I'm so glad you include drive-by shots of the car you review. Too many TH-cam reviewers just stick a camera on the windows and talk for 20 minutes.
That's because it's easy and doesn't require anyone else ;-)
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes aloha when are we going to review the new CR-V touring model it's best of its class now and I hear it's super quiet
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes they have improved all-wheel drive system to now send up to 40% of the torque to the rear wheels
I'll have that video review up later tonight. Check back before 10pm EST.
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes okay perfect I look forward to seeing the video
Just got this today in Silver - 2017 Accord Sport SE manual. I absolutely love it.
I just purchased this exact car, oh my do I love this smooth as silk manual. The reason I purchased this car was the intentional lack of electronics. When a car has less electronics onboard, you are less likely to have a "glitch". I also love that it has a naturally aspirated motor, this motor has been around awhile and is easily parted out if I need to get a part down the road. Steve, I generally watch videos of cars that I am interested in, however I watch everyone of your videos because of your ability to describe what the car you are reviewing makes you feel. Great job and look forward to all of your future reviews.
Kerem Kilic Congrats on your purchase! Thanks for the kind words.
Best midsize sedan with one if not the highest resale value
Its HUGE...like a grandpa cruiser!
When it seems like just about everyone with a GoPro is doing car "reviews" on TH-cam, it's nice to have a professional review like yours by someone that can speak intelligently about cars.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Wholeheartedly agree!
Test drove one of these yesterday. CVT model. And I absolutely fell in LOVE with it. Honda took the CVT trans and made it feel sporty. Go figure lol. Was looking into a manual but the smoothness of the CVT while still feeling sporty won me over! Plus it'll be good with the girlfriend and kid!
I've test driven a few cars and the Accord without question was the best! Looks nice. Feels amazing to drive. Very grounded and sporty for a family car. Not a ton of bells and whistles which can be good. It's a drivers car. And I love that!! Can't wait to get one!!
Steve you are the man. If I could have Alex on Autos thoroughness, your voice, succinctness, and commentary, and SubaruWRXfans enthusiasm and emotion... = perfect car reviews. But I still definitely will always check your take on a car before considering it. Keep up the good work!
Every time I see an Accord, I wonder why Acura exists at all. This car is better than the ILX in every way, and it looks better than the entire Acura lineup.
Because Honda doesn't have the snob appeal that Acura buyers want. To some people, it just sounds better to say "I drive an Acura" than "I drive a Honda".
agree 100%
Interior of the acura is much better quality than honda
Drive an Acura... Its always about 3-5 years ahead of an Accord. Honda named its high end cars Acura in the US to align its market segment with Infiniti and Lexus in the late 80s.
If you compare Lexus to Toyota and Infiniti to Nissan, you will likely see significant improvements,but when it comes to Acura (vs Honda) I see nothing but Korean-like car with couple luxury features.Lexus is aggressive and powerful,Infiniti is aggressive and powerful,Acura is small,not aggressive,neither powerful,just expensive piece of intriguing name.
Great review and beautiful shots on the car! Subscribed!
Thanks for the great video Steve! Very well done and informative. I have the 6 speed manual and it drives like a dream !
Thanks, Mike!
Fantastic review, concise, detailed and thorough, and without the annoying/distracting muzak soundtrack that many reviewers use! Also great interior/exterior and driving shots. I love this car. Just test drove a slightly used 2017 Accord LX with the CVT and I thought it drove very well. Trying to decide between the CVT and the 6-speed. I've mostly been a manual driver but the CVTs really work smoothly. After your review, I'm leaning toward the Sport over the LX. Thank You!!
I had a 2014 accord and was in a relatively bad accident. Long story short, i spun out and went flying into a ditch. I lost both side mirrors, both the front a rear bumpers, and the rear windshield. The tow truck came and pulled me out the ditch and then he said “ well, i have some good news, your car is still good to drive”. So i continued to drive that car without repairing anything for another 8 months until i was deployed and had to sell it. The reliability of honda accords is amazing. I bought a 2017 accord sport after i came home, and i cant imagine myself driving anything else.
Love the idea of this Honda Accord with a stick trans! Awesome to drive ..great video - thanks!
Beautiful car. I'm just now able to get my hands on one. Thanks for the review.
If you don't care about the title then you can get a "Rebuilt" title one for 1/2 price. I pick one (2017 Sport CVT) this weekend 10K and its only had 19K on it. It was rear end and only the trunk, 2 tail light, bumper cover was replaced since it was hit high. It runs, drives and handle awesome. The car looks the same as this black one on review here.
