    I've had mine for 3.5 weeks now. Love it. Only a couple of gripes so far. The wireless charger appears to only slow charge. The 12-speaker Bose sound system is nice, but thought it would be better. Playing MP3 files sounds a lot better than FM radio. You have to play with the sound settings to get it to sound half decent. The HomeLink mirror should have been standard on the touring model. It is a really nice car.

    I’ve had my 23 Sport Hybrid for a few weeks now. Completely agree about smoothness. This is the closest ICE car I’ve driven in terms of smoothness to an EV. Power is decent , nothing to be wowed with or disappointed with. Probably would have gone with a 2.0T if they still offered it, but it’s nice getting 40mpg in this and 35mpg in my Miata. Gas prices can’t hurt me

    I don't hate the new Accord Hybrid but I don't see myself buying one. I have a '21 Accord Touring 2.0T, which I absolutely love! I can't imagine buying a new one would feel like much of an upgrade. I love the 2.0T engine and if Honda still offered that in the Accord, I would buy one. Yes, if I bought a new Accord, I would get newer tech and better fuel economy but a significantly slower car and that's the part that kills it for me. I really think Honda should have nixed the 1.5T engine, offered the hybrid as their core engine and kept the 2.0T for those of us who prefer a higher performing sedan. The 10th generation Accord with the 2.0T is so much car for the money. Where I go from here is the real dilemma.

I love the way the naturally aspirated 4 feels and sounds. Way better than a turbo.

      The new. 2023 Accord Touring has a more refined ride due to the hybrid electric motor over the Touring 2.0T. The ride is much more classier. But boys want their 2.0Y’s.

      My Dad just bought a ‘25 Accord Hybrid Touring and I really like it. I have driven it a few times and while it’s objectively better than my ‘21 Accord Touring 2.0T in many regards, it still misses the mark for me in the fun to drive category. Don’t misunderstand. I really do like his ‘25 but I don’t want to give up my performance edge for the other perks the car offers, but that’s just me. He is totally smitten by his new car. He loves the fuel economy and is utterly amazed that a car of that size can deliver such impressive mpgs.

      @@Wurll That's hard to say quantify really. The Honda V6 is a reliable engine, but so is their 4 cylinder which is what you find in these hybrids. While you do (arguably) have the added complexity of the dual electric motor system powering the wheels, you also don't have any conventional transmission to worry about, nor an alternator, belts, etc.
      In terms of the complexity of hybrid system over a traditional engine/transmission, I'd even venture to say that the complexity is equal but different.

    For $39,000 the Accord is such a huge disappointment. Looks are subjective so I’ll just stick to features although I’m not a fan of the new front end.
    1.) No fog lights.
    2.) Not enough sound deadening; Honda is known for having noisier than average cabins.
    3.) No heated steering wheel.
    4.) Blind spot monitoring w/ rear cross traffic alert is an additional option from the factory, weird, especially for the top trim.
    5.) The digital display looks borrowed from a VW Jetta. It doesn’t take up the full gauge cluster and just leaves huge plastic borders on the sides (which I’m assuming was done on purpose so that it’ll seem like a “huge” new feature when they update this model in a few years to have a full display 😉).
    6.) The sound system truly falls short, especially when Mazda also uses Bose and it sounds beyond incredible in their vehicles.
    7.) Their backup camera is a joke. They’ve been using the same cheap-a** ~2mp camera for the past 10 years now.
    8.) No front camera and/or no 360 degree camera.
    9.) No panoramic sun roof.
    10.) The lack of premium touch points like brushed aluminum or chrome on the interior.
    11.) I guess this is subjective to styling, but why they chose to use a worse looking rim than what’s on their sport trim is beyond me!?! Every time I see one of these in the sport trim (yes, the base sport-hybrid trim NOT the all black rims on the sport-L hybrid) with the nicer rims I think it’s the top trim and then I have to remind myself it’s actually not. I hardly even notice this accord with the rims they use on the touring.
    What a huge let down this Accord is :(

    Test drove the 1.5T EX and then the hybrid sport back to back. Preferred the driving dynamics of the lighter 1.5T which also didn't sacrifice much comfort compared to the hybrid. Most of my commute is through country back roads and on the highway so fuel economy wouldn't be too different between the two. However, I am worried about the blown head gasket issues reported for the 1.5T.

    • @astaldo

      It’s only anecdotal, but the 1.5T has been great in my civic. There was also a 2022 civic that went 1 million miles already with the 1.5T, so unless you’re putting a crazy amount of boost you’ll probably be fine

    • @vladimirtalijan
      @vladimirtalijan ปีที่แล้ว

      Even if a blown head gasket is a common issue with the 1.5T, it's a $500 job at the independent. Never use dealerships for anything, they are just robbing people and also they don't know what they are doing, don't be fooled by the fact it's official Honda service. That being said, I would rather go with the Hybrid, it has even better fuel economy and the EV side makes it peppier from a dead stop. Also probably quieter overall. And that being said, I would probably rather go with the 2023. CR-V Hybrid, and I'm a sedan guy who owns a 2018 2.0T Touring :)
