Poor Heat and comfort

This car does not blow hot air when the temp is below 0 deg F. If you live in cold climates and don't want to over dress for a long commute to work, then make sure to test drive this car in the winter on a subzero day before buying. I actually took this car back to the dealer to have the heat checked in my first winter. The dealer said it was working normal. I've since asked other Honda owners about this and they agree that the heat is poor. My old Galant with 230,000 miles heats up much quicker and hotter! I am sadly trading this car in because of this as I'm tired of driving in an icebox. For a car with such a vaunted reputation, I am greatly disappointed with this vehicle.
Great acceleration and ride but NOISY on The Road

This car has been a real luxury for the last seven years and has required very little maintenance over and above normal wear and tear. My only complaints are .... 1. The car has a lot of road noise even for a 2012 model and in spite of putting much quieter tires and adding sound deadening material for the after half of the body. 2. Don’t even bother to get the expensive updates to the navigation system. The onboard maps are already a couple of years out of date. We normally only use Google maps on our iPads. In addition searching it’s listing for places is woefully inadequate. However after saying all of the negatives, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy the ride, comfort, control, and the power from the V6 engine. If only Honda would keep up with the technology and the noise canceling available in its competition and reserved for the Acura, we would buy another Accord in a heartbeat. Instead, we will transition to an Audi sedan later this year.

Classic Accord

2012 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 2dr Coupe w/Navigation (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Even though I bought it "used", I got a great deal on a low mileage 2012 Accord V6 Coupe. Having owned 2 previously, I found this one to be classic in its reliability and performance. No surprises. Good, reliable entertainment. The V6 is nice, compared to my previous 4 cylinder Accords. People complain about the driver's side lumbar support as being "agressive". This may be true for most people, however I have a weak back, and find the strong lumbar support to be a blessing. The front seats themselves tend to be a bit "firm". They don't massage you or envelope you in comfort. That would be my only complaint about the 2012 Accord.

Garbage transmissions

2012 Accord is a great car as far as the handling and quality of driving, roomy cabin and very comfortable yet one of the main components is complete trash!!! And that is transmissions. There is absolutely no use of comfort of the car when your trans is acting out at 40k miles and its questionable on weather honda factory waranty is going to own up to it. Thay are very reluctant to take care of their defects and they will most likely try to get out of paying for repairs.

Another Great Honda

I've had many Honda vehicles in my life including several motorcycles, the Ridgeline, an S2000, a Civic hybrid and now this Accord. Its safe to say I'm a fan but I write this objectively in order to hopefully provide feedback for prospective buyers. I was able to get into this fully loaded Accord and I couldn't be happier (I also intend to update throughout ownership). It feels as solidly built as any other Honda vehicle I have had, the previous best being my '06 Interceptor with the Ridgeline a close second. It is definitely the most advanced. It will be a while before I absorb the functionality of all the systems. Spectacular first impressions.