I have this exact car (2016) and boy is this thing a joy to drive for something that's relatively large in size. I love the freaking interior of the sport model. Super simple and easy to use. The large 8" screen serves as a sharp backup camera with three different views. Cmon Honda why didn't you just add keyless entry and push start for US buyers????
I've driven mine from Austin, TX to Vegas and back on stock tires. Currently have 17000 miles on the clock, have not rotated the tires and they are just as good as new. I will rotate at 20k. I think the 19" tires will hold up just as much as any other stock tires do, if not better
love that it has a manual option.
This Accord is amazing, fun as well 189hp is all you need in a Honda just have fun, and when you add the the exhaust and intake which would add more power and torque, I kinda of like the 2013 accord sport styling, but this one looks very luxurious for some reason.
How about the coupe
Save The Manuals!!!!
Does this model have Sirius Radio ?
This car was perfect in looks and package except I would have liked to see a standard moonroof. I hate and I mean hat the looks ot the 2018 and electronic e brake.
This is EXACTLY the car I drive. After 6 years and 105K miIes, I still love it. PLUS, I can't really afford any better... so I watch your video quite often to remind me that my car is pretty a good one :) Thank you Steve!
Right on!
Hello Steve, I currently own a 2014 Honda Accord EX, while I enjoy the push to start & sunroof features I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a 2017 Honda Accord Sport or 2017 Honda Accord EX-L model. Would you recommend me sticking with my older 2014 car or pulling the trigger on one of the 2017 cars? Thanks David
david786 buy a 2018. I want the 2017
Really want one of these, as I prefer simple cars. I don't need all the latest tech that I won't use, just a manual and music in a reliable car
Quality video
Are they doing away with the 6 cylinder coupe as well? Because I was planning on getting that in manual.
Starting in 2018, no more 6 cylinder engines.
Steve had you heard that the v6 option is gone? I haven't seen that out there yet for the tenth generation
Rumor I read from the researchers at Automotive News. They're forecasting the 1.5T and 2.0T engines for the next Accord.
I've been shopping around for one of these, and the 6 speed manual's a tough to find in my area. Cant decide if I want to get this one or just save up more and get the 2018 with the 2.0 t engine
Update: Finally found one in San marino red
Lucky I'm in Canada we have so much features in our sport model. ACC, LKA, sunroof, heated seats, apple carplay/android auto, push start and I can't remember all of them.
actually heated seats do nothing, useless
Ziying Wang Oh is that right?
they work for me i love them
Average ya the heated seats are just ok
Average yeah I’m hating.. I just bought a 17 sport special edition in obsidian blue pearl and it lacks interior features but it is gorgeous in every other way
Thanks for the review. Would you take this over a base model Charger?
I would!
What about auto Accord vs. the base Charger? :-D
Hey Steve, my brother said the 4 cylinder accord and civics are having problems mainly because of the CVT transmission, he's a head technician at Honda in North Carolina
Another reason to opt for the 6MT!
ssr1680 don't worry, my brand new 2017 sport has a 100,000 warranty on it.
I bought my first brand new car in December 2015, a 2016 Accord Sport 6MT. Best car I ever owned. Traded it in for Acura piece of shit and lost a lot of money but more than money, lost that car. I'll never forgive myself. I envy the person who owns it now.
Y u sold it 😂
HUGE car! Wow!
I wonder if you can build this engine up with k20 heads etc like what tuners do, and get 260HP? Do suspension, smaller wheels, better rubber, LSD and basically build an Accord Type R and this would be so fun and unique.
Nope, you can't. There is very little you can do with this engine and not worth the cost of doing it when you can just buy the V6 model off the lot with 278hp on tap.
Chris Sorreda Or you could get a V6, save money, and not void the warranty....
Or you can get the Sport with 6 speed and actually DRIVE the car instead of just pressing buttons.
Can't wait to buy one of these in white. Will most likely leave it stock though, the reliability and 40 mpg mixed with great styling and fun to drive nature are a great mix for a long term daily.
That's what I just ordered 2017 white sport
A great sedan.
Why does the car look like it's customized?
Because it's the sport package
i just order one 2017 accord sport in canada
Does this setup offer the option of Android Auto/Apple Car Play?
Jmpaul26 on EX trims and up it does
Jack Tran So then, no manual with those tech features...
Jmpaul26 Get a coupe manual or an EX manual, the ex has the tech features but no leather
I can't get more than 320 miles out of a tank with the cvt
They're dropping the V6... That sucks.
keri ellerbe that's got to be a lie
keri ellerbe it's too much and they probably aren't making enough money on it on sales like the 4 banger
Prove of that? Camry is still available with a v6 so you can certainly bet that the Accord will have a beautiful, strong, efficient, quick and very reliable V6 option.
