Used 2014 Honda Accord Sport 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
quality, fun and value
Did extensive review research for a sporty mid-sized sedan for around $25k. 3 made the short list Mazda 6 Touring, Subaru Legacy Sport and Honda Accord Sport. 3 quality cars. Legacy AWD makes it super-handler but less roomy and new model coming next year (worth a serious look i'm sure). Mazda 6 great looking, solid perfromance and excellent quality cabin. Accord Sport just pipped the 6 for it's understated but sporty trim, perfect balance & agility and sport mode gearing. It lacks a few creature comforts but for sheer driving experience and outstanding value it's the winner.
Check Engine Light on every 750miles.
First I should say my wife and I are pretty happy with the car. The fuel economy, standard features, overall performance are great for the price range. However the check engine light comes on about every 750 miles for a "evap canister" that is plugged. The dealership always says it is because I drive gravel roads. Well my house is 1.25 miles off of pavement. So I drive 2.5 miles of gravel each day. That in my opinion is a design flaw. So if you lived more rural than me...become friends with your honda service manager.

3 Days and I am impressed!!!!
I picked up my Blue (I forget the original name for the color) Honda Accord Sport 3 days ago. I was coming from a 2006 Toyota Camry SE and wasn't looking to trade it in, but the dealer gave me a good sizeable amt on it. After getting in and driving it, its like a dream. The Bluetooth, The Ride, The Seats, The 18in Rims.....the whole Sport Package. And thanks to Big Star Honda in Houston for making the process so much earlier than I thought. I was more inclined to the Mazda 6 (I owned a 2004 Mazda 3, but ran into alot of issues) before considering the Honda, but with everyone in your family with a Honda with a proven record, it was a question of don't take a chance....just go for it.
Accord Sport Tire noise
Mileage 0-10K Rotated tires. Started to hear rear tire noise. “Whop- Whop -Whop” 18K Contacted Honda. Refereed me to Firestone with consumer #. They gave me 2 new prorated tires 25 K Rotate and Balance 35 K Had bad flat on rear. Not fixable so buy 2 yokohamas from Discount tire 50K Rotate and balance. Noise from rear gets better when I rotate. But never goes away. 55K Take to Dealer. C/o rear tire noise. 4-way alignment done and rotation. Its barely out of alignment. Noise better? No? 59.8K 1/22/19 Buy 2 new Yokohama tires . Place on rear. Noise 80 % better. I think the other 20 % of noise is older tires now on front 59.8K 1/22/19 Get alignment. Completely in Alignment. Wheel Bearings checked and Normal. Stilled bummed I have a tire noise 60K Rear noise getting worse again. Best heard at 30-40 MPH. Not worse in turn. Louder w rear seat passengers 61K Tires rebalanced and Rotated rear tires to front(crossed). Result- noise moved to front 61.0K 2/11/19 Discount Tire replaced front Tires. Same type Yokohama 61.2K Front tire noise still present with brand new tires and I think is worse. 61.5 Take to dealer for opinion. Noisy tires are on front. They tell me my CVT is going out. I disagree and ask them to rotate tires. They disagree that the noise moves to rear. Will get 2nd opinion.
