I've owned Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, Acura, Chevrolet, Volkswagen...etc. All have their selling points. Honda however, continues to shake-up the industry with these class-leading redo's. The Civic...WOWOWOW. Now the Accord. Great job Honda. I currently drive a 2016 ILX A-Spec. Great ride, but when the 2018 Accord is in the showroom, I'm off to the dealer.
Beautiful inside & out. I'll get the 1.5L turbo in the most expensive trim with head-up-display. Quality material in the interior and plenty nice exterior. Beats the heck out of the 2018 Camry. In my mind, Toyota has cheapened the Toyotal line & especially their Lexus brand.
JjjJ Hhhh Brian Cooley is retired I’m guessing. He was likely overworked when they had him reviewing every single automobile that came into the CNET parking lot. Now we must learn to accept these new challengers and hope for the best. I like this guy’s personality and overall presentation. I think the other 2 new staffers are good too.
I’m okay with it now after seeing it in person still mad there’s no V6. But that 2.0 is punchy indeed lots of torque. Just don’t like the sound of a 4 banger in the $36k mark.
Justin David I'm sure I'll have an uber in one soon and get a better feel. My thoughts as of now: the lower seating is questionable if close 2 the new civic. While I'd prefer it, the masses of people who are looking for a family car makes me wonder. My folks got a new camry (highest trim thats wasn't v6) which left me disappointed for what it's going for as well as vs my brothers current gen v6 camry. Like the lack of comfort. Oh those leather seats w/ adj lumbar are subpar both in comfort & soft leathery feel. Especially compared to new nissans I've been in which imo are best comfort in class. Looking at the fuel econ, the 2.0 accord doesn't look good vs the Camry @22/32 vs 28/38 but it's got more hp/tq & has to feel (and be) quicker over the 4banger in the Camry which when flooring was anemic. even though it's not a cvt & has ~200hp/tq. Inside I'm fairly confident I can give the edge (or more) to the accord vs the camry. Sure things feel well put together in the camry but it's not at the quality I would have hoped (quasi lexus) & not at current mazda, higher trim kia or nissan (for the most part) High(est) trim accords have had ~ acura level which looks to be the case here. Outside those full led headlights I think set it apart from the pack & like the refreshed design. All in all seems like a good all around family car but can't help think that they couldn't go all out because stepping on the heels of the stagnant acura .
Hello !! What do you mean - "Not a performance car" - I have the Touring 2.0T - it's only 1/10 of a second slower than the BMW 330i - and it feels a lot faster than the BMW :) I guess you were driving the 1.5 engine
No one is actually reviewing the car; they're just driving it and giving pseudo impressions and regurgitating the press release - there is no real objective review going on in the 6 "reviews" I've watched... At least HPJ gave some "tips & tricks" in his video...it's a new car, it's supposed to drive nice but what does it do/not do better than the competition???
All of these reviews are "first looks". Journalists are invited out to a press junket near some good smooth roads (or a track, if it's a performance car) with picturesque scenery where they sit through a few presentations, eat some expensive food, and are then given the cars for a few hours to get some pictures/video and some initial impressions. These cars are usually very early production and are sometimes a little buggy. Then the automaker gives them a press embargo that doesn't allow them to say anything about the vehicle in public (an NDA, basically) until a certain time and date (and sometimes prevents them from saying anything about the known bugs that won't be present in the production vehicles).. then everyone uploads their initial impression reviews on that date. At a later date the journalists get an opportunity to get a press car assigned to them that they then use for their full reviews. Press cars are full-on production cars. Most reviews occur after the journalists have had several weeks and hundreds of miles to do their testing. This is how every mainstream car release has worked for the past 15 years or so. It's such a good model that electronics are doing the same thing now. An Apple iPhone Launch Event is nothing more than a press junket where the press gets 15 minutes to paw at and film a new device before going back home and playing with a real one for a week or more.
Isn't this the case with most 'car review' videos on TH-cam? Everyone so afraid they won't get more press vehicles that NOTHING is ever glaringly wrong with the cars, just observations of the press material and repeating the marketing message... so frustrating.
John Nguyen, I know someone who bought a new Accord with 2.0T engine in 2018...after a year engine would stall...ended up in the shop for 2 wks to overhaul engine! Don’t think Hondas are as reliable as in the past
No replacement for displacement. Way to go Honda, you killed off the V6 just to join the rest of the market and slap a turbo onto an inline 4. If I wanted a 4 banger with a turbo, i'd buy a Subaru.
Brian P no it doesn’t. The 2.0t is quicker 0-60 and in the quarter mile and their are videos on TH-cam showing them race to prove it. Your statement is a blatantly false.
The Accord has "Forced Lighting". NEVER buy a car or truck where you cannot shut the lights off. From time to time you will find the need to turn off ALL vehicle lights. Absolutely essential for going to drive-in movies, or waiting outside for someone at night. The engineers in Japan decide when the lights should be on or off, NOT YOU. Toyota has DRL OFF on the light switch.
ELPJM09 Toyota Camry looks good but it's looks like the one from 2007-2008. Accords look better everytime. The best looking Accord is the 2012/2013 Accord.
Think reviewers will keep getting those free test rides if they offer any actual opinions? Who can you trust anymore? Everyone is motivated by the buck.

