[@94AccordAW]

This thing is faster off the line than the 278 hp v6 it replaced, but I feel like in a race the J-series v6 would eventually catch up. Personally I like the older tech from Honda. I'm not sure how these are going to hold up over the years being direct injected, and turbocharged on top of that. Nowadays it's all about efficiency and power, which I think over time Honda will discover, you can't have both reliably. I hope I'm wrong, I'd really like to see how these things hold up over time. The 2.0 is definitely a way better choice than the 1.5. That is just way too much strain on a little engine pulling a heavy car, I don't know what Honda was thinking. They should really go back to naturally aspirated port injection, at least for their commuter cars.

[@tails300]

If Honda’s smart they’ll add a D-4S type setup like what Toyota did on there models. For the CVTs they could add a first gear, like the new Corolla, to address the rubber band feeling.

[@dy2str33t-king5]

I had a 2018 Civic Si for one month. As soon as the 2018 Accord 2.0 6 speed hit the lot, I traded it in. The L15 is nice for a daily and if you want an LSD with your manual trans, but the opportunity to have a factory k20 turbo......couldn't pass that up. Plus the power down the road mod for mod will do it much better. I didn't like the fact that the clutch setup on my 2018 Si would slip right from factory because it wasn't made very well and needed an upgrade before ANY power mods. But they look amazing IMO

[@rafaelmillan5800]

Great review Cameron and Jose . I just purchased the 2020 Accord Touring in White on July 2nd, silver is my second favorite color. It’s amazing I’ve been eyeing it since last year. I was thinking of the 2.0 sport as well but my heart ❤️ said Touring. I love the chrome especially the door handles. I also purchased the chrome emblems that say Accord. I’m 57 years old yes definitely a Dad car hopefully Grandpa car.

[@cartoonathalo]

Haha I rest my case but I was trying for a touring but dealers were being very dumb about the prices and the best deal I could get was on the 2.0t sport. You rarely see the touring on the road. If I were to get a touring I was going to get the champagne gold one.

First time seeing this video. I watched your video when you picked up your Type R and I loved the sound of the engine in that video. At the time I had a 19 accord lx 1.5T. It was reliable and a great deal at the time. Within 2 months of me watching that type R vid I traded for an exl 2.0T. Best decision ever. But you’re the reason I got my 2.0T.

Did u get it?

[@originalmusic401]

As a current 1.5t sport owner with 36k miles (started with 18k), the big reason for me to potentially trade for a 2.0t sport is the transmission. 10 Speed Automatic/ Manual (of course) > CVT. As a spirited driver I like to push my daily occasionally, and based on the history of CVT failures long term I don't get the confidence that it will hold up as a long term daily. I'm debating on either upgrading to a 2.0T with the chance of getting a rare manual however the 10 speed auto is very nice, or either getting a brand new Subaru WRX either 2020 or 2021; cuz awd for new england weather and I've always wanted a WRX but been kind of iffy and weighed the reliability score between it and something like the 10th gen accord.

[@peterkalos6271]

I’m in for the accord 2.0 vs the Si. If the accord had ktuner or hondata it could be interesting

[@brianulloa9926]

[@gladdy02]

I have the V6 coupe. I've driven both. Without a doubt, the new accord is better then the last generation in almost every way. Where the V6 win though, is the sounds of the engine and exhaust. Plus the V6 accord engine in known to be reliable where as this is a new engine, besides that, the new accord is better.

I have a 21 touring in metallic grey. Just did a chrome delete,gonna vht the chrome exhaust,switched to gloss black H,and accord and 2.0t symbol. Added the heated steering wheel for Canada models. And some aftermarket tailights on the way. Bought it with 16k on it and it already had a prl intake. These 10th gen accords and that 2.0t with the 10 speed is an absolute dream to drive. And my last 2 vehicles were 60,000$ and up. I think the touring is the best pick if you want adaptive dampers because it's only a few k more than the sport. And has ventilated and heated leather. It does come with alot of chrome tho.

[@aviatorsdream4686]

The Type R has the K20C1 and the 2.0t Accord has the K20C4. Same block and everything but with a smaller turbo and more moderate tune. The same K20C4 in the Acura RDX and TLX makes around 280. So with a tune, that Accord could easily be pushing 280 and maybe further with better internals and a larger turbo.

[@cartoonathalo]

Yeah, someone has about almost 400 hp on the 2.0t.

[@ceezk24ep3]

The sport actually does come with the electric damper .. I have 2.0t 2020 accord and it handles amazing in sport mode

[@cartoonathalo]

No it does not. It’s all in your head. It lets your Rev engine higher and throttle is more aggressive. Some say that the steering also feels tighter but Honda says that only the touring has it.

