2013 Honda Accord review

2013 Honda Accord
Honda updates the new Accord with a new direct injection engine and CVT. With a ton of standard features, Honda is fighting back

[@JohnBham79]

Love my 2013 Accord. Almost 100k miles and it still looks and drives like new

[@sektergd8840]

same i got an accord 2013 and it drives like a luxury car,

[@anthonykelmann3640]

Surprisingly handsome car in person.

[@whoawoahh]

@@enelmench3098 and when people call a car beautiful they aren’t referring to it as a girl so what do you mean?

[@andrewnyynyj]

Actually in fact, it is 189 horsepower. You get 4 extra with the extra muffler, which makes it 189. All 4 cylinders minus the Sport trim level have 185, and then the Sport has an extra muffler therefore gets 4 extra horses.

[@mootsym]

Minimal issues with my 2015 LX, 78k miles. Mirror issue I never noticed.. maybe my car didn't have it. Zero challenges with the starter. Minimal oil dilution issues. Zero CVT slippage, even at steep grades. Had no problems with the CVT, and actually preferred the immediate "downshift" compared to other cars (2018+ Camry) having to hunt for the right gear when you just need to go. Averaged 36mpg per tank, 70% highway. I did 6 hour drives with the cloth seats in the LX and was never uncomfortable. Really a great car. Only real issue was left rear power door lock stopped working. not a big deal since I rarely use that door. I could still manually unlock it with the button, and would just leave it locked all the time by default. Some wind noise in the rear.. overall road noise wasn't great, but I got used to it. Bluetooth always sync'd to the phone before I even got in the car. Always worked flawlessly. Backup camera was great. Tires.. while on the narrow/bubble side (205/65/R16), were at least cheap to replace.. $110 for Continental True Contact, which had better ratings than what came on the car, Pro Contact. The only main downside to the 4cyl Sedans is the cornering. Lots of body roll! Those curves are NOT fun with this car. However you'll find forums on a simple easy 30 minute do it yourself rear sway bar upgrade that helps the understeer/body roll significantly. I never got around to doing it myself, but people are confident in it.

[@widejjr]

Zack, you were right with the 189 HP. The sport model comes with that because of the increase from the dual pipes. It also gets a slight bump in torque too. I saw that someone posted too bad it doesn't come in white with a manual. Talking to my buddy that owns a dealership, the manual sport versions should be released in the spring. The other models come with 185HP.

[@davidjames4583]

that looks like the Sport model so you were right...the Sport has 189hp... i went for the 2014 Ex.... just got it.... luv it !!

[@michelclaveau3070]

for the difference of equiment with the base one, its ok. 1500 a 1800$. For the different look with the little lip at the back, dual muffleur, 18' wheels, Mirror led turn signal, paddle shifter, dual thermostatic air ajustment for climatisation (manuel in the base one). I have one since october 2012, and I love it.

[@sinmagnion]

This is the only review on the '13 Accord that reviews the Honda CVT thoroughly and mentioned the CVT's jerkiness when the engine is still cold. Props

[@chinoninostudios101]

Nice review one thing i would like to know the capacity of the speakers. How many and if it has a bass speaker

[@michelclaveau3070]

in canada, all versions have heated seat at the front, back camera.

[@Motormouth...]

I don't know what the ugly thing is on the front, I didn't want to touch it in case it is some kind of electronic monitor for tolls etc?

[@GibsonBuck]

New for 2015, the sunroof is standard on the Sport model.

[@MrNINYTXIS]

I just bought one and love it.

[@AsimUllahOnline]

I bought it in black this weekend and Loving it so far.

[@Grizzzly.]

7 years later update?

[@AsimUllahOnline]

@@Grizzzly. still loves it. Turn around to see it everytime I park. It hasn't aged and had zero issues so far. Kept up all services etc.

[@Steven-jk3nw]

@@AsimUllahOnline how many miles does it have

[@Von_RX]

FYI: the sport model is the only one out of the 4 banger engine line up that get 189 hp due to the dual exhausts and a slight tune up. The rest of the 4 line up will have 185 hp

[@RealtimeReviews613]

I'm a Honda guy and I love this accord. It has elements from the 98-02 accord front end and NO ZACK the rear looks NOTHING like an azera. It's very similar again to the 98-02 accord rear lights. Some may say they look like the genesis rear lights but they r wrong. Great car though and I'm glad Honda is listening!

