2021 Accord LX- An incredible value
Just purchased a new 2021 Accord LX after shopping many different vehicles. With standard Apple Carplay, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and dual zone climate control, the features are plenty for me, and are offered at a reasonable price. Cars are all really expensive, so reasonable is a relative term, but I do believe that this was a great value for the money. For me, driving the car is enjoyable. The car gives a stable, larger car ride but with good cornering and feedback from the road. Acceleration is good even in the eco mode and so combined mileage near 30 mpg is good. So far, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for a good value in reliable transportation. The fact that the car is built in Ohio is another plus for me. I am happy to support American workers regardless of the brand. Another part of this experience that helped me to be so positive is having the transaction conducted at a dealership that is straightforward and decent to do business with. The salesperson was outstanding and was completely honest with me. It is much easier to like a car more when the purchasing experience is also positive. I look forward to many years of driving this car.

Accord, Touring 2.0. Great car, our first Honda
What can I say, we love the 2021 Accord Touring 2.0. The Accord beat out a Genesis G80, and the Lexus ES350. We loved the G80, but what I hated about the G80 was the information center, at best it is cumbersome to use. The Lexus also failed in the difficult to use information center category. On a whim, we decided to look at the Accord Touring 2.0 and based on Road and Track and Car and Drivers magazine reviews. The Honda is a great ride. It is only 250 horse and 280 torque, but it feels quicker than that. The Honda's info center is a breeze to use, and has "wireless apple play", wireless phone charging, every option is standard equipment, including Nav, heated, and ventilated seats, heated rear seats, etc. List was $38290.00 we purchased ours for $34,500.00. I emailed every Honda dealer in Kansas, guess what, a few dealers were willing to deal on a pretty deep price. My wife last four vehicles were Infinity's. We loved the Infinity brand, but the brand has become boring and stale. The Accord does have a little bit more road noise that the Genesis and Lexus, but guess what the Genesis was 20K more than the Accord, and the Lexus was 15K more than the Accord. After driving the Honda for 1000 miles, we are very pleased with our purchase, and many dollars ahead. Do your self a favor and at least look at the Honda.

No way to improve this magnificent car
My 5th Honda makes a fan. Their reliability is legendary and efficiency in design and engineering excellence makes Honda products a joy to own. I am continually blown away by my new 2021 Accord EX-L. I have never experienced such a refined, powerful, and thoughtfully designed automobile. Every part of this vehicle is spot on. From its spacious, beautifully crafted interior with high quality materials and vault-like platform to its super responsive, instant on turbine-like power and exceptional driving dynamics, I just don’t know how Honda makes this car any better. It’s low, wide stance and sweeping lines is striking. The paint appears to be wet, it’s so richly applied with zero pebbling. Brakes, steering feel and handling are stunning and it accelerates like a jet from any speed with peak torque right above idle. And the much maligned CVT transmission is butter smooth, flawlessly delivering instant power in either drive or sport mode. In the end, it comes down to the Accord’s masterfully balanced and refined driving dynamics obsessively improved over almost 40 years. I drove the KIA K5. Nice car but it lacks the magical driving dynamics of the Accord. If you want lots of gadgets get the K5. If you want proven reliability, economy and value and REALLY LOVE to have fun driving an exceptional automobile, get the Accord.
I could get in trouble with this car
Got an Accord Sport SE in sonic grey pearl last week and have been driving it a lot. Am I allowed to say that I might actually like the CVT? Was hesitant to buy it because of this but it's not a hindrance at all like CVT's I've driven in various hybrid cars. It really performs well, "downshifting" when you stomp the pedal and keeping the engine in an optimum RPM range most of the time without the continuous gear changes of an automatic. I haven't even tried the paddle shifters yet, which are supposed to mimic a 7-speed automatic, and have spent very little time in Sport mode because the car is plenty fast in plain old Drive. Too fast sometimes to the point you look at the speedometer and are surprised. Mind you I'm not comparing this to sports cars, just plain old family sedans I've owned in the past. The car has almost all the bells and whistles. With the Sport SE you never need to take the key fob out of your pocket to unlock, drive or lock the car. Walk up and touch it and it unlocks, walk away and it locks automatically. There's remote engine start plus a cool feature Honda doesn't advertise where you can open all the windows remotely. The leather seats are nice but not very fancy for leather seats. There's a TON of space everywhere. The gas pedal is a little sensitive to the touch, would like something requiring more effort to push down, and the brake pedal is positioned high up so it's not always comfortable getting your foot on it. Apple CarPlay works well but is not wireless. The stereo may be 180 watts with 8 speakers, but it could sound better. You get some road noise on rough pavement with the 19-inch wheels, but they handle great and look even better. This car stays flat on corners and bends where my old Camry felt like it might go off the road. Very pleased so far.
The Sport mode
I m not new to Honda brand my and I have been for at least 20 yrs and they’ve yet to disappoint. The quality of the cabin ride has improved quite a bit from the previous version not that they were bad but I love when you closed any door it feels like your in a higher end luxury car without the price tag. Now the handle of the suspension in sport mode takes it to another level and yet mpg is still not to shabby the horsepower from the v6 to 4cylinder with turbo mode is great and it still doesn’t take away from the fuel economy. The technology is very unique because you get all the features of a navigation system without the cost with the apple CarPlay feature sure you use your cell data but the savings of upgrade to have the feature built in well you do the math. So let’s also talk about the easy connection to your cell phone for hands free calls and playing your own music especially with your subscription.

