Before buying this car, you need to put into perspective what size the engine is and what your realistic expectations are for that car. (I've had 8,6 and 4 cyl. cars) Then think about the tires, if you get 19" tires you have less sidewall/absorption and you will feel more bumps on the road. Now for my review...This sedan handles very well for a mid-size car and I'm talking about suspension over bumps, cracks, pot-holes, crowned roads, steering, cornering, stopping, turning radius etc. For 185hp, it accelerates beautifully when merging and changing lanes. The transmission doesn't kick, skip, hesitate etc. when I'm slowing, coming to a complete stop, or accelerating like the 2015 Chrystler 200 that I rented. That was scary as I am sensitive to odd engine/transmission noises. The seats are ok and I haven't driven the car over 800 miles so I can't make a fair assessment but I can say that the lumbar support is my favorite in a driver's seat. WOW, the led fog lights really light up the road, love em. When I opened the door, the first thing I noticed was the trim, its very classy and pleasing to me. Then the leather trim with fabric seats was a good decision that makes us EX owners feel good about having some leather ;). I had leather before and I liked that I could clean it easily. It has plenty of room for elbows and arms, which is important and the back passenger can have comfort as well. Another thing I coveted were rear vents, and when I sat in my new car that was an awesome surprise! Bluetooth sound is clear, no "huh, what did you say?" in my convos while I drive. The Carplay is an excellent idea because you don't need to wonder about who texted you or where your phone is. Does that make sense? Oh and the lanewatch, I really like that idea, sometimes there's too much going on and I forget to re-re check, so its a nice plus. I'm still exploring the car and so far I'm enjoying it day by day. The radio has good sound and I'm glad I have the tweeters, which I noticed were not in the Sport or LX. I gotta hear my BPM.

Honda sensing is awesome!

Hi all,I am sharing my car buying experience with all , hope it will be helpful to those who are thinking of buying a new car. I live in California.Car purchased on December 28, 2015 : 2016 Honda Accord EX with Honda Sensing, White Exterior MSRP on this car was $28115 and dealer invoice cast was $25777 Price paid $24000+ DMV and Sales Tax = Total OTD -Out the Door $26302.15 I don't have excellent credit, but I was able to get %2.2 for 72 months from a credit union. My experience sharing with potential car buyers:Online research helped me a lot to select the car I wanted and to get the right price. I read many forums. I am trying to return favor to online community through this comment.I was doing online research for long time almost for 4 weeks. First up all I wanted to buy a 2-3 year old used car to save myself from big hit of depreciation cost which happens mainly in first 2 years, but then I wasn't able to find a car with all recent safety features. So finally I made my mind to get Honda Accord with Honda Sensing Features. I found these features are very cool and I am amazed to know how useful they are just after driving about 250 miles. I didn't wanna spend another few thousand dollars to get Touring or EX-L trim, I found EX with Honda Sensing is 'Value for Money ' package. Before settling on Accord I test drove many cars which were in my budget. On Truecar.com best target price was $24554. My target was to get a deal better than that. I read and experienced all dealership's strategies, marketing tactics. In beginning , I visited neighborhood dealerships tried negotiations, but was worthless. Dealers makes most of the money by selling you financing through them, by selling extended warranty , GAP insurance and selling(forcefully selling) accessories. I have seen dealers charge anywhere from $500 to $1000 just for aftermarket alarm security system. After you buy car you can get this system fitted in your cars for way less money. They try to sell you wax polish packages, now a days factory paintings is so state of the art, I personally dont think it is important, at least not at expensive price from dealerships. Their GAP insurance is always very expensive, I got one through my Auto insurance provider for $15 per 6 month. Anyways if you still want few useful genuine Honda (factory) accessories, you can always buy them later from any dealerships at discounted prices later, look for coupons on their websites under specials. Or just send emails to parts departments get quotations, ask for discount, and compare quotes. Most of the dealerships want you to invite you to store instead of giving you upfront quotation by using their marketing tactics , please don't fall to their tricks , be a strong buyer, your goal should be save your hard earned money. They try to focus on monthly payment, instead you should tell them I am focusing only on sales price nothing else, do your monthly car payment calculations on google. My advise to potential buyers:When I decided I want to buy 2016 Accord EX with HS , what I did is went on autotrader.com, cars.com and carsdirect.com entered the car, trim level and color I am looking for. I searched for 200 miles radius around my residential zip code. I found as many as apx. 50+ cars were in stock at different dealerships in Orange, San Diego , LA , San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Then I sent emails/messages to all these dealers through cars.com and asked them about my target price. I started getting email replies to my inbox within few hours. Few dealerships sent me there internet pricing with there terms and condition in smallest fond size. I went and visited one of the dealership which is about 40 miles away from home, found out they were playing games, when I went there they told me they did a mistake and accidentally quoted me different car, then finally agreed to honor the quote of $23500 but at condition to finance through them (Honda Financing) at ridiculously higher Interest rate, obviously I walked out of the dealership. Then I came home and emailed these dealerships who had this particular car in stock, about written quote with OTD pricing on it, clearly told them I will not buy any extras. I got 3-4 competitive quotes around $26300 OTD (~$24000+ tax and dmv) pricing in writing. So on Monday 12/28/2015 I drove into one of the dealership who gave me $24000+ tax and Dmv quote. Car had 2 miles on it, test drove it for 1 mile. Saw sticker had $995 alarm system added on it, told clearly to salesman that I am not gonna buy any extras. He said he will not change his words and there will be no surprises. Went inside after test drive. He printed the numbers on paper. The price he presented was exactly same as we agreed through email conversation. I signed the papers and option contract paid my down-payment through card. I reached at dealership at 7 pm and I was out with my brand new car at 8 pm.

Love thecar...but it is noisy above 55 mph.

By Jerry Rowan written on 03-24-2016

Test drive the Accord at speeds above 55 mph to be certain you can live with the noise. Other wise it is a good car. I am tall and on the fat side and find it comfortable. Two months now with the car and in mixed driving it is getting just over 30 mpg. The floor mats are crap, they wear through in months. There are actually on line blogs complaining about how rappy the floor matts are.
