Flash forward 3 years later, the Touring 2.0T is a great value used
honda never ceases to imppress me, its already 2018 and it still uses stick shift. a legend that never dies.
I've owned Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, Acura, Chevrolet, Volkswagen...etc. All have their selling points. Honda however, continues to shake-up the industry with these class-leading redo's. The Civic...WOWOWOW. Now the Accord. Great job Honda. I currently drive a 2016 ILX A-Spec. Great ride, but when the 2018 Accord is in the showroom, I'm off to the dealer.
Dale Hutchinson wack
Did you get it though?
@@Diwash1 Well - My Acura got totalled in an accident. I bought the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. One of the best cars ever owned. !!!
The more i look at it the more i appreciate the looks of the car. That white one looks stunning
Lenoe123 I agree
and white is--the color most likely to NOT be hit by another car. It is THE safety color.
Same I agree
Hooray for the 6MT being available with the upgraded motor! Not just the base model.
I got one of these. 2019 2.0T. This thing is amazingly fast! It's like a hidden gem.
Chris - how has reliability been? I've read issues about transmission and electrical glitches.
I have the 2.0 L and it is fast without sport mode. No issues, and I drive a ton.
John Nguyen, I know someone who bought a new Accord with 2.0T engine in 2018...after a year engine would stall...ended up in the shop for 2 wks to overhaul engine! Don’t think Hondas are as reliable as in the past
@@johnnguyen1972 I've owned it over a year now. No issues with anything other than realizing this car could benefit from a LSD.
@@ztekz I wonder this too because of the turbo.
Beautiful inside & out. I'll get the 1.5L turbo in the most expensive trim with head-up-display. Quality material in the interior and plenty nice exterior. Beats the heck out of the 2018 Camry. In my mind, Toyota has cheapened the Toyotal line & especially their Lexus brand.
Digging the new look! It's gonna be a hit when people see it in person.
Christa Urhot :
Justin David I'm sure I'll have an uber in one soon and get a better feel. My thoughts as of now: the lower seating is questionable if close 2 the new civic. While I'd prefer it, the masses of people who are looking for a family car makes me wonder. My folks got a new camry (highest trim thats wasn't v6) which left me disappointed for what it's going for as well as vs my brothers current gen v6 camry. Like the lack of comfort. Oh those leather seats w/ adj lumbar are subpar both in comfort & soft leathery feel. Especially compared to new nissans I've been in which imo are best comfort in class.
Looking at the fuel econ, the 2.0 accord doesn't look good vs the Camry @22/32 vs 28/38 but it's got more hp/tq & has to feel (and be) quicker over the 4banger in the Camry which when flooring was anemic. even though it's not a cvt & has ~200hp/tq.
Inside I'm fairly confident I can give the edge (or more) to the accord vs the camry. Sure things feel well put together in the camry but it's not at the quality I would have hoped (quasi lexus) & not at current mazda, higher trim kia or nissan (for the most part)
High(est) trim accords have had ~ acura level which looks to be the case here.
Outside those full led headlights I think set it apart from the pack & like the refreshed design. All in all seems like a good all around family car but can't help think that they couldn't go all out because stepping on the heels of the stagnant acura .
LMAO
Ill hit it with my 17 touring. Will look better that way.
Not really bro
Wow, so much information in such a short amount of time. Great video my man
agreed... BC is a cool reviewer... no nonsense tell it like it is type of dude. no sugar coating or lame excuses. need more like him.
"Ugly at no charge!" -- BC
Although I'm not referring to this Accord.
I'll say this again just like in the other videos, the 2.0T is underrated as well as the 1.5T. Gorgeous car. White 2.0T with 6 speed, where do I sign?
Nice video, I'm enjoying the cinematography
This has to be the first car review video I've ever seen shot in New Hampshire. Honda brought you to New Hampshire!
I love my 2019 2.0T Sport
Embargo MUST be lifted. Reviews are all flooding in right now
soiceyboy33 embargo ended today
soiceyboy33 doesnt even seem like an honest review. Sounds more like an infomercial.
The center console divider appears rather wide. Have you have a chance to have a tall driver test it for the right knee room? Very nice preview, btw.
I’m okay with it now after seeing it in person still mad there’s no V6. But that 2.0 is punchy indeed lots of torque. Just don’t like the sound of a 4 banger in the $36k mark.
a face only a mother could love.
Hi there one question with a smaller engine size accord will the a/c system will flow cold enough air i have an 15 altima and a 15 accord and the altima shoots colder air than the accord thanks
looks pretty good.. love it!
Hey, that's that hotel from the movie Somewhere In Time !! I love that movie !!!
I love the looks and roofline. Reminds me of my favorite car: Audi A7.
