racking up miles
I live in a rural area of North Carolina and things are sometimes a long way off. High mileage would be a killer for some cars, but the Honda Accord has a high demand used, almost regardless of miles driven. The dealer is pestering me to trade my 2016 for a new Accord because he has no used stock Accords to sell. The car does most things well and some very well. It handles like a German Sport Sedan and the build quality is similar. The only negatives after 30000 miles is yellow looking headlights, common for most cars, and in future my next set of tires will be expensive because they are 19". The car's computer registers between 30 and 35 mpg in mixed driving. My dealer has been very helpful and I have been servicing there since he charges less that most shops and I use full synthetic oil. I now have 37000 miles on the car and it still runs as well as it did when new. As of 9/2019 I have 50000 miles on the car. The only problem has been slightly warped front brake rotors. Premium replacement brakes for my model are not available, only the OEM style are sold. The "sport" model Accord has larger rotors that other Accords and, so far, premium replacements are not available. The stock battery is only 410CCA and I bought the battery box and hold down for the V6 and I am buying a larger 24F 750CCA battery. I cranks too long before starting and I suspect the smaller battery is getting tired.

Good price for vehicle as equipped
Fair price for a vehicle built on a solid reputation for reliability for almost 30 years.The more options,the more you pay.This vehicle was really loaded,and I am enjoying, driving and using it. I had only two disappointments,but I could be making an unfair comparison.I didn't care a lot for the drivers side blind spot mirror or the fact that this vehicle was not equipped with a hard drive.My other vehicle has great blind spot mirrors and a built in hard drive on which I can record up to 2400 tunes,however,I was able to record music onto a flash drive for enhanced entertainment features.Overall,I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this vehicle to others.My previous vehicle was a 2004 Honda Accord EX-V6 that was purchased new.

Well it did stall out at a dive thru...
Overall I like the car very much. I have 900ish miles on it. I need to take it to the dealership because last week it felt a little funny when I needed to quickly accelerate in traffic. (I gunned it) then 10 minutes later I was at a drive thru window and it felt like it was going to start sputtering and then it just shut off. It started right up and I got home with no issues. Otherwise I like the ride of the car, the interior is nice although I would like more storage. I really like the navigation in the car. I typically default to my phone and Google Maps because most navigation systems are a pain but this one is easy and up to date.

Pleasantly Surprised
Pleasantly Surprised with the features it have which even an Audi don't have (Adaptive cruise control and emergency braking) Plus a 35+ mileage in Highway )I got 42 on my trip south) With Apple Car play you don't need navigation anymore as an option, Rearview Camera , Keyless entry, Remote start, Push button start ,

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

Fantastic 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.

My first Honda (Accord)
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.

Worst car ever ! Never again !overrated car
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.

Gorgeous and classy !
This is a Honda, great quality, tremendous engine, low maintenance, beautiful sleek lines, durable, * top notch electronics, sturdy, comfy, gas saving, and lots of air bags. Safety features are amazing, like brakes, airbags, stabilizing features for bad weather, too. Heated seats, dual controls for air/heat. Huge trunk. Roomy inside, and a smooth suspension system. We love the deep "steel" gray color, leather seats, sunroof, etc. We get wonderful mileage. Now, 6 months later - we love it even more. Very happy repeat Honda customers.

