Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, you'll see! Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
10 y/o me : i want a Lamborghini.
20 y/o me : i want Accord.
get one. Im 16 and I just got this model. (I payed for half and my dad paid for half) and I got shit for it cuz no one knew what it had until I raced a kids Mustang and dusted him. That's when ppl understood why I bought this car.
LimitedKanji which type did u get and how much?
Mahdi Tohidi I’m in Canada so ur gonna have to convert currencies but, I got the 2.0 Touring with the white colour. Got the protection pack and some warranty options and it came to 49 or 50k.
LimitedKanji holy shit that’s 38k! Then I’m assuming you got it fully decked out cuz the starting price on those is like half the cost 😂
Mahdi Tohidi ya that’s including all the add ons, interest, tax and warranties!
I was super against the styling originally...but it's really growing on me.
05Forenza the styling is classy too. The previous accord also looks classy. I always love accords a little more than the civics
I liked it at first, but then I saw the equivalent Camry. :'( If only Camry had decent infotainment.
The style is okay for me, I do not like those wheels. If I were to buy this car in a touring trim, I would definitely have to swap those out.
Jenbug0421 Honda does offer different rims for it. Though they're pricey.
this ain't your grandma's accord, the newer ones seem semi-luxury like the Chryslers of 1990 but for younger peeps
Honda awoke from their deep slumber with some really good cars. Civic and Civic Type R are wins. This new Accord kills the competition with performance and interior quality. The exterior design is the only area it isnt a runaway victory, but apart from the Mazda 6 everybody else is pretty stale. And with that fastback profile, the aftermarket is going to transform this car into a stunner. Welcome back Honda. Glad you could join us!!
Wish I can say the same about the new NSX
I personally think the 2018 Mazda 6 has better interior materials than the Accord.
The Accord is the better performing car, but I still think the new Camry is the better looking of the two IMO. You cannot go wrong with the black and white two tone look of the new Camry with red interior seating.
Jimmy Jam yeah but you can certainly go wrong with the unrefined ride and the boring nature of Camry.
Donovan Campbell probably not up some other manufacturer’s ass.
Did I just get hypnotized into wanting... an..................Accord??? What just happened
Kyle Drexler ikr?
Lool same here. I actually watched this video by mistake😂😂
Get any other generation besides this one.
+Kyle Drexler Don't worry, I feel the same way lmfao.
why not? accord has always been the benchmark in it's class. it's been on car and drivers 10 best list a record 32 times. it's main competitor, the camry, has never been on the list.
I test drove a 2.0T EX -L today. It is pure Honda Magic. The engine sounds great and loves to rev. The chassis is playful and very buttoned down. I love that Honda returned to a lower dashboard height that give great visibility and sportiness. I think you can't find a better sports sedan for even 10K or 15K more. I also drove the 1.5T Sport. It was nice but a little down on the power. The 2.0T is definitely the way to go.
did you end up getting it
“Sounds great”
It's definitely great but the Mazda 6 might be a better drivers car.
Tlx is a better car.
dude i’m so confused, is that speedometer on his windshield an edit or the real car
So I just came here to say thanks for making this video, because it was instrumental in my decision to test drive one.
Last year I picked up a 2.0T Touring, and it's the first car I've owned where I enjoy driving it all the time. There's really not much this car can't do well. It's a comfortable long distance cruiser, and yet it carves up mountain roads with ease. There are sportier cars, and there are more luxurious cars, but at this price point I don't think there are any other options that combine the perfect amount of both in one package. I think Honda struck a nearly perfect balance.
Rainman Noodles Exact same story for me. When car shopping a year ago, I wasn’t even THINKING about an Accord until I came across this video and some other reviews. Long story short, we bought our 2.0 Touring in December ‘17 and have been enjoying the heck out of it ever since. I never thought an Accord would make me smile this much.
Same with me. This is coming from someone who owned an S2000, followed by a Mazdaspeed 3, followed by a WRX, Followed by a BRZ, followed by a 10th gen Si, followed up with my EX-L 2.0T. Best car i've ever owned without question. The handling isn't as sharp as the BRZ or SI, doesn't have the insane boast at the top end as the MS3 and doesn't have the AWD acceleration from a dig and while it doesn't excel at just one thing, it does EVERYTHING extremely well. I was impressed when I test drove it but I continue to be impressed 5 months later owning it. Honda hit it out of the park with this one.
