I just looked up your channel from a comment you left on an old channel of mine 5yrs ago, glad to see some people are doing good in life.
Wow!! Now I have to know what comment 😂
Been interested in the 2.0 accord for awhile now.. insightful review, found it helpful. Definitely need a test drive
Excellent video. Thanks for doing the review, beautiful car. Love the 2.0T with the 10 speed.
What a great looking car! Honda really has perfected the modern passenger vehicle, I've loved their build quality since one of my first daily drivers, a 2000 Civic LX Sedan. Great car, just kept driving and driving.
Just purchased a 2021 Accord Sport se in Platinum White, and it's awesome!!
Love my '22 sport 2.0.t Slowly adding to it. Thanks for vid.
That’s a sharp car. Love the color. Hoping to pick one up this year same spec.
Got a 21 in the same color and I love it, great car
I love your car and the blue color! I’m getting the same one soon, excited tho.
Video was very helpful bro thanks 👍
Beautiful car. I just bought one and I'm super excited.
How much does it cost?
@@emekachukwu7207 I paid $38 000 Canadian dollars.
that transmission is amazing. it's the reason the car punches well above its class.
nice video. Good POV test drive!
Im picking up the 2018 2.0t sport manual tomorrow
I have seen some Type R turbo swaps into it with a good tune. This will be my next car... but I still love my 07 v6 6speed manual accord haha.
Just picked up the same color/trim with the 6 speed, 2020 model. Love it so far!
I also bought one, but mine is black. Blue was my #1 choice, but I got a good deal on a black one. I love it as well! Enjoy your accord! 🤟
I've owned 19 cars in my lifetime. 10 have been Hondas and 8 of them have been Acuras. Currently own a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T. I love this car. It is so much car for the money. Have driven nothing but V6 Hondas/Acuras since '02 and swore I'd never go back to a 4 cylinder. When the '18 Accords came out with no V6 option, I was disappointed. Had a '16 Acura TLX V6 Advance and was looking to replace it with a slightly used '19 TLX V6 Advance but could not find one to suit me after months of searching. Considered the Accord 2.0T but couldn't wrap my brain around going back to a 4 cylinder. I finally took one for a test drive and realized that I had not given the 2.0T engine enough credit. I ended up buying my CPO '20 Touring model with 7k miles on it. Now, a year later I am so glad I did. The more I drive this car, the more I love it. Like you, my gripes are few but my praises are many. My biggest gripes are the lackluster sound system, which is far inferior to my TLX, and the smallish gas tank. But other than that, I am very, very pleased with my purchase. The 2.0T has plenty of power and I do not miss my V6 engines, other than the powerful growl that they made. Great driving car. Mine is Lunar Silver with the gray leather. Hope you're still enjoying yours.
I have owned a good number as well from Integra, to modified VW turbodiesels, GTI, Accords, Civics, and now the 2.0t sport. After 3 years of ownership I have to say the 2.0t sport is my favorite so far
@@JoseRivera-li8tr I just bought another CPO ‘21 Accord Touring 2.0T with 4k miles and am selling my ‘20. My new one is Sonic Gray Pearl. Hate that the ‘23 Accords no longer offer this great power train. I won’t be buying a new version when the time comes to upgrade. RIP 2.0T!
@@a32tl I'm sad to see the 2.0t go as well. Such a good powerplant
Also for that chrome bar on the grill use Meguiars quick detailer Mist and wipe. It works like a champ👍
I’ll probably end up carrying that around in the car then, it drives me crazy seeing it dirty!
@@PaulsPlace lol yea I bet
I have the touring trim @ nearly 45K miles mostly on the hwy. It's a great car but my only 2 complaints are the noise and the uncomfortable seat, especially during long trips.
Great review.
Great detailed review 👋
Thanks! I’m currently editing my 2 year as I type this. Stay tuned!
I own a 2017 Coupe V6 Touring. I do like the new Accords and they are a bit of a sleeper. I just worry about longevity of a turbo engine vs N/A
I traded in my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition after a year of ownership and putting an additional 50K miles on it (commuting 200 miles a day for work) and leased a 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T (working remotely now) and I absolutely love it. Coming up on year of ownership on 9/1 and I am so pleased. Second honda vehicle with my first being a 2006 Honda Civic Coupe I got brand new and just sold in March of 2020 with 235K. Biggest car I've ever owned and I love it.
