Attractive clean design, quality compromised
I traded in my 2020 Accord go the new 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport. It drives even better than the previous generation, and the powertrain is very powerful. Unfortunately, Honda has cut lots of corners to build these, and they didn’t even try to hide it. First off, there are a lot of new features that come standard (including the generous safety suite), however, they came at a cost. HD Radio and Satelite radio are no longer included. Also, there aren’t any heated mirrors, which is a very important safety feature. The quality of fit and finish in the interior is highly questionable. For example, the Sports models no longer come with sport seats. They used to include a combination of leatherette and cloth for the seats. The rear seats no longer have separate headrests. The lighting also has some issues. You need extra effort in order to push those light buttons, otherwise they won’t stay on. When the lights are on, they get so bright that they obscure the occupants vision. Second, unlike the front doors which close solid and are hefty in terms of weight, the rear door interior panels are completely made out of cheap plastic. As if the rear occupants don’t deserve a comfortable ride. The rear doors are much less solid and lighter. Whenever they’re closed shut, you can hear the sound of hallow metal and the mechanisms inside the doors rattle. Third, only the highest end model include rear AC vents. I wasn’t very fortunate with my vehicle. There are several noises coming out of the engine bay. The noise from the inverter is highly noticeable. You can also hear several components in the engine compartment move around as if the engine mount or struts were worn out.

Haven’t even got my first oil change!
Car drives/feels great and has everything you need but I’ve been having major issues recently. The car will say keyless access problem and when I try to start the car is it says power system failure, brake system problem, electric power steering problem, and literally every other warning light comes on the dash. This has happened to me 5 times been to the dealer and they said oh we had to do a system reset and we are waiting on Honda to release a new system update. Yesterday morning the same thing happened and the dealer said “oh it was the corrosion protectors on the battery that cause the cables to not be tight enough causing low voltage which is why all the codes went off. Well here I am the next morning waiting on the tow truck with the same problem!!! This makes me feel cheated and upset because I bought this car brand new in June of 2023. Everyday since I’ve been having this problem I have to worry about if my car is going to work smh. I haven’t even got my first oil change yet.

Solid but lacks some options
I love the Accord EX even though I had my heart set on a hybrid but difficult to find and $5,000 more than the EX.The handling, MPG ( 34 combined city/highway driving); safety features galore and looks are all outstanding. I was disappointed that leather seats not an option unless purchasing hybrid; no wirelss charging or XM/Siriius, no universal garage opener- Honda definitely forcing buyers into purchasing a hybrid. Passengers sitting in the front seat have no capabilities of raising the car seat, thus legitimate complaints about sitting on the ground! I had 300,000 miles on my 2009 Hionda Accord but had more options than the new one purchased.. Plus expect to pay MSRP with no negotiating and could not even get the all weather mats included in the deal- ended up paying $200 for these. Still quite happy with all of the car's features but ...

