Used 2014 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.

Worst ride for a family sedan - Shameful Honda
Driving over bumps at low speeds is a bit stiff but not an issue. Driving over freeway bumps - more drastic changes of height between two cement sections, like a couple on 241 and 71, is dangerous. Not only the entire car almost catches air, the driver and passengers are launched upwards. I had a 2000 Civic Si and even a 2006 Mustang GT that had a cushier ride. Shameful how bad this last iteration of Accord turned out to be. And reliability is an issue too - Accessory belt broke leaving driver stranded , at just 10000 miles (My old Crown Vic has a service interval of 100000 miles for this belt), and the starter broke at 40000 just beyond the warranty - and according to the dealer this is a common occurrence. The starter replacement requires removal of the intake manifold costing $1200 for parts and labor. It took me a week to get Honda to pay for part of the repair.