Thank you for your review. How is the road noise, tire noise?
Looks cool! Getting a black one ex-l 2.0T
Hello from Korea! Awesome video. That looks like a really comfortable, fun daily driver. How’s the CarPlay situation? Also, are you gonna install OpenPilot? Can’t wait for the next video.
Trevin!!!! Thanks dude! I love it. CarPlay works perfectly, haven’t had an issue yet! I think I’ll keep it the way it is without OpenPilot, for the routes that I drive, the stock system works perfectly for me.
A great review! My 2021 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport in still night blue, same as yours. A few differences are the new wider front facia with full LED head lights and round fog lights. Mine has wireless Car Play and Android Auto also black contrast color for the shark fin, rear spoiler and outside mirrors. I notice there is a lot less wind noise than my trade-in (2018 Honda Accord CVT 1.5T). The feedback to steering is the best of any car I've driven. My complaints: the button shifter, road noise, poor audio sound quality from infotainment system.
Yeah but u got the ugly fog lights
I plan to get one next Spring. I have to wait until my credit card bill is paid off.
@@klb6453 Smart decision. Accord has great trade-in value too. In 2021, Honda Accord outranked all midsized sedans in Car&Driver, Motor Trend, KBB and many others. Edmunds ranked it second to the new Kia K5.
@@Maureentv1 Should have got a Kia K5 then.
@@marki61422 I have both, Mark. I love both the K5 gt-line AWD 1.6T and the 2021 Honda Accord 2.0T sport. The Kia has plenty of tech and the Accord has the best performance and handling!
Got the same one, DEFF stands out. All you need is tints to make it look better
Facts
And switch out the OEM wheel locks, just got my wheels stolen.
Jack S damnnn, I’m from NY so u know i had to. I bought the rimgard wheel locks. Invest in those when u can
Love my 2020 Accord, but hate the low profile tires. Even the smallest of bumps feels like my fillings are gonna come out. But a fun car to drive.
This is the spec i'd get a 10th gen accord in for sure. I have a 2013 v6 coupe manual and love it to death but it has over 200k miles now and realistically won't own it forever. I'd def consider this as a replacement though
Hey bro u mentioned that the transmission isn’t the best but I thought that it was, can u please elaborate on that and recommend better transmissions? Is the accord better than the new tlx dual clutch?
My honda 2.0t touring goes up to 32mpg when I drive in Interstate and in eco mode.
Turbocharged vehicles are very sensitive to throttle inputs. If you drive with light foot, then you get amazing gas mileage .
Same here. Even though I get more with a 1.5L Sport, I get alot more mileage with Econ
If you get out in drive it puts in park automatically as soon as you open door. You also have auto dimming. Pull the turn signal like you do when for high beams and hold a few seconds. You’ll see an A in a blue light on dashboard
I love the accord. Its the perfect commuter family/commuter car.
too gas-consuming and it has a small gas tank.
Great review - are you finding any rattles in your model? I had an issue with the head unit/touch screen as well as the A pillar on the passenger side but my dealer fixed mine. Now I'm having issues with the rear deck being rattled by the subwoofer.
Thanks! I have an occasional creak from the A pillar when it’s cold outside, annoying but goes away after it’s warmed up. Other than that, nothing.
Yeah, I have this same exact car and I don't like the tires either. The ride quality is quite rough like you mentioned, and it can get very noisy at high speeds. Do you think you will keep the 19's or downsize?
I’ll keep the 19s. Like I said, it rides better than the Elantra I replaced and is about the same noise level. I’ll put a nice set of Goodyear’s on before winter and that should take care of both of the issues. Tires make a huge difference.
Thanks for watching!
Did the new tires make a difference to the ride quality and noise or no?