Best bang for buck for economy car
As a long time Honda owner and having gone through 6 different generations of Accords, 3 gens of Civics - I must say the 2016 Honda Accord is bar none the best looking of them all, dare I say best looking of all economical mid sized sedans on the market. Exterior: LED running lamps and brake lights, dual chrome tipped exhaust, paired with the 19 inch factory rims (on the Sport model) really gives an expensive European look on the new Accord. Smooth body lines and the chrome trim pieces really makes the exterior a top of the line car to look at. INTERIOR: is simplistic and classy. The sport model isn't as flashy without the dual screen for navigation and apple play but it suffices for your daily needs of music, MPG stats, and the new feature of adding photos via USB. Gauge cluster is appealing and consist of a glowing ring that goes from white to green depending on fuel efficiency/how you drive. Spacious enough for 4 full grown adults with plenty of leg room in the front and rear. Middle seat in the rear is always uncomfortable but you can still manage to squeeze someone in without too much discomfort. Trunk space is very large and I haven't had any issues shopping at Costco and fitting anything I need to thus far. The bluetooth system is rather poor as I have had multiple issues with connections cutting on and off, since a recent software update on my phone though, I haven't run into the issue - however the lack of being able to voice dial by name is rather bothersome. Pandora and bluetooth connectivity for music works rather seamlessly, although I would rather have XM Radio capabilities instead of Pandora. The way around it is still to stream XM via phone and run it via bluetooth - but that does use up data. Engine/Tranny: It's got enough umpf for a 4 banger to get up and go when you need it to. The CVT transmission shifts flawlessly through all gears. Launching off the line feels rather sluggish, despite using the paddle shifters. There's enough power in the upper end and responsive enough on the freeway to get out of situational hazards. Braking feels solid and cornering the car really sticks to the road, it being FWD definitely helps pull through corners are high speeds than what signs recommend. It's no race car by any means but it's perfect for daily driving. If you want power and speed pick up the V6 model. Honda really stepped up their game with their new 2016 line up on all vehicles. The Accord is easily my favorite. I do however wish that I spend the extra money for the EX or EX-L. Missing the amenities of keyless entry when I have my hands full of groceries or having to reach into my pockets to find my keys. Sunroof on the warm days or cool summer nights. Auto dimming mirrors when driving in front of a truck or a small car with high beams on. Mostly the memory seats, as I share the car with my wife throughout the week and it's tedious to constantly have to adjust the seat and mirros. Heated seats for the cold winter days. Given that the EX-L is quite a bit of a step up in price compared to sport and has less the fancy 19 inch wheels and dual exhausts, I'd much rather have luxuries than the asthetics. If you've never had these features you probably won't miss it as the car asthetically is a huge upgrade for anyone. If you have had these options in a previous vehicle you'll miss it greatly. Overall I don't think there is a better car for value and looks on the market. The sport model is perfect for someone who likes to have good looks and value in their car - for the long term I'd recommend picking the higher model because you dont' realize what you're missing until you don't have it. But I'd say I'm still happy with my purchase.

All the Acura you could want for 12K less!
this has to be one of the absolute best values in new cars today! with all the luxury of a higher end car and Honda reliability what more could you ask for. HONDA SENSING is truly a must have, lane keep assist, brake assist and mitigation, radar cruise control, parking sensors, cameras and more its an great option for all to have. the Touring v6 sedan is a great buy at 35,000 sticker, its also sexy looking, fast and quiet. love this car!

One of the best cars for the money.
The Honda Accord Sedan is a near perfect bang for your buck. Great looks and Honda quality. I've gotten several compliments on the car and surprised statements of "That's a Honda". That being said I feel there are some minor tweaks that would make this the perfect car. I'd like to see the same power of my former Acura TL but not at the expense of the improved mpg. The entertainment interface is a bit glitchy, particularly the Apple CarPlay. Sometimes it will not connect and it seems that the technologies "compete" with one another. I'm hoping there will be an upgrade to the entertainment software that will resolve these minor but annoying issues. The front seats and not the most comfortable for long trips.

better than my BMW 335i except the drop top
the Honda v6 is an excellent value and great fun to drive. larger than the 335i, 6 inches wider and a foot longer but handling is excellent and has a more stable feel. I strongly recommend it

head turner
First off, I owned a 2012 Accord LX-P, it was a great car. We liked it so much that we just traded it in for an upgrade, a 2016 Accord Sport. It was a huge upgrade from our previous model, very sporty looking, drives and handles amazing and lots of goodies on the inside as well. You'll be happy with this car

