Used 2016 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews

WTH? This is a Honda?

Good, generous wide interior. Of all the cars we test drove, this model felt the roomiest-width wise. Instrument panel is good, well laid out. Looks nice. Good tech service. Salesman was obnoxious and aggressive-would not by from him every again. I bought a Honda Accord due to everyone's hoopla about it and it's supposed reliability. With mine, wind noise is terrible as is rain noise. Not much more to say about wind noise except that it's awful loud on highway. When it rains, the water runs down the windows and side of car which is very loud. Transmission is sluggish but I'm was told that is the "new" transmission system Honda uses. Fuel economy isn't particularly note worthy, not terrible, not great. Based on my first experience with a Honda Accord, I am not likely to buy another one.

Great For Leasing, Expensive to own

+Pros: 1. Nice redesign, but a little too much chrome on the outside. Would have been nice for some details in black instead of chrome, plus, I personally don't like chrome -- it's cheapy/tacky looking bling and it blinds people driving behind you. 2. It's a V6 and fast when pushed (but also a future con.) 3. Great highway gas mileage. (Also a con) 4. The front seats can be moved further up than before, great to prevent kids that kick and ruin the leather seats 5. Dual screen, but they still haven't updated the camera screen, still looks like a webcam from the 90's. 6. Finally, a rear spoiler on the V6 model, but you pay for it with it being only on the Touring Trim level. 7. Very nice rims! 8. Beige leather is very nice, so is the Orchid White paint. 9. Remote Start. Still have to figure it out. When I activate it and then get into the car and it says hold the break and push start, then car turns off. What's the point?? Ugh. +Cons: 1. Timing Belt replacement (you're looking at a $1200 replacement including water pump and tensioner) and hope the mechanic you get installs it properly without causing more harm than good trying to squeeze into the crammed in space to replace it. They still refuse to use a timing chain on the V6 line. 2. Cost to replace engine mounts: $500. 3. Cost to replace the 7" touchscreen when it goes, and it will die eventually and I highly doubt it will make it 10 years. 4. Stupid idea to put the music controls on the touch screen and no physical buttons to operate it. I still can't stop playing music without having to navigate the touchscreen to turn off the music. At least have a on/off music button or touch button like the Pilot has* 5. Wow, still no rear HVAC control? 6. Still no rear USB ports? 7. Piano Black Gloss? Really? It's a swirl scratch magnet plus distraction in the sun from the glare. Who thought this was a good idea? 8. Keyless ignition, while nice, why didn't you do what you did like the Pilot with an illuminated Button? Anyways, it's a con, because when that goes, it's about $1200 to replace. 9. Subwoofer tends to rattle the rear window, though the audio system does sound better then the 2013 V6 I had. 10. HD Radio sounds aweful, I really wish they also included an analog reciever.** 11. Gas Mileage / VCM Engine ... I just hope that after the class action lawsuit of previous generations due to the VCM design, this engine doesn't eat oil and foul spark plugs. Summary: All-in-all, it's a great car to lease, but not buy. Too many electronics that can go bad down the road that would raise the Total Cost of Ownership thousands of dollars more. If they provided a 8 year 100K warranty on the electronics, I say go for it, but at 3Y/36K standard, it's a future money pit, even with "Honda Care" at another $1200.00 You're better off with the LX with the least amount of electronics that can go bad. My final note: Great For Leasing, Expensive to own, esp. if you plan to drive it into the ground, and before you drive this thing into the ground, I bet you it will do that first to your wallet in repairs. UPDATES: 1. * I found the Audio On/Off button, it exists, it's to the left of the CD Player. Unlike the Honda Pilot EX-L which has it on the Touch Screen. 2. **There is a way to change the HD radio preference (personally, HD Radio sounds like someone talking through a tin can, aweful.) If you dig into the menu screen, you'll see the option to default to Analog Radio as the first preference. Addendum to Pros: 1. Great visibility outside of the Windows. 2. Breaking is responsive. Other: 1. When driving on the I280 in NJ, I noticed on the curves at around 65MPH, the road handling feels slippery. Maybe it's the new tires? Not sure, but it's not road gripping, more like fishtail/slipping. 2. My Goodness, on the Touring Trim, All Season Mats and Mud Flaps should be standard!!