[@jerrykhoff9023]

I have a 2019 sport 2.0 and when sport mode is engaged it does have stiffer steering and improved engine performance, but I believe people mistake that for adaptive dampers. The car still handles fairly well.....not as good as my former German car that will remain anonymous

[@clarkkent9634]

Sport model is always in sport mode as far as the suspension. My 2.0t 6 speed only has econ mode, which kills throttle response, boost, and things like ac efficiency.

Accord Sport 2.0T - 5.7 sec 0-60mph Civic Si - 6.2 sec 0-60mph. Plus Car and driver got 5.3 sec in the Accord Sport after 40k miles. Going by those numbers, I don't think the race would be close between the two cars. The 2.0T Accord smoked the old V6 Accord.

[@ArnelZapataJr]

Don't like all that chrome. Honda should make the Sport trim look more sportier in my opinion. If you look at their Midsize competition: the Camry, Optima, Sonata, all those have a more sportier styling. Hopefully they make it look more aggressive for the next version.

[@sn4rl277]

Great review, I currently have a 9th Gen Sport CVT and plan to go 10th Gen 2.0t Touring in a few months (if I can find the color I want). I will say I can see folks wanting a traditional transmission over a CVT. There are some very clear differences that CVT's have vs geared transmissions. Overall though the MPG would be the chief reason to go CVT. But if you want more power the CVT's are going to top out pretty fast. I have seen folks modifying the 1.5t Accords and the CVT's failing on them. It's just not worth the headaches to modify and basically shorten the life of a CVT. The cost to repair a CVT is not worth it to me. I believe that Honda Accord 2.0t is great balance between MPG and street performance along with giving you the roominess of a midsize yet some zippiness of a smaller car. Or like it was said in the video "Dad Car". Keep in mind this Accord 2.0t (K20C4) is not the same engine from the Type-R (K20C1). The Acura RDX would be much closer to the Accord as far as the engine goes with the RDX having slightly more HP. Also this talk of a "De-Tuned" Type-R engine being in the Accord 2.0t is not true. They are differences in the engine internals, turbo, fuel system and even the cylinder heads are different. Here is a really good breakdown of the differences of the K20C1 and K20C4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonNe4GAqZmWpNk But basically the K20C1 is designed to handle more power than the K20C4. So please stop calling the K20C4 a "Detuned" Type-R engine. Thanks

[@TheMichaelmarin84]

I drive a 2017 accord touring v6, I test drive the 2.0t. It’s fun to drive, but, I love my v6 power.

[@cartoonathalo]

Yeah, great choice. V6 is faster in speed but the 2.0t is faster because of the turbo and lower gears. On drawbacks to the v6 is that you have the 6 speed (auto) trans (should have the 9 speed like acura) and the infotainment system is very outdated.

[@TheMichaelmarin84]

cartoon209 I like the 2 screens that my v6 comes with. However, the v6 auto trans I have gives me poor mileage (15-16mpg) in the city (I have a heavy foot). Then I saw the Acura TL type s coming out next year. Not sure if I want to keep my accord anymore 😒

[@cartoonathalo]

Michael Marin it’s up to you, the TLX are going to have 2.0t and the type a is going to have a V6 with turbo. The choice is yours but who knows how reliable the type a will be? The auto transmission in the accord 9th gen is a bummer but it’s good. If only they did the 9 speed like the pilots or Acura cars.

I traded in my 2018 Accord 2.0T Manual for a 2020 Si. They both have their pros and cons, but I really missed the better stereo and better shifter. I liked the bigger screen and all that torque, though.

[@brettsmith314]

Seems like you downgraded

[@chrisOG305]

Great video man!! 👏 can’t wait for the race.

[@yd5937]

Is this color actually better than the white?

[@michaelfelt201]

I have owned a Honda Accord Sport 1.5 and the CVT is a definite downer!

[@cartoonathalo]

It’s nice but very rubber bandy if you get what I mean

[@marcusmcneal7453]

The Accord seems like it would be way too heavy to effectively use the CVT. Seems to work good in the Civic, but I wouldn’t want one not an Accord.

[@cartoonathalo]

Marcus McNeal it’s alright and nice to have but bumper to bumper traffic you start to feel the rubberbandiness of the transmission. Also if you give the Accord gas, you will feel the accord lag and the cvt wind up. Down shifting is okay but when you get to the “lower gears” it’s feel like a rubber band with tension.

[@FritoBurrito.]

