I have the 2013 Honda Accord Lx, and it does its job. I have it paid off this month, so now I get to fully reap the benefits of the purchase. It is a commuter car, very reliable and with good response for a four cylinder. The Bluetooth is faulty, and I get complaints from people about not hearing me clearly when I am driving. it's too bad that every new generation makes substantial improvements on the previous. You wonder why some of these changes weren't originally designed in the original car.
+TheMenghi1 It seems like for Honda, sound deadening was not a priority, despite the fact that the competition was always quieter.
I think we'd call this 2016 more than a refresh. There's no doubt it's hit a new chord with Honda buyers. Great video - thanks!
I purchased the '16 Accord V6 w/o sensing in black/black. It's a very comfortable ride. It's almost like you're floating. The shocks are very, very good, and the seats are comfortable. You can hardly feel the bumps in the road. It's also extremely roomy. You've got acres of room. I may keep this car for at least ten years (maybe more), especially if all the Accord V6 go away or switch to CVT. Oh, if you have MetroPCS, Android Auto probably won't work for you. You've gotta have a compatible phone with a decent carrier, like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.

The best generation of the Accord for me. Simple but classy
Great video. Missed your reviews!
best midsize sedan in the business.. not calling it sexier than the MAzda 6 but its got everything or more from a midsize sedan..
Great review as always Steve! Gotta love that V6 power, much more pronounced styling, interior refinement, and Honda reliability. Can you do a 2016 Toyota Rav4 review? Thanks!
loved the clip of lara peeling out! haha great stuff, good review as well!! too bad that color combo is sooo bland. Keep up the good work Steve & crew!
+07slade Thanks!
It’s The Powertrain We Wish The Maxima Still Had🤷🏽♂️😂
More lackluster sales for Acura, why spend the xtra bucks for an Acura, when you can get just as good for less moulah? BTW Steve is the Honda Accord of car reviewers, always good and reliable and never lets you down!
+pedrof830 From what I hear, Honda is in the process of changing brand identities. They in theory will make Acura their hybrid brand and bring the AWD to Honda. Who knows though.
+Trevor Thayer I wish that becomes reality.. an AWD Accord would be awesome and compete with the Legacy and Fusion AWD models
+Trevor Thayer They want Acura to upscale now to the fully Luxury level High End only.. Before it was like yeah Acura that thing you buy because you cant afford a Merc/BMW now they want to be Acura = That thing that has everything else and more from a Merc/BMW.. While Honda is upscaling to the more refined mid-high class region.
Saying "why spend the xtra bucks for an Acura" is a very silly thing to say and it clearly shows pedro doesn`t own one. The experience from just driving one and another is like freaking night and day now... Before with the Accord and TL wasn`t that blurred but right now you totally know the second you step into an Acura that it isn`t a pimped out Honda. Just look at the exceptional db ratings from the RLX! it beats the shit out of any BMW and Merc in existence in ride comfort and quietness.... Try that with the Accord...
+skirmich True, though it isn't making any sense or Acura NEEDS to differentiate quickly. The MDX is nice, but when the Pilot Touring/Elite comes into the picture as does the Accord Touring, Honda flounders in total. Why would someone pay the extra thousands for an Acura MDX which is not much different? And who would be willing to pay $50,000 for a Pilot? Same with the Accord Touring and the TLX; why pay for a $35,000 for an Accord or a couple thousand more for a TLX which isn't that much different? While Acura is improving, it unfortunately happens that Honda makes a self-competing product which in the end doesn't make sense and makes customers shy away. Take the refreshed ILX; WORLDS better than the previous one, but then the new Civic came out. Honda is going to continue have a tough time [especially with Acura] if they aren't going to improve the Acura brand and/or cut off the high end mainstream models.
banstaman Is the little stuff that makes the difference if you are only comparing interiors or style well there isn't much to say there, Honda/Acura are almost in the same level of sophistication and build quality today (Not so much before).
But then You say MDX vs Pilot? but why would you compare both? The MDX is a Performance Crossover where the Pilot is an everyday commuter... SH-AWD makes the whole difference in that scenario, There is no comparison in performance the MDX will outdrive the Pilot on every single corner and that is mainly because of Brand Differences as far as I know the new SH-AWD is a modified VTM-4 which the Pilot has (Minus the overdrive from SH-AWD).. If Honda wanted to they would have SH-AWD by now in the Pilot, Until then the MDX trumps the Pilot in the Performance category... And yes there are some people that care about that aspect in their Crossover in fact right now the New Pilot cant keep up with the 2nd Generation MDX (2007-2013) let alone trying to beat a 3rd Gen with the extra overdrive (2.7% vs 1.7%) in SH-AWD
Same scenario with the TLX... But in that case the TLX will out maneuver the Accord any day of the year, Different Suspension settings and Turn Radius make it a completely different animal when driving vigorously.
I think its safe to say there is no comparison when you compare Acura vs Honda in the Performance Section. Honda needed 2 whole generations of Accords to keep up with the 3G TL-S in 0 to 60, But when you present a Corner it all goes to hell for the Accord.
There's a vibration felt in the in the steering/pedal while switching from 4cylinders to 6cylinders
Can never go wrong with an accord. I just wish they offered the accord V6 in the CR-V. I believe the 2016 CR-V is using this new accord 4.
Wow a 6'5 300 lbs man fit comfortably in the 2016 Accord V6. I prefer the 19 in wheels though. :)
Do you own this car?