All cars with "Forced lighting" are actually activated by the parking brake. Just pull the parking brake and then put the car in either accessory mode or turn on the engine. DRLs won't start up again until you take off the parking brake.
The facia design is beautiful, but the roofline & rear are a bit strange. Honda must learn from Hyundai/ Mazda. Lighter Engine on new accord is actually a good thing, *I can guarantee you better cornering, braking, acceleration & top speed.*
Step forward it finally looks modern and nice interior unfortunteley cvt bogs the base model not to mention tiny 4 cylinder with turbo and both of these may not last 80K miles.... Not perfect by many means but 2.0 T with real transmissions makes it better car...
I think the Sport looks great, especially in contrasting white! happy the the same engine in my Civic Type R is being used on this accord, albeit detuned. I am having some transmission issues with my Type R, maybe they fixed the design issue in the accord and I can port it over?
Damn im looking for a new sedan, I've always find Honda's so boring looking and alllll the Asians drive them like they're supercars 😅 theres the Camry v6 which is nice but it's still a taxi car lol Mazda 6 turbo is also quite nice but they took shortcuts on their camera and infotainment is shiiet.. BMW and Audi is also nice bit more expensive and everyone sways you from getting them due to European cars reliability n maintenance costs 😪, wrx is fun but still looks like a boy toy.. ah I'll get me the Stinger instead I guess
Try driving the ten speed automatic in city traffic. IT SUCKS. Thankfully I test drove it. If you want an automatic transmission, you better go for the CVT. Even the new Camry with the 8 or 10 speed automatic is searching for gears in city traffic. I just bought my new 2018 Accord a month ago. Awesome with the CVT. So, either buy this car with the CVT automatic tranny or 6 speed stick if you want manual. So many car companies are now making cars with a pathetic 8 and 10 speed automatic tranny to please the "More Is Better" crowd. Don't fall for it. Also, the CVT has 45% less moving parts than the conventional automatic transmission and after 25 years, it has been proven to be more dependable than the multi speed automatic transmissions. Just make CERTAIN you only use transmission fluid designed for use in a CVT transmission .This is a GREAT car with the CVT. I'm LOVIN' IT!
Nice video, not a lot of fluff, kinda wish there was more about acceleration. I'm all about stoplight racing. And what's with all these videos about Honda returning the volume knob? I have a 2015 Accord Coupe V6, Leather, 6M, no navigation, and guess what, it has a volume knob and tuning knob. Furthermore, I hardly even use them, i prefer to use the controls on the steering wheel.
I dont understand !!!? Honda came out with some Beautiful Designes that Forced many Car factory's to call back their designs and think two ice about what way they wanted to go. like Mercedes, Audi. And now Honda nearly copies audi's design insted of just building that beautiful car up to date!!? is it because Honda was forced to do that when they didn't allowed Accord to go on europien market!!? I dont know the real reason, but I know that Honda Designers if they are incouraged they come up with really exceptional designes....:) LOVE HONDA
Would make a great Q-car ie fit the Civic Type-R engine under the bonnet, manual only and some adaptive suspension software tuning. Sadly it seems aimed at the baby boomers upgrading from the old Accord- quiet, automatic transmission, space for the elderly friends to the bowling game, safe and boring style (not too boring), better road holding is a bonus and boot for the golf clubs and bowling balls, rock solid reliability, fast enough for the Interstate middle lane, tech to avoid accidents. In Europe they're only bought by the retired or taxi drivers driving carpet like roads.
What is wrong with Honda. My 07 TL Type-S had more power than this and it was built over 10 years ago! I just don’t understand what they are thinking. I left Honda in 2011 when I got rid of my TLS and have yet to see anything worth owning from Honda/Acura. They’re as boring as Toyota now . Ugh
Looking at this vid in early 2023. Tenth gen accord is no more, and Honda is producing the 11th gen. Honda no longer offers the 2.0T in the accord. Only the 1.5 and a hybrid engine. I'm. Glad I picked up my 2.0T touring when I did.
More and more plastic. Cars today are just a bunch of plastic on wheels and they're only getting worse and worse because they need to make them lighter and lighter for fuel economy and of course to keep costs low and maximize profit. The "chrome accents" is just all plastic. Side and back profile looks like a Buick
i just test drove this exact car..although not in love..its nice.. pros...very quiet..solid..good build quality..every standard new safety feature..hud great.. cons...bad stereo..even on this top of the line...not bose...dont know what but..just horrible...i have 10 altima with bose and a sub in the back..but sound just not there..would need to upg speakers...personally i dont like the rims..prefer the sport smaller ones...vented seats worked poorly....nothing like the caddy vent seats..
The fuck people complain about the engine.. If you old enough, and have family, this accord maybe your choices, you must consider fuel economy, maintenance cost, roadtax, and other shit....
IM SO GD MAD ABOUT THIS CRAP VERY MAD LET EVERYTHING SAY SIMPLE LIKE IT WAS IN THE DAYS. ALL THIS NEW STUFF YALL DOING NO ONE IS GOING TO GO AND BUY SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN CHECK YOUR FLUIDS ON YOUR CAR OR TRUCK GD!!!!!!!
This thing looks weird and kinda ugly. Looks like a big version of a Civic. Sorry but I'm a Honda fan, but this isn't too exciting for me, in my opinion.
