Good morning everyone! We’ve been so excited to show you this video on the all-new 2023 Accord! SUV may be what Americans are buying, but the sedan is far from dead! We’re looking forward to seeing what Toyota has cooked up for the next generation Camry as well!
I cannot wait for the new camry either!
Well they definitely sped up the dead process with how boring and uneventful this car is
First of all great video as always. I may not always agree with your opinions, but for the most part I do having said that I am the biggest Honda fan out there. Why specifically the CRV did they get rid of the rear releases in the back also why the CRV and the Accord my absolute favorite vehicles of all time want 50% of their vehicles all hybrid? I am not against hybrids I like them I used to have the original Toyota Prius from 2005. Having said that hybrids are a lot more expensive to purchase with inflation out of control. This is a bad idea for the sake of price you can’t force people to buy that unless that’s what they want. I think it’s dumb based on their new trim system. I have a better idea what they should’ve done is why can’t they have an LX through touring gas model and then maybe through an LX through touring hybrid model. they should have another higher power engine at least for the accord. Maybe the CRV and I think the accord, especially how modern we live these days needs all-wheel-drive for those who do not want an SUV. What are your thoughts?
Sofyan, Great review. I stated in someone else's video that the front end looks very very very generic. The previous edition in the right trim looks way more stately and unique. You knew you were looking at a Honda Accord then versus guessing what generic car is approaching now! The rear has a very Audi A7 vibe but I do appreciate the new interior now looking cohesive and cleaned up across the Honda range especially with a traditional shifter!!!
7.7 seconds is not ok for the accord, be honest with your subscribers. You used to be
No more 2 liter turbo sport?! That was the best thing about the Accord.
MPG is most important to the overall market. Hybrids had the highest mark ups and some still do.
That was, for less than 10% of its buyers
CAFE plus when you sell less than 10% it’s hard to justify
And thats why it not selling
Honda threw a pass at the 2-yard line instead of handing the ball off to beast mode🤦🏾♂️
Honda went from having THE sportiest FWD mid sized sedan offering, to straight appliance in just two quick generations. Stunning.
The 2022 10th gen 2.0T, 10 speed auto was top Accord. Add a Hondata tune to that and you get type R performance. The previous v6 was good but not as fast
These powertrains were available last gen too. You guys are being a hit dramatic
@@ItsAlive111 V6 accorded looked better and sounded better
@@ciello___8307 It's the fact they flat out removed the option for the high-power engine that is the problem. You no longer have a choice but slow and slower.
That's a good summary. Who / how does Honda redesign stuff? They ain't talking to consumers.
It’s crazy to see how the release of this Accord differs from the release of the 10th gen. Back then, Honda was justifying the transition to a turbo 4 claiming how comparable it was to the V6. If you even remember Sofyan did a drag race between a 17 and 18 Accord. Now Honda has lost all of the soul that made a Honda a Honda (not even to mention the rather bland look). It really feels like a step backwards, and I’m not here for it 😢
Did you buy an Accord 2.0T? If not, don’t complain about it being discontinued. It was a slow seller and Honda knows their market.
I totally agree. They care about the civic enough to make an SI and a type R, but they can't at least keep the 2.0T engine, like why lol. Not only that but while the new civic looks relatively good looking, this new accord is a yawnfest. Yes the interior is nice, but the exterior is so uninspiring, its like the designers purposely tried to make it look boring.
@@sshhddoo9892 the civic looks awful. I
@@jr1885 Actually yes, we currently have an 18’ Accord 2.0T Touring. We’ve had it for almost 5 years and it’s been great. I feel that Honda is self sabotaging claiming it’s a “slow seller” when every single 2.0T that makes it to the dealer sells. Currently there are only 20 new 2.0T Tourings for sale in the whole country. Although supply chain has caused some set backs, that’s not a rational claim to make knowing sales figures would be down due to unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, we have two 21’ Sports with the 1.5T which is adequate, but in no way stacks up against the 2.0T that’s sadly been discontinued.
