Great Car but a few bugs
Ricky, Las Vegas, NV, 12/26/2015
2016 Honda Accord EX-L 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
First, let me say that I really love my new Honda Accord Coupe for the most part.
But...........
Here is what you need to know.
The Good:
The front seat is nice and very comfortable.
Love the leather and the inside looks nice - also the outside.
The build seems fairly solid.
The car is quiet driving.
The gas mileage on the 4cyl is unbelievable.
I got almost 50 mpg on the highway...no … kidding, it blew me away.
The audio sound I thought was good.
The Bad:
The audio system controls are annoying and hard to get around.
The car drives like a sports car (think 350z) - you will feel every bump.
(If you're looking for a smooth ride, it's average at best...the ride is bumpy, but fun.)
>>updated -- I think a lot has to do with tires. DON'T GET THE BRIDGESTONES -- very rough ride.
Make them put on the Michelins. Or you'll be sorry.
The USB ports were put in bad places.
That's about all I can say on the bad side.
Would I buy it again, I'm not sure - they need to fix a few things.
I was hoping for a smoother ride. (tires)
You'll just have to test drive it to understand what I mean.
Make sure you take it on some rough roads.
Disappointing Fuel Economy

2016 Honda Accord EX-L 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
It's a great looking car, especially at night with the LED taillights. I want to like it, and I do for the most part. I just haven't bonded with it like I did my last two Hondas. There isn't anything objectively wrong with it, I just don't feel a connection to it. It's just a car to me, one that I won't be sad to get rid of. The fuel economy is not what I had hoped for. I'm averaging … just 24 MPG with mixed driving. Hopefully it will get better when I put more miles on it. The seats are not quite as comfortable as on the 2016 Civic, but they're not bad. Having Apple CarPlay is a fantastic feature that I wouldn't want to go without, but it does take quite a while to start up when compared to other vehicles I've tried it on. The back seats are comfortable enough for short trips, and the trunk is huge. A couple of things I don't like: There is a fair bit of wind noise that sounds like it's coming from the door seal right next to my ear. There is no volume knob. Not the biggest thing in the world because it does have volume controls on the steering wheel. Still, I'd rather have one. I'm also not a big fan of the glossy black trim on the inside. It scratches easily and always looks smudged.
I knew I would love it!

2016 Honda Accord EX-L 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
I knew I would love my '16 Honda Accord Coupe. I'd done all my research in advance, so I sent out word I was looking. Made the process an easy one. This is what I want, show me that you have it. Not usually a silver car person but the lunar silver metallic looks great on this car. Love it!
Here we are in March, 2017. Lucky me, great purchase. My '16 Honda Accord Coupe looks good, drives … good, feels good, etc. Highly recommend.
Nasty tires at 25000 miles.
Mr Jeff, Lansing, MI, 07/06/2017
2016 Honda Accord EX-L 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
Purchased new March 2016, at 25000 miles tires are way out of line for road noise, dealer claims it may need alignment, when I get the paper from Alignment specialist that it is not out of alignment that would cause the tires to act this way I will be back to dealer.
