First Honda - pretty happy
Owned for 13 months and it has performed flawlessly. Great mpg: 40 on long road trips and lots of torque for a 4 cylinder. Lots of space, everything operates smoothly, feels expensive and gets compliments. Really easy to do maintenance (fluid changes etc). My only minor complaints: driving a CVT required some getting used to, radio power is weak, and driver seat length too short for my long legs. Update: CVT died at 91k miles, even with regular fluid changes. $5k dollar repair, thankfully covered under warranty...This will be my last CVT car! Update: 104k miles, no new issues. Update 120k miles no major issues.

Great performance needs improvement for the price
Had the car for 4 months and 4k miles. Bought it used/certified with 42k miles. Starter had to be replaced 1 month after I bought it. First the bad: the stereo stinks. FM radio sounds like AM mono. Bluetooth lags but sounds decent. Cd player sounds the best but doesn't read .mp3 discs. USB input doesn't recognize my android phone to play music. Aux input sound is not good. Phone to car stereo interface doesn't work (everyone has this problem and Honda is not fixing it.) The Active noise cancelling doesn't work but is not needed as car is quiet. YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE STEREO without losing many functions and settings!!! This thing called IMID which controls many functions and features and settings non stereo related is built in to the stereo! HOW IDIOTIC IS THAT!?! The front seats are not comfortable. No lumbar adjust or support. I have good athletic posture and the head rest pushes your neck/head forward. The seats are not (that) bad, but should be better at this price. I use small pillow for lumbar. Missing some obvious features like lighting for back seat, no cup holders in back seat, power outlets only work when car is on, no floor lighting. Not a fan of the push button start. One thing I don't like is the center console layout. Not good use of space. When using cups in cup holder, interferes with shifting, forget using a coffee mug. The doors on my coupe are too big and heavy. Not expecting the alignment and hinges of doors to last. (I won't be doing a 2 door ever again!) Hard to get out of car in tighter spaces and hard to load things in car. For some reason, the pass through feature between trunk and back seat is left off on the coupe? The area on the hood just above the grill is very prone to little rock chips. I think it's the aerodynamics? The good: the car drives wonderful! The handling is like a much more expensive sports car! Yes, I've driven nice sports cars...The car doesn't feel like the rated hp and torque, but it's good enough. I love Honda manual tranny and the way they shift and this doesn't disappoint! Hint to Honda...(keep up the way you do manual transmissions!) I enjoy the Sunroof. Factory smoked windows are a GREAT feature! The dual zone control HVAC is a nice feature! Wish fan speed was dual/independent controlled. Trunk space is great for a 2 door and car this size! backup camera screen is nice size especially compared to other cars. Did I mention the handling and steering and braking on this car is incredible!?! In economy mode only 1 mpg difference. Others are getting the same result in econ mode. I'm getting about 29 mpg. combined highway/city driving. This is an update 20k miles later...Edmunds sends me emails asking me to update. Well nothing has changed about my review. Except headlight lens is not looking great and I used the 3m lens restore to make very little difference. Not going to pay someone $80 to fix something that shouldn't be broken at this point. Still not happy about car functions being built into the hardly usable car stereo! Others have found a way around the car stereo by relocating stereo head unit to the trunk and installing new stereo in dash. Either requires a LOT of wiring and a huge expense to get proper plugs or a ridiculous amount to pay someone to do it.

Much better than I imagined!
Accord Sport w/ the 6sp is amazing! I have been a die hard Honda fan, but always liked the Civic model. Traded in the '08 Civic 5sp manual for this, and have been blown away by the difference in the first 650 miles. The manual transmission is smooth, the engine is quick to respond, and it's got lots of power I often peel out in between gears when having fun with it. The quality of the cabin/exterior just feels like it's going to last forever, and I'm looking to push this car over 300,000 miles in the years to come!
Great value and sporty
Just got the 2013 Accord sport white and loving it. Plenty of power, great mpg on first tank 28.6 some fooling wityh the shifters. I am looking forward to giving a better review in the coming months. Also Herb Chambers Seekonk Ma. is my dealer 6 cars in 6 years they do it right !!
