Nice vehicle, subpar audio system!

I have owned Accord 2015 for almost 3 months now and I love it! Adequate pick up, excellent mileage, not much wind/road noise, quite comfortable. Ride quality could be firm for some but I find it fine. Gas mileage is as advertized, in fact many times I exceed it. But then I have a very light foot! I do have reservation about 2 screens though! I don't understand why there are 2 screens, which makes menu system unnecessarily complicated. I guess just one, little bit larger touch screen should suffice. Secondly, the audio system sucks! The sound quality is ridiculously bad. My decade old Toyota had a better sounding stereo!

We bought our 2015 Accord Sport in August of 2015 for a great price from the dealer. They had to clear out the old inventory so we got ours for just over $21k. Almost $5k under MSRP, all was good for the first 6 months, then the transmission recall happened. The car was never the same. Sluggish and diminished MPG, was told the software update was done to factory spec, but what a bad deal, seems like a different car. Then the battery sensor recall along with my battery dying leaving me stranded last year, that I couldn't figure out a battery only lasting 2 years. Here is where we start to lose my previously faithful following of the Honda brand. The transmission never seemed the same since the "recall", but about 9 months ago I was backing out of my driveway, (it is on an incline) so didn't notice reverse engaging but when I shifted into "D" nothing, the car would not move. It gave a few strange revs and I heard a loud click and it finally went into gear. I looked online and I read something about fluid pressure having to build up and not driving right away after start up, so as ridiculous as it seems I did just that, waited for the transmission to build pressure (like I was driving a 30 year old car or something), but it became more frequent, so I took it to the dealer and they said "we are unable to duplicate the problem, so there is nothing to repair". I am at 29k miles and 5 months left on my warranty, so I will be getting rid of my Accord by August. Going towards a Mazda Cx-5 or Lexus NX 200t. NOTHING with a CVT transmission, and my love for Honda's has sadly now come to an end. So if you are considering buying an Accord by wary of the CVT. It was my first and last. UPDATE.... I had transmission failure at 31,000 miles,warranty replaced and at 33,000 miles the transmission started acting up again, so we traded it in and got a Lexus NX200t F sport. We have had it for almost 2 years now and it is an amazing vehicle. Too bad Honda has gone down hill, I used to love those cars.

Great car, terrible dealers.

I would say that the vehicle itself is probably one of the finest vehicles ever built in the US. Having purchased the exceedingly rare V6/manual combination, I was fortunate enough to find a car that met every criteria I was looking for. The vehicle itself is amply powered, well laid out, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. Build quality overall is good with only a few very minor fit/finish issues. On the road, the vehicle is rather fun to drive on the aggressive side due to the copious power and torque available throughout the operating range. Passing and highway merges are effortless...in fact the most difficult part of driving the car is maintaining legal speeds! Speaking to the manual transmission variant specifically, the vehicle has a satisfying shift action, but the clutch is very light and far less forgiving than other vehicles I've driven. Sloppy technique is not tolerated by this drivetrain especially with its highly sensitive throttle response. A few months with this car will hone your manual driving skills with certainty. Ride is fairly firm but not jarring and handling is great with good stability in cornering and maneuvering. Steering feel is lacking as with most cars in this day and age. All in all, if you're looking for a V6 and manual transmission at a reasonable price, this vehicle is probably the best option available at this time. My only complaint lies with the sales process itself. Honda dealers are from my experience terrible. Never before have I had to endure as ultra high pressure and scummy a sales process as I went through for this vehicle. It seems to be that the only goal in the process is to inviscerate every buyer with aggressive and ridiculously over priced up sells to maximize profit. I had to literally walk out twice to get them to drop the sales pitch and execute the sale as I wanted. Service is also an issue...Honda dealers seem to have a system of harshly punishing those who do not use the original dealer's service dept for service. In my case, I had to purchase the vehicle 2 hrs from my home due to a lack of inventory in my area in the configuration I wanted. Despite having no other place to buy the vehicle, I am subject to being gouged by my local dealer for routine maintenance/inspections since I didn't buy it from them. Overall, I'd recommend this vehicle so long as you can avoid the sales process as much as possible. Use an Internet based car buying service and outright refuse to speak with any "finance manager" character in the midst of the process...find your own financing before you walk in. If the sales rep or Internet sales desk can't handle the sale themselves, terminate the process and find another dealer. Do not purchase any upsells as you can get everything they offer for 1/4 of the price from 3Rd parties. Any claims they make to the contrary are lies. Also, using a local dealer you intend to use for service will help improve your service experience.

A Honda Accord in 2001, 2013 and 2015

Just to give you an idea about the Honda Accord: our first car was a Mitsubishi, and it was spilling oil in the parking lot at 85K miles. The second car was a Saturn, and the engine started making horrible noises at 100K. Then I got the car that I read about: the Honda Accord. I drove that car for 235K miles with minimal maintenance and it just kept going, until the manual clutch went. It had the original shocks and muffler after 11 years. So in 2013 we got a new Honda Accord, and within a year someone skidded into the Honda on an icy road at 60 MPH, and ripped the drivers side apart, the door held fine, the airbags went off and we were fine inside the car. Just last month I got a Honda Accord for my wife, because being safe and having a roomy, comfortable, fun and very safe car to drive is what we want. To recap: that Accord is an excellent choice for budget minded people who want the best.

2015 EX-L V6 Starter Sucks!

I am now on my 4th starter and am in constant fear whenever I push the start button. Mechanic followed directions on Service Bulletin 16-002 this week, only one week after installing another new starter that started spinning 3 days later. He "thinks" this will fix the issue but I'm not holding my breath. 120,000 miles. Have put in several new batteries also. Honda knows they have a problem with this starter yet will not issue a recall. Back to Toyota for me. Please comment if anyone else is experiencing this problem.
