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. Update; The Accord continued to give me problems I traded the Accord in for a Mercedes GLC300. It was a long process but Honda did realize the problems and did help me out of it.

I bought a 2018 Honda Accord Touring model only four days ago. I was planning on purchasing a Toyota Camry XSE; however, I could not find any moon roofs in the 4-cylinder model. Then, I decided to test drive the Accord with Touring trim. I bought my Accord only two days later! The Touring trim comes standard with a moon roof and leather, my two wants. The Accord blows away the Camry: the Accord is so much better. My other car is a 2014 Mazda6. At the time it was the best mid-size car on the market and won many awards. The Accord is now a much better car than the Mazda6, including the new ones on dealer lots. (My Mazda 6 has 52,000 trouble free miles on it.) The Accord drives and handles like a luxury car. Once you drive one you will want to buy it!

What can I say that has not been said? Its a fantastic car, best I have ever driven. Its almost perfect with only a couple of low points IMO, so I am only going to list those. First, I have the upscale model, so I expect great things, and while the audio says premium, it isn't. Mediocre at best unless I am missing something. I had just driven a GMC truck that had premium Bose and it blew this away. I really wanted good audio, but oh well. Second, there are a lot of buttons and they are not as intuitive as the previous mentioned GMC, but I am sure I will learn them and all will be good. I really wanted to love Android Auto, but the interface is so out of date it seems ridiculous in a 2018 model. Hopefully we'll get updates, and that's not Hondas fault. While we are on the subject, the screen is a little weird in that it looks like it is setting on the dash, not integrated into it, but it is a beautiful display, especially the map. I would have also thought the Touring model would have had tinted windows, but it didn't. Lastly the TPM is worrying me a little, partly because of the extremely low profile tires. It seems very sensitive and went off when the car only had a couple of hundred miles on it. Checked the air, seemed fine, checked the manual and it said you have to wait up to 60 miles for it to reset (I drove it 10 and nothing) or manually reset, which wasn't terribly hard, but an annoyance. Other cars I have had only takes a couple of miles. These are very nit picky things, I love everything else about the car and would certainly recommend it. I guess I should list what I like best after all, the interior is fantastic, you would think its a $100,000 Mercedes. Vented front and heated front and rear seats, soft leather, artisan trim and accents. The driver assist works great, would never get another car without these safety features. The engine is small, but never seems to be working that hard, and I don't notice the turbo kicking in and winding it up really tight. The trans seems perfectly matched to the motor as well. TWO YEAR FOLLOW UP. Still love the car, the TPS problem was just a one off, never reared its ugly head again. The buttons have become more familiar, but its my wifes daily driver, not mine, so thats probably the reason. There's been a couple of hiccups with the adaptive cruise, sometimes when its raining the system freaks out and shuts everything down-cruise, lane departure, etc. You can still drive, and it is fine once you restart the car, but it is a bit annoying. The backup camera stopped working for a couple of days, but there is a recall to fix the software for that. Also the infotainment center has crashed a dozen times or so, hopefully the upgrade fixes that as well. UPDATE Aug 2020. The Accord is still performing flawlessly, zero issues and seems like the infotainment center doesn't crash any more, not sure if it upgraded over wifi or what. So far, its been near perfect. Only grip I may have is the tires, even when they had plenty of tread left they didn't do well in rain. I'm getting around 33 mph all around. It's now 2022, still having great service out of the Accord and happy to report there have been no issues with the car.

Two months of mitigation errors and still not resolved. I have spent hours at dealers and on phone to corporate. In shop 8 times and still no ACC or cruise control. The best response I get is have patience with us. Honda has made me feel that I don’t count as a customer. Honda does not stand behind thier cars. My last Honda after owning ten. I traded it off after unable to get Honda to fix the issues. I lost $10,000.00, needless to say that is my last Honda.

