Used 2019 Honda Accord Sedan Consumer Reviews
4.7 star rating
Bought on 8/31/2019. Did extensive research before purchase, and I feel that I got a very good car. The 2.0L turbo is snappy, and very responsive in normal and sport mode. Econ mode is good for flat, interstate Highway driving when there is minimal traffic. The 10 speed automatic is smooth and responsive. Took it for a 2,000+ mile trip and averaged 37 mpg over both flat and mountainous terrain. The one big issue is the sensitive brakes. Very quick to grab and hold, faster than what I feel is normal other than an emergency stop. I'm used to braking with a slow, firm pressure that you increase proportionally in relation to how fast you want to come to a complete stop. The accord brakes can accurately be described as "touchy". I'm still getting used to it. Otherwise, the car is a pleasure to drive. Car interior is nice, the big infotainment screen is not as intrusive as I first thought, but would have liked a nice CD player built in. The transmission buttons (no "stick") are easy to use and not bothersome. Drink holders are ok, and there are enough "pigeon holes" to stash stuff in the door, center console, and in front of the center console under the infotainment dash. I really like all the controls on the steering wheel, and the transmission paddle shifters are a nice feature, especially if you're a gadget guy. One note about downshifting. My former sedan had a 3 spd auto with OD, and to get the comparable kind of compression slowing as in down-shifting from Drive to Second, the Honda's 10 spd auto you'd have to drop down to about 4th or 5th. Have not had any other problems with the car.

Fun Car
Considered Honda Accord 2.T vs Toyota Camry XSE V6 - Honda felt and handled better than my BMW 5 series at a much better cost. Comes with Honda reliability and much less than comparable European cars. Love to drive it

Worth the wait!
Do your homework... The 2019 Honda EX-L is everything that I expected and wanted in a vehicle. I am Honda gal, so I'm not surprised at all. I absolutely love it!

Expected a bit more
For a car that costs over $30k, I was expecting just a bit more. My other car is a 2012 Dodge Durango Limited which I'm using for some of my comparisons. First is the sound system. I like good sound, but I'm not super picky, and I don't care about power, just quality. Compared to the Durango, the Accord sounds like a cheap boom box. I was not expecting the Accord to be as good as the Durango, I just expected something not grossly poorer. Instrumentation and controls are my next disappointment. The Durango has the audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. This makes them easy to operate without looking and keeps them segregated from the driving controls. The Accord has too many small controls crowded on the front and requires me to look down to find what I need. The speedometer is difficult to read with a quick glance. One reason for this is that it goes up to 160 mph. If it only went to 120, there would be more room to spread things out. Given the hard to read speedometer, a digital speed added to the center of the speedometer or to the "Range and Fuel" screen would solve my problem, but this doesn't exist. The Durango speedo is bigger with much better contrast. I like the lane departure system, but there should be an option for an audible beep on departure like some of the other manufacturers have. My last gripe is that the EX-L model is missing some high end features that other manufacturers include in similar models: Rain sensing wipers, automatic high/low beams, and backup collision braking. If I knew all this before I bought the Honda, chances are I still would have made the same decision, but I would have taken a second look at the Subaru.
