2016 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
Before buying this car, you need to put into perspective what size the engine is and what your realistic expectations are for that car. (I've had 8,6 and 4 cyl. cars) Then think about the tires, if you get 19" tires you have less sidewall/absorption and you will feel more bumps on the road. Now for my review...This sedan handles very well for a mid-size car and I'm talking about suspension over bumps, cracks, pot-holes, crowned roads, steering, cornering, stopping, turning radius etc. For 185hp, it accelerates beautifully when merging and changing lanes. The transmission doesn't kick, skip, hesitate etc. when I'm slowing, coming to a complete stop, or accelerating like the 2015 Chrystler 200 that I rented. That was scary as I am sensitive to odd engine/transmission noises. The seats are ok and I haven't driven the car over 800 miles so I can't make a fair assessment but I can say that the lumbar support is my favorite in a driver's seat. WOW, the led fog lights really light up the road, love em. When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the trim, its very classy and pleasing to me. Then the leather trim with fabric seats was a good decision that makes us EX owners feel good about having some leather ;). I had leather before and I liked that I could clean it easily. It has plenty of room for elbows and arms, which is important and the back passenger can have comfort as well. Another thing I coveted were rear vents, and when I sat in my new car that was an awesome surprise! Bluetooth sound is clear, no "huh, what did you say?" in my convos while I drive. The Carplay is an excellent idea because you don't need to wonder about who texted you or where your phone is. Does that make sense? Oh and the lanewatch, I really like that idea, sometimes there's too much going on and I forget to re-re check, so its a nice plus. I'm still exploring the car and so far I'm enjoying it day by day. The radio has good sound and I'm glad I have the tweeters, which I noticed were not in the Sport or LX. I gotta hear my BPM.

The Standard for all family sedans to be judged

2016 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan w/Navigation and Honda Sensing (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The 2016 Honda Accord V6 is the most complete car under $35k; there are very few deficiencies and a solid driving experience. The honda sensing package includes a group of safety enhancements with radar cruise control, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning. The radar cruise control is really amazing, and I often find myself using this function for commuting as it will brake and speed up all on its own in accordance with traffic conditions. The lane departure is good feature, but is easily confused with bad pavement, but it is helpful to have. The forward collision warning is sensitive, but it is helpful. Finally, the honda lanewatch is pretty much useless. I tried it for a week with it coming on automatically on the right turn signal, but it was distracting. I use it occasionally on the highway to switch lanes, but as there aren't much in terms of blind spots, it is not very useful. The interior is very comfortable for four, I guess you can seat five, but I haven't tried it. My car has the black leather interior which is good quality and everything just seems to work. The navigation system is based on garmin, which makes the best navigation systems. Apple Car Play is really helpful and cool. The ability to text without typing or having to touch the phone is a huge benefit. Plus, being able to access Siri at a touch of a button is amazing. The V6 is strong when called upon with a sweet sound that reminds me of an NSX from my days of playing Gran Turismo on the PS3. During times when power isn't required, the engine is quiet and doesn't make itself known except at partial throttle at low RPM, when there is a little shutter from what I assume is the engine operating on 3 cylinders. I am getting around 34mpg on the highway and around 22mpg around town, with a very heavy right foot.

Finicky driver's review

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

I drive a lot to get to work. I've owned about 9 or 10 different cars (mostly honda's or acura's) and tend to be pretty critical of vehicles. Overall after 700 miles on a 2016 Accord EX (no leather or Honda Sense) I'd give the car a solid B-. Handling is good: not too much body roll and car goes where I point it. But I'd prefer slightly faster biting brakes. Ride quality is decent, but certainly not as smooth as these professional car reviewers say. Perhaps its only the higher end trims or the V6 with this supposed smooth ride, but my Accord rides firm. You feel most bumps. I also don't like how it deals with road undulations, the landing coming back down is abrupt. Vehicle quietness overall is very good: wind and road noise are generally well controlled. However there is some noticeable drone and vibration from the cvt and there are some squeaking sounds on interior panels when driving over certain coarse surfaces. Fuel economy is fantastic. I'm averaging 31mpg in mixed driving on regular. Stereo and infotainment are pretty good quality for class. And I really like the Apple Carplay feature.

Fantastic Car if you don't have neck/back probs

I have had this car for a month and driven 1000. Let me start by saying I have not had any previous neck or back problems. I had problems on the 1 1/2 hour drive home from the dealership. My right leg started to go numb and my neck was killing me. I just figured I didn't have the seat adjusted properly. I readjusted the seats and no longer had the leg problem. I was able to determine that the problem was with the headrest. It is angled so far forward it pushes your neck into an awkward position. I had pain and tightness running from the right side of my neck all the way to my lower back. I thought of just removing the headrest but that obviously is not a solution for safety reasons. For a month, I tried different seat positions and couldn't find one that work. I am very sad because I LOVED this car. Right now, I am in the process of trying to make a deal for a new Camry. If you look on line, you will see that the headrest has been a problem for many people.

2016 Honda Accord EX-L 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

First, let me say that I really love my new Honda Accord Coupe for the most part. But........... Here is what you need to know. The Good: The front seat is nice and very comfortable. Love the leather and the inside looks nice - also the outside. The build seems fairly solid. The car is quiet driving. The gas mileage on the 4cyl is unbelievable. I got almost 50 mpg on the highway...no kidding, it blew me away. The audio sound I thought was good. The Bad: The audio system controls are annoying and hard to get around. The car drives like a sports car (think 350z) - you will feel every bump. (If you're looking for a smooth ride, it's average at best...the ride is bumpy, but fun.) >>updated -- I think a lot has to do with tires. DON'T GET THE BRIDGESTONES -- very rough ride. Make them put on the Michelins. Or you'll be sorry. The USB ports were put in bad places. That's about all I can say on the bad side. Would I buy it again, I'm not sure - they need to fix a few things. I was hoping for a smoother ride. (tires) You'll just have to test drive it to understand what I mean. Make sure you take it on some rough roads.
