I've Owned an Accord Since 1983, Why Change Now?

The 2014 is a nice upgrade from my 2003 Accord. The cabin is nicely appointed, and the new technology is fun to use.

Great gas mileage, nice acceleration, drives well, will last you forever as long as you keep up with preventive maintenance. This is my second Honda Accord, they do not disappoint if you want reliability, a lot of bang for your buck and good gas mileage.

Start by looking at the paint condition and attempt to obtain maintenance records. Appearance is an excellent indicator of care.

Mileage 0-10K Rotated tires. Started to hear rear tire noise. “Whop- Whop -Whop” 18K Contacted Honda. Refereed me to Firestone with consumer #. They gave me 2 new prorated tires 25 K Rotate and Balance 35 K Had bad flat on rear. Not fixable so buy 2 yokohamas from Discount tire 50K Rotate and balance. Noise from rear gets better when I rotate. But never goes away. 55K Take to Dealer. C/o rear tire noise. 4-way alignment done and rotation. Its barely out of alignment. Noise better? No? 59.8K 1/22/19 Buy 2 new Yokohama tires . Place on rear. Noise 80 % better. I think the other 20 % of noise is older tires now on front 59.8K 1/22/19 Get alignment. Completely in Alignment. Wheel Bearings checked and Normal. Stilled bummed I have a tire noise 60K Rear noise getting worse again. Best heard at 30-40 MPH. Not worse in turn. Louder w rear seat passengers 61K Tires rebalanced and Rotated rear tires to front(crossed). Result- noise moved to front 61.0K 2/11/19 Discount Tire replaced front Tires. Same type Yokohama 61.2K Front tire noise still present with brand new tires and I think is worse. 61.5 Take to dealer for opinion. Noisy tires are on front. They tell me my CVT is going out. I disagree and ask them to rotate tires. They disagree that the noise moves to rear. Will get 2nd opinion.

6 Years In: So Far So Good! (Still true, but...)

Considered a VW Golf (2014) after doing a test drive since I found a dealership that sold both Hondas and VWs...very rare. The Golf was fast and really fun to drive, won't lie about that...but I'm a former VW owner (prior to 1998) and they are not without their issues. The salesman I spoke to on the lot worked the Honda side rather than VW, and he said the overall fit and finish of Honda vs. VW can't compare. With VW being German-made, any needed repairs are going to cost you twice as much as they otherwise would with a Honda. I'm no stranger to VW's and their quirks, usually which involved leaving me stranded at the most inconvenient of times, and I was over it. Since parting ways with my last VW, I've purchased (all new) a 1998 Honda Civic CX hatchback, a 2002 Honda Civic LX, a 2008 Honda Element LX (had major brake issues with this vehicle and sold it) and now own a 2014 Honda Accord LX. All previous vehicles have had manual transmissions...a preference developed after having an auto-trans Mazda 323, which forever turned me anti-Mazda...nothing but problems with that car, worse than anything one could conjure up when complaining about VWs. I've been VERY happy with my 2014 Accord LX. Gas mileage has been on the low end 28mpg with city driving, to as much as a whopping 43mpg when holding steady at 55mph, highways and driving conditions permitting. Much like many others have mentioned, the seating fabric/door fabric could be improved because it leaves a whitish sheen from leaning on it and/or stains easily on seats. The electronic adjustments could be more user friendly. I'm not an electronics person and don't care otherwise, but the system can be quirky. Mechanically, no complaints. Haven't been in for anything more than routine maintenance and a recall regarding the battery sensor. I'd advise changing out the factory tires as soon as you can, because you'll be replacing them by 20K miles anyway. Car is perfectly roomy for 5 adults...plenty of leg room in the rear seating. Trunk is roomy, but entry could be wider. I'm a massage therapist with a full-sized table that barely fits because the rear wheel wells cause space issues. A minor complaint, all things considered. I always buy LX Honda models because I don't care about all the extra frills on a car. The Accord is probably more car than I need, and with the body style changes in the latest Civics, when it comes time to purchase another car I'm considering a Civic. LISTEN UP, HONDA: KEEP A 4-DOOR HATCHBACK AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES, AS WELL AS OFFERING MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. The major change Honda needs to make is more lumbar support in ALL MODELS, from the Fit on up. Seems to be an issue across the board from consumers. Honda also needs to replace all halogen headlights with LEDs. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this vehicle to friends and family, and Hondas in general. Can't go wrong! Time to Update in 2020-- Everything I mentioned above, particularly the annoying fabric issue. Still a pleasure to drive/own this car, but I've found that I'm starting to get bored with Hondas in general. Much as I love my Accord, I'm afraid to even consider a CVT transmission, not only in Hondas but in multiple car brands. I'm a long way off from buying my next car since my Accord LX only has 62K miles, so we'll be together for another six years, minimum. My only MAJOR complaint in six years of ownership is the AC. Took a road trip during the summer of 2018, and sweated like a Tijuana whore the entire trip back to Florida. Thank god all it took to fix this was a can of recharge air, but that was annoying enough. I've owned four Hondas, and NOT ONE OF THEM ever had AC issues. When it comes down to buying again, much of what will factor my decision is a dealership's willingness to negotiate and give me the best price, in addition to doing my damnedest to try and find a vehicle that doesn't possess a CVT transmission. And for the love of God, Honda...get rid of the HRV and bring back the Element in the low $20K price range. You've overpriced your SUVs. The consumers deserve better.