Best Accord Yet (Nov 2017) - Updated (Nov 2018)

I came out of a 2015 Genesis sedan lease and financed the 2018 Accord Touring the day it went on sale in October 2017. I test drove the 2018 Camry (Toyota missed a lot of the tech the Accord has, making it a no go for me, even in the top trim level...plus the Camry costs more), 2017 CR-V (nice vehicle, but Accord had a few features the CR-V doesn't, like cooled seats and the newer Honda infotainment system), 2017 Mazda CX-5 (nice, but missing some tech), and the 2018 Audi A5 Sportback (super nice, but with a price tag to go along with it...$57K). The Accord was the clear winner of the bunch. It is somewhat reminiscent of my Genesis from a tech standpoint, but for $20K less. The Accord is easily the most luxurious feeling midsize family sedan I've driven, trumping even the Mazda 6. The material and build quality in the cabin is top notch; everything feels great to the touch. The active safety tech works well. The cabin is roomy and visibility is great. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are very useful and work well with Honda's new infotainment system (the 2018 Odyssey is the only other Honda with this new system). The sound system in the Touring is pretty good. Not an enthusiast-level system by any means, but certainly better than most non-luxury car "high-end" systems I've heard. The heated and cooled seats work very well. The car is relatively quiet on the highway compared to the competition, although coming from a Genesis which was bank vault-quiet, it seems a bit noisy by comparison. I do mostly highway driving at 77 MPH and have been averaging 34 MPG combined which is good, but not amazing. My car is the Radiant Red Metallic with Ivory leather and the combo is quite striking. I've been stopped by a few people who can't believe it is an Accord. On the negative side of things: power is just adequate. It's not slow, but compared to competitors with a V-6 or even the upcoming 2.0T Accord, it is a bit underwhelming. If you want performance, wait for the 2.0T at the end of Nov 2017. It is faster than the old V-6 Accord and even the new Camry V-6. The other benefit of the 2.0T will be the 10-speed auto in place of the CVT the 1.5T has. It's is okay as far as CVTs go, but not my favorite kind of transmission. Bottom line: this is without a doubt the best midsize family sedan on the market currently. Toyota tried with the new Camry, but failed pretty hard in my book. The Camry's 8-speed transmission is jerky, the interior is a bit of a chocolate mess, there is no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, no ventilated seats, and no memory seats at ANY trim level, even the fully loaded XSE V-6 which costs an unbelievable $40K. Every major auto publication comparison test between the two cars has given the Accord the victory at every trim level, so there's no doubt the Accord will continue its reign as the most winning vehicle of all time on Car and Driver's annual 10 Best List. ///Nov 2018 Update: I wrote my original 5-star review back in Nov 2017 after owning my 2018 Touring for a month. It's now been roughly a year and 18,000 miles later. Having lived with the car this long, I would bring the overall score down from 5-stars to 3.5-stars. Here is why: rattles everywhere. Both B-pillars rattle and the doors have rattles. The rear deck behind the rear seats rattles whenever there is any kind of bass in music. The cupholders are the worst design I have ever used in any car. They don't fit half the various size water bottles I own (which all fit perfectly in my wife's Pacifica or my old Genesis). The ones that do fit, tip over half the time when going around a turn, which is really annoying. The "high end" sound system in the Touring is merely okay. It's a non-name brand system that will certainly not wow you, especially when the entire rear of the car is rattling with bass. When I am cruising on the highway in the left lane with ACC engaged and lane keep assist turned on, about a third of the time whenever I pass a slower car in the right lane, my car will momentarily slam on the brakes as the nose of my car comes abeam the rear end of the other car, even though both cars are perfectly straight in their lanes and inside their lines. It recovers quickly, but it is pretty annoying, especially when passing on the left with other traffic on your tail. On a hot desert summer day, if I turn the cooled seats on the second I start the car, my seats barely cool off to ambient temp by the end of my 40 min drive home. In my wife's Pacifica, no matter what the outside temp, your butt/back will be frozen solid within 5-10 minutes if you keep the cooled seats on. The positives of the car still exist: roomy, reliable mechanicals, good mileage, lots of nice tech. I'm guessing my particular car was one of the earliest built since the dealer sold it to me the day prior to the car officially going on sale in the US back in Oct 2017. Hopefully future model years will rectify some of the issues I've seen, but for now I am lowering my overall score.