Accord still on top of sedan segment
I have owned Accords from the 8th, 9th, 10th, and now 11th generation. With each generation the Accord has improved ride quality and technology to be my favorite Honda model. I bought a 2023 EX-L in order to do short and long term reviews on its performance that I will share with you before you buy or to assist you as you configure your Accord to your taste. Stylewise, I agree that the front end is a bit bland compared to the 10th gen, but I still like the front grille. I don't see a Taurus like some people, but more of a classic Accord. It's far better than the styles of the Accord from 2007 with parallelogram taillights or the jelly bean Taurus look of 2010. Some upfront Pros and Cons from my point of view Pros - EX-L is the model to buy if you can afford a hybrid trim. The 17 inch wheels have low wind noise on the road and deliver the best MPG for the whole lineup. Touring is overpriced, and Sport models lack rear AC vents and connectivity. - Performance is fantastic for a hybrid. I don't miss the 2.0 since I was not into the Accord for speed or high performance. I'm more of a nerd that gets more joy from high gas mileage - Seats are more comfortable than previous gen. Have yet to test on long road trip, but feel they will be comfortable. - Driver's dash UI is improved. You can configure both sides of the driver's info display to show current music input, powerflow, maintenance, trip odometer, miles to empty, etc. that is first rate. You can configure the look and feel of the dash interface mores than the last generation. - Build quality is first rate. No squeaks, rattles, or noises that don't belong (so far). Cons - The tech/info display has a learning curve much steeper than previous generations. Car reviewers have largely skipped discussing actual setup of the UI for user preference. There are two default profiles, owner and guest, as well as the ability to create named profiles that are matched to specific drivers. I'm finding it takes much longer to mate with my iPhone when starting the car. Sometimes it's 30 -45 seconds, others I have to manually tell it to connect to the car and enable Apple Play again. This should be a simple, one-time setup, but is wasting time getting it configured to connect automatically, quickly with every drive. - content services are now totally based on your phone apps that port to Apple Play or Android Auto. There is no longer built-in support Sirius XM. For any music, audio book, or maps app, you need to subscribe via your phone and use the app's Android or Apple interface to use. You can still get an XM 3-month trial, but you will need to negotiate that with Sirius XM directly. Sirius UI in Apple Play is inferior to previous built in app because you can't save station presets or have as much control over channel and category (at least, not that I have found). - Built in subscription based apps of HondaLink, Alexa and ATT Wifi hotspot are the only apps built into the tech interface. ATT Wifi can be acquired for $20 month after 3-month trial. I will probably not keep it active, but testing built-in wifi to see if it helps. I have experienced some degradation when phone loses wifi and tries to revert to cell data and back again to wifi. - Blind Spot Indicator (BSI) is not standard on every trim that it should be standard on. The supplier of the mirror-based sensors cannot keep up with Honda's production demand so many Sport, Sport-L's, EX-Ls and EX's don't have BSI sensors. You will have to ask about each specific car you test drive or order to know if it has BSI or not. No LX's have BSI. This shortage also affects CR-Vs. - Return to column shifter. Most people seem to prefer the stick shifter over the flat buttons. but I disagree. The column shifter gets in the way of your phone and cup holders. The push button design was easy to get used to and more functional. This return to a shifter is purely a visceral change to please the people that like to grab something. - placement of power button. This generation the Power button has been jammed in tight next to the steering column and the dash. I find it harder and less intuitive to reach. Why was it moved to such an awkward location? Still on first tank of gas and getting 39.8 mpg. I expect this to go up as weather warms up and a fresh tank restarts the mpg calculation. Update: Just took a road trip of 229 miles each way and got 48 mpg on mostly highway miles. Can't complain about that MPG! There were a lot of potholes in Ohio and Kentucky that haven't been patched so wear and tear on the tires/suspension could be a factor as those hard impacts add up. I'll also say the many people who drive huge pickups and SUVs that think speed limits are just guidelines while zigzagging through traffic make every road trip feel like a Mad Max movie. The Accord held it's own, but I don't want any run-ins with vehicles literally twice its size. Overall, I'm still very happy with the new Accord despite the Cons I've listed above. It drives like a dream and is built rock solid. Update June 2023: average mpg in summer weather is 50.5. Mileage actually seems better in Normal mode than Econ. Can't explain that one but try it for yourself. On USB as a music source, you can copy m4a (AAC) or .mp3 to folders on a USB thumb drive with Type C connector. Playback is flaky at first as the radio needs to scan through all files in a folder to read them and identify the true music files from supporting files. It will initially report 'unsupported format' until it completes the scan. Then, it will play back music files in order or random based on setting. USB sometimes stops without warning and needs to be restarted with Play button. Accord has nice Music Library view to see folder names and artists that older USB players on Honda's do not have. Overall, convenient to have music on tiny USB tailored to your taste and saves on music subscription, but can have a few kinks in the playback process. Still loving car at 2500 miles. Update December 2023: still love this car after 9 months, but the difficulty lowering myself into the driver seat is increasing. If you aren’t nimble and in shape, this car is low and awkward to enter. Once seated I love the drive, but getting in and out at age 59 is getting tougher. No wonder Honda can’t stock enough CR-Vs for its old Accord buyers. Gas mileage on EX-L still great. Winter numbers are around 38-43 mpg. Update July 2024: Just crossed over 10,000 miles in this Accord EX-L hybrid. Still loving the driving characteristics and the solid feel of the car. It's had one oil change and tire rotation so far and runs like a champ.The last two tanks of gas, I have achieved 56 mpg in summer, highway conditions! The temperature has to be just right between 60 and 85, and I don't often drive over 65, but get stellar highway mileage. Again, the myth that hybrids get better mileage in the city than highway is just not true unless you drive 75 or above on the highway.

