Is the 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T a better PERFORMER than the Camry?

- The 2019 Accord Sport 2.0 is a very surprising car both inside and out. Under the hood is that detuned Type-R engine putting out 252 HP & mated to a super slick shifting 10-speed automatic. On the inside you get all the great safety and tech one could want with one of the best steering wheels in the business. Should the Honda Accord Sport be you next car over a Toyota Camry? Find out all the details!

This car literally looks like the working man's Audi A7. Absolutely gorgeous. I think Toyota finally knocked it out of the park with the new Camry, but the Accord just has this excellent classiness to it. Fantastic all-rounder.
Agreed.
Looks just like it. Gotta appreciate Honda for continuing to push the envelope although the segment is in a decline.
In the sides, I agree it resembles an Audi a7 in a way. I don't like the rear and the front at all. But either way it has amazing tech so it's good for anyone who wants that in a car. I love the Camry cause it looks more like a sports car than the Accord.
The accord styles aren't boring, I think it's elegant and professional- work related car for people who wants a little classy ride with some awesome tech.
Wish Honda just completely redesign the Accord so the front and rear will look as awesome as the sides are and they need to change things up like what toyota are doing.
I liked the older Accord better honestly but it's just me hope everyone has an awesome day.
@@jadeevades3328 Yep. They have got to improve the car exterior. Especially that ghastly front end!
The “working mans Audi A7” 🤔😂....... the things people come up with 🤷♂️
I bought my Accord 3 weeks ago in this same color Still night Pearl and the compliments I receive on it are out of this world. I had some lady follow me and flag me down just to let me know she loved it. It just stands out. I of course had to get tint put on mine now it’s just one fly vehicle! I absolutely love it!
Congrats! I hope you get plenty of smiles per miles!
Same here! 3 weeks ago and got the tint. I almost get tired of the attention! Lol
Same here, 2 days ago 😂 for my first car and I’m in love with it
How's it treating you 4 years later?
This car's pretty much perfect in my eyes with the exception of the rear styling.
I totally agree with you Bradford!
That rear is bad ass. Looks exactly like the rear of an Odyssey
Raiti's Rides One of the worst looking rear ends Honda has ever made.(subjective opinion of course and should have used TLX inspired taillights) Front and side profile is great but that’s it. The reason why Honda/Acura etc are doing the “fake” exhaust tips have to do with keeping the chrome from getting dirty and some manufacturers claim it improves airflow. It does aide in keeping NVH to a minimum along with the frame improvements using NVH materials by injecting foam-like insulation into various underbody components.
@@Drewsky8703 The rear looks exactly like the Odyssey. Who wants their car to look like a mini van.
same here, i would go for the 2019 jetta gli 35th anniversary.
I just drove my friends new ‘19 Accord sport 2.0. Loved it. Very comfortable and powerful. Honda simplicity. I think I’m gonna sell my ‘07 BMW 530i that’s turning into a money pit.
I had a '07 530xi that began to have way too many problems, that outweighed it's value. Sold it, got a Civic, but really considered the Accord Sport as an option. My local dealer was just trying to lure me into paying more for it tho. So I went to another dealer and haggled to get the civic on a great deal. Today I saw an accord in the same color as mine (sport trim) parked next to my civic. Seriously thought about the accord interior, definitely way better than the civic. Tho still the civic exterior design is more better imo.
Powerful?
@Zeovlo Yes I read months ago Honda said they borrowed them from Acura so bright!
@@the_batmobile0.4 they claim only 252 horsepower but i owned it and it’s definitely much closer to 300
Thanks for the great review, Joe. This is the exact model I’m looking for when my Accord lease is up this year. Keep up the great work.
Your reviews are awesome! I was inspired by your previous 2018 Accord 2.0t Sport review, and bought one for myself, same Crystal Black Pearl and everything! However, I got a 10 spd and enjoy it as much as you do.Never gunna regret it. Thank you ❤️💯🔥
Great review!! My wife and I test drove the Camry XSE V6 and the 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T. Toyota does offer more interior color options but after the test drive comparison. Honda won her over. She was able to get custom red leather seats with black stitching installed by Katskinz before delivery. It still cost waaaaay less than the Camry we test drove. Crystal Black Pearl Honda Accord Sport 2.0T, with red interior, ambient lighting, and Accord badges on front fenders. She loves it.