+nevessl wrong no v6 available any more
from what I hear the 2.0 turbo is very comparable
I prefer a car without too many distractions of tech. It is a very good looking car and well performing.
I really hope Honda doesn't at rid of the v6 there the best engines
Sadly, everyone in this segment has/or will be going in that direction.
Weird how Honda is going turbo engines when they made some of the best naturally aspirated engines in the past (NSX, S2000)
I was thinking about getting a 2017 Accord Sport special edition with the manual mainly because of the motor but instead I got a 2018 Civic Sport hatchback. And while I love the Civic's practicality, performance, and efficiency I love the sound of that K24 more than the Civic's L15 Turbo.
I would not be surprised if this is the very last generation of accord that is available in the US with a manual transmission. I hope I'm wrong.
Well I'm one of the "save the manual" people. Hope your wrong also! Love the Accord Sport just the way it is - well optional Sunroof would be nice and (standard) rear vents for passengers.
modmatt1 I drive a 2015 Mazda 6 with a 6-speed manual myself. I know that if I want manual sedans to keep being sold then I have to do my part and buy one. Unfortunately though, Honda and Mazda are literally the only two companies left in the US who will sell you a midsize sedan with a stick anymore. Let's hope that attracts just enough of a niche market to keep that option around.
KentB27 Ford Fusion & VW Passat offer manuals.
Here in the US, both Ford and VW discontinued manuals for their "mid sized" vehicles - the Fusion and Passat back a few years ago now. Would need to find used and they are tough to find, so choices are extremely limited. Either the Honda Accord, Mazda 6 and if they add 6 speed manual (upgrade from 5 speed) to the Crosstrek - one of these are in my future as of now.
80srockerable Not anymore. Only the Mazda 6 and Honda Accord offer manual transmissions now.
#savethemanuals, Honda has a homerun w/this car and it's been on my "next car list", right next to a Golf SportWagen S 5M, and a Mazda6 Touring 6M. I like the Honda formula, but I am not thrilled that I ONLY get to choose 4 colors w/the manual transmission. CVT buyers get 8. WTF Honda? I know this is how they "do business" in the Accord line, but I think it is stupid. I want a blue exterior, black (dark interior) and a manual. I can't have that in the Accord Sport w/the manual. The Civic Hatch Sport gets all 7 colors w/either transmission. Other than the limited colors, the car is a win in my book. My next battle is bringing over (back) the Mazda6 Wagon. Can you help me out w/that Steve? Thanks for the review.
You're right. Manual buyers usually get the shaft when it comes to options and features. I've heard nothing about Mazda bringing the wagon back. The MAZDA6 is scheduled for a redesign in 2018 as a 2019 model.
So the next gen Accord will be built off the Civic architecture??? I think Honda is taking a big risk doing this, or they're very secure about that Civic platform to do this.
It's THAT good. I think it'll be a smart move. We'll see.
Civic always was the base for the CRV. But now to stretch it out to make the accord is strange. Like toyota doing the same with the Corolla /Camry.
No Android Auto / Apple Carplay?
Negative.
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes w
The fact that this car didn't come with push button start killed it for me. Like, come on Honda. I can get a base Altima with push button start. Why can I not get it on a Honda Accord sport. Ugh.
MrWiggles16 you're right about the cheap plastics
Such an amazing looking car for the price. Really wanted to get this but no sunroof and to a lesser extent Apple Carplay killed it for me, I went for the Civic instead.
Mr. Hand You do know you could've gotten the EX with the manual and would've gotten all of the features that you mentioned
Yeah but the EX lacks the visual sporty touches especially with those hideous small looking rims and the performance bump the Sport has.
everything is negotiable at the dealer...if you don't like the wheels, see if the dealer will "deal" on different (Honda) wheels; or buy for 18s/19s of your choosing from your favorite tire/wheel website...wheels/tires are always worth something to someone and your EX stockers can be sold to offset the purchase of the new wheels/tires...wheels/tires are the easiest thing to change on a car and shouldn't be a deal breaker
K03sport The Sport is more than rims. It has a spoiler, dual exhausts, and is tuned differently.
