I bought a black one two weeks ago for a reason. Went from a Focus ST to this. This car even feels faster than a hot hatch. I looked around for a year test driving different sedans and mid size SUV’s of different brands and I couldn’t get this car out of my mind. I love my car 🤘🏼
My dad bought a Toyota from a Honda dealership. A week later, his AC wasn't working so we brought it back so they can fix it and they gave us a Honda Accord as a rental car... and OMG I LOVED IT!!!! Rn i have a Chevy Cruze, next car is going to be this!!!!! Soonnnnnn aaarghhhh!
Can you imagine Raiti teaching a class? "Okay class to find the volume of the big Mac you must multiply the cheeto × taco × quesadilla" 🤣 loving these car storage examples !
Just picked up my 2.0t Sport in white last night. It’s shockingly quick...about as much power a fwd car with no lsd should have. Reminds me of the old college days when my friend had a supercharged vr6.
Hey Joe, let me start by saying you are one of the best Car Reviewers out there on TH-cam, Period. I just love the passion & enthusiasm you punch in to your reviews that literally translates into goosebumping, mind blowing, adrenaline rushing experience that I get to feel. Loved the reviews you have done for all the cars here on the channel especially this 2.0T Touring Spec of the Accord. I bought this same spec in Modern Steel Metallic last year & not a day goes by when I am not thinking about the car. The best Accord ever made! The Technology, the Sports Driving Dynamics, the Comfort & the great Honda reliability that comes with this car... ahhh.. simply Epic! In the end, all I would like to say is please continue the great work & the vibrant energy you thrust in to your videos & all the best with your job. Take care & Stay safe from that damn COVID-19 crap. Cheers!
Hi Anuj - how has the car been for you in terms of reliability? Heard the "sensing" sensor is prone to debris causing the entire dash to light up like a Christmas tree. Secondly, I've seen a lot of these X gen accords having very sensitive front windscreens that easily crack. I used to own a 9th gen V6 accord and that car absolutely needed nothing but regular oil changes for the 40K miles that I had it for. Thanks!
@@khibulls Hi man, how is it going? I have been having a great time owning the 10th Gen. Accord. Until now I haven't really faces an issue with the Honda Sensing sensor malfunctioning in any way plus the windshield seems to be fine with no noise or vibrations creeping into the interior. Only thing as a downside I have noticed on the car until now is the fact that the 19 inch rims on the Touring model seems to eliminate a large portion of the road noise generated but still that is something that can be improved as over slightly rough patches the decibels start to annoy me. There is one more issue that I was aware of even while purchasing the car & that is the fact that the Side Mirrors are not electrically folding in as Honda has built in a way where it can bend in the opposite direction upon impact & not break which makes sense but when moving with the car in tight spaces, I really need to stretch myself on the right size to fold the mirror which is honestly annoying. Other than the above mentioned issues, I honestly am satisfied with the vehicle & hopefully Honda can come with better noise dampening methods & Electrically adjustable side mirrors in the next refresh for this model. Take care man!
Yeah, I agree. I've owned 3 Honda Accords. Beautiful car's; and this current generation is BEAUTIFULLY styled...what a sexy head turning car...I LOVE it. The inside interior styling is equally as gorgeous. The quality of material, fit and finish is stupendous ! This car just does everything so well, PERFECT ! And the size of interior space and trunk are beyond the class. A 16.8 cubic foot trunk, over 40 inches of rear leg room,: unbelievable ! The performance of ALL Accord models; the 1.5 T and the 2.0 Turbo will not leave anyone wanting for more. The 1.5T can do 0-60 in just 7.0 seconds, ( and this is the baseline engine), whilst the 2.0T can burn though 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds with that amazing 10 speed transmission. The handling follows suit as well with over 0.90 G's of lateral road holding. this car has everything you need. It's really perfect.
Edward Valivonis me too. i bought the base 2020 lx and it’s fine for me. i don’t need all the flashy things. ultimately the only thing i would change are the taillights but they grew on me. camry is still a great option too
This Accord would beat a stock LT1 Camaro/Firebird of the early nineties in the 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile. Amazing performance from a turbocharged inline four...
