Hey guys, thanks for landing here and I hope you all enjoy this video. Please let me know how can I improve as I continue on the journey of bringing car reviews. Thanks again and I appreciate all of you!
I thought it looked ok when it came out but after getting used to it I seriously appreciate whoever designed this car. There isn't too much going on and its a simple sleek design that will age pretty well IMO. I feel like people just like to hate on any car once they come out and then praise it for how great it was years later, never made sense to me.
Great review and congrats on the car! The Accord hybrid has been on the top of my list of cars I’m wanting to get and this review highlighted many of the features I loved about it. I look forward to future videos from this channel👍🏼
Great video! As an accord, lover, and Honda fanboy myself, I appreciate your very personal perspective on this vehicle. Great to hear all the details of your ownership experience. Would love any updates on that ownership experience in the months ahead! I’ll be subscribing.
I think the drawbacks and issues with this accord is quite minor. When you drive it daily and use the interior and utilize all the practical space, this is an amazing car to drive. Love the car and great video! Hopefully you start making more on this accord 👌
Absolutely! And oh don’t you worry I plan on making a video on everything I hate or love or am neutral about haha. I appreciate your watching and writing!!
@@Ben-vy1ob it would’ve been much cheaper fs but man I’ve never liked model 3’s on the inside. For my liking it’s just too minimal looking. Plus I travel to Canada from Chicago a lot and I didn’t want to make a 6 hr long trip 8 hours cause of charging stops.
Congrats. This car looks a lot better in person. More presence in person vs online. And I like how this new design is more luxurious rather than sporty relative to the previous generation.
How in the world is this more luxurious? The 2016 Accord is more luxurious than this 2023 crap. It is an understatement to say this is not as sporty as the outgoing model. If it were truly luxurious I would not mind the lack of sportiness, but this new design is just plain vanilla. The interior is cheap to the extreme. I would take a brand new 2015 to 2022 Accord any day over this. I have been driving Accords for 30 years and I had two in my driveway as late as January this year. I wanted to change the oldest model for the new Accord, but I just couldn't do it. This new model had nothing I wanted...could not even get a tan interior which is the best color to make your car look more upscale. All my Accords have had tan interior. This offers no such option. So instead of buying a car I could get fully loaded for $40 to $45 grand, I paid $70,000 for the Acura MDX...that is how much i dislike this new Accord. At least the MDX offered me a non-hearse interior color. I got Parchment interior. The one thing I agree with this video is that Accords are damn reliable vehicles and that's why I have driven them for 30 years. I have always had two vehicles, and the only constant is the Accord...there has always been at least one in my driveway. I strongly feel that the reason Honda went so vanilla on the Accord is that it has become increasingly tough for consumers to justify buying an Acura sedan over the Accord. The Accord was taking sales away with its sporty look and upscale interior. Now it's just a dud. I still currently have a 2015 Accord in the driveway, with its beige interior, right turn signal and V6 engine....none of that is available on the new generation. So i am holding on to it. OK I am done with my therapy session. Thanks for listening to my rant.😊😊
I recently got the chance to drive an EX-L Hybrid and it was amazing!! The car felt very smooth and luxurious lol. I loved it, and coming from a 2022 Civic Touring it wasn’t too different! The only thing I didn’t like, which is honestly just a preference, is that it was a bigger car. I prefer having a smaller more compact car and if I’m being honest the Civic also grew in size and feels pretty big for me. I only hope they bring the Hybrid Civic soon!! But it’s an amazing car and looks beautiful!
I bought a 2023 EX-L last March and love the car. It drives like a knife through butter. I agree with some of the cons about dropped features with then generation: fog lights, homelink, 240 w stereo vs. 180, driver's seat rear pocket. etc.. I think the EX-L comes close enough to the Touring to recommend it for the highest gas mileage of any Accord Hybrid (46/51), rear vents and USB ports. I haven't had a chance to listen to the stereo on the Touring, and maybe that's good, because I would love a high-end sound system in my car and immediately want the Touring. Thanks for the great review. I look forward to more as you continue driving your new Touring.
Thanks for watching Tom! I agree ex-L does come the closest to the touring with most of the options. Yes a bummer indeed they stripped some of the useful options in the current gen. But, overall I can see we both love our cars! And Bose sound system is amazing! Haha
Great review! I think it would be nice to have a segment where you give your impressions of the car while driving - e.g., discuss handling, road noise, etc. while behind the wheel?
Coming from the 2023-2024 Honda Accord competition. I owned a 2023 Toyota Camry LE. This Honda Accord is an beautiful car. I love how you added your touch to the car. I hope that this Honda Accord will last you another 8+ years.
Congrats on your new car, thorough review. I was able to get a 2024 Hybrid Sport in Urban Grey....love it! I also saw that on the sunroof, does look faulty, the headliner looks like not fully attached or tucked🤷🏾♀️ & not a fan of lane assist as of right now
Congratulations to you too on the purchase! Solid Choice and sport trim is of course one of the most popular trims. I absolutely love the wheel design on that trim! I don’t like lane assist either haha
Just the model and color the Honda dealer offered me today. I prefer the silver color, but after watching this, may consider. Thank you for a great review.
Nice. I hope you enjoy it for years. And don't listen to the negative comments. People just like to hate for the sake of it. The important thing is that your happy with it. I bought a 2024 manual Integra a couple of months ago, but considered this car. I checked an Accord out at a delership and I was really impressed with it. Very nice interiors and overall very high build quality. I didn't buy it because I really wanted a sweet Honda manual in a smaller car.
Hey! Thanks for watching and encouraging! And yes, I know made a great decision because nothing beats the reliability that Honda and Toyota brings along with their easy low on pocket maintenance. People can say whatever they like haha. Everyone is entitled to their opinions 😉. Also, congratulations on your integra! It’s def a fun thing packed in small body!
I have a 2023 Accord Hybrid Touring in black and I absolutely love everything about this car. The ride is so smooth and quiet, super comfortable and Im only going to the gas station once a month. I prefer the looks of this new generation as a more mature look rather than the previous generation. Great job Honda 👏🏻
Congratulations! Also, I will say that when I saw the black touring I was like damn this is hitting good! Haha. Def a beautiful color on this generation! And haha damn your drive must be short then cause I typically do once every 2 weeks I’d say
Thank you and congratulations on yours! The white with black combination goes perfectly! I've had many Honda Civics in the past but this is my first Accord and I think this is the best looking Accord yet! Haha yea I work from home so I stay locally most of the time. I'm really happy with this car, I would say it is literally the perfect daily everyday car!
@@peruvianheat2053 this is my 3rd accord and I absolutely love them as my daily! I go into the office 2-3 days a week downtown Chicago so the hybrid with the ride comfort and nice simple but enough tech in the interior makes me happy too!!
Honestly to me this looks better than many sports cars. Also the Honda Pilot new model also has great looks its on par with Explorer in regards with SUV exterior looks. Not as futuristic as many other brands but its a refined 2000s look, love it
Do you have the Honda part numbers for the blackout accessories you put on? Also does the trunk spoiler need to be drilled or is it just attached with double sided tape? Looking at these Touring now and love the way that yours looks, thanks for the help!
Hey! So, I don't have the part number but I can list the exact product for ya so you can ask the dealer. 1. Black Emblem, RR-H Mark & Accord 2. Decklid Spoiler-Black 3. Door Mirror Covers( this will also give you the air inlets as gloss black on the front bumper) 4. Mudflaps I had my tints, ceramic coating, and the chrome deletion on window sills from a private automotive shop but the above stuff is from factory. I hope this helps!!
