- Widely known as the quintessential family sedan, the latest Accord is still mighty impressive, just know its not perfect, here are our top 5 likes and dislikes on this top of the line Touring model.
YOU FINALLY DID THE ACCORD TOURING!! I'm so excited, lol.
After nearly 4 years driving my ex-l v6, Lane Watch is by far my favorite feature. A picture is worth a thousand monitors and that ain't no shit. Greatest driving aid in heavy traffic ever invented, to date.
alohawg you need to try the other alert systems they are way better especially the rear cross-traffic alert you can be parked between two Vans and still be able to back out of a parking spot without hitting pedestrians or cars passing by
alohawg I also had the lane watch in my odyssey and found it extremely useful esp when the car is full of passenger.
I don't know why Honda can't include both lane watch and blis together. I guess they're just being cheap
alohawg i agree. i love lane watch. sometimes in traffic you can catch people noose picking in traffic. lol
Agreed. I wish Honda had invested in improving the technology of this system to incorporate a left side monitoring camera and display perhaps with HUD or through the rear view mirror. The system is ahead of its time. Watch in ten years when this idea comes back around and the press get all giddy about it.
They need lane watch on both side, to be honest... Still a cool idea and definitely worth having!
They don't need Acura. To be quite honest.
Yes! they do!
The only good acura is the MDX and maybe the TLX but the need to add apple car play/android auto which makes no sense that Honda has it but Acura doesn't
That is just like saying Honda doesn't need Accord.

I love the look of it .. absolutely clean
The upgraded suspension and larger tires has shaved approximately 0.5 second off the 0-60mph.
Oh boy, here we go. It's late, but I gotta watch this one LOL.
Thank you for a thorough and accurate review. You are slowly evolving into my go-to channel for honest auto reviews.
Love this format. Great to hear a reviewer talk abt the dislikes. So many other reviewers just focus on the pros and ignore the cons of a car.
Externally, the only difference between the Accord Sport and the Touring are the headlights! The Accord Sport looks $10,000 more expensive than it is! It's a bargain
John Williams You mean the difference like 7 speaker audio compared to 4 or the lane watch camera, led headlights, LDW, FCM, and most importantly V6 power that seems alot more than one difference.
Jonathan Washington Note how I said externally
Jonathan Washington he said externally...
Jonathan Washington It has 6 speakers.
Never mind it's 4.
The summary of this car: very beautiful!
I like the dual screen layout, don’t know what the problem is tbh.
Yeah idk how people hate it so much. I have a 2014 ex-l coupe and I think they nailed the dual screen look a lot better than most companies
Jbols 18 exactly
i have a 2016 accord touring V6 and agree with you 100% on everything you said. pros & cons. its a greatt all around car though. & one more con, the sound system. its not bad, but its not great either, for $35k you'd expect a better sound system.
Finally! I can't wait for your review of this car! I'm seriously considering getting this car.
I love my 2016 Honda Accord coupe touring. I love the lane watch camera and use it a lot. it allows me to monitor the car traveling in my blind spot on the road. and watch my rear at ATMs. I like it better than a little blind spot lights in a corner on a car mirrors. I love the two monitor screens as it allows me to customize 2 top monitor with custom pictures and give my car more personalized feel. I don't need the volume knob and think the deletion of it gives the dash a cleaner better flowing look. it's also easier to wipe off the dash. I don't like that volume knob look. when driving it is easier to use the volume controls on the steering wheel anyway. almost everything that you disliked that are minuses for the Accord are things that I love about it. luckily the coupe does have paddle shifters. I agree there should be heated steering wheel and cooled seats. I believe the coupe should have had heated rear seats. though I have my personal choices excellent review!
Just purchased this car. I would like to add to your wish list for the next generation accord USB charging ports for the rear passengers. Also fully agree that ventilated seats are equally important as heated. One with out the other is the ying with out the yang. I live in S. Fla and it get really hot in the summer.
Thank you for your reviews.
So the volume control on the steering wheel doesn't work?
I LOVE MY HONDA. 300k miles is my goal.
How are you doing on it?
@@wizard101jack it's holding up well. I have a Camry I drive as well so my mileage isn't high. Only 31k on the dash so far
@@PLATINUM2U on the Toyota or Honda? If it's the Honda then you have a looong way to go. Surely it will as long as you want.