I agree. I just bought a 2018 2.0t EX-L a couple of months ago and I love driving it. When I’m not driving it I’m thinking about driving it. It’s just an all around excellent car. Fast, economical, fun, comfortable, sexy, roomy. I know of no other car at this price point that does so many things so well. The damn thing gets 37 mpg on the interstate running 77 mph. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds! Who says you can’t have power AND fuel economy?
There needs to be an Accord Type-R. Seriously. The chassis can probably handle more power and *maybe* AWD.
Wait for the next gen TLX.... it'll probably have everything you want minus the Type-R logo.
Accord SiR.... please........ 😭
There used to be an Accord Type R, they were cool.
Do it just like the integra type r. Lighter, more spot welds in the chassis to stiffen it up and then throw a new k24 turbo in it. Can only imagine.
Look up a pic of it.
Timed your 0-60 and got around 5.75 seconds, so on par with the 300hp Camry V6. Impressive.
When it first came out I wasn't sold on the exterior design but it's starting to grow on me, I also appreciate the fact that you can still get it in a manual transmission, good job Honda!
NOT SURE WITH THIS GENERATION TEN SPEED.. BUt the manual is usually faster tooo.. sorry for the caps.. too lazy to type it over
Motortrend "Despite the power disadvantage, the automatic Accord is 0.1 second quicker to 60 mph than the Camry, and it posts an identical quarter-mile time." Accord is also way better through corners
same here. was like WTF at first. now totally sold. 2.0T sport 6M
Do we know if the Accord 2.0T 6MT will come with LSD? Older Honda Accords 6MTs came with Open Diffs...
that I don't know
Well this car makes Acura pretty much pointless
Acura been pointless since Honda been throwing in the same tech & features that Acura has. The only advantages Acura has is AWD on its sedans & I guess better material (I can't think of anymore at this moment). People are getting fully loaded Hondas for thousands less than the Acura with the same features, makes sense.
Literally the only reason to get an Acura is if you absolutely must have AWD. Aside from that, Honda has indeed rendered them pointless.
With the TLX based on the Accord, not even going to wait for the 2nd gen TLX to debut before proclaiming Acura's ToD?
Acura uses the terrible ZF transmission. No thank you
Sad but true. The RDX redesign will be do or die for acura.
This video made me buy a 2018 2.0T Touring and I love it
same
About to bite the bullet as well. Especially excited for the Hondata tune
how much you pay for it?
Same. Every day I drive it I feel like I’m driving a 45k car , but I paid 33 for it. Crazy.
@@bslenter I just picked up a 20 Touring for 32K and yes it feels more then it's worth.
This is best car reviwer on youtube. straight to point. This is the only reviewer who doesn't sounds fake. He seems honest unlike other reviewers who take money from car manufacturers and provide them good reviews

I LOVE my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T! It is so good on so many levels. I look forward to driving mine every single day. It's almost as if the more I drive it, the more I love it.
I love this new accordddd !!! 😩😩 you gotta see it in person to appreciate it. The new Camry is nice though I prefer the sleek design of this one. It is simple and classic to look at. It is sexy.
2:06: Why I keep telling people, this car is highly underrated in the market, and sadly not a lot of performance enthusiasts have an awareness. This kind of performance for an Accord is extraordinary.
Omg this car is so BADASS! 😍
Whoever buy it will be damn happy with it, its incredible! 🤗🇯🇵
Best Review I’ve seen on the 2018 Honda Accord Hands Down
Yes I was waiting for you to make a video on the 2018 Accord
I Drove this accord 2.0 turbo is so amazing how quite the motor and so fast love the interior&exterior....so fun to Drive.
Wow watching you drive this car makes me smile!
I know this video is older. But your video is part of what prompted me to give Honda another go. I love Hondas. But Honda lost it’s way somewhere. I have owned quite a few Hondas. But the new Civic, and especially this new Accord, is what brought me back to Honda. This is the Honda I fell in love with. From my first car, a 1st generation Prelude, and the next Prelude, to the CRX’s I’ve had, plus many more, to my 2018 Accord 2.0 Touring. I’m a Honda man! Thank you Chris. Like you said, Honda is back!
I was thinking I wanted the 6 speed but that automatic looks very nice!
I really like your view of the new Accord. I test drive one as well and was super pleased with it. I am definitely gonna buy one very soon. 👍
I picked up my Touring 2.0t last week and love it. This car is a joy to drive!
thank you sir .. you included everything i wanted to know about this car . i am 99 % sold on this one.
I wish America had autobahns. I'd love to watch you drive without limitations.
This gives people less of a reason to go for an entry level luxury car such as a BMW 320i or 328i, Audi A4 2.0T, Mercedes C300, etc. The new Accord pretty much makes the TLX pointless.