All Around Awesome
This car is solid, rides like you are floating, has excellent acceleration, tech in this car is advanced, has large gas tank with average 360miles per tank, I am enjoying it thoroughly.
Luxury without the price tag!
I moved over to my accord from an Acura. It’s actually as nice, if not nicer than my Acura was and it costs less. The materials used are top notch and it drives wonderfully. The 2.0 is well worth the upgrade!

Best car in its class hands down
What a car for it's value is incredible. Feels like luxury on the inside and passengers are impressed when inside and it looks sporty on the outside. Hits all the age ranges. The younger people like the sport model and for the older customer there's the touring trim. So how can you go wrong. I have the Sport 2.0t model and love it. That engine shocks the crap out of people when they take a ride and I open her up and drive more agressive. I mean it's the same engine in the Civic Type R. Just detuned and smaller turbo... So it goes! I'd stay away from the 1.5t model. I owned that one too. Nothing was wrong with it. It's just that CVT transmission makes me very nervous with reliability. Plus the 10 speed in the 2.0 is so much smoother and trustworthy

2021 accord sport
I love my new accord, I would say definitely sit in one before you buy it and make sure it’s something you can get in and out of everyday as the seating position is pretty low and does hamper the entry and exit quite a bit more than I initially thought it would. I would still recommend this car as long as the low seating isn’t an issue.

Best Car I've Ever Owned
During a financial turn-down, I reluctantly turned to a Honda Accord. It wasn't long before the economy turned-around and could return to my appetite for luxury cars. Regardless, I not only kept my Accord, but I have also leased three more since then. My wife also LOVES her CR-Vs and our 3 kids drive Honda's as well. Our transition to becoming a Honda family was something we did not plan but grew out of loving the total experience of owning Hondas. As to my Accords, the best way to discover the potential pleasure of owning one is to take a test drive and discover for yourself.

Amazing!!!
This car has all the feature one would need. It is an amazingly smooth ride. You are able to put it into eco drive if that works bet for you or even sport mode. It has alerts to when needed to stay within the lane and even when it is time for you to stop and rest. Accords have always even reliable and great on gas.

Can't go wrong with Honda
In comparison to our 2012 Accord SE which was a great trouble free car for 120k. Our 2021 EX-L has a softer ride and more responsive acceleration. Body design and interior is sporty and classy. The LED headlights are excellent. Fuel mileage is about the same. The display was easy to connect to and is easy to navigate. Has a well equiped option package. We felt it offered the best of both worlds luxury and reliability. The only thing we didn't care for is the automatic idle stop it is always engaged until turned off and must be turned off each time the car is started which is the same in most vehicles that offer this function.