How much did it cost her with the red seats
Yeah baby!!! I knew you would come thru for me 💪...now I'll watch your video.
Honda should really make a Honda Accord Type R. They should also have a redesign for the Civic Si Coupe.
Agree with you...
Or just tune it and it's basically a type r
Swaggy Jay the civic si coupe exists btw
thats why you have acura smh
@@AngelValdovinos True
Amazing review Joe I absolutely love the sound of the Accord Sport 2.0T. Thanks Joe.
I can answer that for you. I own a 2018 Accord 2.0t sport and it out-performs almost every other sport sedan I’ve gone against. This car has a lot more power than people realize. Honda for life! 😍
RockGod333 The Accord is NOT a sports sedan. It’s an economy car. My S4 is a sports sedan and I would dust that 2.0.
@@HorrisPMcTitties yeah and it'll bite the dust MUCH faster with those shit transmissions lmao you'll be visiting the mechanic more often thats for sure
B S What’s “economy” about an Accord touring?
River Denair The reason why the accord touring is economy is because it’s anywhere from $25-$35,000 less than any of the competition with more standard safety features.
RockGod333 LOL, It’s “economy” because it’s not “gErMan”
Last year, my brother purchased a brand new 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 EX-L with upgraded OEM parking sensor package. The design is pretty modern/trendy with fit/finish that is just superb for the price range!!! The 2.0t, in my humble opinion...pulls like a fright train...unbelievable!!! The only downside is there is no 3rd party audio to compliment the infotainment system for this fine vehicle. Overall, this is a fantastic daily driver without the financial mistake when compared to other vehicles on the market.
Thanks for sharing that great input and perspective!
Luv the energy you put into the review! Good job dude
That really means so much!
I traded a 2019 Camry XSE 4 cylinder for a 2019 Accord Sport 2.0 with the auto. It’s no comparison. The Accord is miles ahead in performance and driving enjoyment. I had serious buyers remorse after getting the Camry. No so with the Accord.
I totally agree with you Tim! Very good points!
I'm actually doing the same right now.
georgia home boyy The Camry just ended up being, dare I say it, boring. And the throttle lag was just too much.
I test drove 19 Camry SE and a 19 Accord Sport. No comparison the Accord CVT 'shifts' better than that Camry 8spd.
You must have lost alot of money trading a car to a dealer.
dude i really enjoy your reviews, even if its a car im not into. keep making great content man.
That is really awesome of you to say and I appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!

I have a Sport 1.5 T in this same color, Still Night Blue Pearl. It's everything I need in a sedan. My fifth Accord and the best one yet.
They need to bring back the Accord coupe
Joe Lee agree
No one really bought them, and for good reason. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Accord coupes, but why get a front-wheel-drive coupe when you can get a more powerful rear-wheel-drive Mustang or Camaro for a similar price?
The Accord coupe (and the Altima coupe and Toyota Solara; back when they were around) were massive compromises on wheels. You sacrifice the packaging and efficiency that the FWD format offers for a little more sport... leaving you with less sport than a traditional RWD coupe and less practicality than a FWD sedan.
So what's the point?
Agreed
@@mateuszmrozewski9705 I had the 2008 accord coupe V6. Fast, great styling ( their best ever imo), and still very roomy inside and pretty big truck space. Mileage was pretty decent. I don't think a Camaro or mustang would hit those balanced notes.
I love the Honda accord coupe too
I have a 2018 and I luv it. Theirs a few features that surprised me. One is when listening to music while driving it sounds low but when u pick up speed it gets louder and when u stop for a light it lowers. Another feature is when u have the a.c on and it starts raining the ac automatically warms up so that u won’t freeze or get sick when entering the car wet. Another is the windshield wipers. When u have it on the first setting and u raise the speed on it, when u start driving it wipes depending on the speed your going and when u stop it goes at a normal wipe. I learn something new everyday with the Honda Accord sport 1.5L l. Awesome car
Been waiting for this one for a while now!