Sport Hybrid
This is my first Accord, so I cannot compare it to previous models. Pros: 1. Excellent road performance and control. 2. There is practically no learning curve involved with the car’s features. I’ve owned many vehicles in my lifetime and I would rate this vehicle among the easiest to learn (radio/climate controls ect.) 3. The trunk is huge. 4. I really like the options given for what is displayed on the dash. Cycling through information is simple and logical. Cons: 1. A compressor is provided in lieu of a spare tire. I suppose you’re more likely to need the compressor than the tire, but it has the potential to be very inconvenient. Mixed: engine noise is almost nonexistent. However, there is road noise. Nothing I consider out of the ordinary, but I’ve read some reviews where people thought an Accord should have less road noise. I traded a Nissan Versa for the Honda Accord. The Accord has less road noise than a Versa, which is good enough for me.

Emissions system problem
Bought new, 2 weeks later on road trip (940 miles on car), car went into limp mode suddenly on highway with “emissions system problem, power compromised, see your dealer” error message. Dealership reset error codes, worked again for another 2 weeks before error recurred. Dealer again reset error codes. Apparently, Honda is aware of the problem and it requires a software update, or possibly a new electronic module or sensor that will now be shipped and installed, but no one really knows what the problem is or how to fix it. Very disappointed, not the reliable car I’ve come to expect from Honda.

Love the new Accord Touring!
The new Accord has everything I hoped for. The new screen and tech is amazing, the hybrid engine gives superior mileage (averaging 43 after 1700 miles) and the Google assist is just fun! As a past owner of two other Accords this is everything it has always has been, just better!

Honda Express
The 2023 Accord styling is best from the back, the front is very bland. I like the straight forwad design on the interior. The safety features were great, although mine and all others on the lot was shipped without the blind spot detection due to chip shortages. The powertrain was ho-hum, but adequete for a family hauler. I did have to search 300 miles from home to find a dealer that wasn't charging a ridiculous $2000 to $3000 upcharge for market availabilty! To me this car feels like a no frills rental car, but my spouse loves it!

PCU Radiator Leaked, Car Stalled Suddenly - Scary
I had just gotten off work and left the house and was headed to pick up some food, when I suddenly got a "Power System Problem" - Do not drive alert on my brand new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid. Immediately my car stalled out and I was left stranded in the middle of the road approaching a busy round-a-bout. (All I could think was, what if this happened on the freeway) Vehicle Electronics worked fine, but I couldn't even pull over to the side of the road. After getting it towed to dealer, I was told a rock hit my PCU radiator and I'd have to get it replaced. Also, the part is on backorder and is NOT covered by Warranty. This will likely be my first and LAST Honda I'll ever buy as I've been waiting for over a week and a half for news on when the part will arrive. Then I find out, that there is a growing number of others experiencing the same issue, thus this reeks of a potential widespread design issue on Honda's part. Up until this issue, I was thoroughly enjoying the car, the design and gas mileage. It was conformable and I enjoyed the tech features, but not being able to have a working car for who knows how long has really left a bad taste in my mouth.

This is a hybrid?!
December 7, 2024 final update, we loved having this car, it was an excellent commuter, comfortable, fuel efficient, and an excellent handsome sedan in a sea of SUVs. We unfortunately had to sell the car due to personal reasons but we will miss the convenience, comfort, good Bose stereo, and great cruiser. Would I do it all over again? A million times yes! Great car and turned this Toyota fanboy into a believer of Honda tech. First Honda ever but will not be our last. May 29, 2024 UPDATE: we continue to enjoy this car, and have even added another Honda Hybrid to our family fleet. The Acura MDX is gone, but these two hybrids continue to impress and make something mundane like commuting that much more comfortable. We constantly get above 50 miles per gallon on the highway, technology gremlins seem to have gone away, we have noticed with every iOS update the CarPlay seems to glitch and lose reception from time to time. Impressed by the smoothness of this car, relatively quick acceleration, fast cooling AC during the warmer months of the year, overall we are very pleased with our Honda Accord Hybrid! We would buy another for our teenage son! Updated: 11/28/23: this car has been awesome and has exceeded our expectations; gas mileage return has been stellar on the highway (up 50 miles per gallon) in some instances. This car is used for commuting on the highway, distances of 200+ miles or more, excellent travel companion. Occasionally, the infotainment system freezes or refuses to boot up upon turning on the car. The best thing of course is to turn everything off, open the driver door and let the system reset. The car has plenty of power for getting up to speed to merge onto the highway, minor droning of the engine going up stretches like the Grapevine (highway 5). But overall, very happy with our purchase. First time Honda Accord owner, second time owner of a Honda product. We also own an Acura MDX, and Chevrolet Silverado. Just took delivery of a 2023 Honda Accord Touring (5/11/23); and was blown away by the quick acceleration, smooth ride (even over lousy California Highways), awesome new interior design language. This car has some nicer technology compared to our family Acura MDX. So far, we have only had the car for a day, and driven only 100 miles away. The car has been a blast to drive and in what seems where every car runs on premium fuel, this car runs on regular gas! First time Honda Accord owner and first time Honda owner. Coming from more than 3 Camry’s this car has exceeded what I expected for not only an Accord but a Hybrid. The transition between gas and electric is nearly imperceptible and I have driven previous hybrids from other brands where the transition was noticeable. Very happy with the car so far, and I believe it will make an excellent travel companion.