I have a 2019 2.0T 6MT. Anyone who wishes for Accord Type R, the 6MT can be turned into a Type R with less than $3000. Throw in Acuity shift upgrades, Eibach pro kit, Borla exhaust and Hondata ECU and you will have a monster family sleeper sedan.
@@theshield1613 Small engine in small minded Americans. Europeans figured out how to make "small" displacement engines with tons of power 30 years ago. Even the 1.5T is by no means "small", let alone the 2.0T. Audi has been using 2.0T in their premium sedans for decades.
Great review as always, Joe! You are one of the best most entertaining reviewers I've seen - anywhere! I have driven many happy hours in my Accord 2.0T Touring. I love it as much as the day I first bought it - maybe more because I have discovered more and more things about it I love - and I know I don't use the tech to it's fullest potential. It is truly an awesome car. As a side note, on more than one occasion when getting on a freeway on ramp and I have a jerk tailgater behind me trying to go fast (I am behaving myself safely speeding up on the on ramp to safely merge on to the freeway), I've had enough and put it in sport and gas it (maybe only halfway down). I leave the guy in the dust and you can tell the guy is really trying to catch up. I'm sure he had a reaction like, "I did NOT expect that from that car”...😛
Nice review man. I own a 2018 2.0T Sport and I can tell you that this is the most amazing car I've ever owned. The power from the engine is a lot more than most people expect when I blow past them. Also, it gets very impressive fuel economy. I would recommend it to everyone.
purchased a 2019 accord 2.0L tourint last week, best car i ever owned, its just fantastic, the tech, the power, super comfortable, a very nice interior to be seated, i can spend all day in the car
I bought the sport!!!!! Love it so much and your reviews helped for my decision. I wish they would make an AWD version. I have the blue pearl color and it’s really a head turner
@@VirgosGroove3 actually it does. Even when comparing a new Camry to a new Accord, the Accord seems/feels bigger, more planted on the road. The fit and finish of the car is miles above the Camry IMO. We have owned it for over 3 months now and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I bought the Touring Hybrid btw.
I have a 2018 Touring 2.0T with 43,500 miles and love it. I have the white platinum exterior with the light tan interior and wouldn’t change anything. I can fit my family of 5 in it easily and it has plenty of power in any driving situation. There is a USB plug in the center console so a 6’ charging cable will solve the no plugs in the rear. Great review!
Gotta say, the best tachometer among the class. Simple and elegant. Some brands just keep adding in all kinds of number and graphics. I just need the speed, rev, gas, and water temp.
I still prefer my TRD but I really like the dark wood grain material, it looks pretty sick! In comparison, I really like how this car has no fake air vents, better infotainment and the ventilated/heated seats (especially being in Florida lol). Really don’t like chrome on a car though. I think for the price point, this car is awesome, but I’ll still take my Camry any day haha
I was a little hesitant to go from a V6 Accord to the 2.0T four but my Grandson's 2008 Acura RDX has the same basic engine, known as the K engine and all that I have determined is it is a very reliable and durable engine. I have a 2019 Touring and feel it is the best driving car I have ever owned, extremely pleased with it after just over a year. My only disappointment is that it does have more road noise when on course road surfaces than I would like. I considered adding the factory accessory of two USB outlets for the back seat but instead keep a long cord plugged in one of the two USB outlets in the center console with the cord in one of the pockets on the back of the front seat. No complaints from our teen age grandchildren in the back seat. I have another car and a truck but they always want us to take the Accord and they prod Grandpa to "gun it". They like the acceleration.☺
Best car I have ever bought. Went from a 2016 Accord V6 to the 2018 Accord 2.0 touring. No complaints for over 2 years. I like V8 muscle cars but this car is plenty quick. Don't normally keep cars very long but unless Honda improves somehow I plan to keep this for a while. Don't drive many miles anymore (15000) so far. Just an edit: wish they would add limited slip, traction is my biggest problem.