Acura's beak is contagious lol
I've a 2016 Accord EX-L V6 sedan that I purchased new. I disagree with what you said about the "kid down the street Civic wheels"... I love these wheels as they look sporty, stylish and gives a sense of motion even when the car is parked.
How does Apple CarPlay get updates?
Carplay is neat but I want something that's not so brand specific. What about Android users?
+stockjonebills Carplay works with Android too it isn't as functional though.. So you get the upper hand if you use iPhones.
The big question - you get to drive this or a Camry for a year - which do you select?
+Khu NoPie Tough decision. Both are excellent. I just prefer Honda interiors to Toyota's.
thanks
At the 3:09 mark you mentioned tire pressure monitoring system as part of Honda Sensing system?
I know that generation of Accord ditched the TPMS sensors (HALLELUJAH!!!!!) in the wheels for the indirect system which uses the existing ABS sensors to monitor tire pressure.
But for the 2016 refresh, direct TPMS (sensor in the wheels) is back if you get Honda Sensing or Honda went back to direct TPMS for all 2016 models?
Standard across the board
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes
So the direct, sensor type is standard across the board for the Accord now? Wonder what made Honda switch from indirect to direct. I hate those TPMS sensors with a passion. The indirect sensor which uses the existing ABS sensors works just fine. And you don't have to spend almost $200 for a set of sensors when the battery goes out.
+mx5hong I've sent a e-mail to my Honda guy...as soon as I hear I'll let you know.
Do not fear. They are ABS wheel sensors.
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes
Thank you for clearing that up. I was confused when you mentioned TPMS b/c they were made mandatory starting with the 2008 model year. So when you mentioned it, I thought Honda switched to a sensor TPMS for the 2016 refresh.
Man, HATE doesn't even begin to describe my hatred for those things. I understand some VW and Audi are switching to the indirect system. I hope more manufacturers and models follow.
Great car, as always, but the market has turned on the mighty Accord.
It has lost over 10% of its sales this year, falling behind the Corolla and Civic in sedan sales in the US. Will this update get back that lost share, or just stop the bleeding?
+E. S. The Camry is Toyota's equivalent to the Accord not the Corolla. Corolla and Civic are smaller less expensive models so I'm not surised they have more sales. You do get a lot of bang for the buck with an accord.
***** Fleet is a very small amount of Corolla, Civic and Camry sales. That doesn't explain Accord losing 10% in sales this year
***** Slow your ignorance.
1. To say Honda doesn't sell to fleets at all if ignorant, or just flat-out wrong. They don't have an official fleet department, but they definitely sell to businesses, if not taxi fleets. TTAC has looked into this and they sell 3-5% fleet, where Toyota overall sell about 10%, Camry and Corolla around 15%.
2. As I said, what does this have to do with Honda selling 10% less cars this year? You are being the fucking loser troll, or are just too stupid to understand what I wrote. Those sales didn't go to Toyota's Camry, which is down slightly this year. Toyota sells 10% fleet every year like a machine, not more, not less, so it is not going there.....
did you feel any vibrations from the engine during low rpms or slowing down? I heard vcm would vibrate the engine when using 3 cylinder from 6. I'm very interested in this car but would only purchase if vibrations are seamless or none at all.
+MetalsForBrunch No, I didn't. It was always very smooth and refined.
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes how's the road noise my 2010 exl road noise is periodically more pronounced at times.
+rdg091 Yes, I would like to know about the road noise too.... perhaps compared to Camry. Honda always seems to struggle on sound. I'd pay more for a quieter car.
I dont want a moon roof, chrome trim or dual exhaust on an accord v6. Will they build to my specifications??
you'll have to get a lower spec, sorry for the extremely late reply lol
@@jeanviloria1988 What're the odds that he/she even read it?
@@JamarD421 probably none 💀💀💀
You always show Apple CarPlay all the time. Try being more balanced and show Android Auto as well. We're not all iHeads.
+chancy319 But that's all I own! Send me an Android phone ;-)
TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes Okay. Give me an address to send you an Android phone. I can get you a Nexus 5.
Honda should make a Full size Accord sedan
+Shirke M They should make that accord V6 an option in the CR-V.
It is too bad this got the much hated touch screen system... not sure why Honda is going this route. It isn't loved by many and difficult to use.
Dustin Morris only a few models have the two screens. Mine is a 16 with one screen that isn't touch operated, I like it, not perfect but gets the job done
how is the sound system
+Cameron Clarke The Accord's sound system is the weakest in the class. Toyota's JBL premium system blow it so far out of the water it can't even be compared in the same conversation. Really wish they would make improvements on this, but I fear they worry about stepping on Acura's toes. A shame really, as this is the weakest part of the Accord lineup and when you're dropping 30k you want something decent. It's also hard to upgrade the Accord's system because of its use of active noise cancelling; the system goes nuts when you try to change a speaker or add an amp.
And all the hondas i had had good sound systems
oldtwins na i have a video on my channel which ahows you how to disable ANC.
Looks like an Acura with that grille.
dear god 11 trims xD
Oh those rims just don't do it for me :/
VCM is complete crap! Why pay all that money for a powerful V6 why it shuts off 3 cylinders whenever is decides??
Fuel economy. If you want all the motor just pop it into sport mode.
dean2663 and watch the mpg take a nosedive. I switched to Sport mode for my commute in town one time and got in the mid teens (around 16mpg). I'll tolerate the VCM for the boosted mpg.
Those rims :/
OMG! THIS IS ONE UGLY BORING ASS CAR!
