Last year I rented the 22’ accord hybrid 2.0 sport and i was surprised how well it does! So sporty, comfortable and firm ! No complaints. I’m a Toyota guy but Honda is an awesome company too
I have a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0, it captivates many all day long. I love the grand yet simplistic interior and exterior of the car & the performance is out of this world definitely a must buy type of vehicle
How much did you spend on it after taxes? were you able to negotiate a price? and did you finance it or paid it upfront? sorry about all the questions, but I could really use the feedback.
@@JR-90 Hey Jorge! Out the door, I paid $42K. They wanted $44K for it. The sticker price was around $34K. I'm still kicking myself in the butt because I could have gotten it down lower than $42K...it was late, I was tired, and I was done car shopping. My other Accord was totaled due to being rear-ended by a semi-truck last Nov. I've heard of others getting the 2.0 for around $39K out the door. It depends on which dealership you go to. I've also heard of some who paid sticker price and whatever tax, tags, and title was. Even though I've paid more than what I had wanted; at the end of the day, I enjoy driving my 2.0. Such a fun and smooth car to drive!! I've test drove the Camry...not as fun to drive....I felt like an old lady in the Camry. I could have paid it off up front but decided to finance it because I had other plans with my money.
@@valeriev.297 Damn… 42k is a lot of money. I have a friend (we’re from RI), and he actually got an Accord as well, don’t know if it’s a 2.0t though, but he got it last November and paid 28k on it after tax. I even drove the car for a bit, and is indeed an awesome car. You probably ended up paying these extra fees, didn’t you? either that or where you live is ridicul0us to buy cars.

I test drove one today, the main thing I don’t like is the road noise that comes through. I can hear other people cars idling and every bump on the road was audible
It’s not as quite as the refresh or as refined in the drive but it has better performance and that’s the trade off if you want speed sadly. Thanks for your insight 👍
I bought the 2022 when it came out. I do have to say I had some issues with the quality of the interior. (Plastic frames came lose) but other than that the reliability of the car has been impeccable
I own the accord but was seriously considering the K5. The accord looks a little better (not as extreme). The k5 was cheaper and had more features the only problem was availability. Pretty happy with the accord so far
Here is it 2023 and I am about to buy me one of these bad boys while dealerships are clearing them out. Excellent review. I felt like I was in the back seat with you. :)
I purchased a 2021 Accord Sport SE, on November the 5th of last year. And It is an amazing car! It doesn't have the performance of the 2.0T, but it is still peepy enough for me. And the gas mileage is awesome! Currently getting 34mpg.👍
@@solido888 😁 the problem is most people do not service vehicles after the first or second owner, then the next owner drives it like it’s stolen 😂. At this time it’s normally 3/4 years old but Honda requires less maintenance and it’s less expensive to fix 👍🏻
I'm on the fence between the 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport & the 2022 Kia K5 GT. The Camry v6TRD doesn't have as much performance. Personally, I love the looks of this car!
They are all great vehicles but the K5 is a .1 faster 0-60. That is a hard choice but I will say from me testing Kia, the Accord seats are more comfortable 👍🏻
I ordered the 2022 KIA K5 GT but found too many issues with KIA motors (in general) leaving the factory with metal shavings inside their engines. The NHTSA has a few recalls on the K5 GT 2.5T, one describes possible engine fire due to faulty gas connections. Also, KIA doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to reliability and resale value. That's why I canceled my order, (it really was an impulse buy) and put a deposit on a 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport in Sonic Gray Pearl. Honda is miles above KIA when it comes to reliability,, safety and value. You really can't beat Honda. I should have know better. Anyhow, I can't wait for mine to arrive!
I have the 2021 Honda Accord sport and it amazes me that they have the fancy LED lights in the front but the rear turn signals are still the old style bulb LOL
I wanted to go out and buy a 2022 honda accord and strike a good deal, well i went to my local Honda dealership where i found the one i wanted, it had 8800 miles on it. Well needless to say the dealership never negotiated with the banks at all, they came back wanting $650/month. No i didn't have money for a down payment and never do. I straight up told them, if you can do $250-300/month you will have a sale right now! Well they didn't want that sale at all because they didn't even try so i walked right out. I am not paying damn near $700/month for a used car.
it's fwd so i think honda was smart to keep the torque below 300. notice all the other fwd cars with 300lb ft either spin like crazy off the line or have a considerable amount of torque steer or both.
