A Great Car

For the price you get the most bang for your buck with a Honda Accord Sedan.....the EX model is more than well appointed and this car is just the right size. Gas mileage is excellent. My Honda now has 26,000 miles and I gotta say they only things that needed attention are the usual (oil changes, tire rotations and wiper blades). I am just sorry that it took me so long to purchase a Honda. If I live to be a hundred I will purchase and recommend Hondas!

I want to love the car but I can't

2016 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Purchasing a brand new vehicle for the first time in my life is a very exciting event. I had very high expectation from upgrading from used up 2004 Accord to brand new 2016 EX-L model. I love the design and acceleration, CarPlay is cool.... This could be a perfect car, BUT I can not understand how Honda can ignore two simple issues, that just make me thinking that this is my last Honda. The first problem is wind noise. It is simply horrible, not better than any other car from 90-s. No improvements at all on trying to make it a little quitter, to match up with competitors. This is really annoying and doesn't make any ride enjoyable. The second problem appears when I try to eliminate the wind noise by playing loud music. Guess what, load music causes vibration of the whole rear deck with the subwoofer. The stop light is so close to the glass, that light vibration of the deck causes the plastic to vibrate and periodically with high frequency hit the rear glass. This creates annoying rattling noise. So I make the volume lower, but then I here annoying wind noise... Most importantly, the dealer agreed to repair both of these issues, that cost me nothing but loosing hours of my personal work time. Both repairs are not successful and it was just a waste of time trying to fix manufacturer's pour design. Btw, the dealer doesn't accept that this is a result of pour design.... They offered the repairs covered by warranty, but they all were not effective with no improvements. Such confusing situation. Even if I am willing to pay to fix it, I can't fix it and no one can! I had to do what I originally planned to do, buy a more luxury but slightly used vehicle, in which, at least I would enjoy the ride while paying more for the repairs....

The last of the true legacy Accord line up

2016 Honda Accord Sport 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)

I waited 2 long years to write this review; or should I said, 2 years from the moment I purchased the car. Being a avid car enthusiast, I got a hint through online forums and discussions that Honda will be moving to turbo engines in 2017 and going forward so I knew I had to act quick. I will elaborate...I have been driving Honda/Acura cars for the last 11 years, since I was 21. I won't waste time going into their reliability and quality, they have established that over the last 30 years. At the time of buying the 2016 Accord Sport 6MT, I was driving an Acura CL Type S 6MT and my secondary car was/is 1995 Accord EX 5MT. The CL was a great sporty car but it was aging (2003) and I wanted long term solution to my car situation as the 1995 Accord was pushing 250K at the time (currently is at 280K and rocking solid). I didn't want to wait for new generation Accords because I didn't want to go to turbo engines that are uncharted territory for Honda. I also didn't want another coupe like the CL and manual was a must so the natural choice came down to the Sport trim with the 6MT. I did several months of research and found that the 2.4 DI I-4 matted to a dual-mass flywheel clutch 6MT was a win-win as the engine has a timing chain instead of a timing belt and the dual mass flywheel clutch when driven hard but not abused under experienced driver (15 years of driving manual, since I was 16); that combo would provide close to 200K miles of no chain or clutch replacement needed, only minor tuning and maintenance on them. Both the 2.4 DI and the 6MT dual mass clutch are tried and true, no nonsense about them. On top of that, I wanted to get a 2016 model due to some great aesthetic upgrades, both inside and especially out. The inside for example, 2016 has red and black cockpit instead of white in 2013-2015, all black trim instead of grayish dash, phenomenal leather/steel shifter, aluminum pedals, etc. Outside there are so many improvements over 2013-2015 that I can't even count, especially those LED fog lights and 19 inch wheels taken from the Touring trim. To wrap this up, for the 2 years I've owned the car, I've only changed the oil 3 times (at 5K intervals, currently at 18K). That is literally it. The car is fun to drive, rock solid reliability, it's beautiful, it's attractive, it's got plenty of power, the 6MT is as good as a manual can be, AC is great, heat is excellent - basically, it's a complete car. What I also love about it that it's the last of the dying breed of simple interiors. No gimmicks, no space shuttle curvature of the dash, no goofy buttons, no LED RPM gauge; just classic interior with classic set up. It's truly a dying breed and cars like this aren't made anymore. Proof of that is the 2018 Accord, it couldn't be more gimmicky inside, starting with the aforementioned LED RPM gauge (cringe worthy). I should also mention that I talked the dealer down (spent a whole Saturday and half of a Monday there) to the invoice price; they frowned up having a manual car on the lot because they're a hard sell in Midwest Wisconsin, especially during winter months and it's a imported sedan. The fact I got it at such a great price makes it all so much complete. I will own this car for decades and plan on seeing it reach the same miles as my 1995 Accord (280K+).

Down goes Honda

2016 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

I have owned 4 Hondas and my last 2 brand new have been the absolute worst. This car is included. I bought it and was almost begged into buying the additional warranty, but thought it was just the finance person working extra hard. Apparently, he nee something that I didn't. I'm not impressed by a car doing what it is supposed to do. It's when it doesn't work that's the issue. The dual screens have blacked out-meaning no back up camera. The screens have locked up as well as the radio so I was stuck listening to the same thing. My locks malfunction so the only way to get into the car is unlock it manually. It has completely powered down/battery drained afer 30 min of radio listening on lunch -I didn't run the car full strength and had to call roadside assistance as my car -steering wheel and brake-locked completely. I currently think that it is being held together by a string and bubble gum. Going to get rid of it. This will be the last honda that I will buy. My last brand new crosstour had to have an entire front axle replaced after 3 years. I absolutely hate this car

Perky new Honda Accord V6 Touring

2016 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

I love my new Honda Accord V6 Touring. It is quite large in the interior & exterior. So far the gas mileage has been ok; Honda stated it will take about 5,000 miles before I will see an improvement in the MPG. I love that it takes regular gasoline. I miss that there is not a good driver arm rest, but that is a small thing. All of the cameras are very helpful. I did not think I would like the Sensing package but they have been very helpful in backing-up and parallel parking. The steering ratio is excellent. The Honda Accord V6 Touring is a classy sedan, it is not like a “regular Accord”, therefore I hope that Honda creates a new upscale car-name to match the wonderful reality of this car.
