This is a solid sporty reliable peppy 4 cylinder - always have enjoyed owning and driving this good looking car. In fact, I am buying another Honda Accord - a last minute purchase of a 2017 (Nov. 2017) since I found out they have eliminated some of my favorite features in the 2018. Whoever buys this 2013 will be happy with it I am sure!

At 77,000 miles, I am on my 2nd alternator and third starter. From the day I bought the car, I have had to keep close watch on the oil level. I use about a quart between oil changes. Now for the good. I love driving the 6-speed manual. A curvy, hilly road between cities is actually fun to drive. It is a great road car, and in town, it goes quickly where I point it. Honda built its reputation on reliability. It seems they have given up control over parts, both original equipment and replacements, to some short-sighted corporate changes. Too bad. Not the Hondas we enjoyed in the 70's - 80's, folks.

After 8 years, I still like my Accord

Overall, I am very pleased with the Accord, 2.4l, 6 MT. Being a 6 speed, there wasn't much for added bells and whistles. overall, it was what you see is what you get. That is fine. I bought it as a back and forth to work car and conveniently live 2 miles from work. The handling is great, road noise is minimal, but the ride can be a little rough, especially on GA, I-16 with their washboard highway (as an example.) I purchased the Accord new in 2013, so here we are 5 years later and just under 37K miles. I feel the build is solid. It doesn't rattle inside, like a lot of plastic interiors do when they loosened up over the years. I do not regret my purchase. Now to the fluke part. As I said, the car is 5 years old and just under 37K miles. Last week, while coming home on I-95, the battery light came on and within minutes the car was on the side of the road, dead as a door nail. The 51R battery Honda uses is a joke and I'm considering changing the battery box over to support the Accord V6 battery size. Frankly, I was lucky to get 5 full years out of that battery, considering my commute is so short to work. At first, I thought it was just the battery, so I bought one, drove to the car and installed it. After starting the car I realized the lights were all still on, mainly the Check Charging System message on the data screen. I hopped out and looked. Low and behold, the water pump seized up, breaking the serpentine belt and killing the battery. I was understanding when I thought is was the battery, but a water pump. What water pump seizes in 5 years and 37K miles? Well, after a day of trying to rent tow equipment, I got it home and fixed it in my driveway. A water pump, belt and new coolant came at a whopping $122, so that wasn't to bad. The bad was calling Nalley Honda and them telling me it was $300 just in labor and having no interest in telling me the price of the pump. I did manage to find out they wanted over $110 for the belt. I know dealerships are nuts, but really? Anyway, enough about the dealership, I was surprised that the pump failed out. I'm driving a Toyota Sienna that still has the original in it and it has 104K miles. Again, I was shocked but I really don't have any regrets buying the Accord. I hope it was a fluke and I just got stuck with the "1" that failed. Knowing what I know now, I will be popping the hood more often. It was a wake up call that Honda Accord's do break, too. Update Mar 2021... Well, it's still running good. No new issues since the water pump. I'm still very happy with the Accord. The interior is still tight. It doesn't rattle like many plastic interiors. The paint is holding up well and the performance is still there. In the eight years I've owned it, I managed to put just over 65K miles and two minor accidents. It still looks great with the help of the body shop. If I was asked if someone should consider buying an Accord, I'd definitely recommend it.

Picked up my ex-l on Monday,everything was as good as Honda advertized, EXCEPT for the instrument display daytime brightness.the dealer salesman and their tech played around for an hour or more trying to adjust it.They called Honda corporate tech support who says it is set at the factory and can not be adjusted any better.i'm not a happy camper spending a lot of money on a faulty display.I called the Honda customer service who took note of the problem. I think I'll have to keep after them to see if anything can be improved.
Best Honda I have ever owned

I love my 2013 Accord LX CVT. Probably the best looking Accord to date. Plenty of power for city driving or the freeway. CVT is a first for me but anytime you can cruise 70 mph @ 19-2000 rpm in a 3200 lb car is a win. Great interior, comfortable seats, great stereo. I managed 38 mpg on the highway today and the car has only 5k so I'm sure it will loosen up a bit once its broken in and gets synthetic oil inside
