Used 2009 Honda Accord EX-L 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
2009 Accord EX-L 5M
I no longer own this Accord. The Accord was replaced by a 2013 VW Passat SE with 6 speed automatic with 28K miles. Accord was great car. My only complaint was road noise. You could not carry a conversation or be on the phone at highway speed driving over concrete roads. I thought maybe the original Michelin MXVs that went 64K miles were to blame. I got Goodyear grand touring tires and it did not make any difference. Build quality, reliability, feel were top notch. Seat comfortable was not the best but it is better with leather (EXL) than it is with cloth seats. (LX or EX) I sold the Accord since I was tired of manual transmission and lack of phone and audio bluetooth.

Moving and grooving
This is a great car. Very reliable and comfortable. You keep up on your maintenance and it will be a wonderful car for many years. My car has heated leather seats, premium sound, sunroof, and convenient controls. It’s great in the snow and gives a comfortable ride. She’s got a snappy 4 cylinder engine that can get up and go when you need to. I feel she’s good on gas mileage. Mine has been a very reliable car. She would make a great addition to your family.

2009 Accord 4DR EXL 5M
Purchased the car in Nov 2011 with 37K miles. It currently has 67K miles. It looks and drives great. It consistently gets 34-36 mpg on highway driving at 70mph. The feel and handling are great. Road noise is excessive and TOTALLY unacceptable and it is odd that at EX-L trim level, the car does not have a USB port. I have had zero issues with my Accord. No rattles and squeaks that some complain about. I do have the power steering whine that started about 40K miles., Replaced the evenly worn and still in good shape Michelin with GoodYear Assurance tires. No improvement in road noise. Both paint and interior are wearing well and have no complaints. This Accord is very low maintenance and the maintenance items are inexpensive. I will sell this Accord shortly. I have already bought a 2013 VW Passat SE with 28K miles for its improved road noise, Bluetooth audio and phone, and moving to an automatic.

Warning, don't buy a Accord 08 or 09
My wife and I purchased to honda accords (2008 - 2dr coupe used) & (2009 4dr sedan new). Since the purchase date in Feb 09, I have had nothing but problems. 1) The tire pressure light keeps coming on 2) Muffler had to be replaced due to bad components 3) Both keyless entry remotes went out 4) Driver side seat lumbar support without was replaced 5) Rear brake pads wear out fast, replaced. 6) Tires don't stay balanced and aligned. Although all of these problems was covered by the dealership it's a shame that I have to take a new car in for repair "time after time". This is what you will have to look forward to in the years to come. Oh, the 08 coupe is no better! Warning don't buy Honda!
wish i never bought it
i bought this honda after all the hype about the need to "get out of american made cars". i had a buick lacrosse that i loved but the gas mileage was beginning to get to me. gas was $4.00 per gallon at the time. i was actually looking for a small suv but my husband talked me out of that. i hate driving this car. rough ride, unbelievable road noise (my dealership told me to turn the radio up! hah!). the seats are the worse!! leather--but the most uncomfortable i have ever owned. long trips are miserable. have taken 2 now and the passenger seat is horrible. my girlfriend sat in the back seat--said it was ok but sure was noisy. i truly wish i had never bought this car.