Sharp, Solid, Powerful, Fuel Efficient, Nice Drive

One of the things that drew me to this car was the refreshed exterior for 2016. Hands down, to me, it is one of the best looking mid-size cars out right now. I have had my Touring edition for almost three months now and I continue to get compliments almost daily on the looks of the car. Even when I see one on the road, I have to admire how good it looks. Exterior wise, this car looks perfect with its sculpted lines, curves and LED headlights, daytime running and tail lights. Honda really has made this Accord stand out in the looks department in comparison to other mid size cars in the same price range. I took the car on a few test drives before making the decision to trade my 2011 Camry SE V6 in for the Accord Touring. My original review on this car a few weeks back was less than stellar. Since driving this car for a period of nearly three months now, I have grown to love this car. Every car is going to have it's quirks, but this one does not have many. Overall, the Accord Touring is a very impressive car for the money. I only have three slight issues with this car and they are listed below. 1. Lack of physical knobs for adjusting volume and scanning for stations. You don't realize how useful knobs are until you don't have them. After three months of driving, it is not as bad as it was initially as I am now accustomed to tuning and controlling the system mainly via the integrated steering wheel controls and touchscreen, occasionally. 2. Overall sound quality from the 360 Watt Premium sound system is marginal. Coming from a JBL system in a Camry, I may be a little spoiled in this area. Even with the sub and bass turned up the highest setting, the audio still seems weak. I've tweaked just about every setting possible, but still can't seem to get a rich, deep sound from the system. I stream mostly via Bluetooth. When connected directly via Apple Carplay, the audio sounds a little distorted. The sounds seem muffled and distant when directly connected for some reason. After playing with the settings a bit more on numerous evenings in the garage, I have the settings to where they produce the best sound, at least to me, so I am now satisfied. 3. V6 Performance - Perhaps the Camry SE v6 has spoiled me in this department as well as that car had plenty of power and pep when needed. The V6 Accord is just tuned differently I guess. It seems to be little sluggish initially but when it gets going, the power eventually comes. It just doesn't feel as lively and peppy as I think it should be. Don't get me wrong, when the shifter is put into Sport mode, the car behaves very differently. When not in this mode, it just seems to be a bit unresponsive and sluggish. I do love the fact that the car is very fuel efficient on the highway as I typically average about 31/32 miles per gallon when driving long distances at highway speeds. (Note: after recently experimenting with "Sport" mode, I have grown to love this car even more. When you need the quick start, Sport mode will give it, effortlessly. Even when driving on the highway in Sport mode, just a slight touch on the gas pedal and the car moves very quickly! It's good to know that it is there when needed but I wouldn't advise keeping the car in this mode full time as fuel efficiency will be greatly impacted.) In my initial review back in early February, which I have replaced with this one, I stated that a trade in was imminent. Well, that is not the case any more after driving this car for nearly past two months. I had made my mind up to go back to a Camry, specifically, a 2016 XSE V6. This Honda though has changed my thinking. The Accord is more fuel efficient, has more up to date technology and luxury features standard, with the Touring model and overall is just a more exciting and fun car to drive. I've driven the XSE V6 and personally, it does not have that exciting road feel, driving experience that the Accord has. For someone who likes to feel the road, the Accord is the better option in my opinion. To me, this is the best looking Accord Honda has ever designed. I've secretly been an Accord admirer for many years but never said anything to my wife or acted on it as I always told her we'd only own and drive Toyota's in this family! However, from the outside to the inside, this is one sharp looking car and I had to make a move when I saw the 2016 Accord Touring. This is my first Honda, as I've owned and driven nothing but Toyota's but if the reputation and reliability of this car lives up to its name, this will not be my last Accord. I really love this car and look forward to driving it every day!