Love my 2018 Touring 2.0 10 speed , thanks for reviewing the car I was waiting to hear your opinion
It is a great car! I am glad that I could bring it to you!
I really want a 2.0t but am worried about the 22mpg city, as thats my main work commute. Im trying to get an estimate if I drive it in eco in start and stop traffic. What do you average for fuel economy if you dont mind me asking? And what % city vs highway? Ty!
Bought mine 1 month ago in Rome Georgia. My kids flipped when they saw it. Color is called Still Night. Beautiful when the sun reflects on it.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing your ownership experience!
Nice video and review; I picked up one in January: awesome vehicle! 👍
This color is amazing
Agreed.
Barney purple? yea nice...
I had a 2002 Acura TL Type-S and this really reminds me of the color that car was
So is the weather! Minnesota is miserable now.
Thanks for reviewing this I currently have a 2015 Kia Optima sxl Turbo that I might replace with the Stinger or with the Honda Accord Sport or Touring 2.0T but I’m mostly looking at the Sport in blue or white
I've had the manual 2.0t sport for a year. It's been a great car. Comfortable for the family and fun to drive! I paid 30k otd in the Tampa Bay area.
Thanks for sharing that Douglas! You did well with that price!

Great review am thinking of purchasing one this week
Thanks for the compliment! You will love this car!
I cannot WAIT til next Spring that Red Accord Sport 2.0 will be mines 😍😍
This 10th generation Accord is built in Marysville Ohio for the U.S and Canadian markets so hopefully you'll enjoy your non-American car that's made in America 😏😏
Thank you for this video Joe! I've always liked the Honda Accord but after owning a 2018 Honda CRV with a turbo engine I just hope the Accord does not have the gasoline and oil mixture problems that my CRV had. That reason alone would be enough for me to get the Camry.
My first Honda experience was a 91 Accord EX coupe 5sp. I loved that car. I just bought my son a 16 Civic. Now I'm not sure why I ever went away from Honda.
Can i be your son please
I like your reviews , you never sugarcoat you just say your honest opinion .
Thanks for saying that! I have to tell it like it is!
Four years ago today! This still my car Joe.
Can you do the Toyota RAV4 XSE hybrid?? Thanks man great video
Yes it is. The Camry just can’t compete with the Accord 2.0T. not even with the Toyota 3.5L V6 engine
I agree with all your wish list options for the Accord 👍
I'm getting this exact model, color .. this year I can't wait !! I like how it doesn't have a shifter , it's all buttons makes life easier 🥰
You are going to love it! Keep me in the loop!
Hello Joe. Fantastic review of a fantastic iconic car! If you could go back in time, say 15-20 years and bring this 2019 Honda Accord with you, people would think this was some new $80K car from the Germans or a new upstart manufacturer. This Honda is incredible! Honda is incredible. Why spend $50,000 or more on a sedan when for less than $30K all in you can drive one of these. It’s amazing to me how much R&D Honda puts into this Accord every four years or so. They constantly keep the car fresh, up to date and vibrant. They don’t resort to crazy discounts to move product. People buy this car because they want to not because of some fire sale discount (GM) we are looking at you. Honda still builds several full lines of Sedans. Yes CARS and go figure people buy them in droves. It’s a huge shortsighted mistake by the manufacturers that have killed off their car lines in favor of crossovers and SUV’s.
So very well said!
Obviously the Accord is a step above the Civic but price wise I am still leaning towards getting a Civic Si. I know the Accord Sport 1.5T is a right in between on price but I'll have to test drive both and see if it's worth the extra money to get the Accord.
Just bought a 19 in white. Almost got the manual but Honda didn’t bring their usual manual magic to this sedan. First thing I am doing is stage 2 Ktuner. Can’t wait !
I just got one and I absolutely LOVE IT! 4 more year’s going to trade it in for a 2.0T….😍😍😍😍🥰 I’m loving the 1.5T also.
Had a 2018 Blue Streak Camry XSE, loved the styling but was not happy with the 4cyl and its 8speed transmission. Traded it for a white pearl 2.0 Sport. The 10spd is buttery smooth. More features in the sport. Remote start Apple Carplay and Android. And the availability to tune that Turbo!
