2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T - The Type R of Family Sedans

Now in its tenth generation, the latest Honda Accord moves to the all-new Civic platform for 2018. With an all 4-cylinder lineup and standard turbo power. This new Accord promises to be stronger, lighter, sleeker, and more refined than any other Accord before it. And with a 6-speed manual available on the 2.0L turbocharged engine, enthusiasts seeking the perfect family car should place one at the top of their short list.

Hey guys! There is a way you can leave the tachometer always on while scrolling through the other functions in the instrument panel. Keep in mind, we have very limited time with the car during these media events but we did catch the video from HondaPro Jason showing how to change that setting.

@@christianservin7635 Nissan is okay but Honda and Toyota are way ahead of their competitors right now. I mean the Accord and Camry honestly rival luxury German cars that are almost twice as much in cost. It's crazy how much of a leap these two Japanese companies recently took on terms of the overall quality of the cars and the value you get for your money. I honestly can't blame the American companies for just dropping out of the market they knew they couldn't keep up. Other manufacturers are going to be left behind really fast if they don't get their shit together. I think many car companies severally underestimated the sensing features in cars, Honda went all out on it. Honestly on the highway my Civic Sport Touring feels like a Tesla in terms of autopilot. The damn thing can just drive itself it's insane for the price.

[@nasheemwhye5197]

you got to love Honda theres a reason they used the same block as the type R thats because racing is at the heart of Honda they know people are going to tune the hell out of this accord which is gonna help with sells

[@jebril]

It also helps save money for them not making so many different engines. I don't mind, hopefully it means that the 1.5 and 2.0 liter Turbo engines are both much more reliable because of that

[@Al-qn3sj]

Biggest reason for using the same block is cost. You don't have to spend capital on design and testing for instance. Also I am sure as they manufacture more engines they can get lower costs for components due to economies of scale. Lastly you have to carry less SKU's for spares which means lower costs from a servicing perspective. Rarely to automakers design a car for people to tune (much less mid size family sedans).

[@mjm7875]

I just recently bought a new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport manual and I love it. I did come from a 16' WRX, and there are things to miss about that car but I truly love this car because it is now what I am looking for. This is extremely comfortable and easy to drive anywhere despite how long it is. It is also very spacious inside the cabin and in the trunk; easily haul 5 passengers and their stuff in the trunk for a road trip. I like how quiet this car is at highway speed, and the gear ratios are made for the most fuel economy at highway speeds. To be honest I have very few gripes about this car. One is how a family sedan comes with 19" 235/40 low profile tires (moreso than my WRX). My issue isn't ride quality, it feels just fine, but the fact I have to spend that much more money to replace tires when the time comes. It won't be cheap. Another gripe is I would have preferred analog dials in the dash versus that LCD. It has good functionality, but from a long term reliability stand point I'd prefer analog dials. If ever that LCD were to malfunction that could potentially be quite an expensive fix. Lastly, that back end does look rather terrible. Not a fan of those lobster claw tail lights. Thus far I've been averaging 32 mpg on mostly highway driving on the first couple tanks. That's pretty much what it is rated at, but I expect I can get better mpg later when the engine is fully broken in, I only use Shell gas, and I can use my chosen engine oil (likely Castrol Edge Full Synthetic for GDI Turbo engines). It is also not a slow car by any means. It cannot compete with my WRX, but it is not slow. It also handles quite well around corners despite being a large sedan. Overall, I still love this Accord. It is everything I want in a car now from reliability, to build quality, to pure comfort on the road. Thank you for your review, it was a factor in helping me decide to get this car!

It's hard (for me) to see the grade, even sometimes whether you're going up-or-down. I bought a new Accord w V6 back in 2006, now has over 250,000 miles (no breakdowns) but this one seems to be quicker. Hard to say for sure w/o being there and seat-of-the-pants feel. I like the sound of the 4 banger, not bad. What I worry about is squeezing the horsepower out of 4 banger via Turbo; to me that means the days of 250,000 w/o maintenance are over, but hope I'm wrong. Turbo's are high maint., and boosting a naturally aspirated motor pushes the components much harder - I highly doubt this thing will go 150k wo some engine work.

