The car has really good acceleration and handling, very quiet, a nice firm ride, great outward visibility. But the controls are unecessarily complicated ,illogical, and difficult to use. For example, the radio volume you adjust with a knob, but to adjust the tone you have to turn on the information screen, which is dangerous to do when you're driving and quite simply a stupid way to design the controls. Ditto resetting the trip odometer. The car's manual is very poor--illustrations are very poor and explanations incomplete or otherwise inadequate and at least in one place (p. 29 on system settings) just plain wrong. The video disc manual is equally useless as it's just a video of the paper manual. In short, the design of the controls is stupid and the manual is next to worthless. The CVT transmission is very smooth. Car seems thin in some respects, e.g. the hinges for the trunk lid. I hope they didn't skimp on other things. After a year with this car, I have to say that it's a really good buy for the price--its performance is great, especially on the highway, and gas mileage is great, though 2 miles below advertised in town. Excellent highway mileage. But the design of the audio and temperature controls are difficult and just plain stupid as a design. Map pockets in the doors are too short and the console storage is too short because the cup holes are to large. Some interior plastic is cheap crap. Otherwise, the car performs extremely well on the highway. The care is a very good value for the price (I'm talking about the basic model.

Worst experience ever. Starting from the buying procedures, do you have the car in stock ? They say yes , cool , drove 20 miles to find out the car is not available yet and it is in another facility, they told me to try the regular accord 2016 , it would be the same , ok , i did not want the HONDA CARE ! And i told them NO I AM GOOD they still tried hard to convince and the financing manager did not feel ashame to keep telling me about how good it is and it would cover more things that the 3 years manufacturer warranty would , cost is $2400 , i only said ok because i knew i have 60 days to cancell , !!! And guess what eveytime i go to the dealership to fix an issue the first thing they say , oooh this is not covered !! Really ! What is covered then ! I had problems with wheel alignment the car was pulling , took it 3 times for the same issue , oh its not pulling and COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM and bla bla bla BS , i said fine. I will do that on my own never mind , then they called and say oh the manager said he will do the alignment for you , its like they giving me a favoy! Oh nice thank you!! And guess what. That paperwork that they gave me to show the alignment was performed was fake ! I still have the car pulling !! WTH ! When i boight the car i had a $1000 saving from a different dealer , but i still paid the $1000 extra for this dealership. ! The front and back suspension noise is very aggravating , you will feel like driving a tractor on a corn field!! The gas mileage is low 22 mpg combined and now its getting worse about 15 !! They only say oh we cant do nothing about it ! Really ? Who can ? Toyota? Probably yes ! Wind noise at highway speed , mirror shaking a little at high way speed , smoke burning odor win accelerate all COULD NOT BE DETECTED!! I think there is many fake reviews and ratings about this car ! they also offer me a FREE oil change to give then A GREAT feedback on a survey they would send to me ! Really. !? How about i will pay you double the price for your oil change and you just do honest work and service ! Never seen something like this before i owned 3 different vehicles and drove 7 different ones they were all used and never had an issue like this , this honda accord was brand new , tires and rims warranty was about $800 for 5 yrs or 100k miles , did not use so far , but we called once and they say we have to fix the wheels if we have an issue with them then they will send us reimbursement!! Will never buy a honda again.

My first Honda (Accord)

2016 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

This is my first Honda car. I've owned Honda motorcycles. I wanted a car that would be dependable and the Accord has a great reputation in that regard. I purchased a 2016 at the end of the model year and got aprox. $4500 off the MSRP. I purchased the LX with CVT, which is the most basic of the Accords. I don't believe in buying a $20,000 car and adding a lot of gadgets to make it a $30,000 car. With only 1000 miles on the dash, the car runs great. having only driven cars with a traditional automatic, the CVT trans. seems a little odd but I'm getting use to it. It has a smooth and quiet ride. With the 4 cyl its not a race car, but the 6cyl only improved the 0 to 60 mph by about 1.5 seconds so I could not justify spending about $8000 more for the model with the V6. Being the basic model it lacks the electronic seat adjustments which I miss a little. I am coming from a 2013 VW Jetta TDI. The Accord ride is softer and the steering is not as firm as the VW. I don't have enough miles to comment on the MPG. Over all a good value for the money.

Great car overall, but it has its quirks...

2016 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The car is comfortable, has excellent acceleration, but the part that I am not very fond of is how terrible the audio system sounds in the Touring trim. I just bought this new 2016 Honda Accord Touring V6 and immediately turn around and install new speakers and an amplifier. Other than that I don't really have any complaints about the car. :)

My first Honda. This is a high quality car all around. Smooth, quiet, comfortable and roomy. The front seats are very comfortable. I actually like the CVT transmission. Sure, low end torque is not great, but it is adequate. I never find myself uncomfortable, wishing for more power. At higher RPM's the little engine really pulls hard. It's impressive. There are quieter cars, but it is reasonably quiet. The gas mileage is insane! Rated at 27/37, I actually get better than 27 in pure city driving. I get close to 30mpg in the city. The new styling of the 2016 model is very attractive. Steering wheel controls work well for all of the infotainment system. I rarely use the actual touch screen. Honda Sensing is a nice technology. It's a very good deal for the price. Lane keeping assist actually allows you to relax a little bit more while driving because it makes all the minor adjustments for you. Collision mitigation can be fooled in certain situations, but not a problem, it can be overridden by the driver applying gas and/or steering. BTW - there is a trunk access button on the rear of the car. It is located slightly offset to the right side under the lip of the trunk. Another reviewer said the only way in was using the FOB, which is incorrect. Oh, and I love the push button start and the keyless entry. This is my first experience with it and it is great. I just walk up to the car with the key fob in my pocket and touch the handle, and the car unlocks. The key never leaves my pocket. When I leave and want to lock the car, I just press the button on the outside door handle. 3 year update: my opinion has not changed. Still driving like new. No mechanical problems. I’m very pleased with this car. Driving to work at a steady 65-70 mph on the highway, I get 40 mpg.
