw, if you have some chances, please try to make a review for the new BMW 340i
Love your reviews as well!
Great review as always. One small clarification: I think the "wood" trim was new on this refresh. I would have liked that on my 2014 EX-L but it wasn't available.
Great review! But I am surprised that you rated accord lower than the Kia...I am in Canada and here it seems like accord is packaged better than the Korean for 2016 models. BTW looking forward to the nissan review.
+Shuai Yu Ya the Canadian sport package comes with moon roof, car play, remote star, keyless entry, blind spot camera, and 7 speaker system with sub woofer. Great Value in the 2016 Sport for just over 29k
+A town $1000 difference between Sport with sensing and EX-L. I would prefer the EX-L...I hate 19-inch wheels and I like the leather surface, better fuel economy plus heated front&rear seats (Canada...). So personally, I think EX-L is the better package for me :)
i bought a 2016 Accord Touring V6 and it in fact has a trunk handle on the inside. it is on the passenger side. i do not know if it is only included in the touring or you just missed it.
I would love to see a review on the honda crosstour. I love your videos and you are ALWAYS my go to but I am not seeing a crosstour video and am thinking of buying one but want your opinion! Thanks!!
Katie Devolve it was discontinued
7 years ago, I try to buy a 16' Honda Accord.
I hope they bring it back to Europe for the 2018 model.
normal, low or lower haha loved that
Hi Alex. Good review. Can you please do a review of the 2016 Nissan Maxima as well?
Alex, thanks again for the wonderful detailed review. Is the adaptive cruise with full stop feature? Can we use adaptive cruise control in bumper to bumper traffic? I know isight lets us do it. Is there any other radar cc which lets us use in stop and go traffic? A comparison video among the different systems would be great.
+tirthb It is full speed range
+karthik11512 Thanks Karthik. I was thinking of getting a civic with same package.
@Shuffle3956 not gonna lie i thought i'd care about ths feature but i really didn't after driving it for years
Informative review. Thanks.
Please do a Accord 6-6
Alex- I'm debating on picking up the EX-L vs the Sport. Any comments/suggestions on pros and cons for each or in essence, which would you recommend?
Exl
I like how he said for more excelleration get a chrysler 200 with v6 0-60 5.8 when a honda accord v6 also does 0-60 5.7 so just get that.
Great review, as always, Alex. We own a 2013 Accord EX with the CVT (my wife's car); I find the new Accord's look to be overwrought. As for best looking car in this segment, my vote goes to the Mazda 6, and I prefer how it drives as well over the Accord.
Both optima and sonata has steering drifting safety issue and requires driver's constant correction since 2013 model that the manufacturer is not prepared to answer. We will see more and more electronically related issues like this in the future now that everyone is moving to drive by wire system.
+teetee tee That used to be the case for the 2011 model but many reviewers said that they corrected that issue with this new year model.
+jorge romani Check out the complaints on NHTSA for the 2015 Optima, 9 out of 17 are steering related:
www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchResults?prodType=V&searchType=PROD&targetCategory=A&searchCriteria.model=OPTIMA&stats=1978675%2C0%2C0%2C17%2C3%2COPTIMA&makeStats=&jsonBaseURL=%2Fdownloads%2Ffolders%2F&searchCriteria.model_yr=2015&searchCriteria.make=KIA&searchCriteria.prod_ids=1978675
We can debate if 9 complaints out of the sales numbers is statistically significant, but the fact that half total complaints for 2015 model are steering related says something. If this issue was seen in 2011 that means there are at least four years of history that this safety related issue is not being answered or recalled.
I think KIA and Hyundai mid size cars are good value and they provide good warranty but I would not put them on my shopping list knowing they have safety concerns which is not addressed by the manufacturer.
We look foreword to your full review of the 2018 Accord.
Great video!
just wondering about the screen for the back up camera.
You stated the upper screen is for the nav...but hopefully the back up is high up as well.
I loved the review and think this car would certainly be a buy.
However, I think you shorted the Mazda6 as a comparison. Drove one around LA this past month and wasn't that impressed with the engine lag. Hopefully this one was better.
when testing Hondas do you turn on the ECO button?
Why is the accord not being compared to the Mazda 6 at the end of this segment?
john Frugoni because there isn't enough time to comment on all the options and the Mazda is the 12th in sales in the segment so cross shops don't show up high on the list.
one more great review from you... quick question.. if you were the one buying aa midsize sedan, Which vehicle would you get, aside from the AWD of the Legacy, Fusion, and 200C
Can you review the new Civic too?
Greetings from NY / Ottawa Canada
Honda make that accord V6 an option for the new CR-V!
+stockjonebills never gonna happen. they want you to spend the upgrade to the RDX, which actually isn't that much more for all that you get. hurry and buy it before they switch to all I4 turbo motors in the future.
ugh turbo 4's
Does the Sport have different (firmer) suspension over the EX? Considering the Accord Sport MT with 6sp. and like a firmer suspension and will be comparing vs. Mazda 6 in Touring trim. Awesome job on the very complete review!!
killer reviews!
No mention of the mazda 6? It's cheaper and more economical than the rest of the segment.
+TheShale187 I generally try and limit comparison to the top models in terms of volume or the most frequently cross-shopped. The Mazda 6 however much I like it (and I do) it 14th in sales.
Ah I see. Keep up the great work.
alex i enjoy your thorough reports, question do you believe that the accord needs a breaking in period ? and if so what do you recommend . I have just purchased a 2017 ex sensing .
@7:36: Sentence correction, “That wood might be a good imitation, but keep in mind the chrysler 200 DOES offer real wood trim “
Hi, Alex, can you please do a review on the 2016 Accord V6 Touring? I just want to know your thoughts on that V6 engine and how that changes the various ratings as I remember that the Civic Touring model received very different ratings from you compared to the base model of that car. Thanks!
