2007 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews

Good car with a few faults

2007 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I have had my 2007 Accord for almost 10 months now and have 23,000 Miles on it. I love the car, but it leaves more power to be desired in the low rpm. My g/f's 08 Civic seems more peppy and feels quicker in the low ranges. I do not abuse my car and have had all services done by a certified Honda dealer. Recently, I have had trouble with the brakes "Clunking" when applied at low speeds. I also hear a clunk sometimes when making low speed turns, but not in curves. Overall, I am very happy with the car. I average 34 mpg (more than double my truck.) This is a highway car even though most people will probably use it as a city car. If I had more city driving to do, I would buy the Civic.

Favorite Features

Spacious interior. Auto-down/up driver's window. Big Trunk. Tight shift pattern and GREAT clutch. Daytime running lamps. Awesome fuel economy(better than the '08 by a long shot). Quiet engine/trans. This is a super car. I love it.

Suggested Improvements

Add a dark/medium green color to the lineup. Got to fix the "clunking" noise. Trunk opening could be bigger, but is acceptable. More oomph in the low range for hgwy ramps and red light to red light city driving. Trans is jerky in 2 & 3 like the engine is missing or clutch is slipping (but it's not).

Lousy gas mileage

Review

This is the last Honda I will buy, owned a 2003 and traded it in hoping I would get better gas mileage. Well since I have owned it I have never gotten more than 20 miles to gallon in local traffic, which is where most of my driving is. On longer trips, yes I do get 30 mpg. but since most of my driving is local it is costing me a fortune in gas for a 4 cyl. car. it said 24 to 32 mpg. Never go by that sticker on the side of the window. the inside is exactly the same as my 2003 accord they had 4 yrs. and changed nothing to the interior. I will go back to owning Toyota's after this car.

Favorite Features

comfort and smooth drive.

Suggested Improvements

Improve gas mileage and don't lie about it.

exceptional value

2007 Honda Accord Special Edition V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Was in the market after surviving for a year driving an '07 Yaris-poor handling for New England winters! Drove the Accord and we were convinced that we made the right decision. Gas mileage is consistently 25+ mpg. Handling is quick and secure. Winter tires/wheel package (Tire Rack) with standard VSA make driving in Vt winters a breeze. Unbeatable combination of power/performance and value .

Favorite Features

Recently waxed the car for the first time and impressed with the ease and results. Monochrome door/moldings are very cool.

Suggested Improvements

Possible fluke but a return line seal for the transmission fluid wasn't installed correctly at factory-local Honda dealership, Automaster, corrected the problem no questions asked. The seat fabric is tough to keep clean.

Better than expected

Review

I purchased my Accord after discovering that my Acura CL had manufacturing defects in the paint and transmission, (I loved it & the Acura line until then!!). Despite the unforeseen problems w/the Acura I loved its speed, agility and Bose Stereo. So, I got the Accord because it was affordable and practical, and did not expect to love it. But..the V6 is quick, agile, (not as much as the acura). I get tons of compliments on the smooth, quiet ride, more of a sporty,roomy sedan. The look is not especially sporty, but not boring. The brakes are overly sensitive/grabby, and there are some blind spots at the pillars and front end. Overall pleased & pleasantly surprised.

Favorite Features

Navigation system. 6 disc in dash CD sounds good, and lots of features. I love the XM feature, (but XM sound quality is bad). I have tan leather interior which comes with wood trim, and looks really nice.

Suggested Improvements

Rear windows very noisy going up/down. Needs auto door locks when car is in drive. The leather seats are stiff, & initially felt like a worn out airplane seat: fit, comfort & leather quality need improving. Poor visibility of front end when parking.Need decent floor mats, and Ipod input!!

Review

Overall i love the car! It has great pickup and a smooth ride. A few things I've noticed. The AC pulls on the engine a little and you can actually tell a difference in performance with the AC on verses off. I notice it more when going from a complete stop to start or basically going from traffic light to traffic light. Sometimes you can feel it jumping a little when it's changing gears. It's funny because i have friends with an 06 and 05 model and they all say theirs performs in similar ways. So maybe its just a Honda thing. Its my first front wheel drive vehicle. Love how the car feels and I've gotten lots of compliments on it.

Favorite Features

Back lit instrument panel. Stereo system. It's not Bose but it sounds almost as good to me. I've actually had people think its a Bose system when in the car.

Suggested Improvements

Automatic sunroof "one touch switch" and auto door locks. Take off the auto air fan on "high speed" when you turn the AC on. The first thing i do is turn it down. Auto windows up with key remote, if you can put them down, you should be able to put them back up!

Review

Not exactly a sports car or a family car. The V4 doesn't accelerate as fast as the V6 would but the engine is more powerful when you are already at high speeds. A little too bulky compared to original Hondas

No More Accord

Review

I hated it, but i had to get rid of my Accord. The driver's seat is so uncomfortable - my back hurt all the time - I was miserable. This is in spite if the fact I have teh EX-L with all power seat adjustments. Additionally, for the second time in 1 year my brakes rotors had to be turned and new brake pads installed. Honda would not replace the rotors so I know that since they have been turned twice, it's only a short time until the vibration when braking returns. Beware of Honda Seats.

Favorite Features

Navigation System is the best of any system made. Gas mileage is phenomenal

Suggested Improvements

Seat comfort. Better leather grade, not the cheap plastic vinyl feeling leather.

Little Ms. Almost Perfect

Review

This car is comfortable, refined, safe, well mannered and the driving experience is consistently uneventful. In bronze, the car looks classy and conservative. The motor offers reasonable power and is quiet. The automatic transmission is smooth and deliberate. The cabin is quiet and comfortable. Fuel economy is excellent.

Favorite Features

This car does everything very well.

Suggested Improvements

Give the consumer something to complain about without feeling too critical. So good, its boring!

After One Year of Ownership

Written by: zzzooom on 05/09/2008

Vehicle

2007 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

This is a follow up after one year of ownership. The strengths of the car are gas mileage (WOW - better than any econobox) build quality, low ownership costs. The fun to drive factor is not there - I miss my Mazda 6. One discovery is that even though I have a fully power seat with adjustable lumbar, the leather drivers seat is hard on the seat bottom and the seat back has no upper back support. This seat feels good for the first 10 minutes and then it becomes the most uncomfortable seat I have ever endured in any car or truck, including an old vinyl bench seat. Also, I have had continual problems with brake pulsation due to rotor warpage or pad deposits.

Favorite Features

GAS MILEAGE!

Suggested Improvements

Seat comfort. Better quality brake rotors and/or pads
