First Impression: A Great Value
Purchased the Honda Accord Sport 1.5 CVT. As is usual for Honda, this car appears very well designed. Visually, it carries the appearance of a car more expensive than the mid $20s. The 19 inch rims look very nice even if they are a bit impractical given their weight and more expensive tire choices. The Sport's Turbo 1.5 Inline Four is paired with a CVT transmission. If I could have found the manual version, I would have quickly chosen that. Handling is responsive and precise and, despite the smaller engine, power appears more than adequate. There are three selectable driving modes, Normal, "Sport", and "Eco". The best gas mileage supposedly comes with "Eco", but you'll find a more sluggish and frankly barely adequate throttle response. The "Normal" mode will satisfy most and produces a comfortable acceleration response in traffic and freeway environments. The "Sport" mode boosts engine RPM a bit so the turbo response from a stop will be faster, but also the least fuel efficient. No one will be winning drag races with this, but don't be put off by this engine size until you actually try it. I was not a believer in four-cylinder engines before driving this. Acceleration with the CVT is very smooth, and there are paddle-shifters on the Sport for reasons that, considering that there aren't any actual gears in a CVT, remain a bit of a mystery. But they do look good on the steering wheel! The interior is excellent, especially for a car in this price range. Some complain about the vehicle being lower to the ground, but the Accord isn't any different than any other sedan of its type. In fact, I find this easier to get in and out of this than a friend's 2014 Accord. If you have trouble maneuvering yourself into something lower than an SUV, then stick to SUVs. Once inside, there is plenty of head and legroom in front and back. The driver seat is power adjustable in every conceivable way. The dark upholstery is a comfortable mix of cloth and stitched synthetic leather that provides an upscale look. The dash is a combination of analog and multi-function LED displays. The 8-inch infotainment touch display also has hard keys and two control knobs. Everything is easily within reach and reasonably intuitive. With a current phone, and a bit of configuring, Android Auto works well. The Sport doesn't have Sirius integrated into the audio suite, but if you're a Sirius subscriber (i.e. with another vehicle), then you can stream it through your phone at no additional cost. The Sirius App works through Android Auto and is easily accessed through the infotainment display. If you have a separate Sirius receiver with only a 3.5mm audio jack, you'll need to purchase an FM or BT transmitter to pipe it through the vehicle's audio system. The Honda Sensing suite requires a bit of trial-and-error experience to learn the best configuration. The collision avoidance is a nice fail-safe that doesn't interfere with normal driving unless you like to run up close to other cars at high speed. The lane keeping looks most appropriate for highway driving. If you're driving in an area where you might have to maneuver to avoid a road hazard, the system will fight with you a bit, so I usually have it off. Everything in this package can be adjusted by the driver while stopped or in motion. So far, everything on this car works as advertised. This is my third Honda in two years, I still own them all, and I'm not sure where you find a better value. My only current concern with this car in terms of construction is the lower front grill, which is made of a somewhat flexible hard plastic. Plastic grills are pretty standard these day, but this looks a bit thin. I've not read about it being a problem area, and time will tell if it will hold up. For me, the ride is reasonably smooth, but you will feel more of the road in this version because of the low-aspect tires. If you tend to notice every bump, buy a version with fatter tires.

Honda Accord Touring
An incredible car. It replaced a 2001 Jaguar Vandeplas supercharged. Performance is about the same with a firmer ride. The wheels are vulnerable to pot holes. I love all the safety features. No problems so far.

2020 Accord Touring
I have only had the vehicle one week and will update this as needed. First off, the car needed an alignment from the time I took delivery. I chalked up the floaty all over the road feeling to not being used to this vehicle. After a day driving of driving I realized that was not the case and dropped by my local dealer. The tech took me on the ride with him and said it was definitely pulling to the right. The solution was an alignment. That solved the problem but on my way home from the dealer I got a "Tire Pressures Low" light in my instrument cluster. I checked all tires with a gauge and they were the same pressure. Contacted the dealer and they advised the tech did nothing with the tires or pressures. They walked me through recalibrating the TPMS. Light went off. The next day the light returned after about 25 minutes of driving. Again, I checked the pressures and there was no issue. I dropped by my local dealer again to have them check the tires for nails, etc. Nothing in the tires so they reset something else in the vehicle. So far the light has stayed off. This is not something I expected to happen to a vehicle with less than 300 miles on the odometer. My next issue is that my key fob did not registered with the vehicle. When I got in the car the driver's seat did not move into it's normal position I have saved. I realized this after a few minutes of driving and I felt like I was sitting further back from the dash than usual. I looked at the door and saw that it was not set to driver 1. None of the driver setting lights on the door were illuminated. The key had been in the car the entire time since it was started so I am not sure why my settings were not remembered upon start-up of the vehicle. Other than these issues the car does have pros: Nice interior No issues w/road noise as others have stated Roomy but the car doesn't drive like it's a big car Smooth ride Adaptive cruise is smoother than the 2017 Accord I had Cons: 10 spd transmission needs a couple of seconds to kick down when attempting to speed up. Plan your lane changes with this in mind. Stereo system could be better. Sounds tinny with lots of different music types. Not a fan of the push button gear selector. Maybe I'll get used to it?