Honda's reliability has gone downhill the last few years. Expect quite a few issues if you plan to own a modern Honda for 100,000+ miles. Your're better off leasing a modern era Honda.
that's the question we're all asking, and why I'm not touching the turbos. I expect my cars to last 250k. and we just don't know if this high compression turbo with yet another part that could break, will make it that far.
Great vlog as always! The thing that makes Honda Superior in any other midsize car is the aftermarket support just by bulking up a Honda or Flash Pro for a measly $650 you get rid of the top speed governor a mid to low 13 second car but if you want a downpipe a PRL Cobra intake a PRL front mount 85 you have a high-flow 12-second car for under $3,000 that in itself is amazing you cannot say that about the Camry or the Mazda and especially Nissan with their garbage cvts. Or you can just do the accessory route which there are hundreds of parts either way at far is super customizable which is not the case for the Mazda Nissan Hyundai and Camry to an extent
@@PLATINUM2U Nah, usual accord buyers are moms that use them as groceries carts. I know I wouldn't buy a car with that body style and I am not young :-P
I had a 1980 Accord LX hatch back in the day and I loved it. My buddy owns a 2005 V6 Coupe and he's let me drive it. Accords are sweet, but you do see them everywhere.
My dad have the 2014 Honda Accord till this day. It drives great. Very stable. Interior looks very luxurious and clean but the only annoying thing is about the Piano Black trims, need to clean it up when there's some kind of dust or dirt. Other than that is just beautiful. The size of the Accord is really large eventhough it's a mid-size sedan. Very comfortable and it performs great on the highway... I'm surprised that even this size of car can reached up to 240km/h (around 149mph) despite its large size and the weight though. Great review on this Accord too. Love the redesign. Very beautiful.
@@sexy02081988 love the car. Very responsive, great mileage. One thing to keep in mind is, if you go with the 19 inch wheels, you will feel the road. The car is very spacious. Love my A cord.
The only problem with a turbocharger is that they don't last as long as the engine and will eventually have to be replaced. When that happens, chances are, the car will no longer be under warranty and will set you back roughly $1700 for parts and labor. For that reason i'm glad I went with the Camry SE.
I just picked up a 2020 Accord Touring 2 days ago. Went with the Obsidian Blue Pearl w/Grey interior. They grey isn't much darker than the Ivory interior on the car reviewed here and it looks great. The blue really shines in the sun. I wish the seats had better bolstering. I drove a 2001 Acura CL for 19.5 years and that's one thing I miss, is how well the seats held me in place. These seats are more comfortable overall, just not as snug of a ride around turns. The rest of the car though? It's a rocket for a family sedan. The amount of computerized things worry me a little bit for long term ownership, but I plan on buying an extended warranty for it (shop around. they can be had for really good prices). Overall I'm extremely happy with the car so far and it's been a lot of fun to drive so far.
The Honda Accord are beautiful, the bad thing about these modern ones is the CVT automatic transmission , they are GDI, and that almost everything is electronic, in the long run they will bring us problems.
My wife has this vehicle. My only zonks are the lack of adjustment for passenger seat and the low profile tires. She goes "curb hunting" way to much for me and has scuffed all four rims. It is a great car for the money as you can get a new one in the mid 30's. Honda Sensing works well and the adaptive cruise control is so nice on long trips. Great review Joe!
@@Cynical496 Not necessarily. The Camry has a V6 and it is a Toyota. The Maxima has a V6 and it is a Nissan. Just some examples. It has nothing to do with luxury brands.
I’m saying if you want a Honda V6 you need to get Acura. Still the same reliable engine, it’s their way of boosting sales for Acura. It is seen as a more premium brand, Honda meant to be a good/cheap brand focusing on technology not driving performance capabilities.
Chivas127 well if your taking about the technology you get with it, yes! But space and power for the factor I would take a Honda or Camry over a sonata
Honda is super reliable! When I sold my 2008 Type R it had 240,000 km on the clock. Only replaced the clutch once. The K20 engine, if looked after properly, will easily get 500,000 km. And it is old school vtec! So by the way, I'm from South Africa, therefore km, and not miles
Great review as always. I love this Accord. Sadly the Uk does not get the Accord anymore. Typical Honda, beautiful build and looks classy. I like the fact it has a style of its own on the outside. The Civic like the Accord does sway opinion on styling.
