Very Uncomfortable Seats; Poor Sound System
I have newly leased a 2019 Honda Accord. I want to be sure to offer an important comment to those considering this sedan. The driver's seat in this car is very, very uncomfortable. It has made me regret purchasing (leasing) the car. The seat is quite low to begin with (as is the passenger's). The main issue is that the seat cushion and back lumbar support is terrible. The controls for moving the seat and lumbar positions are totally inadequate. They do not come close to providing the assistance with adjustment that they should. My previous two cars were Nissan Altimas and the difference between the comfort of the driver's seat is remarkable. When I test drove the 2019 Accord and Altima cars I felt the difference in the seats, but with all the items to consider in new car test drives in a short period of time it is hard to give every item its due attention. To be noted I have lumbar arthritis and may be more susceptible to back issues, but there surely are a lot of people with this problem. A second notable inadequacy in the car is the sound system. This is quite a poor quality speaker system despite its upgraded claims. It does not hold a candle to the Bose system in my 2016 Altima. I am not commenting on the mechanical parts of the car because I have not had it for very long and I am not a mechanic. Please be aware of these items if you consider this vehicle. UPDATE: I tossed in the Honda Accord towel and got a 2019 Nissan Altima Platinum. I am much happier. Great car. Much, much better seats and better sound system. Great ride. Amazing effortlessly and accurate steering. Looks sharp ( as does the Accord).Give it your good consideration.

Honda Cars are not Trustworthy
We bought a brand new Honda Accord 2019(LX) on June 29, 2019. Not even a month later i.e. On Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 7:49 pm my Honda Accord stopped in the middle of the highway due to unknown reason. Behind us was a truck and we were at 70 mph highway, we were about to be hit either by the truck or by the car on the right lane. Thanks to the truck driver and the person driving that SUV who stopped in time. We merely escaped death like situation. Post that I called Honda Road Side Assistance and they asked me to move to a safe location and call them again. I tried to drive the car again and drove couple of miles where my car finally stopped moving and smoke started coming from the exhaust. Scared we quickly evacuated the car and moved to a safe location at 8:23 pm. Post that Cops came to ask why we stopped there, we explained them the situation. We were told to stop the engine and wait there till the towing car arrived. I had so much trust in Honda and we are so traumatized with this situation and I still can’t believe how this happened. This is a brand new car with total miles of 657 miles. I didn’t expect this from a brand-new car. We were lucky enough to escape death on the Highway. We were exhausted and terrified with this event. Yesterday Honda Service center company called and told that the the turbo charger failed internally, causing oil to go into the exhaust system. This caused contamination of the catalytic converter and damaged the oxygen sensors. I am not sure if I can or anyone can trust Honda ever again. If something would have happened to me or my family will Honda be responsible for this. Question is do you still trust Honda ?

Horrible road noise
I love the handling shape of the car and many other good things this car had to offer BUT it has a very loud tire road noise when you drive on the freeway on 75 or 80 .I went to Vegas in this car and I rather go in my 2010 Camry that has 105 k miles ,I am thinking to put it on swap a lease and go back to Camry.
Concerned!
For someone who has driven many cars, I do not feel comfortable driving this car over 60mph. I almost lost control on the freeway. I am not confident in the stability of this vehicle. I will be taking this vehicle to get checked by Honda. It feels great when driving in the city at lower speeds.

LOUD ENGINE & NOISEY CABIN
I test drove a brand new 2019 Accord EX-L . I'm 6'-4" and getting in & out of this car is terrible because the seats sit so low. What were you thinking Honda ? Another game changer is the seat comfort, it's nonexistent. The seat is extremely hard and quite short from front to back giving little leg support for taller people. I believe this car was designed with short people in mind. Next issue is the engine noise & WOW, It's pretty loud when you push the peddle to accelerate. Next issue & I have noticed on numerous Honda's is the loud road noise. Next issue I noticed while driving is the hood metal tends to flutter at higher speeds. I've test driven numerous Honda vehicles over the last decade when I needed a new car but Honda has pushed me away with their lack of attention to the road noise & seat comfort. I'll take the Camry over the Accord any day simply because the Camry is far more comfortable and the seats sit higher and the engine is so much quieter when you punch the peddle down, along with the larger door mirrors and higher seat height giving better ease in & out along with better visibility & comfort makes the Camry an easy choice even with the issues of the entertainment system. Another advantage of the Toyota engine is the combination of Direct & Port injection which keeps carbon buildup to nearly nonexistence. One last thing, why the huge I-pad style screen that protrudes up so high ? I'd rather have the integrated screen as part of the dash like the Camry has & it's so much more stylish looking than that bulbous screen sticking so high up in the Honda.

Nice Looking Car But Way Too Many Issues.
I use to own a 2019 Accord EX-L with the turbocharged 1.5 engine. The engine has alot of turbo lag below 2500rpm which was really annoying. My foot is mashing the gas pedal and the car barely moves. I brought my car to have an oil change and when I got home I noticed a message saying my tire pressure was low. I check every tire and each had 35 pounds of air. Also, on the infotainment screen on the dash there were several messages which said CMBS (collision mitigation braking system) problem and to take it to the dealer. Now I remind you I’d never ever had this happen until I brought the car in for an oil change. Whether the serviceman screwed something up I don’t know but it appeared I was not the only one who’s car has this problem. I’ve reported to problem to the NHTSA so we’ll see if they will get Honda to issue a recall. Also, there’s an abundance of road noise when driving the car and it’s not the smoothest car I’ve owned. While griping let me say that tall people 6 feet will have a hard time getting in and out of the car because it sits do low. I received a recall notice from Honda prior to selling my car. Honda’s ysed to be reliable cars but not any more. They aren’t even in the list of the top 10 most reliable cars. I would not recommend a Honda but buy a Lexus, Toyota or Suburu instead.

Best sedan in its class
The Honda Accord is the best sedan in its class because of the gas mileage and re sale value and all the sensing features ot has, the accord doesn't disappoint.
Defective - android auto crashes while driving
Overall good mechanically but terrible electronics. Honda knows about its defective android auto but has done nothing to fix it. This is a dangerous defect in that android auto navigation apps such as waze crash (constantly) while driving. Either Honda does not care about quality or is completely incompetent. Spoke to my dealer who informed me that this is 3rd party app and that since it is the 3rd part's product (google (maps, waze, etc.) problem, I need to call google if I want support. I guess Honda will not support or stand behind its Android Auto / Apple car-play product. Honda pointing the finger at google and abandoning its customers is pathetic. Honda should update its sales material and inform prospective customers that while Android Auto is sold as a feature of the car, Honda should disclose that they refuse to support it. If smart phone integration is important, then DO NOT buy this car.

Painful 2019 Accord
As a tall man, the center console kills my right leg when driving at normal resting position. I didn't notice it when I test drove it on the 2019 Accord but I sure notice after I have been in the car on trips. The people who designed it must have been short.
