Honda really did a good job on this car. It may not be as sporty as the previous generation but one thing for sure it is a beautiful car. It is a simple and clean design and most of all it drives smoothly.

[@Smailhondavillage]

We think its a beautiful car too!😍

[@iishyxvietxboyii1]

It looks a lot better than the 2022 model especially the rear end.

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

No Accord will look better than the 2018-2022 but this new look is growing on me. I low key LOVE the humming noise the Accord makes when at low speeds

Thank you for that demo. I learned more about my new accord from you than from the dealer I bought it from🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sheminosi3488]

This is the kind of review have been looking for. Perfectly done I love honda

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks for letting us know! We were very excited to get this review out! 😀

[@roncockerham3569]

That was the best presentation that I have seen yet. Really excellent job.

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks for the feedback!!😀

[@aliciamurphy3848]

I agree. Very helpful to understand the features of the vehicle, especially the functions of the hybrid system.

[@coventry66]

Just bought that EXACT car from Schomp here in Denver. (Got the windows tinted dark though). Just an awesome car and you did a killer job going over the key points.

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks so much!😀

[@traciboozer5764]

Most thorough review I've seen especially on the electric/ e-button part. Sounds like would be a nice car to have even tho I still prefer then last gens exterior especially the front. The interior is stellar👌🏽

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks for the comment! Justin really knows his product!

[@blakeacri5182]

Just signed off on this car earlier this week! 🤩 bad news is I won’t get it till July. 😔 It drives wonderfully and the gas mileage will be light years ahead of my 2004 Pilot. Can’t wait to get my hands on this!

[@9546aw]

The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these deficiencies will be resolved. The two most important deficiencies are the lack of All Wheel Drive and the Spare Tire. There is a convoluted workaround to get EM Radio and a heated steering wheel may seem silly if you live in Florida. If you are from the North, it is important.

[@reduxbedux102]

I just traded in my 2015 Mercedes c300 for this accord and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

[@tkt228]

Why did they remove satellite radio? I was considering this car but I do a lot of road trips and love listening xm radio

[@gadgetguytom]

Great review. I just picked my Silver EX-L from OH because I could not find one in PA. I live in Pittsburgh. Not a fan of any of the 19” Wheels. The EX-L I think is the perfect trim level.

[@darrene.mathews5566]

I agree fully with you. I don’t like the 19” wheels either. My EXL is set to arrive next week. They are not easy to come by, because the Sport edition is running the tables.

[@Smailhondavillage]

Thanks for checking out our review!😀

[@monos70]

How long does the hybrid battery lasts?

[@ellogovna5407]

I don’t get why people complain about killing the 2.0T. This is not a enthusiast car it’s meant to appeal to regular people that want a good daily with good mpg. Plus why would they waste money on developing an engine that almost no one bought. It was nice but in the end of the day it’s a business

[@yimpyoi9808]

the 2.0T accord was actually quite popular, but the engine wasnt in enough cars to continue making. they couldve put it in the civic si and that thing wouldve sold like hot cakes.

[@kennethclark3985]

I just picked up my Accord Sport-L yesterday and was wondering if the side view mirrors can be programmed, using the memory seat buttons, to tilt down when in reverse.

[@sebell69]

On my honda civix LX when I take off the hands from the wheel and on cruise control it will give me a warning saying it needs "control assistance" (ie. I am NOT a TESLA you still need to DRIVE ME warning is what I call it). But otherwise it will drive itself biggest problem I have found is when it looses track of the lines on the road due to them been Wet or just in crappy condition (the adaptive speed is still on but not the lane assist). There is and AFTER market FULL auto control for the honda (and a few other brands out there) that is pretty darn good! And cheaper than a Tesla by miles of miles!

[@pdg61met]

due to the tire size difference is the ex-l louder or quieter than the sport L when referring to road noise?

[@Dryloch]

I went with EXL and the tires noise is not even noticeable. I think the ride would be the biggest difference with the lower profile tires. The fuel economy is lower with the 19 inch tires so that also seems to suggest they will make more noise. Will probably switch out fore Crossclimate 2s down the line. Those tires are amazing.

boooooo. great review my brother but I'm still in love with my 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo 6 SPEED MANUAL. if i could have one thing from the 2023 version into my 2018 will be the full screen cluster display, other than that there’s nothing else i would change about my car

There's nothing remotely close to sporty about this car in my opinion. It actually looks older than the outgoing model. Glad I got a 22' Sport 2.0t

Not when you put them next to each other. I have a 19 sport 2.0T and just got the 23 sport L. It looks more refined. Not as fast but better ride quality.

[@alexgerstmann3007]

Those days are over ! way to go congratulations on making it look Chevy Malibu or Ford Taurus! Honda of North America took a iconic car that was actually quick and totally neutered it. Not only do take away the 10-speed and the iconic k20c but you also put cvt across-the-board way2go . Not only is it slower doesn't handle the pillars on the outside are now flat black so they will fade and stain easily aka the 9th generation but the interior materials are absolute garbage if you get the base model you get some crappy clock that looks absolutely cheap the door panels just go get one big black blob with no design elements to them whatsoever. Can I can get over the ugly Malibu Ford Taurus front end but when I took one for a test barely got out of its own way. So because Honda doesn't make it worthwhile sedan I guess I'll have to go back to the coyote platform even though I wanted a sporty four-door that I can make fast that wouldn't break the bank

[@theeofficiallcoreyy28]

Not American

[@yoshiakik.5332]

So you already test drove this new Accord? Does it look better in person or no?

[@alexgerstmann3007]

@@yoshiakik.5332 The interior looks better the outside looks like a Chevy Malibu they gave up on the front of the car they were index a little better it is slower than hell coming from a two liter which is heavily modded and planning to Mazda 2023 model. And with a perfect credit score their salesmen beg me to test drive the car he told me it was a new generation CVT I told him you're out of your effing mind a CVT is a CVT garbage but I drove it anyways I went like I said three blocks and turned around very disappointing . It's very disappointing that they spend so much money developing the 10th generation but on 11th Jan they just threw in the towel figuring we're going to go all electric pretty soon so why do we even need to try and I'll be damned if I give them my hard-earned money on a substandard subpar sup handling car that cost more money and on top of everything else on the pillars instead of gloss black they decided to go back to the 17 or 9th generation Accord and go a matte black witch turns white and looks chalky after a couple years and the cloth interior looks so cheap right out of Chevy and Ford catalog they really given up on this car they could have done so much more

[@alexgerstmann3007]

@@yoshiakik.5332 No it does not it's slower than hell and they try and get you with a new 12.3 touch screen the front end is so ugly the door panels look just generic and cheap they restyle them but there's no color nothing breaks up it's just their whatever the dash is a Honda Civic with a little upgrade the added a lot more trims but that's just a charge you more money for the same options you would have got any cheerleader turbo to make it feel like they changed a lot but they changed nothing they took away a lot of features and performance and handling and styling
