I moved out of my loaded 2008 BMW 535 into a 2016 Accord EX-L V6 and don't feel like I am missing out. While I could easily buy any luxury vehicle the new Accord sold me on its near luxury at half the price. I have to be careful as I risk feeling smugly superior, something I never did in the beemer. So compared to the 535 the Accord.. Has 22 less horsepower, naturally aspirated...don't miss it and don't miss the 535 turbos. Tracks half as well but that makes is 100% more comfortable. Has 8-way (?) adjustable seats vs 20-way in the 535 so you don't get hugged on tight cornering which was a little disconcerting the first couple of times but the Accord seats are more comfortable. Has more and better cup holders. Darn close leather, Honda finally got it right. The break pedal doesn't sit level with the gas, takes some getting used (hooked a shoe sole in the process) to but is normal for a family hauler. Has awesome technology with CarPlay and Auto but not fair to compare. Really does get 34 mpg on the freeway...when does stated mileage actually happen? Great headlights, night quite as surreal as the 535 but pretty awesome. I could go on but net, net the first 1000 miles hav kept me smiling.

We were looking for most reliable, comfortable, low maintenance cost car that would drive tall guy from A to B. It should be powerful and with good MPG… We have tested Optima, Sonata, Mazda 6, Outback, Escape & Avalon. I fell in love with Accord 2016...Instantly, so I am biased now :). From the moment I sit in a car it was easy to see myself driving it. About Accord: 1) I do like 2016 design for its aggressive front stylish rear and sporty sides. Beautifully designed front grill and wheels. 2) I do like Android connectivity. Based on reviews I was looking for EX-L with no navigation and sensing. I love my google map on Galaxy and Honda gives you an amazing technology to “mirror” your screen for several apps like Pandora, Google map, Amazon music, Phone/text etc simply connect it by USB cord (1.5 amp). I love google map (free updates) so there is no need to pay extra for Honda navigation & its expensive updates. Also Bluetooth works just fine when my galaxy connected via cord… not sure about IPhone. BTW, it does connect Skype conversation which is amazing. 3) Speech recognition is very friendly! Click on microphone and send message to any number while driving … it’s pretty accurate. 4) I do love power of V6 and automatic transmission. It’s beyond Optima &Sonata options with much better fuel efficiency. (Honda’s 278 HP and 21/34 mpg VS Korean 2.0 turbo with 20/ 31mpg). When you click economizer button accord makes it even more efficient. With V6 it does turn off 3 cylinders on a freeway and my avg mpg is about 40 or higher. 5) It’s Quiet. It’s a truly quiet vehicle. We test drove Optima & Sonata and the road noise was a killer. We could not hear each other… no exaggerations. May be a little. 6) Also Honda sound system is amazing! EX-L does have 7 speaker system (6+1) and the quality is outstanding much better then Infinity system in Kia. Pandora Jazz#$%^& just phenomenal. 7) We saw very good Mazda 6 reviews online but we didn’t like the car. 8) We think Honda Accord has made a big step forward in design while nice & attractive Optima became more & more boring and Camry… what have you done!? 9) Acceleration is amazing, turning radius is good. 2nd row is super roomy (5’11” person sits very comfy behind driver). 10) Good Michelin tires with pretty 17” discs. 11) Crosstour was an option as well but price was higher and it’s discontinued… First tank of gas gave us 26 mpg avg fuel efficiency. With second one we have a little above 28. We do like exterior white color a lot. It comes with ivory interior which is nice but requires a bit of cleaning.

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.

I just purchased on 5/26/16 a brand new 2016 Honda Accord 6 cyclinder EX-L. I traded in a 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited. Here are the other cars I looked at and test drove: 2016 Hyundai Sonata- Regular and Hybrid 2016 Toyota Camry XLE Hybrid When I drove the 2016 Sonata's both of the models above, they were ok. But one thing I noticed is how much more solid both Toyota Camry and Honda Accord felt in the doors and the workmanship. I went thru everything with a fine tooth comb. I am a Dealerships worst nightmare. If I had to rank workmanship and quality of build between the 3 I would rate like this: Honda 9.25 Toyota 8.7 Hyundai 5 I was very much torn between the 2016 Honda Accord 6 cyclinder EX-L and the 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE. I was very very impressed with Camry Hybrid. When I left the Toyota dealer for my 45 minute drive home, several times I wanted to turn back but I said think about it over night. I went back to Honda dealership close to my house in Pompano Beach, FL and they gave me a better deal on trade in and the new car over another dealer. (Tip #1 If you don't visit at least 2 dealers of the same brand you are doing yourself a severe disservice). You need to play the game. But after really looking at the Honda again, the thing that convinced me to buy it was the outer appearance and quality of build. The Accord felt a little bit more refined then the Camry. Again, very narrow and I'm splitting hairs. The doors seemed a little heavier, everything tight and tad bit higher quality feel. But again, Camry Hybrid was great. Essentially, the Camry Hybrid XLE I could have bought for about $27,800 and the Honda Accord EX-L I bought for $26,900 (MSRP $31,580). Other great things about the Accord: V6- great pickup Ride- very nice Reliability- unmatched Honda Sensing- this is the safety package I didnt get it because its not good. In 2 years, trust me it will be standard so why pay. My experience with my local Honda dealer was nothing short but a nightmare but the General Sales Manager repaired and rebuilt the deal. In Florida, DO NOT PAY the "Dealer Administrative Fee" or "Doc Fee" they will tell you over and over again its mandatory. Most everybody that works at any dealer including some managers don't know 100% AGAINST FLORIDA STATE LAW. Usually, only the top guy, General Sales Manager knows, salesmen do not know, clueless. (Check your states law via Google) Here is Florida State Laws and my letter that I brought to the dealer: Thank you for allowing me to work with your dealership in my quest to purchase a new vehicle. Since I am a resident of XXX, I felt the necessity to shop local initially. However, I did search at other Honda dealers to allow ample opportunity to make a wise decision. This letter focuses in on a Fee called “Dealer Administrative Fee” or "Doc Fee" As I’m sure your dealership is aware, under Florida State Law, specifically Fla Statute 501.976, (16) Actionable, unfair, or deceptive acts or practices: In addition, Motor Vehicles Sales Finance, Chapter 69V-50.001 Miscellaneous Charges, clearly define those permitted charges by Florida State Law. Essentially, the Dealer Administrative Fee of $799.00 violates Florida State Laws. As such, I want this process to continue to be a good experience. Essentially, I see we have three options: 1) Option 1- I pay the Dealer Administrative Fee, take possession of the vehicle, then file a complaint with the dealer within 30 days as required by law, then proceed with a lawsuit for the $799, plus other fees, costs, and damages 2) Option 2- I simply leave the dealership with no dealer and I inform the Attorney General of Deceptive Advertising and Practices 3) Option 3- (My preferred Option) We work things out to where this “profit” fee is waived UPDATE 6/9/16 Some negatives after 2 weeks of driving; 1) There is pretty noticeable wind noise on the highway 2) The touch screen is not smooth for radio 3) Engine does idle hard off/on when parked/stopped 4) The V6 is getting bad gas mileage especially city, under 20 mpg; highway 27/28 Positive: braking, steering, good pick up with V6, don't hear engine much good soundproofing there

the Honda v6 is an excellent value and great fun to drive. larger than the 335i, 6 inches wider and a foot longer but handling is excellent and has a more stable feel. I strongly recommend it
