I bought this car new largely because of good experience with a ‘14 Civic Si 6-speed previously purchased and still owned. The Accord coupe was viewed as a larger, more sedate version of that car that more reasonably fit me (replacing a Miata) than a Civic. Initially I thought that the 4 cyl Accord mated to the CVT with paddle shifters would be a mileage compromise over a V6 automatic, with better performance. I’ve changed my opinion in that the CVT can function quite well as a simulated 7-speed and in that regard functions similar to other manumatics and doesn’t really remind you that it is a CVT. Performance and economy of the 2.4L with CVT has been a pleasant surprise. The coupe body style is handsome, but in retrospect the sedan is probably more than a bit more practical, but also less fun to drive. The car is solidly reliable, fairly comfortable in a sporty way and certainly economical, but insurance costs are way higher than they should be (check those out before buying). After driving a Ford Fusion Hybrid rental recently, I was reminded how much more road noise gets transferred with the Honda cars. Traded Feb 2020 for a 2017 BMW M249i conv.

I really LOVED my car when I bought it. The beautiful styling and nice wheels stood out from other brands and models. After having my car over a year my LED daytime running lights went out TWICE and the dealership didn't want to replace them but mentioned that it was an issue from other customers. I paid almost 6 hundred to get them fixed even with Honda paying half of the repair cost. After this incident my a/c fan became VERY noisy and would constantly stop working. I had to get it replaced out of warranty. Besides these issues I like my car overall.

Best purchase I have ever made. My husband and I just moved to Columbus and were so nervous about buying a car. We did some shopping around at dealers and always came out feeling completely ripped off. Then we tried using Edmunds price promise. Best choice! We selected the car we wanted and then just found a dealer near us. Asked all of the dealers near us for quotes and then went and got it! Saved thousands through Edmunds and we are differentially going to use it when we have to buy our next car. :) As for the car...it's a Honda. Great ride, great placement of controls, looks so cool driving :) Also crazy adjustable. I am 5 foot and my husband is over 6 feet and we both are able to fit in the car perfectly! I am completely thrilled with my buy still months later and don't see that changing soon.

GREAT car. Love the Sports mode. Love the handling. Just make sure you don't need to get people in and out of the back seat a lot. FUN TO DRIVE and get GREAT gas mileage for a V6.

Overall this is a very good car, but I have two main issues with it: the sound system is poor, and the transmission "jerks" the driver as it shifts. The sound system does not handle highs and lows of sound properly. I expect much more out of the "premium" seven speaker sound system I paid extra to add onto this car. On researching the issue, it is apparently inherent in the output for noise canceling in order to keep the care quiet. But it ends up making the audio terrible. There used to be a solution to this as described on internet forums: what you would do is open up a secret menu on the screen, then set "FLAT" to off. But, in newer versions of the car Honda has taken the ability to modify this feature away. Thus I am stuck with this terrible sound. The second issue I have with the car is the transmission. When upshifting or downshifting there is a noticeable "jolt" or "jerk" to the car. This is FAR worse in cold weather. If you live in a climate that is cold year round, I would avoid purchasing this car. From what I have read, this is somehow due to government requirements to implement shifting to keep gas usage low (supposedly). Besides these jerks, the car with v6 engine does accelerate fast. Otherwise, the main way the car shines is with its tech. The lane sensing ability is pretty good at staying in lanes. If you let go of the steering wheel, the car will beep at you after about 30 seconds to touch the wheel again. You can get the car to fully take on lane sensing by just lightly putting pressure on the wheel but letting it do all the work. Careful on turns and at exits - it tends to lose its way. Adaptive cruise control is a feature I never knew I needed. This dramatically increased safety on the highway, highly decreasing your chances of hitting any car. But if you are in a high traffic area, best to turn it off. The car leaves too big of a gap in that case and lets other cars sneak in front of you. Then the car smashes the brakes to but another gap in between you. It's not too much of an issue once you get to know your car but can be annoying. There's a right sided blind spot camera that's neat but for some reason not one on the left side. If you accelerate toward a car to fast and get to close, an orange light beeps at you to warn you. It's helpful. The display panel interface is pretty wonky to use, not user friendly. Apple Carplay is an amazing addition (it's not easier to use by touch than just using your phone, but it does look very nice on the screen. The integration with Siri comes in handy. I find myself using it to navigate). The car seems to be tight on steering. Overall the car is very quiet. Bottom line, this is a very good car. But the problems with the sound system and transmission hurt its performance. At $30K for a V6 touring Honda Accord, I can't help but think I'd be better off with an Audi.