[@26johndoe]

Honda is one hell of a company! yes they took some criticism for the 8th gen accord, and the 12 civics, but they are back and ready to play! This new accord is nothing short of amazing with so many class leading high tech features, and the best cvt on the market, feels like a regular auto. if you havent driven one, go do so its awesome!

[@venom5809]

Test drove the new Accord and it is truly excellent with tons of features for the money. Best deal on the market and won't die on you like a Ford Fusion. BTW, I like you jacket, what kind is it?

[@seinsmeld13]

Zack what covering the front plate? Looks kinda goofy as Ontario is visible on the rear plate. I like it that you show you are a proud Canadian. Keep up the great reviews.

[@karimvc15]

great detailed review

[@Stevens_Images]

Great review. Thanks!

[@Motormouth...]

The Jacket is made by Napapijri. It is pronounced "Napa-Pure-Eh". From Norway. I love this jacket!!

[@FinanceMan]

Love this car

[@yelp1000]

This thing looks better than some much more expensive cars.

[@hyh2012]

4:14 you weren't wrong the sport model has 189hp the other 4 cylinder models LX EX EX-L has 185hp

[@bentleygt3716]

GREAT REVIEW.. Thank you

[@paschalagwunobi579]

I have this car, it's a very sweet ride

[@nuocmat]

Can someone tell me the difference. With. The. 2013. 2014. 2015 sport model?

[@jlf422010]

I own the same car but mine doesn't have the heated seats. Btw, I live in the US, but I have no complains so far. Really nice car.

[@scottmacewen4608]

Balanced Review Zack; I like Lacy; so hope she hasn't gone away (per Maserati below)... When is Honda releasing the hybrid?? And is the face of the hybrid different then the Plug in hybrid they're showing??? Thanh

[@exit07]

I wish this canada version of sports was the same on the US.

[@Dillon1791]

Why is the Push Botton start not on this car? Honda has made it standard on ALL Accord trims here in the US. Theres that same issue with the RDX and ILX on Acura's website.

[@1Doberdog]

This is a review of the Canadian Accord, which does come standard with heated seats.

[@Kb-qv1hr]

yeah i was about to say, my car is 2013 honda accord but no heated seats 💀

[@owendominique]

When the 2013 Honda Civic SI review comes out let me know please!!!

[@kahmad92]

I was planning on selling my 08' accord, and purchasing a used lexus is250, but after sitting in a 2013 accord, I think I've changed my mind. I don't understand why its 2 grand cheaper in the US though (Options are cheaper too. Putting in the reverse camera was a good move on Honda's part as thats expected to become mandatory in cars in canada within two years.

[@sal990]

Can you do a review of 2012 Toyota Camry SE? Please

[@aikay2008]

i have the sport but no heated seats, why?

[@rickcrispell1405]

I bought mine new in 2914. It amazes me with the fuel consumption. The CVT is not bad except from a complete stop. I have no regrets with 90K.

[@lucythegiant4104]

DO THEY FLY ???

[@AshokAnil]

is there anyway to get this model with same features in usa.

[@preetiriyan7171]

I have this car..n it's luxurious car..n awesome one👌👌👌👌

[@Zohirul-Jewel]

witch is better over all? Nissan or Honda.

[@ESR66]

Review the V6 Coupe please.

[@0012malik]

how much you paid ?

[@darricklee5288]

The car that has similar rear end is Hyundai Genesis 1st gen. Azera looks totally different from accord

[@0012malik]

how much u paid ?

[@Babygr416x]

between a 2015 honda accord or the 2017 hyundai elantra, which one is more reliable even over 100k? im getting a new car next month and i'm choosing between those two. looking for reliability more than anything else, but i don't really like toyota's otherwise i'd get one. I've heard honda's have always been reliable, and hyundai's used to have a low reliability rate, so i'm really curious about the newer models that i've heard are better.

