  • 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?

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @Mr_Chris77
      @Mr_Chris77 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    I wanted a 17 Pearl White Q50 AWD, but I drove the Mustang first.

    Now the electrified models have that.

    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

    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.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    Great review ! Not a fan of turbochargers due to long term reliability. would much rather have a natural aspirated V6.

      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

    • @naveenkrishnamurthy7576
      @naveenkrishnamurthy7576 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alec W yeah. I prefer a smooth quiet v6. Mpg is neck in neck with the accord 2.0t

  • @Robert8455
    @Robert8455 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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)

      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.

    • @naveenkrishnamurthy7576
      @naveenkrishnamurthy7576 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
