Accord Sport 2.0t 6M (5 Reasons to not buy!)

Should you buy a Honda Accord Sport 2.0? I take a look at 5 reasons to buy it, and 5 reasons not to.
For the past twelve months, I've been driving my 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t 6m. This car is the same as the Honda Accord Sport 2020 version! The car is a lot of fun, but twelve months has given me an opportunity to properly evaluate it, and I've identified some things I really like about the car, and some annoyances. I'll go over 5 reasons you might want to buy the car, and possible reasons not to.

[@woodswalker1111]

Love my 2.0t 6mt and the effortless acceleration. If you keep it at 65 mph with an occasional burst to 90 mph (to pass the slow cars and trucks) you can get over 40 mpg out of it. That's calculated.

[@MattonEverything6000]

Thanks for sharing!

[@josefuentes2329]

That’s such a lie I have a 1.5 sport and I average 25 mpg I cant imagine the 2.0t gets 40!

[@woodswalker1111]

Jose, I was on my way from point "A" to point "B" where the speed limit was 65 mph. Every once in a while I had to pass slow moving traffic. It was about a 300 mile trip. Around town where I live, I average about 25 mph. Sometimes it's less depending on how dumb people are being.

Great review, no fluff, right to the point! Thank you for respecting my time.

[@thatoneotherotherguy]

Good video. At an auto show a few years ago, I thoroughly test drove a Civic Type R and 2.0t 6MT Accord back to back. The Accord did feel like a detuned CTR, but in a good way. Very smooth power, more torque than you need. Even the base 1.5t is enough power. Wish they would’ve put an LSD in the 2.0t cars. And it’s a shame they ditched the manual after two model years. But also cool they even bothered in the first place.

i think if you bought the 1.5L Turbo will fit you more especially in fuel economy.

[@fraservalley9027]

Hey Matt, thanks for your review. You don’t say in what year your Accord was built (check the door jam). Earlier versions of any car tend to have a few issues which are improved as the car moves through the model years, which are 2018-2022 for this version of the Accord. I always buy mid to late in the model year run to allow for these few things to be addressed. I have a 2021, built in 2021 and so far it is excellent. Honda has had three years to address issues before they built my car and I believe they likely have done so being a competitive brand in the market place and as reflected in a popular consumer car magazine that publishes ratings based on a survey of owner’s experiences.

[@ITSHONDEEZY]

It replaced the v6 accord so gas mileage isn’t supposed to be the best

[@davidhanson3345]

I keep hearing about the poor shifting with the 10 speed automatic. I have not noticed any problems with my 2021. It seems like an orchestrated plan to negatively comment on Honda itself. It does seem that reporters do repeat themselves. Monkey see, monkey do. My gas milage average is high, as I do a lot of slow driving. 30 below zero driving gets down to 20 miles per gallon in city driving. It gets a lot better gas milage than my previous 2018 RA-4. This is the best car I have ever had. It is not a race car or Audi. It is a Honda. Good reliable transportation with a little zip. I will be happier than most at "Trade In Time". A lot of other cars go faster. Faster to fall apart mostly. Have you priced a dual clutch transmission? Have you checked resale values? Best to listen to Scotty Kilmer about cars. Education is always the key.

[@jaybru661]

Scotty is a no nonsense guy, love his videos! 👏

For your need pad. You can can change that molding , just ask for that same molding from the dealer. However ask for one from the ExL trims. Its padded.

[@MattonEverything6000]

This is great, I will try this!

[@popalocklocksmithslw]

Don’t know about the fuel economy. I’ve achieved an overall average of 7.5 l/100 km (31 mpg avg) and at best trips at 6.2 l/100 km. All depends on how you drive.

[@Sitchy77]

Appreciate the review

[@NCC2087]

I just bought a gently used, white 2018 1.5 Liter. Looks just like yours and it’s a manual, which I’m LOVING. #savethemanuals

[@philliphols]

Makes me wonder how people managed tire pressure before monitoring systems were a thing. I feel it’s an often neglected aspect of basic vehicle maintenance. I had an 05 accord v6 6 speed coupe, best vehicle I have ever owned. However, the aluminum wheels were notoriously poor and leaked air during cold months like it was their job. I stopped for air pressure checks and fill-ups more frequently than fuel. Also, my 2005 v6 got better mileage than this new 2.0 turbo 🤷‍♂️

[@MattonEverything6000]

Yea, not surprised on the fuel economy piece! I do manually check the pressure on a regular basis, it’s just the light turns on when there is nothing wrong. Thanks for the comment!

[@sohackitj]

I have a 2018 Civic 6MT, and I'm also over 6 ft. tall. I can confirm the issue with the knee irritated by the center console, even on the Civic. Mine has an obnoxious crease line where the two pieces of plastic meet, and it digs into my knee while driving. I cut a few inches of cushioning material and double-stick taped it over that area. Without that I don't think I would be able to drive it long distances, and I have a 110 mile commute every day. Otherwise It's a great car.

[@jonp2338]

Good points!

[@Cute_BB907]

Can you do an economy test. Where ur actually trying to save gas? Or when you were daily driving it you don't ever waste gas

[@sbk4me]

Sorry but I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned. So I take this video with a grain of salt. Not that it's perfect by all means, but cost vs. Value vs. Fun, it is truly a winner and you could do much worse. I've had nothing but pleasure out of this car and only wish I had the money to modify it slightly.

[@MattonEverything6000]

Definitely a fun car!

[@joemama7031]

I have the 2.0t accord as well but with the 10 speed and one of the only drawbacks I've noticed to getting the 10 speed is it takes a lot of time to kick down compared to dropping it a gear or skipping down two gears in the 6 speed manual GTI I traded it for

[@AlleywayAcademic]

I had same issue with warning and see dealer lights. Turns out it was the stability control unit. It would act up and knock all my systems askew.

[@justincase1228]

I’ve noticed that with iOS 14 - it seems very buggy now. Interesting that the centre console doesn’t bother you, thanks for sharing that - may be helpful for others!

[@wildmexican12]

The fuel economy is the main reason I might pass on the 2.0 and go down to another model. The 2021 2.0 is getting away from the stick and im fearful this might turn into a standard option for future cars. Overall it looks like a real nice car

Are these 1.5 engines turbo also? What’s the HP and torque? This new 2.0 has slightly more hp and tq than my 05 3.0 v6. The v6 got me better mileage though. I’m curious, I would love to drive the 1.5. What’s the rpm redline? And does the power live way up high or is will it pull from a lower rpm also?

[@wbwayne8887]

@@philliphols The hp and torque of the 1.5T is 192. 2020 was the last year it and the 2.0T were available with the 6spd manual. The 2021-2022 Accord 1.5T is only available with a CVT, which actually does a really good job keeping the boost up on the small turbo. Same powertrain as the Honda Civic with the 1.5T.

[@diamondrmp]

If you want memory seats get the touring 2.0t. I get about 32 miles per gallon. If my conversion is correct you are getting about the same. To many people buy these higher performance engines expecting great gas mileage. You should have gotten a civic or the Insight. Complaining about those things is like complaining that your gorgeous busty girlfriend gets attention. It is what it is. Now your electronic gremlins are legit complaints. I will tell you from experience in other cars and this just happened in my Accord. An old battery many times is the culprit for those irritating occasional warnings. The TPS I HATE. I had a Dodge Dart before my Accord and I liked that I could view each tire's pressure. Something really seems off with your electronics because I drive over all the types of roads you mention and never get a false warning. You posted this two years ago I'm curious if you still have the car and if those electronic problems are still happening.