This ugly car is talked about really bad in many online forums from facebook to Mopar forums lol it's a terrible fiasco and Honda needs to kill it.literally. it's hideous AF lol It's been over a year and it's still ugly as hell lol
I LIKE IT WHEN ALL AUTOMOBILES WHERE SIMPLE YOU CAN POP THE HOOD AND CHECK YOUR TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR OIL WITH A (DIPSTICK) SMART AND BETTER NOW ALL THE NEW AUTOMILES GOT TO USE A DAM PUMPED AND PUMP IT IN YOUR CAR OR TRUCK WTDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every year every car reviewer says the new model starts for a new hundred dollars more than last years and gives you more stuff. later in the future cars will be 100,000 with inflation by the time we die
The sensor on the front is located directly where the license plate is supposed to go... how could anyone overlook that!? Front & rear are not perfect. Have to see it in person to make a final decision. Cost keeps going up. I’m thinking they’ll start losing lease contracts. Especially when they’re almost 300 per month & the lease holder is responsible for maintenance cost and a fee at the end of lease term. The midsize sedan is not that practical. You can’t haul much yard waste to the compost or grab an aerator from the local rent shop if you “diy” like me. I’ve had several times when a smaller piece of furniture wouldn’t fit in my 16 accords’ trunk or rear seat. Another miss is the fact that there’s no center pass through in the accords’ rear seat. Those can be really handy for things such as a few fishing rods or lumber like a 2x4 while still allowing two rear passengers to sit in back while on a trip up north to the cabin or even just to the hardware store.
Except for the uneven hood and trunk and the horrible panel gaps. I was about to buy one until i saw the hood completely lopsided and a panel gap or more then a finger width on one side and almost touching on the other side. Buyer beware. I shopped around and looked at a few, found that about 80% had this issue. I can't believe this honda quality. I guess you're only paying for the engine quality. All that said, I bought an acura. Their attention to detail isn't even comparable. Unbelievable.
While that does seem bad, This is nothing new. My 01 civic had terrible panel gap, my 17 civic also had large gaps. This isn't something different with honda.
Why are Honda trying to make this car a luxury car like that’s not what a Honda stand for that’s why they have Acura they try to make a luxury car so bad
The car sort of looks like a mash up of a ford mustang and a dodge charger... It's not bad, but I don't think the first thing that comes to mind depending on what angle you look at it from should be a domestic.
I cant wait for them to facelift this car. The profile is fine but the front and rear fascias don't sit well with me at all. Also can I get it with the last gen 19 inch 5 spoke wheels?
was looking forward to it, the outgoing one is better looking by far. shame, ill wait for the upcoming Mazda 6, if not, a KIA Optima will be the choice
that is ugly front and rear......body shape is ok they just need to fire their designer and hire a better one who can improve the front and rear design
"...Modern, without going overboard. A fault that can be applied to many modern toyotas" Hah! While i don't deny that is true, i find it comical that this is mentioned in a HONDA review... you know Honda, the maker of the new honda civic Type R. Talk about overstyled. Heck, not just the type r, but the hatchback also suffers from horribly overstyled bits, such as... everybody say it together, fake air vents!
Flash forward 3 years later, the Touring 2.0T is a great value used
I've owned Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, Acura, Chevrolet, Volkswagen...etc. All have their selling points. Honda however, continues to shake-up the industry with these class-leading redo's. The Civic...WOWOWOW. Now the Accord. Great job Honda. I currently drive a 2016 ILX A-Spec. Great ride, but when the 2018 Accord is in the showroom, I'm off to the dealer.
Dale Hutchinson wack
Did you get it though?
@@Diwash1 Well - My Acura got totalled in an accident. I bought the 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid. One of the best cars ever owned. !!!
honda never ceases to imppress me, its already 2018 and it still uses stick shift. a legend that never dies.
Beautiful inside & out. I'll get the 1.5L turbo in the most expensive trim with head-up-display. Quality material in the interior and plenty nice exterior. Beats the heck out of the 2018 Camry. In my mind, Toyota has cheapened the Toyotal line & especially their Lexus brand.
Hooray for the 6MT being available with the upgraded motor! Not just the base model.
WHERE THE FUCK IS COOLEY?!
JjjJ Hhhh Brian Cooley is retired I’m guessing. He was likely overworked when they had him reviewing every single automobile that came into the CNET parking lot. Now we must learn to accept these new challengers and hope for the best. I like this guy’s personality and overall presentation. I think the other 2 new staffers are good too.
Really?! This dude was better than Cooley.
dislike.
Who gives a fuck, just watch the damn vid
At your mom’s house.
The more i look at it the more i appreciate the looks of the car. That white one looks stunning
Lenoe123 I agree
and white is--the color most likely to NOT be hit by another car. It is THE safety color.
Same I agree
I’m okay with it now after seeing it in person still mad there’s no V6. But that 2.0 is punchy indeed lots of torque. Just don’t like the sound of a 4 banger in the $36k mark.
I'll say this again just like in the other videos, the 2.0T is underrated as well as the 1.5T. Gorgeous car. White 2.0T with 6 speed, where do I sign?
I will be going with Honda and skip Toyota because they play big brother. I rather have android auto and Apple CarPlay.
Digging the new look! It's gonna be a hit when people see it in person.