I know companies change as time progresses, but I just feel this is the wrong way to go seeing Honda has prided themselves being the “sporty” offering for many years. This is just my opinion coming from someone who’s had 10 Hondas and 5 Acuras.
@@jr1885 did you buy one? If not, don't voice against us about the 2.0T because we have one.
The top of the line new Accord with the most powerful engine is now officially slower than a new Prius, good job Honda. Must be very proud
Is it really?
This drives better than any accord ever,yall guy's don't even know what you are talking about,you just blind hating on the accord,this is better than the old accord at everything apart from straight line speed,it is also faster than the previous 1.5.
@@AbuBawa-sw1ut is the “new” 1.5T non hybrid really faster than the “old” 1.5T?
That engine noise sounds awful. Like a vacuum cleaner about to die.
I will say this: As a Honda enthusiast, If Toyota still has their Camry TRD 300hp V6 models, then I’m never going to look back at the pitiful 192hp 1.5T Accord and this 206hp hybrid. I loved the older 278hp 2017 V6 Honda Accord’s and even the 252hp 2018 2.0T Accords that used to win drag races against Ecoboom Mustangs; but if this pitiful 192hp is all they got that’s not a hybrid, then I am no longer on the market for an Accord, and the Accord is dead to me.
I understand that not enough people bought these higher hp products, but it’s just sad to see the performance options of V6, V8, and 2.0T disappearing.
Toyota V6 is next to go. Performance buyers are going electric. Or stepping up to BMW or other German.
@@davevolz6138 toyota 4 cylinder will be much better and way more powerful than this minion motor !!
@@ibrahimbashir6634 the Toyota turbos won’t perform very well. They’re always slower than most

@@ibrahimbashir6634for a fact 2.4 turno they hace and the 2.5 na way better
The cancellation of the 2.0 is a real bummer. Relatively affordable fun and practical. Now it looks almost absurdly long (in pics at least) which I guess is good for space but looks more awkward than last gen, especially the huge front overhang
It’s longer but the sport back styling limits rear headroom. Plus the front overhang is just too much lol
Yeah, I'm really bummed about losing the 2.0T for the Accords. I understand that Honda is really pushing for electrification and the take rate for the 2.0T was low, but I would've appreciated the option to have that engine for those that really wanted it
I think it’s a smart business move, the existence of acura now makes more sense.
Looks like a modern Taurus :) Weighing trying to get a leftover 2022 2.0T to replace my 2019.. as I'll be keeping it through this generation at least.
I have a Honda with a K Series engine,. Even Honda mechanics tell me how surprised my car has held up for the mileage compared to other Hondas and Acuras.
I like the minimalistic front end and the dashboard on the touring. If only Honda still offered the 2.0l Turbo from the prior generation
I keep my 10th gen 2.0t 😊
i will keep mine as well. so glad I got a 2.0T
Its a turbo so it will explode by 150k miles

that's a nice looking Jetta!
I absolutely NEVER get tired of your vidoes... Soooo informative..
This is a step backwards I think. It reminds me of what happened to the Acura TSX. The 1st gen TSX was great, had true VTEC, aluminum manifolds, double wishbone, hydraulic steering, and a lot of other features that made it an enthusiast sedan. The 2nd gen TSX was stripped of all of this and was bloated, big, and heavy. Very sad because I was looking forward to this gen Accord.
I’m getting the 2014 accord to me that was a stretched body and sporty in itself. Honda is like Samsung they both suck
This drives better than any accord ever,yall guy's don't even know what you are talking about,you just blind hating on the accord,this is better than the old accord at everything apart from straight line speed,it is also faster than the previous 1.5.