Marshall Street - yeps. The rear looks very A7
And not everyone hated slide volume control, I have a 2016 EX-T for over a year, and I love it... All cars will have this.
I LOVE the chrome unibrow lol
I’m trynna buy this
I think the Sport looks great, especially in contrasting white! happy the the same engine in my Civic Type R is being used on this accord, albeit detuned. I am having some transmission issues with my Type R, maybe they fixed the design issue in the accord and I can port it over?
I saw a white sport model in person today and it stunned for sure. I thought it was an Audi A7 at first from the rear side profile.
R.I.P Accord Coupe. Please come back
Awesome review
I'm starting to like how it looks more ! Would want it the way it looks in the video
Was this filmed in NH?
Beautiful!
that Honda is freaking beautiful
2.0T Sport with the 2016 19inch wheels and repaint that Hitler Stash to match the rest of the body and you got yourself a good looking car.
Good review.
congrats for the awesome video, and congrats to honda for the awesome car haha
Love thad Beautiful car
BEAUTIFUL
Took one for a test drive yesterday. The styling in person is really stunning. This might be my next ride. In a perfect world, they could have made a plugin model with say 30 miles. My work commute is 22 miles, and they have a free plugin area available in our garage. Not paying for gas would be a real treat.
Hello !! What do you mean - "Not a performance car" - I have the Touring 2.0T - it's only 1/10 of a second slower than the BMW 330i - and it feels a lot faster than the BMW :) I guess you were driving the 1.5 engine
Any changes to adaptive cruise? I love our 16 civic's best adaptive cruise for price in class by far.
Great review. Handsome guy!
got the Hybrid Touring and it is F I N E fine
It looks so good
Love the snow white colour...
Great looking 🚗
manual!! Thank you Honda for still thinking about us avid drivers!
WOW! By far the nicest looking Honda to date IMO ;-)
No, getting rid of the 6V was a horrible idea. Camry wins this battle
Great job Honda
Perfect balance.
It’s such a pity Honda aren’t selling the accord in the uk. If they were I’d definitely get one
It looks more old school to me. It looks better....
What happened to CNet on Cars?! Why did y’all cancel that?! It was one of my *favorite* online car-shows!!
Give me a wagon, honda.
Angelica Cushing an edition for just u ri
yeah Honda the wagon please like Volvo, Subaru, and now VW. Too bad I can't find a Acura TSX sportwagon
Melvin Ray Spence III bro u aint even buying lol. Wheres your crosstour? Hahaha
Definitely can't go wrong with a TSX Wagon if you find one, They're getting rare.
No one is actually reviewing the car; they're just driving it and giving pseudo impressions and regurgitating the press release - there is no real objective review going on in the 6 "reviews" I've watched... At least HPJ gave some "tips & tricks" in his video...it's a new car, it's supposed to drive nice but what does it do/not do better than the competition???
K03sport gotta wait for the savagegeese review
All of these reviews are "first looks". Journalists are invited out to a press junket near some good smooth roads (or a track, if it's a performance car) with picturesque scenery where they sit through a few presentations, eat some expensive food, and are then given the cars for a few hours to get some pictures/video and some initial impressions. These cars are usually very early production and are sometimes a little buggy. Then the automaker gives them a press embargo that doesn't allow them to say anything about the vehicle in public (an NDA, basically) until a certain time and date (and sometimes prevents them from saying anything about the known bugs that won't be present in the production vehicles).. then everyone uploads their initial impression reviews on that date.
At a later date the journalists get an opportunity to get a press car assigned to them that they then use for their full reviews. Press cars are full-on production cars. Most reviews occur after the journalists have had several weeks and hundreds of miles to do their testing. This is how every mainstream car release has worked for the past 15 years or so. It's such a good model that electronics are doing the same thing now. An Apple iPhone Launch Event is nothing more than a press junket where the press gets 15 minutes to paw at and film a new device before going back home and playing with a real one for a week or more.
K03sport Thanks for the mention & glad you liked the Tips & Tricks video
Isn't this the case with most 'car review' videos on CZcams? Everyone so afraid they won't get more press vehicles that NOTHING is ever glaringly wrong with the cars, just observations of the press material and repeating the marketing message... so frustrating.
saw one today on the road looks pretty nice
tint the windows 5 on all the back and maybe 5 or 20% on the front and some badass 18's or 19's and call it a day, that sounds real nice
This Accord needs a re-fresh for next year, and it'll look complete just like how the last generation's last re-fresh model was.
I,ll definitely buy this sedan...
Volume knob should be on therer permanently for future cars as well lol.
How do you pair an Apple I phone to the vehicle?
Looks nice
10 speed or 6-speed manual? I love manual bur this 10 speed looks good.