Just bought my very own last night too in Black!! What a beautiful car!! Congratulations!! Side note: I agree!! Honda should do better with that wireless charger. It always disconnects and essentially doesn’t end up working!
Congratulations! Black color does look very good on this generation because it blends the front grill so well!! You’ll enjoy it. And yep just order some cables off Amazon for your phone haha
@Cartalks100 I went with the White as well. As weird as it sounds, the only color I like the newer generation Accords is white. I wouldn't have went with any other color. My previous car was all black. I have ceramic Tint all over
Currently having an hugely dificult time picking cars atm. But if you had the choice which car would you pick 2023 ES 300h or this Touring? Im currently on the market for an car that has good noise isolation from the highway but I'm not sure if its worth getting an lexus or this is good enough. There is a little bit of a premium in terms of insurance getting an "luxury" vehicle. Also great content btw!
Hey! Thank you for the compliment!honestly, They’re both good cars for what they offer. I’ll give you a few pointers based on my knowledge and hopefully that can help a little more in your decision making. 1. Honda vs Lexus isn’t necessarily a neck to neck comparison. One is luxury from the base and the other is edging into luxury but still universally mainstream. 2. Cost up front will be give or take $10-$12k difference once everything adds up. 3. New accords (11th gen) driving dynamics are massively improved, cars are quieter, smoother, better shocks, acoustic glassing etc but Lexus offers that as well. 4. Accords are not midsize anymore tbh cause being ~200 inches long it’s a boat practically so you and passengers get loads of room. ES300h would still be slightly bigger and wider tho. 5. Accord touring has all the technology a common man needs imo in 2023 for a lesser price tag. If ES300h isn’t fully updated on the interior and the latest Lexus technology yet like the NX then your Accord touring’s tech stack would be better and more advanced 6. Now comes the brand satisfaction because are both reputable and reliable however one brings more prestige simply because you can say to yourself I drive a Lexus vs I drive a Honda depending on if you’re the kind of person that cares about the social status. Please lmk what you end up deciding cause I’m very curious now and I hope this helps a little!!
Good vid… you’re doing well and getting the hang of presenting content. However I have two small corrections about your info… 1. The touring and hybrid badges are in fact available from Honda in black.. they’re about $50 each… I’m about to order all three. 2. The EV button is an action button as well… if you press and hold for a few seconds it puts the car in battery charge mode to fire the engine to top the battery off and or diagnose an engine issue that the motor has to be running to figure out.
Appreciate you correcting me on it! Thank you! And haha I did realize that about the EV button yesterday and was planning on covering in the next video with a few more things and I’ll be sure to mention you:) also, I’m gonna ask Honda for the other 2 badges cause back in June they told me no and didn’t even appear in accessory add on list. Again, I absolutely love your feedback!!
1 to 1 brotha! Your comment made me smile bro! But I also respect those that hate this generation or accords in general for whatever reason haha. Its all a perspective after all.
I agree and also the engine choice. The TLX was just too wide of a car for me plus the tech stack is slightly different in the TLX(a little busy inside imo). It’s a give n take, basically. I hope you go with the A-Spec model tho at least haha. It’s def a bold sexy car!
Honestly bro because they’re still fairly new in the market, you’d be better off waiting until mid 2024 for a better deal on used cause rn they’re very close to almost brand new. I have 3000 miles on mine and the other day I asked Honda to appraise it for me and he offered me $35,700 and brand new Msrp is $39k
The absence of Homelink is one of my biggest gripes with this generation. I didn't even notice it at the dealership until I brought mine hime. THANKFULLY, Honda just announced you can now integrate MyQ with HondaLink, and for those that have a wifi-enabled garage door, this more or less solves that problem. I'm also a little disappointed that they didn't do the ambient lighting in the door handle levers like the previous gerneration, and am really surprised there is no ambient lighting other than the moon light over the cupholders. Not a deal-breaker, but seems like they would have carried that over, especially since they offer those things in international markets.
There’s lots of things I feel got missed too if we think of what Hondas had. For me the biggest was not having the Lane watch camera that my 2016 had and then took it away from 2018-onwards. But overall, I definitely enjoy my 2023 over the 2016 if I were to say the least. But my whole thing with the app is like man I don’t wanna pull out my phone, open an app and then open my garage door😂. Homelink from factory on the rear view mirror could’ve just came from factory haha.
You can get the Homelink rear view mirror as a dealer installed option for around $300. There are videos on the installation - you can DIY and save on labor costs.
I appreciate your kind words but there’s def lots of work I gotta do haha. So please keep watching and supporting and providing good and bad feedback!!🙏🏽
A great review, currently in a 21 honda accord sport 2.0, im curious for the price were you looking into other brands? Im stuck between the 24 touring or the v6 camry..dont like the black trim on bottom of accord it looks cheap and cheesy in person. Im leaning towards camry so far which gets more power for same price with better engine, transmission and life of car will be longer than the accord. What mpg are you currently getting?
Hey, thanks a lot! And Nope after I cancelled my BMW 330i booking 2 weeks before delivery. I just went in and booked the accord again haha. The bottom trim on lower trims does look plastic but if it’s gloss then it’s not bad looking honestly especially on tourings. I’m at 7500 miles with my car now have driven in snow rain and sunshine, all grime comes off with my hand washing and it’s shiny again. V6 Camry are ~100 more hp clocking in around 301hp and I love the looks of the current XSE V6 Camry’s a lot, super muscular and sexy! However I’m not a fan of the dated tech of it especially the gauge cluster and the infotainment which practically wasn’t giving me anything better than my previous 9th gen accord. I spend more time inside the car than outside of it so I wanted a better upgraded tech stack over just the sexy design on my daily. A combination of both would’ve been perfect but hey it’s cool I’m happy! Haha. What do you currently drive? That can help you in deciding. Both from reliability and longevity standpoint are neck to neck, regular maintenance required, both have same safety features, similar cabin space, great daily drivers, long history of holding good resale value too. Engine and Power wise V6 XSE Camry is the winner simply because 1. It’s an 8 speed automatic so no CVT 2. It’s an AWD (if that’s important to you) 3. It’s 301hp vs the Hybrid Accord @ 204hp Your fuel efficiency will be day and night different simply because I don’t this it’s fair to compare a NA V6 to a hybrid but since you asked I average around 46mpg when combined on Sport and Econ mode and average around 51-53mpg if on normal mode and driving like a human and not an animal but I’m usually an animal with always driving in sport mode haha. As far as life of the accord being a hybrid is concerned, that shouldn’t be the worry unless off the bat you’re planning to keep the car for 20 years haha. You already have 8 years of battery warranty from Honda. I didn’t think too deep on that simply because I don’t wanna keep any car for more than 6 years max. I hope I was able to help a little. If you’re leaning mire towards the Camry, I say you should buy the XSE V6 Camry!! It’s a beautiful car and def good power for what it is in a daily driver and of course it’s backed by the Toyota’s badge of reliability and longevity! Pick a really nice color if you’re buying a brand new one!! Some deep colors and black contrasts make that car pop really well! Even a pearl white with black inserts is a good choice! Good Luck!!!
@Cartalks100 Thx for the reply. I have a 21 accord sport 2.0 10 speed. I seen the 24 accord and I like the Touring black. I've heard the seats are more comfortable now. Overall it's a real nice car. I definitely would take better mpg over hp being that I get 24mpg in my 21 accord 2.0. If I end up getting thw accord it's cause of this video. Thx for sharing your car.
