2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring - Redline: Top 5 Likes & Dislikes

[@alohawg]

After nearly 4 years driving my ex-l v6, Lane Watch is by far my favorite feature. A picture is worth a thousand monitors and that ain't no shit. Greatest driving aid in heavy traffic ever invented, to date.

[@Sky1]

alohawg you need to try the other alert systems they are way better especially the rear cross-traffic alert you can be parked between two Vans and still be able to back out of a parking spot without hitting pedestrians or cars passing by

[@Wasabi9111]

alohawg I also had the lane watch in my odyssey and found it extremely useful esp when the car is full of passenger. I don't know why Honda can't include both lane watch and blis together. I guess they're just being cheap

[@PLATINUM2U]

alohawg i agree. i love lane watch. sometimes in traffic you can catch people noose picking in traffic. lol

[@oldtwins]

Agreed. I wish Honda had invested in improving the technology of this system to incorporate a left side monitoring camera and display perhaps with HUD or through the rear view mirror. The system is ahead of its time. Watch in ten years when this idea comes back around and the press get all giddy about it.

[@midnightmystery544]

They need lane watch on both side, to be honest... Still a cool idea and definitely worth having!

[@はる-r1r9f]

YOU FINALLY DID THE ACCORD TOURING!! I'm so excited, lol.

[@DrinkmoWater.]

I love the look of it .. absolutely clean

[@MrHav1k]

Oh boy, here we go. It's late, but I gotta watch this one LOL.

[@NiharM77]

They don't need Acura. To be quite honest.

[@MR.F30]

Yes! they do!

[@Alumnikiid]

The only good acura is the MDX and maybe the TLX but the need to add apple car play/android auto which makes no sense that Honda has it but Acura doesn't

That is just like saying Honda doesn't need Accord.

Love this format. Great to hear a reviewer talk abt the dislikes. So many other reviewers just focus on the pros and ignore the cons of a car.

[@Eeaotc02]

The summary of this car: very beautiful!

[@Applegjg]

Externally, the only difference between the Accord Sport and the Touring are the headlights! The Accord Sport looks $10,000 more expensive than it is! It's a bargain

[@J-W.-]

John Williams You mean the difference like 7 speaker audio compared to 4 or the lane watch camera, led headlights, LDW, FCM, and most importantly V6 power that seems alot more than one difference.

Just purchased this car. I would like to add to your wish list for the next generation accord USB charging ports for the rear passengers. Also fully agree that ventilated seats are equally important as heated. One with out the other is the ying with out the yang. I live in S. Fla and it get really hot in the summer. Thank you for your reviews.

Surprising...First time I ever agreed with the reviewer on everything, no BS. Keep up the videos.

[@andregabriel7398]

I love my 2016 Honda Accord coupe touring. I love the lane watch camera and use it a lot. it allows me to monitor the car traveling in my blind spot on the road. and watch my rear at ATMs. I like it better than a little blind spot lights in a corner on a car mirrors. I love the two monitor screens as it allows me to customize 2 top monitor with custom pictures and give my car more personalized feel. I don't need the volume knob and think the deletion of it gives the dash a cleaner better flowing look. it's also easier to wipe off the dash. I don't like that volume knob look. when driving it is easier to use the volume controls on the steering wheel anyway. almost everything that you disliked that are minuses for the Accord are things that I love about it. luckily the coupe does have paddle shifters. I agree there should be heated steering wheel and cooled seats. I believe the coupe should have had heated rear seats. though I have my personal choices excellent review!

[@jdmlifestyle3152]

[@illestBadMON]

i have a 2016 accord touring V6 and agree with you 100% on everything you said. pros & cons. its a greatt all around car though. & one more con, the sound system. its not bad, but its not great either, for $35k you'd expect a better sound system.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

The lane-watch camera is awesome.

[@Mrgiannyx3]

[@itzmando]

I want one!!!! This exact color combination looks great with the black accents and chrome. Need to pay off my MDX and later pick one up!! I'll be really sad if Honda does away with the v6 motor.

[@chente8318]

I will be real disappointed with Honda if they don't make the six cylinder anymore to I'm not a 4-cylinder fan

[@itzmando]

I agree, having that V6 option is the best thing ever, it's really smooth and NA which is preference compared to a turbo motor. I've never driven a Honda V6 but have driven two Acura V6 motors which were and are a great piece of engineering.

[@nebo86]

I have a coupe version with V6 and 6-speed manual, oh my, what a great car to drive, getting close to 150 000km, and no issues whatsoever

[@olddog2706]

Well the upper screen can be personalized( choose your wallpaper), and there are volume buttons on the steering wheel which I use all the time, so there's really 3 cons left

[@carloselrey36]

No paddle shifters is pretty disappointing.. but I am excited for the review, this car is beautiful!

