Savage Goose just sent me here, he recommended this channel.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thanks man I appreciate that yea I saw he had a live stream going. He’s an awesome dude works really hard on this KZbin stuff to give consumers the best info. I thank him for mentioning me too because a guy like him really doesn’t need to mention me at all. Thanks for stopping by my friend

Imho, Savage Geese does the videography part better than any you tube auto reviewer. It is truly awe inspiring, some of the shots he gets.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oh yea definitely he’s really into the videography side of things. He’s got a lot of money invested into it and he’s had a lot of passion for it, I actually hate videography and editing but I want to at least make a clean video not shot on a GoPro haha. But yes Mark’s the man

[@rer1967]

I just got a new one in the EX-L trim because my 2017 Hyundai crapped out after only 36k miles. So far the Honda has exceeded the Hyundai in every way.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hmm I’m really surprised what Hyundai did you have and what did they say? They came with like a decade long warranty was it considered a lemon or something?

[@rer1967]

@@MeynMotorGroup, I had the Elantra limited with ultimate package. Trouble started when driving to work one morning, the check engine light came on, it was flashing and the car started shaking violently with an irregular idle. Had it towed in, they didn't honor a rental car so I had to rent a car for a week. Said a coil pack went bad, and had two recalls, thermostat and software update. Well next morning after getting it back the check eenginne light came on again. After hearing how they talked to a few other customers at this particular dealership and talking with a few coworkers who got rid of their Hyundais, I decided that it was better to get rid of it before it totally crapped out like those customers that I heard getting screwed over and the co-workers who also had engine trouble. I did a lot of research and found that Hyundai has for years had poor practices in the manufacturing of their engines which leaves metal shavings inside of the engine. This has lead to many customers with engines that lock up. I can honestly say that after this experience with Hyundai, I will never buy another one.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Damn really sorry to hear that because those Hyundai’s are good driving cars and have come along way but I get it, not everyone is going to have a good experience. These are cars at the end of the day, very complex, lots of moving parts, and nowadays, a lot of electronics. Yours went out prematurely and there have been other people who’ve had there’s for 100s and thousands of miles, one lady hit a million miles in her Elantra and it was on an older one too. I know a guy where his transmission went out on his brand new corolla and I know another guy with a 2005 SLK Benz with over 100k miles no issues at all. I just advise everyone to get a warranty and that cars can break at anytime but very unfortunate you had to go through that

[@rer1967]

@@MeynMotorGroup , yeah I really hated that it happened, but was glad that it did while I could get a good trade in price on it. Having the Honda for almost a month now, I see alot in how the Honda is put together so much better than the Hyundai.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That Accord was extremely solid Honda Acura and Toyota Lexus typically are solid cars and they age really well so I’m glad you got a great car now that you like

[@moeanthony9308]

Very very good review. It's just keeps on getting better for you.

Appreciate that Moe thanks! I hope to do more cool new cars

[@Fernando-gz5gf]

I have that same exact rattle noise on my honda accord toring 2018🤦🏽‍♂️ idkkk what to do with it its anoyying

[@originalmusic401]

please please if you're watching this, get the manual transmission especially if you're a spirited driver wanting to hit some vtec once in a while, the CVT can't handle vtec and turbo when you push it in the long run. The sad thing is in my area there were no 1.5t sport trims with manual and I didn't want to pay more for the 2.0

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Problem with that is most people that are buying cars like this probably don't know how to drive manual. Their manual sales for this is literally 1%

[@Wizdomisgold562]

Considering getting a 2020 Sport 1.5. I've heard some talk of rattle from that aluminum hood at higher speeds. Anyone here noticing that?

[@michaelpalmer1859]

Yes

[@wbwayne8887]

@@MeynMotorGroup That sounds like a great idea for a review. The 850i is a incredible looking car, but if you squint hard enough, it kind of looks like a Mustang. Total compliment to Ford. I like the 850i Grand Coupe a little better. If you review the 850i though, then you also eventually need to get your hands on a Lexus LC500 for comparison.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

LC500 is my dream car I gotta get that on the channel one way or another

[@randym195]

Great review Kevin. Do you find it difficult to get into? I like the car but jeez I I feel like I'm sitting on the ground when I get into it. I guess this is the way the mid sized car is going. I better get used to it or get an SUV.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey thanks Randy, so no I actually did not have too many issues getting in and out of this car. Mid size cars have gotten a bit more aggressive recently and are certainly lower than they used to be but, I personally didn’t have too many issues. The larger Full size sedans are always much easier to get into so you may like something like an Avalon as those sit up higher and yea SUVs too. Thanks for stopping by again!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea it does help with a lower center of gravity. I suppose because SUVs are top sellers now, they’re trying to make sedans stand out by making them seem “sportier.” But this wasn’t too bad to access I feel like the compact car segment is a bit more difficult to get in and out od

