I've owned a 13 Accord for 3 months now so let me share some of my experiences. Really I find the touchscreen useful just because it provides a clean look to the dashboard.. otherwise its not much better than buttons, also it is useful to see your stations. As for the late watch camera.. it's extremely useful and convenient. it's not weird like this reviewer says, the view it gives you is the same as if you were looking at your rear view mirror, except it's symmetrical with your left side mirror
Hi Brian Cooley this is the first time I post on your videos. I have to admit they were funny and very helpful eventhough I am not trying to buy a car currently because the information you gathered on your videos give me deeper understanding about cars on the market. I will however payoff my car in a few years and search for a new car. If you still make videos like this, I'm sure I will make the best decision and never have to regret a second in my life about my car. Thank you.
i personally own the 2011 accord exl v6 and i love it and we jus recently got the 2013 accord sport trim...there is a big difference in how they feel (mainly due to engines) but also you can tell tht the new accord is less fatiguing like Cooley said and looks sharper in my opinion
I don't understand all the insults written here. I have a 2013 Honda Accord. It does its job: good hwy economy, realiable, etc. I don't particularly like the car, but I know it's a very good, solid car.
Just bought a new Accord LX the other day. Picks up quite quickly for a 4-pot. The CVT is actually livable and the handling is good so far. I've liked it a lot. Honda seems to have rebounded from the last generation.
the problem with other manufacturers are the added features. I like hondas way of introducing features into higher trim levels. When I go to mazda or nissan they always pair their base model car with navigation and charge the same or near the same price as hondas trim level with navi. With that you get a car with no leather, no auto climate control, and no alloy wheel, but you get navi. I test drove the 2013 accord 6speed and it is great. Might buy one soon.
There are two errors stated in this video. 1 that EX-L or better trim comes with Navigation. I have this exact car and it doesn't come with Navigation. That's a separate option on my trim level. And 2 that if you get the navigation trim, the center radio comes as a touch screen. I have the touchscreen and don't have navigation.
i'm in my 20s and i'd by the accord if it looked like the new mazda6, accord is not just more middle aged ppl. my first car was a 2004 honda and i still think its the best looking accord ever made
For some reason I really noticed the lost headroom in this Accord. Perhaps it's because I went from an '09 Civic and then now an '08 CR-V so my driving position is now quite upright as opposed to when I had my Civic. I found myself touching hair brushing against the headliner when I checked it out at the dealer. Aside from that, it's a great improvement over the outgoing model.
Well, the reading of texts aloud is included and probably a good idea. And the new crash avoidance systems that companies like Volvo have developed seem to be effective. According to statistics, the XC60 with that system has a 20% lower collision rate among small SUV's. But, the point still stands that all the infotainment systems that have touch screen based everything or small buttons (unlike Honda) are distracting and ergonomically stupid.
First of all, I'm glad you replied. Although I don't know your gender or your age, the definition of something that would make sense remains unchanged. If I'm not mistaken, you said that I am, "too accuracy and detail oriented to the point where you don't even have a poetic sense anymore". However, we are talking about a video where cars are being evaluated, tested and experienced to help people make the right decision. You called Brian Cooley an idiot because you know you can type anything
Ask me. I traded a 2012 camry se v6 for a Honda Sport and I love it. Camry SE has awesome power but very poor driving dynamics. Accord is agile, balanced with great MPG. Nothing beats it as a daily driver. The car has a great built. Just check the door and how they close. Reminds you of upscale German cars.
Best family sedan you can buy!! Best resale, most reliable, best visibility, most fun to drive! Not the overstyled ford fusion or hyundai sonata, not the boring camry...the accord is the benchmark
To those who say that the tail lights resemble the Genesis sedan: they are similar in that both have white reverse lights up top and red brake reflectors beneath. That's it. In real life, they do NOT look very similar.
I think Honda cars are really nice because they're easy to maintain and have no problems. I have a CR-V and the only things I had to fix is probably the paint job. I personally wish Honda made more attractive cars because even though it's basically the most reliable brand, the outside makes everyone feel like it's just another car. And since everyone has one there's no appeal to it.
Let us not forget the Kia Optima which is half Athlentic from the days of the rental company. Heard the Quality King, Kia Kit Car didn't really have a name but beat the Billy Grahm Shelby (not the Wayne Weshwreck) Mustang, and the Amanti a quality king like SUV were all coming in the future.
I personally think the Honda interior is somewhat low rent looking. I mean the font for the MPG, temperature, and climate control looks like it out of the 70s.
You don't come to CNET for car reviews, you come to CNET for car TECH reviews. They focus almost exclusively on the cabin tech and any innovations a given car brings to the car industry. Go to Edmunds or KBB for true car reviews. They are actually fantastic at it.
what do you mean we are about a year or two away from cars STARTING to drop the cd player, Chevrolet sparqs, and sonics with mylink don't have a cd player
He's comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges. A Chevy Sonic is not comparable in any way at all to an Accord. Compare to a Camry, Altima, Fusion.
He means, like what he goes on further to explain, that it looks like a stereotype of a car. which if your product resembles a stereotype isn't good as companies normally dry to differentiate their product.
You know gundam too? I didn't think somebody with "CPA lisensing" would know about gundam but anyways. I assume you saw the my videos that I uploaded. Good that you are doing your research about me and I'm flattered. Oh and by the way, gundam isn't toy, it's just a Perfect Grade model kit consists of 1000 parts which you don't have the ability to build one anyways.