Justin David I'm sure I'll have an uber in one soon and get a better feel. My thoughts as of now: the lower seating is questionable if close 2 the new civic.

Looking at the fuel econ, the 2.0 accord doesn't look good vs the Camry @22/32 vs 28/38 but it's got more hp/tq & has to feel (and be) quicker over the 4banger in the Camry which when flooring was anemic. even though it's not a cvt & has ~200hp/tq.

High(est) trim accords have had ~ acura level which looks to be the case here.

Ill hit it with my 17 touring. Will look better that way.
Not really bro
Embargo MUST be lifted. Reviews are all flooding in right now

I got one of these. 2019 2.0T. This thing is amazingly fast! It's like a hidden gem.
Chris - how has reliability been? I've read issues about transmission and electrical glitches.
I have the 2.0 L and it is fast without sport mode. No issues, and I drive a ton.

@@johnnguyen1972 I've owned it over a year now. No issues with anything other than realizing this car could benefit from a LSD.

No replacement for displacement. Way to go Honda, you killed off the V6 just to join the rest of the market and slap a turbo onto an inline 4. If I wanted a 4 banger with a turbo, i'd buy a Subaru.
2.0 Turbo is faster than the old v6.
Nope only off the line because it gets better traction from a roll the 2016-2017 v6 smokes or road and track tested it.