PCU radiator
I bought a brand new 2023 Honda accord sport I drove the car for 10 days & the car ran hot on me and i took it to the Honda dealership where I purchased it from they tell me a rock popped up off the road and penetrated the plastic guard in front of my PCU radiator as well as the PCU radiator which lead to the fluid leaking out and running hot. The Honda dealer stated the warranty don’t cover external damages and that was a freak accident but when I went to the parts department the guy told me he had 3 more of the same cars sitting on the lot with the same issue. Which draws me to the conclusion there is a manufacturer issue and I shouldn’t be paying out my pocket to repair a brand new car I literally just bought something should be done to protect that PCU radiator because apparently it’s exposed
Love almost all the car!
The passenger seat height is awful. There's no way to raise it. Why can't Honda get on board and make adjustments possible on the passenger seat? I'm 5'6" and feel like a child when I sit in the passenger seat.

3 months 10K miles
First off let me say that I didn't plan on driving so much ended up moving from the Golf Coast back to Michigan. Five trips to Michigan from Biloxi I got an up close and personnel view of driving and owning car. Drive great mileage Hwy average 41.9 on trips about 35-37 around town. Not a single rattle, squeak or annoyance. I found the seats comfortable for long stretches of hwy driving. Now that driving pace has slowed I find it's a suburban dream.

Improves upon the 10th Gen Hybrid in most ways.
I have had the car for almost a week. I have commuted to work in stop and go traffic and can tell you the car is quieter, more composed over bumps, has much better technology and far superior gas mileage. In my 2018, Accord Hybrid Touring, I averaged about 40mpg commuting to work. The car was equipped with the optional 19in chrome wheels. So far I am averaging 48mpg commuting to work this week in the new car. I love the additional levels of regen along with the brake lights activating when using the paddles. I can drive with one pedal about 90 percent of the time. The downsides. The missing Homelink from the rearview mirror. I have that on order, but it should be standard. The missing Sirius/XM built in along with the free trial. No interior trunk release button. These were standard items on the 10th generation. The cost cutters added profit. Overall, I am very happy with the new car. The updates to the powertrain are fantastic. I like the looks of the new generation. I know many people are not thrilled. I do think they should have included fog lights. But obviously I can live without them. The seat comfort is increased over the previous generation. The tech is vastly improved. Since I didn't own the 2.0T version, I don't miss it. If you want a great car to drive with fantastic mileage then you will not be disappointed in the Hybrid Touring.

Slipping a bit, but still amongst the best!
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!

Love this Car
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.

6,000 miles no problems yet
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.
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.

A 50,000 dollar car for 35000. The sport L
The gas mileage is amazing. As I pulled out of the dealership with a full take of gas I saw 570 miles of gas range. Then the mpg read 23. As I drove home it steadily increased. By the time I was driving to work to mpg was 41. I could drive for two weeks between tanks of gas. The 8 speaker sound system is not a compromise. When my phone is plugged in the music sounds great. The cars quiet ride makes it easy to enjoy the music without cranking it up. Though I did do that and it still sounded great. The Honda sensing equipment works well. The blind spot monitors flash when sinus in your blind spot. If you turn on the signal to change lanes there is a chime that warns. That’s an improvement for me over the video screen approach in the 2020 civic. I’m looking forward to road-tripping this car.

Best car I ever had, so far
2023 accord touring, amazing feel, power, handling. Interior is among the nicest out there. My only complaint is the memory seat doesn't include the mirrors. But fuel economy is incredible. I drive this car normal not looking to save gas and still get 40-41 all day. Infotainment is excellent. So roomy. I can go on and on. Bose sound system is very nice, and I'm not the biggest bose fan. I've had many cars this is overall top 3.

