From a BMW to a 2018 Accord Touring Sedan
I traded in my 2016 BMW 330i for a 2018 Accord Touring Sedan and I could not be happier. I am not a fan of Honda's but after reading several review and watching YouTube videos I decided to take a test drive. First and foremost the look is amazing. Looks very similar to an Audi A7. The fastback style it easy on the eyes with the 19-inch wheels and has perfect lines and detail. The interior competes with many luxury cars as the leather and seat comfort is fantastic for long drives. The aesthetics on the console and steering wheel compliment the vehicles upscale interior. The Navigation is average as the Accord utilizes Garmin for services and lacks many custom options you would find on other brands. Boot up time on the Navigation head unit is also a bit slow. The ride on the other hand is amazing. Nice and smooth even with the larger wheels and performance tires. The car comes with Sport and Eco mode options and Eco mode is a serious disaster. It dumbs the car down to something my Grandma would drive. The Sport mode thought is fantastic. You can really see the performance of the 1.5 turbo engine. This is a mode I will never change as it opens up the cars performance. A couple of features I miss are the electronic adjust steering wheel and side mirrors. You need to use your hands to make the adjustments and can be a bit of a pain. The Honda Sensing features are great bit also a but overreactive. I have had by Lane Watch warning go off when a car pulled up to me at a stop light. a bit annoying. Overall. I am glad I purchased this car and would recommend to anyone that is looking for a solid sedan.

Rattle Trap
My 2018 Honda Accord EX-L has rattles from the dash and from the rear. Two dealer visits no solution. I rarely drive with any music playing so these noises are extremely aggravating. I regret purchasing this car. I really can't say I enjoy the time I spend in this car. ++ Two years later... no resolution to the noises. +++ Three 1/2 years later. Still have the car, but don't drive it. Partner drives it and always plays loud music so isn't bothered by the noises.

Car Has So many Known issues. and leading to more
As I look over other reviews I am seeing a pattern. This is my first Honda product and I have to say I am not impressed. I thought for the price the technology packed in my Accord 1.5 Touring CVT was a value. I was mistaken. I have owned it for 5 months and it has been in the shop 5 times for a variety of issues starting with rattles to more serious issues. The latest is a message stating “braking system problem”. I have noticed other owners having the rattling issues and I have gotten the same response from Honda as they got. Take it back in and get it fixed. I also have had problems with the infotainment system not initializing for up to 5 minutes. I have requested a lemon law case be opened to replace the car because the dealership has put 300 miles on the car test driving it and it still isn’t fixed. Now that I see the same issues in other cars I cannot recommend the 2018 Honda Accord until these issues are worked out. I would give it a year for Honda to take action before purchasing one.

Honda missed the mark on testing this Accord!
Was really excited about this car when I got it. I shopped around for a couple weeks, and drove several competitors including the Camry, Malibu, Maxima, Legacy, Optima, and Sonata. Decided to go with the Accord because I had a 2014 and loved it. It was the most well built car I've owned. No rattles, ran great, no issues. The 2018 Accord rides great, looks great, and has all the technology I want. The unfortunate part, is the fit/finish is poor on the inside. There is a HORRIBLE rattle in the heads up display area and also on the back deck under the back windshield. The dealer is aware of these issues as is Honda Of America, but I've taken my car in 4 times now to try and get this issue resolved. Hopefully they get it fixed, but there are a lot of touring owners having the exact same issue. Which begs to question, why didn't this come up with Honda when testing the car? What will go wrong next? I hate to say it, but I'm likely going to trade this one in for something else. I hope they get these issues resolved, but it's been a big inconvenience and kept me from enjoying an otherwise good car.

Huge
Went from a 2016 Accord Sport to the 2018 Accord Sport and what a difference. The 2018 is a huge upgrade in both quality and looks. The interior is top notch and well crafted. The exterior, ride and performance is also a big upgrade. Could not be happier.