Only reason to get a bmw Audi Benz of Acura over a Honda is for AWD .
status u fucker
Jay status of buying garbage that falls apart in 4 years and is worth 80% of the original MSRP? Yeah I guess so..
@@Jay-ds2eu if anyone knows anything about cars then they’d know you’re driving the lower end models so it’s not that great for status. Honda’s will last you over 300k miles while those bmws will last you 100k if you’re lucky
@@richardphan3644 BMW will Last 400 k easy
At least mine is
I bought the 2019 Sport 2.0 and it's amazing. That 10 speed automatic is very strong.
it is classic transmission or cvt ?
@@dawidlebeda2734it’s classical transmission
Honda knocked it out of the park with this car ! I just drove it today and honestly there’s no point of wasting more money on an entry luxury car . This to me would be the smart way to go for a sport sedan .
I have a Maxima Platinum and I’m seriously tempted to test drive this accord!
I just got the 2019 Accord 2.0t sport and damn is it fun!
This is the enthusiast car for when you “grow up” and your tastes evolve. 10 years ago I would have wanted the Civic Type-R more than anything, now I would rather have the Accord Sport 2.0T in automatic.
I love it bro how you said ok I better stop driving like an ass and immediately speed up 1 minute later laughing how much you love to drive this sport sedan! Hahaha you’re awesome bro!
I’m buying it because of this review!
Thank you for helping me making my mind!
Did you get it?
Just picked up my 18 Accord Touring 10 speed , absolutely love it
Do you still have it and how is it? looking to buy one now lmao
@@liamleibowitz7731no I traded it in lol but I do miss it
@@guillermopacheco5005 oh ha, what’d you trade it in for?
@@guillermopacheco5005 what you trade it in for?
@@BlinkedMyCartI got an sub because my fam outgrew it
thank you so much , i've been looking for the review like this on the new 18' accord . actually love it !.
Now that's the way you take a test drive, son!
Wow squealing the tires with a 4 cylinder automatic! So impressive! 💯💯💯💯
pretty strong engine sound actually sounds decent.Seems fast and responsive.love it.nice review I subbed.
Nice quick presentation! You showed more in a few minutes, than most of them in half an hour.
Nice POV review, love the looks of the Touring. Makes me want to trade in my 2013!
Watching it over again and again
Now 5 years old.
Check the resale value !
Insane !
You said you didn't see many at the time but now in 2021 i see these everywhere!!!!
Love the sound, I don't care if some people disagree or complain that it's a 4 banger.
If this car is Topher approved, then I approve.
“Wow, Geez! This is fantastic” had me dying
So far the best sounding 4 cylinder I've ever heard!
I love my Accord. Everything is amazing!
I like how honda benchmark the horsepower and torque ratings identical to the audi a4😊
sexiest interior of any Honda ever created.
Probably will upgrade from my 04 Accord to this as my daily someday ! It just that my Accord still has so much life left. Honda super reliable.
I was waiting for this! Awesome! Thanks!
this car looks so different in person. first time i saw it on the road, reminded me of the audi s7/rs7.
this is better . is so good . i'm feel a flying
Haha, this vid just popped back up again. It sold me on this car two years ago. I've been very happy since.
I’m debating on leasing one of these as a first car, and I would love one!! That thing looks like it is an amazing machine!!
my next car right there. 2.0T Touring Accord
Same here 10spd tranny is fun
@Uhhh Did you get one?
man this is very fast with all this spin tires and 0-60 5.7 s
I have a 2018 tlx and it is perfect . Honda really knows how make cars that last
This video was awesome it sounded awesome when you were cooking !!
I have the hybrid version of the 2018 Accord Touring. Other than way-lower-than-expected MPG, no matter the conditions or speed, it's a sweet ride. But don't expect the sticker MPG.
Yes it comes in a manual...try the manual in a California SoCal city and then slash your wrists after a 2 hour commute.
16 yr old me: i want a mustang
18 yr old me: i want an accord
I am well impressed with this car... I might buy one!