2021 Sport 2.0T
Got mine since 9/2021 in still night pearl and enjoying my new ride so far with zero or little regrets. Cons: average or below average speakers/sound system (well, this is a Honda), not so great interior/exterior build quality compared to the competition with similar price range. Pros: excellent powertrain engine/transmission build quality with amazing driving manners and handling (well, again this is a Honda) and large interior space including backseat legroom and trunk size which was one of my selection criterion. I knew some of the cons before I bought it, and oh, yeah it's a blast to drive in sport mode! Gas mileage is as expected and improving. Overall, happy owner and highly recommend!!

Stealth sports car
My new Accord has handling and power to spare, and gets great gas mileage to boot. I drive on side roads, to and from work everyday, and the driver assist system has already prevented 2 accidents; it slows down and maintains speed, plus it helps keep me in my lane. I am very thankful for my new car!

beautiful car, nice drive
Have owned only Honda/Acura. Have had CIVIC Accord and Acura TSX. This car is as nice as my TSX with more features. Bought the Acura in 10/2003. Paid $1000K more for it than this new car. All cars purchased new. I highly recommend this car. If you want more horsepower get the 2.0 turbo. This 194 HP car is fine for me. Get a lot of compliments regarding appearance. Bought the sonic blue color.

2021 Honda Accord Sport
This is an excellent vehicle. I got even more than I realized at the time. It can drive itself and stop when needed. The ride is smooth and quiet. I bought the Accord Sport. You can switch to sport mode and have a lot more power. I love this car.

Typical Honda ease of ownership. Easy Breezy. Comfortable, fast, quick, reliable, great A/C and overall temp control. My only wich is for a CD player for hundreds of CD's cause I don't want to do Apple car play nonsense. Our RDX 13 has a CD recorder and stores after one use. Fantastic brakes. 5000 mi after 12 moths, one compted oil change and $40 rotation. Traded a 2012 Crosstour, which was fantastic car.

Just hopped into the Accord Sport SE and all I can say is its an absolute steal! The car is stylish, packed with features backed by Honda's unbeatable reliability and support and has more than enough power for the average driver! Go test drive one and you will know its the best car in class for the price.

Great car but to Low
This vehicle has everything you could want, power, quick acceleration, comfort, and all the bells and whistles. Problem is, it is hard to get in and out of. It sits way to low to the ground. Otherwise it would be perfect.

Honda Accord
This car is good for space and ease of operation
Expectations exceeded!!!
I have coveted an Accord since the 2018 redesign. Ours does NOT disappoint! We love it! More technology in this vehicle than I realized. Rides quiet and smooth, and it turns heads. I have wanted sports luxury sedan for a while and this one checks all the boxes with Honda reliability and affordability. Went looking for a 2.0 then test drove the 1.5 and realized it was more than adequate, AND it's getting better MPG than my 2013 Civic.
Highly Recommended
The 2021 Accord EXL is an exquisite vehicle and the best value in its class.

Mistake
Bought mine brand new. Liked the leg room, the color, rims, interior, body style, the system is nice. I have 27,000 miles and already had to take it in for a bad right side motor mount that was causing a vibration. Once I got my car back from the dealer I noticed a clicking noise once I start the car coming from the right side like a lifter is sticking I'll have to take it back while I still have a manufactured warranty. It doesn't have a smooth ride feel every pump in the road. The seats sit to low always have a stiff back when getting out. To be honest I should have bought a Toyota Camry.
5 Stars!
This car is amazing! 5+ Stars!

Cheap black leather interior
I have a 2021 Honda Accord Sport with only about 5000 miles on it, I'm usually the only person in the car and the black leather interior has white spotting on it on the drivers side and the door. Would never recommend this car because I see online this model uses cheap leather material. The car inside looks at least 10 years old because of this. The steering wheel is spotted too. I'm hoping someone could help with this problem.
Window leak
The rear window leaks water before the car hits 3000 miles and I am still waiting on replacement parts to replace the molded parts inside . Super low quality control, stay away .

The car had a lot of road noise, so I drove the CRV which was much better but just not style.
Nerds hay day Customers horror
The nerds seem to have put any a nd every electronic thing they could think of on my 2021 Honda Accord EXL. Many make it more difficult to make a selection and there are non obvious symbols everywhere. The manual is poorly written and finding out and selecting something is very time consuming and not obvious at all even though there may be several says of doing the same thing. I have owned many Accords and have more than one college degree in engineering. I have bought my last Accord. It does get good mileage however.

