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.

So Far, So Good

Purchased my 2014 Accord LX CVT new in late October, 2014. So far, they only issue I have had is with the TPMS light coming on with 94 miles on it. Dealer admitted they forgot to calibrate it when it went through pre-inspection delivery and apologized for the error. No problems since that happened. After all of the great Honda incentives, I ended up paying $19,419 plus TTL and took advantage of the 0.9% for 60 months. All of this makes this vehicle an incredible value.

So Uncomfortable . . and Dirty!

I've had my car for just over a year. I love the way this car performs. It's smooth, quiet, peppy, gets great gas mileage, and is and good looking. BUT I'm a 5'2" female and cannot get comfortable in the front seat! It's hard yet has absolutely no lumbar or side support. I've tried every imaginable configuration including bringing pillows from my house. Body fatigue sets in after only a half hour of driving. Also, the fabric on the seats is horrible. It shows every bit of dirt. It's entirely unforgiving and although I've only had my car for a year the front seats are very dirty. I've tried washing them with upholstery shampoo but they're still dirty. The door handle is another problem; some genius at Honda decided to put cloth on it! So you're grabbing cloth (beige in my case) every time you open the door.

Great gas mileage! Terrible steering wheel vibrations and ride harshness!

Gas mileage is fantastic BUT there is way too much vibration in the steering wheel at some speeds that's really annoying. It happens around 30-35 mph and again around 65-70 mph. Makes it very annoying to drive long distances. Ride quality is very stiff causing you to feel every bump and ripple in the road. The dealer updated the engine computer and rebalanced the wheels but the vibrations are still there. I'm now working with the factory rep to find out what's causing the vibrations. This is my first Honda and maybe my last if they don't fix the vibration problems.
It all went wrong.

Warrantee expires at 75,000 miles, at 78,000 it started burning oil. No indicator or warning light to tell you your engine has no oil in it so I started it up not knowing there was basically 0 oil in it and it cranked hard. Burns oil at about a quart a week now. Whole car is totally worthless. What a piece of junk.