Thanks for sharing your input on this one!
Raitis rides is my favorite car reviewer
I am so glad that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
2.0s going for 29k right now, great deal for whats offered , I love the blue i want to try and end my 2017 civic lease early to get!
I love this color! Raiti would make a great teacher. Read 2021 reviews in Car and Driver, Motor Trend, KBB, Edmunds, and U.S. News , to see why it was rated 1 among midsize sedans. Most people have personal preferences. I can find design flaws on the Accord, Camry, Mazda 6, Sonata and Altima but Accord has a perfect mix of performance, reliability, infotainment system, comfort, space, plus excellent feedback to steering.
Thanks for letting me share it with you! I actually was a high school teacher for 18 years!
I have the 2018 Sport 2.0T in the same beautiful color. I got mine with the 6 speed manual.
I really want a 2.0t but am worried about the 22mpg city, as thats my main work commute. Im trying to get an estimate if I drive it in eco in start and stop traffic. What do you average for fuel economy if you dont mind me asking? And what % city vs highway? Ty!
16:50 says it all, spit that truth Raiti
Thanks for noticing!
Just bought one and loving it! Turns heads and on Sports mode it goes.
Congrats Chris!
You are always point on that accord definitely a better driving car than a v6 camry love my 2.0 sport keep up the good honest reviews
Looked seriously at the Accord 2.0L turbo (Touring), the Mazda6 2.5L turbo (Signature) and the Camry V6 (XSE) last year. For me it was a close contest but the Accord outpointed the Mazda6 overall followed by the Camry. The Mazda was top in exterior style but the Honda had many other advantages, the most important of which was the excellent 2.0L turbo. Anyone who mourns the demise of the V6 Accord should give the turbo4 a closer look. It's simply an awesome engine/drive train combination.
Great summary. I also love the Mazda6 (huge Mazda fanboy in general), but the Accord just hits every point you want in a modern sedan perfectly. Amazing packaging, great efficiency, classy design (looks like an Audi A7!), and the drivetrain proves that with the right manufacturer, you can make a 4-banger pretty much as smooth and desirable as a traditional V6.
Mazda 6 for. 0 lag and feels linear like a v6
That car is not that fast. Its fast but not that fast. I know people are going to get mad. But that V6 to is better then turbo.
It’s fast lol. I love driving my accord. I have 23k on now and I just love the engine and the power it’s amazing. Build very well and nothing is cheap in it. It’s soooo fun to drive. Yes I agree the arm rest needs a little bit more padding but it’s not horrible. I got used to it. I would recommend this car. My accord has more features than my Friend’s 2019 Acura lol.
Legend17 not fast by any means at all, but it’s not bad. Would agree it’s better than the Camry and more of a tuners car if want to be. Definitely more power potential for sure
Nicholas Pham idk what car you were or driving. But coming from a 2013 accord 2.4 4 cylinders non turbo cvt car is fucking fast lol
Nicholas Pham 5.5 sec my dude, for under 30,000$ fam lol and it’s a family sedan bro with amazing tech......!!!!!
Its beyond amazing fam
Christian servin hahaa thanks for clearing that!! You are right. Four door car and it’s soooo quick and it’s front wheel drive and it has all the safety features you want. And it has sooooo much room and so much trunk space. Remote start fog light. Sunroof and heated seats and so much moreeeee
Another great review! As you pointed out for ~$31K, the Accord Sport 2.0T offers more than the Camry XSE. I just stumbled across this video which reminded me of my own quandary of choosing between the 2019 Accord Sport 1.5T and the Camry SE. At about $4500 less than the 2.0T you reviewed here, the $26K 2019 1.5T is clearly missing a lot. In fact it was missing so much the $26K Camry SE was a slam dunk in my opinion, heck you couldn't add ANY factory option to the 1.5T Sport, including blind spot monitoring/rear cross traffic alert or a sun roof. The Camry SE offered BSM/RCTA as a ~$600 option and a small sunroof for ~$900. The base SE came with a 2.5L engine and 8-speed transmission instead of the 1.5L turbo (with oil dilution problems) and a CVT. Honda really should have offered factory options to the 1.5, sheesh at the very least a $600 BSM/RCTA option like Toyota.