When buying the 1.5t or the 2.0 does it change anybting besides the motor ? Like are the mechanic on the interior the same and the outside look ? It’s just simply a different motor looking to buying a 1.5t 2022 instead of the 2.0t let me know thanks in advance

Infiniti is a solid vehicle but if your getting a good deal, why not. The 2023 is refreshed so keep that in mind and they no longer offer the 2.0 turbo.
I went to check out a meet for fun and a dude called my car a "sleeper". My cousin explained it to me and now I've been doing stuff to it (mainly cosmetic since power isn't really what this car was intended for. All I've done power wise is an intake system. I'll probably do an aftermarket exhaust and tune in the future for fun)
Because Cadillac is around 10,000 more $usd, I would say no, more so a class with Acura TLX. But yes it can be, which shows the value you receive with Honda 👍🏻
I think 42g may be a little high, but if you are happy that is all that matters. I paid 36g out the door for a 2020 Touring, but that was two years ago.
I don't know if ti's the camera angles messing with me or not, but either YOU are a tall dude, 6'+ club, OR this Accord sits low and wide. I hope both are true. I remember way back when Pontiac made the GP "wide trac" and it was great. A lower and wider Accord would be the bee's knees! Not to mention the 250 horsies under the hood with the 2.0t model. Your review really has me considering a purchase here. This may be the best sporty daily driver bang for the buck.
You never actually turned the lane assist on. It's next to the follow distance button on the steering wheel and indicated around the follow distance stripes. You were in fact testing the lane departure function which is a safety feature that can be disabled should you choose.
@@trxmp24 ...I bought a new 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T last year...if you can afford it...go for the 2.0...you get the big boy engine and the big boy transmission, and man I love driving it every day. Great car.
A Honda Dealership in Oxnard wanted 40k for a used 2021 accord! Really love the exterior styling but that’s too much for a suppose to be affordable economy car
Wait, such a hot car then why top speed is just a hair faster then my Toyota Corolla top speed at 110MPH and this only top out at 116 MPH? That's a shame.
short answer to the title: Yes The long answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. 6 speed MT or 10sp auto can’t go wrong either way best car every can do everything
Got my 2019 2.0 sport , less than 29k OTD , running great and fast ., whoever bought the car for 42k feels thats a lot for honda accord ,instead should have got lexus es 350 v6 certified
You have a great point and that’s why I talked about the BMW 330i. The deal you receive with Honda has made it a level up, it’s not luxury but a great value 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Actually, last week I traded in my 2016 Honda Accord, V6, with only 30k miles for the 2022 Mercedes C300 with AMG line. I was totally fixated on the 330i for several months, but since I found out they have a new 330i for 2023, I changed my mind on the 2022 330i model. However, due to the additional time I'll have to wait for the 2023 model, coupled with some of the things I don't like about it (i.e., the unattractive curved display sitting on the dashboard), I decided to go with the c300. But you do have a point. I think the Accord does have a lot of features that can be compared to an entry level luxury car. The one you reviewed appears to have a faster 0-60 than my c300, for example. My Accord was a V6, had leather seats, remote start, keyless entry, push to start, heated seats, power seats, rear and side cameras, etc...things that luxury cars still advertise in their cars today. Honestly, other than the name, I think my new c300 doesn't have much more than what I had on my 2016 accord. I was telling my friend the other day that I should have just gotten the 2022 Accord, like the Touring trim and call it a day (and save at least $12k) 😅.
I have this car in San Marino Red. I love this car! I bought it June. Top speed I have achieved is 124mph. And it got there quick! You could feel the computer shut it down. My only complaint is that the seat isn't as comfortable as my previous car and I'm not a huge fan of the center console. I think Honda could have done a better job with the center stack and console. There isn't as much room with the fact the console is so wide. That being said...I love my car! My son and I went on a short drive a few weeks ago. He was white-knuckling the door handle. I scared the hell out of him on a couple of curves when I didn't turn the cruise control off!!!! It performs really well!!!!
