Used 2015 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Not your old Honda
Let me begin by saying I've had 4 Honda Accord Coupes since 1996 and worked for a dealership for many years; my first one was a 1989 Lx-i Hatchback, then a 1992 Coupe EX, next a 2000 2dr VTEC-V6, and sadly the LX-S. Accords have been with me for 20 years, and with the new model they went against everything that made their sport coupe special. A Honda is know for having great road connectivity, terrific driver-car symbiosis, sharp low-end power, and outstanding pedal feedback. The LX-S is tall, clunky, does not hold a line to the road, twitchy, and somehow they took all the feedback away from the driver. I specifically chose the manual transmission for control and vehicle connectivity for winters and city driving, and it feels like a computer restricted everything I did. I would even be just trying to drive in traffic and the car would rev down in anticipation of me shifting as part of Honda's CVT driver exprience, but ultimately putting me and pedestrians in danger. It felt like a ipod engineer made this car instead of a mechanic. Making user decisions without knowing what a road is like. It didn't feel like a car, after a year of it being undrivable in inclement weather because the car had a mind of it's own in rain and snow, I traded it at a huge loss to pick up an older 2008 Acura TL with a proper V6 VTEC engine and a vehicle setup that let the driver be in charge. Honda is now trying to be like Audi it feels, more gadgets and less car. My next vehicle will be probably be a subaru, a company that still lets the driver make the decisions. Best of luck folks.

Lumbar Back Pain
I just got the car a few months ago. I drive local and just to a trip from NY to CT. Nothing but pain on my lower back. My sciatic nerve down my right leg bothering me everyday since I got the car. 10 being the worst. The seats are poorly made. I can't wait to my lease is up. I'm looking to purchase a seat cushion and go to physical therapy. I'm really disappointed. I had a 95 Accord and I loved it. Honda makes great products. But the Comfort is a Zero! Don't buy if you looking for comfort. Also don't go by my review only. Google ' 2015 Honda Accord seat complaints.' Honda needs to correct this problem or they will lose customers.

I really wanted to keep this car for the long run
I'll start by saying I've been around Hondas my whole life. My father purchased his first in 1978 and has had 5 since. I have had 2 already and my 2002 Accord went through hell and back with me so I wanted another one. Except this car feels like it was made by Daewoo. About 6 months into ownership the car lost power. When I try to punch it, it feels like I'm dragging an 18 wheeler . It is clearly electrical but they insist in acting like it's all in my head when I take it to the dealership for a check. Best part is, I've already told them in two occasions I tried to set the speed for cruise control and it wouldn't, Again, clearly electrical but they won't own it. Buying Hyundai from now on
2 Door Accord, a Great Auto!!
The 4 cyl has more power than expected, 7 speed paddle shifters. Great breaking and Safety technology. Interior is beautiful. Super Happy customer!!

Less than expected
I was very disappointed in this car. My test drive went fine, but when brought it home and drove it for more than an hour, my back hurt. The head restraint position, and seat curves, are awful for someone 5'3". The engine/drive train started to produce excessive vibration through the steering wheel whenever it was in neutral. The navigation system, as others noted, is hard to use. It is almost impossible to find local stores without the exact address. Lastly, the road/exterior noise was abominable, especially at highway speeds. I used a sound meter, and this car had higher levels than almost any other car I tested, at all speeds.
