Used 2013 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
Steering Wheel Noise & Break Noise
I purchased my 2013 Honda Accord V6 used with 10k miles on the odometer; I now have 12k after a month of driving. IÂve noticed the ticking noise in the steering wheel and a metal on metal scraping noise coming from the brakes. IÂm taking it to the dealer tomorrow for their diagnostics of the problem. The exterior redesigned is one of major reasons I settled on the Honda not to mention its track record for reliability. The DNA of this car is Honda, IÂm positive the engineers were not shooting for a 4dr NSX when they redesigned the Accord. With that being said, what I was looking for was a middle of the road transporter with decent gas mileage.
The CVT Transmission Is Garbage
The car is typical decent Honda, except for 2 things: 1. The radio and speakers are garbage and 2. The CVT transmission is pure garbage. It feels like a little man is in my transmission manually shifting my car for me, but he doesn't know how to shift properly. The CVT transmission violently jerks all the time. Honda really dropped the ball on the CVT transmission.

Reliable and holds value but getting boring Honda
With sport package you will feel and hear every imperfection in the road. All purpose tires are not good enough for snow greater than 3-4” with this car, get dedicated 16” steel rims (taller sidewalls) and Bridgestone Blizzaks. Most American mid/full size cars are quieter and more luxurious at this point. But you buy this car for reliability, low and predictable costs to operate and longevity.

New 2013 Honda Accord Sport Sedan
There's a few minor issues I have with this new car. The driver's side rear-view mirror has this silly feature where it bends the image. So when you're on the highway and a car is coming up in the lane to your left, it appears that they're turning into you. The first time I saw this I swerved and nearly drove off the road. The other thing is that the glove compartment door is very shiny. It reflects the light from the window, so you see constant flashing out of your right eye. Also your head is too close to A-pillar. Another thing, the newly designed car went way up in price. There are many comparable models such as the Kia Optima and the Hyundai Sonatoa, or even a Civic is a pretty nice ca
Buyer beware
Buyer beware. Brand new 2013 Accord EX-L comes with an instrument panel that would make Star Trek fans drool but unless you get the 6 cylinder. IT CAN'T OPEN A GARAGE DOOR. Who thought that was intelligent design.