I love my 2022 1.5t Honda Accord Sport Special Edition, so far it is the best performing car I ever owned, yes it is slower than the 2.0, but the 1.5 is NOT slow (0 to 60 in 7.1-2 seconds, is not bad) and it's pretty damn quick on the freeway, no problems with passing power. This is my third Honda, I have purchased. through out my thirty years of driving. I have no regrets.
@@tails300 Almost as fast as my 22' Accord Hybrid Sport. Yeah, the electric motor torque is good. I like that mine is all direct drive (no transmission), constant acceleration is so nice. Sonic grey pearl, like the car in this video. The hybrid isn't quite as fast as the 2.0t, but it's faster than the 1.5t, and much more efficient than either driving around town.
Are we really comparing a Honda to a bmw ?? I had an 2017 accord now I’m actually in a bmw 2021 330i Msport package, idk why bmw is even being talked about because bmw it’s in its own class, maybe I woidl say honda Vs Mazda vs Toyota vs Nissan… NOT BMW
Unfortunately it’s not in its own class and the 330i does compare to the Accord. The 330i also compares with the Kia K5, Kia explains how it is faster to 60 and better handling, great cars, congratulations with you BMW 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Honda will never drive like a bmw, I’m sorry… I loved my Honda don’t get me wrong but u can’t compare cars to a German performance luxury sedan to the everyday driver car…. So no bmw compets witch Audi Mercedes, Lexus, and Acura… but not a Honda sorry how does a KIA!!!! Driver better than a bmw now your pushing it 🤣😂🤣
ok so i am going to tell the truth about this car that most people will not admit. Coming from owning 4 accords all same generations. One in a 1.5 sport, the rest were 2.0 sports. They all had paint issues. All of them. Sometimes even in the same spots. Every little road debri this car would catch would mess up the paint. The accords have horrible super thin paint. It drives terrible in the rain. Its a long huge ass car. the car is too big if you are just one person and a small dude like i am. Power is good but eventually you start to feel like all this power for a car that is super huge? I get honda is targeting the family sedan but some of us still need small cars with a lot of power that dont have kids. It starts to look stupid having a car that is so huge and its only yourself lol. The gas is horrible too. Such a huge car and the gas sucked! I think the accord is always going to stay big and huge unless people like us demand an accord thats fast but small again like they used to make them. Until then i went back to a civic cause i dont even care about power. Also make sure the paint is better next time honda because your paint quality on them accords fkn sucks! and you all watch the longer you own these accords youll see.
With any vehicle you will have problems with paint if you do not maintain it or park in the sun (not in a gauge). I'm not saying that its perfect but if you apply good cleaners it will help any vehicle. If you are by yourself than the Civic is the best choice (if you want a smaller vehicle) as this is a touch longer. Thank you for your insight as it is always welcome to hear from owners that have been with the brand for a long time.
@@HawkeyeRides Sure with any car if you do not take care of the paint then eventually it will have the common issues just like any normal paint job would do. But this isnt a normal paint job is where i am getting at. Owning many cars in my life time i have to say the current accords paint is absolutely horrible. I would wax it, ceramic coat it, wash it by hand all the time, detail it. Nothing helped it. All four of them eventually had paint issues and like i said some even in the same exact spots! I bought all my accords brand new too. 2018,2020,2021,2022. All same gen. All paint problems no matter how much i tried to protect the paint. But besides that there were obvious other reasons why i went to a 2022 civic sport touring hatchback. Its a small tiny car with good power and tons of amenities at a good price point. If only Honda would bring back the small Accords like the coups or even make a 4 door small version. I can see that happening instead of a coup. Some of us dont want a fkn family boat with 280 horse power lol. Honda needs to start listening to there customers more often.