Liking Accord Coupe more and more

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.

Really Nice Car!!

Ok I'm a Honda and fan and I've owned several Accords over the years. This 2016 Accord Touring is the best most sophisticated Accord yet! I really love everything about the car EXCEPT the interior room. I'm 6'5 and this model has the least headroom I believe ever. I'm tall but very lean and I feel tight and a bit cramped when I drive. My 2009 Accord V6 was way roomier and I sat far more comfortably. People complained that model was too big but I loved it. I still love this car and highly recommend it except for really tall people like me.

Honda 2016 Sens Accord

Road sensor is very good, though it puts too much distance between you and the car in front of you, annoying drivers behind you.

A perfect car ... if they'd just put radio knobs!

Mechanically first rate. Beautiful, head-turning car. Comfortable and convenient. The only negative we've found - and it's a big one - is that the radio is totally touch-screen.

The Wife's Car

This car really has some zip and acceleration upon command. Very surprised by it. It's a very good thing, though. I'm afraid that I'll get a speeding ticket if I continue to drive this car. I have so much fun driving it.

The Accord is still the best midsize sedan

This is the 4th Accord my family has owned, and it's the best yet. The EX model that we just got has amazing features for the price, including remote start, AndroidAuto/AppleCarPlay, moonroof, smart entry/putshbutton start, dual zone climate control, rear seat AC vents, etc, etc. Love the LED daytime running lights, fog lights, and tail lights. As always with an Accord you get great comfort and room, sporty handling, and excellent sight lines all around. The last is quite important, since most cars these days have poor visibility out the back. Excellent power and gas mileage. Compared to previous generations of Accord this car is quiet and powerful. Love the car so far.

Great Car

KB 2016 Accord Sport

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.

Great car marred by infotainment & dim instruments

This is a great car marred only by a maddening and slow infotainment system and instrument panel lights that are difficult to see with polarized sunglasses. The infotainment would be okay except the touchscreen symbols frequently need two or three pushes to make something happen. The infotainment control wheel/button would make an acceptable substitute for dials except for the delay when you push the button to change from, say FM to Sirius/XM. It's measured in seconds - come on Honda these are electrons for heaven's sake. The instrument panel lighting control doesn't seem to want to work unless the headlights are on and it is dark outside, and then you can't turn it bright enough for daytime use to offset the view through sunglasses, especially the gray-on-black center portion of the display. Hopefully Honda will check he simplicity and clarity of their past designs and get serious about a do-over. Then the Accord would be a perfect car. Update: Very comfortable. Wonderful engine. Transmission occasionally loses its way on slow acceleration after stop signs. Tire pressure monitoring system DOESN'T MEASURE TIRE PRESSURE! Within all the convoluted infotainment screens you can't find a simple diagram showing tire pressure at each wheel. The TPMS calibration feature can't activate unless the vehicle is stopped but the calibration only takes place after the vehicle has been running for awhile at 30-60 mph so it can measure rolling characteristics. When the air temperature is very cold, say 10 deg F, and all four tires are equally underinflated, there is no warning. I'm beginning to think all the best Honda engineers were working on the NSX. Please, please, please Honda give the infotainment system a massive overhaul, including a TPMS system that actually measures and shows tire pressures. Update 6/2018: A very good car that continues to be marred by electronic glitches. Bulletproof transportation. Wonderful for trips with a very powerful, very smooth engine with decent gas mileage, low 20s around town, high 20s highway. Leather seats comfortable for tall (me) and short (spouse) alike. Large, well-shaped trunk. No squeaks or rattles. The automatic (non-CVT) transmission occasionally stumbles over itself pulling away from a stop sign as if it can't figure out which gear to be in, but once rolling it is a dream. Throttle tip-in is quite sensitive making me feel like a beginning driver, even though I've been driving for over 40 years. The remote fob is overly sensitive, fully capable of popping the trunk lid while the fob is in my pocket, in my second floor office. The infotainment hell continues, the latest being that the USB port in the center armrest cubby has decided it only wants to recognize my music stick some of the time. The rest of the time it shows a big Unplayable warning. The USB port in the dash doesn't seem to have the same problem but with the stick in place the flap door can't close all the way. Would I get it again? Maybe, if the infotainment undergoes a massive overhaul, if the fob could be made less sensitive, if the transmission could be fine tuned, but then again, maybe asking for a modern car to be free of digital gremlins is asking too much. I may even keep it when the lease runs out. The good far outweighs the bad.

