Design flaw in the doors

This is my third Accord. I can't say enough good about my 1997 and my 2007. I like my 2015 well enough, but I feel like some quality was sacrificed, maybe in exchange for the upgraded technology. Most notably, there is a design flaw in the doors. Whether I run my car thru the car wash, or use the do-it-yourself spray wand, soap and water collects under the bottom seal. After every wash, I have to open all the doors and wipe residual soap and water from the door jams and seals. It's like Honda wants the car to rust. My prior Accords' paint held up really well. My new car's finish is already looking cloudy on the doors and fenders.

In this update I have entirely deleted my original review for a more practical one two years into ownership. I have driven it through two winters now and I've decided that this car has to be the worst car in the world to drive in any weather other than sunshine. I spin out in the rain when I'm not even pushing that hard. The car is way to big and heavy for the tiny rims and it looks stupid. The seats are horribly uncomfortable for long journeys. The radio freezes all the time and won't even let me put FM/ am on or even a CD. The pandora thing never works anymore and I have a new phone. I asked Honda about that, they "have no idea". The car depreciated so quickly. There is just too many of them on the road these days. I bought it two years ago for 19500 and the trade value for my car with 12000 miles, garaged and never in an accident is 13000$. What a load of crap. I drive BMWs for the most part and when I bought the accord I thought maybe it would be the best for long journeys on the highway and for fuel mileage. However, every owner expects a little bit of versatility in their vehicle. When I drive to the grocery store in the rain, the wheels spin on start up. I rotated them and everything. It lurches in traffic. Honda said that a "design feature". In cold weather the engine will rev to 4000 rpm to get to 20 miles an hour. Poorly built, creeks and rattles come from all over the place. I'm never buying a Honda again. I'm sticking to what I know is a good car.

I bought my Accord EX-L 2.4L in November, 2014 and have 2200 miles today. For my new Accord, I was a little worried about the CVT, but became quickly impressed during highway driving with cruise control. Theres no constant downshifts with high engine RPMs and then shifting back to normal drive. The only thing you notice when going up a hill is the RPM gradually creeps up to maintain cruise speed and then slowly returns to normal low RPM, which is around 1400 RPM at 70 MPH. I love the passenger side camera/display for right lane changes. This car has the lane detectors for monitoring the center and right paint striping on the road. It beeps at me around 8 inches away from stripes.
Best Accord Ever!!!

I previously owned a 2003 ex 4cl, over the years I always observed the body style changes and always felt they got uglier and uglier, always glad I had my despite all the improvements on the engine and tech. Only earlier this year I started noticing Accord Sport, how sporty it looked. Even though I liked and thought it worthy of purchasing, I thought I'd avoid any unnecessary spending and stick with my car since for the most part it carried me where I need to go and because of it's age and condition (I really neglected it's exterior care after owning it for only about year) I never cared how I parked it and didn't care if I got door dinged or not. It wasn't until last month or so, my girlfriend's family needed to replace a car that they totaled and asked me to help her with haggling over the cost with the dealer. After that got done, all of a sudden everything I thought wrong with my car (mostly performance related) was heightened and I found myself looking at dealer websites and customizing the According Sport on Honda's official page. Then one week I decided I wanted to test drive it so booked an appointment on a Friday at the end of the work week. So I test drove it, not in any critical manner, and saw how sporty and attractive it looked and wanted to own so bad that I negotiated the price and bought it that same night, trading my own car in the process. The price I listed as how much my purchase was the price it would've been had I not traded my car. Luckily for me the Sport trim was what I wanted and it was only one level above LX but not any where as expensive as the higher trims with all their unnecessary safety assisting tech, moon roof (which I had on my 2003 but never used), and then some. What I did get with the Sport were 18" wheels and paddle shifters and 4 extra horsepower (not available with any other trim), not to mention, dual exhaust system, powered driver side seats, and it's the sportiest and most attractive of all the trims (as most reviews point out). The only one thing I would've wanted would've been the V6 engine which is not available in the sport. All the other niceties like rear camera and client control apparently come standard. Also, even though leather was not available with this trim I was able to upgrade the upholstery with leather and the standard interior color for the Sport Trim was black. The dealership tinted the windows as was their custom so I have a pretty bad ass looking ride. The performance on the 4cl Sport is surprisingly good with 189 horses. Also it offers a "S" or sport transmission mode that keeps rev's above 2000rpm so any acceleration from that point is snappy and quick and requires fewer large downshifts when needing a significant acceleration boost. Compared to a 2015 Camry SE which is the Accord's direct competitor, it pales in comparison. Even though on paper it offers almost identical features and one can purchase it for roughly 5K less than the Accord Sport, having driven the Accord and owning it, I would gladly pay the difference. First off, the speedometer is huge in the Accord and at the center of the display console while the accord is small and off to the side. The gaps between each 5 mile marker on the Camry is tiny making it much more difficult to maintain a desired speed when not engaging your cruise control. The front dash on the Camry is also too busy compared to the Accord's and the computer controlling the radio and center console controls is very slow. Every setting you choose takes 2 to 3 times longer for the computer to accept, very annoying. The Accord is also roomier inside than the Camry not to mention far more attraction (the Camry's front grille makes look like a Cylon designed it and the parking lights which run vertical along the front sides look like foo man chu whiskers). I love this car on a day I don't leave the house, after a shower just before bed, I'll take it out for a spin.

Two months ago replaced 2013 Accord LX with "the same" 2015 Accord LX. what a big difference. Every review saying that car was not redesigned. I made a big mistake believing them. I refuse a road test this time(to expedite), just picked the color. Biggest problem: very uncomfortable seats. For two months I can not find a comfortable position, it hurts my back. Car has new type of cloth on sits and doors, it looks nice, but picks up dirt as magnet. Second is road noise. I should say it is more wind noise, very loud, especially on the bridge in windy day. Looks like cheap quality of insulation materials. Engine also got louder, and you can fill vibration when idle on traffic light.
