2021 Acura TLX vs Honda Accord vs Hyundai Sonata N Line // DRAG & ROLL RACE

Thomas and James have put countless cars down the Throttle House test track. The 2020 Honda Accord 2.0T ($41,505.00 CAD) with a 10 speed auto has eaten many of them down the quarter mile but today we’ve brought out two challengers to see if we can de-throne the king of quick economy. The all new 2021 Acura TLX AH-AWD (Seen here in its platinum Elite trim $52,305.00) with the same 2.0T engine but added AWD, and the 2021 Sonata N-Line ($37,999) with 290 HP & 311 lb ft torque should give the Honda a run for its money. Things don't always go as predicted. Watch now and find out! SUBSCRIBE!

The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has a problem where the engine seizes without warning. The average repair cost is about $5,000 and the average mileage at the time of seizing is around 90,000 miles. A class action lawsuit in 2015 found the 2.4-liter engine to be defective.

[@traxxasftw]

The 2020/2021 accord is truly the most impressive vehicle released in these years. I drove one in 2020 and was just floored at the performance, refinement, fit & finish. You simply cannot beat them for practicality and affordability. Someone down below was talking about Nissan Maxima...they are fun to drive but not as refined nor are they even near the same value (my pricings with similar trim was +$10,000) and they simply do not have the reliability to be a car I would recommend. I am not brand loyal, I simply think Honda has a far superior product in this segment, especially when value and longevity are apart of the equation.

Tried out an Accord back in Nov of 2019 and I loved it. I liked the feel and handling, and how it looked classy and understated. My wife loves the Camry TRD, she thought it was more fun, and the interior styling was far more open and inviting. The Sonata N looks fine, but we haven't had a chance to try one out for ourselves. I am really disappointed in the Acura, but with that AWD and the weight, it probably dominates those other competitors when it comes to snowy winter driving.

@@raiderfly I initially liked the design of the car seeing it in all these videos, but in person I didn't look at it all that well since I went to buy it on an afternoon. Basically the car only looks good from the rear end. The passengers sides look extremely cheap because Hyundai cheaped out and put a piece of hard touch plastic where the extra small window would go, and keep in mind I have the limited version which is the highest trim. The interior also isn't great, they put piano black around the cup holders but put some type of rubber plastic material around the gear selector, this should be reversed because that's how it is in most cars, that use both materials. The piano black plastic can scratch easily if you accidently hit your water bottle against the plastic trying to put it into the cup holder. The adaptive cruise control sucks because at the lowest distance setting the car still leaves enough room for almost 2 and half cars to fit in the gap between you and the car in front, this makes people behind you annoyed, and as a result I get cut off a lot, while feeling like an asshole for holding the lane back. The Collison warning is also extremely annoying like sometimes it comes on when I am switching lanes, and there is a car next to me. Now my biggest gripe is the extreme wind and road noise. I had a Honda Accord before and that had a lot of wind noise, but this blows it out of the water. If you are going over 40mph you can really start to hear the wind noise. At 60mph it becomes extremely loud, and at 80mph it's basically unbearable. This leads me to constantly checking to make sure if all 4 of my windows and sunroof are closed. I usually have to turn my music up super high just to be able to hear it over the noise. I had a 2017 Honda Accord before this car that someone hit and totaled, and my Honda Accord was only around $1200 more expensive. But the Honda Accord had less road/ wind noise, better materials in the cabin, and a shorter distance between you and the car in front for the adaptive cruise control. Plus it was also faster, this car takes awhile to pickup when you need to overtake someone. Not to mention that car is also 12 inches longer giving you more room overall. I also had terrible time at the dealership, unrelated to the car itself, but it has completely turned me away from any future Hyundai products, because they wouldn't honor things written on their website. I think for the money, the new Civic is definitely the better buy since it's basically a mini Accord. I stupidly assumed that the new Civic wouldn't be available until early September, I should have just waited a few extra weeks.

these videos are the greatest accord commercial ever, i swear

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

This Throttlehouse video saved me from trading my Accord Sport 2.0 for this Nline and for that I am truly grateful. If you listen to all of these million videos on KZbin you would think this car is a Maclaren. They all talk about 5 seconds to 60 but if you notice there are no actual videos showing 5 seconds to 60. That makes us suspicious of funny business between them and the manufacturer. Throttlehouse does nice unbiased real world tests with intelligent information conveyed to the public.

[@JudahRichardson1]

> listen to all of these million videos on KZbin Fortunately there are these things called magazines with printed text that you can actually *read* 🤯 Motor Trend & Automobile tested the N-Line at 5.3 seconds to 60 and Car & Driver tested it at 5 seconds flat. The lowest Accord 2.0t number I've seen is 5.4 seconds. There's no funny business going on; 0.3s 60 time differences are normal if you *read* (there's that word again) independent instrumented tests. Most KZbinrs don't do independent instrumented tests because viewers watch for experience, sound, and subjective impressions, not numbers that you can *read*. To me it sounds like the N-Line cut torque due to the ambient temperature, which could result in dangerous wheelspin + torque steer on slippery roads from a dead start (recall: its TSC can't be fully defeated). Now why didn't the Accord have the same problem? 1) Less torque to mitigate 2) More development and field time, which means Honda have had more time to spread R&D and improvement costs over the life of the car 3) Hyundai probably cut corners in cold weather testing to keep costs down. BTW I'm a former Accord owner so technically I should be stanning Honda but I'll go with MT, C&D, & Automobile's instrumented tests over an uninstrumented KZbin drag race.

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

@@JudahRichardson1 I am embarrassed, since my last comment where I was speaking negative about the Nline, I actually went out and traded my 2.0 sport for a Sonata Nline. Absolutely thrilled with the car. At the time I wrote that, I did not know much about the car. Everything about the Nline feels higher quality then the Accord and while I would have preferred a Stinger or g70, the prices on those were a little out of my range, this car most definitely satisfies my driving appetite!

[@XWXW-lk4jf]

@@JudahRichardson1 I think another thing to consider here, at least from what I have noticed and a Hyundai mechanic confirmed, this car takes some time to break-in, with this 2.5T DCT. For about the first 1,200 miles or so the car felt sluggish. The pedal was stiff and tough to push. I was told that is normal and the best way to break it in is to challenge it and train it to be aggressive. Fast forward to now and the car is driving excellent. In these races, if they are racing cars not broken in, then it is not gonna perform at it's best. Whether or not people agree with that or not is another thing, but it is what I have experienced and was told by Hyundai.

[@JudahRichardson1]

@@XWXW-lk4jf I feel ya on that. My car (2012 Nissan Maxima Special Edition) catches a lot of hate on the internet but it's approximately the same. The CVT has to learn from you and you have to learn how to use it well. Once you do, though, you can expect to smoke most other drivers you encounter.

[@timothycoyne5874]

The additional weight of the TLX has to be a big factor. I just a quick search, and the TLX in that AWD spec weighs almost 700 pounds more than the Accord. Most people buying this car for a daily driver won’t care, but in a drag race mass matters.

[@kamronhd7763]

no shit

[@TheBreakfastLover]

that 700 lbs gets you a double-wishbone suspension, better handling chassis, AWD, and a torque-vectoring rear axle. Not very useful for straight line acceleration but definitely more fun to drive overall and better in the winter. The upcoming Type S would destroy the Accord and Sonata N-line.