Funny you brought up that shifting problem with your forearm hitting the drinks. I own a 2.0 manual and yeah... That's still a problem haha. Shifter is in the way

[@hughlynas6219]

The Honda motors with a CVT transmission have an "Atkinson Cycle" engine designed specifically for CVT with a broader torque band, but lower peak torque. With a 10 speed automatic they probably use a normal non Atkinson Cycle engine with a much higher peak torque.

[@NoEgg4u]

@12:32 "It's really hard to get 2.0's right now, because dealers are kind of marking them up" That is a marketing ploy, and will bring in extra $$ from people that believe that marketing ploy. Any dealer that has a Sport 2.0 on their lot will sell you that car for $28,000 (+tax and motor vehicle fees). Many dealers will give you every story under the sun, as to why the 2.0's are going for $33K (or in that vicinity). Some people will go along, and pay $33K, and some people will negotiate the price down to $30K, and feel like they got a great deal (feel like they saved thousands), when, in fact, they overpaid by thousands. Make an offer between $27,500 and no higher than $28,000. Let them act offended at your offer. It is only an act. They are trained to pull your emotional strings. Do not let them sucker you in with their acting. Be firm with your offer, and refuse to go up. If you pay more than $28,000 then you got ripped off. They might tell you that the car comes with window etchings, and charge you hundreds for that. Their cost is, at most, $10. Remember, every reason that they give you for paying more is BS. Walk away, and go to a different dealership, if they refuse your offer. When you go to the parking lot, and get into your car, they will run out to bring you back in. They will probably say that they will come down to $28,600 (they never stop trying to get a few hundred more out of you). Tell them "No", and that you are done with their BS. If they tell you $28,100, tell them "No", and leave. When they are convinced that you are leaving, that is when they will accept your offer of $28,000. And have them throw in 3 to 5 years of free oil changes and tire rotations, as well as a free cargo net. You can even say it is because of the hard time that they gave you. They will agree to your terms. If they come up with any excuses, no matter how legitimate is sounds, you should leave (because it is just more BS). They might tell you that they will lose their job or get into trouble. It is BS. They will not lose the deal over free oil changes and a cargo net. Lastly, sign nothing, until they agree to your offer. No matter what they put in front of you, and no matter what reason they give you, no matter how reasonable it sounds, do not sign anything until they agree to your offer. There is no reason that they cannot agree to a price first, and have you sign papers afterwards. If you sign anything first, they will use that to intimidate you. Cheers!

[@migelle82]

This acord is so underrated.........

[@letd1995]

the 2.0 accord has sunroof and power seats vs 1.5 sport don’t

[@cartoonathalo]

1.5t has power seats as well. 1.5t doesn’t have heated seats.

[@DieNastyKing]

Lmaooo wait whaaaat?!?! I knew I noticed that road you were driving on y’all is in Elk Grove?! I’m in South Sac, when I get a car this summer when I graduate Ima mod it first day I get my hands on it🤣 Would love to grace the channel if I’m worthy😭😭

[@wbwayne8887]

Gotta love that truck like Accord turning diameter. I would still buy one, but that definitely isn't an Accord strong point.

[@dirtdog619]

yo, did you adjust the audio settings in your accord ? I just got a 2020 touring and the audio isn't that good. just wondering what you set them to so the quality is better than the default settings

[@cartoonathalo]

My settings: -2 treble, +1 mid range, +2 bass. My other setting to try is +2 treble, +1 mid range, +2 bass

[@895takashi]

Why don’t you slide the cup holder back halfway and then put your drink in the big cup holder. I fit my 40oz. Hydroflask no problem in it

[@jbarrera6638]

I have the 1.5t currently but will upgrade to a 2.0t manual as well soon.

[@volcalstone]

11:42 when I saw that e-tran I was like wait is this video in Elk Grove haha. Nice video and it kept coming up on my recommendation but finally saw it today. I had a 18 Sports 1.5T but recently got a 20 Touring which now only comes in 2.0T since 19. Wow big difference!! I love those active dampers! The Accord is super nice overall. I was thinking for a bit to get a 20 Civic Sports Touring hatchback cause those are nice too but I wanted that bigger engine and space too of course. It would've been cheaper but I got a great price for my Accord Touring.

[@BIGGIEMURUA1982]

If you use it on sport mode expect to fill up your tank alot frequently. It holds like 12 gallons per fill up. You will be 🔥 more gas quick. On economy it can give you about 28 miles a gallon if driven without stress.