[@paschalagwunobi579]

Get a Honda

[@eddyinfante2554]

Honda Accord or a civic

[@oaklegs4837]

I see that there is a talk button on your models so that you can have voice activated phone conversations. For some rediculous reason Honda will not put a talk button on Australian cars. I know as I have just bought a 2013 CRV and find that although it has Blue tooth there is NO talk button. I just wish that someone in a high place can tell me why that is.

[@andrewnyynyj]

I enjoyed the video though!

[@TheAndrewforbes88]

This is probably a really noob question so forgive me I'm not a big car guy but can the badge on the front be removed? I know the rear badges can be removed with a heat gun and some buffing but the one on the front looks like it may be worked in to the grill in a way that prevents it from being removed. Can it be removed? or could I put on a different grill without a badge? I like the clean look of no badges, does anyone know?

[@3n82]

Andrew Forbes you can take out the whole grill with the badge and replace it with a black mesh grill

[@TheAndrewforbes88]

3n82 Thank you!

[@QOOQ8808]

They get stolen too.

[@chenchoy]

I like the 2010 Accord looks.. this one kind a Old looking 1999 Honda Accord

[@jimmelay71]

In Canada the base model has heated front seats. Not in the U.S. though

[@ScubaSteve3560]

I bought one in Florida and it has heated seats

[@Dillon1791]

Cause they are focused on Fuel Economy and Torque. Hence the Earth Dreams DI technology name.

[@motormusique]

People must ask you this all the time, but why do you test cars with Ontario plates in Vancouver?

[@Dillon1791]

Well this is only Honda's lower tune. higher tunes should be hitting about 220HP and 190LB-FT, which would be more than enough for the light ILX and Si, and if it still around, the TSX (TLX could get it). It also might be in the upcoming all-new Honda Compact SUV (2013 debut) and MMC CR-V. The Base 8G Accord made 177HP and 162LB-FT and 190HP 164lb-FT. New Accord makes 185HP and 182LB-FT and 189HP and 185LB-FT. Torque is also lower made at lower RPMs. Dont under think Honda.

[@snazari1994]

If you look at the USA Acura TSX Wagon, that's where Honda got their taillight. Looks exactly like it

[@vid8301]

There a 2013 honda accord sport Certified pre owned with 96000 km for $16k is it worth it?

[@txoutlawairsoft5757]

No

Just bought mine... 2013 honda accord sport with 170,000 km on it.... for 11k

no street cleaning in canada? the mashed leaves should be rather slippery.

[@1Doberdog]

Canadian review, the Canadian cars do come standard with heated seats and backup camera but the car costs more.

[@benderbendingrodriguez2868]

I like how the canada sport trim has an all white side mirrors compared to the USA sport trim which has the ugly black and white

[@ballstein30]

back tail lights looks similar to the hyundai genesis sedan.

[@0xBULLgogi]

heated seats are standard? are you sure?

[@ScubaSteve3560]

Yes mine has them

[@Zohirul-Jewel]

You're wrong, Honda's are very comfortable and have very good road feel,you should drive or ride in one.

[@misaelramos83]

No, he's right the sport has 189 HP, the regular 2.4 cars have 185.

[@unatriscuitagain]

"It doesn't split, and the hole isn't that big." LOL

[@rusher80]

wow... I like the weather and place more than car

[@Slimecrazy234]

Come on Zack you were so close, rear looks like a Korean car? Yes. A Hyundai? yes. The Azera? No! What it looks like is the Genesis sedan's rear lights.

[@danielsynowiec74]

189 hp is correct for the sport. The 185 hp is for the non-sport model 4cyl. Great review otherwise

[@CCPvirus141]

heated seats don't come standard in sport trim

[@jcplays5831]

The base model is my own personal car and let me tell you, it’s nothing special, but damn can you pull off some stuff with it

[@PhreshNBeat]

ppl need to stop saying that the tailights look like hyundai they dont. its more like from the 6th gen accord evolved

FYI: the spo

[@adnanhamsic3025]

It's quite clearly an Ontario license plate...but good effort though! ;)

[@lili2sexc]

The lx and ex 4 cylinder models have 185hp, while the sport has 189hp due to sport tune and dual exhaust.

[@lili2sexc]

You only get seat heat when you get leather.. the tailights on the azera look like the older accords in case you forgot. I'd say honda went back a generation or two with the tail light design. You can't copy off a copy cat tho...