@@PLATINUM2U update?
Surprising...First time I ever agreed with the reviewer on everything, no BS. Keep up the videos.
I love my Honda 🔰❤
Me too!
The lane-watch camera is awesome.
I have a coupe version with V6 and 6-speed manual, oh my, what a great car to drive, getting close to 150 000km, and no issues whatsoever
I want one!!!! This exact color combination looks great with the black accents and chrome. Need to pay off my MDX and later pick one up!! I'll be really sad if Honda does away with the v6 motor.
I will be real disappointed with Honda if they don't make the six cylinder anymore to I'm not a 4-cylinder fan
I agree, having that V6 option is the best thing ever, it's really smooth and NA which is preference compared to a turbo motor. I've never driven a Honda V6 but have driven two Acura V6 motors which were and are a great piece of engineering.
No paddle shifters is pretty disappointing.. but I am excited for the review, this car is beautiful!
Paddle shifters on Sport/Sport Special Edition trim only.
liking the drone's unique camera shots
Well the upper screen can be personalized( choose your wallpaper), and there are volume buttons on the steering wheel which I use all the time, so there's really 3 cons left
My biggest fear is they will ruin the next gen Accord with "Style." Although I like the new Hondas that are coming out, I feel like this gen Accord will once again be timeless like the 5th and 6th, and hell almost all Accords. PLEASE PLEASE Honda don't slope the roof line and go too crazy with "aggressive" style. That is not what the Accord is about. This one has an almost BMW quality of ageless design. Off my Accord soap box lol.
P.S. Considering how big a deal they made at the CR-V press launch about the volume knob, and seeing as how the new Odyssey has it, I fully expect to see it on the next gen Accord. Counterpoint to you Sofyan, blind spot monitoring is not needed when great visibility comes standard!
Honda Accord just got a solid 5 likes from Redline. That's all I needed to hear. Honda is just BOSS.
when will the 2018 honda accord be unveiled?
it won't be long till this "premium" design is on every damn street.
what u think about the new Impreza sport sedan 17'?
Just woke up and its 2am here in ny good video to watch before getting out of bed
I like the double screeens .. I keep the lane watch feature on the top screen at all times.
I am buying this one not year 2020 but year 2017
Completely agree about lack of blind spot detection. We bought the Accord Sport and a Mazda CX-5 at the same time at the same price point. CX-5 has blind spot detection (love it!), Accord does not. Otherwise, a great car...
Sexy ass car. Sexiest Accord by far. 6th gen coupe v6 second.
Kid, you haven't seen the 2008-2012 model right?
I agree, this generation is my favorite, also. I liked the 03, 04 next. I hated 2012 the most. It was too big and bulky looking
I kind of get a 6G sedan vibe off of the 9G for some reason...
@@midnightmystery544 from what I heard, the same designer who designed 6th gen accord also helped design this one
I always said the heated steering wheel was a miss on the Touring. The Coupe has paddle shifters.
Please do a review on the manual sport mode tool!!!
How is road noise though? This makes it or breaks it for me
Jason Stoner Its quiet and smooth. Love this car
My two top cons for the Accord touring are: lack of paddle shifters, and you can't get a black interior unless you pick brown, black or silver exterior.
P.s. the red guages in the Sport sedan are to die for!!!
I still prefer the 2015-17 Camry, both my parents & I own one, but not a bad looking car. I sat in one recently at the LA Auto Show & my least favorite thing about it is that it has too much of the shiny piano black trim. That would drive me nuts keeping it clean all the time.
how much is it?
does anyone know what I could get this car for out the door?
Hello Friends. I got this car black with black. I know new buyers get distracted with after the purchase videos and opinions. Well, here's what I say and why I choose the accord touring. Some may say the mazda 6 has the best interior, but others have choosen the accord. Here's the catch. The 6 might go to the sporty side but the Accord touring can attract the sport and luxury side of you. Hence, it will attract those inclined toward luxury whereas those people won't give the 6 a second thought. However you slice it, a V6 will outperform any four cylinder. The V6 is also a safe bet for long term reliability. So what if you want a sport machine? Here's what the pro's say: Get the Accord touring and pay it off as soon as you can. Then, as a second car, you can look into a mustang. The mustang will outsport any Japanese four cylinder, but you will have your accord for reliable transportation. Hope this helps folks.