I had problems with the looks of both cars initially but after over 4 trouble free years with the Camry SE it looks beautiful now! Also doesn't hurt to see the Camry racing with the Camaros and Mustangs on NASCAR tracks. I admit I sometimes lament I didn't kick in another $4000 back then but honestly the car I have does everything I need and hopefully will remain trouble free.
From someone who drives a Mercedes and is loyal to Mercedes, I honestly would buy and drive this car. It’s classy, sexy and catches your attention. Very rare in cars like the Accord and Camry. So I’m very impressed.
I totally agree with you!
Great review. I would ask for an actual shifter not the electronic shifter. I think Honda did a good job with the design, I feel there are many traditional Honda elements. They should bring back the chime when you start the car like their cars from the 90's.
Raiti's Rides, excellent job!
Thanks Alec for your compliments and great points!
Great blog as always;! you cannot beat that car for the money and performance with huge aftermarket support you can get well over 400 horsepower and 400 foot pounds of torque for under two grand . The aftermarket support is phenomenal PRL k-pro hondataPRL already has a stock 1.5 Civic SI running 1120s on stock internals and a stock turbo the possibilities on that car with a type r motor or a limitless. You can't say that about Toyota Camry Mazda 6 Kia or Hyundai they just don't have the aftermarket support that Honda is famous for or the quality. You have to pay $6,000 more to get the same options in the Camry or the Mazda to get a slower and in Toyotas case worst handling car
I totally agree with you! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Gorgeous color one of the best colors I seen in a long time on any car..it's either that color or wind chill Pearl on the Toyota Camry are my two favorite colors
It really pops in the sun!
LOVE the front end!!!
I own this exact car, color and everything ( still night pearl ) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR! Dope daily, looks amazing, big back seat, huge trunk and tons of smiles when you smash that gas pedal. Smooth and fast 10at transmission with a balanced ride in the corners. For the price and what it is, it definitely exceeds expectations. I test drove the Xse Camry and immediately went back to the Honda dealership and said I want that Accord.
I got the same color too but in the 1.5 and it's still picks up nice for a small 1.5!
@@MarcoGiudice slap a tune (ktuner or Hondata) and a downpipe on that sucker and send it! Honda did an amazing job with these motors.
Me too! I have the exact same car and color. I went to the Toyota Dealership and test drove a Camry and I could tell it just wasn’t it. Luckily they had a used 2018 on the lot and I drove it. Immediately after I went to Honda and Purchased a brand new 2019 Accord Sport. I don’t come from a Honda or Toyota background but in my humble opinion there’s no way someone can choose the Camry without sitting in a Accord. It’s literally night and day and the way it handles and drives is what swayed my decision.
@@sxmelly2911 Well said!!! I agree 100%
This Accord looks absolutely gorgeous 😍😍
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
As I understand it, it's bolt pattern matches older Accords so there's a huge market to steal those rims for. I'm planning on a Accord Hybrid Touring and they're on 17"s and I still plan on putting aftermarket wheel locks on it.
I would get locks for sure!
Good review as always. They really did a good job with this design of the accord and that blue is amazing. I love your frustration with the exhaust trend going on nowadays. I wonder the same thing and for that matter, what's with the automotive industry piping in sound from speakers? Can we end that too!?
Doomreb Pipe in sound to the speakers? What cars do that so gross
@@Haddley333 Yea, a lot of cars are doing that. I don't know all cars off hand but BMW's like I8, the M series, and more, The New Porsches, Some Volkswagens, I think some Toyotas, and so on.
Doomreb good god I have to look this up if you’re trolling me congrats I took the bait lol, but if true that’s so awful I don’t know what to say
Nice car. Has room and good gas mileage. Has a good exhaust note for an Accord. I guess that’s the advantage of going with the Sport..
You hit the nail on the head David!