Used to be better
-> As compared to my 2005 Honda Accord V6 EX-L, I found following items a step down in the new 2016 Honda Accord V6 EX-L: * Side door storage compartment used to be 2.5 times larger and could hold 8.5x11 paper as well as 5 bottles of water. Now, it fits 2 bottles of water and not much else. this reduction applies to all doors on all new models, at least until 2016. See 2016 MDX doors for space comparison, which is similar to what I had in my old car. * The space on the door where the window meets the panel and where the driver used to be able to put his arm is now half in width. the panel also is not secure and if you press just a bit you will hear squeaking of materials. It does not feel as solid as it did before and screeches a bit if you press on it. * The steering wheel is no longer ribbed at the bottom for your fingers and is just plain smooth surface. This as well as the material used in the older model was what made the grip feel secure, but not as much now. The new material feels like a softer replacement covered in chalk and making my hands slide. I don't feel as secure driving with this wheel, especially when hands are dry. * The entertainment system buttons are now gone and are replaced with touch screen. They did a decent job with 2 screens, but I miss the old round button for volume, it was convenient and fast. * Yet another miss is the center console. It used to slide out and extend forward to allow the driver to place his right arm and provide arm relief. Does not extend any more and is fixed instead. The space in the console has been reduced in half. * Space reduction also applies to the glove compartment which now also looks 40% of original size. It used to fit 8.5x11 paper just fine and that can not be done any longer. * The center console as well as couple of other parts are accented with shiny and reflective black plastic. These will need to be constantly cleaned and are prone to scratches just like a cell phone screen. Honda allows 3rd party to meld vinyl over these shiny parts at an additional cost, but it just sounds like an afterthought. * Very noisy at highway speeds. * Driver side split mirror is dumb as it accomplishes nothing. * The visors are thinner and sometimes the sun shines between the cracks. * The windshield no longer has tinted strip at the top, making it hard to drive with sun in the front. -> Furthermore, following are the trouble points I find with the new 2016 Honda Accord V6 EX-L: * Transmission is wacky to say the least. It shifts in and out, clinking and clunking at various gears and speeds. Most of this happens in the first 3 gears where I have to fight with the car to try and keep driving smoothly. This car is simply unable to drive smoothly. Often times I hear transmission click, smack, or make loud popping noise. At times it feels dragging in the wrong gear and vibrating the entire car as a result. At times, after standing at a traffic light, the car has a 1+ second delay after which it makes a loud smack and then hesitantly moves. Other times, the car has a delay between stopping and going, noticeable enough that in traffic it is very hard to navigate around other cars. Lastly, at times, from stop to go, it feels like it is accumulating power, then smacks the engine and the transmission gears, making loud noise, all the while going not that fast. It's embarrassing in front of other drivers who are looking at this soap opera. The transmission feels so bad that at times I want to just drive the car off the cliff. * The car has very poor stereo. Whether it is the problem with head unit, amplifier or the speakers, I do not know. But I can tell you this, the radio (AM/FM) has NO base at maximum or it is being leveled out by the system. XM radio has some base, but it is all over the place, along with mids and highs, and at times so much that the speakers are distorting and vibrating uncontrollably. Whoever put the system together is either tone death or got so many cheap ideas together that the entertainment system suffered a stroke as a result. Car has digital FM radio, but it keeps going in and out of reception, changing tones as such, and making the whole experience unpleasant. * I found brakes on this car are underpowered and it feels like it struggles to stop at times; though when stopping from highway speeds to a stop, they also sometimes feel like jamming - probably in combination with transmission gearing down. Long story short, it stops either too fast or too slow. Overall, I expected much more. I am coping with it at this point until I can get rid of it and get a better car with a decently working transmission. I do not think Honda is the right brand for me going forward, although, I really like many of the features and the previously left feelings from the last car as well as on paper features list.

2016 Honda Accord Sport
The Honda Accord Sport is a fun car to drive, gives you a smooth and agile ride. The vehicle has decent power but certainly not as much power as a Subaru WRX, Camry XSE, or Maxima. I enjoyed driving the Sport, no complaints in handling, response, acceleration, etc. I felt that Honda cheapened out in materials and amenities. The 19" Alloy wheels look slick but easily "curbed" and one of the tires had a sidewall issue under 17,000 miles. In terms of Amenities, the entertainment is sorely lacking....a 4 speaker system with a weaker wattage head unit. Even the CRV EX comes with a better system. While the pseudo leather trimmed seats look nice, you can feel the lack of quality. Other amenities such as heated seats or a sun roof would have been nice. Overall its a nice vehicle but Honda could have made even more improvements.

The exact car I wanted!
This is my 5th product by Honda. I had Transmission problems with 2 of them. One was covered under a recall, and the recent one was covered under the 60K powertrain warranty. This is my first V6 manual by Honda and I have to say it is very powerful. It does get away from you at times because it is front wheel drive, but it’s cool once you get the hang of it. The interior is very nice I lover the perforated leather seats. As for the exterior, I love the updated tail lights, daytime running lights and foggers. I wish I had the LED headlights though. Everyone compliments me on the rims. I wish there was more exterior distinction between the 4cyl and the V6 though. I love the throaty sound of the engine while shifting gears (it can get load inside at about 4 rpm’s though). All the tech is new for me and I love it… I wish it offered the DVD playback and the steel looking pedals. Overall I LOVE the car. I’d give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Honda Sense(less)
Honda sensing has some glitches: it has the annoying habit of braking when changing lanes, which can be very disconcerting stopping between lanes on a highway, the "brake" warning is extremely sensitive. The lane change camera ( which has been discontinued) completely "washes out" in rain, all you see on the instrument screen is water! The ridiculous spit mirror on drivers side - Fortunately both features have been discarded for the warning in the side view mirrors.

2016 Accord LX
##Update 5/22/2025## (75,000miles) Other than a pair of seized rear calipers, which was a disappointing failure for a relatively new Honda at the time, this car has been a pretty solid performer. Routine maintenance and tire change were the only expenses. Mind you, it was not cheap to replace rear calipers and pads at a Honda dealership.

Good car few issues with head unit
This is great comfortable car. Only issue is head unit got turned off and did not start back. Finally one fine day car battery is drained and I need to jump start the vehicle and the head unit is back to life. Head unit is dead for almost a week until car battery is drained and dealership could not diagnose the problem. Everything works well after the above mentioned issue and have driven more than 8500 miles and it is great reliable car. If we can spend some time and get the right seating position which makes you comfortable to drive for long hours we can easily drive 1000 miles a day on this car I have driven 935 miles in a day.