Scary!
I’m having issues with the car. Car brakes on its own at random while there is no car In front of the vehicle. Winding noise when driving the car. Could be transmission but the car is only a year old 25,000 miles on it. Back right door gets stuck and doesn’t want to open. Dash displays speed limits sometimes marks incorrect speed limits and non existing speed limits. Marks 80, 90, 100. Display screen tends to freeze. Car tends to lock when after unlocking the car. Front right window gets stuck. Windshield tends to fog up every time I turn on the car and repeatedly use the defroster while driving. Have to turn on defroster every so often while I drive.

I originally saw the Touring and fell in love, but when I saw the EX-L it looked very similar to the Touring (at least for this non car expert) and it was far less expensive. Drives great and has all the features I wanted.

Honda Accord 2021 Sport Buyer
It really is worth the price tag. It runs smoothly, it's up to date with the tech features, and its fun to drive.
Classy and sporty ride
Car ride is so smooth yet handles like a sports car. I previously had a 2009 accord before purchasing this one and spent months researching and test driving other makes for a change but at the end of the day it all came back to the accord. If I had to be picky I would say I hear the tire noise but that is a small minutia compared to all the positives! I love my accord! And the sport mode puts a smile on my face
Love the styling but …
I bought my 2021 accord touring new. I have loved the car since. Beautiful styling and a lot of very cool tech. Major fallback is the glitchy infotainment system. It has developed ghost touches. Honda is about to replace the infotainment system for the second time!! The car has been a the dealership several times with no real solution in sight. Honda knows about this defect with no real plan to fix it. It is not only annoying but also dangerous, it causes many distractions. Last but no least the wireless phone charger will not charge an iphone 13 at all. Honda also knows about this issue and do not care to give a solution. Other than that my Accord has been an awesome car!

Too many unnecessary bells and whistles
It’s a chore to perform routine maintenance like an oil change. The under carriage is surrounded by metal plates that have to be removed for a simple oil change. You have to get the vehicle way up in the air and remove them. That change the time from 15 minutes to over 30. I have a philosophy that the more you have in a car, the more that can go wrong. Turbo? They fail frequently and are costly to repair. Wait till the 150K and we’ll see. Can’t they make a model with the same standard equipment as a 2015?
smooth yet annoying rid--too many sensors
Definitely a smooth ride. The traffic Sign recognition System is very inaccurate. this is a feature that shows you speed limits along with road sign information. There has been city limit roads as well as county roads that display with speed limit of 85 mph and even 100 mph. I did not drive in TX as that is the only state that in certain areas of interstate has a speed limit of 85 MPR, therefore I don't understand why the car displays speed limits that do not exist. infotainment is superb. I am amazed what Honda offers as standard (wireless connectivity, wireless charger, rear chargers, fog lights, memory seats, heated seats that actually produce heat, just to name a few. The trunk has plenty of room. the fold down seats are a definite bonus for cargo space. The seats are comfortable but will admit they are quite low to ground--making it difficult for many elders to get in and out of car. Sound system is pretty good and I have the EXL so it has 10 speakers with subwoofer--I will admit it is good but for being the "premium" it lacks sound. I am disappointed to report that I only kept the car for 14months. I do not have children in car seats or passengers in back seat. At 11 months I was thankful Honda replaced my back seat as the rear driver side had two large impressions as if an overweight child was sitting in the back (impressions were near the child reminder sensors). The replacement seat was not as tight as original as i was informed it would not be. I was disappointed with the way the seats in general were wearing. I went to dealership and saw a 2021 EXL which was a one year lease and MY GOD the rear seat was extremely wavy--obvious poor quality leather. I now have a 2023 Camry XSE which I do not like any better but i will say it appears the Toyota seats are much better quality. If i could turn back time I would have kept the 2021 EXL and paid down the road to have the seats redone--what a shame. Man that car has great pick up and excellent fuel mileage.

Not as comfortable as 2016
The newer models sit very low.particularly if your only 5'6 feet. I've had 15 accords But I'm hesitant about buying another one because of the seeding.
