What We Learned After Testing a Honda Accord for 40,000 Miles

[@glamslamcam]

I have the exact same Honda Accord, year, color & model & i truly enjoy the car. I don’t think the car looks bad at all. In fact, I’m seeing more & more of them on the road so others seem to think it looks great too. It’s a very easy car to drive and very responsive to the driver and my needs behind the wheel. My only complaints are that it doesn’t have a heated steering wheel. I’m glad the 25 has one but that should’ve been there the moment this current look came out in 2023. And there’s no reason why there isn’t a 360-Camera in this car. Honda screwed up royally not having this in there. Aside from these hiccups, the 2024 Honda Accord is a car I’d definitely recommend & this review confirms why this is a fantastic car to own. Great review!

[@AlrienJ]

Does anyone actually use 360 cams? I know someone who has it on their old Infiniti and I've never seen him actually use it. He uses the backup camera and mirrors to back up which seems a lot faster and more practical. I'd rather pay for real luxury than useless gimmicks

[@marksimonds13]

Good review - thanks! I have a '24 EX-L and have put on 7k miles on it so far. Getting a consistent 50-52 mpg. Have noticed a slight drop (48 mpg) during cold weather drives where it is around 30 degrees. Overall I love this car... quiet, well made, and very comfortable. I do agree Honda needs to power the passenger seat and a heated steering wheel would be nice!

[@syusi]

I love my 2025 Accord EXL hybrid. I did pay extra for a spare tire that fits in the existing trunk wheel well, but other than that minor annoyance it has been a perfect car for short and long road trips. Mileage is exceptional and drivability seems to be dialed in for my everyday needs. I couldn’t be happier. I even like the looks!

[@tomfaz4193]

Great car as always from Honda. Note that the Touring model in the video comes stock with low profile tires that are considered summer tires. It was mentioned in the video that snow tires were needed for winter driving. I personally would go for the EXL model that comes with 225/50-17 normal size tires and provides better traction in snow and ice. I am extremely happy that Honda provides physical controls instead of putting a flat screen tv in the dashboard.

[@dianewilson7415]

I got the EX-L for that specific reason of the 17" wheels. That's a better ride, better tire wear, and better mileage. I'm extremely pleased with this car.

My previous 2020 Touring Accord w/19" wheels came with Hankook all weather tires, not summer. Has that changed?

[@donpaulweatherpluspaul2670]

I had leased 7 consecutive high-end Accords (V6s, then the marvelous 2 L turbo w/the incredibly smooth 10 speed AT). But in 2023, the Accord became 1 inch too long for my garage, and I ended up switching to the then-hard to get Sport Touring 2023 CRV hybrid. It has the same superb drivetrain as the Accord hybrid, except I have AWD, nice to have outside of Buffalo. It's slowER than the Accord Touring because it weighs 500 lb more and has the AWD, but it's not SLOW. Excellent off-the-line torque and more than adequate passing power. I'm sure the Accord Touring is just as quiet, but the CRV Sport Touring, with its acoustical glass and wheel wells is the quietest Honda I've had...though, like in the Accord, still could use a little more work on road noise on coarse pavement. The cornering is amazingly good for a taller vehicle, and the drivetrain is just as described as in this video review...wonderful. I miss the HUD I had in my last Accord Touring model, but I love that I still have Sirius/XM and the heated steering wheel, along with Nav for the King of Lost. Flaws? No spare, as in the Accord hybrid..slight instrument panel rattle between 60-70 mph...first Honda rattle ever! Sirius/XM drops out more often than in my previous Hondas. Plusses? Seats are at PERFECT height for this old dude's arthritic knees, so getting in and out no longer requires pain. As with all hybrids, mileage drops with colder weather and at interstate speeds. However, in warm weather during the urban cycle, I exceed EPA numbers. Tank averages 37 mpg in mixed driving warm weather, 32 in wintry weather. AWD may not be as good as Subaru's, but it seemed to work fine, especially in snow mode. Bottom line for me: I sat in a new Accord at my dealer's recently, and I have zero remorse about having to switch to the CRV Sport Touring (which I know C & D also included in their newest Ten Best list). The ease of entry and exit simply afford more comfort than in the Accord. Subjectively, in the gorgeous extra-cost brighter blue, it's far more attractive to me than the nice but overly bland new Accord. As large as the CRV is, it fools the eye. At 184" in length, it's 8" shorter than the Accord, yet still has a rather cavernous interior. Same superb ergonomics, too, along with the Bose sound system. I loved my Accords, but I love my CRV Sport Touring hybrid (quieter than the other 2 CRV hybrids) even more. Nice job on the Accord review!