Nasty tires at 25000 miles.
Purchased new March 2016, at 25000 miles tires are way out of line for road noise, dealer claims it may need alignment, when I get the paper from Alignment specialist that it is not out of alignment that would cause the tires to act this way I will be back to dealer.

2016 White Rabbit
The longer I have the car the better I like it. Had no mechanical problems and the Gas mileage is great. Doubt I would be interested in the comparable 2018 model. Paddle shifters and the lack of a hand held transmission lever turns me off. Have read complaints about the dual screens in the previous models but the gigantic thing sticking up on the dashboard in the 2018's is a distraction.

Solid family sedan with a great V6
If you like to drive and want a roomy reliable family sedan with a powerful engine that sounds great, the Accord V6 is a good choice. After owning a BMW 3 series for 8 years, it was hard to adjust to this car. It felt too big and soft. But as I've gotten to know it, it drives smaller than it is, it rides well, it's quiet on smooth roads and the V6 loves to rev. It does its job well without making a fuss. It also gets good gas mileage on the highway and it's been very reliable. The Accord doesn't drive as well or feel as good as the best German sedans and I sometimes miss my BMW. But for the money, it's hard to beat and it should be trouble free for many years. If you are an enthusiast that can afford the best German sedans, they are worth the premium, especially if you lease them and get the advantages without the disadvantages (long term maintenance and repair costs). But for many enthusiasts with limited means, buying an Accord and spending a a few grand more for that great V6 is a winning proposition.

1st Honda
This is our 1st Honda after years of Toyotas because the grills on the new Toyotas are so ugly we could not bring ourselves to buy one. Still too new to answer some of the questions but looks great and rides great. Some of the technology is not so easy to figure out and there is a lot of it. The navigation system appears to be outdated already as some construction completed in the last 2 years was not recognized. No USB port in the back seat is inconvenient and the cup holders are too deep for small cups. Not nearly as many little places to store things as our Toyotas had but the trunk is bigger.

GREAT CAR, POWER,COMFORT, STYLE all in ONE
I bought one of these cars as I wanted the quality that comes with buying a Honda product and I am MORE than pleasantly surprised. It took searching the entire east coast OF THE USA to find one, and one dealer would not tell me where the car was. DEALER'S had wildly different prices out of the four dealers that had one. It is not a big seller and most dealers do not stock them, only the larger dealer's will buy one MAYBE two for the entire year. The car moves down the road with ease,power and gets looks from young and old people, most people do not what kind of car it is, most guess at a Civic, but they all say "NICE CAR !", and it is. Comfort, style, power and the latest in technology all wrapped into the most successful mid-size car of the last 35 years...THE HONDA ACCORD. I will take care of this car and I am sure it will more than take care of me. this Honda Accord has Leather interior, 360 watt/ 7 speaker sound system, 2 video screen's(one touch screen), 2 camera's, 4 way power drivers seat, power everything. It might be .5 second slower BUT The Accord Coupe actually blows that car away....and I loved my '93 Sunfire. This Accord Coupe should serve me well.

BRZ's big brother
Wanted something sporty and with a manual. Test drove a GTI, which was fine but not all that exciting, plus reliability questions. Also a Fiesta ST which was a lot more fun, but rough ride and kinda slow in a straight line. Also the Focus ST, which was roomier and more powerful but pretty cheap on the inside, with its plebian slip showing. The BRZ was a cut above the rest in terms of handling but underpowered and just too small for my 6'3" frame. And then I drove the Accord Coupe 6MT. Wow. This thing is a sophisticated monster that moves easily from being an aggressive sports car to a pleasant highway cruiser. The engine always has more, and the sound it makes is just right. No turbo lag b/c it is a naturally aspirated V6. It is as though someone took the BRZ, made it bigger, and gave it a more powerful engine. I have had the Accord a few months now, and my only regret is that they don't make them anymore. Power, sophistication, reliability. And fun. Jack Baruth is right about these things. If you can find one in good shape on the used market, grab it before it is gone.

2016 Honda Accord Coupe
Previously had the same model - 2008 - had 120k miles and ran like a top! Decided to get a new model and Honda had some incentives. Basically the same car - but the electronics are really a step forward (learning curve involved!) Pros: After a couple of years still very happy with the car's performance, styling and reliability. Cons: There has developed an annoying rattling sound from the rear speaker housing. Have taken in for service without success. The voice recognition is basically useless.

