The phones are pretty much identical with the only real difference being their size. However, if you bought the 2.0T Accord, it's like getting a bit more memory and processing speed in the phone. still does everything the 1.5T does, but faster.

      .. yes the 2.0 is that but with much less battery than the “12 mini”. I get 40mpg per tank on my 1.5 Accord, which over the course of 200k miles, has averaging $3.20, will save me 4 grand over a car averaging 32mpg. Things people don’t consider when looking at different cars. It all adds up. Might as well add the difference to the asking price of the car.

    My father came home one day with the 5th Generation Honda Accord. It was beyond sleek and stylish in shiney jet black, black tinted windows, black leather interior and killer stereo system. Everyone called it the Batmobile.
    It was a huge surprise because my father, bless him in heaven, was a die hard all American man, Chevy only. But when he got ragged for buying a Japanese car, he said he didn't care, he saw a beautiful car and that changed his mind. Plus they are actually made in the US and great for employees, so it wasn't a complete sin.
    I loved that car. The driving was a cloud on wheels. I just don't feel the 2021 Accord looks cool enough. But it's still a standard nice looking.

      Depends. Audi’s are typically underrated slightly from the factory. I’d think it’d be a matter of the AWD launching better, but could it overcome the weight. The BMW base engines are really weak in the past, but they also slightly underrate their engines and the new base motor rates higher than A4’s and Accords 2.0T. Though, they are all definitely within the same ballpark.

    If I were in the city, I'd save a bundle and get the Civic. Living in the bright end of nowhere, I would need the extra cargo space of the Accord... and as good as CVTs are getting, I'd prefer a manual for the Civic and a conventional auto for the Accord. No hate on CVTs, they just aren't "there" yet.
    And that was the slowest and most glacial start to a drag race I have ever seen. Fantastic. :)

    • @ApothecaryTerry

      I don't feel like a CVT suits the character of these cars. In the right car though, they're absolutely "there" I think...it's just there are very few cars that make them work. Fast and wafty is ideal in my opinion.
      Only car with a good CVT I've driven is a GS450h, enough power that the engine drone issue is irrelevant (since you're speeding before it maxes the revs) and it's also stupidly effective- that car is somehow quicker past 60mph than my 981CS with only 20hp more while weighing an extra 520kg and having a touch more drag. Admittedly that car has some crazy dual stage planetary setup which means it's basically lossless while a belt CVT is very lossy, but the gearbox does cost about as much as a whole Civic...

      I'm an anti auto, and anti CVT guy.
      But the CVT in my GF's Accord seems to be great. No fake shifting (even if it does have the paddles, which are funny), just a constant drone in the right RPM for whatever speed you are going. For a person like her, who isn't a car person, I think it performs perfect.

      @@JoshuaTootell I spent most of my life treating cars and trucks like tools before I discovered a love for them. They were just a means to an end. Now, I care about the how and why of vehicles, and see the personal value that a purely practical approach doesn't have. A vehicle with a CVT can be fine, it depends what you need out of the vehicle, though.
      I was raised with 4 on the floor and 3 on the tree, didn't get an automatic until my 4th vehicle, so I "get" shifting. I also understand ease of use, and keeping things uncomplicated. That's why I don't understand adding fake shifts to a CVT. Why artificially hobble the drivetrain if you don't have to?
      If you like driving stick over auto or anything else, you are free to decide for yourself. Just please remember that other people have other needs to fill, so there is no use shaming someone just for getting what they need. Too many guys do that, but you seem to already not follow that trend and let people be. Good on ya for that.

      Yes, I am anti auto for my own personal use. I am also anti other people telling me what my preference should be. You can argue all you want the merits of something, and be right, but that doesn't change a personal preference. You can tell someone that the color black is uncomfortable to wear in the summer because it absorbs more heat, but you can't tell someone who prefers the color black that they are wrong for liking it. That is the manual transmission for me. I love being in control of the vehicle, I don't care if it is slower, or less convenient (though that is debatable), I just like it.
      Nothing wrong with my GF (or anyone else) driving a CVT. Doesn't even have anything to do with her "being a girl", she just has other hobbies. And I do find that the older one in her Honda actually does a good job. Whether or not it does a better job than a dual clutch or torque converter auto doesn't matter to me as I don't want either of those 😋
      Sadly for me, I am temporarily stuck with an auto. My van is an auto, no manual option and I built it to live in (former ambulance). And my manual transmission car was totaled when I was rear ended and I'm not prepared to spend the money to replace it. I'm weighing getting a Miata, BRZ, or motorcycle. All manuals 😁

    Dear Throttle House, please can your dashing duo do a compare of a fully loaded Honda Accord 2.0T against the latest Audi A4, BMW 2.0T and/or Merc C300 models? I always hear car reviewers talk about how an Accord is all the quick and comfort I need for daily life, but how would it fare against these two luxury daily drivers?
