Used 2023 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Electrical Problems
Warning, this car has electrical problems that can be dangerous. Look up 2023 Honda electrical problems online. Lots of complaints. I’m scared to have my wife driving this thing. We have had it in the shop 3 times and they keep saying there’s nothing they can do.

Canyon River Blue Cruiser
We have accumulated 7,000 miles on our 2023 Accord Hybrid Touring acquired just over a year ago. It is her daily driver and our road trip car. We have averaged 42.3 MPG to date. My wife likes the simplicity of the hybrid system and the infotainment. Nothing wonky or complicated, just drive it like a normal car. With good lane centering and very good adaptive cruise control, the car eats up the miles on road trips. In traffic-jam mode, the car operates hands free, feet free while moving at low speeds in stop-and-go traffic. Handling and performance are appropriate for a daily driver. The price of the car was right at the average new car price out the door. This represents good value for a family car with entry-level luxury interior and options.

23 Accord Hybrid--Yes!
I was one of the first to get the 23 accord EXL hybrid. February of 23 I took delivery. I love this car. The huge touchscreen, the wireless apple car play, the sleek styling, the handling. And if you need pickup, this puppy will go! I used to think hybrids were all slow pokes. NOT TRUE with this. Tons of horsepower. Gas mileage. It is listed at 51mpg overall. I would concur with that. But in the summer I was regularly getting 55, 57, 58 mpg on a complete tank of gas ( nearly 600 miles). Some trips are more some less. Some days on my 7 mile trip home from work, I might get 70-80-90 mpg. But those are just short trips. Overall , in the summer I was getting big mileage on a full tank. I did notice that in January ( I live in northern Indiana), when temps got cooler, the mileage went down. If it is above 40 degrees outside, yes, i would say 51 mpg overall. Temp in the 30s, mpg will be in the 40s. Below 30 degrees, it may dip into low 40 mpg. And regardless of temp, highway is always less. So I would say, overall for a year, 51 mpg is pretty close. A minor issue-- all the radar and sensors are located in the front grill behind the 'H" emblem. Well if it snowing and slushy and that gets covered with snow, you will be advised that your lane keep assistance and other things are disconnected until you clean that off. Well, that includes the cruise control, which now will prevent you from plowing into someone in front of you...So, on that rare occasion when there is a bit of snow in the air, you may be without cruise control temporarily. This same thing happens on my wife's 2020 CR-V. But this is a rare issue, and I am not sure how they could solve it. My one complaint, and I even contacted Honda and they responded to me. Unfortunately, it was just a customer service rep, who said she understood and would be happy to pass it up the chain of command. This is minor, but when listening to USB audio. The screen should display the Song Title, the Artist, and the Album name. All those items are embedded in the tag on the mp3 file. My 2017 Accord displayed these perfectly. Well, the 2023 displays the File Name ( not the Song Title-- usually they are the same but not necessarily), the Artist (good job there ), and the Folder (not the Album name). I commonly throw a bunch of mp3 songs into a folder and give it a random name like 2017c. The Album each song came from may be different, yet each Album name is indeed embedded in the tag. So whoever wrote this software, or probably whoever bought this software does not understand audio files. This should be an easy fix. Just fix the software to display the Song Title, Artist, and Album. If the software can correctly get the Artist from the tag, certainly it can get the other two items correctly. The Software can then be updated, and next time I get my oil changed they can update the software. Come on Honda, you are better than this! Otherwise this is a GREAT CAR. Highly recommended! Update2 1/2 years and i love this car more than ever. Gas mileage in summer is 55-60 on a tank. Winter when temp is below 35, it falls to the 40s. But it is great. Wireless apple car play, big touchscreen. Great!

Beware!!
Haven’t had the car even a year and the engine had to be replaced, the brand is not what it used to be.

Stressed me df OUT, ok when it didn't.
I purchased my 2023 Honda accord back in July. It was a hybrid sport. First issue, I live in California and the tires on the car have wide grooves which hook on to the grooves of highways... With that being said the vehicle would be thrown left and right and move very squirrely. Felt unsafe and while I had this car I avoided highways as much as I can because of this. At about 5-6k miles, there was a sharp whining noise when I rolled down my driver window. Never got it fixed but I assume it was a seal issue, because with the windows rolled up you can hear my music inside the car very clearly... Around this time the car would randomly jerk. Noticed this happened between 49-59mph which is when the engine is engaged. Very abrupt and dealer said they couldn't replicate it (of course) so it never got fixed. Side mirror glass shakes and you can see it shaking because it's almost blurry due to all the vibrations. The switch from electric to engine is very abrupt and you can tell. Not smooth whatsoever. I couldn't deal with the jerking, it happened from a stop to acceleration and is very embarrassing, especially because it's a brand new car. And when it happens while driving it's very unsafe and embarrassing... The suspension + tires is not a good combo at all, never enjoyed the ride of the vehicle... Felt every bump, every cracked road, any sort of imperfection on the road... Not impressed. I don't want you to think this was a HORRIBLE vehicle, but I wouldn't buy one again... I'd still recommend the car because the jerking wasn't something other people with the same car said they had. The seal could have just been my vehicle, and most of the issues may have just been my car. I forced myself to love this car but deep down I was unhappy with my purchase at times. BUT, the car had a lot of good aspects to it. I'd recommend the vehicle in 2025, when they can fix and tweak any problems. Also if you are someone that doesn't do much driving then sure. The car is great on gas, about 480 miles on average for a full tank. About 450 after putting over 10k miles on the car. The interior is great... had a rattle noise but it didn't bother me that much and only occurred rarely. The cloth seats are very comfortable and I commute so for an hour + ride they are very good and keep you in your seat. - The infotainment screen is amazing. Very responsive and especially in apple carplay. The screen is very long and the backup camera is pretty good. Has a wide version, so when backing up you almost don't need to turn your head. Carplay connects as soon as I get in the vehicle and it's wireless. - The gauge cluster is the best part of this car. It is configurable in ways other brands don't have. My favorite was the minimal option which is just an animation of you car on a road and that's it. It can display your music (am or fm or apple carplay music) and navigation on the other. - When I first got the car it accelerated pretty quickly. I found myself not even having to put much pressure on the gas and the car took off. It also has an electric whine when you accelerate which sounds cool and gives off electric car vibes. - The look of the car is controversial and I did like mine but sometimes I questioned it. Overall it looked good, especially in the back. I could go on and on about this review but I feel that I've typed a lot already... Here is my HONEST conclusion to this review and should you get this vehicle? Short answer, yes. As I said most of the issues I had weren't found across every other owner and may have just been my car. (besides the tires, which depends where you live and if you have grooved roads or not.. btw I had the 19 inch goodyear tires that come with the car). If we take away the jerking issue I would have loved this vehicle. Hopefully Honda does something to make the suspension or give the car different tires and make it drive a bit better on bad roads. But, if you want a very fuel efficient vehicle, smooth driving on smooth pavements, somewhat fun-ish to drive, spacious, big infotainment screen, and cool minimal gauge cluster, red glowing push to start button, comfortable seats, visually appealing interior and exterior, safe features, moon roof, and much more...get the vehicle. My car ended up being totaled, but it kept me super safe and actually alerted emergency services upon impact (I think or it was my apple watch, I don't know lol). Just wait for the 2025, or maybe even get the 2024. Honda will hopefully fix any kinks, I wouldn't get the car again because I like to experience new things and want to try a different car brand, but if you have always had a Honda or want to try Honda, definitely get the accord!
