I love(d) Hondas. This is my 3rd Honda. Certified, not even 3 years old, right at 50k miles on it. Car will not start. Replaced battery. Still will not start. I look online and realize that it is due to a faulty starter, which Honda continually denies. Now I am not sure if I want to pay upwards of $500 to replace the starter, probably multiple times, when I could just get a different car and not deal with this nonsense that has accompanied this practically brand new vehicle. Come on Honda... really disappointed.

2014 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

My wife and I just put 600 miles on our new Accord Touring on a road trip through the mountains. We drove up to an altitude of 12,000 ft. The roads were full of hills and curves that would have been perfect for a driving a Porsche or BMW, but we found ourselves more and more impressed with how solid the Accord handled and felt. It had tons of passing power, yet still averaged 35 MPG overall. Consider us impressed. I have had nearly a dozen high-end European cars over the past 25 years and the Accord comes surprisingly close to their level of build quality and features. I'm not sure it's worth spending the extra 20 grand to get the satisfaction of knowing other people envy what you drive.

Our 2014 Accord EX-L Navi is our fourth Accord, and our seventh Honda. So far, this 2014 Accord is the best ever. Superb seats, roomy, quiet, peppy, and an overall resounding ring of quality. In reading other '14 Accord reviews, I note a range of complaints...and while many of these complaints may be well founded, one must recognize the Accord for what it is...for it's value. What other car could I buy like this for less than $27K! We have owned several BMW's and other "luxury" vehicles. Most (but not all) have been a bit nicer than the Accord, but when rating any of them relative to their initial cost and maintenance costs, all fail to even remotely compare to the amazing value of the Accord. Our '14 Accord is now 2+ years old, and continues to run flawlessly. Like all my past Accords (and CR-V's, and del Sol), I perform all of my maintenance. Oil changes @ every 5K miles on this '14 are a virtual snap, with super easy access to drain and oil filter. The highest mpg recorded thus far was 41.4 mpg for one full tank, but this was a rare event which involved almost exclusively 55-60 mph continuous driving. I usually witness about 32-33 mpg overall per tank, and overall life of vehicle mileage is 31.9 mpg. The singular gross disappointment with this Honda does not directly involve the vehicle, but rather is aimed singularly at the Navi system. This Honda Navi system has to be the very worse system we have ever used. Not only is it difficult to use, not intuitive, but it also is inaccurate in providing directions. The solution thus far has been avoidance...we simply use our iPhones or portable Navi...but disappointing appreciating the $1K option price. Update 11/29/2016: This '14 Accord still proves to be the best Accords (and best Honda) we've owned. Although I had some doubts about liking the CVT transmission (we've had several manual and traditional automatic transmissions in past Hondas), I've learned to really love the CVT...especially when using cruise control in situations where more power is demanded (mountains). The CVT is near seamless, with RPM's rising to the needed power...but without any noticeable downshifts that one would experience with a normal automatic. Likewise, acceleration with the CVT is amazingly smooth. No CVT downsides at all. Update 5/30/2017: Really nothing new to report...and am doing so as Edmunds requested an update. Our Accord continues as one fine car. No complaints whatsoever, other than the lousy NAV system which we simply avoid. The bluetooth in the sound system is very good, sensing our iPhones immediately, and allowing us to stream music/podcasts from the iPhones through the sound system. Nice feature. I mentioned earlier that I have owned several "luxury cars". This '14 Accord continues to rank right up with the best of all of them. The only vehicle I have driven that conveys more confidence and stability was a '97 Lexus LS400. While the Lexus was one very fine vehicle - it also had an new purchase price almost three times of this Accord. Overall mileage remains at 32.9 mpg, with highs around 35 mpg. Update 5/31/2019 The Accord continues to perform admirably...excepting a CVT quirk. The car now has 37K miles. As to the CVT quirk...if the car is parked for a period greater than two days, the CVT hesitates to move when placed in reverse. The reverse hesitation is minor...about 3-5 seconds. The car does slowly begin to move in reverse, and once moving is normal. Subsequent attempts at reverse are smooth. The reverse deal is ONLY after parking for 48+ hours...the longer the park, the more accentuated the reverse lag.

2014 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Recently forced to purchase a vehicle, rather than playing another round of used care roulette, I bought this Accord. Why? GM has blood on its hands, Ford (previous car was rusting out at 9 years/no more money to Ford!).Toyota (my last new purchase)got stale fast. Mazda 6, was a shoe in, but seat was too 'tight' and lots of black plastic, didn't bother driving it. The Honda's rear seat is huge! I was skeptical about CVT (almost bought 2013 because of it) CVT is great "magic carpet ride". I'm a gear head, but drive moderately, it's a very nice package. CVT has a couple quirks, but it's great, I now think traditional transmissions to feel antiquated in most situations (normal driving).
I should have bought Camry

While the car is not bad, there many things which are extremely cheaply made. My car just past the basic warranty started to have trouble with rear door actuator. Honda wants $300.00+ to replace it. I had many different cars with power doors like Mazda, Toyota and Nissan and never had so many annoying problems. I should have paid the $500 more and bought the Toyota Camry. There is a reason why Toyota's are rated excellent by Consumer Reports and Honda's are average. The old saying applies here that cheap becomes expensive. Also Honda does not stand behind it's product. The actuator issue is not new, they even settle a class action suit for millions of dollars. It was on a different vehicle made by Honda, but I am sure that the parts are made by the same manufacturer. Two more actuators failed. Honda won't acknowledge the problem.