Anyone watching this in late 2020?
Can the right signal camera be turnt off ?
"Earth dream", " what the hell is that mean?" Ahh m dying hahaha
4:52 "It's got the unfortunate name of earth dreams...what the hell does that mean?" LOL! this guy is the best!
It's the engine or transmission it's called Earth Dreams I forget which one.
It's the engine...I was just quoting Brian...i love his sarcasm! >)
250,000 miles on my 2000 Honda accord, still going great
sugma bawllz
Earth dreams? What the hell does that mean? I died laughing when he said that! Lolllll.this guy is toooo funny
"Earth Dreams. The hell does that mean?" Why I love Brian Cooley and his reviews!
You are my absolute FAVORITE car reviewer I have seen! Witty, clever, smart, and informative! Keep making many more reviews!

"Earth Dreams - whatever the hell *that* means." LOL I love B.Cooley! :-)
This is a great chat!!

another excellent job sir!
Got mine today, one heck of a car!
This guy is really great, To the point, clear and you want to hear to the last minute.
i personally own the 2011 accord exl v6 and i love it and we jus recently got the 2013 accord sport trim...there is a big difference in how they feel (mainly due to engines) but also you can tell tht the new accord is less fatiguing like Cooley said and looks sharper in my opinion
Enjoying our 2011 Honda Crosstour EX-L w/NAV but would like to own the new Accord! Thanks for the video!
Brian, in your opinion, how does it compare to the Altima?
Ex has the 2nd screen right? I thought only the lx has the button interface
editing issue it cuts out during brians explanation of the side mirror camera!! Please fix!
My brother had one for 7 years never had problems
I don't understand all the insults written here. I have a 2013 Honda Accord. It does its job: good hwy economy, realiable, etc. I don't particularly like the car, but I know it's a very good, solid car.
do not question Brian's judgement! he is the car GOD!
Just bought a new Accord LX the other day. Picks up quite quickly for a 4-pot. The CVT is actually livable and the handling is good so far. I've liked it a lot. Honda seems to have rebounded from the last generation.
How's the cvt holding up?
I've been waiting for this video for so long
Brian cooley is the best hands down!
"2 to 3 inches shorter-quite a bit of a difference". Umm that's barely a difference for something nearly 16' long
the problem with other manufacturers are the added features. I like hondas way of introducing features into higher trim levels. When I go to mazda or nissan they always pair their base model car with navigation and charge the same or near the same price as hondas trim level with navi.

And 2 that if you get the navigation trim, the center radio comes as a touch screen. I have the touchscreen and don't have navigation.
I'm aware. But do their lawnmowers come with Pandora integration for your iPhone?
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The EX-L did not come standard with navigation, otherwise an excellent review.
I have 215,000 on mine and it still runs strong!
Honda has a connected app interface, but only one app on said interface so far. It does quite a bit though.
Best looking Accord since the original in 1977. Three thumbs up Honda.
It has succumbed just like the 7th gen and newer Civics
i'm in my 20s and i'd by the accord if it looked like the new mazda6, accord is not just more middle aged ppl. my first car was a 2004 honda and i still think its the best looking accord ever made
stopped watching at direct injection. Thanks. Oh and major props for Lauryn Hill unplugged on the radio
there is only one side mirror camera that its located on the right side so its not disoriented at all
how much is the EXL ?
U do awesome reviews. But need to review more cars. How about a v6 coupe!
For some reason I really noticed the lost headroom in this Accord. Perhaps it's because I went from an '09 Civic and then now an '08 CR-V so my driving position is now quite upright as opposed to when I had my Civic.