@@breannajones9498 on some of the cars exterior panels the gaps between them were sometimes too close to each other causing friction overtime with the driving causing the paint to peel or piece of it would chip. Particularly the side fender that meets up with the front bumper is not properly lined up on mostly all of the accords which over time causing chips. The bumper is the worst part it has the thinnest paint on that part of the car then the rest of the car. I had paint issues on all 4 of my accords. If you have one I suggest you look close for any signs. And most of the issues happened on there own and not from road debris
@@Rip84LW wow. Because I am looking to purchase a black 21 accord. When I went to test drive it I did notice the front bumper was a little darker than the rest like they repainted it or painted over something. It’s the last one on the lot. Sooooo idk what to do lol
Last year I rented the 22’ accord hybrid 2.0 sport and i was surprised how well it does! So sporty, comfortable and firm ! No complaints. I’m a Toyota guy but Honda is an awesome company too
I agree the 2.0 sport was a nice vehicle unfortunately Honda doesn’t make that for the new Gen but it’s still a smooth, comfortable ride 👍
Comparing a Honda to a Kia is like comparing Mortons Steak House to McDonalds.
Kia is in its class and Honda has stepped up its game 👍🏻
Kia is s POS! My 2016 optima engine died last week and Kia knows the engine was trash and refused to replace. I got this accord and I'm suing Kia

@@trxmp24 ...I bought a new 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T last year...if you can afford it...go for the 2.0...you get the big boy engine and the big boy transmission, and man I love driving it every day. Great car.
Better than the 2023!
The inside is better for the 2023 but the engine this one, here is one of a few 2023 I have reviewed:
th-cam.com/video/qfv50EYCdCk/w-d-xo.html
I have a 2014 Honda Accord Sport 2.4L I4 NA. I'm considering upgrading to the 2.0T Sport with a sunroof would it be worth it?
I think you will be impressed with the 2.0 it has a good power mix and it’s more refined inside
A Honda Dealership in Oxnard wanted 40k for a used 2021 accord! Really love the exterior styling but that’s too much for a suppose to be affordable economy car
I agree with you ton that 👍🏻
Thank you for watching today’s review let me know what you think in the comments.
top speed has to be wrong 116? my Buick Verano is capped cause of the tires at 129mph
@@donjohnson9114 it’s correct
@@HawkeyeRides what is it the governor screw or something? i go over 110mph on the highway in my Buick
@@donjohnson9114 no it’s not but it could be that it shows a faster speed.
@@HawkeyeRides both cars say 160, u gonna tell me they cant go 160, 116, why would honda do that?
My friend works at that dealership!
That awesome, they are great here 👍
I currently drive a 2021 4Runner. I'm looking for a performance sedan as a 2nd car. Would you say the Honda Accord 2.0T Sport is a good choice?
Yeah it has the power and the sport that makes it fun. Plus the seats are comfortable for longer drives.
Great review. You hit on all the points. Thx!
Anytime Don 👍🏻
Beautiful, gonna go get me one tomorrow 🤙🏼
Congratulations Alexander 👍
Wait, such a hot car then why top speed is just a hair faster then my Toyota Corolla top speed at 110MPH and this only top out at 116 MPH? That's a shame.
Governor but that can be an easy fix 👍
My 2017 tops out at 125-130
too bad canadian 2.0 sport doesnt come rear seat vent
Thanks for your insight
You could have had it detailed prior to shooting.
They are remodeling, car wash has been down as they are building a new build in the back and it looks like a new car wash 😁👍🏻
I’m excited for my ‘22 accord sport 2.0T I’ll have it tomorrow
Congratulations they are awesome
@@HawkeyeRides thank you, I had my favorite daily ever and totaled it, (2008 is350) so if I like this accord that’s saying a lot for it!
14:14 he’s talking about speed and proceeds to stop behind a scatpack lol 😂
I was explaining the Econ Mode when I was behind it, how heavy the pedal but Getifitron this is not going to be that fast lol.
short answer to the title: Yes
The long answer: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. 6 speed MT or 10sp auto can’t go wrong either way best car every can do everything
@@slowrider05 they are awesome 👍
Got my 2019 2.0 sport , less than 29k OTD , running great and fast ., whoever bought the car for 42k feels thats a lot for honda accord ,instead should have got lexus es 350 v6 certified
They are great cars but you have a great point when the price goes up to 40-50k
Love it in red
👌
So now we're comparing economy cars with luxury ones?
