3 of 5 people found this review helpful
at 4.3/52,000 years/miles the ACCORD COUPE I have runs as good as the day I bought it. No problems, and is still a SHARP looking vehicle. I want to keep it for the long haul, 15-20 years, as it is no longer manufactured(2 Door Coupe, V6 Engine, 6 speed Manual Trans...all GONE!)........ but only time will tell if I do keep it !The reason being: after the car is a certain age, putting money into it is risky because if it gets hit.......totalled out....$$$ down the drain ! MY COUPE will last 10 years easily, and LOOK GOOD DURING THAT TIME AS WELL ! CAR IS PRETTY QUICK TOO !

I wish that I researched this car more. I had to get seat cushions because the seat was not comfortable, it was hurting my back. I had to get pedal extenders because I was sitting to close to the wheel and i couldn't reach the gas comfortable and adjust the wheel comfortably. I like the climate control and the fact that I sit high and it's roomy. I am getting used to the car and now I do like the car after all these adjustments. I just hope I won't have car problems like I am reading that people have.

2016 Honda Accord Sport 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
3 of 5 people found this review helpful
This car's days are numbered. The availability of a full size (OK, large mid-size) sedan with a manual transmission is nearly "non." Moved up from a manual sports compact with some performance upgrades (suspension/exhaust) to what I believe will be something softer and more mature. The 2016 Accord Sport 6MT is smooth and polished, beautifully built, commodious and quiet. The 6-speed is the most effortless and precise I've driven. A high volume dealer can help sort some of what is missing from the factory on this trim (heated leather seats) as accessory items. Don't let dealers affect a market adjustment on the car because of "rarity." 6MT Sports are only rare because the take rate is low. You can practically name your price and order it. The dealer will be happy not to have to finance it to sit on the lot. I am in the process of breaking it in slowly, but I will be reaching for that mid-6 second 0-60 soon enough. Wish me luck. *UPDATE* Highway gas mileage continues to impress, often >37mpg. Daily mileage around town with ECON engaged ranges between 30 and 32 mpg on summer blend fuel. Intermittent rattle from rear shelf suspected. *UPDATE* Just passed the 1-year. Looking good with only one minimally curb rashed wheel casualty. Some minor mods: Sport horn, UV tint, trunk tray and all weather mats. Gas mileage continues to impress even with winter blend fuel. Dealer unable to yet solve recurring rear deck rattle known on Accords. Issue has existed since 2013 so Honda should have figured it out by now. Little stuff like this diminishes customer delightment. It just cost them one interior star. *UPDATE* Gas mileage continues to ASTOUND. Using ECON average >33mpg mixed driving since last oil change. Intermittant rear deck rattle continues to frustrate. All else holding up very well. I am investigating whether disengaging ECON on long uphill grades actually enhances gas mileage by allowing the variable timing to work with throttle better under that kind of load. Any support for this theory? *UPDATE* At 20K miles, still playing hide and seek with the rear deck rattle. This is a black eye on what otherwise has been a stellar ownership experience. Dealership should expect to enact January 2017 TSB on this at next oil change. One relatively inexpensive modification made that has provided great enhancement: swapping out the stock 14mm rear sway bar for 19mm one from the Acura TL. Side by side the stock bar looks like a coat hanger. I am shocked at how much understeer and body roll I had become accustomed to. This is a SPORT for crying' out loud. UPDATE: both rear brake calipers seized within 1000 miles of one another with less than 50K miles revealing a weakness in the design of a major safety item. Handbrake use to secure the vehicle when parked is likely the cause but Honda has made enough manual transmission vehicles to not have provided parts capable of such sustained use. The response from American Honda bordered on rude, and unacceptable. because of a low 7% take rate Honda no longer offers manual Accords but their refusal to support their product’s premature failure is unacceptable. Docking two stars from reliability. That said, gas mileage using eco button remains stellar especially important in current situation.

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

The front seat design is hideous. Good luck if u have a bad back and if you don't you will by the time u drive it more than 30 minutes. I can see why they give such short test drives and no interstate access. Lumbar adjustment a joke. Turned car into to another brand because they Honda wouldn't work with me to put in a different vehicle. Returned car with 300 miles and the fearless hip where purchased offered an insulting amount to trade in. At least $7000 less after less than 6 days of ownership. WILL NEVER BUY OR REFER ANYONE TO HONDA AGAIN...

After taking delivery of EX-L NAVI and driving couple of days, I started to notice there is sound re-production is not well so I thought that it might be the audio settings to tune with. I make the changes in sound settings by changing BASS, TREBEL as well Subwoofer. After making changes to the audio settings, still there is an issue with the sound quality. At least I'm not expecting this kind of worst sound quality from the premium audio system. After few days, I've noticed that what settings which I've made for volume is changed to the lowest level at 10 and I correctly remembered that I've set to 15. I thought it might be my oversight so I've continuously observed the behavior. I've reported issues with the stereo due to the settings were not saved and sound quality is not good specifically with the FM and XM. After investigation, the service advisor reported back that there is nothing wrong with stereo. I was not convinced with the response. After that incident I’ve started continuously monitoring the stereo performance. Again, I’ve noticed that the stereo screens are not changing when I change the channels on the radio. I thought that might be intermittent issue and ignored at that day. On subsequent days, I’ve noticed that the stereo screen is freezing and it does not correctly report currently playing channel. So I took my vehicle to the dealership and explained the service advisor what is happening and showed him a video about the stereo behavior. After the investigation, I got call from the service advisor that my vehicle is ready to be picked up. So I went to dealership to pick up the car. The next morning, the issue again comes up and I went back to the dealership to report the issue. This time, the other service advisor has seen the issue and acknowledges it. He re-opened the previous RO for further investigation. After the feedback from Honda, they replaced the Tuner board in car. After 3 days, the same issue arises and I went to dealership to report the problem and for resolution. The service adviser told me that they have to replace the entire stereo unit. Till now, the resolution is not happened. After the numerous repair attempt, at the end the issue has been resolved but it introduced new issue. Now, the navigation system is always crashing. Last time when the navigation crashed, I'm unable to see where I'm going and I've got lost and it takes me additional 3 hours to reach my destination. My advice to every buyer of this model to thoroughly check the stereo and other electronic quipment prior to making any purchase decision. I believe this is the issue with all models. As most people does have a navigation screen on the main display screen and they may not be able to notice this weird behavior.
