I made the error in purchasing the 2017 Accord SE Sport without really putting my foot in it and letting the car run. I found out all too quickly that the car was all show and no go. the styling is great the car is beautiful on the outside. interior is par for the course I upgraded to leather I believe a wise choice for the money, the instrument display is easily readable and the fuel economy halo around the speedo is a nice touch. the main display screen is totally useless unless you are in reverse other wise it will show a massive clock or a tally of MPG totals. This could have been a cool feature if they would have spent a little more time on the software side of the car. auto system sounds good with clean high and bass notes blue tooth pairing often fails and requires rebooting the device or the car. the touch to talk button on the steering wheel is worthless as once again the software that drives it is junk. Driving comfort is marginal at best the car is prone to wind noise and if you are driving on anything that has the least amount of bumpiness to the surface you will feel it in your kidneys. All these short comings could be over looked except for the first statement in this review all show NO-GO! This car is equipped with the most powerful I-4 available in the accord but still makes less than 200 horse power. the engine isn't the issue however because when coupled with the manual gear box as I found out later the car can come alive. The problem with the car is the CVT transmission this thing is junk and the worst part is I paid an extra two grand to get it over the 6 speed manual. The CVT transmission makes this car feel like it is in a constant state of slippage don't pull out in traffic if to have a car coming because you will most likely not make it. want to pass someone good luck your stuck behind that person doing 10 under on a two lane road because the car accelerates so slowly. Sure you will eventually get to speed but it will take you awhile. speaking of taking awhile 0-60 times on this car have been exaggerated to say the least plan on spending just over 10 seconds to get from 0-60MPH in drive mode, you will spend 9.89 seconds going 0-60 in sport mode and the best but still poor using the paddle shifters you will eek out the best time of 8.96 seconds 0-60. a far cry from the advertised 0-60 time of 7.5 seconds. But hey we didn't buy the accord to race we bought it for fuel economy right? While it would be nice to be able to pass grandma on a two lane without risking sudden death, if time is on your side than by all means get an accord at an average 32MPG driving with the eco button on. This would be my only reason to keep the accord but don't buy the sport version without the manual as you will just feel like crap getting passed by everything in sight and have no ability to do anything about it .

Driving aides can be a bit intrusive and sensitive. Car came to a complete stop on several occasion for approaching objects on the road that are 1" high (i.e. entrance access barriers, metal road construction covers). Both screens have some duplicate information which sometimes makes the other obsolete. Adaptive Cruise Control will sometimes apply the brakes pretty aggressive as you approach a car versus gradually decrease the speed. Interior is very comfortable, good interior storage, quiet ride, however, the rear speaker deck has a tendency to rattle as you increase the bass. Gas mileage is pretty standard for the class. Price is really good. The depreciation is horrible! A little over a 30% percent decrease.

Noises from front end

2017 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 6M)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
Only reason I bought it was for a manual tranny. After about a year developed a clicking noise from front end. Dealer tried to fix six times but still hear it at parking lot speeds. Also full of rattles most of which I eliminated myself Extremely fast and economical. Have averaged up to 40 mpg on my 50 mile commute.
GPS is useless

2017 Accord. Not a bad car, but the GPS is money thrown away. Spend most of it's time searching for satellites, and when it loses them, your are totally out of luck. Horrible UI.

Coming through Mississippi an 18 wheeler cut in and hit the left rear panel. This turned the front toward the truck. The truck number hooks left front door at the f fender and the truck pushed us at 60 mph at a 45 degree angle. Because Honda took the time to do it right. My wife and I are still alive and well.

I've now owned this car for about a year and a half. My overall impressions of the car is very good, especially at this price point. Understandably, tech and features and lacking. However, my rear view camera doesn't have properly calibrated guidelines. I took it to the dealer, only to hear that they can't do anything about it. Disappointing. Gas mileage is also way below advertised averages. I get about 23-24mpg with eco mode on, doing a good mix of freeway and city. To get the advertised mpg, you probably need to apply less than 5% of the throttle at all times, and no one younger than 70 does that (unless you drive a CR-V or a 2009 Lexus RX). But for the price and the looks, this is a solid buy. For my first new car, I'm quite satisfied, but I'll likely be dropping it for something else in 2-3 year's time.

A Great Choice!

Not a lot of acceleration, but great ride, and a comfortable interior. The passenger side leg room is a little shy. Interior materials are very nice and should hold up very well. Several areas of shiny finishes will need regular cleaning to keep smudges down. Combination cloth an faux leather seats with faux leather steering wheel, gear shift and center console cover. Very little storage space in the interior. The center console does not hold my wife's wallet. No satellite entertainment an no USB ports that I've found. CVT can feel boring for acceleration at the low end, especially in economy mode. May need to keep in sport mode for better feel, but less gas mileage. Rear camera give a nice panorama, approx 160 degrees. A very nice car for the price. And expect it to be very reliable.

This Accord has a smoother ride since the tires are 16" instead of 15" that were on my 2006 Accord. It sold me on it during the test drive. The 2017 Accord is a new, improved version of the 2006 model. The interior has been updated and the styling is much more attractive. It came in a pearl white which I love. Over all, it is very nice. I love it! A year later, and I still love it. It has great gas mileage between 29 and 31 mpg.

We leased this car to replace our Camry with 196000 miles on it. We've had accords before but this one great. Very high quality interior. Solid well built. The CVT transmission took some getting used to but now it's great. Smooth and quiet. It just goes. The folks at Keeler Honda were superb. We worked with Adam Dorn and the experience couldn't have been better.

Fun to drive. Great car for the money. Not a lot of bells and whistles to go wrong.
