2018 Accord. Another Terrific Generation!
After owning a 2013, 2014 and 2016 Accord I was excited about the new generation. The first thing that stood out when I sat in the vehicle is improved his visibility. The dash is low and the pillars are thin giving you terrific visibility. Navigation and heads up display are now properly placed (high) on dash. I was a little troubled initially because there was no full-time tachometer visible on the display. The factory ships this in the off position. It can be turned on full-time in settings and all of your other information is displayed in the center of the tach (looks great). There is a lot of discussion regarding the 1.5 L turbo. I have always bought the four-cylinder in the past for gas mileage. I keep the vehicle in eco-mode and have not noticed a difference in power with this engine versus the previous 2.4 L Others have mentioned engine noise but it is not noticeable in the touring model due to the acoustic glass on the front and sides. With break in complete, MPG seems to be slightly less than my previous models. On all highway trips I can average 37 to 39 tops depending on the top speed. With speed limits of 70-75 mph, MPG often drops into the 36 miles per gallon range. Previous models could reach 40MPG or slightly above.

I may have gotten a dud
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.

Would not recommend
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.

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.

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.