[@kyron2092]

[@MelloHubb]

Same way a a8 looks exactly like a large a4 and the same with the c and s class

[@oosie2239]

I think that’s not a compliment XD

[@jonathanpitchford1689]

I actually like the looks of the new front end, especially with the blacked grille. The interior looks absolutely perfect. The back end and the awkward body lines down the side is where I lose interest. Other than that it's a well put together car.

[@delfinomares7403]

Dam just read motor trends review and this detuned 2.0t is actually faster 0 to 60 than the type r. It also beat the camry sxe v6 by a tenth.

[@mr.movietrailers3591]

lol it just looks like shit! hate the civic, and this new accord is ugly! sucks cause I really liked my Honda accord. looks like a switched to Toyota Camry! and camry is 203 hp so I think your numbers are off

[@jxmar_]

Delfino Mares what the duck is an Camry sxe??!?????? You meant the beautiful 2018 Camry XSE

[@hhinojosareef1]

This model is rare now on the 2.0T manual especially on the red color damn I should of got one now they are over priced and hard to get.

[@Uncle_drew237]

did you manage to get one?

[@LegitHeroGaming]

I think they are rare now I can’t find it anymore

[@michaels.8244]

That exhaust sounds like a shitty 150cc bike

[@MJT-DA]

Michael S. So most cars on the road today? plus it's a stock exhaust

[@ubaok24]

I have a 2019 Honda Accord sport. I love it.

[@travelingman1983]

At 72 mph I can get 37 mpg mid grade gas with the 10 speed transmission

[@eggy7346]

Saving for this car, I really hope I make it! Edit: Got 1.5T due to price in 2020 and finally jumped to a 19' 2.0t in 2021. Haven't changed since. Maybe a GR86 next? I dunno, I kinda want to try out a coupe

[@alvinsimba734]

I initially wanted a 2020 honda civic lx but ended up with 2020 toyota corolla LE due to price.

[@N8DZN]

THE DASH LOOKS LIKE THE MAZDA STYLE

[@jmanyes]

N8DZN which Mazda copied from an e60 bmw.

[@Fadic4]

jmanyes no. Mazda fans think they created that tablet design and interior design. I still don’t like it that much. It’s still not as bad as the Mazda’s though.

[@Nycholas1998]

With midsize sedans so nice now. I can't understand why I would pay 2x for luxury. Who cares if the headliner is made of velvet or whatever. Accord is growing on me especially the manual!

[@opulan]

MrNick98 isn’t this a small sedan? An e class or 5 series is a real mid size An accord competes with the c and 3

[@mitchellsteindler]

Alex G wow you're right... The 3 series has gotten damn huge (as has the accord).

[@opulan]

indeed, cars have gotten gigantic in recent years

[@campkira]

@@mitchellsteindler I think 3 series and accord is the same size now... 5 and e is entry the size of avalon. While S class coupe is so big it almost he size of roll royce dawn.

[@frankjdm4636]

Bruh! Still no panoramic sunroof on these Hondas?!?

[@Lowecasso]

FrankJDM they can't afford that. Lmao. Still waiting on remote start. Meanwhile my 2011 grand Cherokee has both stock lmao

[@pradesj001able]

They have them on the CRVs now

[@sevenleaf6256]

FrankJDM you can add it before buying and closing the deal on the car, just ask to add it and boom three days later custom accord

[@chrissmith3378]

and on the civics

[@TurboBMRProjectLove]

they do have remote start, you can even start the car with your phone from anywhere on the touring

[@yungboicontigo9278]

The accord looks really bold and stunning. Hoping to get a used 2018 2.0t either on red or blue exteriors

[@haii1650]

I’m also looking for one as well, but the market price seem to be messed up. I seen a handful that cost as much as the 2021-2022 accord 2.0T. Weird maybe I’ll just save up a bit extra and get a new one.

[@imunmire]

@@haii1650 I have a 2016 lxs I want a 10th gen tho

[@cubukluugur6777]

This Accord is so Ugly. Sabotage Designers Works by Honda to Long Time. I'm Drive Honda Since 1995 and the New Civics and Accords Looks Ugly.

[@AntonioLopez-bc6qg]

Does this transmission have the Gear 2 grind like the Type R?