@@AG-yv8yb haha I’m glad I was able to help somehow but yeah don’t get it if your heart isn’t in it! Haha. Update me though with whatever you end up going with. Why are you getting rid of your 2.0T btw?
@Cartalks100 well wife had a 23 camry xse awd. Really don't want 2 camrys..I'm a honda guy. This is my 3rd honda accord. Car is almost paid off so I could grab a touring or v6 and wouldn't have to finance alot. Going Tuesday to see accord.
The difference between Sport-L and bright trim is the main hesitation i have with the Touring. Where did you have the window trim done? I didn't know you could order the black air inlet on the lower trim.
I was in the same dilemma! But then I decided to have profession grade vinyl be wrapped on the window sills. I got my tints, window blackout, ceramic coating at DPS Automotive in Arlington Heights, Illinois. And you get vents on all trims( matte for all models) and gloss silver for touring but if you add the side mirror accessory of black inserts it’ll give you gloss vents too. I hope this helps! Also, do lmk what trim level you use end up going with? Also, sport-L gives you blacked out wheels with silver calipers haha so you might have to black those out too. It was too prominent for me so I would’ve blacked em out.
I hate that every day too haha. But if that’s like one of the only things you’re ruling it out for. I’d suggest to bargain with the dealer and get the accessory installed for a discounted price. It’s available as a dealer accessory
They dropped the ball with this accord the 2018-22 are the most best looking accord i ever seen. i wasnt even in the market for a car i am looking at 4runner 2025 or 2024 toyota tacoma. my dad has a accord 2022 touring hybrid i wish they made an AWD accord if they did i would've bought it from jump. also how come your accord doesnt have the drive nutural park push buttons its a shifter?
yeah it was a lot of work, about a weekends worth. paid 1500$ for the kit , and sold my stock mirrors, so it ended up being 300$. well worth it if you need to fold and unfold often to fit in a small garage. and it just looks cool when it auto-folds when you lock your car, or when it auto unfolds when you touch the handle. and no it wont affect warranty for the rest of your components, but if these mirrors break in the future, you would be out of luck because the seller in taiwan does not offer a warranty. the warranty for the rest of the car is still unaffected though.@@Cartalks100
this car gets a lot of complements compared to my old 10th gen. 10th gen owners keep hating on this car since they are stuck with their "sporty" family car
The biggest miss with the Touring and EX-L trims is that the black interiors do not get a black headliner like the Sport and Sport L. It gives the interior Econo-Box vibes in my opinion. I am particular about that kind of stuff.
You’re right! But I’ve never had black interior before so I didn’t even think of that until you mentioned it haha. I’ve always had beige or gray interiors:/ Now I can’t stop thinking about this😂
@@Cartalks100 For some reason, alot of Japanese automakers do it. I have a Ford Taurus currently, and the headliner matches. Makes the car look much better in my opinion.
@@evanlandry9503 oh I agree with you! I think it makes it look more seamless like single tone especially if everything under the roof is all jet black. But the only positive I found is that with the lighter headliner it feels open and airy despite the all black interior.
I would like to know your opinion, I have heard that in the harsh winter and the cold car does not respond properly, I liked the video, which is appreciated.
Hey, thanks for watching! 1. My guess is very few people tested this generation in winter as the car itself was launched end of January 2023. 2. now that more people who have tested/drove it from Feb-April of 2023 plus those of us that will test it this winter will have more data to go off of. That being said, I’d be sure to update if the responsiveness changes as we enter winters here in Chicago! ❄️
I can’t believe Honda removed the courtesy lights on the 11th gen accord 😒🤦🏼♂️I think I will keep my 10th gen until a refresh of the 11th gen or wait for the 12th gen accord.
I have the 2024 touring. Very smooth ride. The seats however are terribly uncomfortable for me. I’m actually sore from it. Can only hope it will settle in a month or so or I’ll add a low profile cushion for the longer trips. My 2014 accord seats are very comfortable even on 8-10 hr trips. Baffling.
Honestly bro the rims I have love and hate relationship with. I tried blacking them out virtually and it looked super dark and you wouldn’t be able to see the design so I was like I’ll leave it 2 tone
Solid car, definitely one of the best among daily driver sedans. Clean and competent design. I drove it, performance is not bad at all. Would have liked more details on the toilet paper roll otherwise great thorough review man!
Bro trust me it looks obnoxious in the video but it isn’t really that noticeable in person at all otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the delivery cause I had once denied on my initial color that can in 3 weeks earlier than this one!
Oh I wish! They stopped back in 9th gen from what I recall. 9th gen was also the last gen to have accord coupes. I did read as a rumor that accord coupe might make a debut in 2025 again 😂😂🤷🏽♂️
I was considering getting a 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid until I did a close examination of the features that are important to me convinced me that it would be un-wise. The worst thing i found is that the car has no spare tire, no place to put a spare tire, and No amount of money will make this available. Other features that I have on my 2015 Chrysler 200 that are missing and not available on the Honda are: 1. All Wheel Drive. 2. XM Radio 3. Heated steering wheel. The heated steering wheel may seem silly, but if you live in a place where it gets cold in the winter a heated steering wheel is not a luxury. A few years back I had a Caddy CTS that did not have a spare. When I pointed this out to the salesman I was told: Not to worry, it has a tire inflater can that will fix a flat in a jiffy. If everything fails, just press the Onstar button and a rescue truck will rush out and save you" Just my luck I ran over a small piece of metal in the road and it punched a hole in the sidewall. Using the Inflater resulted in shaving cream be sprayed all over me. Pressing the Onstar button for help resulted in a tow truck coming 8 hours later. the tow truck damaged the transmission in the process. I had no luck getting the tow truck to pay for transmission repairs, no luck with the new car warrantee. That was $3,000 out of my pocket for the Tranny and $550 for the tire. Now come back and tell me that not having a spare is okay. The latest news as of January 2024: Honda parts will sell you a spare tire kit for about $500. It will fit in the hole whare Honda puts an air pump and tire repair kit.
Sorry that you went thru such a horrible experience. Don’t worry I’m not gonna defend nor justify not having a spare tire lol. It’s a pain, and I agree. Though I’ve ordered a donut tire for myself to keep in the trunk. I’ll deal with the space it takes to avoid the roadside nightmare.
Hey! To my knowledge it doesn’t display individual tire pressure at our discretion. However, when the pressure is low it will display in the gauge cluster which tire has low pressure in writing. Under vehicle settings the only option you see would be to recalibrate and not pressure monitor.
I can give you another real world example. 4000 miles and 7.5 months starting March 1 = 46.3 mpg in about a 50/50 mix of city and highway. I try to keep it at 75 or lower on the highway. Econ mode. Touring model. I know the mileage will dip in the winter in the Midwest. I estimate 15-20% less as the engine will run more to keep it at normal operating temperature and to heat the cabin. The hybrid models with the smaller 17" wheel and tire package will get you another 3-4 mpg. I also use regenerative braking as much as possible and a devout cruise control user.
I drive 100 miles a day, evenly split between highway and city. I have the Touring, and see 45-47mpg consistently. I drive in Individual mode with sport handling but econ power. I use cruise control on the highway when practical. I've had a couple tanks where I've driven all city, and those times I've averaged about 50mpg. On the highway, the sweet spot seems to be about 72-73MPH. Anything faster and you'll start seeing a loss. I did an all-highway road trip from Dallas to Lubbock this last week (speed limit 75) and I drove 75-78mph. My tank average for that trip was about 39.5mpg.
You liked it? I'm happy mine has a traditional shifter cause I like to rest my palm on it lol. It's been a habit of mine because I learnt driving on a stick shift so I always need a shift knob to rest on haha.