[@TonyAlvar3z]

Paddle shifters on Sport/Sport Special Edition trim only.

[@mrdylanjoseph]

My biggest fear is they will ruin the next gen Accord with "Style." Although I like the new Hondas that are coming out, I feel like this gen Accord will once again be timeless like the 5th and 6th, and hell almost all Accords. PLEASE PLEASE Honda don't slope the roof line and go too crazy with "aggressive" style. That is not what the Accord is about. This one has an almost BMW quality of ageless design. Off my Accord soap box lol. P.S. Considering how big a deal they made at the CR-V press launch about the volume knob, and seeing as how the new Odyssey has it, I fully expect to see it on the next gen Accord. Counterpoint to you Sofyan, blind spot monitoring is not needed when great visibility comes standard!

[@kaisertuumalo6850]

Honda Accord just got a solid 5 likes from Redline. That's all I needed to hear. Honda is just BOSS.

[@DimachkaS]

I like the double screeens .. I keep the lane watch feature on the top screen at all times.

Completely agree about lack of blind spot detection. We bought the Accord Sport and a Mazda CX-5 at the same time at the same price point. CX-5 has blind spot detection (love it!), Accord does not. Otherwise, a great car...

I always said the heated steering wheel was a miss on the Touring. The Coupe has paddle shifters.

[@mrdylanjoseph]

I was just telling my bf right before you got to cons, infotainment. The two screens is a good idea in theory but it is not executed well. Even Ford's Sync is way better designed. Keep up the good work Sofyan!

[@taevy12]

I own a 2014 Honda Accord coupe V6. Love the car. It comes with a volume nub. But one thing I can't understand about Honda is the audio. They need to offer a true premium audio system. Even with the premium 7 speakers they offer , they sound ok. They used to have a 2012 civic and now 2014 accord. I swapped out all their speakers cuz they just don't cut for me.

[@SkyReaper]

My two top cons for the Accord touring are: lack of paddle shifters, and you can't get a black interior unless you pick brown, black or silver exterior. P.s. the red guages in the Sport sedan are to die for!!!

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I still prefer the 2015-17 Camry, both my parents & I own one, but not a bad looking car. I sat in one recently at the LA Auto Show & my least favorite thing about it is that it has too much of the shiny piano black trim. That would drive me nuts keeping it clean all the time.

[@aKellyBrand]

Great video. Luckily 2-3 of your cons will be rectified in the next accord. But I hate not having cooled seats when I'm selling these! All the competition has them on their top trims

[@bobafett5838]

Lovely reliable car, but too expensive to insure. In many states it's even more expensive than a luxury car's insurance for some reason.

[@pauldwyer6118]

Hello Friends. I got this car black with black. I know new buyers get distracted with after the purchase videos and opinions. Well, here's what I say and why I choose the accord touring. Some may say the mazda 6 has the best interior, but others have choosen the accord. Here's the catch. The 6 might go to the sporty side but the Accord touring can attract the sport and luxury side of you. Hence, it will attract those inclined toward luxury whereas those people won't give the 6 a second thought. However you slice it, a V6 will outperform any four cylinder. The V6 is also a safe bet for long term reliability. So what if you want a sport machine? Here's what the pro's say: Get the Accord touring and pay it off as soon as you can. Then, as a second car, you can look into a mustang. The mustang will outsport any Japanese four cylinder, but you will have your accord for reliable transportation. Hope this helps folks.

[@motorhead_jt21]

This one of my favorite mid-sized sedans and my second favorite sedan that Honda has ever built. My favorite Honda sedan is the new Civic hatch

what u think about the new Impreza sport sedan 17'?

Hey Sofyan. I agree with most of these especially that last dislike. Also, the CVT is crap as far as durability. Had a 13 Accord EX-L as a commuter. Ended up trading it. Had nothing but issues.

[@oldtwins]

The V6 doesn't have a CVT. This is a totally different package than the I4 model altogether.

Hope you have time to answer.

[@TheYellowSchoolBusDude]

My local Honda dealer will not sell you a car without the wheel locks. It's like a $50 dollar option that's non negotiable.

[@oldtwins]

Then you should walk out until the very end over that $50 and inform the sales manager you'll be going to their competitor to purchase the same car without their nonsense. Chances are, they will leave them on the car for free. Also, the factory wheel locks should be avoided because there Honda dealers have master keys to unlock them and these keys are regularly stolen and in use by organized crime rings.
