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.

I rent all makes and models of cars for work (I travel quite a bit). I don't work for, or have any affiliation, with any car brand. I can say the Accord (I have a 2014 EXL) was my favorite in the mid-size lot on build quality, engine design, ride, and comfort. It's as if Honda knows this is a big seller car, and so puts in even a little extra engineering thought into their top seller. Paradoxically, yes, the Honda is a toaster in one respect (there are so many out there); however, it's this very reason the car is so well designed.

Terrible Transmission - Buyer Beware!

The CVT transmission on my 2014 Accord catastrophically failed when the car was 6 weeks out of warranty with 37,000 miles on it. It had been faithfully serviced by the dealership and driven sensibly. American Honda refused to stand by their product or give me any assistance whatsoever. A review of complaints on the internet, and discussions with local transmission shops revealed that there are a multitude of problems with the CVT. It is designed so that when it fails, the only option is to replace the entire thing. A reconditioned CVT cost me $5200. I've driven Hondas since the 1980s and have always been a faithful customer. Never did I expect this kind of quality failure from Honda, nor did I expect the company to be so cavalier about it. I gave three stars only because the rest of the vehicle appears to be solid. I'll never buy another with a CVT transmission.

tons of issues trying to get this car to start with the push button. 10+ Honda's I have owned, and this 2014 has had more issues than the previous 10 combined!

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.