A Great review 👍Thank you 🔥💙
I had planned to buy the new Touring - but it seems like Honda just went too cheap on a $40k car... I was hoping for AWD. Also, no heated steering wheel, no laminated glass, one seat back pocket? The CRV weighs 400 lbs more, has AWD, laminated glass, and heated steering wheel - yet costs the same??? Is it just me or are others confused by the missing content. $40k is real money and a person can get something much nicer if they find a car (like a BMW, ES350, Acura) one year old. Looks like my shopping continues...
Exactly!!! I have driven Honda cars for 12 years and I feel like the value for the money has disappeared, especially with the price increases lately on these newer cars
Can get a Lexus a Acura
Honda has seriously messed up with the packaging and pricing on all of their new models. They're looking middle of the pack instead of the leaders they used to be. All due to cost cutting since they know their devoted buyers won't care.
Yeah that 1 map pocket is strange. All mid sized sedans have 2 of them.
Unfortunately the 2023 Honda Accord has a laminated engine and trans!
The Honda Accords looks nice and will age well. The 2 liter engine will be missed. It will probably sell well because the average person will want the hybrid because gas is expensive and I don't see gas going down. The down sizing of the engine is to meet mpg and emissions. We will never see a high rev motor from Honda again.
Hi Sofyan! Thank you for the amazing review as always.
Does have heated steering wheel? And Homelink?
Heated steering wheel ?
Grow some balls
I was waiting for the 2023 but looks like I’m keeping my 22 2.0 Touring much Longer, I just love it.
Honestly, the exterior styling looks like a revised Ford Taurus, specially the front end. Getting rid of the 2.0 wasn’t the smartest thing to do, though it’s probably due to regulations… but they could’ve easily made a regular hybrid and a performance hybrid.
Exactly, like an updated Taurus!! I'm guessing they didn't sell enough of the 2.0T, I love mine. I'll be looking elsewhere for my next car, looked into getting 2022 2.0T but the price is way higher than my 2019 by $5k
Wrong. It's a Honda. Which means spacious interior, amazing MPG, and reliability. Once these hit dealerships, they will sell like hotcakes!!
Regulations? So globalization makes cars even worse because of Europeträßh?
@@wazgoodjj Amazing mpg's? My tuned Acura ILX gets more power, doesn't have a shit box CVT, and better fuel economy. Cars built on "global architecture" based platforms are straight up trash.
@@Anonymous______________ it doesn't matter. People will still buy them.
I’m guessing they got rid of the 2.0t to provoke enthusiasts to go to Acura? Unless those powertrains will soon be replaced with this as well 🤷♂️
That don’t even make sense… Hondas have always been quicker than Acuras.

This is what the masses need, 46 highway in a high quality car.
you have to drive like a cripple to see 46mpg
While they're worried about that Tesla or other EV, or V8 Mopar coming up behind them pushing them out of the left lane.. 😂
I thought he said it's rated at 41MPG hwy... Either way I'd be hesitant to consider this car if the real world MPG is only 31 MPG like he said he achieved - Even my wife's 6 year old Ford Fusion Hybrid does better than that. I think we'll pass on this one for now.
The plantation workers of Slavelandia can't afford to have any fun anymore
I have a '21 Honda Accord Sport SE with only 6k miles. It's quick enough for me with the 1.5t and it looks amazing in the red color I have it in. If I was to get a '23 model I would have to get a Sport-L to get similar features. Right now it's not feasible for me to get a new car so I will hold on to my '21 for a year or two longer.
I remember when my 2013 V6 Coupe was MSRP $31K but got for $29K OTD. now top of the line accord is $38K before markups
Hi Peter, you seem like a good person but you don't understand how inflation works, you see that a 100$ in 2013 is now worth 128$, and you said the MSRP was 31k so that's closer to 40K so it still costs the same.