@@RaitisRides its madness. They pulled out around 2013. The latter Accord/ Accura Tsx 2008 as you know it didn't sell well in the UK unlike the previous version. I have that 2008 year type model and it's great, love it. The Germans dominate the saloon category in the UK. Even GM Vauxhall Insignia and Ford Mondeo are poor sellers by comparison to the German saloons. I can't help but feel this Accord could do well in the UK, guess we will never know☹️
Jankuba Kromah NL I don’t have the V6 Camry but I do own the 2018 SE Camry 4 cylinder. Camry is a good car but for me Honda is the way to go for the following: 1. Cabin is bigger. I have been lucky enough to drive my fathers Honda Sport 1.5t and I must say it’s a lot more spacious in the driver side. Which for me is a big deal because I live in Illinois and I have wear a big winter jacket in the winter. While wearing it, I feel restricted. Again this my opinion on it. 2. 10 speed feels less jerky and awkward than the 8 speed 3. What the accord lacks in power, it makes up in torque. With that said it can get to traveling speeds efficiently. At least that’s how it felt in my dads Honda 3. Again it’s cheaper 4 Lastly Honda makes more of their powerful engine variant than Toyota. If Toyota made more V6s I would get the the Toyota
That rear end look tho is awful...it’s not a civic so what’s up with the C taillights. I’ll give you points tho on the front end. Very aggressive and refined, but for me the rear is a deal breaker. The 9.5 gen Accord will always be the best looking model💯
Yes! Honda Accord “Type R” is what’s needed! But possibly an option for a Touring Type R like they have the Sport Touring, minus the oversized childish looking spoiler but with all the bells and whistles. Get a turbo charged 2.5ltr in it and over 300hp? I’d buy one tomorrow and even a Raiti’s T-shirt if you had any 3x’s.
I’ve owned both actually, I had the 1.5 and it got totaled so I went and bought another just the 2.0 instead. I definitely would say the 2.0 feels like a total different car with the 10 speed transmission, definitely worth the upgrade
I have the 2.0 touring 2019. Love the engine and transmission combo. Enough acceleration to be a fun car to drive. I test drove the 1.5 with cvt before i bought. It has adequate acceleration and cvt is actually pretty good, but happy with choice I made. 36k miles in 14 months great car so far!!!! (My only ding, is the seats could be a little more supportive).
Only thing I don't like in this car and in most modern cars is the stupid electronic push button transmission shifter, it will most likely stop working in the long run just like other electronics. The push button start/off I don't mind since it actually serves a purpose of not having to take out your key fob outta your pocket to start and it also is a small minor fix if it goes out, but the shifter serves absolutely no purpose in being a button.
I bought a black one two weeks ago for a reason. Went from a Focus ST to this. This car even feels faster than a hot hatch. I looked around for a year test driving different sedans and mid size SUV’s of different brands and I couldn’t get this car out of my mind. I love my car 🤘🏼

OWNER458 my 07 Accord 4cyl is at 52,000 barely
Honda's reliability has gone downhill the last few years. Expect quite a few issues if you plan to own a modern Honda for 100,000+ miles. Your're better off leasing a modern era Honda.
03 5 speed accound 217k miles
that's the question we're all asking, and why I'm not touching the turbos. I expect my cars to last 250k. and we just don't know if this high compression turbo with yet another part that could break, will make it that far.
I can't wait to get behind the wheel of this Accord! Everything about it is on point!
I bout this car in January and I love this car.
Great vlog as always! The thing that makes Honda Superior in any other midsize car is the aftermarket support just by bulking up a Honda or Flash Pro for a measly $650 you get rid of the top speed governor a mid to low 13 second car but if you want a downpipe a PRL Cobra intake a PRL front mount 85 you have a high-flow 12-second car for under $3,000 that in itself is amazing you cannot say that about the Camry or the Mazda and especially Nissan with their garbage cvts. Or you can just do the accessory route which there are hundreds of parts either way at far is super customizable which is not the case for the Mazda Nissan Hyundai and Camry to an extent
V.I.R Lap times
Honda Accord 2.0T - 3:18.4
Toyota Camry V6 - 3:25.3
Okkkkk? And? Both cars are slow. Its a daily commute vehicle. Who cares about lap time?