I own a 2014 Honda Accord coupe V6. Love the car. It comes with a volume nub. But one thing I can't understand about Honda is the audio. They need to offer a true premium audio system. Even with the premium 7 speakers they offer , they sound ok. They used to have a 2012 civic and now 2014 accord. I swapped out all their speakers cuz they just don't cut for me.
Can't wait to see your review of this car!
I've always been impressed with Honda Accord interiors. Look almost like the new BMW ones. But i still can't think of any models that can beat Mercedes interiors in the same price range.
If you were choosing between this current Gen Accord or the 2018 Camry (due out this summer) which would you be inclined to pick and why?
victor bozzo We can't comment yet since we haven't driven the 2018 Camry. When we do, we'll be sure to let you guys know :)
Redline Reviews, I was merely thinking of the amount of added features. I'm thinking once you drive it you'll suggest the Camry as it looks like they're really making a play for Honda with their 2018 offering. 😉
It would probably be better to wait and pick between the 2018 Camry and the 2018 Accord when they both become available.
Likes-Speed, Acceleration
Dislikes-Price
Honestly, if I had one I'd take these wheels and put them on a TLX. Why Honda/Acura can't offer these wheels on the TLX I have no idea.
Paddles on an accord ? Stretching for flaws. Looks miles better than the Camry. These cars catch my eye with the touring/sport package every time I'm out driving.
This one of my favorite mid-sized sedans and my second favorite sedan that Honda has ever built. My favorite Honda sedan is the new Civic hatch
Sofyan how does this compare to the TLX V6 non fwd? Does the Acura feel more well put together, quieter, and better handling, or does the V6 Accord feel better??
Meant to say non SHAWD :) sorry bout that
Could u do a review on this car ??
Awesome Review Of 2017 Honda Accord Touring. 😁
Lovely reliable car, but too expensive to insure. In many states it's even more expensive than a luxury car's insurance for some reason.
Boba Fett how's that possible
Miko stolen more I guess
Miko Yeah, thieves are after these cars
Boba Fett i pay. $942 for the entire year. V6, and full coverage .plus i have mechanical breakdown insurance included.
My brother is in LA, pays $2100 a year full coverage for his 2013 Accord! 0 accidents/tickets, 25 y/o driver. It's mainly cuz all the little kids drive used Civics and the Accords and use it to deliver pizza. I live close to him and I pay $900 yearly for my 2011 Camry and I am younger than him.
Wait, I thought this car has Blind Spot monitoring as an option??
I'm glad you are finally doing a review of the new touring model. I just picked one up on pearl white and love it. I watch all of your reviews and was wondering if you would get a chance to review this model.
Sofyan, if you were in the market for an affordable sedan, what make/model/trim would you get?
Papa Sean Honestly, we'd think hard over a 6-speed Accord Sport and Mazda6. Both are around $25,000. You could also throw in a Passat R-Line into the mix.
Damn Honda went crazy with the buttons on that steering wheel.
Confused between 6mt Coupe and sedan.
Sedan has all the tech and more spacious in the back for my kids. But The manual coupe gives more control and more fun to drive. Which one to go with?
How do you turn on the sport mode
Move shift lever to "S"
Can u do a review for a 2017 Nissan Rogue?
Are they going to dump the V6 in 2018 ?
That's the rumor, anyway.
Exterior design is mu number 1 choice too. Hot hot hot!
redline can you review the 2017 toyota highlander se
love the double screens
sofyan can you do a review of the 2017 toyota highlander
HELLO SOFYAN. I wrote several times while I was looking for a car but you may have been too busy to answer. However, I got my car and it is exactly the car here, but mine is black with black leather. Could you please do a full review of this car? Many of your fans want the same. Also, what would you buy for yourself? This, or the Mazda 6 GT? I put the two head to head and I got this. Hope you have time to answer.
I absolutely love the camera lane watch I hope they keep it
I was just telling my bf right before you got to cons, infotainment. The two screens is a good idea in theory but it is not executed well. Even Ford's Sync is way better designed. Keep up the good work Sofyan!