It has hit the cars that used to be entry level cars even harder. Look at the Civic and Corolla. Used to be $12k brand new. Now they’re $30k, I know inflation in the past 15 years isn’t nearly 300%

I love my Accord V6 and I'm planning to keep it for many years more, still, I think I'll be happy too have this hybrid, going from 21mpg city to 46mpg city and decent power, I'm okay with that
Yeah hwy with the v6 I get about 32ish which is pretty decent
I miss my old 2016 Accord V6 Touring
The new Prius is cheaper, higher mpg, more powerful and better looking. Just a little smaller.
It looks nice and I can appreciate the great fuel economy and some of the minor improvements, but I'll definitely be keeping my '21 2.0 Sport.
Nice looking car but definitely disappointed by the powertrain options. The V6 Accord was a gem…as was the 2.0 turbo…and now…well….just being thankful that gas options still exist. Ugh 😩
The redesign isn't enough to keep this sedan relevant. Honda ditched the 10 speed transmission, which was great, in favor of a CVT across the lineup. Styling is subdued and I anticipate will age gracefully but no optional panoramic sunroof? Not to mention no optional AWD like some of its competitors and the same output found in the Civic in a much larger car. Am I missing something?
The styling will age badly something that looks like it's form 2012 isn't going to look good 2024+
@@mattmasi303 it’s just my opinion, I could be wrong but simple lines -usually- do better long term; a design language that comes to mind is Audi, you can’t tell if it’s the latest model or not, unless of course you’re into Audis and know them by heart.
The design is pretty anonymous, bland but long term I’m not sure it’s a bad thing.
Ya… 50 mpg lol that’s the whole point
Looks like a squared off Ford Taurus in the front and a Volkswagen Jetta in the rear
You nailed it.
And it looks like every other car made because it has four wheels.
I definitely see the old Ford Taurus and current Chevy Malibu in the styling.
Do the temperature control knobs light up blue and red when you higher and lower temps? Thats one of the small features I love on my 9th gen.
No heated steering wheel on the $40k Accord Touring?? Hard to understand how Honda forgot that given it is on the CRV with more content (AWD) for the same price?
Just buy an ES350 at this point. No markups and v6 engine.
Screw honda at this point. They are only good for SUV's at this point, the civic is so freaking slow its not worth driving.

@@singular9 You probably have the best point. At that price, why go Honda Accord when you can move up to a luxury sedan.

@@jxmar_ ya lol it doesn’t have heated rear seats but at least toyota has a heated steering wheel, it’s even available as an option even in the BASE LE, not standard but still available if you want it, besides it will also add heated seats, why not add that as well.
Why did Honda do that to the Accord!! The previous model was much more exciting and better looking
The gen before looked way better.
You are easily excited.
I've been waiting on this 👌🏽
I love Honda. Back in a days i have a lot of Hondas , but it's a step back. Lexus and Toyota use this combinations and technologys like a years.
I'm looking to get this, need to save at the pump because of my commute to work but I'm a tech guy. I love all the tech inside of the touring. I think the accord especially with the new redesgin. Automobiles manufacturers are getting rid of v6 and what not in return for ev and fuel efficiency. It's where the trend is going. Like the tacoma and camry redesign are going to go to 4 cylinder and better hybrid and ev offerings. Trust me, if you haven't caught up to this then you haven't paid much attention
If not a plug in hybrid how do you charge it or how does it get energy?
Does anyone know if it is solely a direct injection, or direct and port (ie. dual injection)? Thx
I'm old enough to remember when Honda allowed their top trims to have the top engine WITH manual transmissions! Or their base trims with the best engine and manual. Where is that Honda?? They've always had better than avg dynamics and mostly great quality. And I know that automakers are under the gun to increase efficiency and cut emissions, but Honda sells a boatload of Civics and HRVs to have offset the 2.0Ts f/e and emissions. They literally created a brand new 3.5 V6 in an era of heavy downsizing, yet let one of the best mainstream performance engines go?? I don't get it.
Exactly.