That'll all depend on how much down you're putting and the interest rate you get. So if I tell you mine, it may not be the same for you. But if i give you the ball park its b/w +/- $550-$700
Great video and congratulations on your new Accord! I just recently bought a Acura TLX Type S black with the red leather interior. I’m coming from a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t which I still own. I wanted to get another Accord but was highly disappointed that Honda did away with the 2.0t. In my opinion that was a terrible move. They should’ve kept at least as an option. That’s what pretty much pushed me to TLX. My sport was fun to drive but at the same time gave me the daily commuter experience as well. I just feel like Honda goes through these years were they take the souls out there cars just to appease a certain demographic of buyers. Now don’t get me wrong I love the new Accord and the way it looks inside and out.
I hear ya! For me the tech stack and interior simplicity along with less buttons and no dial pads of the accord took the edge over the TLX. For some reason when I sat in the TLX it felt dated comparatively. and also the fact that TLX is just so wide lol. I already hate the length of my accord let alone dealing with the width and length combined for the TLX😅. But yes I personally would’ve preferred a 10 speed automatic but frankly when I decided I was going with an accord again, I didn’t care about it being an ecvt or not. I’m like “it’s just another accord for me” haha. I absolutely love the TLX for those that own one. You made a good choice!! You buying the TLX is the sole reason Honda stripped away things from the accord to move more TLX’s out the door🥲
you played into Honda and Acura strategy. They want previous Honda owners to move upscale by limiting sportiness and features on the Honda brand. Toyota and Lexus are also the same.
@@Ziakel Yeah I know that’s what they are doing. But either I buy it from them or go somewhere else and pay the same if not more for the same kind of quality and reliability that their brand offers. If there is one thing I learned in my 44yrs of living is you can’t win every battle brother. Sometimes you got to agree to disagree.
Hey! It can come with any of you pay $550 extra but with touring it’s standard and yes I was wrong on Alexa be she it does come in other hybrid trims but I had meant to only emphasize on Google maps built in exclusive to touring. Oh btw, Are you in Canada? Because then your sport trim may very well have blind spot monitoring standard but the US does not :)
Got a 2022 civic hatchback and had had to get something fixed. For the day, they let me use a new accord. It looks really nice outside, but the quality of the interior just isn’t there. So much plastic compared to leather, like the tech and space tho.
lol what trim you got as a loaner? My touring is actually pretty nice inside. Almost all cars regardless of the brand are mostly plastic inside and quality differs but they’re all plastic fantastic at the end of the day.
Ppl hate on this generation accord cuz it’s not fast but they don’t understand it literally does everything else well. It’s the perfect family sedan and commuter car. Great ride quality, great steering and handling, great fuel economy, a lotta space for every passenger, and a big trunk, just does what cars are suppose to do reliably
Solid! But in all honesty I hated it too when I first saw it haha. But that’s with pretty much every redesign until it grows on you as you see it more haha unless it’s mad beautiful from the get go haha. But yes, I agree with you!
I’m confused as to why the add on rear deck black spoiler is different than the rear deck spoiler that comes standard with the Sport trims. ?? Yours in this video is a little more raised and pronounced. The Sport trim ones lay more flat and is more subtle. I like the Sport trim spoiler way more than this one. Kind of annoying because this will probably be my next car and I will be adding the spoiler, as well.
Haha! Bro, I appreciate you pointing out what you don’t like cause the review isn’t about just nice things! And are you fr? Cause I thought it’s the same spoiler for all whether stock or added🤷🏽♂️. But stay tuned cause I’ll be recording some more brand new hondas this weekend for another video drop and I’ll definitely check out the sport trims but I’m like 95% sure they only make one kind but I could be wrong. So I’ll confirm for ya! And I’m glad to know you’re also a pulling a trigger on this gen accord!!
Yeah, it’s definitely different. Take a look at a Sport trim the next time you get a chance. The Sport trim one looks better IMO and looks stock. This one has more of an aftermarket look to it.
I thought it looked ok when it came out but after getting used to it I seriously appreciate whoever designed this car. There isn't too much going on and its a simple sleek design that will age pretty well IMO. I feel like people just like to hate on any car once they come out and then praise it for how great it was years later, never made sense to me.
I couldn’t agree more! Honestly, it’s our human nature and we can’t really blame anyone imo haha.
I used to not like the new accord design but I think its growing on me
Great review and congrats on the car! The Accord hybrid has been on the top of my list of cars I’m wanting to get and this review highlighted many of the features I loved about it. I look forward to future videos from this channel👍🏼
You should def test drive it and thank you for watching.
Thank you for the video! Great Job!❤
Great video! As an accord, lover, and Honda fanboy myself, I appreciate your very personal perspective on this vehicle. Great to hear all the details of your ownership experience. Would love any updates on that ownership experience in the months ahead! I’ll be subscribing.
Thank you for the support! Good to have accord fanboys unite haha. And for sure on the ownership experience ahead!
I think the drawbacks and issues with this accord is quite minor. When you drive it daily and use the interior and utilize all the practical space, this is an amazing car to drive. Love the car and great video! Hopefully you start making more on this accord 👌
Absolutely! And oh don’t you worry I plan on making a video on everything I hate or love or am neutral about haha. I appreciate your watching and writing!!
@@Ben-vy1ob it would’ve been much cheaper fs but man I’ve never liked model 3’s on the inside. For my liking it’s just too minimal looking. Plus I travel to Canada from Chicago a lot and I didn’t want to make a 6 hr long trip 8 hours cause of charging stops.
Congrats. This car looks a lot better in person. More presence in person vs online. And I like how this new design is more luxurious rather than sporty relative to the previous generation.
How in the world is this more luxurious? The 2016 Accord is more luxurious than this 2023 crap. It is an understatement to say this is not as sporty as the outgoing model. If it were truly luxurious I would not mind the lack of sportiness, but this new design is just plain vanilla. The interior is cheap to the extreme. I would take a brand new 2015 to 2022 Accord any day over this. I have been driving Accords for 30 years and I had two in my driveway as late as January this year. I wanted to change the oldest model for the new Accord, but I just couldn't do it. This new model had nothing I wanted...could not even get a tan interior which is the best color to make your car look more upscale. All my Accords have had tan interior. This offers no such option. So instead of buying a car I could get fully loaded for $40 to $45 grand, I paid $70,000 for the Acura MDX...that is how much i dislike this new Accord. At least the MDX offered me a non-hearse interior color. I got Parchment interior.
The one thing I agree with this video is that Accords are damn reliable vehicles and that's why I have driven them for 30 years. I have always had two vehicles, and the only constant is the Accord...there has always been at least one in my driveway.
I strongly feel that the reason Honda went so vanilla on the Accord is that it has become increasingly tough for consumers to justify buying an Acura sedan over the Accord. The Accord was taking sales away with its sporty look and upscale interior. Now it's just a dud. I still currently have a 2015 Accord in the driveway, with its beige interior, right turn signal and V6 engine....none of that is available on the new generation. So i am holding on to it. OK I am done with my therapy session. Thanks for listening to my rant.😊😊

Bro so sick!! Love this!!
Hey man u just poped up on my feed. Saw your video, please keep up the good work. LoveFromBangladesh :)
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽
I recently got the chance to drive an EX-L Hybrid and it was amazing!! The car felt very smooth and luxurious lol.
I loved it, and coming from a 2022 Civic Touring it wasn’t too different!
The only thing I didn’t like, which is honestly just a preference, is that it was a bigger car. I prefer having a smaller more compact car and if I’m being honest the Civic also grew in size and feels pretty big for me.
