I may have gotten a dud

2018 Honda Accord Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I purchased the 1.5 touring accord at the end of November. When I test drove it the weather was cool so I didn’t really head any rattling noise coming from the HUD area. But now that I have driven it for a month with hot/cold weather daily the rattling noise is really annoying. I took it in to the dealer about 4 times each time they said they heard the noise but couldn’t locate it even after I told them where I think it’s coming from. They finally was able to reduce the rattling noise by putting in some noise insulation foam. I called Honda customer service to complain and they said the same thing. That I should just keep taking it in for repair. For this much money I’m spending I shouldn’t need to especially when I barely hit 2k miles.

The tablet style touch screen has been hit and miss. It shuts down unexpectedly, the rear camera guidance doesn't always work, you get strange error messages, it slams the brakes when there's nothing in front of you, the adaptive cruise control doesn't work, and Apple CarPlay doesn't recognize your stored contacts. I took it in for service and was told that Honda was aware of these problems and said it was a software issue that they still haven't found a solution for. The service manager said that they will probably extend the warranty since they can't find a solution. That and other minor problems, like weather stripping coming loose from the doors. I am really disappointed with my purchase. DON'T buy this car. Just don't!

Noise vibration is going to cause mistakes

This car is great, expect for the noise vibration around 1800 RPMs. Don't buy this car unless you can tolerate the noise vibrations day in and day out. You will also need to tolerate multiple trips to the dealer to fix.

Other than the exceedingly annoying squeaking noise coming from the HUD area it is a great car. Honda says they are aware of the problem but can't say when they will have a fix. While this problem probably does not affect all Accords, I would not buy till they have a fix. Update: The National Honda people while polite were not concerned about the problem. My local dealership was useless, as well, in trying to solve the problem. Eight months later I finally found a dealership in Charlotte, NC who would help. It has been six months since the repair and it seems to be working.

AWESOME! 2.0T Touring

I have to chime in about my 18 Accord, as I have the 2.0T Touring trim. Everything about this car I absolutely love, from its performance all the way to its design, ride, and interior electronics! Bought mine in January and now it has 2267 miles as of today, 70% oil life according to Hondalink. Really don't think you can go wrong with any trim levels, the amount of standard tech that is included in this car just elevates it to another class. The interfaces are all designed well and intuitive in my use. Coming from a compact class with a 6 speed manual, I can't say enough good things about the 2.0T and the 10 speed transmission. Driven manuals all my life, and this is the first time I've actually enjoyed driving an auto so much. I really recommend this engine and its transmission pairing, I did not even consider the 1.5T and the CVT. Power delivery is amazing, and the car is deceptively fast. The programming is excellent, in normal mode, it'll even smoothly let you do engine braking (6th to 4th, and lower depending on speed, double tapped on paddles) to slow the car down with satisfactory rev matched down shifts. The engine will actually hold the gear even in normal mode for a while, until you start cruising, as the manual mode will revert back to full automatic. That was the main selling point for me, as I think Honda made a winner with the transmission/engine and I wanted a seamless experience with the adaptive cruise control, which is amazing. I forgo the option of the 2.0T paired with a true 6 speed manual transmission in the Sport model, as the Sport model didn't have all the other features I wanted, plus the adaptive cruise would not have been as seamless. With the 10 speed automatic, the sport mode makes the car take on a completely different character with a true manual mode and the programming is even better. The adaptive suspension is awesome as well with the different modes. I have had no problems with the car, mine is still very solid. Refinement in the Accord for the Touring trim is excellent, as I enjoy the quietness, and all the materials that you come into contact with. Honda did an excellent job of mimicking wood inlays, as it is completely artificial, but it classy and does not give off the 'plastic wood' aesthetic found in other manufacturers, which I completely have a distaste for. The HUD display, full LED headlights, and the adaptive suspension, are my favorite features. Only thing that was a minor annoyance was this ticking sound coming from inside the passenger B-pillar, so I found the source and fixed that. Other than that, my hood, dash, overall fit & finish, are excellent, with no other squeaks or rattles. The electronics have been very reliable for me with no gremlins on a day to day use. I may have had the headunit glitch up and restart itself only like two times since owning the car. The Touring trim reminds me of driving a much more expensive car with its adaptive suspension without the luxury badge which is exactly what I wanted, and I've even debadged mine for that super clean look in the rear and for ease in weekly detailing. Handling for this car is excellent as well given how large this car is. To me, it drives like a smaller car. However the turning radius and sound system could be better, but given all the other attributes of the car, I really can't complain! I initially hated the rear end of the car too, but it's actually growing on me with its design. At night by the way it's lit, it's reminiscent of a 3/5 series from the rear. But it doesn't matter as most of the time I'll be on the inside enjoying all the interior aesthetics and performance of the car. I love the aggressive front and especially the side profile which screams Audi. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the trim levels, but the Touring trim really puts the Accord above it's class into the luxury territory without the badge.