@@troytruong8246 exactly my thoughts. However the Camry will easily outlive the accord due to the fact it doesn't utilize turbochargers 🤓😇
@@PLATINUM2U Nah, usual accord buyers are moms that use them as groceries carts. I know I wouldn't buy a car with that body style and I am not young :-P
Kia K5 is imported from Georgia and I think Nissan Altima is imported from North Carolina
70cc 3:36.5
Three years ago today! Planning to buy it!
4:04... The Composure!... The Compassion!.... 10/10!!
I had a 1980 Accord LX hatch back in the day and I loved it. My buddy owns a 2005 V6 Coupe and he's let me drive it. Accords are sweet, but you do see them everywhere.
Damn this is faster than my IS350
David i really wanted an is350 but got this touring... wanna trade? haha
Love this new Honda Accord, you killed it with this video, Joe!
My dad have the 2014 Honda Accord till this day. It drives great. Very stable. Interior looks very luxurious and clean but the only annoying thing is about the Piano Black trims, need to clean it up when there's some kind of dust or dirt. Other than that is just beautiful. The size of the Accord is really large eventhough it's a mid-size sedan. Very comfortable and it performs great on the highway... I'm surprised that even this size of car can reached up to 240km/h (around 149mph) despite its large size and the weight though. Great review on this Accord too. Love the redesign. Very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing that great information!
“Import Sedan”... imported from Ohio?
bscu0493 you get what I’m saying, right?
Are you taking shots at Ohio ? Lol
He probably means that it's NOT an American brand. It's Honda, the real deal of Japan.
Meanwhile, "American" brands (as well as a few others) are mostly built in Mexico.
40% of Americans are imported 😆
My first car. Purchased just 4 months ago. Can't believe I made such a good decision.
I have a 2019 same color and trim. Love it.
Any advice about the car
@@sexy02081988 love the car. Very responsive, great mileage. One thing to keep in mind is, if you go with the 19 inch wheels, you will feel the road. The car is very spacious. Love my A cord.
@@joelcruz998 thanks:)
The only problem with a turbocharger is that they don't last as long as the engine and will eventually have to be replaced. When that happens, chances are, the car will no longer be under warranty and will set you back roughly $1700 for parts and labor. For that reason i'm glad I went with the Camry SE.
"as hard as an old piece of sushi" 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
I just picked up a 2020 Accord Touring 2 days ago. Went with the Obsidian Blue Pearl w/Grey interior. They grey isn't much darker than the Ivory interior on the car reviewed here and it looks great. The blue really shines in the sun. I wish the seats had better bolstering. I drove a 2001 Acura CL for 19.5 years and that's one thing I miss, is how well the seats held me in place. These seats are more comfortable overall, just not as snug of a ride around turns. The rest of the car though? It's a rocket for a family sedan.
The amount of computerized things worry me a little bit for long term ownership, but I plan on buying an extended warranty for it (shop around. they can be had for really good prices). Overall I'm extremely happy with the car so far and it's been a lot of fun to drive so far.
I dunno. The front is ok. But I like the outgoing gen best. It was a nice car
Truth. 9th Gen was way better than this ugly thing.
The Honda Accord are beautiful, the bad thing about these modern ones is the CVT automatic transmission , they are GDI, and that almost everything is electronic, in the long run they will bring us problems.
Joe brother that’s a nice car , thanks my friend like always you are the best
My wife has this vehicle. My only zonks are the lack of adjustment for passenger seat and the low profile tires. She goes "curb hunting" way to much for me and has scuffed all four rims. It is a great car for the money as you can get a new one in the mid 30's. Honda Sensing works well and the adaptive cruise control is so nice on long trips. Great review Joe!
I wish they kept the v6
It’s called Acura
@@Cynical496
Nahh. If i want awd. I would get an Acura but i shouldn't go to an acura for a v6.
