Buying considerations vs competitors
Considered Mazda6, Accord, TLX, Camry and Fusion. Ruled out last 2 for styling and reliability reasons respectively. Based on reviews and idea that I want something not everyone else has, Mazda6 was the front runner. Then I test drove all three. If price was somewhat close, I would have likely bought TLX (traded in a TL) but its a new model(no haggling) so price differential was just too much. Really liked the drive of the Mazda as do most people. Then drove the Accord and was actually surprised at how much I liked the drive and feel. It just felt good on the road and quiet. Not saying it drove better than Mazda, but pretty close. In the end, the Honda reliability and "feel" won me over.
Good car but still has error.
I bought my 2014 Accord 2.4 EX-L one and a half month ago. The first time, due to I just moved to Georgia, they denied to give me a road test with another state's driver license. The first time when I received it, it was a good car. But after 3 weeks, the Forward Collision Warning poped up random while nothing in front of my car and the camera was clear. I took it to Honda Service for 4 times about this problem. They told me that they checked everything and nothing wrong. When I drove the car home, it happened again and they told that it was weird situation. I need to bring it many weeks to check this problem, but nothing solved. The other problem is about the noise from the windows.

2014 Accord Sport Strut Problem
I usually don't write any negative reviews but when I was researching about the issue my 2014 Honda Accord Sports is having, I came across Dan's review here at Edmunds about the same car. He was going thru the same issue as I am going thru my car and at that point, I realized that I am not the only one going thru this issue and we need to make all the Honda owner aware about the issue. All the Honda owner should know that how Honda doesn't stand behind their product and this is the last things I ever expected from Honda. Like Dan, I started having an issue with my car when it had 15000 miles on it. I started to hear roar noise from the back tires and I took it to the dealership. The tires were cupped but they assured me that there is nothing wrong with my car and suggested me to replace the tire. I always do all my regular service on time. Like Dan, I also took my car to different mechanics, they all told me that it would be a waste of time and money but I got all four tires replaced anyway. Fast forward now, my car has 40000 miles on it and all four of my tires are cupped again. I was stupid not to get rid of the car then rather I invested all the money on new tires. Now Honda dealer told me that the tire is too soft and I need to get another pair of different brands of the tire which will solve the problem. This is the last Honda I will ever buy. HONDA DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

2014 Accord High Mileage 10 yr Run So Far
Car has been reliable and has driven well. Been 121 months and have 313K miles. Oil changed 53 times w/ full synthetic OW20 oil; transmission fluid 9 times (every35K); coolant 4 times; brake fluid 2 times; changed spark plugs twice; serpentine belt twice; brakes twice. Changed air filters about once per 18 months. Have replaced one wheel bearing and had one tire speed sensor go out. Blue tooth system reliability has been only a B. Comfortable ride for front and back seats, cruise still works well. No issues with AC, power windows, water pump, power steering, radiator, blower fans, exhaust train, etc. Steering wheel radio/cruise buttons' black paint fades away, need to touch up with acrylic paint. Very satisfied overall. Will run it until it dies.

Certified Pre-Owned Accord Sport
UPDATE 2: After two years of ownership, I parted ways with the Accord. It had developed a problem with the charging system. During the two years of ownership I was on my fourth battery, third alternator and second starter. No one was able to accurately diagnose the problem. I discovered evidence of this being somewhat common with the ninth generation Accord (internet search). Rather than dealing with this any longer I threw in the towel. I really liked that car and didn't want to give up but better judgement (my wife) intervened. I bought a 2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring. I hope I have better luck. UPDATE: One year in and loving my pre-owned 2014 Accord Sport. It has been a trouble free 17,000 miles. My first oil change was done after 9000 miles. I'm going by the built in oil life indicator. Honda recommends changing the oil @ 15% oil life remaining. I did add 1/2 quart of oil during that 9000 miles. This is something I will continue to monitor. The only accessory I added is the OEM splash guard set. I bought it on Amazon and saved $ based on what the dealer was charging. They were easy to install,look great and function well. I'm pleased with the performance and fuel economy. I'm averaging about 30mpg with 80% highway driving. A friend with a 2015 Accord EX (2.4L, CVT) does considerably better on fuel mileage but I know the CVT is much more efficient. However I was willing to trade fuel economy to avoid the CVT and I really like the six speed manual. The drive and ride are still quiet and composed. The Accord Sport is a great commuter car and I'm still very happy with my purchase and have no regrets. I would buy another Accord and probably will since I really like the Accord redesign for 2018. Original Review: Just purchased a Honda Certified pre-owned 2014 Accord Sport with the 6M transmission. I have only had the car for two weeks but I am very happy so far. This car is my daily driver for my 60 mile round trip commute. The Honda is replacing my 2008 Mazda 3 Hatchback (2.3 liter 5-speed manual). I loved my Mazda but wanted something a little more refined and still sporty. The Accord Sport has delivered on both. Definitely a more quiet, refined ride yet still sporty. Several magazine tests show the Accord Sport with the 6 speed manual is capable of a zero to sixty times in the mid to high six second range. That is a full second faster than the Mazda 3. The Accord has a great shifter and the 2.4 liter four does rev out nicely (and sounds good). So far the combined fuel mileage (per the on board mpg indicator) is 29.8. The EPA combined estimate is 28 mpg for the Sport with 6-speed manual. I have seen 34 on the highway. This is on par with my Mazda 3 so I am happy to have a larger more refined car with as good or better fuel mileage. The interior is nice and feels well made. The driver seat is comfortable for me (5'8" \ 160lb) and has a lot of adjustment. The steering wheel is both tilting and telescopic so finding a good driving position is quite easy. It has a dual zone climate control and the ac cools very well. The audio system sounds good and Bluetooth links easily to my LG phone. Pandora plays well through the Bluetooth link. The Accord is much quieter than my Mazda 3 so that is a nice change. It just feels like a more "grown-up" car. Obviously I can't speak to reliability yet but based on previous Honda products I have owned (1993 Honda CBR 1000F, 2003 Honda AquaTraxx, 1991 and 1995 Acura Legends) I feel confident that reliability will not be a concern. My Sport is the black onyx and looks very sharp. To me the Accords look much better in person. Pictures don't seem to catch all the lines and compound curves of the body.