I only hope they bring the Hybrid Civic soon!!
But it’s an amazing car and looks beautiful!
Just bought this yesterday and sooo excited!
LFG!! 💪🏽What color did you pick?
@@Cartalks100 urban grey!
Looks great 🔥 simple but elegant design
Great video bud
I bought a 2023 EX-L last March and love the car. It drives like a knife through butter. I agree with some of the cons about dropped features with then generation: fog lights, homelink, 240 w stereo vs. 180, driver's seat rear pocket. etc.. I think the EX-L comes close enough to the Touring to recommend it for the highest gas mileage of any Accord Hybrid (46/51), rear vents and USB ports. I haven't had a chance to listen to the stereo on the Touring, and maybe that's good, because I would love a high-end sound system in my car and immediately want the Touring. Thanks for the great review. I look forward to more as you continue driving your new Touring.
Thanks for watching Tom! I agree ex-L does come the closest to the touring with most of the options. Yes a bummer indeed they stripped some of the useful options in the current gen. But, overall I can see we both love our cars! And Bose sound system is amazing! Haha
Nice job on the video. I like the upgrades you did. A link to the trunk Matt and the arm rest tray would be helpful. Good luck with your future videos
Hey, thank you for watching!! and sure, and below is the link to both the cargo and cabin mats.

Great review! I think it would be nice to have a segment where you give your impressions of the car while driving - e.g., discuss handling, road noise, etc. while behind the wheel?
Hey, thanks for watching and giving the feedback. I do plan on bringing a driving a POV soon. So stay tuned 🙏🏽
@@Cartalks100Hi
Great review and so down to earth! I think you will get a lot of subscribers pretty quickly. MikeS
I appreciate your kind words! Thanks a lot for the support💪🏽
I just got a 2024 hybrid sport and it’s 👌🏽👌🏽perfect
Honestly, that trim is the best bang! Congratulations!!
Coming from the 2023-2024 Honda Accord competition. I owned a 2023 Toyota Camry LE. This Honda Accord is an beautiful car. I love how you added your touch to the car. I hope that this Honda Accord will last you another 8+ years.
I have this same trim and color besides the black added accessories. Nice car
Congrats on the car bro enjoy it.
Congrats on your new car, thorough review. I was able to get a 2024 Hybrid Sport in Urban Grey....love it! I also saw that on the sunroof, does look faulty, the headliner looks like not fully attached or tucked🤷🏾♀️ & not a fan of lane assist as of right now
Congratulations to you too on the purchase! Solid Choice and sport trim is of course one of the most popular trims. I absolutely love the wheel design on that trim! I don’t like lane assist either haha
Tint looks great on this
Excellent review!
Appreciate you watching and encouraging!!🙏🏽
nice!!
Just the model and color the Honda dealer offered me today. I prefer the silver color, but after watching this, may consider. Thank you for a great review.
Silver with black and white with black both look 🔥. Whichever you choose I’m sure you’ll like it every time you walk up to it💪🏽
Nice. I hope you enjoy it for years. And don't listen to the negative comments. People just like to hate for the sake of it. The important thing is that your happy with it. I bought a 2024 manual Integra a couple of months ago, but considered this car. I checked an Accord out at a delership and I was really impressed with it. Very nice interiors and overall very high build quality. I didn't buy it because I really wanted a sweet Honda manual in a smaller car.
Hey! Thanks for watching and encouraging! And yes, I know made a great decision because nothing beats the reliability that Honda and Toyota brings along with their easy low on pocket maintenance. People can say whatever they like haha. Everyone is entitled to their opinions 😉. Also, congratulations on your integra! It’s def a fun thing packed in small body!
What a beautiful car😮
First video ever... immediately becomes his most popular video lol. That's awesome.
This car looks badass
I have the crv touring and is a freaking joy to drive. This hybrid generation is incredible. I wish they made a pilot with it.
I have a 2023 Accord Hybrid Touring in black and I absolutely love everything about this car. The ride is so smooth and quiet, super comfortable and Im only going to the gas station once a month. I prefer the looks of this new generation as a more mature look rather than the previous generation. Great job Honda 👏🏻
Congratulations! Also, I will say that when I saw the black touring I was like damn this is hitting good! Haha. Def a beautiful color on this generation! And haha damn your drive must be short then cause I typically do once every 2 weeks I’d say
Thank you and congratulations on yours! The white with black combination goes perfectly! I've had many Honda Civics in the past but this is my first Accord and I think this is the best looking Accord yet! Haha yea I work from home so I stay locally most of the time. I'm really happy with this car, I would say it is literally the perfect daily everyday car!
@@peruvianheat2053 this is my 3rd accord and I absolutely love them as my daily! I go into the office 2-3 days a week downtown Chicago so the hybrid with the ride comfort and nice simple but enough tech in the interior makes me happy too!!
Honestly to me this looks better than many sports cars. Also the Honda Pilot new model also has great looks its on par with Explorer in regards with SUV exterior looks. Not as futuristic as many other brands but its a refined 2000s look, love it
I appreciate your outlook!! And I agree, I feel like the new pilot kinda is inspired by the Durango imo which is a good thing!
I Love your window tinted
Thank you!!
Do you have the Honda part numbers for the blackout accessories you put on? Also does the trunk spoiler need to be drilled or is it just attached with double sided tape? Looking at these Touring now and love the way that yours looks, thanks for the help!
Hey! So, I don't have the part number but I can list the exact product for ya so you can ask the dealer.
1. Black Emblem, RR-H Mark & Accord
2. Decklid Spoiler-Black
3. Door Mirror Covers( this will also give you the air inlets as gloss black on the front bumper)
4. Mudflaps
I had my tints, ceramic coating, and the chrome deletion on window sills from a private automotive shop but the above stuff is from factory.
I hope this helps!!
do you have video or link where I can see how the region braking works?
Just bought my very own last night too in Black!! What a beautiful car!! Congratulations!!
Side note: I agree!! Honda should do better with that wireless charger. It always disconnects and essentially doesn’t end up working!
Congratulations! Black color does look very good on this generation because it blends the front grill so well!! You’ll enjoy it. And yep just order some cables off Amazon for your phone haha
Black is definitely the best color on this gen.
can you buy that rear wing from after market and install by your self?
Great VIdeo. I have a 2024 Ex also in White. Love it. If it weren't for interest rates I would have loved to get this touring model. Enjoy it
Thank you! I hope you're enjoying your EX because I think its a solid trim for its price too! What color did you go with?
@Cartalks100 I went with the White as well. As weird as it sounds, the only color I like the newer generation Accords is white. I wouldn't have went with any other color. My previous car was all black. I have ceramic Tint all over
@@romepolk8286 HA! I love how those of us that pulled a trigger on one can pin point our love and hate relationship with this generation!
Awesome i got the civic 2022 touring it’s an amazing car no problems so far 😫
Congrats! You won’t have any problems in the future either haha! Solid choice!
...& yes woulda also liked to have power folding mirrors
does it have USB? I still have a device that needs usb. and is there reason why you put the floor matts inside the trunk?
Currently having an hugely dificult time picking cars atm. But if you had the choice which car would you pick 2023 ES 300h or this Touring? Im currently on the market for an car that has good noise isolation from the highway but I'm not sure if its worth getting an lexus or this is good enough. There is a little bit of a premium in terms of insurance getting an "luxury" vehicle. Also great content btw!
Hey! Thank you for the compliment!honestly, They’re both good cars for what they offer. I’ll give you a few pointers based on my knowledge and hopefully that can help a little more in your decision making.