I simply don't trust Honda and turbos. Not yet. The Accord vs Camry XSE V6 is a good matchup. They are roughly the same power and speed wise, but the Camry has dual injection in their engine. Not sure if the Honda does or not. For those that don't know, dual injection means direct and port injection. That will ensure your valves don't get coked up. The Toyota will probably have the longer lasting engine. The Camry also has quad exhaust tips that are actually functional. WTF was Honda thinking? Styling is subjective and both look great to me. You honestly can't go wrong with either car but I'd pick the Camry. And this is coming from a Honda guy. Too many unknowns (to me) with the Honda engine and reliability and small quirks like the exhaust.
Why be down the turbos when it's been find so far other then that CRV issue but that has nothing to do with that turbo engine.
As for the Camry, yeah it looks nice but I bet it's hella boring to drive vs these new Accords. Also btw, those quad exhausts on the Camry are semi fake as only one on each side is real while the other next to it is fake aka a place holder. So not fully functional if you ask me.
I am quite the opposite on the subject of turbocharged engines. We own one on our 17 Ford Escape. It has the twin scroll 2.0 Ecoboost. It lays down the power and gets semi decent fuel economy. Honda makes great engines for a range of products. I believe their first vehicle with a turbo was the Honda City (that didn't come to the States) in the early/mid 80's. I don't think they put another turbo on for close to three decades since that car. In the meantime, they perfected the four cylinder engine. I had the pleasure of driving/owning two of them with the K20 in the 8th generation Si and the K24 in the 9th generation Si. Their 2.0 turbo engine hasn't been as much of an issue as the 1.5 (there are way more 1.5 engines in production), but they will figure out the issues and get it right. When they do, I'm going to buy another Si. BTW, every single direct inject engine has oil dilution issues/blowby. It's the nature of the engine. Some manufacturers have been better at calming the issue down than others. There is no 100% cure for blowby. Even port injected engines have a little bit. But, Honda can do better and I see they are making positive steps to help the situation. And as for the other comment about the exhaust outlets, it's splitting hairs. I know a quad exhaust outlet doesn't mean there are four pipes running directly from the headers. The Camry at least has functional outlets on both sides. Again, both are great cars and you can't go wrong with either.
Great vidio, and answered the main question, wich is more fun to drive? Camry or Accord. He said Accord. Right on the spot.
Thanks Jesus for allowing me to share this with you!
That model was on my shopping list.
I didnt drive it, but I think if I drove that Blue, or the Red one I would've bought this car.
I had a 98 Prelude & an 04 Accord EX-L V6 (everything but NAV) 3.0 liter, 240 hp... I love that car. The only thing which really wears is tires if you drive it enthusiasticly.
Like Ive said I bought the EcoBoost Mustang 17 in Red.
I wanted a 17 Pearl White Q50 AWD, but I drove the Mustang first.
I know you occasionally do comparison reviews.
Previously I would've told you I preferred Supercharged Engines with the instantaneous shot of power.
Now the electrified models have that.
All my favorite models are going Turbo.
A) EcoBoost Mustang (2.3)
B) Q50 300hp Sport AWD (3.0)
C) Accord 2.0T 10 spd Auto
D) 2019 Altima VC Turbo (2.0)
The Turbos have become mainstream.
@Michael C. I had a pearl 98 prelude SH crashed it oops still have my 01 prelude SH the accord 2.0T and ten speed transmission are totally amazing it blows the 01 out of the water and the technology improvements are amazing!!! You should definitely test drive it just so you know first hand!!!
Test drove both the Camry Xse v6 and Accord Sport 2.0t. I ended up purchasing the Accord. The Accord was overall more fun to drive. Performance was a no brainer, the Accord would destroy the Camry in a race even with less HP. Accord also has better handling and weighs less, better infotainment system including android auto which Camry doesn't even have. It was also 4k cheaper than the Camry.
Thanks for sharing your great thoughts from your experience with the Accord! Congrats on your new car!
I dont think destroying is the correct word. There is a race between the 2 and 4 the most part they were equal in. I can send the link. Really good race.
Not everyone buys a car to race. Some prefer comfort, reliability over performance. Plus here in Arizona summers Honda's A/C stink, all of them. I 've had too many Honda's /Acura's and won't buy them again because of the lousy A/C's. . Toyota's , Nissan freeze you out. When it's over 100 degree's it makes a huge difference.