You have a great point and that’s why I talked about the BMW 330i. The deal you receive with Honda has made it a level up, it’s not luxury but a great value 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Actually, last week I traded in my 2016 Honda Accord, V6, with only 30k miles for the 2022 Mercedes C300 with AMG line. I was totally fixated on the 330i for several months, but since I found out they have a new 330i for 2023, I changed my mind on the 2022 330i model. However, due to the additional time I'll have to wait for the 2023 model, coupled with some of the things I don't like about it (i.e., the unattractive curved display sitting on the dashboard), I decided to go with the c300. But you do have a point. I think the Accord does have a lot of features that can be compared to an entry level luxury car. The one you reviewed appears to have a faster 0-60 than my c300, for example. My Accord was a V6, had leather seats, remote start, keyless entry, push to start, heated seats, power seats, rear and side cameras, etc...things that luxury cars still advertise in their cars today. Honestly, other than the name, I think my new c300 doesn't have much more than what I had on my 2016 accord. I was telling my friend the other day that I should have just gotten the 2022 Accord, like the Touring trim and call it a day (and save at least $12k) 😅.
BUY IT NOW!!!! 11TH GEN HAS NO 2.0T
They are awesome 👍🏻
I have this car in San Marino Red. I love this car! I bought it June. Top speed I have achieved is 124mph. And it got there quick! You could feel the computer shut it down. My only complaint is that the seat isn't as comfortable as my previous car and I'm not a huge fan of the center console. I think Honda could have done a better job with the center stack and console. There isn't as much room with the fact the console is so wide. That being said...I love my car! My son and I went on a short drive a few weeks ago. He was white-knuckling the door handle. I scared the hell out of him on a couple of curves when I didn't turn the cruise control off!!!! It performs really well!!!!
Congratulations they are awesome 👍🏻
I did 131 it goes faster than that.
I have the 1.5T version in the Sport trim. The perfect sedan overall except for the CVT transmission which I hate.
I agree the cvt does change the drive but they are great vehicles 👍🏻
I love my 2022 1.5t Honda Accord Sport Special Edition, so far it is the best performing car I ever owned, yes it is slower than the 2.0, but the 1.5 is NOT slow (0 to 60 in 7.1-2 seconds, is not bad) and it's pretty damn quick on the freeway, no problems with passing power. This is my third Honda, I have purchased. through out my thirty years of driving. I have no regrets.
@@maceharris7656 my Camry SE does it 6.8/6.9, that’s really not bad for a hybrid sedan. Electric torque really helps out on acceleration.
@@tails300 Almost as fast as my 22' Accord Hybrid Sport. Yeah, the electric motor torque is good. I like that mine is all direct drive (no transmission), constant acceleration is so nice. Sonic grey pearl, like the car in this video. The hybrid isn't quite as fast as the 2.0t, but it's faster than the 1.5t, and much more efficient than either driving around town.
@@chuckwilliams6261 ...did you pay a premium above sticker price...that hybrid sport is a rare car...
I own a Touring 2.0 - No doubt about it
👌
Great review! Nice boots! Let’s see you wearing some brown ones!
I have some brown ones, next time 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides oh yes please!
I love it but I’ll be embarrassed to try to rev it up 😂
😂 👍🏻
The injectors are so loud In the new Hondas 😭
Depending on the trim level, the higher up you go the more quite the ride is
The 2.0 is pretty quiet
this car is actually quicker than the 330i
That is correct
116 mph top speed isn’t too fast
Fast enough to get a ticket 😁👍🏻
😂😂 you’re right about that
It's governed at 126 not 116.