Definitely resembles a Chevrolet to me also, however, not the Malibu, but the last Impala. The interior is really nice, and glad to hear it drives well. If I was in the market for an Accord, I would try and find a remaining 10th gen 2.0T model. I also think the 10th gen has a better exterior design. RIP 2.0T, you will be missed.

What is the real time MPG for 2023 Accord Hybrid (Any trim) ?
17:00 if Honda didn’t think the 2.0 was selling was because they got rid of the V6. Everyone jumped to the Camry. Also they increased the price instead of lowering it.
The 2022 Accord with the 2.0T and 10 speed will have a great resale value similar to the last V6 RAV4. Thanks Honda
That's assuming that the turbocharged engine hasn't been driven too hard...
Not going to have great resale. Not alot people bought the 2.0T compare to the rest of the trim. Honda know what they doing . Right now alot people want cars that save fuels, especially in a family car. You can always get a sport car. But those are family cars
After 20+ years of driving Toyotas, I now have the Honda Accord Sport-L Hybrid in their Urban Grey Pearl color. My prior car was a ‘21 white Windchill Pearl ‘21 Toyota Camry XSE w/cockpit red interior and blacked out roof. In making comparisons, there are definitely some trade-offs. So far, I really like this car and its advanced Technology that’s not available in the current Camry. I’m curious to see if Toyota steps up their game with the anticipated 2024 redesign.
Nailed it when you said it reminded you of a Chevy Malibu. My 10-yr old gen 9 Accord v6 has more power and character than this new Accord. And the gen 9's were called boring.
Can you please do a comparison video between this 2023 Accord Sport L vs the 2023 Toyota Camry SE Hybrid? I am interested to see which car has the better 0-60 time and hear your thoughts on which is vehicle is the better buy. Thanks!!
Thanks for the review. You confirmed my suspisions that the end has come. I'm on my sixth Accord,..started with a 77 LX..now driving a 2017 V6 Touring..amazing car. I have loved the Accord over the years and despite not wanting to let go of the V6 (nothing beats the Honda V6) , I knew the 2.0 Turbo would ease my pain...only to learn that its no longer available, my only real choice is the Hybrid? Really? I am devastated. Good bye Accord...hello ? ......
Let's go 1 million subs!
It has that squared off look of the 90s/00s accords....
That's exactly what I've been saying. I think honda is going back to their hay days of those years design wise.
To me it looks fairly similar to a current generation Chevy Malibu. Not to say that's a terrible thing but that design has been around for quite a few years already. I think Honda played the styling a bit too safe.
No 360 Camera is a huge letdown for me was expecting that feature especially for the touring.
I wonder if the Accord Touring has the laminated glass to reduce noise (as seen on the new CRV Touring). No mention of this in the official honda release notes.
I believe it does according to other reviews. Honda also usually uses other sound suppressors that aren't on the product sheet like lower noise fender liners and better tires
Oh man 0-60 in 7.2 … I’m out.😢

Most people don't buy mid-size family sedans for racing unless you plan to mod it up, let alone a hybrid. So don't buy it then.

Like having plugin hybrid version with the regular hybrid just as Toyota does with the Rav 4.😁
I definitely haven’t been a big fan of the outgoing generation’s interior or exterior but Honda certainly knocked that incoming gen out of the park with all its aesthetics. The only reason I wouldn’t personally purchase one would be because of the seemingly underwhelming powertrains, but otherwise, it looks to be a great and much needed product offering in their evolving lineup.
People are being dramatic. Much of the powertrains are what was sold before
@@ciello___8307What about the 2.0 turbo? They ditched that and that was the best engine offered in the accord
If they offered the 2.0T this would have been a great car, minus the exterior styling
Coming from a person that had a 22 2.0t sport, I hated this car until I seen/test drove it yesterday. I greatly appreciate the new accord as gas prices are ridiculously high and super expensive to fill up my pilot. I appreciate this hybrid accord from the new design, to the integrated google assistant. But what’s really more important to me now days is gas savings! I’m so sick of the high gas prices.
