Thanks for another great review. I always enjoy watching your videos over others.

[@PaulsPlace]

I appreciate that!

[@wackit6756]

First time seeing your reviews and I thought you did a great job so I subscribed. This is a beautiful car but I’m waiting to see what the new Civic Hybrid brings to the table. Hope you can review that one also!

[@Aheihd0jwi0]

Tank you

[@anaveragehuman2937]

That's weird. Every other reviewer and lots of folks on the forums say the ventilated seats do next to nothing. Maybe you got some that work? Nice review, thanks for sharing.

[@PaulsPlace]

Thanks! Yes, this was the first vehicle I’ve tested that actually had good ventilated seats. Maybe it’s luck of the draw.

Hi Paul. Thanks for the great review. Been car shopping for a few months now and it's really between this and the Civic Touring (which is now coming in hybrid as you noted). I like the looks of the Civic more but like how the Accord is a bit more refined naturally as it's a step up. I'm trying to wait for the Civic hybrid to hit dealerships to make my decision but I may just jump to the Accord as my current car is on its last legs and am afraid dealerships will play the markup game again since it will be new and finding Civic Touring/Sport Tourings was already difficult. I'm a bit stuck on what to do. As a Civic Touring owner yourself and with the hybrid coming what would you do? Again thanks for the review!

[@PaulsPlace]

Hi Brent! Thanks for watching. I actually just finished my owner review on my 2024 Civic Touring, it should be uploaded and released tonight! I answer that question in the video, but personally; I’d wait and see!

[@YourIdolOfficial]

I am curious about driver seat headroom as i am 6’2. Also which car has more headroom 2024 CRV hybrid or 2024 Accord hybrid?

[@PaulsPlace]

The CRV, by about an inch!

[@keithridgeway985]

I test drove an Accord Touring Hybrid today, and I am 6’2” and had a ton of both headroom and legroom.

[@Boone-ng7uw]

Was you able to test the Bose Sound System?

[@PaulsPlace]

Yes I did! Not on video though, I should have done that. It’s really good, I’d say just as good as the Civic (which is a B-Tier System)

[@ricktrue8441]

No markups? What's that extra sticker on the window?

[@PaulsPlace]

For the splash guards they install on every vehicle. They can be removed upon request. I kept mine on because the splash guards actually work.

[@Kinja_]

Question is, is it better than the new gen camry?

[@PaulsPlace]

Find out soon! I should have access to one within a month!

[@Fadic4]

@@PaulsPlacecan you do a 0-60 of each?

[@abrahamcasanova9901]

Seems to me like a lovely dayly driver. Between the Accord and the new Camry I wonder which one has a more refined drive.

[@PaulsPlace]

I’m trying to get my hands on one!! I’m wondering that myself!

[@Fadic4]

Savagegeese recently did a comparison of the two, they said the Accord has a more refined and isolated driving experience, and they didn’t even have the Touring version of the Accord which is more isolated vs the other trims.

[@topranked5465]

@@Fadic4yup Recently test drove both sport L and touring and the touring is so much quieter than the sport L. Def getting the touring. Which color do you think looks good on the touring?

[@Fadic4]

@@topranked5465 I like the new dark blue they have.

[@kenj.8897]

Not a huge fan of the new body either . 👍I wonder if it has the quiet wheels . My 24 hybrid CRV has them and Zero road noise

[@sergioferrer4185]

Which one do you have: hybrid sport, hybrid sport-L , hybird Touring??

[@sergioferrer4185]

Which CRV you have?? Hybrid sport, hybrid sport-L, hybrid Touring??

[@kenj.8897]

Touring

[@sergioferrer4185]

@@kenj.8897 mine hybrid sport-l, 18 inch sounds has little road noise. I should get 19 inch and tire from the touring version then. Thanks

[@kenj.8897]

​​@@sergioferrer4185I don't think that's the only thing, I do believe the touring has more sound deading material throughout . I think the Turing has a sound deadening windshield also. There are plenty of good products out there that you can add to kill sound. I did that to my 21 F-250 and it was incredible how much sound it killed.

I prefer the 2022- 2021 Honda accord builds