I like how the coupe looks better.
This is a great car!!
What styling?????
Current Honda Accord rear designs is very similar to the a the rear design of a 1st generation Genesis sedan!

@Brian Cooley, cars won't drop FM radio as long as there are government-mandated severe weather alerts and other such things
I hope they hold off the dripping of the CD player in cars a great or two later. It is still very useful and has good sound output. :-) :-) :-)
Yep. I can hear them say "you know I wish it had a more powerful computer. We could do without the whole engine, wheels, exhaust, metal, car thing..."
What Car Would You Buy? Camaro ss by chevy, Honda Accord Or Hyundai Genesis All For Starting Around $23,000 Reply To Me And if you want tell me why
Best family sedan you can buy!! Best resale, most reliable, best visibility, most fun to drive! Not the overstyled ford fusion or hyundai sonata, not the boring camry...the accord is the benchmark
dude that's just a messed up thing to say.
Test drive one. You will be surprised. Won't miss the DSB suspension.
it is a a great car to drive, the accord sport is a true value model!
earth dreams engine is a great engine! Thats what it means!
i want accord
To those who say that the tail lights resemble the Genesis sedan: they are similar in that both have white reverse lights up top and red brake reflectors beneath. That's it. In real life, they do NOT look very similar.
the Fusion is a great option :)
this car is great

why so much hate for cd player? atleast its there, people definately use it and I dont mind it.
Lol "earth dreams...what the hell does that mean?" I died!
it will be the bestseller
Hi , It would be great if you can review VW Passat 2013.
v6?
Brian is fucking awesome! The 2013 accord is gorgeous now BUT brian u gota review the MORE gorgeous Mazda 6 pronto please! ;0
Yeah Brian Cooley!!!
Let us not forget the Kia Optima which is half Athlentic from the days of the rental company. Heard the Quality King, Kia Kit Car didn't really have a name but beat the Billy Grahm Shelby (not the Wayne Weshwreck) Mustang, and the Amanti a quality king like SUV were all coming in the future.
Maybe next time they should review the Touring model.
I personally think the Honda interior is somewhat low rent looking. I mean the font for the MPG, temperature, and climate control looks like it out of the 70s.
"Earth Dreams...What the hell does that mean?"
LMAO!
You could not have said that better.
What happened to this guy? Haven't seen him in a while.
You don't come to CNET for car reviews, you come to CNET for car TECH reviews. They focus almost exclusively on the cabin tech and any innovations a given car brings to the car industry. Go to Edmunds or KBB for true car reviews. They are actually fantastic at it.
he says that they will ditch CD, why? why don't they ditch AM radio?
what do you mean we are about a year or two away from cars STARTING to drop the cd player, Chevrolet sparqs, and sonics with mylink don't have a cd player
He's comparing apples to apples, not apples to oranges. A Chevy Sonic is not comparable in any way at all to an Accord. Compare to a Camry, Altima, Fusion.
Cnet Does everything right!
He means, like what he goes on further to explain, that it looks like a stereotype of a car. which if your product resembles a stereotype isn't good as companies normally dry to differentiate their product.
this seems to be a good car
I would prefer they put the blind spot camera on the driver side of the vehicle.
6.8 seconds to 60??? That's V 6 territory out of a 4 banger family sedan.
2014 mazda 6 looks excellent
He says "the EX-L has nav"... well, not in Canada...maybe in the USA? Nav is an option on the EX-L and standard on the Touring.
You know gundam too? I didn't think somebody with "CPA lisensing" would know about gundam but anyways. I assume you saw the my videos that I uploaded. Good that you are doing your research about me and I'm flattered. Oh and by the way, gundam isn't toy, it's just a Perfect Grade model kit consists of 1000 parts which you don't have the ability to build one anyways.
we are also missing cable tv
Dude, he already did the review for you
You can read email on screen but can't call wt...?
The Accord is a better engineered all-around car than the Fusion.
Although the Fusion is awesome
This car is beautiful ill get the 2013 next year when it's alil cheaper
Honda isn't CNET "style" because they actually build cars, not rolling infotainment devices.
man this accord is sick all they gotta do is change up the body next year and its perfect
Brain Cooler is the best in the business!
Honda needs to offer HID's to their Accord.
Props to him for listening to Lauryn Hill