Better fuel economy than promised
I have been driving this car for a little over a month now. Overall I’m very satisfied with the vehicle. I’ve been using it for daily commuting to work as well for a longer road trip. Driving in ECO mode I get better fuel economy than listed: 48 miles/gallon in combined highway and city driving, ever aged over this first month. Steering, handling and overall driving experience is great. The visibility from the driver’s seat is good. The infotainment screen works well (I use it with Apple CarPlay). My biggest complaint is the inability to change temperature settings to Celsius on the US manufactured model. The clicky sound of the volume button on the steering wheel is also a little annoying to me. Would also have liked if the side mirrors would bend in automatically when the car is turned off.

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...
Great vehicle dynamics but some quirks
Got this vehicle as a temporary measure before the vehicle supply crunch gets better, but the Accord hybrid touring trim continues to surprise me with great driving dynamics, wonderful in-vehicle OS (the Google automotive operating system with fully integrated Google navigation), and large interior space. The exterior design does take some time to get used to, but it grows on you. Interior design is where everyone agrees to be very good, but not the interior materials (obviously, as this is a mass-market vehicle). The acceleration is a lot faster than I expected: I believe the electric motor seems to be assisting in the acceleration, and it is plenty quick. The fuel economy is not what I expected - it does not reach 40+ mpg yet but is at a mid-30 mpg level, which for me is acceptable. Some quirks: the Chinese version of the Accord - Inspire - has 360 degree camera AVM as well as foldable side mirror features. They are not available in the US. While it is true that these features may not be needed in the US, the belt line of the Accord is high so as to impede the view around the vehicle. Therefore, AVM is I believe a must for this low-entry vehicle (I always feel like I am getting into a low-slung sports car). Also, foldable mirror feature is now widely adopted - even car washes nowadays ask the driver to fold the mirrors! Overall, this is a great car for its prices, but product planners needs to rethink about some of their assumptions of US customers.

Seats Need Improvement
A fine vehicle with decent seats, except for the front passenger. Even on the upper trim levels with power seats, t's impossible to raise the seat. This is a big problem for a short passenger for whom the seat is like sitting on the floor.
Well Engineered But Stiff Ride
The car seems to be well made, as you would expect, but the ride is too firm. Uncomfortably so. The 2020 Camry I traded-in was much more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Maybe long-time Accord owners are used to the firmer ride. I was waiting for the new Camry, the redesign, but it was pushed back to next year, so I figured I'd try something different. The test drive seemed OK, but now after about 900 miles, not liking the ride. Seats are a bit uncomfortable also (LX).

Rattling
I have a 2023 EXL and shortly after having it. The dash and vent ratlles on bumpy roads and now it's starting to do it in the passenger side door. It's very annoying for a supposly nice quality vehicle that wasn't cheap. Hyundai and kia probably are better at this point. Technicians can't find anything wrong with it or they don't care to to investigate it.

Great sporty looking car at an excellent price!
The only downside to this car is it does not have front bumper sensors (to alert you when you are pulling up close to something- like a parking curb). Other than that~ the car is very nice & gets over 30 miles to the gallon.

Perfect Family Car
I really love my accord, it’s just 3 days to come to a conclusion but I wanted to express my joy here. I really love the feel, smoothness, engine calmness, power, different drive modes, mileage, heated seats, plenty of leg room for back row seats, boot space, ac vent for back seats and lot of boot space. I really didn’t like buying at MSRP and without blindspot monitoring. EXL trim has 17 inch wheels only. Finally, it’s not matching the MPG given.

Sport L
I love it. Even though I wanted the Touring, which is almost impossible to find, but mainly I can not justify the huge markup. This for that compare to the competition I feel the numbers favor the Honda Accord as usual. Honda being the biggest manufacturer of engines in the world. They know how to build things that last. No one is budging on the MSRP. They're proud of what they're selling and they can't keep them in stock.

No more lobster claws tail lights!
This 11th generation Accord makes the last one seem very archaic. I could never warm up to the lobster claws or Pac Man tail lights. So UGLY, and used throughout the entire Honda line. This new design for Honda immediately reminded me of the fabulous looking fastback Audi A7. The Camry and Altima look nothing like it. Upgraded 190 horsepower engine from the last outing means if it ain't broke why fix it. Honeycomb grill and clicking knobs give it an upscale feel. With 20+ millions units sold since inception, this Car & Driver - 10 Best , 37 times winner is a no-brainer.