Way better looking than Toyota Camry

jonny davis sorry but the Camry looks way better. It has it own unique styling. This car looks like a ugly fat civic.
ELPJM09 nah Accord always looks better than Camry
jonny davis I’m sorry but I disagree. This ugly Accord looks like any other sedan. Camry has it own design but risk car look like fat Honda Civic.
ELPJM09 Toyota Camry looks good but it's looks like the one from 2007-2008. Accords look better everytime. The best looking Accord is the 2012/2013 Accord.

No coupe? No v6? Is the world ending or something?
yes world ending !... I am serious ...
2.0 Turbo is faster than v6

Would make a great Q-car ie fit the Civic Type-R engine under the bonnet, manual only and some adaptive suspension software tuning. Sadly it seems aimed at the baby boomers upgrading from the old Accord- quiet, automatic transmission, space for the elderly friends to the bowling game, safe and boring style (not too boring), better road holding is a bonus and boot for the golf clubs and bowling balls, rock solid reliability, fast enough for the Interstate middle lane, tech to avoid accidents. In Europe they're only bought by the retired or taxi drivers driving carpet like roads.
What is wrong with Honda. My 07 TL Type-S had more power than this and it was built over 10 years ago! I just don’t understand what they are thinking. I left Honda in 2011 when I got rid of my TLS and have yet to see anything worth owning from Honda/Acura. They’re as boring as Toyota now . Ugh
Looking at this vid in early 2023. Tenth gen accord is no more, and Honda is producing the 11th gen. Honda no longer offers the 2.0T in the accord. Only the 1.5 and a hybrid engine. I'm. Glad I picked up my 2.0T touring when I did.
Was this filmed in NH?
They put a fucking nfc logo on the dash wtf
Right, it looks like someone stuck a sticker on the trim.
igeekone in the fake trim😂
I'll never buy another 4cyl vehicle unless it's a small hatchback.
More and more plastic. Cars today are just a bunch of plastic on wheels and they're only getting worse and worse because they need to make them lighter and lighter for fuel economy and of course to keep costs low and maximize profit.
The "chrome accents" is just all plastic. Side and back profile looks like a Buick
i just test drove this exact car..although not in love..its nice..
pros...very quiet..solid..good build quality..every standard new safety feature..hud great..
cons...bad stereo..even on this top of the line...not bose...dont know what but..just horrible...i have 10 altima with bose and a sub in the back..but sound just not there..would need to upg speakers...personally i dont like the rims..prefer the sport smaller ones...vented seats worked poorly....nothing like the caddy vent seats..
The fuck people complain about the engine.. If you old enough, and have family, this accord maybe your choices, you must consider fuel economy, maintenance cost, roadtax, and other shit....
Side view looks like audi a7
Jurietto Mitshi Kunai it’s a wannabe A7
IM SO GD MAD ABOUT THIS CRAP VERY MAD LET EVERYTHING SAY SIMPLE LIKE IT WAS IN THE DAYS. ALL THIS NEW STUFF YALL DOING NO ONE IS GOING TO GO AND BUY SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN CHECK YOUR FLUIDS ON YOUR CAR OR TRUCK GD!!!!!!!
This thing looks weird and kinda ugly. Looks like a big version of a Civic. Sorry but I'm a Honda fan, but this isn't too exciting for me, in my opinion.
The front looks amazing but the rear is idk 🤔
This ugly car is talked about really bad in many online forums from facebook to Mopar forums lol it's a terrible fiasco and Honda needs to kill it.literally. it's hideous AF lol
It's been over a year and it's still ugly as hell lol
It looks more old school to me. It looks better....
I LIKE IT WHEN ALL AUTOMOBILES WHERE SIMPLE YOU CAN POP THE HOOD AND CHECK YOUR TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR OIL WITH A (DIPSTICK) SMART AND BETTER NOW ALL THE NEW AUTOMILES GOT TO USE A DAM PUMPED AND PUMP IT IN YOUR CAR OR TRUCK WTDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every year every car reviewer says the new model starts for a new hundred dollars more than last years and gives you more stuff. later in the future cars will be 100,000 with inflation by the time we die
Sorry but Honda will NEVER stop making a coupe Accord. This is just selling strategies to sell the sedan 1st.
That dash tablet looks so flimsy, looks like if your using it and slam on the breaks you'll punch it off its mounting. It looks like a problem.
I prefer the 2017 exterior of the accord. The interior of this new one is much better tho! Glad they got rid of those ugly cameras on the side mirrors