rear tire noise

At around 35000 miles the rear tires began cupping and it has gotten increasing worst. The tires are Bridgestone, I am unsure if it is the tires, rear car's springs, shocks or the suspension. I now have 40000 miles on the car, it has had multiple alignments and checks with no positive results and I now need new tires. Will revisit this review if I am able to resolve this issue, America Honda was less than helpful.

Awesome coupe

We'd always been Mercedes people until we got this Honda Accord Touring Coupe and it outperforms every car I've ever had before with its amazing technology and comfort. It integrates with iphone and android so easily and reads texts out loud! The stereo is awesome to us! It looks great, a collectible shape/outline for sure that will still be beautiful 20-30 years from now (just like other beautifully designed coupes now 25 years old, e.g. Audi coupes, Mercedes coupes and others). The children love driving it the most and couldn't care less anymore for the Benzs.

2016 Accord - The Beautiful Beast

I personally have the EX model and I love it from in and out. The exterior looks really modern and classy and the interior is just amazing. The drive feels really comfortable and stable as well. No problems with mpg consumption. Really happy with my car.

2016 White Rabbit

All in all I like the car. It's not as comfortable a rider as I would prefer on roads other the interstate. Very pleased with the MPG. Just returned from a 1860 mile trip, mostly interstate but about 300 mile 2 lane country and about 100 small town. The entire trip averaged over 34 mpg. Interstate speed 70-75. 26-27 mpg is the norm for my daily trips. I consider this very good for a V6.

Lease and will Purchase

Great looking car. Nobody believes it's a Honda. Easy, no hassles or headaches. Handles extremely well for a front wheel drive car. Very fast. Love the engine sound. If there were such a thing as a future Honda classic, this may be it. They don't make them anymore.

BEST BUY

Good car for the money. Period.

Helen’s Honda

Excellent vehicle, no major or minor issues. Handles great, smooth ride, comfortable and great gas mileage. Traded in for a Honda CRV

Great looking car and good value

First off, this car is very sharp! I bought it 3 years used on lease return and have had numerous compliment and people thinking its brand new. The exterior and interior are sharp. High way mileage is 37 mpg and 39.5 mpg in econ mode. City I average 23-27mpg, 32.5-34 mpg overall. for 185 Hp its very sporty and the CVT transmission is easy to get use to. The "rubber band" feel isn't bad and I like how smooth it is. Good leg and space room. The EX-L is worth the extra $. Lot's of features and key less entry, push start and such makes it feel like a nice luxury car. The seats are decent, people complaining should try the civic and see how much better this is! Cons: little bit of wind noise on high way past 65 mph, but is minor and not even noticeable with if the stereo is on low. Stereo is so so, could of been tuned a little better, but gets the job done. I would like volume knobs, but you learn to live without. The center arm rest could be longer, but still usable. Overall a very nice car for the $ and I'm happy with the purchase.

Love the car

Have had the car since August 2019; I love it, has been up kept well and in good condition, constantly get compliments on the looks of exterior and interior, well put together, just wish it wasn’t a cvt but it’s cool.

