I purchased my 2013 Honda Accord Sport Sedan on 10/15/2012. This is my first Honda and I'm very happy to have made the switch. I was on the fence between this and the 2013 Toyota Camry. I really felt the Accord was the best value for my money and long term use.

Can't throw any rocks at it. Pebbles only

Leased the basic 4 dr, 4 cyl model three years ago and just can't find any faults whatsoever. Has never been in for service except for the routine maintenance. Going in, was worried about power, but CVT always keeps the engine in it's power groove. Off the line it's no tiger, but passing and going up grades it's surprisingly strong. Even Vail pass (very steep grade), just keep it on cruise and it sings all the way up at whatever speed you chose. High 30s (mpg) on the road, in the 40's on segments, high 20's around town. Visibility, instrumentation, and electronics are great. Personal taste in quality and ergonomics might not suit everyone, but even for this basic model it's been good enough for me. Only thing I can find fault with is the ride. Quite stiff, especially compared to the 2001 Accord coupe I came from, but have to say it corners flatter and handles better than the old 6 cyl model, even with aftermarket strut supports. Honda sound systems have never been too much to my taste, but its been adequate. As to safety, it's in the body shop now from a rear-ender. Expected a lot more damage from the feel of the hit it took, but shop says rear bumper and dampers are only replacements. A bit of superficial damage to trunk lid (SUV hit me), but trunk works fine as do all other functions. Front bumper will be buffed out (hit pushed me into car in front, another SUV - shows force of hit). The collision and inherent visibility factors from driving in 'SUVland' (Colorado) have me considering something taller, maybe an older Pilot, but fully expect to buy it out at termination of lease for it's overall fulfillment of my personal needs. Does great in snow, by the way (as have all my prior Hondas). Just reading the reviews for all the other makes and models on this site keeps me defaulting back to this make. Have owned a string of Hondas for a very long time, peppered with lots of other makes and models, and just can't find anything else, on the whole, more reliable to the basic needs of transportation, across the board.

I am leasing this car, got it from dealer in Redding, CA with 17 miles on it as of today Aug.10 2015 the battery has died 4 times with just leaving doors open to vacuum out inside and then close doors, battery dead 2 times, took it to dealer after 1.5 hours they told me nothing wrong. Another time just listening to radio while waiting in car for about 5 mins. dead again so just happen again while I was syncing my iPhone to car maybe key on 4 mins. dead again. I called American Honda this time and told them I'm taking it back to dealer in morning, and they opened up a case on it. we'll see what happens. At this point bad battery or wiring.. Not real happy!

2013 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 6M)

Almost 2 years later after buying this car, I still love it as much as day 1. I bought this used with 40k miles on it. My car now has 100k miles on it, and I have not had any issues whatsoever. I have experienced the Honda reliability that I expected when purchasing. The 6 cylinder with the CVT is smooth, poweful, and fuel efficient. I average about 32 MPG on highway trips. Driving in downtown San Diego in stop and go is a different story- as expected with a 6 cylinder. The car itself feels solid and heavy. My favorite features are the crystal clear large backup cam and the Honda lanewatch camera on the right side mirror. Honda lanewatch has proven to be an extremely useful and underrated feature. It makes driving on highways much easier and safer. Overall I love this car and I firmly believes it’s the best car on the market today for under $40k. It’s a shame Honda stopped producing the coupe (and the 6 cylinder, WTF!) for 2018. Hopefully this changes in the future.

Great car

Best car I've ever owned from an overall value standpoint. Went from a '10 Infiniti G35x to the Accord and actually preferred the Accord. No, it's not exciting and could be called an appliance, but doing 25k+ a year, this car was perfect and price was great. Went with Sport in '13 because of exterior styling but would have preferred Sport appearance on an EX-L or Touring. This was fixed in '16.
