Fantastic mileage marred by horrible seats

Switching to this car from my 1999 Nissan Maxima, I expected to be disappointed on handling and performance. The handling has been a pleasant surprise, as the car drives like many far more expensive sports sedans that I've driven. Performance was as expected, like a 4 cylinder with a rubber band transmission, but it is especially disappointing getting onto expressways. The seats are brutal. My wife, who has back issues but is comfortable in our 2010 Odyssey, 2002 Toyota Avalon, and 2022 Toyota Sienna, simply cannot ride in any seat in this car. The headrests force you into looking at your knees, the seats feel like cardboard with a plywood backing. I wanted to love this car, but I can't wait to be rid of it.

This is the greatest car I've ever owned and I plan to run it till it drops. With regularly scheduled maintenance if lasts longer than 500,000 miles and beyond that is great for me. No plans to sell or trade this piece of beauty

My 2013 Accord EXL has been a great car. I have 65000 miles to date and the only expenses have been for tires; batteries; oil changes/filters and brakes (once). Highway gas miles are 33 -36 mpl. But that's what i expected from Honda. I still own a 2001 Civic w 89000 miles and the only major repair was a timing belt!!

Honda Driver for LIFE

I absolutely love my Accord, this my third one and I wanted this generation (9th gen 2013-17) because it is the only generation of Honda's that have LaneWatch - which might seem silly but I use it more to just be extra aware of my surroundings. I owned my previous Accord (07 LX Sedan) for 6 years and after driving and researching I will always drive Honda. They hold their value, excellent safety, and they have a little pep so it's not boring to drive. The only thing I would change is if I could get my car but with a V6 6-Speed, either way I'm keeping this car for at least 5 more years or longer!

It's a Honda. And despite the slap of the 2011 and 2012 models, the 2013 Honda is back. My mom had a Honda 600, a CVCC Civic, and a CRX. Dad had an '87 Accord. We have an Odyssey, a Civic, and now we have a brand new Accord. I'm not married to Honda. We looked at Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, and Volkswagen. Our new Accord is not even through its first tank of gas. My first impressions: Highway, 38MPG with the "Econ" button pushed. 26MPG in town. We have the EX-L 4-cyl with all the nice gadgets. The rear-view camera with three modes is great. The lane departure and distance warning are pretty weak and unreliable. Fit & Finish are excellent. Power is great. Ride is a little firm Follow-up Impressions: Driving down the central valley from Davis, CA to Mission Viejo, CA, I got 42.5 MPG for the first 300 miles. Getting into hillier country at the end reduced the overall 450 mile average to 40 MPG. I still made the entire drive with a little less than a quarter of a tank of gas left. Last Impressions: My Accord may have saved my life. It certainly saved me from injury. I was stopped, and got rear-ended by a Hyundai sedan going about 40 MPH. At least it push my Accord about 40 feet, and accordioned the rear end right up to the back of the passenger seat. The car was totaled after only two years of ownership. I walked away with a skinned knee.
