    I’ve been a Honda fan since I was 16. Which was a long time ago. To me Honda lost their way for a few years which sent me to other makes. This- this ACCORD- is what brought me back to Honda. I drove a ‘17 Civic. And I felt that if it was this Honda-like I could only imagine how the Accord must feel. I had to have one! Honda is BACK!!! Take it from an older person who knew Hondas way back when!

      I knew Honda when the first car came out in (I believe it was) '71. A 3 cyl little thing! They've come a long way since then! Just bought my first Honda, traded a Camry on it. Decided I wanted a 6-speed manual, no one drives them anymore. I'm loving it!

    Just bought a ‘19 2.0 Touring. It’s exquisite. Got a fantastic price AND the dealer drove it to me.

    They have audio and phone controls on the steering wheel, so that's probably why Honda placed them on the right side of the infotainment display.

    The 4 wheel drive thing is useless for me. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. There is no snow and hasn't been since the 60s! I just bought a 2020 EX-L in Metallic Steel. This car is the bomb! As a guy who is 6'3" tall, this car is extremely comfortable and far more comfortable than my 2014 Accord Touring was.

    If I'm not mistaken the CVT is offered only with the 1.5 liter turbo, not with the 2.0 liter turbo

      @Modern.Motoring  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi MB,
      The 2.0 Accord engine has either the 6 speed manual or the 10 speed auto.
      You're right with the CVT being offered on all 1.5 trims.

  • @peppaminttea
    @peppaminttea 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love my EX-L. I didn't pick the Touring because I'm not a fan of the push button shifter. Do they even come with the regular gear shifter?

    One more thing can you actually buy this in New York state where you can take advantage of the 4% sales tax over there the exception to it is that if you bought it within the five boroughs of New York where you're forced to pay 8.875% tax still better than what you have in province of Ontario at 13% sales tax.

      Sales tax on a car is actually paid when the car is registered. So if you live in Ontario buying a car in New York State won't get you out of paying the 13% tax.

      Very little protection for the sensors beneath the license plate, never had much confidence driving straight into a parking space, this doesn't help any. I'll continue to back in everywhere, so many curbs are too low. I notice that there are sensors in front on the Touring model. I have the Sport 2.0T, loving it!
