My wife and I are long time Honda/Acura customers. As a teen my favorite car was a ‘86 Honda CRX. I’ve had Civics, Pilots, a CRV, and Accords. Las year (2022) was my first hybrid car, the Accord sport. It was a great car, I really had no complaints other than petty things like lack of a sunroof, no auto dimming mirror with homelink, no wireless charge pad, and lack of power outlets, but I loved driving the car otherwise. I just traded it in for a 2023 Accord sport L in red with black trim. Overall I believe I got a pretty fair deal on this new Accord as I had 18 months left on my 22 lease, and I was going up another few thousand in price with the higher trim level. I love the look of the car. The hybrid system is great, and it’s fun to drive. However, this one lacks fog lights which my sport had. It also has a cheap rear view mirror in it that doesn’t auto dim, it doesn’t have homelink built in, no wireless charge pad, no accent lighting, a really weird panel covering the air vents that you can’t mount anything to at all, and the passenger seat is power, and has a memory position, but you cannot raise or lower the seat. The front seats although leather feel cheaply made, and the backseat passengers get nothing! No air vents, no media outlets, power outlets, nothing! There’s only one 12v outlet and it’s inside the center arm rest. Me personally I still plug in my dashcam/ radar, and air compressor when I need to add air to my tires. Also, there’s no satellite radio, you’d have to stream it from your phone through Apple or android carplay. Lame. I feel like these are little things that a higher trim level should automatically have, but Honda felt like cutting corners to save a few bucks. Having said that, I don’t think they’re the only car manufacturer doing this unfortunately. Having said all of that though, I do like the bigger center touch screen that operates more like the Acura ones. The stereo system seems pretty good seeing as it’s not the touted Bose “premium” system you only get in the touring trim. You can set the steering wheel to normal, Econ or sport feel driving, so that’s nice. I also like how the break hold stays engaged even if the car is parked and turned off til you disengage it from the button, meaning every time you come to a stop it doesn’t move til you press the gas pedal. It has paddle shifters on the wheel which I’ve had in my other vehicles, but I never use them. Also, Apple CarPlay connects immediately upon starting the car which was NOT the case in my 22, which worked maybe 50% of the time. Overall I chose to stay with the Accord hybrid because I like the overall reliability of Honda, I like the way it drives, and the gas mileage is pretty good, not to mention it’s not a plug in, so I’m not paying for electricity. Honestly though, I’m disappointed in Honda for being cheap and cutting corners and it’s showing in their reviews. They’re slipping a bit, but they’re still amongst the best!

My first Accord, and I am impressed. Build quality is very good. Ride quality and handling is excellent. Infotainment is intuitive and reliable. The hybrid power train is smooth and efficient. I'm getting 58mpg with mixed driving. The Regenerative capability is my favorite as it yields max mpg and reduces brake wear. The interior and exterior is minimalist but very functional. BSI and parking sensors are effective. Very good rear camera for reverse. Just a great practical car that has plenty of room and storage space. See myself driving this car for many many years. Update: 16K miles now and averaging 53mpg in the cool and wet weather. Car is quick of the line and can get to triple digits surprisingly fast. Road noise is more prominent now. No mechanical issues so far. Have had to reset the Infotainment Unit several times now but may be related to Android Auto updates. Still drives and handles very well. Hondalink app is very accurate and reliable. Remote features are excellent. Update 11/2024: 27K and going strong. No issues so far. Mpg is still close to day 1. Swapped out the stock tires due a nail to run flats. Still highly recommended car.

2023 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I replaced a 2014 Accord EX with a gas 2023 Accord EX. More leg room. More electronics. Bigger trunk. Better gas mileage. Only has a 14.5 gallon tank as opposed to the 2014 18.5 gallon tank. So I have to fuel stop more. Heated seats are nice. Sometimes get over 40 mpg. Quieter than previous Accord. I would prefer not to have a turbo but that's all the gas models offer. Same for CVT transmission as no regular transmission is offered. I had to buy weathertec floor mats. Has a timing chain so that's good. Plugs last to 100,000 miles. Radio is ok. electric seat for driver is nice. I like the center console that gives leg support. No spare tire. seems to be a good car. Igot 224,000 on my last accord and then it was hit and wrecked.
Different but not better than the previous version

On papers this one is more powerful than the previous generation....I own the 2021 and want to update only for the annoying and distracting mode buttons replaced by a stick on the 2023....fortunately I tested it before decide. I feel my 2021 is quicker and more powerful....I dont know how they measured the HP and Torque....This variant with two motors could be more fuel eficient but compromised pick up and acceleration also you hear more motor rev noise when pucking up....so if you value more the image go ahead but if you love perfomance get the 2020, 2021, cheaper and better...
Grows on you

Things I like: Great styling, good and simple infotainment system, moonroof standard(?) in the EX, spacious. The paint (I have the white) is beautiful, pearlescent. I'm getting 40 mpg on the highway over the first 300 miles. Excellent handling and traction. Myriad unexpected safety goodies (lane-keep assist; set following interval / adaptive cruise control; collision mitigation braking system; advanced air bag system including knee airbags; etc.) Good sound system. The appearance under the hood is remarkable -- it's organized and extremely clean, a bit of an engineering miracle in itself. Good warranty. And, I very much like the Honda Service Pass (complimentary factory-scheduled maintenance over the first 24k miles / two years). Things I don't like: Acceleration noise--both the amount of noise and the type of noise; it sounds like a smaller engine struggling a bit to get up to speed. Road noise. I had a 2008 Accord, and the seats were far more comfortable, more cushioned, and the fabric was softer, more plush. On balance, I really like the Accord. I had one as a much younger man (and before that a Civic), and with this purchase I'm going back to the Accord as my everyday drive.
