An All Around Excellent Performer

I own a 2006 Maxima which is my daily driver, but on weekends and long trips I chose the Accord. It does not feel as powerful as the Maxima, even though it has about the same horse power rating, but it provides a much more satisfying driving experience, especially on long trips. I took the car on a trip to Quebec last summer. I never felt the fatigue experienced in most of my previous automobiles. It has good power, visibility, trunk space and nice handling. I love the fuel economy, the capability of using regular gas and work to cruise in the "econ" 3 cylinder mode. The car is an all around excellent performer!

This is the first Honda I have purchased on my own. My entire family owns Hondas but this will be my final Honda due to so many problems. Brakes replaced under 20000k miles rotors turned and replaced under 20000 miles and rear dash replaced. 3 out of 4 door actuators replaced. Heated mirror took 6 trips to fix after they told me I didn't have heated mirrors and I had to prove it. Brakes still squeak a lot and Honda Customer service will not do anything about it. They just say they have not had any recalls when they clearly have issues with the brakes. My parents have a pilot just had their 60k mile service replaced brakes first time and still have not turned rotors. Accord is awful.

Great car compared to Camry

I had 2 Toyota Camrys and changing to the Accord, it's a great positive change. First better handling. Suspension is harder and the stability control made the car very fun to drive. Assisted brake is better than the Camry. More room. 2 big suitcases + 3 small ones when taking family from airport (we were 5). I can't even believe it can fit them all. Concerning some issues: road noise. I'm quite sensitive to noise and of course the noise canceling system is helping. Good point: it happens only time to time. The seat is slightly hard. I have to pull on the head rest and then it's ok. The 190 hp is there when needed. No regret compare to the Camry LE. MPG: 29 mpg mixed for the last 6000 miles!
Love This Car!

I ordered this coupe in October and it arrived 2 weeks ago. From the moment I pulled out of the dealers lot...wow...excellent power and pickup. Even thought the roads had some ice on them I just kept driving. Cornering is excellent, handles better than the BMW 328xi I was considering (too expensive with expensive repairs).Stablity control is apparent, shift is smooth although the gear box is small, as compared to the SUV's I was used to driving. Brakes are sensitive and feel secure, no drift, but occ steering torque is apparent with some up shifting.
Major Disappointment

This is my third Accord and will be the last. The car is big and ponderous. It does not track straight. Constantly steering corrections to the right or left to keep the car go straight. The driver's seat is very uncomfortable. The head rest tills forward which pushes the driver's head forward at a very uncomfortable position. The seat is too deep that the edge cuts into the driver's calves. The arm rest on the door is too far away to rest your arm. Build quality is lacking. The car is under powered.