Wow that car looks visibly quick on camera is Honda coming back?
god damn. i'm gonna need to get this car, everything about this car and it's performance just STOCK is already pretty decent and it looks decent stock as well. honda really stepped up their game. used to say i'd never buy a honda car but recently they're catching my eyes a lot 👀.
do you know if that speedometer on the windshield is editing or a part of the car
@@k1awesomeness It's a Heads Up Display only available on the Touring package.
dude i love seeing your speedy in every video haha and great reviews by the way. this seems like the japanese version of audi a4
I'm really impressed. This might have to be my next car
To be honest, this car looks good in and out. The rear grew on me
After watching this video, I want to a Honda Accord. I have a Ford Fusion and it's pretty cool and all, but I think this Accord blows it out the water. The Accord just seems better overall
Great video thanks! What was your feeling on the adjustable dampers? How does it differ when selected? Do they engage when you put it in sport mode, can you select it on/off at any time?
Let me just say..... This is the first Accord I'd consider buying...Very tight and refined.
That's the only Accord I would get! A 10 speed automatic with a Turbo! Perfect combo! This is a good example of how shitty a CVT is compared with an automatic transmission!
Also, please take this car out at night man, we need to see those headlights lol.
Tried to catch up with one of these in my 2015 Accord lx and this thing is quick and very zippy it’s pretty much on par with the V6 version. Good job Honda !
Hey men ! you can tell me know about your camera what model and use it when you action ... thanks !
I'll be buying my Honda "A7" soon
Bridin84 to bad they didn’t actually make a hatch version:(
10:45 is me when checking my engine.
If the engine is there it's okay
I bought a 20 Touring earlier this month and I still haven't check on my engine yet haha. That's Honda for you. I will check it out tomorrow tho 😁.
@@volcalstone if you can help me please i have question!
When you chang the speed to kph in the gage cluster does it change as the same time in the HUD?
Saw this thing in person. All the models including Sport. If you think it looks not great as I used to, then give it a chance and see it in person. Definitely changed my view. It doesn't look as long and big as it does in pictures and video. This thing looks nice, and the lines and curves of the car look good in person too. Sport model looks especially nice. I'm very impressed by the new Accord
Awesome video!
Honda needs to take this detuned 2.0T with the 10spd auto and drop it into the Civic Si. It would sell like hot cakes.
If that would have happened. People would have tuned it up to 300 horsepower and then the Type R would not sell as much. Honda was smart not to do that.
MusicFerLife12 it’s for a reason. Honda is still very pure. Never has a SI come in a auto. And never will it. I’m proud that Honda hasn’t ruined it.
If it's not 6 spd, it's not SI!!!honda too smart!!
They don’t even need a 2.0t for the si, just this 10 speed.
I chose this over a Tesla Model 3. Accord Touring 2.0!!
Why?!
@@peterg5.0 Price, comfort, reliability. Plus I'm just a JDM fan.
This accord was so worth the wait!
We know it’s drives nice, now let’s hear that sound system
Dam imagine upgrading the exhaust uff
That thang is so beautiful
You should look at the Mazda 6 grand touring. Honda accord interior is the cheap copy of the mazda 6 interior.
sherlock tang Mazda 6 doesn't have android auto, ventilated seats, or remote start which is a deal breaker for me
Shane Nelson i agree with u on that
Are you blind?
they all look like BMW interiors sorry
The 2.0 is the way to go.
incredible piece of engineering from honda, as always. i just hope they get rid of that little white stain on the dash board as many people, like myself, who have ocd will be tormented constantly by it.
Sport 2.0t comes with 6spd!
Zhar it comes with a 6 speed manual or a 10 speed auto but the touring he is driving only comes with the 10 speed
every engine comes with a 6 spd manual
Only on the sport 2.0 model.
Kellan Larson wrong
I can’t get a 2.0t touring in a manual?
these are so damn nice....and i just bought a 2018 M3 lol. might be picking one of these up in a few years and getting a weekend porsche
torment12345 are you single? Lol
in forza?
Cobra SS Gold digger
Lmao if you’re willing to trade m3 contact me 😂
Hell yeah thats how u test drive a 🚗 super excited to get me one now.
It sounds perfect when revving high: just what I want an accord to sound like
The car is so look good, but the one thing I don't like is The Taillight
I like the silver wheels, I'm sick and tired of the black wheel trend
Old video but I have a 2019 2.0 Accord Touring and it’s so much fun to drive.
Me and my wife just bought a 2.0t sport, we love it. Thing is spunky on the acceleration.
First I about to fall in love with the car and then at 2:00 I see a white BMW M5 ☠☠☠
i wonder what people are thinking that are driving by him when he walks around the car talking
probably he's figuring out how to steal the car :D
I’m not even a car guy I’ve always driven trucks but I wouldn’t mind having one of these to keep miles off of my truck 💯
Trust me I took one out for a test drive and my face hurt from smiling soo much. This damn thing needs to be called the Accord Type-R.