My point is don’t hate on it until you see it in person and test drive it. It’s not 2.0t fast, just think about gas savings if gas is an issue for you.
Is the hybrid variant good pick up? Like ever feels underpowered?
@@JitinMisra it’s definitely a good pick up with todays gas prices. Also, yes the new accords are underwhelming in performance. So if you don’t mind slower 0-60 time and rather save gas, I’d say go for it. But go for the touring hybrid. It’s really nice inside, and best value. Hope that helps!
What about seat comfort?
The Accord stopped being an Accord when they got rid of the V6. It looks like a cross between an Audi and a Toyota Avalon.
All 2023 CR-V trims have rear A/C vents as opposed to only 2 out of the 6 Accord trims. I just don't get Honda logic.
Does this new Accord have a heated steering wheel? If not, I'm surprised it was not mentioned in this review.
No 2.0t, no panoramic roof, no fog lights as well as an unfinished front bumper. Why does this car cost more???
Why is not having a "felt lined" glove box such a detractor? Most of the time the glove box remains closed so it doesn't matter at all.
Listen the videos does the car no justice this car is beautiful so beautiful I was the first one with it in my state !
E-cvt is where the 2 motors live. That's what makes it variable.
Too good..... Amezing information 🤠
Does the suspension stiffen up when in sport mode just like in 10th gen touring?
Unfortunately not. They got rid of the active dampers.
@@oldshowfanatic77Dang that’s really unfortunate. Honda sure got rid of some of my favorite options: dampers, homelink, driver side map pocket, fog lights, and full trunk brake lights on the touring and yet Honda increased the price for what… a new Bose sound system and a bigger infotainment screen?

@@oldshowfanatic77 that may be the plan for most accord owners. I have a feeling Honda is purposely taking away features to reduce sales to discontinue the Accord and force us to buy the Prologue?
@@JL11414 it would not surprise me. Also they could be doing it to push more sales of the CR-V and Acuras.
It’s nice in the sport trim. Not really feeling the others. Especially the ex.
Ok. At the beginning you showed a 46/41/44 mpg (city/hwy/combined). Later on you say it should be averaging 41 (??). Which is it? 🤷♂️
I can’t believe how disappointed I was when I went to see and test drive this new design. That feeling will stick with me forever. 😅😂💯 I’m thankful I still have my 10th gen. The 9th gen. is probably my favorite Accord build.
This Accord weighs the same as my 2012 TSX Wagon, and is actually half a foot longer! I dig the refinement of the new Accord, but the utility and build quality of my wagon is excellent, even on an 11 year old Honda.
This leaves us with one glaring question. What is going on at Acura? Analog gauges, wired car play, no models better than 28 MPG. My 2016 TLX gets a solid 34 mpg. Hopefully 2026 will bring us Sony tech. Why am I cross shopping a used rlx hybrid?
Honda needs a conventional automatic transmission. I own a 2018 Accord Sport and the CVT is the only weak link in an almost perfect sedan.
In hindsight, this hybrid powertrain would've been a better set up for the CVT Integra vs the current 1.5L turbo. They're both not exactly exciting with the CVT but at least you could say the hybrid + CVT Integra is a little quicker than the 6MT Integra.
Hybrids should be replacing the BASE engines, not the top engines. Honda got it backwards.
It’s not suppose to be faster than the 6MT
Kinda looks like the last gen Ford Taurus
@@singular9 exactly
No built in Sirius XM is such a pain. It’s not all the time people want to use their phone to listen to XM. It’s nice to have it built into the infotainment system. Other than that, the new Accord is very promising. Especially the new hybrid system
I have a 2019 Toyota Camry XSE that has Sirius XM built in and it’s just way more convenient to have the satellite radio station playing immediately when starting up the car rather than connecting your phone every time you get into your car such as going to work in the morning
Why do we need A foot gap btw the engine and the radiator ?