@@Cynical496 Not necessarily. The Camry has a V6 and it is a Toyota. The Maxima has a V6 and it is a Nissan. Just some examples. It has nothing to do with luxury brands.
I’m saying if you want a Honda V6 you need to get Acura. Still the same reliable engine, it’s their way of boosting sales for Acura. It is seen as a more premium brand, Honda meant to be a good/cheap brand focusing on technology not driving performance capabilities.
@@samlung2724 Be happy you still have an i4. There will come a time when all you have is a turbo i3 or electric.
I have a 2020 accord exl. Love everything about it ❤️ great car!
I bought a Sonata over this and I don't regret it.
Chivas127 a car that u can tune and modify easily. I will take accord any day over the Camry and sonata
Chivas127 until you’re about to trade/sell it , then you’ll realize how much your Sonata would have depreciated
@@Zayd0o0o I don't care about modifying. IMO
@@danielallan2537 I won't do that sorry. Just my preference.
Chivas127 well if your taking about the technology you get with it, yes! But space and power for the factor I would take a Honda or Camry over a sonata
Honda is super reliable! When I sold my 2008 Type R it had 240,000 km on the clock. Only replaced the clutch once. The K20 engine, if looked after properly, will easily get 500,000 km. And it is old school vtec! So by the way, I'm from South Africa, therefore km, and not miles
That red color is sexy. It blends well with the horrible taillights vs other colors
Great review as always. I love this Accord. Sadly the Uk does not get the Accord anymore. Typical Honda, beautiful build and looks classy. I like the fact it has a style of its own on the outside. The Civic like the Accord does sway opinion on styling.
That is really crazy Andy!
@@RaitisRides its madness. They pulled out around 2013. The latter Accord/ Accura Tsx 2008 as you know it didn't sell well in the UK unlike the previous version. I have that 2008 year type model and it's great, love it. The Germans dominate the saloon category in the UK. Even GM Vauxhall Insignia and Ford Mondeo are poor sellers by comparison to the German saloons. I can't help but feel this Accord could do well in the UK, guess we will never know☹️
Bring back the 3.5 V6.
Rear USB ports are a factory accessory you can order and have installed at the dealership.
Honda Civic Touring 2020 is very nice also and priced as a great value on a budget. There are USB ports in the back too.
Slow down before u get snatched up for speeding man!!!!!!!!! Love that Growl when you floored it
Love this! Such a nice car.
My bike and car both honda. I never disappointed with honda vehicles, Very reliable. Nice review 👍
19 inches wheels? Dang even changing tires on a Accord is getting expensive
Kenny Phun yes sir! Nothing is cheap anymore:
You could get the EX model which I believe has 18 inch wheels. Or the LX model has 17 inch wheels
The wheels on the touring and sport are also prone to theft - I would be always worried and opt for an EX-L instead!
I love it Joe, sounds like a race car on throttle!!
I totally agree with you Rich!
That front silver piece is driving me crazy. It should definitely be matte/gloss black. I feel like it’ll make it look more aggressive and less daddy.
I know how you feel!
In Canada we get 2 usb ports and heated seats in the back
Pranavan Sada here too there is heated seats I saw one at the dealer in buffalo ny
Car Man 04 yea I don’t know why he doesn’t have these features. The accord imo is the best sedan on the market
Great real world review. Especially the driving portion. Great job!
Idk... kinda want a stinger too
I could understand that!
The car is super comfortable my brother just got this car
Honda: So, you know people are going hate how the back looks right? Yup. We going to change it? Nope. They will hate it. We know. Let's do it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Loving the new Honda Touring, great review 👍🏾
Yes. Cheaper than the V6 Camrys in my area and more importantly,
Honda makes more 2.0Ls over Toyota’s V6
The V6 has more power and is normally aspirated.
Ivanov Preslav
Yet the Accord is faster by an a hairs length.
@@HOTPLATEGAMING do you have the v6 Camry?
Jankuba Kromah NL I don’t have the V6 Camry but I do own the 2018 SE Camry 4 cylinder.