I got this car when it was 1 year old and have had it for 2 years and 7 months. There's not much to complain about. I don't regret getting this Accord. I'll probably keep the car and hand it off to my daughter when she starts driving, maybe, if I don't keep it for my own. Pros: Great build quality and solid material choices. The design elements are good. The 3.5L engine is a shining star amongst engines. The car is stable on the highway at normal speeds (55 MPH to 95 MPH). In sweepers it shimmies when the back has more weight in it. Probably a set of springs that are more progressive would help with that. I've had no mechanical breaks. It does most everything pretty well. Cons: Automatic transmission. It seems to buck the trend common to most ATs. When pushed, it is smooth, precise and does what it needs to, right when it needs to. The problem is when it is tootling along in undulating heavy traffic. The transmission bucks and bumps shifting between gears. A few times if seemed like it was momentarily caught between gears. Honda issued a TSB where the fluid is changed and the computer is reprogrammed. That TSB reduced the shifting issues to a very acceptable level, but don't expect an ultra smooth operation under all conditions. One other transmission quirk with many of the Honda 6 speed autos is that the first gear operation will almost seem like they are a CVT. Not a bad thing, but just something to note. Modifications: I have done a few updates/upgrades because I cannot leave stuff well enough alone. The rear sway bar was swapped out with a much stiffer version off of an Acura TLX. This helped a good deal with understeer. The low beam headlight bulbs were replaced with higher end LEDs from XeonDepot. The light output and distribution on the road is way better. Stick with the OEM bulbs for high beam unless you use them often and need far reaching light. If you do high beam upgrades, look into HIDs. The LEDs I've tried haven't been impressive in high beam application. The premium stereo system was mostly replaced. The stock system isn't bad, but if you really like your music loud and clear, you may find the stock system lacking. I kept the HU since the line out signal is pretty good for a stock unit. Non-EX/Touring trims will want to replace the HU altogether since the signal isn't good from those. You will need to use a LOC since the HU outputs are too strong for low level amp inputs and too low for high level amp inputs. An inexpensive Scosche SLC4 will work just fine unless you are going for a +$1000 level system. Lastly, I've replaced the OEM 'saw blade' wheels. They just looked ugly to me. I stayed with 17" wheels since 18" packages (wheels & tires) were more expensive and 19", in addition to be much more expensive, are a much harsher ride quality. Also 19" are a bad choice in areas with less than ideal roads. Maybe if I put a performance suspension under it I will go with 19", but for now I'm not inclined to try to force this sedan to transform into a full blown 'performance' sedan.

I love my 2016 Honda Accord EX-L
This is best car I have ever owned. I have owned over 10 different cars over the years, and this 2016 Accord is the best car for the money, I compared it to a Volvo S80, and a Subaru Legacy it is far superior. The ride, handling, comfort, features they are the best.

Miss my 2013 EX-L V6
I want to love this car, but I can't. I might upgrade my review if I don't have any more problems. So far one major, one minor. 1. Have the engine, transmission and cylinders checked out before you by. I had a failure at 600 miles. Have never had a problem before (this is my 5th Accord) 2. Insist on a replacement front window rubber strip-there is excessive wind noise at over 40 mph, a known issue. 3. If you are buying online, note that the beautiful Alabaster Silver has been replaced by Lunar Silver, which is more grey than silver. 4. Older buyers may find smaller fonts and controls on sound system frustrating. 5. This model has something called "limp mode". If I had known what it was before my car died suddenly, I wouldn't have been quite so scared.

Dying excitement on third day!!!
Ever since the 2016 accord release we were very excited. We loved the technology, safety and fuel economy, and of course the brand name Honda. Finally purchased one few days ago 2016 Accord EX-L 2.4L black and black. It looks amazing. New wheels style, drl, back led lights makes the car look stylish. I like the infotainment system and luxury looking interiors. However, all this excitement died out soon and now I am actually dreading to drive it already. The front seats are extremely uncomfortable, making my driving experience very poor. First day after an hour of drive I started to feel uncomfortable in the back. Thought I was still adjusting to the new seats. But the problem started to worsen. I have to drive about an hour and a half to my work and just after second day of use my problem is heading towards worse. Now third day and I am dreading to take it for the drive. The problem is with the lumbar support and seat structure itself. I love everything else about the car, but what's the use of a car if it gives me new health problems!!! Just above the lumbar support mechanism there is a band of stiff area which doesn't move, which pinches on the back. This is high up and digs a little into ribs on back. If I use the lumbar support to even it out, that makes it more uncomfortable. The support is too hard and poorly designed. Additionally, the seat's back and base are hinged such that it causes strain in the hips. Now my hips started to hurt as well. I have tried every setting possible without any relief. I am 5'8" with average built and I never had any prior back issues. I used to drive a Nissan altima without any problems and never had any problems with other cars I used to rent for long drives. But I am surprised to see accord is so uncomfortable. This problem is highly unlikely to be surface with short test drives, and accord is not a fleet car and usually not available to rent. So I never realized the problem. I really wanted to like the car but I don't know what to do now. I never thought a car which costs over 30k would be so poorly made. New buyers beware!!! If you have no issues with the seats I think it's a great car.

