2024 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Would be perfect with more power…
Purchased the Accord Touring Hybrid due to 162 mile round trip daily commute. This car is extremely smooth and comfortable and provides a great atmosphere for my 2.5-3hr commute with amazing sound quality, easy connect wireless Apple Car Play and very quiet ride. The car handles great on the back roads but the only area I would want more from the car is in mid-range passing power. It’s my first hybrid so I’m still getting use to the lack of throttle response at highway speeds. Overall, it’s a great car that is VERY fuel efficient which is one of the primary reasons for purchasing the car…just wish it had a little more ooomph!!!

Picked the Accord over the Camry
I spent a significant amount of time test driving the 2025 Camry (SE and XSE) and the 2024 Accord Hybrid (EX-L). Both were smooth and refined vehicles with similar features. I did not want the 19" low profile wheels of the XSE. What convinced me to purchase the Accord (EX-L) was the driver's seat. The lower cushion in the driver's seat of the Camry could not be adjusted to a flat position. Instead, the front of the bottom cushion remained tilted up slightly. In contrast, the cushion in the Accord could be adjusted to a perfectly flat, horizontal position that was more comfortable to me. Secondarily, the headrest in the Camry (still) is positioned too far forward, making it less comfortable than the Accord headrest. I purchased the car in 6/24. Locating one in my desired color, red, proved difficult as there were only three available within NY State. I have 3000 miles on the car today. PROS: Smooth, quiet, effortless power from a refined system. Bright, clear 12'' infotainment touchscreen. Great gas mileage: 50 mpg combined calculated mathematically (the trip computer mistakenly indicated 52.5 mpg). Larger trunk than in the Camry. CONS: No spare tire (but a 17" spare can be placed in the vehicle. It cost me $500 for all the necessary parts). No Sirius XM app (although the service can be streamed, changing channels takes multiple steps). Front passenger seat lacks a height adjustment. All three features are included in the Camry. I would have scored the Accord 5 stars had the car included the above three features. I never could get used to the wide-mouthed front grill of the Camry. I now have nearly 10K miles on the vehicle. The car still drives smoothly but I've learned the gas mileage varies considerably. In everyday warm weather driving, the car achieves 50+ mpg. But, on trips at highway speed, the mpg drops to nearly 40 mpg with the A/C operating. Nowhere near the 44 mpg advertised. Another disappointment is the alleged free oil change and tire rotation prior to 2years/24K miles. According to one Florida Honda dealer, the service is free only if the "maintenance minder" indicator is displayed. If you request the service before the indicator is displayed, as I did, you pay for the service out of pocket. For me, waiting until the "oil life" reaches 15% seems too long. Some infotainment issues occurred when I was driving on an extended trip. First, the Android Auto map on the screen suddenly went blank (black). I had to turn the car off and on a few times to reset the screen. Second, as I was driving the car, suddenly the dashboard displayed brake malfunction, low tire pressure, steering problem, etc. Again, I pulled over and needed to turn the car off and on to reset the malfunction messages to resume driving. No further problems of that nature have recurred. Finally, on two occasions, the infotainment system lost the pairing of my phone. I had to use the "factory reset" to enable the phone to re-pair to the system. An inconvenience as the factory reset loses all my other preferences (radio stations, auto door lock, etc.).

it's a whole new Accord
Gone are the days of the boring, anonymous Accord that you couldn't even find in your own driveway. My 2024 EX-L is sharp looking, so comfortable, front and back. It's beautifully quiet and the handling is superb. Loving the extended mileage and looking forward to the gas savings on that. One negative for us is that SiriusXM is not availableon the Accord. Other than that we are so happy with our purchase.
Jolting Good Time
I own a 2024 Accord EX-L Hybrid. Overall, it's a good car, but there are some negatives. Other reviews have noted that the front passenger seat is low. Agreed, it is. Gas mileage is mixed. On long trips at highway speeds (i.e., 75ish mpg), my gas mileage is around 39 to 42 mpg. Around town driving is much better and I can get from the high 40s in to the mid-60s on particular trips. The road noise is impressive - ly bad. Lots of road noise although the car is smooth particularly around town. One thing to note is that it takes road imperfections badly. A break in the pavement will cause a jolt into the cabin. Test drive it over uneven or imperfect road surfaces, and at highway speeds to make sure you are okay with it. One last item. The HVAC system has a really annoying and loud noise when it shifts between recirc and free flowing air. Not just a little noise, but a whining, long, multi-tone noise that continues for several seconds. Honda disclaims this is a problem but its a problem. You should listen for it when you test drive your car. Got to believe is a faulty valve or part of some sort and Honda needs to recall and fix. So, lots to like about the Accord but it is not quite as refined and quiet as the car reviews lead you to believe.