Please do a review on the 2016 honda civic!
Very good video.👍🏿👍
Thanks for that info.
I need facts from some Accord owners. I'm torn between the Accord I4 or the V6. I really want the V6 but I don't want to sacrifice gas mileage just for power. I want the V6 because of the LED Headlights. I currently drive a 99 Toyota Camry and my gas mileage estimates are 23/29. (I get really good gas mileage, in my opinion, and from my experience. My car is a 4 cylinder.) I realized if I get the Accord V6 I would still get better gas mileage than my current car, since the Accord V6 advertises 21/32, and sometimes 21/34. The only problem is, a friend of mine drives an accord 4 cylinder and she said she's actually getting Accord V6 mileage. She's averaging low 20s in the city and high 20s/low 30s on the highway. I'm sure this is because of how she drives and other conditions. I realize that if this is true and I buy a V6, there's a huge chance I will get even worse gas mileage. I don't want to buy the V6 and regret it. So, what mileage is everyone actually getting with their 4 cylinder Accords or V6 Accords?
Evan Doucet check my channel. i have a V6 the best gas mileage ive attained on the highway is 43. the V6 is made for hwy driving. if youre doing mostly city get the 4cylinder accord.
Get the V6! Although the 4 cyln and the V6 look the same, they are 2 complete different cars is terms of driving, handling, breaking etc. With the V6 you get fast acceleration, decent torque, precise steering. And yeah the 4 cyln is more economic but not by that much. The lower mpg numbers compensate for a much better driving experience, very comparable to much more expensive premiun cars.
K24 4cyl is a legendary engine
Hi! I'm shopping for my first car. Im 17 and I want something that is classy and restrained. This is my favorite looking midsize sedan. In my opinion, the Passat, Accord and Altima are the best looking sedans available in the class. Which of these 3 would you recommend? Other options? I don't like the way the Mazda 6 or Ford Fusion look but I would be open to other options. Thanks
Did the sample you drove have the two-valve dampers that heretofore were on HA- Hybrids? Wondering if those and other possible suspension changes have made the Accord significantly better as far as ride over the previous model. Also, if I am correct, the new car doesn't offer any blind-spot monitoring other than the right-side camera.
+Ronald Coniglio those dampers are only available on the top of the line Touring model. They work but the problem is the Touring has the low profile tires so this alone introduces a lot of harshness in the ride. Real world usage isn't reported to be that much better, although you could easily opt to mount higher profile tires that could give you a much better ride.
come on man, don't show the 4 cylinder. show the v6 model, that thing is so nice, nobody is going to get a 4 cylinder anyways
hey Alex, wish you could do some videos for vw and subaru.
Hello
I want to buy a new car and I am between 2016 Honda Accord Coupe Touring V6 & 2016 Acura TLX SH_AWD Fully loaded.
any suggestions? ?
Alex, an excellent review -- as always. A few things. Like you, I find the new front grill a bit more likable in person, but it's just too close to the Acura "beak" for me to really like. Second, how would you rank the new Accord vis-a-vis the Mazda 6? Finally, I'd be very interested in a Touring version with the 4 cylinder engine; any idea whether that will be offered?
Thanks again.
+Jim MacMurdo If I may throw in my personal opinion, the 2016 Mazda 6 is a piece of art. While it may not by Toyota/Honda-level reliable, it looks great, handles better, and feels much higher-end inside than nearly any other vehicle in its price range.
Hi Jim, The Touring trim is only offered with a 4 cylinder in Canada (etc.). In the USA, the only engine at this time for the 2016 is a V6. My Touring is supposed to arrive this week and the V6 is really peppy compared to the 4 cylinder. Also the V6 gets just 3 miles less on the Hwy with it's Variable Cylinder Management. To be honest though, it's 51/49 for me and I would get the 4 cylinder engine if the USA had it - but the nicer/plusher features make it all OK. :-)
Is the CVT more reliable in the Honda Accord than the Nissan Altima?
lightly used Accord or lightly used Kia optima SX?
with reliability and cost/ease of repairs being the main factor
+chris s why not just get a civic. you could save a lot of money over the bigger accord
I got my accord a month ago, by far the best car I got. More features...
Don't go with the optima please, if u buy it, it'll be a huge problem, 2016 ones spare parts (genuine) are hard to get and that car has many complaints.
optima still 5 year warranty
tete Bbb stupid less resale value car, accord nd camry still better :p
Honda. Kias and Hyundais don't come with spare tires.
can u explane or show how to instaler.. for a accord 2015
I would like to see your review for Accord v6 coupe. thanks
Hi Alex! Are you gonna do a review of the 2016 Civic 1.5 litre turbo soon?
Seems like with the bigger and nicer 2016 Civic they could lose some of their Accord sales....especially since that turbo is basically the same HP as the base 2.4 but with ( supposedly) better fuel economy...
+MrKikoboy Either way Honda is bringing in the $$$.
I'm interested in the 2018 Accords. When can we expect a review of the latest model from Alex?
🤢🤢😷😷😷
please review benz glc if possible， thanks
Hey Alex, Request you to do the review of Accord LX 2016. Thanks
+Aditya Apte It would kinda be a redundant review since he's mainly reviewing the 2016 Accord in general. It just so happens that the one he's reviewing is the EX-L
Hi, is the dash plastic shiny or dull/matte? Thanks!
You should review the 2016 VW Passat se/w technology
Smh. That car is three years old. Open up the present and stop living in the past.
Accord coupe is almost gone and you haven't done a review on it? Hello Alex?