1. Honda vs Lexus isn’t necessarily a neck to neck comparison. One is luxury from the base and the other is edging into luxury but still universally mainstream.
2. Cost up front will be give or take
$10-$12k difference once everything adds up.
3. New accords (11th gen) driving dynamics are massively improved, cars are quieter, smoother, better shocks, acoustic glassing etc but Lexus offers that as well.
4. Accords are not midsize anymore tbh cause being ~200 inches long it’s a boat practically so you and passengers get loads of room. ES300h would still be slightly bigger and wider tho.
5. Accord touring has all the technology a common man needs imo in 2023 for a lesser price tag. If ES300h isn’t fully updated on the interior and the latest Lexus technology yet like the NX then your Accord touring’s tech stack would be better and more advanced
6. Now comes the brand satisfaction because are both reputable and reliable however one brings more prestige simply because you can say to yourself I drive a Lexus vs I drive a Honda depending on if you’re the kind of person that cares about the social status.
Please lmk what you end up deciding cause I’m very curious now and I hope this helps a little!!
How is the Bose and does it have a sub and if so, where is it placed?
Good vid… you’re doing well and getting the hang of presenting content. However I have two small corrections about your info… 1. The touring and hybrid badges are in fact available from Honda in black.. they’re about $50 each… I’m about to order all three. 2. The EV button is an action button as well… if you press and hold for a few seconds it puts the car in battery charge mode to fire the engine to top the battery off and or diagnose an engine issue that the motor has to be running to figure out.
Appreciate you correcting me on it! Thank you! And haha I did realize that about the EV button yesterday and was planning on covering in the next video with a few more things and I’ll be sure to mention you:) also, I’m gonna ask Honda for the other 2 badges cause back in June they told me no and didn’t even appear in accessory add on list.
Again, I absolutely love your feedback!!
What do you drive on the weekends? Since you say this is daily? I assume Monday - Friday.
i think its one of the best looking cars on the road. All the new Honda bodystyles look great from the past 2-3 years.
1 to 1 brotha! Your comment made me smile bro! But I also respect those that hate this generation or accords in general for whatever reason haha. Its all a perspective after all.
Not having power folding mirrors, ambient lighting as a premium option pushes me to Acura and I think that was intended.
I agree and also the engine choice. The TLX was just too wide of a car for me plus the tech stack is slightly different in the TLX(a little busy inside imo). It’s a give n take, basically. I hope you go with the A-Spec model tho at least haha. It’s def a bold sexy car!
how much for used bro if we will buy a 2nd hand 2023 accord how much cheaper than brand new one? btw really good video thx.
Honestly bro because they’re still fairly new in the market, you’d be better off waiting until mid 2024 for a better deal on used cause rn they’re very close to almost brand new. I have 3000 miles on mine and the other day I asked Honda to appraise it for me and he offered me $35,700 and brand new Msrp is $39k
The absence of Homelink is one of my biggest gripes with this generation. I didn't even notice it at the dealership until I brought mine hime. THANKFULLY, Honda just announced you can now integrate MyQ with HondaLink, and for those that have a wifi-enabled garage door, this more or less solves that problem. I'm also a little disappointed that they didn't do the ambient lighting in the door handle levers like the previous gerneration, and am really surprised there is no ambient lighting other than the moon light over the cupholders. Not a deal-breaker, but seems like they would have carried that over, especially since they offer those things in international markets.
There’s lots of things I feel got missed too if we think of what Hondas had. For me the biggest was not having the Lane watch camera that my 2016 had and then took it away from 2018-onwards. But overall, I definitely enjoy my 2023 over the 2016 if I were to say the least. But my whole thing with the app is like man I don’t wanna pull out my phone, open an app and then open my garage door😂. Homelink from factory on the rear view mirror could’ve just came from factory haha.
You can get the Homelink rear view mirror as a dealer installed option for around $300. There are videos on the installation - you can DIY and save on labor costs.
yep, it was gonna cost me $450 with the labor so I opted out of it.
@marksimonds13 yeah I shouldn't have to opt into that basically-standard feature on their top model. My 22 had it built-in to the mirror.
@@DL1011 I most def agree! cause my 2016 had it built in and it was the ex. I was bummed too but then i'm like ok whatever haha.
You’re a great car reviewer👍🏻
I appreciate your kind words but there’s def lots of work I gotta do haha. So please keep watching and supporting and providing good and bad feedback!!🙏🏽
A great review, currently in a 21 honda accord sport 2.0, im curious for the price were you looking into other brands? Im stuck between the 24 touring or the v6 camry..dont like the black trim on bottom of accord it looks cheap and cheesy in person. Im leaning towards camry so far which gets more power for same price with better engine, transmission and life of car will be longer than the accord. What mpg are you currently getting?
Hey, thanks a lot! And Nope after I cancelled my BMW 330i booking 2 weeks before delivery. I just went in and booked the accord again haha. The bottom trim on lower trims does look plastic but if it’s gloss then it’s not bad looking honestly especially on tourings. I’m at 7500 miles with my car now have driven in snow rain and sunshine, all grime comes off with my hand washing and it’s shiny again.
V6 Camry are ~100 more hp clocking in around 301hp and I love the looks of the current XSE V6 Camry’s a lot, super muscular and sexy! However I’m not a fan of the dated tech of it especially the gauge cluster and the infotainment which practically wasn’t giving me anything better than my previous 9th gen accord. I spend more time inside the car than outside of it so I wanted a better upgraded tech stack over just the sexy design on my daily. A combination of both would’ve been perfect but hey it’s cool I’m happy! Haha.
What do you currently drive? That can help you in deciding. Both from reliability and longevity standpoint are neck to neck, regular maintenance required, both have same safety features, similar cabin space, great daily drivers, long history of holding good resale value too.
Engine and Power wise V6 XSE Camry is the winner simply because
1. It’s an 8 speed automatic so no CVT
2. It’s an AWD (if that’s important to you)
3. It’s 301hp vs the Hybrid Accord @ 204hp
Your fuel efficiency will be day and night different simply because I don’t this it’s fair to compare a NA V6 to a hybrid but since you asked I average around 46mpg when combined on Sport and Econ mode and average around 51-53mpg if on normal mode and driving like a human and not an animal but I’m usually an animal with always driving in sport mode haha.
As far as life of the accord being a hybrid is concerned, that shouldn’t be the worry unless off the bat you’re planning to keep the car for 20 years haha. You already have 8 years of battery warranty from Honda. I didn’t think too deep on that simply because I don’t wanna keep any car for more than 6 years max.
I hope I was able to help a little. If you’re leaning mire towards the Camry, I say you should buy the XSE V6 Camry!! It’s a beautiful car and def good power for what it is in a daily driver and of course it’s backed by the Toyota’s badge of reliability and longevity! Pick a really nice color if you’re buying a brand new one!! Some deep colors and black contrasts make that car pop really well! Even a pearl white with black inserts is a good choice!
Good Luck!!!
@Cartalks100 Thx for the reply. I have a 21 accord sport 2.0 10 speed. I seen the 24 accord and I like the Touring black. I've heard the seats are more comfortable now. Overall it's a real nice car. I definitely would take better mpg over hp being that I get 24mpg in my 21 accord 2.0. If I end up getting thw accord it's cause of this video. Thx for sharing your car.
@@AG-yv8yb haha I’m glad I was able to help somehow but yeah don’t get it if your heart isn’t in it! Haha. Update me though with whatever you end up going with. Why are you getting rid of your 2.0T btw?
