For $19.3k I think I got a terrific manual Accord. But only 600 miles so far, can't speak to reliability. I preferred the Accord's manual stick to the Mazda 6 manual stick. I swapped OEM tires out for Continental PureContact Eco Plus and was surprised at improved handling and even quieter ride. Much quieter ride than the Mazda 6. This is important to me, I like handling but low profile tires are a liability in the NE with its potholes. And the handling is plenty great with 16" rims.
Car stalls and doesn't crank
I wouldn't recommend buying the 2014 Honda Accord. It has a major safety issue and it isn't reliable. I've called AAA several times for a jumpstart. The dealer says there isn't a problem with the car but they are WRONG!. I just paid over $800 to replace the defective starter that the manufacturer repeatedly advised me there wasn’t a problem.

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.

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.

Unreliable! One problem after another!
Car started having intermittent starting problems at 30,000 miles (key start). What good is a car that doesn't always start and leaves you stranded? Google 2014 Accord starting problems and you will see hundreds and hundreds of the same complaints in cars with low mileage! Honda KNOWS THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STARTERS IN THESE CARS, BUT REFUSES TO RECALL THE STARTERS. Then they want approx $900 to replace the starter! The car has poor paint which easily chips, lots of road noise, uncomfortable seats and air leaks in by the passenger door blowing cold air at your hip in the winter. The temp controls are poor. The air conditioning is not very cold, either. I don't expect any car to be perfect and could live with some of these flaws. But, not with a car that doesn't start! I used to believe that Hondas were reliable cars and that Honda backed their cars...not any more! This car is way over-priced for the quality of the vehicle. Update February 2021: Honda has a recall on this model Accord for having drive shafts which could BREAK due to corrosion. Just had my car inspected and both drive shafts were extremely rusty and had to be replaced (car has 34,000 miles on it). Scary to know I had been driving around on parts that could break which cause me to lose control of my car! This is the second recall on this car...the first was for a battery sensor which needed to be replaced to prevent engine fire. Safe and reliable car? NOT! This was my first Honda and it will be my last! Update 2021: Rear brakes needed completely redone at only 35,000 miles. This included needing new calipers which rusted out prematurely.