[@a32tl]

We have a '25 Accord Hybrid Touring and the only real gripe I have with the car was mentioned in this video. The front passenger seat definitely needs a height adjustment. It sits way too low for anyone under 5'10" or so. I'm actually looking to buy a "booster" cushion for that seat. Otherwise, this car is very nice to drive. It's extremely smooth, refined, roomy, economical, comfortable and borderline luxurious. I still wish Honda offered the 2.0T option. Unfortunately, that engine is long gone for the Accord.

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

Had a rental accord for a while and honestly I was overall impressed. I kinda miss it and I may even buy one. What I didn’t like is how damn bright the lights are, I was getting flashed by EVERYONE. I do like though that Honda makes it literally impossible to turn the headlights off at night when not in park. The off switch is a temporary switch, and when you let go of the switch it bounces back to auto. The one I had was a non-hybrid and honestly the turbo lag made it kinda fun, that old school 90s turbo kick was always a fun experience. I didn’t like that Honda doesn’t give you a color choice for the pillar and roof material, it’s grey only for all models. The subtlety of the design BEGS for black on black on black on black. Black everything. All of it. Honda won’t let you spec an accord like that, and that bugs me. I also didn’t like that the AC took FOREVER to pump out cold air. That’s not an accord problem though, that’s a 1234YF problem with all modern cars. Otherwise it’s delightful and I LOVE the driver seat adjustments. I can kick the thigh adjustment all the way up and the leave the butt section all the way down and the bolstering feels tight so it makes me feel like I’m in a Recaro bucket, which is a fun gimmick to make me feel like I’m driving a race car lol Love the reviews Carlos, keep em coming!

[@GlennC789]

You LIKE that you can't turn the lights off at night? That's crazy to me. What if you're cruising slowly through some dark space and don't want to blind everybody in range? A campground comes to mind, or my own longish uphill driveway, where my lights will shine into the second-story windows of everybody across? Is it really a good thing to disallow basic controls from the car's driver?

Lack of heated steering is a weird ommission but rarely noticed. No 360 camera on the top trim was another miss. Otherwise, no complaints. Superb long distance cruiser. Smooth quiet with excellent climate control. Tech is outstanding with built-in Google. Would be the perfect midsize sedan with aforementioned fixes, AWD & 20-30 more hp/torque 😎 Individual drive set at Sport steering & Eco engine for best overall driving experience, IMO.

[@howebrad4601]

Most people are just looking for a nice pleasant experience from their cars. Not every car needs to have "driving excitement", or canyon carving. If that's what you need buy a performance car that is aimed at that. These magazines that insist on everything being tested on the nurburgring is part of why very few cars ride nice or have cushy interiors anymore. Instead we get hard ride, hard seats, high effort steering, etc which imo make a vehicle not very luxurious. I think the Accord strikes a nice balance, even though it leans more to the sporting side and less on luxury.

Thanks, Accord is one of a few mid-sized sedans left. I remember just about 10-12 years ago C&D was still doing comparison tests of mid-sized sedans because they still sold the most and had a big share of the market. However, SUV's now dominate, primarily IMO due to their higher seating position, easier to get in and out of, AWD, better on rough, poorly maintained US roads and cargo capacity. One thing I'd like to see is with all these fastback styled sedans, with tiny trunk openings, is the option or adoption of a 5-door hatchback design, like my old 2007 Mazda 6i 5-door. It would help sales IMO, and also the availability of AWD in all sedans. Thanks, and I miss the monthly printed version of the magazine. I was a long time subscriber.

There are better quality vehicles out there at a much more reasonable price. Goodbye Honda.

[@EtMeBuddy]

honda hybrids always get WORSE mpg than they advertise. and Toyotas always get better. 2023 camry hybrid LE i'm in is getting 48+ mpg, usually 50. meanwhile this is below 40

[@djplonghead5403]

It depends on city/highway driving and driving style. If you drive it like a hybrid you will get better mpg. The accord doesn’t feel like a hybrid so they don’t drive it like one- therefore worse mpg.

[@matteugenio]

Honda is a generation behind Toyota. Hopefully they can catch up soon!

[@chrisemerson9748]

@ EtMeBuddy I am using Michelin cross climate 2 tires, in Canadian winter. Averaging 42 MPG… How so you ask? Adaptive cruise control + 17 inch tires. I drive fast too and my tires suck for gas savings….

[@BryceNewall]

I get a consistent 45-50 mpg on my 2022 EX-L hybrid. It's rated at 47 overall.

Thanks so much for saying it!! The safety risk is amplified at those speeds and the fuel efficiency goes down the drain.

I don’t like the idea of driving an open-differential FWD car without a manual parking brake in winter when, should terminal understeer ever strike, praying is your only option

[@aspecreviews]

VSA exists. The computer will lock both inside brakes if it sees terminal understeer, pretty much duplicating the functionality of a handbrake.

Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@HarfelJ]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="223">3:43</a> am I the only one who thinks that the 'maze' style shifters are a better design? Sure, you have to memorize which way to move the stick for drive and reverse, but it doesn't take long and once you've memorized it you never have to look down to shift. My car has the kind that only moves in a straight line and so often when I'm shifting to reverse I have to look down to make sure I'm not in neutral.

enjoying my accord touring. wish i had a heating steering wheel. and while i do not need a 360 degree camera, to stay competitive accord should offer this.

[@buzzpedrotti5401]

You should test base models without options. $39k is way too high. A good basic mid-sized sedan, priced like a premium sedan is not a good value. It's $10k overpriced.

[@TJBellamy99]

It is not overpriced😂. It’s well equipped and a hybrid. The cheapest premium midsized sedan you are getting these days is a 45k base model Lexus or Genesis. lol

[@Offshore1977]

I’ll take this Accord over the Camry. Any day.

[@BigredGT-pm5lm]

The new accord looks horrible. Had a 2020 2.0T had plenty of power with great mileage. Honda made a huge mistake with the current styling and hybrid drivetrain. Honda lost its way. Maybe that’s why sales are declining?

[@jacquesc3166]

That was a great car, and the next gen should have built up on that. It's not just Honda, they've ALL lost their old good ways. All of them following 'the plan', where masses are being deceived in the name of 'emissions'... while nothing is being done to transition out of truck transport & out of jet airliners.

[@zabryant01]

4 oil changes in 40k miles????? Absolutely not and horrible. Should be more like 8-10 oil changes in 40k miles. WITH synthetic.

[@aspecreviews]

The engine does not run all the time, and it's subjected to far lighter loads (and more consistent loads) than a traditional vehicle. My 2001 Prius has a 7500-mi oil change interval with conventional oil.

[@renatoigmed]

the 2017 one was MUCH PRETTIER than this generic one with a Chinese look

Yes styling way to bland. Hondas hybrid system is worse mpg than Toyota.

[@faeinthebay]

How do you mean, "work on the interior"? It's easy to use and is functional and comfortable. Their only complaint about the interior design is the gloss black plastic.

It's due for a refresh.

The same money I would rather get a fwd Acura TLX. If you can truly afford $40k, the difference in gas$ is something you can afford.

[@aspecreviews]

I care about emissions, smoothness, and responsiveness. A TLX can't cruise in dead silence with zero vibration, or respond instantaneously to the accelerator.

You learned that yes, it actually is as ugly as you initially thought.

I bought 4 Honda Accord in my life, 2 used; 1990, 1998, 2 new; 2006 and the last one was in 2012. Honda lost me with the with the lowering quality, not sure if I'll ever be a Honda customer again.

[@EmmyJune212008]

The back seat materials are a huge letdown. The door panels are almost completely hard plastic and don’t match the fronts, which aren’t even that much nicer. If you’re going to build a 4-door vehicle, the doors ought to match. I don’t care that some other crappy brand does this kind of thing. Honda had developed a reputation for being better. Now, Honda does this stuff across the entire lineup. Even in the nicest trims and models, you get the mismatched doors. Honda isn’t what it used to be.

[@KeliK1]

Well done Honda!

[@Kevin-d3z]

Seats are uncomfortable, typical Honda.

[@oligarchy-usa]

Honda has been failing at their styling for the most part over the last 15+ years. Uninspired or just odd, to put it nicely.

[@WeeFreeMan78]

Compared to what? I know it's a matter of taste but the only current cars in this segment that look decent is this one and the A4. Oh, the Alfa is gorgeous . BMWs are atrocious, VWs the same, Elantra looks like a hot wheels flop, small Mercedes models look like old Huyndais. At least this one looks clean and in real life even more so

Interesting how the Last Gen Accord looked better than the Civic, and now this new Gen its the opposite. The Civic looks better than the Accord. Its just Blah to look at.

[@Offensively-normal]

Honda of Ann arbor discharged a dangerous chemical in you car without permission.

[@Hazdazos]

Such a horribly bland exterior design and cheap looking interior. The last gen Accord was infinitely better looking vehicle. Stop trying to explain-away how dull this redesign is by claiming sedan buyers want that. When a new vehicle comes out with some great new styling you praise it for breaking the mold, but now you are trying to save face by claiming boring is somehow good. That's a 2-faced way of trying to keep your advertisers happy but skirting around the truth that she ain't a looker and barely has a good personality.

90mph on the highway? CHP would never allow that out west.

[@chadpurser]

I'm sure it's a great car, but Honda really missed on the design. It looks cheap, like an old Ford Taurus. The all black interior needs some other colors to break it up. The Camry really excels in that area.