@Cartalks100 well wife had a 23 camry xse awd. Really don't want 2 camrys..I'm a honda guy. This is my 3rd honda accord. Car is almost paid off so I could grab a touring or v6 and wouldn't have to finance alot. Going Tuesday to see accord.
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU TINTED WINDOWS SEALING ? THANKS
Like the chrome around the windows? I had it done at the same shop as my tints haha. I didn’t do it myself myself
The difference between Sport-L and bright trim is the main hesitation i have with the Touring. Where did you have the window trim done? I didn't know you could order the black air inlet on the lower trim.
I was in the same dilemma! But then I decided to have profession grade vinyl be wrapped on the window sills. I got my tints, window blackout, ceramic coating at DPS Automotive in Arlington Heights, Illinois. And you get vents on all trims( matte for all models) and gloss silver for touring but if you add the side mirror accessory of black inserts it’ll give you gloss vents too. I hope this helps! Also, do lmk what trim level you use end up going with? Also, sport-L gives you blacked out wheels with silver calipers haha so you might have to black those out too. It was too prominent for me so I would’ve blacked em out.
this car is fucking beautiful
Haha love how you’re seeing it!!💙 some days I love it and some days I just wanna look past the exterior and just sit inside😂
Everytime when I see this car on the road it catches my eyes!
For the right or the wrong reasons?😂😂
White looks the best by far
you got the storm trooper
I was looking at the touring because of the features but hate they took away the homelink garage door opener
I hate that every day too haha. But if that’s like one of the only things you’re ruling it out for. I’d suggest to bargain with the dealer and get the accessory installed for a discounted price. It’s available as a dealer accessory
Nice Taurus you got there
I love it too🥳
I didn't like these at all when they first came out but then saw a black one on the road and it looked very sleek.
Those floor matts standard??? OMG THIER SO NICE!
Haha nope I bought em off Amazon!
They dropped the ball with this accord the 2018-22 are the most best looking accord i ever seen. i wasnt even in the market for a car i am looking at 4runner 2025 or 2024 toyota tacoma. my dad has a accord 2022 touring hybrid i wish they made an AWD accord if they did i would've bought it from jump. also how come your accord doesnt have the drive nutural park push buttons its a shifter?
btw, you can retrofit power folding mirrors using parts shipped from overseas.
So much work though and I wonder if it’s gonna void any of the factory warranty?
yeah it was a lot of work, about a weekends worth. paid 1500$ for the kit , and sold my stock mirrors, so it ended up being 300$. well worth it if you need to fold and unfold often to fit in a small garage. and it just looks cool when it auto-folds when you lock your car, or when it auto unfolds when you touch the handle. and no it wont affect warranty for the rest of your components, but if these mirrors break in the future, you would be out of luck because the seller in taiwan does not offer a warranty. the warranty for the rest of the car is still unaffected though.@@Cartalks100
👍👍
this car gets a lot of complements compared to my old 10th gen. 10th gen owners keep hating on this car since they are stuck with their "sporty" family car
The biggest miss with the Touring and EX-L trims is that the black interiors do not get a black headliner like the Sport and Sport L. It gives the interior Econo-Box vibes in my opinion. I am particular about that kind of stuff.
You’re right! But I’ve never had black interior before so I didn’t even think of that until you mentioned it haha. I’ve always had beige or gray interiors:/
Now I can’t stop thinking about this😂
@@Cartalks100 For some reason, alot of Japanese automakers do it. I have a Ford Taurus currently, and the headliner matches. Makes the car look much better in my opinion.
@@evanlandry9503 oh I agree with you! I think it makes it look more seamless like single tone especially if everything under the roof is all jet black. But the only positive I found is that with the lighter headliner it feels open and airy despite the all black interior.
Waiting on 24 refresh one
Hey! 2024 has no refresh, 2023 and 2024 are identical. They are available at all Honda dealers now.
Another thing I wanted to add, please add one of those wooly, silky mics. It will help with the wind noise :)
Haha Sir, I got that mic now haha. If you watch my latest videos the quality has gotten better haha.
I would like to know your opinion, I have heard that in the harsh winter and the cold car does not respond properly, I liked the video, which is appreciated.
Hey, thanks for watching! 1. My guess is very few people tested this generation in winter as the car itself was launched end of January 2023. 2. now that more people who have tested/drove it from Feb-April of 2023 plus those of us that will test it this winter will have more data to go off of. That being said, I’d be sure to update if the responsiveness changes as we enter winters here in Chicago! ❄️
Im just gonna stick to the touring sport hatchback but i wish it came with power folding mirrors and ventilation seats as well😅
I wish this had power folding mirrors too 😢
I can’t believe Honda removed the courtesy lights on the 11th gen accord 😒🤦🏼♂️I think I will keep my 10th gen until a refresh of the 11th gen or wait for the 12th gen accord.
“Twice or thrice at most” 16:06😂😂😂
😂
very nice car, im conceidering to import one of those to europe beacouse thay dont offer them in hier
I have the 2024 touring. Very smooth ride. The seats however are terribly uncomfortable for me. I’m actually sore from it. Can only hope it will settle in a month or so or I’ll add a low profile cushion for the longer trips. My 2014 accord seats are very comfortable even on 8-10 hr trips. Baffling.
I feel like these are just wide for no reason tbh. I wish they were a little more huggy
For some reason the rims bug me that they are not all black. Interior is ok, and like you said it reminds me of my Civic Touring.
Honestly bro the rims I have love and hate relationship with. I tried blacking them out virtually and it looked super dark and you wouldn’t be able to see the design so I was like I’ll leave it 2 tone
honestly.. just modify the front bumper and this thing is a beast!
You gotta show me a sample so I know what are you thinking haha
On the same boat here, currently driving a 16 accord sport. Should I upgrade now or wait until 2025 for the prelude? 🤔
wait to see how you like the prelude. How many miles on your current accord now?
@@Cartalks100 77,500
Solid car, definitely one of the best among daily driver sedans. Clean and competent design. I drove it, performance is not bad at all. Would have liked more details on the toilet paper roll otherwise great thorough review man!
Haha, I’ll be sure to cover more on the TP in a future video. Thank you for watching!!
What brand of tint and % did you go with?
Lumar CTX Ceramic Tint 20% all around and a visor on the windshield
That hood gap uniformity makes Tesla build quality look decent
Bro trust me it looks obnoxious in the video but it isn’t really that noticeable in person at all otherwise I wouldn’t have taken the delivery cause I had once denied on my initial color that can in 3 weeks earlier than this one!
Real Honda fans noticed the license plate 😊
❤
I love the front looks mean but not to much going on
Is Honda still making manual accords?
Oh I wish! They stopped back in 9th gen from what I recall. 9th gen was also the last gen to have accord coupes. I did read as a rumor that accord coupe might make a debut in 2025 again 😂😂🤷🏽♂️
I was considering getting a 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid until I did a close examination of the features that are important to me convinced me that it would be un-wise. The worst thing i found is that the car has no spare tire, no place to put a spare tire, and No amount of money will make this available. Other features that I have on my 2015 Chrysler 200 that are missing and not available on the Honda are: 1. All Wheel Drive. 2. XM Radio 3. Heated steering wheel. The heated steering wheel may seem silly, but if you live in a place where it gets cold in the winter a heated steering wheel is not a luxury. A few years back I had a Caddy CTS that did not have a spare. When I pointed this out to the salesman I was told: Not to worry, it has a tire inflater can that will fix a flat in a jiffy. If everything fails, just press the Onstar button and a rescue truck will rush out and save you" Just my luck I ran over a small piece of metal in the road and it punched a hole in the sidewall. Using the Inflater resulted in shaving cream be sprayed all over me. Pressing the Onstar button for help resulted in a tow truck coming 8 hours later. the tow truck damaged the transmission in the process. I had no luck getting the tow truck to pay for transmission repairs, no luck with the new car warrantee. That was $3,000 out of my pocket for the Tranny and $550 for the tire. Now come back and tell me that not having a spare is okay. The latest news as of January 2024: Honda parts will sell you a spare tire kit for about $500. It will fit in the hole whare Honda puts an air pump and tire repair kit.