Paul, I'm wondering if your tires are "Michelin Green-X" which my 2018 Accord EXL came with? I totally agree with you about the tires if you have the same type. They're made out of a new compound which is supposed to increase the rollability of the tire with increased gas mileage, but it must be a harder compound which makes the ride suck, go figure. I plan on changing my tires (I've had my car for just about 4 years (29,000 miles) so this Spring will be a good time for me. As for gas mileage (I have the 2.0T engine) I can't complain and regularly hit an overall mileage of 30.0 (trips of 500 - 1,000 miles) so I'm happy with it. As for rattles, not a problem on my 2018. As for the push button transmission, once you get use to it - a non-issue but like you would prefer the standard type shift knob. The 10 speed transmission has been great with no problems. Hope that you are enjoying your Honda.
Thanks! i have the Michelin Primacy MXM4. I think im going with Goodyear Maxlife next.
Have you ever thought about installing the carsifi or cpeb wireless android auto to your car? This keeps you from connecting your USB wire to your car and will work just like the new 2021 wireless android auto that's available on the new models. Anyways congrats on your new car!
I’ll look into that! Thanks!
@@PaulsPlace carsifi.com/#video_section
And no problem!!
@@PaulsPlace ://www.cpeb.it
I got a 2021 Sport SE in still night pearl.I’m surprised why haven’t you put tints on it yet
10:18 *and* 10:35 *- my favourite part* 🙃
I have the 21 Honda Accord Sport and I have gotten A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS TOO! 😭🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love Honda’s and Should have been with TEAM HONDA…..😎😎
You can keep the tach & have range & mpg up at the same time on the same screen but you have to change it in the settings.
I have it changed for that, I just prefer a simple clean tach. I can monitor my MPG on the infotainment screen.
Where in the settings can you change this? Makes no sense why it is not standard to have that coupled with the tach
Settings, vehicle, meter. Something like that.
I own one and dislike the seat. My 2020 Altima seats are way more comfortable on long trip. Love the power the the 2.0T and good gas mileage as well.
can you do a video on the certified preowned warranty
This is the perfect car
Do you have fitment or gap issues where the headlights meet the front bumper? I have them on my ‘18 sport 2.0t and very annoying. Honda quality going downhill not like decades ago. Other then that car is quick off the line and been reliable albeit some repairs that shouldn’t happen for a relatively low mileage car. They were fixed under warranty thankfully 😅
Yeah I did, I ignored it haha. I didn’t have hardly any issues besides the transmission being jerky, but that was normal.
Hey, Have you changed your coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid? if so, at what mileage?
If you go into your local Honda dealer you can ask him for the recommended maintenance guide and it will tell you at what mileage everything should be done at.
Paul...I just got my 2021 2.0t Sport yesterday...love the car...but I just found out that there is no readout on the dash for tire pressure...that's a bummer...Honda should be ashamed of themselves...
Haha, yeah that’s irritating! I’m making another video soon on 5 things you should know about before purchasing a Honda Accord to talk about these things. 😂
my 06 Pilot TPMS will tell you which tire has low pressure but my 20 Accord does not. only shows you that you have 1 in 4 shot of guessing which tire is flat🤷🏻♂️
@@PaulsPlace i think it depends on the model i have a ex-l and its shows me my tpms on all 4
Gen 9 doesn't tell you spefic tyres but indicates the pressure is low
Good review. Looks like you are a fellow NE Ohioan! I wonder if those stock Michelins just were a bit more worn when you bought this? As opposed to brand new? I have a 2020 Accord Sport 2.0T in modern steel metallic. My tires are generally quire good and sticky. Same tires. I think because the car isn’t AWD and so torque heavy then that causes more of the wheel spin. Not sure honestly. Car stays super planted when I take it pretty hard into entrance/exit Interstate ramps and such. Cheers.
Thanks! Yes sir! Yeah I’m just not happy with mine, must be a bit more worn out.
I live in Florida so I'm going summer tires when my originals go
Good video. I have the same car, just 2020. Only real thing that bugs me about my car is that the digital speedo is ONLY in km/h. NOT mph...I know that's kind of trivial, but still.. I can't make any sense of it. And yes I know the mechanical gage is always mph, but I still don't like how they couldn't just make the digital display both :D
Oh man, that annoys me too. I have no idea why they couldn’t program a simple thing 😂
On your radio screen go to vehicle settings you can change that option to mph.