Lights up like Christmas
Purchased new June 2023. Left me stranded at work with no power steering and every single light on the dash was on. Has been in the shop since March 19 and they’re still not sure of the problem at least they gave me loaner car. And the kicker is if I trade they won’t even give me close to what I owe. So I’m stuck with a questionable car.
Beautiful car, but...
I traded in my 2020 Crv EX, and honestly miss it, I bought a Touring Hybrid Accord. The car is very nice, and love the gas mileage, but I don't know, miss my SUV, this car is a fall in climb out design. Better sitting to a younger more flexible person.

Simple car with some cute features
I like things to be simple. We now have a trend that our car's dashboard start looking like an airplane's cockpit - buttons-buttons-buttons. How crazy is it? It is just a car! Perhaps I am in minority but i do not even need that small screen. I just like to be focused on driving. The car drives and accelerates great (much better than camry). It is pretty inside and out. Wish the seats were not fabric but oh well. I like the keyless entry and locking. No need to search keys in your purse, ladies lol. Breaks work wonderful, turning, stopping, changing lanes... I am very minimalistic. The car does the basics and I am happy with it. I am hoping to keep it for many years. I bought it for its reputation of being reliable. Oh yeah, the zippy engine reminds me of a young horse who after being stuck in a barn all day went on running around like crazy, full of energy and vigor. Love it love it . ha ha

Not impressed
I owned Hondas almost all my life.m and I was really looking forward to this new redesign model. The new 2023 Accord is not what I was expecting. The car looks much better in pictures and videos than it does in real life. The back looks like a car from the 90's and the front is very basic. Nothing exiting and certainly not appealing as other competitors. The drive: First, you sit low, not sure if it needs an adjustment, but both myself and my passenger felt really low on the seat. In addition. They were uncomfortable. . Then the 1.5 turbo engine is underpowered and noisy. The road noise was high too, and the drive was honestly boring. I returned quickly to the dealer to return the vehicle as I was very disappointed. I will definitely pass on this one and wait to see the 2024 redesigned Camry. Or, simply get a Kia or a Hyundai.

2013 Ford Taurus look-alike!
If I hear one more time my car looks like a Ford Taurus from the past, I'll be sick. I guess I really didn't think through my purchase of the 2023 Accord LX. Already looking to get rid of it, and not only from the looks, but also the loud, cranky engine. Also, constantly getting system update notices with only 750 miles. Going back to the engine, it sound like an engine that's ben sitting in 10 below zero weather conditions and it's been in the 80's. It seems Honda has went away from their quality reputation and now just wants cars that are more profitable. Really disappointed in myself that I rushed into the Accord. This is just my honest assessment of the car and my purchase.
Great car so far.
Very good mpg about 45 in rual areas/town driving. 49 on interstate. Plenty of room in the cabin and plenty of power as well.

Steering Wheel lock
I loved my Honda, however after this incident I just don't feel safe. On my way home, my steering wheel locked on me and I couldn't move out of the way and hit a vehicle. My breaks system reacted but still didn't stop from making contact with other vehicle. Now if It didn't lock up ( driver decided to turn last min) i could have went around the car. However, I had NO CONTROL over the car I was driving due to sensors reacting but something faulty happened, unfortunately. I am hearing this is an issue & will soon will be a recall but until then...I just can't imagine what that might've looked like had I been on the HWY.
Not What It Used to Be
My last Accord was a 2013. It was totaled by a teenager but I sorely missed the car. Well made, good features and six cylinder. I then bought a 2023 Accord. Really lost a lot. Engine is 4 cylinder, it has the stall on stop feature which i must turn off all the time. Passenger seat is fixed and immobile, seats are some plastic mesh, the trunk reopens if you have the key in your pocket, radio is poor quality, and the side mirrors stick out like the wings on a dragon. In short the design is a disaster. This is not like any of my older cars. It clearly reflects on the new designers and their age and attitude, the customer be damned!

2023 Honda Accord EX - Rear Suspension
All the new features are great. Easy to handle, and inside noise is low compared to previous models. The seating height on the passenger seat is low, and it feels uncomfortable for some passengers. I bought a 2023 Honda Accord 3 months back and noticed a tapping noise coming from the rear suspension after the car stopped entirely on quick stops.