Sorry that you went thru such a horrible experience. Don’t worry I’m not gonna defend nor justify not having a spare tire lol. It’s a pain, and I agree.
Though I’ve ordered a donut tire for myself to keep in the trunk. I’ll deal with the space it takes to avoid the roadside nightmare.
How to check Tire Pressure in the car?
Hey! To my knowledge it doesn’t display individual tire pressure at our discretion. However, when the pressure is low it will display in the gauge cluster which tire has low pressure in writing. Under vehicle settings the only option you see would be to recalibrate and not pressure monitor.
Not sure if i missed it or not but, what kind of real world gas mileage are you getting? Thank you!
Hey, thanks for watching!
34-36mpg on sport mode
46-49mpg on normal mode
50-53.5mpg on Econ mode(bumper to bumper traffic)
@@Cartalks100 Thank you
I can give you another real world example. 4000 miles and 7.5 months starting March 1 = 46.3 mpg in about a 50/50 mix of city and highway. I try to keep it at 75 or lower on the highway. Econ mode. Touring model. I know the mileage will dip in the winter in the Midwest. I estimate 15-20% less as the engine will run more to keep it at normal operating temperature and to heat the cabin. The hybrid models with the smaller 17" wheel and tire package will get you another 3-4 mpg. I also use regenerative braking as much as possible and a devout cruise control user.
I drive 100 miles a day, evenly split between highway and city. I have the Touring, and see 45-47mpg consistently. I drive in Individual mode with sport handling but econ power. I use cruise control on the highway when practical. I've had a couple tanks where I've driven all city, and those times I've averaged about 50mpg. On the highway, the sweet spot seems to be about 72-73MPH. Anything faster and you'll start seeing a loss. I did an all-highway road trip from Dallas to Lubbock this last week (speed limit 75) and I drove 75-78mph. My tank average for that trip was about 39.5mpg.
i dont know why honda get rid of those shift buttons for the hybrid touring.
You liked it? I'm happy mine has a traditional shifter cause I like to rest my palm on it lol. It's been a habit of mine because I learnt driving on a stick shift so I always need a shift knob to rest on haha.
You can't go wrong with honda or toyota
What's the monthly payments for this?
That'll all depend on how much down you're putting and the interest rate you get. So if I tell you mine, it may not be the same for you. But if i give you the ball park its b/w +/- $550-$700
Congratulations l purchase a Spanking Brand new 2023 Honda Accord Ex Platinum Pearl white With All black interior on May 30th
Great video and congratulations on your new Accord! I just recently bought a Acura TLX Type S black with the red leather interior. I’m coming from a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t which I still own. I wanted to get another Accord but was highly disappointed that Honda did away with the 2.0t. In my opinion that was a terrible move. They should’ve kept at least as an option. That’s what pretty much pushed me to TLX. My sport was fun to drive but at the same time gave me the daily commuter experience as well. I just feel like Honda goes through these years were they take the souls out there cars just to appease a certain demographic of buyers. Now don’t get me wrong I love the new Accord and the way it looks inside and out.
I hear ya! For me the tech stack and interior simplicity along with less buttons and no dial pads of the accord took the edge over the TLX. For some reason when I sat in the TLX it felt dated comparatively. and also the fact that TLX is just so wide lol. I already hate the length of my accord let alone dealing with the width and length combined for the TLX😅. But yes I personally would’ve preferred a 10 speed automatic but frankly when I decided I was going with an accord again, I didn’t care about it being an ecvt or not. I’m like “it’s just another accord for me” haha.
I absolutely love the TLX for those that own one. You made a good choice!! You buying the TLX is the sole reason Honda stripped away things from the accord to move more TLX’s out the door🥲
How’s the tlx? Tuned it or done anything?
you played into Honda and Acura strategy. They want previous Honda owners to move upscale by limiting sportiness and features on the Honda brand. Toyota and Lexus are also the same.
@@Ziakel Yeah I know that’s what they are doing. But either I buy it from them or go somewhere else and pay the same if not more for the same kind of quality and reliability that their brand offers. If there is one thing I learned in my 44yrs of living is you can’t win every battle brother. Sometimes you got to agree to disagree.
You got a couple things wrong.
Blind spot monitor comes with sport hybrid also Alexa as well.
Hey! It can come with any of you pay $550 extra but with touring it’s standard and yes I was wrong on Alexa be she it does come in other hybrid trims but I had meant to only emphasize on Google maps built in exclusive to touring. Oh btw, Are you in Canada? Because then your sport trim may very well have blind spot monitoring standard but the US does not :)
Yea u buy it to be cool what u think that’s what it’s for to be sporty
Got a 2022 civic hatchback and had had to get something fixed. For the day, they let me use a new accord. It looks really nice outside, but the quality of the interior just isn’t there. So much plastic compared to leather, like the tech and space tho.
lol what trim you got as a loaner? My touring is actually pretty nice inside. Almost all cars regardless of the brand are mostly plastic inside and quality differs but they’re all plastic fantastic at the end of the day.
Ppl hate on this generation accord cuz it’s not fast but they don’t understand it literally does everything else well. It’s the perfect family sedan and commuter car. Great ride quality, great steering and handling, great fuel economy, a lotta space for every passenger, and a big trunk, just does what cars are suppose to do reliably
Solid! But in all honesty I hated it too when I first saw it haha. But that’s with pretty much every redesign until it grows on you as you see it more haha unless it’s mad beautiful from the get go haha. But yes, I agree with you!
im waiting for facelift sonata 2024
I’m confused as to why the add on rear deck black spoiler is different than the rear deck spoiler that comes standard with the Sport trims. ?? Yours in this video is a little more raised and pronounced. The Sport trim ones lay more flat and is more subtle. I like the Sport trim spoiler way more than this one. Kind of annoying because this will probably be my next car and I will be adding the spoiler, as well.
Not taking a shot, btw. Your car still looks great. I’m looking forward to getting basically the same thing when the time comes.
Haha! Bro, I appreciate you pointing out what you don’t like cause the review isn’t about just nice things! And are you fr? Cause I thought it’s the same spoiler for all whether stock or added🤷🏽♂️. But stay tuned cause I’ll be recording some more brand new hondas this weekend for another video drop and I’ll definitely check out the sport trims but I’m like 95% sure they only make one kind but I could be wrong. So I’ll confirm for ya!
And I’m glad to know you’re also a pulling a trigger on this gen accord!!
Yeah, it’s definitely different. Take a look at a Sport trim the next time you get a chance. The Sport trim one looks better IMO and looks stock. This one has more of an aftermarket look to it.
Def gonna look Saturday and get back to you haha. But hey if we want the touring and the spoiler; we gotta sacrifice somewhere😂
You were right! i checked and its the not the same haha. Also, I too like the ones on sport and sport L more than the one on mine haha. but oh well :/
in Saudi Arabia the praise is $46,933 after tax for the same model
Wow, that’s basically the same as here. What extra features do you get over there? I’d love to know. Also, thank you so much for watching from KSA!