2016 Certified Accord EX-L Outstanding Deal

This is my 9th Honda Accord sedan. I love the car. The only wart is the ride at times. 90% of the time the ride is good enough-handling is good. 10% of the time when the road is bad, the ride is very rough. But I can live that. The most important issue is transmission performance to me. There is no delay that it makes it an unsafe vehicle like some other cars. I owed an upscale Honda product-Acura TLX. Mine was of 2015 vintage with 4,300 mile when I sold it in September 2016 and I only owned it for a year. I did not feel safe driving it. A variant of the 6 cylinder with the 9 speed ZF was the powertrain. That transmission strangled the 290 horsepower, and the VCM on top of the 9 speed completely neutered the Acura in question. The transmission shifted erratically and 4th gear took too long to engage. The Accord is not for everybody but for my being an Accord fan it is A- and just great. I got this car as a Honda certified with 6,300 miles for with a pre-tax price within + or - 4% of trade-in value. Clean CarFax and AutoCheck accident free. In service date of 1/12/16 - thus, 7 yr Certified warranty ends Jan 2023. I got a wraparound First Automotive warranty that expires same day as Honda 7 year that includes a ton more components than the Honda 7 year powertrain warranty for a nominal amount. The dealership that I purchased the car from was Rick Roush in Medina, Ohio. The sales personnel, Tyler Roush and Tracy Hammond, were extremely helpful and did an outstanding job. A recent listing for a used identical vehicle in a different color was originally listed with a Ford dealer at $28,476-way too high a price. This Ford dealer just reduced it after a few days to $26,810 for a non-Honda certified vehicle-a fair price but not a great price. I did extremely well in my purchase of this car. Again my hat off to Rick Roush Honda.

To many issues

I would not buy a accord! Transmission problems at 6000 miles....engine shudders...

Wonderful Car and Easy Buy!

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.

The Accord Coupe V6 is an AWESOME daily driver!

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.

April Accord Aggrevation

Its a great car, and the dealers know it, so you have to haggle a lot to get a decent price. I had to walk from the same dealer three times and refused to return until they eould deal.

Excellent on technology; falters on audio & shifts

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.

Do not get the CVT

Bought a 2016 Acord early this year. In less than 6 months it has to go back to the dealer for some CVT software fix. And the dealer closes by 4 so have to take it on the weekend. Did not plan pn spending my weekends at the dealer when I bought this car!

Love my Accord!

This car is amazing. Great comfort and technology as well. The front LED's are wonderful looking, as well as the rear ones. AWESOME GAS MILEAGE!! I get an average of 33 mpg, and my 2013 Fusion got only an average of 30mpg! I highly recommend this over the Fusion..or any car!!!

16 sport

Love the car,the only thing I would want to see them add is a sunroof. I love the sensing package it's saved me from a possible collision already.

Disappointed

I'm just making my 2nd payment today on my 2016 Accord and it is in the shop with electrical issues very disappointed. I really would like to return it now. I went from having a Nissan and wish I had went back to Nissan.

Disappointed with suspension

2016 Touring needed front struts, rack and subframe replaced due to clunking from day one. Honda was unable to fix my vehicle and ultimately bought it back under Lemon Law(after fighting with them using an attorney)

I like this car

Lets face it if you are looking for a fun car that is going to make you smile every day from the shear joy of driving this is not the car. But if you want a stable solid car that gets you there safely, and the Honda Sensing makes it safe its hard to go wrong. I am getting about 30mpg, in a large safe quiet car that is easy to drive for 1000's of miles. I don't know how quickly it goes 0-60, don't know how fast I can corner on some extreme road, but I do know the brakes and other stuff that keeps me alive works.

2016 Honda Accord Touring Modern Steel Metallic

Saved money switching from Acura TL. Same interior and same size engine as TL.

okay car

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.