@@jamessephar9458 from Honda sources it is but I’m sure you may find different numbers, I only work with the manufacture of the vehicles I review 👍🏻
When will you ever need to go 116
Faster than the maxima wow I had 4 maximas
@@SamVacanti-ie7pf they are awesome
Are we really comparing a Honda to a bmw ?? I had an 2017 accord now I’m actually in a bmw 2021 330i Msport package, idk why bmw is even being talked about because bmw it’s in its own class, maybe I woidl say honda Vs Mazda vs Toyota vs Nissan… NOT BMW
Unfortunately it’s not in its own class and the 330i does compare to the Accord. The 330i also compares with the Kia K5, Kia explains how it is faster to 60 and better handling, great cars, congratulations with you BMW 👍🏻
@@HawkeyeRides Honda will never drive like a bmw, I’m sorry… I loved my Honda don’t get me wrong but u can’t compare cars to a German performance luxury sedan to the everyday driver car…. So no bmw compets witch Audi Mercedes, Lexus, and Acura… but not a Honda sorry how does a KIA!!!! Driver better than a bmw now your pushing it 🤣😂🤣
@@lilsiranthony check their website 😂😂 it does:

Honda's lane departure system is way better than Toyota's.
The have improved the safety a lot 👍🏻
I’m a fan of Honda and I have a Honda but Honda is really cheap on future. Inside not beautiful enough
It would be nice to see less hard surfaces 👍
ok so i am going to tell the truth about this car that most people will not admit. Coming from owning 4 accords all same generations. One in a 1.5 sport, the rest were 2.0 sports. They all had paint issues. All of them. Sometimes even in the same spots. Every little road debri this car would catch would mess up the paint. The accords have horrible super thin paint. It drives terrible in the rain. Its a long huge ass car. the car is too big if you are just one person and a small dude like i am. Power is good but eventually you start to feel like all this power for a car that is super huge? I get honda is targeting the family sedan but some of us still need small cars with a lot of power that dont have kids. It starts to look stupid having a car that is so huge and its only yourself lol. The gas is horrible too. Such a huge car and the gas sucked! I think the accord is always going to stay big and huge unless people like us demand an accord thats fast but small again like they used to make them. Until then i went back to a civic cause i dont even care about power. Also make sure the paint is better next time honda because your paint quality on them accords fkn sucks! and you all watch the longer you own these accords youll see.
With any vehicle you will have problems with paint if you do not maintain it or park in the sun (not in a gauge). I'm not saying that its perfect but if you apply good cleaners it will help any vehicle. If you are by yourself than the Civic is the best choice (if you want a smaller vehicle) as this is a touch longer. Thank you for your insight as it is always welcome to hear from owners that have been with the brand for a long time.
@@HawkeyeRides Sure with any car if you do not take care of the paint then eventually it will have the common issues just like any normal paint job would do. But this isnt a normal paint job is where i am getting at. Owning many cars in my life time i have to say the current accords paint is absolutely horrible. I would wax it, ceramic coat it, wash it by hand all the time, detail it. Nothing helped it. All four of them eventually had paint issues and like i said some even in the same exact spots! I bought all my accords brand new too. 2018,2020,2021,2022. All same gen. All paint problems no matter how much i tried to protect the paint. But besides that there were obvious other reasons why i went to a 2022 civic sport touring hatchback. Its a small tiny car with good power and tons of amenities at a good price point. If only Honda would bring back the small Accords like the coups or even make a 4 door small version. I can see that happening instead of a coup. Some of us dont want a fkn family boat with 280 horse power lol. Honda needs to start listening to there customers more often.
@@Rip84LW what same spot was the paint issue?
@@breannajones9498 on some of the cars exterior panels the gaps between them were sometimes too close to each other causing friction overtime with the driving causing the paint to peel or piece of it would chip. Particularly the side fender that meets up with the front bumper is not properly lined up on mostly all of the accords which over time causing chips. The bumper is the worst part it has the thinnest paint on that part of the car then the rest of the car. I had paint issues on all 4 of my accords. If you have one I suggest you look close for any signs. And most of the issues happened on there own and not from road debris
@@Rip84LW wow. Because I am looking to purchase a black 21 accord. When I went to test drive it I did notice the front bumper was a little darker than the rest like they repainted it or painted over something. It’s the last one on the lot. Sooooo idk what to do lol
sounds like a 4 cyl...lol
It is with a turbo
No such thing has a good Kia. So yeah I'd say so.
I don’t understand