[@normt5463]

LOL! You know more than most!

[@tonytanti8138]

In Canada you get sunroof with 1.5 sport as well as proximity key and remote start...pick up mine in lunar silver next week

[@jasonray2526]

Looks like the next car to buy since ford n chevy doing away with their cars the crossovers in imo is ugly and wouldnt buy a crossover or suv either had a Ford Explorer in the past a 2008 model n sold it transmission arent to reliable this is going off of the one i owned i dont need another mustang i have an 88 foxbody 5.0 its been a great car not made for very long trips but i got a 2013 focus st with st2 package which is comfortable car n fun car to drive. Looks like foreign cars are n my future due to only crossover suv n trucks being made in the future

[@jdawq1989]

I just got my 2019 2.0t a couple days ago. Love mines!

[@hondaftw1234]

I think I need that 2.0T Sport 6MT Accord in my life ASAP. What a perfect daily driver.

[@InvictusRed1911]

And since I'm a scrub that lives in NYC, the fact that this has the Rev Matching from the Type-R and can adjust the dampers, I think this might by the move to make as well lol

[@JrVtec]

#SaveTheManual

[@hondaftw1234]

Renaldo Johnson its missing the auto rev match feature and the adaptive dampers actually.

[@jeremyfowler1519]

Does it have rev match and adjustable dampers or no?

[@ultracellez1989]

ER B I agree! I have a 2007 accord v6 6mt sedan and it’s a blast to drive! Glad they brought back the MT in the sedan for 2018.

[@jaimeramirez-perez7198]

This is a decent looking car but i personally would get myself a 7th generation honda accord v6 sedan with a 6 speed manual gearbox from 2006-2007

[@tappedinmindset2246]

That’s what I drive I really like it.

[@CLsIim]

2 MPG difference vs V6? Thats disappointing. That could literally all be in the gearing ratios with those 4 extra gears and not the engine...RIP V6 :(

[@KGerrell27]

This helped me make my decision between this and the Camry. Accord in silver with 35%tint (Legal limit) , and of course had to go with after market speakers and sub. Car is damn near perfect!

[@FTWinnick]

I bought the blue version of this car, 2.0 Accord Sport. Hands down the best car I have ever driven. So much better than my previous Acura in every way. The interior is just perfect.

[@fernandoh481]

This car looks like a 2018 Charger from the front grill

[@just_cade]

I can't get over the interior. That screen looks tacked on and stupid. It really bothers me.

[@Toyota4Life]

Cade Del Rey I agree. The Camry dash is better designed and more thought out

[@fruitninja65]

[@gerharddeisenrieder1569]

What ever it means to you I just switched from a Jetta Gli to the 2.0T manual based on your review. Everything you said holds true. The auto drive features are amazing. The engine is a rocket. You did a good job

[@spruceguitar]

At least you saved yourself the headaches from VW poor reliability. Great choice.

[@skater234life]

Just test drove this vehicle yesterday. Coming out of factory stock with 2.0 liter turbo. 252 hp. 25-30 mpg city/ highway. Very comfortable car, fast, and luxurious. Great car

[@RepublicanJesusthe2nd]

You have to be careful when pulling in and out of driveways or speed bumps because the car is so low.

[@soiceyboy33]

I'm absolutely shocked no car reviewer has pointed this out yet, but the sound system in the 2018 Accord ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. Just bought a Touring yet the sound system sounds worse than the one in my Altima from 10 years ago. Almost all carmakers have partnered with audio brands (Bose, JBL, Harman Kardon etc) yet Honda refuses to do this, even on the top of the line model with the "upgraded" audio system. God forbid if you get the Lx or Sport, as their sound systems are even worse. The sound quality is gutless and leaves more to be desired. I assumed it would be good and didn't bother cranking it when I test drove it, BIG MISTAKE. Seriously rethinking my purchase right now.... Don't want the inconvenience / possibility of voiding my warranty to upgrade the speakers/ amp myself

[@bg693]

Honda gets away with this and no one ever calls it out. Sofyan actually called it out on the 17 Accord and said he normally doesn't comment. The 2.0T Sport is $32K and comes with a 180 watt speaker. Imagine spending that much money for junk.