***** EX sedan. Love it! Has all the equipment I want that the Accord Sport lacked at a much cheaper price and with a fresher design.
dont really like lip spoiler...i just upgraded my accord w wing spoiler thats bigger w break light. its just stunning. its little pricy but worth it
daeshik cho that spoiler makes it ricey
psychobillionz u jealous? Wat car u drive
daeshik cho haha jealous? I drive a 16 M6
psychobillionz bimmer drivers are the worst drivers...so much arrogance
daeshik cho being arrogant makes me a bad driver ok cool
You're not a fan of the "save the manuals". Interesting comment. I'm all for progress. Matter of fact, I wish Honda offered the Accord with the 8-speed double clutch from the Acura line-up. However, your range of 450 miles in an inline-4 is interesting. I just purchased an Accord Coupe, V6 6-speed manual. I'm getting a range of 450 miles, as well, due to the manual in an engine that is approximately 50% bigger. Thus, not only does the manual afford me performance, if the driver is disciplined, it can afford a "real" high MPG return. Thus, we need to "save the manuals". Great review.
I'm not against manuals...don't get me wrong. I love them in the right car. But the whole movement ends up sounding like a bunch of old men railing against progress. Hey, we gave up our rotary dial phones, right? They were more "engaging" to dial ;-)
ErwinSchrodinger64 you might also have a bigger gas tank dude.
edgar flores
No, it doesn't. Both the inline-4 and V6 Accords have 17.3 gallon gas tanks. However, my father has the inline-4 sedan with the CVT transmission and he can get up to a range of 550-650 miles on that particular model if driven correctly.
We have to get more of the younger generation interested in driving manuals. Don't know who suddenly decided that every car was going to be an automatic but this is getting ridiculous.
Isn't the camry the best selling and most popular sedan in America
The Accord wins over the past 40 years in total. Also, Accord has a three-year streak as the most popular car in America with individual retail car buyers.
What did you mean at the bottom of the ladder?
Least options.
Can someone help me out please...I have a 2017 Accord sport cvt automatic. I love the car minus the cvt. BUT...whenever I put the car in cruise control...the car pulls to the left. Only present in cruise control...can someone chime in on wtf is going on. Thanks!!
Did you have this figured out?
It's sad when this bodystyle gets more love than the 2018 ugly Accord LMAO
Save the manual
26x625.87
main reason I got this vehicle is the simplicity. no touch screen, not overloaded with bs sensors or electronics. it gives an awesome driving experience with the manual. without all those bs sensors and the manual the driver does almost everything traditionally. manual is not made for the masses and people that cant figure it out where the blinkers are. I have the 4 cylinder and its enough power for the streets we live in where the speed limit doesn't allow to push your 3-400hp waste of resources vehicle. I am watching this video in Dec 2020 and I have the car since mid 2018. did a lot of upgrades if u wanna call them like that. got the 2017 USA version couse I didn't liked the more conservative Canadian accord sport. asian accord is mostly towards the exl trim in the USA. great simple video. cheers
I think the Mazda 6 is a better more fun car.
If Honda could just add a touch screen with Apple CarPlay I would consider it. But wait! There's a new 2018 model. I'll wait.
The Car Crazy Guy -scterka- There is, in the EX model and above. The EX can also be had with the manual
But you won't get the Sport touches.
I am getting a white V6 Touring.
Did he just say 25K to 50K? Wtf? 5:07
Cvt has a 7th gear
I wanted one so bad until I heard cvt, nope
Accord with 19 in wheels... that's kinda weird
Looks sharp though, right?
Dre Dilla how??
Don't get rid of the v6 Honda !
Lukas Trapp
it'll probably be a civic type r engine tuned a little differently. so maybe a 4 banger but might be good for 300hp. maybe.
Stephen Nichols uh, no. That engine is going only into the Civic Type R and there are already a lot of complaints regarding huge amounts of turbo lag. No thanks. I would rather own a Golf R for about the same price ;-)
Dan K
the new civic type r isn't out yet. and i did say tuned differently. the new engine is speculated to produce about 320hp on the civic type r. i would very highly doubt the new accord would have the same power, exact same engine. besides is just a guess of mine. we won't know until gonna tells us for sure
Type R is already out in Europe.
They wouldn't if people purchased them. How often do you see a V6 Accord. Rarely......
Just a stripped down Accord with sports appearances. Honda can keep that Accord. Thats just awful for a 2017
wait really? just 189hp? 2017?
nova123 it’s actually pretty fast
first
25k to 50k, wtf
Mazda 6 manual trans much better than Accord.Accord has annoying chopping ride.
K...
4 cylinder without turbo = FAIL
This model has below average reliability
interior is just a drab, ugly steering wheel, it looks like a sporty limo not sport sedan. styling is just ok , too much chrome looks like too much lipstick. Positive is that it does not have CVT.
Hater
No, they are not all 4cyl. I just bought a V6 sport touring