acres of space my ass. stop brain washing us. If u want real acres of space get a 1970 Buick Electra with a real longer WB
omg Honda stopped the accord production because the dealers are full, nobody wants them for Horrible Design!
The previous accord looks better... wtf
My 2011 Accord looks better
Baasil F. 2011 Accord looks like ass
No Gusta Not the coupe
Rob Ctrc 2016 = 2017 lol. They are identical in appearance.
wtf !!this car looks amazing
I believe they screwed up the back a lot, but to me the Camry looks like they tried too much to style. Don't have a preference for both.
The sensor on the front is located directly where the license plate is supposed to go... how could anyone overlook that!? Front & rear are not perfect. Have to see it in person to make a final decision. Cost keeps going up. I’m thinking they’ll start losing lease contracts. Especially when they’re almost 300 per month & the lease holder is responsible for maintenance cost and a fee at the end of lease term. The midsize sedan is not that practical. You can’t haul much yard waste to the compost or grab an aerator from the local rent shop if you “diy” like me. I’ve had several times when a smaller piece of furniture wouldn’t fit in my 16 accords’ trunk or rear seat. Another miss is the fact that there’s no center pass through in the accords’ rear seat. Those can be really handy for things such as a few fishing rods or lumber like a 2x4 while still allowing two rear passengers to sit in back while on a trip up north to the cabin or even just to the hardware store.
Why are you reviewing a 2016? The 2018 is nothing like that. I think you are on the wrong page.
The old style 5 spoke wheels.looked way better
2011 v6 design is nice
These new ones are more aerodynamic
Agreed the one on the 2017 touring and EXL looked much classier. I hate having large ass wheels and a skinny side wall as a daily driver.
They have newer 5 spoke rims which look awesome in person, but I love the old style Sport rims.
The new design is quieter. That’s a feature. Not kidding.
Except for the uneven hood and trunk and the horrible panel gaps. I was about to buy one until i saw the hood completely lopsided and a panel gap or more then a finger width on one side and almost touching on the other side. Buyer beware. I shopped around and looked at a few, found that about 80% had this issue. I can't believe this honda quality. I guess you're only paying for the engine quality. All that said, I bought an acura. Their attention to detail isn't even comparable. Unbelievable.
While that does seem bad, This is nothing new. My 01 civic had terrible panel gap, my 17 civic also had large gaps. This isn't something different with honda.
why's the music so sad
Why are Honda trying to make this car a luxury car like that’s not what a Honda stand for that’s why they have Acura they try to make a luxury car so bad
The car sort of looks like a mash up of a ford mustang and a dodge charger... It's not bad, but I don't think the first thing that comes to mind depending on what angle you look at it from should be a domestic.
Looks like shit just seened the 19 and the rear looks disgusting I hate it ..honda has lost it new camry interior and exterior look better then hondas
I cant wait for them to facelift this car. The profile is fine but the front and rear fascias don't sit well with me at all. Also can I get it with the last gen 19 inch 5 spoke wheels?
was looking forward to it, the outgoing one is better looking by far. shame, ill wait for the upcoming Mazda 6, if not, a KIA Optima will be the choice
I wonder how many manuals Honda will sell this generation? They really seem to be pushing them a little bit more now.
that is ugly front and rear......body shape is ok they just need to fire their designer and hire a better one who can improve the front and rear design
I am very disappointed, this car is ugly as fuck, not to mention that cheap tablet, oh well...
Total design change year to year or model to model, it tried to look like camry, and then mustang, then civic. Had enough.
Honda totally fucked up with the back design they shouldve kept it like the 2016 back lights
"...Modern, without going overboard. A fault that can be applied to many modern toyotas" Hah! While i don't deny that is true, i find it comical that this is mentioned in a HONDA review... you know Honda, the maker of the new honda civic Type R. Talk about overstyled. Heck, not just the type r, but the hatchback also suffers from horribly overstyled bits, such as... everybody say it together, fake air vents!
Killed the Accord coupe to bring back the Prelude?