[@soiceyboy33]

BG Its rediculous. I'm so unhappy right now. I swear I'm back in 1998 with this audio system. They listened when people complained about a lack of audio knob, hopefully they'll listen now if enough people call them out for this crappy audio. I shouldn't pay almost 35K for a "premium" vehicle, only to spend money out of pocket to upgrade all the speakers

[@supercarsofwichita9485]

soiceyboy33 yeah that's a big thing for me so I would probably go with a Camry since it rivals this with a better stereo

[@pontiacGXPfan]

they killed the CD player for Android Auto and Apple Carplay, which are both trash.

[@hushdrops]

The biggest issue for me is that they removed the analog audio auxiliary input jack! Bluetooth audio is compressed, wears down the phone's battery so we always use the aux cable for podcasts and music. Before long all phones will prob be lacking the analog output thanks to Apple (which sucks even worse than just missing from this car is the fact it's being taken away period because people allowed Apple to get away with it and set a trend that sadly Android phones are following). Anyway just surprised this car when looking at it last night is missing an analog input. As a result we couldn't even quickly and easily test the stereo since it requires pairing your phone vs simply plugging in the phone into the audio input.

[@theejoeylee]

This car with the 2.0 is the only way I'll be able to get my woman to drive a manual..and a type R or Focus RS, but who the hell has all that $$$$$

[@samwh4775]

My dad owns both a 2017 accord V6 touring and a 2020 accord touring 2.0T and I’m going to say something, I just know that my dad likes both and I know what he likes, he likes the interior of the 2020 and he loves the 10 speed, but he likes more the exterior design of the 2017 and the engine, and we both like more the 2017 than the new one, one day I took both for a drive and yes I do like more the V6 is just more smooth, sound wayyy better and with the time it’s probably going to be more reliable, but just how the overall car feels, the one thing I love about the new one is the 10 speed and the new software of the center screen, if the V6 had the 10 speed and paddle shifters it would be a different story, the car would be faster and save more gas + a bit more fun too, driving one after another they both feel fast, even if you’re used to fast cars let’s say mustangs V8 or turbo 6 cyl, this car would still surprise you, I’m going to say that the V6 feels quicker in most cases because it responds faster, the 2.0T accord it’s faster at lower speeds let’s say below 80mph maybe 90mph because the 10 speed has a huge advantage over the 6 speed auto, but after 80mph the V6 accord will start to pull away

[@KnightIndustries572]

I love it, the only bum note was the chrome grille, but this Sport version with the black grille takes that concern away and I think they have absolutely nailed it inside and out, love the fastback styling, so much sexier than new Camry, interior has a much more premium look too. I like the 9th generation, but I cannot understand people saying that looks better than this, NFW!! I own an 8th gen V6 and I love the 9th gen, but this blows it out out of the water, the styling of this car should lower the buyer age by quite a bit.

[@zanderal75]

Knight Industries that chrome grill could be fixed with a 8 dollar can of plasti-dip

funnily enough..the more Ive watched various videos over the past week the more Ive come to like the chrome grille! LOL

23:00 LMFAOOOOOO HE GOT YALL TOGETHER

[@jdm_dude9575]

Love the fact it comes in a manual, but the V6 is a deal breaker for me, I think it's dumb that Honda dropped it, I don't care how good the four cylinder is, there's no replacement for displacement, and the V6 got just as good gas mileage as the 4 cylinder, it sucks that if I want a V6 now I have to get an Acura, which is even more expensive, Honda dropped the ball

[@tr3prom]

Im not a fan of the unibrow

[@aaronphx420]

finally an accord that is new that I love, i hope its comfortable and that my wife loves it--she's excited to drive the 6 speed

[@steelheart4148]

Other than Mazda, the Japanese still do not know how to design a car that looks stylish and classy. The design elements in the front, conflict with each other. The rear lights are an abomination, the crease on the lower portion of the doors, is distracting and ugly. When one views the car at an angle from the front, the rear looks like it's sinking. The styling cues do not work well together. They are fighting each other for attention, rather than blending in. In addition, the one I test drove had a noise level that was unacceptable in a $35,000.00 car (the 2 liter touring edition).