@@BabyBoyArmani Thanks Johnny, but that is the same as toggling it from the steering wheel. All it does it gets rid of the 0km/h and goes blank. Honda Engineers didn't think that the American market would like to have digital mph along with the mechanical gage. No worries. I've lived without it for 2 years now.. lol
i have the san marino red 2021 2.0t and have found the michelins to be better than the goodyears 19 that came on my 2019 1.5 sport i had. Found key is 33 lbs in tires not 35 like most people do. yout tires look overfilled
My best gas mileage with a 2020 was 22mpg I drove it hard
Nice car, just wish they'd add available AWD!
That would make the car slower and get worst gas mileage.
How load is it on the highway? I know you commented a bit but is there a lot of wind noise as well?
Not a whole lot of wind noise. The tire noise is pretty loud. Especially noticeable when the tires wear down.
Have you noticed, or know how to change it, between the dash it will show digital kilometers, but not mph, on my 2020 accord 2.0 same color, i had 2021 base loner and that let me have mph digital in the center, not sure why 2021 base can do that but not 2020, i held the scroll button etc but only kilometers. Just looking for some insight since honda didnt know.
That’s a new “feature” in the 2021+ models haha
I have accord touring 2017, thinking of trading in for the 2019 2L sport or touring, what do u think? I like the engine and transmission in the 2L 2019 sport ! But don't want to lose some options I have on my touring 2017! Also Used 2019 2L touring is a way expensive almost 10-12K more than my 2017!
Keep your current accord. it'll be cheaper for you in the Long run.
Traded my 18 accord 1.5 paid 18k more for a brand new one that what I owed on my current one. Definitely love the upgrade overall interior is same but the power and transmission is a lot better than the cvt
I’m thinking about getting this car. Did your model come with wireless charging?
It did not.
@@PaulsPlace thanks for the reply brother!
What tires did you put on right before winter?
I kept the stock ones on.
I just got a 2.0t sport in San Marino red and the only thing I don't like is how Honda didn't do anything to separate the 1.5t sport from the 2.0t sport (other than a small 2.0t badge). It would be similar to Ford having the V6 and GT mustangs look identical outside. To me, the car blends in too much.
I like the fact that it blends in, it’s the ultimate sleeper! Congrats on your new car!
Perfect sleeper
I took all the badges off mine anyways except the H
i test drove a 2022 accord sport 2.0 last month and i dont like it ,handling was good but the ride was too jarring {stiff} for my taste and finally the deal breaker for me was the interior noise on the highway {too loud} ,,,,,,,, i ended up getting a 2022 Nissan Altima SL ,,horsepower is a bit down but it has a very Comfortable Ride and "Very Quiet" even on broken pavements on the highway ..........
Bro it’s a decent car I have the 2.0 as well mines 2020 tuned Im pushing 320 to the wheel. I’m not a fan and I’m not bashing the car I’m just not a fan I can’t wait till my lease is up and just get the TLX like I was supposed too the first time bro the TLX tuned with bolts on is a different animal.
The TLX is heavy AF compared to the accord and its not as quick as the accord to the weight.. It's clocked in the mid 6sec mark from 0-60. I have to a agree it looks better than the accord but performance, no. Maybe the Type S but not the 4 banger..
Have you had the hard shift from park to reverse thanks
Occasionally
It spins the tires off? Did you ruin your rims when they came off? Geez
I didn’t take a hit!!! Paid 26k for new 2019 new and just got 24k when I traded it in with 94k miles
Honda should have a trim with an LSD
Any hood flapping? We drove a Accord from a couple years back and the hood was just hopping like it was made of super thin sheets of Aluminum.
Nope!
Lol possibly the previous 9th gen….I have a 9th gen 2013 sport and the hood does flap at speeds…wonder if it’s because the sport was essentially a lx
Plastic dip that chrome in the front problem fixed !!
Plastidip?? Are you in 2015 haha
How much did it cost you, mate? did you negotiate the price?
Yep. After tax it was like $26k.