No garage door opener on the top model
It gets great gas mileage and I love the lane keep assist / adaptive cruise control.. The touring should have a built in garage door opener, also the sunroof should have a panoramic sunroof available as an option. I also feel the top model should have a front camera to assist with parking to prevent damage.

Honda Roadside Assistance is a FRAUD!
I have bought 25+ new Honda's for my family over the years, but never again. The customer service is no longer what it was, and the brand is no longer what it was. The Honda Roadside assistance has been outsourced to another non-Honda company, and you will not get through in an emergency. Instead you get terminal hold, and "higher than normal call volume" recordings all the time. Furthermore, when you do finally get to speak to someone, in my case they told me to wait until the morning -- Mind you it was midnight and my whole family was along the interstate broke down due to a defect item on my brand new Accord.

Classic Honda: stiff ride & TONS of road noise
Apparently Honda has doubled-down on their engineering trend of "sporty at the expense of any modicum of comfort". The ride quality is choppy, harsh, WAY overly firm. Also on the "overly firm" front: the steering. That is to say it is too heavily weighted. Because who wants the comfort and ease of casually steering a comfortable car on a long commute or road trip when instead you can exhaustingly white-knuckle grip the wheel and get a full body workout in making the many minor corrections required to keep the car straight at highway speed? Hate this car. It's exhausting to drive, uncomfortable, loud, and I'm racking up chiropractor bills over the stiff ride. I've driven many recent Hondas and the trends are all exemplified in the '23 Accord: Excellent fit and finish and build quality, good predicted reliability (but keep an eye on that 1.5L), overly firm suspension, heavy steering, and gobs of road noise.

Only thing good about it is a 45 mile to a gallon
Update codes right off the bat after buying it, riding out of the lot no way to fix it. Bought it April 5th still no update fix part of the stuff don't work. Would not buy again if they gave it to me half price. Worst car I ever bought in my 49 years a buying cars. No spare tire either.Sold it 18 months ago.

A letdown from my 2020 2.0/10 speed AT Accord
Besides being slower than my 0-60 5.4 second Accord, what's gone largely unnoticed is Honda's officially recommended 91 octane for the hybrid Accord. Nonissue for me, since this brings to an end my string of 7 consecutive high-end Accords. They made it about 1.5" too long for my garage. 91 octane takes some of the edge off the savings offered by a hybrid.

2023 accord hybrid sport L nexpectedly turned off.
Automatically turned off while passengers are still inside the car. If you want stop by at walmart while your family wants to stay in the car due to heat outside, car shut down after few mins by itself. Its very dangerous specially for the kids. My family called me about this issue, i left the cart as it is to see what happen than i restart the engine and went back to walmart, than again they called me after 15 mins for the same reason. Its terrible.

Too Bland To Inspire Accord Drivers
This should have been a great experience to purchase. After 12 years of driving Odysseys, I was ready to return to my favorite car I've owned. I walked in ready to purchase, but without NEEDING to get a new car, I needed a nudge to take the plunge. Instead, it was such a bland experience that my wife had no problem convincing me that another Odyssey (for "just a couple of years") would be a better decision for now. I greatly respect my wife's reasoning, but if the car would have been as good as it should have been, I would have overruled it and gotten the Accord (EX-L). Instead, I'm sitting on the sidelines until the 2024 Odyssey comes out, and bracing for "a couple of more years" in a minivan. The main reason was lack of power. What sold me about my first (2004) Accord was the surprising power and decent MPGs of the EX-L back then. While I appreciate MPGs more now, there's no reason why they don't have a powerful engine configuration option for their flagship sedan. I'm not looking to win races off the line, but a car of that size needs more than 200 HP to feel confident on the highway. You can floor it, and it'll get up to speed, but it feels like it's really straining. Even the Odyssey beats it on 0-60 time by 10% (!!!). The extra technology on the Accord Touring trim, which reviewers keep saying is what makes this car worth purchasing, won't really interest drivers that prefer to have warnings but not necessarily the car making distance or steering decisions, like me. That trim is very nicely laid out, but unless you really want the car to manage your driving, there's no real need, nor justification for an extra $4,000. In the end, I walked in to the dealer to buy the Accord and drive it home that day, and instead we never even discussed pricing. Now I'm looking at an outdated 2023 Odyssey, and hoping the 2024 refresh modernizes its technology (maybe adds a hybrid option), and that it comes soon. For now I'll have to shelve my dreams of a strong Honda sedan for "just a couple of years..."