Cheaply Made and cheap looking
I deeply regret trading my Honda CR-V for the Accord Sedan. The car rides nice but it is very uncomfortable and hard to get in and out of. The seat belts definitely are not made for short people and getting in and out is difficult for tall people. The seats are a lousy foam rubber and do not provide any lumbar support. The fabric on the door panels are grey and are beginning to show signs of wear and tear with only 5,000 miles on the car. The integrity of the body is greatly compromised. I don't think this car is worthy of the Honda name and am already looking to get rid of it. After owning this car for over a year, I still don't think it is worthy of the Honda reputation.

I want to love the car but I can't
Purchasing a brand new vehicle for the first time in my life is a very exciting event. I had very high expectation from upgrading from used up 2004 Accord to brand new 2016 EX-L model. I love the design and acceleration, CarPlay is cool.... This could be a perfect car, BUT I can not understand how Honda can ignore two simple issues, that just make me thinking that this is my last Honda. The first problem is wind noise. It is simply horrible, not better than any other car from 90-s. No improvements at all on trying to make it a little quitter, to match up with competitors. This is really annoying and doesn't make any ride enjoyable. The second problem appears when I try to eliminate the wind noise by playing loud music. Guess what, load music causes vibration of the whole rear deck with the subwoofer. The stop light is so close to the glass, that light vibration of the deck causes the plastic to vibrate and periodically with high frequency hit the rear glass. This creates annoying rattling noise. So I make the volume lower, but then I here annoying wind noise... Most importantly, the dealer agreed to repair both of these issues, that cost me nothing but loosing hours of my personal work time. Both repairs are not successful and it was just a waste of time trying to fix manufacturer's pour design. Btw, the dealer doesn't accept that this is a result of pour design.... They offered the repairs covered by warranty, but they all were not effective with no improvements. Such confusing situation. Even if I am willing to pay to fix it, I can't fix it and no one can! I had to do what I originally planned to do, buy a more luxury but slightly used vehicle, in which, at least I would enjoy the ride while paying more for the repairs....

A Great Car
For the price you get the most bang for your buck with a Honda Accord Sedan.....the EX model is more than well appointed and this car is just the right size. Gas mileage is excellent. My Honda now has 26,000 miles and I gotta say they only things that needed attention are the usual (oil changes, tire rotations and wiper blades). I am just sorry that it took me so long to purchase a Honda. If I live to be a hundred I will purchase and recommend Hondas!

Down goes Honda
I have owned 4 Hondas and my last 2 brand new have been the absolute worst. This car is included. I bought it and was almost begged into buying the additional warranty, but thought it was just the finance person working extra hard. Apparently, he nee something that I didn't. I'm not impressed by a car doing what it is supposed to do. It's when it doesn't work that's the issue. The dual screens have blacked out-meaning no back up camera. The screens have locked up as well as the radio so I was stuck listening to the same thing. My locks malfunction so the only way to get into the car is unlock it manually. It has completely powered down/battery drained afer 30 min of radio listening on lunch -I didn't run the car full strength and had to call roadside assistance as my car -steering wheel and brake-locked completely. I currently think that it is being held together by a string and bubble gum. Going to get rid of it. This will be the last honda that I will buy. My last brand new crosstour had to have an entire front axle replaced after 3 years. I absolutely hate this car