Still Night Pearl is the best Sport Color! This is the exact Accord I would buy!
So very true Andy!
I might be a fan boy but I love your Honda reviews!
This one is really great.
Love it! Just got it same color
Congrats Tammie! It is a great car!
I got a Honda Accord sport yesterday, and it is really worth it to buy, the driving is very smooth, and fast (fast like a Maserati)
Maserati's aren't that great of a car.
Alan K why is that?
Because they are owned by Fiat Chrysler. The engine blocks of their V-6 are made in Detroit by Chrysler!
Alan K I mean I own a used 2017 model..
After more than one year, I absolutely love it for an front week drive car it feel very planted but Honda need to put more horsepower in
I think i will put an ECU recalibration
Thanks for your great input!
its a turbo'd vehicle. Go get a tune lol
With a tune.... It's realllllly stupid fast.
I got the same color but in the 1.5 and it's still really fun to drive and has some pep!
You are so very right!
CVT no thanks
I like this color! It is similar to my 2003 blue Honda Accord EX.
I traded in my 4cyl 2015 Honda Accord for this car. I love this dam car! Same color. The suspenion is awesome. Just gor it tinted!
It would've been nice to mention that a 6 spd is available through the review, people need to know this before they're gone forever! Not only does a manual make you a better driver because you have to pay more attention to what your doing but it also saves you money as autos cost more (in most cases)
Very good point! I have already done a review with the 6-speed here on the channel!
@@RaitisRidessorry I missed that one but I'm newer here but I guess I want people to always know when 3 pedals are available because when the day comes are they're ALL gone, people are going to be asking "why" and the answer is quite simple....YOU❗ (not you, you in general)
Raiti.....2019 VW GLI autobaun or this accord? Which would you go with
hey @Raiti's Rides i love hearing exhaust notes. Do you think in the near future you could possibly add a go-pro mic or some sort of hi-fi or near hi-fi audio capture device to get some exhaust notes for the reviews???? please and thanks :)
I will try to add that!
@@RaitisRides thanks man
I wished Honda didn't scrap the 3.0 liter V6......Not a fan of turbos.

I think turbos have thir places, but the flagship accord deserves a v6. Smooth, reliable, sounds better, and differentiates it from other Hondas, now fuck it, just put a 2.0t in the hypothetical nsx.
The styling has grown on me I freakin love it .
SN : I drive a 2019 Altima SR & I love it
The Sport rims are the most stolen rims
Is there a difference between the 2019 Honda sport 2.0t and the 2020 Honda 2.0t? I’m trying to decide I love both I really like the sunroof feature though .
Have a 2019 Touring, totally love the car. I used to car pull with a coworker in her 3 series BMW, I'd take the accord any day. Regarding the de-tuning of the engine, probably has something to do with helping the corporate fuel economy requirements.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective from your ownership!
I have noticed that the newer Hondas do not appear friendly for aftermarket radio head unit equipment. This is just an observation and not a complaint.
Chad Chapman agreed 1000% (currently me with my poor performing expensive sound system I installed) the typical audio control LC line is barely giving me what I want. You’d have to go for a true DSP(JL audio fix for example) to get the integration you’d need for this type of car with its complex computer systems. It’s basically a computer on wheels this generation(and beyond).
What has been your favorite sport type car for 30k-ish or less? Graduating from college and currently looking for a new car to get. 😅 You've convinced me Accord > Camry Haha.
The Accord Sport is a blast!
Great review. I agree with everything you said.
Definitely want to check it out
Just bought this car it’s SICK halls “f”n ass transmission is totally amazing WOW!!! Excellent work Honda you didn’t let us down!!!
Thanks for sharing your input from your ownership Roy! I am so glad that you like it!
@Raiti's Rides My wife and I love this vehicle we’ve been driving my 01 prelude SH I insisted that she drive this power train, it took the better part of 30 seconds and she was sold!!! Love the safety features as well;)
Thanks Honda;)...
Roy Smith just bought my today too🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nick Johnson Nice!!!
