2016 Honda Accord EX 2dr Coupe w/Honda Sensing (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

I was excited to get an EX sensing coupe for the price of an LX coupe. The wheels are much nicer on the EX. Coming from an '07 Accord coupe v6 and the improved fuel economy is amazing. I do miss the power of the v6, but the power is acceptable and allows for easy merging. I'm also getting better combined mileage in traffic than I ever did with straight highway driving and no traffic with the old v6. The plethora of music listening options are great and Android Auto works very well on my Galaxy S7. I do however, wish that I could use Pandora while Android Auto was active, and that the sound system was a little better. I was expecting a bit more from the upgraded system with subwoofer. Sound quality isn't the greatest, and neither is the bass, even with the sub. The ride strikes a very nice balance between compliance and sportiness. It feels planted, but not harsh. Update September 2016: The highlights: Positive: Pandora is now usable from Android Auto. Powerful for a 4 cylinder. Great mileage. Negative: I was unhappy with the OEM tires, so they were replaced with tires that have better traction overall, especially in inclement weather. The car will often forget my phone and I need to go through and pair it again. Android Auto doesn't always engage the first time when plugging the phone in. This is really annoying on road trips when stopping to get gas/for rest breaks as every 3rd to 4th time the system will refuse to recognize my phone. It then treats it as a new bluetooth connection the next time I start the car. Driver's side floor mat showed significant wear by 15,000 miles.

I did a LOT of research and took a LOT of test drives. This is a wonderful car. It has a fantastic drive, and is very comfortable! I've never bought a sedan, and I have no regrets with this car. It is truly my dream car.

This my 6th Honda. One Civic and all Accords after that. lease a new one every 3 years. have always had a good experience. This last one was a let down. 2016 Accord Sport. Bad paint, bad brakes, horrible CVT transmission, sub par sound system. Overall quality of build has gone down. Have to get roof and trunk deck repainted as the paint couldn't even hold up to bird crap, brakes need replacing at 28K, last Honda Accord, same miles, same ride to work, same driver and no issues with brakes. Will not lease another one again and can't wait for this lease to end.

Great newer safety features--backup camera, right side camera, blind spot mirror piece on left side. Reminds me of my old 1991 Prelude but with lots more comfort. Almost as good gas mileage as my 2011 Civic, may be even closer after it's fully broken in. Seven months and 5000 miles later--even better gas mileage than my Civic. After 3.5 years, the gas mileage is holding up, as is the car itself--it's proven quite durable and reliable. After 4.5 years, I'm still happy with the mileage and reliability. Wish Honda hadn't announced they're not going to make any more Accord coupes. Five years in, and I'm still impressed and satisfied with the car's performance and reliability. Gas mileage continues to be good, and the car still looks like new. After 5.5 years, the gas mileage is holding up, and no repairs required beyond regular maintenance and replacing the battery. I'm going to keep this vehicle until it's time for a hybrid or EV. Six years in, and all of my prior comments still apply. Very happy with this vehicle. Hope it lasts until it's safe to buy an EV in Minnesota (winter...batteries...) 6.5 years, and the Accord Coupe is still reliable, with no problems that had to be fixed. I'm keeping the regular maintenance done, but no other expenses. 7.5 years - now, some maintenance required--brake pads and struts. Otherwise, still reliable, gets good mileage and is still good-looking. 8 years in, and my Accord Coupe is still as reliable as ever, and getting very good mileage. No plans to trade it in just yet.

Newly purchased Touring model, Year 1. Performance and Handling is what I would expect from a Honda. Nicely hugs the curves and rides smoothly over bumps. Multiple displays I found nice and I don't think I would like it without it. I set the upper console to display the date/time and any alerts and left the bottom console for the multimedia / audio use. Yes, you can do that, along with setting the background of that screen. The quality of sound is nice but don't expect a powerful sub-woofer. Navigation was nice, almost good enough. The touring model (Coupe)feels like the old Camero's, nice space in the front seats, back seats are good for kids, adults may hit their head if they are tall. Bugs in the console: many times the console is slow to boot and may not start on the screen you were previously using. Parking sensor display on the monitor is intermittent, 1 out of 10 times it does not show up. Collision avoidance system seems to be a little sensitive. Sometimes flashes break while nobody is around, yet it auto breaked when someone cut me off, nice. This car is loaded! The only things I can think of right now that I would ask Honda to change is: 1. The main console uses android 4 OS, it is 1 year old and already 3+ years out of date. This should be update-able. 2. There is an option to add apps, but it is blocked. Why is it there if you are going to block it? Please update and enable it. 3. Warranty, Come on Honda, you know you are better than the default warranty. Get with the times and update it to something like 5/50000 or something a little better than 3/36000. 4. Dual power seats, currently only the drivers seat is power. 5. Power tilt for steering wheel. (Like the Lexus has) There is always room for improvement but Over all, I love this car! Update: Parking Sensors will randomly shut off. This could be an issue if you actively use them like I do.