The last of the true legacy Accord line up
I waited 2 long years to write this review; or should I said, 2 years from the moment I purchased the car. Being a avid car enthusiast, I got a hint through online forums and discussions that Honda will be moving to turbo engines in 2017 and going forward so I knew I had to act quick. I will elaborate...I have been driving Honda/Acura cars for the last 11 years, since I was 21. I won't waste time going into their reliability and quality, they have established that over the last 30 years. At the time of buying the 2016 Accord Sport 6MT, I was driving an Acura CL Type S 6MT and my secondary car was/is 1995 Accord EX 5MT. The CL was a great sporty car but it was aging (2003) and I wanted long term solution to my car situation as the 1995 Accord was pushing 250K at the time (currently is at 280K and rocking solid). I didn't want to wait for new generation Accords because I didn't want to go to turbo engines that are uncharted territory for Honda. I also didn't want another coupe like the CL and manual was a must so the natural choice came down to the Sport trim with the 6MT. I did several months of research and found that the 2.4 DI I-4 matted to a dual-mass flywheel clutch 6MT was a win-win as the engine has a timing chain instead of a timing belt and the dual mass flywheel clutch when driven hard but not abused under experienced driver (15 years of driving manual, since I was 16); that combo would provide close to 200K miles of no chain or clutch replacement needed, only minor tuning and maintenance on them. Both the 2.4 DI and the 6MT dual mass clutch are tried and true, no nonsense about them. On top of that, I wanted to get a 2016 model due to some great aesthetic upgrades, both inside and especially out. The inside for example, 2016 has red and black cockpit instead of white in 2013-2015, all black trim instead of grayish dash, phenomenal leather/steel shifter, aluminum pedals, etc. Outside there are so many improvements over 2013-2015 that I can't even count, especially those LED fog lights and 19 inch wheels taken from the Touring trim. To wrap this up, for the 2 years I've owned the car, I've only changed the oil 3 times (at 5K intervals, currently at 18K). That is literally it. The car is fun to drive, rock solid reliability, it's beautiful, it's attractive, it's got plenty of power, the 6MT is as good as a manual can be, AC is great, heat is excellent - basically, it's a complete car. What I also love about it that it's the last of the dying breed of simple interiors. No gimmicks, no space shuttle curvature of the dash, no goofy buttons, no LED RPM gauge; just classic interior with classic set up. It's truly a dying breed and cars like this aren't made anymore. Proof of that is the 2018 Accord, it couldn't be more gimmicky inside, starting with the aforementioned LED RPM gauge (cringe worthy). I should also mention that I talked the dealer down (spent a whole Saturday and half of a Monday there) to the invoice price; they frowned up having a manual car on the lot because they're a hard sell in Midwest Wisconsin, especially during winter months and it's a imported sedan. The fact I got it at such a great price makes it all so much complete. I will own this car for decades and plan on seeing it reach the same miles as my 1995 Accord (280K+).

Perky new Honda Accord V6 Touring
I love my new Honda Accord V6 Touring. It is quite large in the interior & exterior. So far the gas mileage has been ok; Honda stated it will take about 5,000 miles before I will see an improvement in the MPG. I love that it takes regular gasoline. I miss that there is not a good driver arm rest, but that is a small thing. All of the cameras are very helpful. I did not think I would like the Sensing package but they have been very helpful in backing-up and parallel parking. The steering ratio is excellent. The Honda Accord V6 Touring is a classy sedan, it is not like a “regular Accord”, therefore I hope that Honda creates a new upscale car-name to match the wonderful reality of this car.

BEWARE!! Accord 2016 has VIBRATION + moreproblems!
This car has serious vibration problems. At start up the engine vibrates and causes the steering wheel to shake .you have to put it into neutral to stop the vibration. The local dealer knows of the vibration problem on CRV but refuses to hear that there is a problem on the accord. The agents at America Honda never picks up the phone and are not helpful very negative, cannot send any written information .They said take it to another dealership.I am doing that. The seats are very uncomfortable after a long drive and the steering feels stiff on the freeway.The air conditioner and heating system are very poor works only at very high setting. I am smelling foul air from the air Conditioner system and this is not covered by warranty.The car is noisy on the freeway-wind noise. I bought the car for its excellent reviews! and customer service!. My previous car has no such problems. I am now questioning the reviews. I feel I have a lemon because no one reports this vibration problems etc. Do test drive for a long distance and check the car before you buy. On mine the vibration problem started 2 weeks after purchase. America Honda are very reluctant to provide any information or concrete help. The + gas mileage is good ,acceleration good.