What color do you have???
Beautiful car! I have a 2018 Honda Civic Sport and I would love to trade up for this 2.0 T Accord
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I just did this very thing two days ago! I loved my Civic, but I got out of my lease easily and knew I could afford the Accord at this point. No regrets.
I have had my Accord 2.0T Manual for about a month now, and I am amazed at the car I got for the money. Fast, fun to drive, and I got a manual!!. Plus, Honda quality. This car is an incredible bargain for what you are getting.
Do you still have the Accord? I'm trying to decide if I should just go with a 2017 Civic Si or even a cheaper 2017 Fit EX for now, the only approval i can get is through Vroom right now at 700 a month *OUCH*.... is it worth it? Thanks in advance
@@cjinreallife3864 I now have a 2022 Civic Si. I loved the Accord and was sad to see it go but my lease was up and time to move on. The Si is great. It handles considerably better than the Accord but is no where near as powerful. Accord is also much quieter. Both are great cars. It just depends on what your priorities are. $700 a month is way steep!!
Great review!
Thanks Eric! I really appreciate it!
By far the best body style of any accord. Great review 👍
Oh great now I'll think of a stapler every time I'm driving behind one of these. Haha!
Love love love my 2.0T. Was wondering how it would handle in icy winters but the 17" snows give so much stability. I just don't like how much dust and dirt/salt/grit gets trapped in between the gaps between doors/trunk and body.
I think pretty well actually!
Two of my neighbors have this exact trim. And both of them had their rims stolen. One neighbor had all four stolen and another had two stolen. They said the thieves were scared off by one of their mastiffs that got loose. Those wheels are pretty but they're theft magnets. Even wheel locks only delay a seasoned thief by mere seconds, unfortunately.
Looking to buy a touring model next week. The power is surprising for a 4 cyclider turbo
You are so very right!
Thank you I am car shopping and this video made me make up my mind 2019 Honda sport 2.0 in black mind made up.
Harry Henderson same here lol
Dont do black trust me lol
Gen10 is a 10!...there are a couple changes i would make aesthetically but it did not stop me from buying this. I love my HAS
That is such an awesome way of putting it! Thanks for sharing on your ownership experience!
It doesn’t need a lower lip spoiler Joe, it’s not a high performance car. And I totally agree on the fake exhaust tip and I worry about the long term reliability on that turbo engine.
It may not be high performance but it has some!
The exhaust pipe is not connected to the exhaust tip in order to keep the soot from collecting on the exhaust tip. Wil have to ZONK You for that one!
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Great review ! Not a fan of turbochargers due to long term reliability. would much rather have a natural aspirated V6.
Thanks for the compliment and I totally understand where you are coming from Stephen.
Agreed as well. Giving up 0.1-0.3 sec acceleration to the accord is negligible honestly
Naveen Krishnamurthy it’s not about power, probably just trying to meet mpg
Alec W yeah. I prefer a smooth quiet v6. Mpg is neck in neck with the accord 2.0t
I busted out laughing several time on this one when you said staple headlights... then the vacuum cleaner exhaust tips. Seats like napkins from Red Lobster.. Econ mode to grow a little tree...and save the planet. Rear armrest... soft like a trampoline. Its a great car that will sell like crazy but it sure could have been so much better with only some small changes.
Thank you for the review! I trust your opinion on the drivability of the accord but Camry looks better in the front,back and inside(my 2cents)
Thank for sharing your thoughts!
I agree Camry looks better & better paint job. Seats aren't that comfortable though. But it drives smooth and rides like a Lexus. Big rear seating with alot of headroom. The accord slopes downward. Probably not as sporty as an Accord but i'm past that stage in my life. I rather have comfort.
I like the Camrys red seats and pano roof. That is just stunning in person. The black two tone roof makes it cooler and the v6 is smoother than any turbo 4.
I’m more than glad to sacrifice a little of handling feel and acceleration for a refined v6 that won’t give me any troubles down the road like most turbo 4s can. Because the Camry to me has the best balance of ride and handling, and it’s quiet. The accord is more sporty which means a firmer ride and more road noise.
