2015 Accord at 45,000 miles or so, starter went out. After pushing the start button, starter spun. 8,000 miles later, it's acting up again. Honda will not admit to defect.

I'm a big car guy, this is a review containing detailed info for other DIY car guys. Nothing gets me more than the beauty of a capable, reliabe, and SIMPLE car. I have been nothing but happy with my Accord. I bought it used on an auction website with hail damage, got a great deal and shipped it accross the country. It started and ran with no issues despite having sat in a field collecting dust in CO for who knows how long. The only initial issue I had was a big crack in the windshield that wasn't noticable in the auction picutes. Because of the forward collision warning system, a windshield replacement using OEM glass is about $1000 (compared to about $350 for an average windshield.) Honda also said you have to recalibrate the FCW camera after a replacement for another $300 at the dealership, I skipped that and have never had any issues as a result, and the warning system has saved me twice! Only have three gripes with this car. 1) No apple carplay for this model year accord (BUT THE FIGGIN CIVIC MODEL FOR THAT YEAR GO THE FEATURE)--ugh! 2) For the manual transmission, the fluid that honda ships with this car is TRASH and causes random gear grinding. Very frustrating to an experienced manual driver to be doing everything right and still have a huge grind with the clutch fully depressed. Did some research, found Amsoil Syncromesh fluid, replaced the transmission fluid with my next oil change at about 30K and totally fixed the problem. One of my favorite things about this car is how easy it is to work on. I like to do everything myself, so finding out that changing the transmission fluid was just as easy as doing the engine oil was an absolute win! I can change both fluids in about 40 minutes, I do the transmission about every 30k miles now. The coolant is super easy too, changed at 50k and will hit it again at 100k to keep that water pump going forever. Brake fluid was easy, clutch fuild much more difficult and frustrating, hard to do with big hands. 3) No limited slip diff! AHHH, this was the most powerful honda to ship from the factory in 2015. Even stock, it had great power! The problem is when you're trying to jump off the line, because the power isn't balanced between the front wheels you end up spinning one tire which can make you lose control. Not to mention eating up one tire at a time! Also gives you bad torque steer when pushing 3rd gear to high RPMs. There's no aftermarket parts being made to remedy this missing part at this point. I myself have tried to pull together a group of people that want the part big enough that it would be worth it for someone to make it (only need 10-12 people.) But not enough people out there are modding this awesome car. You can get OEM parts for the Acura TL (which has the parts standard) and mod your car with that. But OEM parts are expensive for what you're getting. We want something beefy and made specifically for our cars! At the end of the day, this car is just great. Awesome features that really make you feel like you're driving a car from 2015. But at the same time the mechanics are not stupid complicated, so you don't have to worry about working on the car yourself. I've put some mid-level mods in myself without any issues. I have the intake manifold and throttle body from an Acura MDX, tip to tail exhaust with Hi-Flow precats, an agressive retune, and absolutely no check engine lights. If it weren't for the limited slip diff issue, I would pull the trigger on an aggressive cam and push the power well beyond 300whp. Dyno'd at about 290whp for now. I don't beat on the car too hard, and I maintain everything obsessively. My dream is to hand it off to one of my kids someday. I'd love to push it beyond 300k, and I'm confident that I can do it. At 70k with no issues now, looking forward to timing belt shotly after breaking 100k. Still on the original brakes, that the next project but I probably still have 35-40% left. Rotors will need to be resurfaced then too, as the carbon buildup is causing that classic steering wheel jiggle when slowing down fast from high speeds. It's mild for now, but will only get worse. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat. Just wish there were more people out there modding these like they do civics so there would be a bigger market for performance parts! Now I just want a Landcruiser to complete a family of warrior cars headed to 300k+ miles!

I test drove this car thinking I might like to upgrade from my current Civic EX Sedan. I liked most everything about the car. The seats were comfortable, the cabin is open and spacious and the interior seems to be high quality. The ride and handling were excellent as usual with a Honda. The only two drawbacks where the behavior of the transmission/6 cylinder engine with the "active cylinder management" system and the controls for climate and entertainment. The transmission/engine behavior is VERY noticeable each time the computer switches between less cylinders and all cylinders in the V6 engine. It is particularly pronounced in around town, stop and go type driving. There is a constant hesitancy when you push the gas pedal and you feel the transition from 3 cylinders to 6 every time. I imagine someone who was taking this car out on the freeway a lot for cruising type driving would be happy but if you drive a lot around town, you may be annoyed like I was with the behavior of the engine/transmission. Once it "makes up its mind" how many cylinders, it GOES with gusto and is extremely smooth and quiet. The other thing I found annoying was the entertainment and climate controls - talk about confusing! I could not figure out how to get just a simple FM radio station to play with all the press and toggle actions necessary and TWO screens to look at. Honda desperately needs to simplify this system! I could not imagine trying to manage this while driving - disaster! Other than the two issues I mentioned, this was an impressive automobile - maybe as they continue to refine this car, they will work out the cylinder management system issues and the logic of the controls!

Very good fuel economy. I exceed the factory posted mpg all the time, especially on highway. I reached even 42 MPG on highway for 100 miles trip.

Worst Honda I've ever owned.

This is my 3rd Honda and by far the worst. Loud air conditioning whistling when it's hot outside. Fan replaced but did not correct the problem. Hard vibration when stopped and in drive. Dealer claimed it was due to a broken engine & transmission mount, which was replaced. This did not correct the problem. It is worse than ever and now I'm being blown off by the service department because they can't figure it out. Check fuel cap light and check tire light comes on frequently and goes off by itself. I'm furious that I bought this car ( new ) . Getting ready to start a Lemon Law Claim.