[@masterninja3271]

the 2.0T from the accord is the same engine in the type R just less power

[@tituapatipapa1672]

That engine is dope and the car looks awsome so much room definitely somthing to look at

[@cartoonathalo]

You won’t be disappointed

[@chriswoods4232]

Definitely a great car

[@cartoonathalo]

Chris Woods it is a great car. I highly recommend the 2.0t over the 1.5t.

[@1g2002541]

with all the torque, Honda needs to put this motor in the CRV

[@midwestfarm757]

It's in the RDX, and that is probably why they won't put it in the CRV.

[@cartoonathalo]

Tractor Home Improvement honestly that’s what really made me get a 2.0t. My uncle has a RDX and he let me drive it when I had my 1.5t. After that I really wanted a 2.0t more

[@34skyline]

Waiting for the refresh and hope they redesign the rear the taillights are horrible looking

[@cartoonathalo]

Lol tail lights aren’t amazing but the rest of the car I love so far.... until the refresh lol 😂

[@abenezerdemsashe8924]

wowow 7k subs nice man 🙌🏾

[@Tru3luck]

Have you ever thought about a speaker upgrade and while you're at it installing some deadening?

[@cartoonathalo]

One day, eventually.... I just want to slowly mod things

[@ernieparker4309]

I got a 21 touring in sonic grey pearl. I love it more than any car I owned. Nice review. I gotta get them led reflector lights for sure

[@kellyrackham1266]

I have the accord 2.0t touring and I enjoy it

[@jayparks3051]

Saddened the 2021 will no longer have Manual trans. So much for #savethemanuals 😢

[@cartoonathalo]

Or coupe civics, or Si’s or the Honda Fit

[@jbarrera6638]

Si will come back remember they missed out the 10th gen 16 model year.

[@Survn]

There is actually quite a difference in the fk8 motor and accord motor. jalopnik.com/heres-exactly-what-makes-the-2018-honda-accord-and-civi-1820164645

[@dy2str33t-king5]

THIS^^^ I was watching the vid and I'm like, it's DEF not a detuned type R engine. That and the trans is different also. The only real comparison to the Type R you can make is they both have a turbo K20 lol. Thanks for the link, Didn't want to have to do it myself.

[@gregwalker4236]

28k? that's a bargain and a half. i'd like to see what one is like with 150k on it. i bought my 2008 exl 2.4 with 139k several years ago and being retired don't put a lot miles on it. it's getting time to update and the 2.0 accord is the only one i'd consider...thanks, subscribed...

[@cartoonathalo]

So far the highest I seen in mileage (Accord forum on Facebook) is 101,XXX miles. All legit commuting and he has a 2.0t accord touring 2018

[@gregwalker4236]

@@cartoonathalo thanks for the info. i hope i can find nice used one--it would very probably be my last car and a nice way to go before leaving the driving to someone else!

[@chigasaki06]

I'm trying to decide between this or the Mazda 6 2.5. I like the acceleration of the Honda, but I prefer the looks and interior of the Mazda.

[@WeAreN1nja]

The Mazda 6 has no aftermarket whatsoever. The Accord being siblings with the CTR gives it a HUGE aftermarket.

[@TEESHA622]

I have a 2015 Si and I've thought about moving to the Accord 2.0T but I need it 6 Speed manual

[@stateniland]

got a 2021 Hybrid Touring.. 2.0 Dark Steel w Black int. Love the ride with adaptive suspension..

[@dailymotion8]

Hey, nice review, big accord fan, can you tell me the track you played at the end of the review, really like the track

[@algorerhyth]

You got a new sub .. great review and interview or ownership

[@algorerhyth]

*of

[@algorerhyth]

I just moved back to LA and just realized how much Mexicans like Hondas.. Accords in particular. I'm in Gardena so mucho Accords

[@Camhill182]

Thanks Al Gore

[@Chinese080808]

Did your friend ever consider upgrading into a manual transmission? 🤔

[@cartoonathalo]

I do a commute lol it’s not worth the time and energy to do it lol plus that’s clutch burning and burning. I do bumper to bumper traffic

[@btbbelesky]

cartoon209 I am with you. Outside of COVID times I spend so much time in traffic. I always have to go auto and it’s nice to have non cvt options!

[@bens2603]

Does the 2.0T Honda Accord also suffer from the oil dilution issue that the 1.5T Honda Accord has?

[@nikm4253]

No

[@xGee16]

Honda Accord or Dodge Charger ? Talking about gas and mileage and Ofc faster

[@takishabaker7520]

I had the 1.5t but I think it maybe totaled. It had oil dilution problems and you can feel the transmission jerk like someone hit you. If I get another car It definitely be the 2.0t.