Coolest looking headlights.
Honda does offer heated steering wheel for the 2018 Accord and 2017 and up CR-V in the canadian market EX-L and up, I think it’s because Canada is a cold country
Last hurrah V6 and 6 speed AT!
Great video. Luckily 2-3 of your cons will be rectified in the next accord. But I hate not having cooled seats when I'm selling these! All the competition has them on their top trims
thats funny you have taken the tail light as your display pic. i noticed that the led bar do not line up properly. thats kinda weird
That's one thing I noticed with this generation. There's always something misaligned.
My biggest complaint for the Touring Model is not offering 6speed manual.
Where is it built? If from Lincoln Alabama, sorry I'm out.
Marysville, Ohio.
Great vid. I have a 15 Accord Touring 👌🏾
I'm surprised no one else has noticed the design resemblance to Mercedes-Benz.. the rear is almost identical to the E-Class and the rims designs look like the 18in wheels they offer as well.
Accord 2006-2007 Good !!!))))! after No good!!(((
Getting To Know 2017 Honda Accord.
review a 17 fusion
He's done a review already, but I want to see top 5 likes/dislikes.
NiharM77 only the sport. I want to see him review a volume trim like what I just got
I hope you compare it to the mazda 6 on the review
My local Honda dealer will not sell you a car without the wheel locks. It's like a $50 dollar option that's non negotiable.
Then you should walk out until the very end over that $50 and inform the sales manager you'll be going to their competitor to purchase the same car without their nonsense. Chances are, they will leave them on the car for free. Also, the factory wheel locks should be avoided because there Honda dealers have master keys to unlock them and these keys are regularly stolen and in use by organized crime rings.
Hey Sofyan. I agree with most of these especially that last dislike. Also, the CVT is crap as far as durability. Had a 13 Accord EX-L as a commuter. Ended up trading it. Had nothing but issues.
The V6 doesn't have a CVT. This is a totally different package than the I4 model altogether.
Absolutely correct. The power was great but did not want that model to sit in DC area bumper to bumper traffic. Also, the Accord Hybrid was not out when I bought my 13 EX-L
2012 edition is All one Really needs plus mine still has heated seats comes with the volume knob and power everything
The Power Of Dreams 👌
I love my 2014 accord sport. My only problem with Honda is that they have the lowest quality speakers of any cars. Toyota has JBL. Ford has Sony. Honda, make a deal with a speaker company and put them in all the vehicles.
Hmong Hawj like Bose or Harman Kardon
Hmong Hawj u should've got the exl better music system 😂😂
Salky Arthurs does the EX-L sound system really sound better? I've seen where so many people say every audio system in Accords are terrible. Or are these people just expecting it to sound like a high end system?
I have a Touring, and I can agree, the sound system sucks. If my Touring has the "upgraded" system, I don't even want to imagine what the normal stereo system is like.
the Honda fanboys are out in force today
super fantastic Mini review
cant wait for 2018 redesigned camry
At this point they should get rid of Acura and give the exclusive technologies to hondas instead. I would love to see an accord with either a manual or the 8 speed dct with sh-awd and better looking led s.
Know this is late. But l love Lane Watch. It is the only thing in which I disagree with Sofyan. (Well about the only thing)
WOOOOOO A HONDA!!!! Finally 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
So sad they stop the v6 models. Can’t ever have good things in America.
i would buy a v6 accord but the dual screens are just plain ugly and dumb idea i wonder if you can put the lower section of lower trim so you only have one screen
I'm disappointed, because there's no paddle shifters for the v6 sedan models
Colour is great, interior clean, midlle consol overdone but it's no big deal I guess.
I have this car and i love it but I absolutely hate the seats. It's very uncomfortable on long rides. I had to get seat cushion for support and I'm even considering getting the seats replaced or something...any one else have this problem with the seats?
Vannary Tran no problems with my seats. I Have a Touring and a 6-speed v6 coupe.
Give me the 2017 Ford Fusion Sport! around the same price and the Sport has awd and much more engine, plus IMO the Fusion looks better and has a better interior. The accords interior still looks sub par
Yes and you will get Ford's unreliability, leaky turbos etc.