[@collectivelight]

I'm not a fan of the exterior styling on this Accord or the Civic but other than that, it seems like a pretty good option in this class.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea the Styling is super subjective and that’ll be up to the people to decide haha

review the 9th gen of the accord! love the review but i believe the 9th gen is the best looking... ( i do own one)

Ciego Sanchez I agree!! I have the 2017 v6 coupe. The car will for sure age well. The rear looks almost bmwish the led updated tailights help with. Modernizing the look. Very clean look

[@ciegosanchez5289]

MetroSB right, to me it’s just perfect. i mean you can’t find really any flaws with it. I’m going to hold on to this for a very long time 200k plus miles. i think it’ll be a classic in that time like how we look at a 2008 Acura TL

[@chrisc8774]

I had 2016 accord which I love but after driving and testing iut the 2018 I had to get it has alot more technology more comfortable and in person its actually very nice looking and upgrade to 2018

In your honest opinion which one do you prefer 19 or 20 and explain why???

You mean 2019 or 2020? They're the same car...pick whichever is cheapest..

Exhaust Sports Auto so the new 2020 is nothing different from 19 because it’s the same. Wow what a let down.

[@Drew-ub5cv]

@@MeynMotorGroup how bout the 2018 accord touring or the 2020 accord touring ?

[@devongee1776]

People calling this the ugly duckling probably drive the current gen Honda Civic. I do think Honda F'd up not making it a sportback. Also first to do it? What about the Stinger/Arteon ): those can be had for $30K range too

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea but the Stinger and Arteon aren’t technically in the “midsize” segment like camrys and altimas. And this came out in 2018 or late 2017 so Arteon wasn’t a thing in the States yet. Great car tho I wanna try it out and yes they come in at a good price point. Thanks for stopping by brother

[@devongee1776]

@@MeynMotorGroup I would argue that they are midsize options hehe because they're definitely not full size and they're definitely not compacts. I guess if we made a new category like midsize sport but ik if you go to VW's site and customize the Arteon (at least, this was true when I was looking at one), they categorize it as a midsize alongside Passat. Kia's a better example though because they actually HAVE a full size sedan in US, Cadenza.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea it’s kind of like a sport premium offering. Because Kia has the Optima and Cadenza and the Arteon kinda replaces the old CC as the stylish premium version of the Passat. I mainly just care about price and if you find aggressive enough dealers then you can make some interesting comparisons haha

[@jesuefeokagbare]

Great review bro. How does this compare to your LS?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

So ride quality, obviously LS is going to be one of the most comfortable cars in the world haha But as far as everything else, there is just so much more confidence driving this, the brakes are better, turn in is better, steering does have the on center deadness like it does with my LS. Perhaps some more aggressive brake pads and 19” lighter wheels and proper tires can make my LS feel better but it’s a cruiser at the end of the day. You just have far more confidence in pushing these new cars and straight line performance is still very good in this base 1.5. Thanks for watching my friend!

Not my cup of tea but thanks for the review

[@krymox4461]

What car did u get?

[@lapamful]

It's a no from me I'm afraid. I actually like the look quite a bit. But with this kind of car you want something larger than a flat 4. Hearing that awful engine sound every time you need a little push forward sounds depressing and uninspiring. I'll have to take your word about the fuel economy. But in my experience larger engines (within reason) where you're not constantly smashing the throttle get you better mpg. But anyway, good review.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I understand but I guess with these cars, we just gotta assume that people buying these don’t care about sound haha. And yes good point you brought up, I think I mentioned this in the review as well but large displacement NA motors are pretty good on fuel. There’s only a few Turbo engines that actually get good fuel and the Honda’s are one of them. Thanks for watching my friemd

@@MeynMotorGroup so you honestly like this 1.5l cvt over the 2.4 k24 5spd from before? .. or even the 2l sport with cvt from before?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

No I don’t like it more than the 5 speed 2.4. That k24 sounded better, even tho this is much faster, it doesn’t have the same charm as the K24. This is made for economy and for effortless power which is what the people in this segment want and they succeeded in that. An enthusiast may shy away

[@jeffreyconstance6435]

The 2.0L Turbo cuts a 13.95 1/4 quarter mile and 5.7” 0-60. So the commment about the 4 cylinder not being adequate, wrong!! Those are big V-8 numbers with 4 cylinder economy. Which means way better gas mileage than the V6, faster than the V6, and handles much better than the V6 because there is a lot less weight hung over the front wheels.
