My Accord is a terrific city car and once I figured out that I had to adjust my seat to be more straight backed than I had been used to, the seat became more comfortable for longer drives. The car remains solid, I have not yet had the rear brake problems others have noted and my overall gas mileage is around 25 MPG, not bad. This car handles beautifully for a fwd sedan, but the road noise is noticeable, Honda can do better. Overall, I really like this car but the seats and the road noise keep me from completely loving it. Build quality is excellent, there are absolutely no squeaks or rattles. I can tell this car will wear well over the years.

After 3 months of driving my Accord I can say, it is the best driving experience I've had so far with sedans. I worked for a car rental company and drove all kinds of cars so I have something to compare to. Many people prefer dial temperature and other controls but I can say that all buttons are very intuitive easy to operate and contribute to a superior and modern interior look. Handling is great, acceleration is excellent, haven't noticed dimming headlights. Lots of leg room. Have absolutely nothing to complain about. I love it!

Crappy Honda

I wanted a honda because my second car was a 1990 honda civic is lasted FOREVER. I purchased another car and until we had a flood and a Spanish guy purchased it from her and fixed it. Well, I purchased a 2009 Honda Accord. It has 125,000 miles, but it was OK because Hondas are known to go to 200,000 and over. Well I have been having serious issues with this car. My check engine light keeps coming on, and then it starts flashing, my car starts to stall and will not go over 20-25 mph. I had the spark plugs replaced, a new battery, which Honda said was a bad cell that caused this, a starter, 2 crank shaft sensors, and i refuse to put anything else into this car that I am still making payments on. when I researched this car I never read anything regarding this issue. I wish I had because I would HAVE NEVER purchased this [non-permissible content removed] car. I am so frustrated.

Disappointed

Car was ten months; 2900 miles. Three cylinders had to be replaced! Ride very rough as if one were in a truck. The passengers felt every bump. This bumpiness and jostling made it impossible for a ride of any length or distance The car had rattles in it. The dashboard panel was confusing. If one pressed the remote open the door too hard or long, the sun/moon roof opened. An immense annoyance and risk to the interior of the car. Headlights had to be manually turned on Fuel mileage very poor, about twelve miles per gallon. Do not purchase a six cylinder engine of this car. The 2009 Honda Accord is a great disappointment. In sum, do not buy this 2009 Honda Accord

minor annoyances but so far, so good

constant rattle from early on coming from the console. very annoying. 6 cyl was leaking oil right at 100,000. dealership able to fix for $800ish. Other than those things, this car is everything I could want for $24k. I am 6'3", 240 lbs and fit very well in the front or back seats. trunk very spacious. the engine has plenty of power for my constant merging on the freeway, passing other cars, etc. Update;. Another issue at 110,000 miles. Something wrong with a wheel;. Guessing bearings but have not confirmed yet. I have found Honda to be very unimpressive at backing their vehicles even when there is a known problem. No issues since 110,000 miles; now up to 130,000 miles. Catalytic converter at 132,000 miles. A $1,200 repair. Just had the same on my 2016 pilot as well.