@@PaulsPlace How do you negotiate a new car?
The only thing I also don't dig is that janky gear shift button setup.
Same
I got the Firestone Firehawk tires 🛞 for my 2019 Accord Sport - highly recommended!
I agree - the stock tires on 10th Gen Accords suck
all accord 2.0 have valve cover gasket leak at 3000 mile! Stay clear!
What year?
The fact it has a 300 hp plus detuned Type R engine at 250 hp only means they'll be gradually increasing the hp on the Accord as we move forward. I'll wait till 2023 when it's at 285 and buy one.
Or you could just purchase a KTuner and tune the car yourself to make more HP.
@@applepoop10 I don't want to void the warranty. I lease cars on a 2 year basis so that I'm driving a new car every 24 months.
@@keylimepie210 this is the type of car you can have for years. I just got a 3 year lease and gonna drive for a bit but 100% looking to upgrade / tune a lot of it due to me purchasing after the lease ends
How often are you filling your tank?
Once a week haha
they made manuals transmission then discountinued it cause of the lack of sales in them.. people ask for it they made it, and they didnt buy it.
Darn I love Manual Transmission
Sounds like you prob. Should have gotten the 2.0 ex or ex-l. It has more features than the sport, with the same engine.
Nah, I’m happy with what I chose. I didn’t want leather seats.
One word… KTuner!
Haha, I’m thinking about it! I think I’ll get some better tires first since it just burns those off stock.
@@PaulsPlace he's not lying a totally different car in a great way
Nice car. But wow do you have some bad roads around there. I’ve been looking at this car for 3 yrs now. Eventually the time will be right to buy.
Tuned and CTR turbo swapped, it becomes the big brother! Lol..
Yeah I HATE SLOW DRIVERS in a freeway 🛣 too!🤬🤬🤬🤬
still like it ? any problems ?
I loved the car, no issues. I traded it recently for a different vehicle.
Great car but so much road noise do you think if you get new tires it could fully fix that?
Yep
Nope. Got diff tires on my 19. They're clearly much quieter than the stocks but tire noise is still the loudest noise in the cabin. Going to have to add some deadening to get on par with others in its class.
I have the 2020 Sport as well, and agree, need to add some sound blockage.
@@chublez what's deadening?
Why you calling it a baby Type R? It sure looks bigger to me :p
It's the exact same engine with the only difference being it's a smaller turbo. People call the G37 a baby GTR but the GTR is bigger....is has more to do with engine setups
Honda Accord 2.0 or Honda Insight Ex 🤔
Ooooo man that’s a hard choice. I looked into the insight as well. Depends if you want efficiency or a sporty nimble car.
Does this have a truck button?
Yes
@@PaulsPlace Ok, Thanks. Does the key fog take a standard watch battery for replacing the battery.
How could you tell it’s a fake engine noise?
It makes a sound out of the drivers side speaker in sport mode.
Well if you drive like that any tire you have we be worn 😂
Love the car hate the wheels
Thanks!
Auto?
10 speed.
Baby type R when it’s the same engine 😂
It has a smaller turbo compared to the type-R. Hence the baby. :)
@@PaulsPlace shhhhhh just GTR swap it 😂
my god those roads are horrible there lol
“Fake engine noise” …..
Its gross.
Don't drive crazy.. think before do Stupid. It's just a Honda don't go crazy. It's not a Porsche. Your insurance company can track your driving. Good luck be safe than sorry.
Hey man I need some advice on a couple of things.... is there a big difference between 1.5 and 2.0 for a 2020 accord and secondly would you prefer the car you have (accord with 2.0) or the new civic sport ( also 2.0). I'm really undecided between the 2... civics are cheaper brand new (2023) compared to a used 2020 or 2021 accord.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Test drive them both and see which one suits you better! The extra power on the 2.0T Accord is really addicting, but the fuel mileage is pretty bad. Personally, I'd wait until the Civic hybrid comes out. It'll be quick, get like 50 MPG, and be relatively affordable.
That’s a 1.5 turbo…. Not a 2.0
You’re kidding me right
What??? It's a 2.0
1:37 you’re welcome 😀