Great review! Class act reviewing what has the potential to be a class leading sedan...
2.0 Turbo is faster than the old v6.
Nope only off the line because it gets better traction from a roll the 2016-2017 v6 smokes or road and track tested it.
Brian P no it doesn’t. The 2.0t is quicker 0-60 and in the quarter mile and their are videos on CZcams showing them race to prove it. Your statement is a blatantly false.
Ha! Professional car reviewers all choose the Honda over the Camry.
Facts.
Can't wait for Honda to launch their new rwd sport coupe!
which trim has button gear shift ?? anybody?
This is the best Looking Accord in past 5 generations. very simplistic and wide front , very Audi like.
Lenoe123, I agree. At first I thought what a disappointment, but then I gave It a chance and went to the showroom. It's really a nice vehicle and I think the next step Is the test drive. Since I like some pep when I hit the gas and like to have fun I'll be testing the 2.0t. Question, Honda says It only requires 85 octane (regular gas) however I was told by some people by putting in a higher grade gasoline you'd see better performance? Do you have any information on this? Thanks
Honda Australia really needs this car, simply because the current model isn't selling too well.. Just look what happened when the Civic got replaced. Positive results. Bring on the New 2018 Honda Accord.
this isn't realistic because hes not on his phone texting the whole time hes driving like everyone else
Does it rev match?
Now that's a Honda.!!
No replacement for displacement. Way to go Honda, you killed off the V6 just to join the rest of the market and slap a turbo onto an inline 4. If I wanted a 4 banger with a turbo, i'd buy a Subaru.
Nice road tho! You rarely see that in California
Looks aren't that striking but it sure grows with a lot of positivity. There's a bit of Lagonda Taraf going on with the fascia which works well for this Accord. Fantastic shape I think, great silhouette. Big question is will they build a sportier version that will compete with Kia's new Stinger and Hyundai/Genesis G70?
Is this the Cnet channel?
The first review I see of the 2018 Accord where the reviewer starts it off by saying, "This new design looks like shit. I don't know what Honda was thinking..." will be the review I trust the most.
cb7 to 2012 japanese and euro accord was the best looking accords to date
Comparing with the A4. I'm intrigued
Fun to drive. Test drove one, but i dont like how theyre packaged. You have to pay extra for a lot of things. My camry xse cost me 26500, and it had BSM, rcta, rctb( not sure if honda even offers rear braking) full led’s, even turn signals. Parking sonar, all 4 windows auto up and down( they only do fronts), leather heated seats powered both sides. You have to go to touring to get these things on accord. I really actually would like to buy this car in the 2.0 T sport version. But even that is more than my xse, and id be giving up a lot. So in essence , theyve pushed me out as a buyer with the packaging
Who is the music by?
23k?? Not bad!!
How was the hearing on the 6speeds? Do they have tall gearing? If gears are short, then much more fun to drive.
It's a toned down version of the Type R's 6 speed
It's probably fine, They said it was the type-r trans with revised ratios, but that may be for the better. I drive an Si and the gearing is ridiculously short. For a more "commuter" car with more torque, it would be much more comfortable with taller gearing.
Only the touring model gets the wireless charger.
I HAVE ONE, ITS GREAT !
You forgot the MOST important item.....not the volume knob but the TUNING knob! A much needed feature that has vanished from most modern autos usually replaced with some useless scanning control that completely bypasses that station you really want to tune into!
Beautiful car
How about the manual, AWD and the type R engine?
How do you have almost 6,000 unread emails on your phone?? I couldn't take that kind of chaos!
I have a volume Knob in my Honda Accord 2014, so they didn't bring anything back, instead the top of the line audio unit comes with a knob and not multiple screens and a touch screen from the volume.
The facia design is beautiful, but the roofline & rear are a bit strange. Honda must learn from Hyundai/ Mazda.
Lighter Engine on new accord is actually a good thing, *I can guarantee you better cornering, braking, acceleration & top speed.*
Hyundai’s are atrocious Mazda’s all look the same and are boring
If someone wanted to get the Accord Touring because of the features & tech it offers, it's between $34-$36k depending on the engine whether you go for the 1.5T or the 2.0T. Not exactly affordable for that trim of the Accord
Nice nice .real sharp.
This guy is a very reviewer BUT where is Cooley? Kinda miss him. 😢
There is so much going on with the black part in the front that it gives me a headache just from trying to comprehend it LOL.
Thank goodness they got a 10 speed automatic! Nice and smooth!
Jess Barnett actually people have been complaining about the 10 speed being slow
Toyota4Life that's a shame!
I will be going with Honda and skip Toyota because they play big brother. I rather have android auto and Apple CarPlay.