Camry is a good car but for me Honda is the way to go for the following:
1. Cabin is bigger. I have been lucky enough to drive my fathers Honda Sport 1.5t and I must say it’s a lot more spacious in the driver side. Which for me is a big deal because I live in Illinois and I have wear a big winter jacket in the winter. While wearing it, I feel restricted. Again this my opinion on it.
2. 10 speed feels less jerky and awkward than the 8 speed
3. What the accord lacks in power, it makes up in torque. With that said it can get to traveling speeds efficiently. At least that’s how it felt in my dads Honda
3. Again it’s cheaper
4 Lastly Honda makes more of their powerful engine variant than Toyota. If Toyota made more V6s I would get the the Toyota
Rear USB ports are a dealer installed factory accessory.
Should be already there from the factory!
Great review Joe! That’s a great looking car for the touring trim level too!
The taillights are just awful.
Beautiful color 4 beautiful edges
That rear end look tho is awful...it’s not a civic so what’s up with the C taillights. I’ll give you points tho on the front end. Very aggressive and refined, but for me the rear is a deal breaker. The 9.5 gen Accord will always be the best looking model💯
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
Bought one a week ago and I'm lovin it!
Im Claiming this same exact car 2.0 in 2023 now!
I think it's a solid car but for nearly 40k, i'm good. I remember the good ole days when you could get an accord EX for around 21k.
Nobody is spending almost 40. You can get into an EX for 27 tops.
a civic is the same size as the accord used to be though. so that would be more comparable
a civic is the same size as the accord used to be though. so that would be more comparable
For reference, I got into a Touring for under 33
I remember when the top Accord had a v6...
Yes! Honda Accord “Type R” is what’s needed! But possibly an option for a Touring Type R like they have the Sport Touring, minus the oversized childish looking spoiler but with all the bells and whistles. Get a turbo charged 2.5ltr in it and over 300hp? I’d buy one tomorrow and even a Raiti’s T-shirt if you had any 3x’s.
You are so very right man! Spread shirt does have 3XL man! I appreciate the suppport!

Honda needs an AWD accord.
Hello
2 more weeks and I'm getting a '19 Touring leftover. Super Stoked!
Whenever you get the chance you should try to review the 2021 k5 optima. Not sure when that would be, but if you haven’t seen it I’d check it out!
The more I see this I want to trade in my 1.5 to the 2.0 😝
Not worth the upgrade imo
Kenny Phun I totally disagree. Worth the upgrade! I’ve driven both and hands down the 2.0 engine is far superior.
I’ve owned both actually, I had the 1.5 and it got totaled so I went and bought another just the 2.0 instead. I definitely would say the 2.0 feels like a total different car with the 10 speed transmission, definitely worth the upgrade
@@delevainwhitehurst3856 might drive different as far as power but its still a honda lol
I have the 2.0 touring 2019. Love the engine and transmission combo. Enough acceleration to be a fun car to drive. I test drove the 1.5 with cvt before i bought. It has adequate acceleration and cvt is actually pretty good, but happy with choice I made. 36k miles in 14 months great car so far!!!! (My only ding, is the seats could be a little more supportive).
I wish Honda made more sleeker - sportier SUVS .
I can’t get passed how ugly the rear is
Joe you need to do a separate video about that Honda badge😁
Rear USB is a dealer option.
I cant wait for the new TLX version of this. Get that pano sunroof, AWD, better turbod engine, and slightly more premium materials. AMAZING.
I live in Ohio and accord is definitely on radar. I work at a factory who makes parts for Toyota and Honda
Have to get one when i come back to the states
14.1 quarter mile, 0 - 60 on 5.5 seconds on a accord wow.
Tell me about it! Boy have things changed!
Only thing I don't like in this car and in most modern cars is the stupid electronic push button transmission shifter, it will most likely stop working in the long run just like other electronics. The push button start/off I don't mind since it actually serves a purpose of not having to take out your key fob outta your pocket to start and it also is a small minor fix if it goes out, but the shifter serves absolutely no purpose in being a button.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
I have a 91 accord can’t wait to upgrade
I am really not a fan of light and snow interiors like this