I find it weird that you can’t get a pano roof and it’s an all CVT lineup only, Subaru and Nissan has done that till date. Interior looks good, like the infotainment, the exterior styling is so-so it doesn’t look bad but it’s not as distinctive as the 10th Gen. Sad the 2.0t is gone
This new Accord definitely looks great, and I think people will be satisfied with what it offers, but I just miss the charm of the amazing 9th and 10th generation Accords, especially the 9th gen with that amazing J-series 3.5L V6. I understand why Honda did this, and I'm sure it will be very efficient, but I know a lot of people miss the other generations a lot. It's still amazing that Honda has not given up on the Accord, whereas a lot of other manufacturers have killed their sedans.
Judging by how many think this looks terrible, I wouldn’t say this “definitely” looks great. I would say you think it looks great.
Man you must think pb and J is a luxury dinner experience
Regardless of what Honda do to the Accord people will always buy it.
I have a 22 accord sport with the 2.0 T. I love the front end on my car versus this 11gen 😐
That’s crazy. In the UK the Honda offers panoramic roofs on the new crv
The Honda Accord review that I was waiting for
CVT and no more than 204hp..:( I guess it’s cool for a good daily. Older generation was much better!
every honda has only gotten slower with each generation. Its sad.
@@singular9 True I’m guessing they are aiming for fuel efficiency. Horsepower and better transmissions are an afterthought.
@@singular9 not true, the 10gen was the quickest accord ever
I’m not nitpicking but it’s somewhat strange that the hood isn’t hydraulic because my 03 Accord V6 had a hydraulic hood. Mildly disappointed to see that cutback but I’m assuming it was done to keep it under $40k
I want to like this car. I think it’s definitely looks the best of all their recent model refreshes.
I wish they would’ve kept the accord as the “normal” sedan, and the civic as the “over-styled” model.
I also can’t stand that they basically punish you for getting a lower trim. I’m not saying that they all need a HUD. But I agree when he said if you get the 12 inch screen you should get the modern software. The stock Honda UI is beyond awful. It’s slow, and outdated.
I've owned several different generation of the Accord including just recently a 22 Sport SE and seeing this car in person for the first time I was not impressed at all with the exterior design. I thought it was very bland and basic compared to the sporty look of the last generation though I do think the interior is an improvement compared to the last generation. My dealership just recently got a '23 Touring in white and it honestly changed my mind on the Accord design. It looks very elegant and luxurious with many hints of Audi in the overall design.
I just purchased a '23 Civic Touring as I think the Civic now hits the sweet spot when it comes to size and design. I do think the Accord LX and EX look like rental cars though compared to the last generation so it's obvious Honda is pushing the Hybrid system.
I miss seeing Honda with VTec and manual (not SI or Type R)
Can't wait to see the car community come out with body kits for this car.
🤣
People will need that🗿🗿
Gotta love that CVT DRONING....
Thanks!
Maybe Honda will hear 👂 the cries 😭 of Honda customers to bring the 2.0T back with the 10-speed auto transmission. We can only hope 🙏! 👏💪
Everyone complaining about the 2.0 and stick shift being gone, but barely anyone bought them. 90% of you complaining didn’t even have one I’m sure!
Do I love it? No. But I do like it. I don't dislike or hate it. Honda really hit it out of the park with the interior and all the tech. It's a handsome and mature car, for sure. Really sad that they did away with the 2.0T and the 6MT.
The Touring is exactly my taste, I like everything about it; design interior and exterior, features n hybrid engine. I like cars that look understated but very comfortable and this fits it perfectly, granted the 2.0 turbo in this would have been the perfect combo, I'm still happy with it
Used to have Accord v6 years ago. Fast comfortable, very spacious. New model except for modern touchscreen and excellent fuel economy, not much to look for. Soul is gone. Forget station wagon or 4wd. I bet if this had straight 6 turbo with 4wd, that would be something.
