The car has been in use for 7 months at this point and nothing to report on the negative side of things. We still like the car, the ride and everything overall.

Mileage around town about 23mpg, but on the road over 40. Drives like a dream. Enjoy the two screens. Bluetooth and car play work well. Very, very happy! Probably should have purchased with safety package, sorry I didn’t.. a bit disappointed that around town mileage isn’t better. Still a pleasure to drive. Update: about 15000 miles. Just drove 3000 miles thru the west, 35.7 mpg overall. Comfortable, large trunk. Was a pleasure on the trip. Again wish I had the safety package... great car overall! Next car will be electric though, probably replacing wife’s Prius Update at 22000 miles: another year, another 2500 mile trip. Pleasure to drive, very happy. Same mileage.. recently drove a Tesla with all its safety electronics. Wow, what a car! As I get older, those features seem more important.

I bought the 2016 after selling my 2004 EX-L, a car I drove since it was brand new and loved dearly. The changes in the model over 12 years are enough to give you whiplash, but most are for the good. The technology alone is mind-blowing: back-up camera and right-side blind spot camera, display screen, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, memory driver's seat, push-button start, and "smart key". I love not having to dig through my purse for a key in order to get into the car or open the trunk. The ride is so quiet that you almost wonder if you're actually driving. Driver visibility is good; the windshield pillar on the passenger side isn't as much of a blind spot as it was on my '04. Seats are super comfy and the sound system is amazing. And the styling is anything but boring. I really love the way this car looks. A few downsides: the touchscreen is kind of wonky. It really stinks not having a volume knob (though I do appreciate the mute button that pops up when you adjust the volume). CarPlay needs some work. It's easiest if you tell Siri what to do, but Siri doesn't always get the message right. And it's difficult to navigate the Artist list on the music app. You have to select the first letter just right; if you don't, it won't let you scroll up or down to another letter. The Apple Maps navigation is decent, but doesn't really substitute for a good GPS unit. You can't type anything directly into it; you either have to scroll down to an address you've searched previously, or you have to pray that Siri understands the address. Hoping Apple improves this with future updates. My only other complaint is that the center console is really small, about half the size of the one in my 2004. The top of the '04 console could also slide forward to provide an armrest for someone (like me) who has to pull the seat forward. This one doesn't move. All in all, I love this car; the irritations are minor to say the least. Honda continues to provide great value. I can't believe I got such a fine car for under $30K. ***UPDATE I've now been driving this car for about 6 months, and the pluses and minuses haven't changed a lot. Apple CarPlay did see some improvements with the iOS 10 update, including the ability to delete apps, the addition of mapping where your car is parked, and improved scrolling in the music app. I still love the car and have no regrets. ***ONE-YEAR UPDATE Not much has changed in my opinion of this car over the last 6 months. Only a little disappointed that the driver's seat leather seems to be permanently grungy. Otherwise, no issues. Great gas mileage as always, and CarPlay technology keeps improving. ***TWO-YEAR UPDATE No big changes. Have had zero mechanical issues with the car (though my overall mileage is pretty low as I don't have a commute). It still drives like a dream, and is responsive and quiet. CarPlay is exponentially better than it used to be; the Apple Maps improvements in iOS 11 made a tremendous difference. I also upgraded to the iPhone 8, which CarPlay recognizes much faster than it did my 6. Still no regrets in buying this car. UPDATE 2019: Absolutely no issues with this car. No major repairs required, all tech still works like it was brand new. Apple has also made huge improvements to CarPlay over the last few years and it’s much more user friendly. Zero regrets buying this car. UPDATE 2020: Still no major issues with the car. Occasionally the audio system screen goes black and/or is slow to respond. Restarting the car fixes it. This is an issue I will raise with the dealer when I go in for my next scheduled maintenance. UPDATE 2023: Still having occasional minor issues with the touchscreen. Also had to have the satellite radio antenna replaced last year, which cost about $500. Otherwise, the car is still a joy to drive and CarPlay keeps getting better. UPDATE 2024/25: CarPlay / touch screen issues have vastly improved over the past year. I have a new iPhone now and I think between that and the latest iOS updates, the problems have been eliminated. My only issue now is that some of the small LED bulbs that are part of the fog lights / daytime running lights have burned out, and I've been told the only fix is to replace the entire array to the tune of about $700.

Let me start by addressing the minor complaints I've read that could make you second guess what is otherwise the best car I've ever had the pleasure to own and drive. First everyone needs to stop whining about the loss of the volume knob. The touch screen control only takes a few days to get used to and is now second nature. Next are so called noise complaints while I will admit heavy rains do produce a tapping near the B pillar it's easily ignored and minor. I've had a Toyota Camry, Jeep Cherokee, VW Jetta, and Jeep Wrangler whose roofs sounded like they were corrugated tin. Road and wind noise? They are a none issue I quote Car and Driver magazine "At 70 mph we recorded a decibel rating of 66, the same as a Mercedes S class we tested." Now onto the review if you are looking to enjoy the act of driving not just getting from A to B this is the car for you. If your looking to do it in comfort on a seat that feels like the leather chair in your living room in the perfect position relative to the controls and excellent view all around buy/lease this car. Matched to a buttoned down suspension, perfectly weighted steering wheel that at least gives some feed back compared to the numb detached steering in my last few sedans get the accord (I'm looking at you Kia Optima and Chevy Malibu.) Finishing up with the smoothest quick shifting automatic I've ever driven that shames these crap CVTs get to the dealership. Lastly it's a rocket putting your foot in it brings a linear rush of power that will leave most cars in your rearview. VTEC is awesome in the upper RPM range adding extra noticeable pull. Take a test drive you won't regret it. If mpg is your thing driving steady not slow had netted me an average of 28 city 31 to 34 highway not bad for this well engineered n/a V6.

My wife and I leased this car and are extremely happy. We recently drove to Seattle and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Before leasing the vehicle I test drove the Mercedes, Acura, Lexus, Mustang and BMW. My wife said the ease of all the controls make it a great car and a real looker. She said it reminded her of the BMW 320 she use to own. Additionally, she is happy with the V-6 acceleration since she has to merge onto a state highway from a cross street.