Worst car that I ever owned!
I bought this car from Elgin McGrath dealership, in Summer of 2016. Before that I drove Camry 2009 and had no issues ever. Love that car! Now I gave it to my parents and they are enjoying it. With new "addition" (Honda Accord Sport 2016) in our household I started having all kinds of problems from the very beginning of my ownership: after just 1 month, voice recognition started failing, pandora stopped working, in a year or year and a half in winter the car didn't start one time (battery was ok though), heating system started blowing cold air and last winter I was freezing in my car consistently to and from work, camera failed 1 time and yesterday another time, car didn't start again when I needed to pick up my Mom from the airport 2 months ago, and there was also an issue when all of a sudden the car wouldn't accelerate when I pushed the gas pedal on the highway and on local roads too... I kept bringing my car for the past 3 years (since I bought it brand new) to 4 different dealerships on regular basis in hope that it will be fixed, but they didn't do anything, saying that they couldn't replicate the issue.. Years are going by, my car didn't start again and camera failed, voice recognition still doesn't work most of the time, instead of heating it blows cold air... Now my car is our of warranty and all these issues are continued, should they be finally "replicated", I will probably have to pay out-of-pocket at this point... Now, how unfair is that?! MotoWerks in Barrington was unbelievably inconsiderate and even rude to me. Took my car for repairing these issues multiple times, gave me a loaner, forgot about me for 2 weeks, noone made any contact, then when I called there myself to ask about the status of my vehicle, they said that they can't repair it because they can't replicate the issue and demanded their loaner back, while I had a surgery that day and was on bed rest! In June of 2019, during my next attempt to fix all these issues in my car, the manager crossed the line at all - while they didn't repaired my vehicle AGAIN, and didn't even care about it, he at that very same moment demanded their loaner back and after I mentioned that we have a death in a family and funeral will be in a day or two, asked if I could return their loaner few days later, in a meantime maybe they would finally fix my car, he not only refused me, but he also threatened me to call the police and report their vehicle "as stolen"!!! HIS RESPONSE WAS NOY ONLY DISRESPECTFUL BUT IT WAS EVEN SHOCKING!!! I was STUNNED!!! I dropped all my errands for the day, his threat ruined all the things for me I had to take care of that day, and I was forced to go back to the dealership to return them their loaner! That was my last encounter with Honda dealership before my warranty expired.. I've seen disrespect from sales people and managers on occasion before, but THIS ONE WAS BEYOND BELIEF! IT WAS AN OUTRAGE! THIS MANAGER SHOULD BE FIRED FOR SUCH MISCONDUCT TOWARDS A CUSTOMER! As to a Corporate, they are being of no help either!!! They just kept sending me back to the dealerships, where the system must have been designed for NOT finding a problem that customer is suffering from with a car, and REFUSE TO OFFER ANOTHER SOLUTION SINCE I CONTINUE HAVING THESE ISSUES BUT DEALERSHIPSARE UNABLE TO FIX THEM. If I ever get in to a car accident due to malfunctioning of my vehicle and manufacturer's unwillingness to resolve a problem for me, this will be THEIR FAULT AND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY! Hope I will be safe though until I buy another car. So... I'm stuck with a defective vehicle so far, dealerships can't fix it and corporate refuses to refund me the money by "lemon" law.. MY RECOMMENDATION - STAY AWAY FROM HONDA AND BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER!!! OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE STUCK WITH DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND YOU WON'T GET ANY HELP FROM ANYWHERE FOR AS LONG AS YOU OWN THIS CAR!!! By the way, I take excellent care of my car, drive it very little - for 3 years and 3 months it has only 20k miles on it.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HONDA TO ANYONE!!!
sexy car with not so great interior design
Outside is WONDERFUL however driving sites very low to the ground in the sport edition which causes the handling to be quite ruff and the ride just as ruff, the controls on the steering wheel are horribly placed and you constantly hit the dial a person button. The steering wheel is just awkward in general. Also the stereo system is terrible you do not get quality thats for sure.

love my 2016 accord sport
want looks? there are none better! owned it less than 2 wks and have been approached by numerous potential car buyers about its beautiful features. one who was torn between the sport and a Hyundai equus. ($75,000+) car. go figure! I could not have made a better/smarter choice. Remember though if you are looking for that luxury ride this is the sport, built with a slightly lower profile and stiffer suspension with the 19 inch wheels that complement the look and handling. I can never wait for the next driving experience, so I make up reasons to drive it. I love my accord sport and the cherry on top is that it's a HONDA and there is no such thing as a bad honda in my eyes.

Awesome Accord Sport
Fit and finish is excellent, style and design is top notch and quality and value is exceptional. A great all-around driving experience. After 30 months, the reliability is still exceptional, fuel economy is excellent, and "surprise" factor has not shown up at all. Solid ride. All basic maintenance accomplished easily at oil changes or annual inspection. 50 K before it needed brakes and still rolling on original tires. Replaced the tires at 60K, with an alignment and some basic attention the car runs great and still looks like new. Had to replace the floormats though, the heel on the driver's side was worn through... not as easy a task to obtain decent replacements as you may think. Honda parts cost were astronomical!

Good
Bought it for 23300. Very good so far. Had it for two weeks. Drove 1400 miles highway and averaged out 32 to 33 mpg. Kinda shifts to left but i think its just the wheel alignment.

Wind noise
After 69 mph wind noise is very uncomfortable. It is very pronounced on the upper corners of the front windows (right next to your ears -shoulders and makes for an unpleasant ride. The CVT transmission works great for most daily tasks but on prolonged down hills you can only shift it down to Sport mode or low which is way too short of a gear and I find myself riding the brakes more than I would like. I sure do miss a good stick shift , but it was only available on the Sports package with no leather and only two dark colors. I also find the that trunk is much smaller than our two previous Camrys, especially the opening.... I can barely get our large beach cooler in it. The best thing so far about the car is the looks, but as for practicality, I wish that I would have never had switched from Toyota.
