Almost 20k miles
This is my second Accord and 4th Honda. Pros of this car: The Apple/Android car play are easy to use, the steering wheel controls are smartly placed and easy to command, and the digital display options on dash can be switch to many different options. The gas mileage has been 26.9 around town and 32 combined, it is easy to drive and the air conditioning gets cold fairly quickly in 90+ weather. The wheels and tires provide smooth and stable ride and look nice and there is a lot of interior room in front and back seat. Going from the Accord V6 to the 2018 1.5L turbo has not been an issue. This car has plenty of power and sport mode makes it fun to drive. Brake hold is a nice feature to have while driving in city traffic. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and the purchase price. The cons: The seat materials seem decent. In the beginning I felt they were cheap but now see they are durable. I am 5’6” and have never felt I sat too low in a Honda but feel I sit low in the car which makes visibility more difficult. You step slightly up and out of the car rather than just straight across like the 2006 Accord. Older Hondas are much more easy to drive and you felt more in control of the car since visibility was so easy. This new Accord has the feel that reminds me of a Ford or Chevy where the hood is visible from driver seat, which is new to Hondas. Unfortunately, due to being able to see the hood the car feels wider, which was one of the new features. The brake and gas pedal are also farther apart than the old Hondas. I do not like the placement and often find myself pressing on the bottom quarter of the gas pedal. I am still having to adjust to the new look and drivability of the new Honda style. Overall, enjoy the car and have no regrets in buying. Great car for the price. Updates: Love the Lane keep assist and auto cruise control on long trips. It slows and accelerates on its own and keeps a safe distance from car in front of you. If you turn on cruise control it will drive for you in stop and go traffic up to 25 mph. I am use to the larger feel of the car. Still have no regrets with this purchase and am pleased with the performance and drivability.

Nice car, one thing missing
This is a nice car and I like everything about it except....it does not have keyless entry. It does have push button start however. If a car has a push button start it should have keyless entry. I could have spent more and gotten the EX which has keyless entry but they only had a black or white one which I did not want. I did not discover fgat it did not have keyless entry until the deal was done. My 2008 Nissan Altima had keyless entry and push button start which I owned for 11 years. Dislike digging for my key fob to open the door. Cars should be keyless entry and push button start or you use a key.

Too Pretty
You know, its kinda counter- intuitive, but the accord was too pretty, and that is why I didn't buy it. As someone looking for an accord, I wanted a modest car to get me from point A to point B, with good gas mileage, good interior room, and a fair bit of sport sedan fun along the way. But the new accords, while they look great in photos... I just could not bring myself to sign the papework, because the car was too good looking. If I were going to the club every night, sure, but I was using it to go to work, and haul the kids to school. It just wasn't right. I went with a crossover instead. Even though, I preferred the accord, it just was too much flash. I think, the black paint on the 19" wheels was a step too far. Probably would have bought if it had 18" standard silver alloys.