Honda Fail

This is Honda number six for me, but sadly, the last. Purchased with 8k " certified". Car was delivered with multiple problems, broken power seat, interior rattles, and damaged paint. Certified indeed. Have owned for three months and have been to the dealer nine times and counting..... Cannot remedy the multiple interior rattles. On the plus side, looks amazing, drives fine but not exciting, pretty good gas mileage. But not enough good to overcome the poor quality construction, dealer deceptions, and a complete lack of support from American Honda. update: kept this one year and bought a new jeep cherokee, a car consumer reports does not recommend. at 10,000 miles it is flawless, drives great, and has never been back to the dealer

UPDATE

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 !

Not going quietly in San Marino Red.

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.

NEVER AGAIN

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...

Buyers, Beware of the Stereo and other electronics

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.

2016 Honda Accors Touring

If your a Honda Accord fan than this is the car for you, new in 2016 the exterior and interior looks great for the Accord specially the Touring. I just purchased a Touring which is the highest trim on the accords and it's fully loaded inside and out just a great car, review it check it out and go for this trim not basic trims, you'll love it !

Very pleased with this car

Overall the car is great. The cargo area is a little skimpy. I would like to be able to individually turn off the vents on the right and left of the audio system display. I especially like the backup camera and the passenger sideview mirror camera.

Excellent value, great looks, beautiful redesign..

We had the same model Accord for 10 years and it was going strong with 130,000 miles, never in the repair shop once. It was wrecked in an accident so it was replaced with same model, Accord EXL. The new 2016 model is fantastic value for the money, a timeless design, very reliable, great on gas, and great resale value...not that we'd ever sell it! Loads of passenger room, very comfortable front and back seats and good size trunk. The tech is quick to learn and works very well with android (me), or Apple (my wife). Not a single thing I could ask for on this car.

A Real Dream Car

I am a Honda-for-life person. I was in a T-bone collision with an SUV about a month ago as the driver of my 2008 Honda Accord sedan. The airbags deployed properly, and neither I nor any of my three passengers was seriously injured. That put the lynch pin in my decision to replace that car with the same make and model. The 2016 model is a real joy to drive. It is so quiet that I sometimes think I must have turned off the engine. My only suggestion for improvement is that the dealership should offer an hour course in setting and operating the multitude of electronics in the car. Seriously! My Honda dealer will help me with this problem, but there should be an actual class. In summary, the 2016 Honda Accord Sedan is a wonderful car!

"The Best Bang for You Buck"

I have owned many many cars over my last 50 years & the 2016 Honda Accord Sport Sedan has to be right up there with the Higher Priced Vehicles on the Market today. It just is the Best Bang for Your Dollar....... A True 5 Star Automobile......

Can't go wrong with edmunds and Livermore Honda!

Edmunds provided a price that most dealerships in the Bay Area wouldn't match EXCEPT Honda of Livermore! Thank you edmunds and Livermore Honda for making it an easy process! Now I get to enjoy my car for an unbeatable price! Thanks again!

The longer I drive it the happier I am with it.

Best car I've ever owned. Comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Now, after driving it since November, I am happy I bought it. Still fun to drive, still a smooth riding car. Everybody who is transported in this car love its comfort. Still couldn't be happier with this car. Highly recommend.

2016 Accord Touring Tire Feathering

After 10k miles, start to hear scratching noise at highway speed. Took it in for service today and was told that the noise was caused by tire feathering. Did alignment and will see how bad it will go. Not sure how long the initial equipment tire will last, but kind of early to quit on me. Overall the car is great. But something could be wrong even it is a Honda. Update on 09/07/2017: For Touring you need to do alignment every year for New England road, otherwise a very nice car.

2016 Accouring Touring

Great car for the price, it has everything you could possibly want, technology is superior

Dave's New Honda

I have been leasing Honda cars for over 15 years. By far this the BEST Honda Accord. I cannot think of anything negative to say. Once you test drive it, you will drive it home for sure. Thanks Honda for a great car.
