Used 2014 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
2014 Accord EX Sedan...Love it after 2 years !
My new Accord EX is excellent with its CVT and new engine. Plenty of power, smooth, and great gas mileage! It is now late February 2017 and I have around 45,000 miles on it! No problems at all - running great! The only changes I made was to add LED headlights, foglights, and parking light bulbs since I do a lot of night driving. The CVT transmission is excellent especially on the highway!

Reliable at an Affordable Price
Great car with excellent mpg. On a recent trip to Canada we averaged 38mpg. The only minor complaint that I have is the passenger front seat is uncomfortable on an extended drive. I had hoped the cabin noise would be quieter with less road noise.

The design is lazy and thoughtless
The Bluetooth works half the time and cuts the speaker and mic mid call, forcing me to randomly hang up on people, but not with the steering wheel controls. Oh no, not with those, because when the sound randomly cuts out, none of the buttons work and the call screen just stays there taunting me until I turn the car off or turn off my Bluetooth on my phone and then hit buttons randomly until it unfreezes. Either I have to deal with it until my destination or use my phone while driving, which I was trying to avoid by getting a car with Bluetooth. And when it does work, the speaker and mic are so terrible I can barely have a conversation. Plus, the road noise is so loud I'm often asked if my windows are down by people on the line. The lumbar support is ridiculously low, by at least 4"s on me. The media controls are so far away I have to lean forward in my seat to reach them, which is at least a break from the horrible headrest that forces my neck forward by about 45 degrees. The seat just moves weird too. After over 2 years, I still can't settle on a comfortable position. And it has the turning radius of an 18 wheeler. That combined with the inaccurate back up camera caused me to curb my wheels more than once. I drive dozens of different cars daily and haven't hit a curb in years. I gave up using my car port since it's too narrow to turn in to unless the spots opposite are empty. It has enough space in the cabin for passengers, which is a plus, but it feels excessively bulky. Back to the rearview camera, the guides that are supposed to show you the trajectory of you car, are off by at least 12". Backing up straight, the curbside lines are way too narrow, which defeats the whole purpose. I'm guessing no one told them that the lines are actually meant to serve a purpose? I'll help them out, it's supposed to help you avoid obstacles AND show you accurate clearance so when you're trying to park just so far from a curb you can aim appropriately. You're not supposed to show them they are a foot from the curb when their wheel starts grinding on cement.

2014 EX - rattling sounds are driving me crazy!
The vehicle is about 5 months old with a little over 4000 miles. About to take it back for the 4th time for rattling/ticking noises in the cabin. Dealer has looked at the dashboard, passenger door, center console. Now the glove box door is making a ticking noise. The night shift must've assembled this vehicle. Drivetrain works well, and love the passenger side camera. About what I'd expect from a $24,000 car....except for the ticking noise. Went from a 2000 Toyota Avalon to the 2014 Accord. The Avalon, with 232,000 miles, was quieter than this vehicle. Prefer driving my daughter's 2006 Mazda so that I can avoid the ticking noise in the Accord. Ticking noise is definitely coming fftrom the glove box door. I leave the door open and the noise goes away. Still very irritating. Gonna figure out how to take the door off myself. So disappointed. But other than that it's a pretty decent car. Should have stuck with Toyota though. Oct2017 update: Wish acceleration was a little more robust. Other than that (and the rattling glovebox) this vehicle is an exceptional value. I probably need the V6 version. Would probably buy again and hope for a vehicle that doesn't rattle.

Great car!
this is a green car. I love the sporty look and the interior is beautifully done. The only complaint I have is that there is some road noise which makes it hard to hear music especially on long-distance trips. But overall this is a great car!
