For those who dont know. I know a guy who is 6 feet and 5 inches tall and he was real comfortable on the rear seat of this accord. 😉

[@jak30341]

yes the back seat and leg room is very roomy that's a fact by measurements

[@bcdeaton777]

I really enjoy your reviews especially when it comes to the Honda Accord. I am a huge Honda fan and I own a new Honda Accord Touring 2.0 t Black exactly like the one in this review. I absolutely love this car However I do have one complaint and you really can only realize this after you live with the car for awhile. Over long periods behind the wheel the seat bottoms are way too hard.. I had to eventually purchase a great seat cushion King Phenix brand which has totally fixed the problem. I owned a 2002 Honda Accord EXL V6 which I purchased new and I could have set in those seats for hours with no issues. Actually this car was so good that it is the reason I purchased this new Accord. It had 302,000 miles on it and it never had any major issues. Also in the new Accord when you are setting in the drivers seat sometimes I feel like my right leg is too close to the center console. These couple of issues are minor though and you are spot on with your review and the New Honda Accord Touring is the best sedan on the road today.

[@smokesgtp]

I haven't noticed this myself, and I'm a big guy who puts on a lot of miles. I think the seats are noticeably more comfortable than the 8th and 9th gen Accords.

[@bcdeaton777]

@@smokesgtp I have seen a lot of comments agreeing with me on this. My old sixth generation 2002 Accord had visibly thicker seats and way more cushion. I am also a big guy and I have been driving 120 miles a day for over twenty one years. I also have a 2012 Honda Ridgeline and my wife has a 2012 Honda Pilot and I can ride in these two vehicles for hours and hours and never be in pain. Also I know that the Honda has cut down on a lot of materials to squeeze more mileage out. Thankfully I found an awesome seat cushion. If you ever need one check out king phenix brand. Perfect cushion.

[@ham3749]

I have a 2013 Honda CRV and I love it so much! But I'm very much in love with these new Accords! I've went and looked at the Kia K5, and the Subaru's but I'm drawn back to Honda every time! The only thing I worry about is winter time. I live out in the country and they don't plow our road until the main roads are clear. We get a lot of snow up here too. That's where I lean towards another CRV, but the Accord though Gahhhhh!!! Lol

[@TM-uy4jg]

I had a 2014 that I sold because the seats were bad in that also.

[@AbronHawkins]

My family recently got a 2020 Accord Sport 1.5 and we enjoyed it. It's the best midsize car in the world

[@ericpowells3425]

I own a 2005 Honda Accord and definitely considering a Accord Touring. I went to look and test drove one and I was sold. Accords are great mid size cars. I’m 6’2 and I was very comfortable in it. The back seat is very comfortable and spacious.

[@Patryn71]

Bought one of these a couple of weeks back and am very happy with it overall. I compared it against the Camry and the Accord won pretty easily for me. I do like a few features on the Camry better, but the handling while driving, the super super smooth 10 speed transmission, and the better performance overall made the Accord an easy choice. Little things like rear USB ports for me don't matter. I generally drive by myself so no one is ever in the back. Pano sunroof looks nice, but I hardly use the sunroof as it is anyway. The 2.0T has had very few issues with it. People keep spouting about 'oil dilution' but that was much more of an issue with the 1.5T, not the 2.0T But haters are going to hate no matter what. I'll be happy with this car for years to come.

[@chrissimmons9969]

I have the 2019 EXL and I verify that the Accord is a solid choice for those of us that much prefer to drive a sedan over the over saturated SUV / crossover market.

[@jmnpc]

I really love this car. Just newly leased it. Thoroughly happy. It’s a very luxurious feeling car because if it’s spaciousness, and power, not to mention just being attractive. Still has a slight sporty feel unlike others in it’s class too. The integrated phone charging pad is awesome. My only complaint would be it lacks a bit of storage space, but I can live with that.

[@altusheyns9620]

Why would you need so many features if you have such a good, reliable car like this.. It's all about the drive. And this car is just brilliant!

[@DriversOnly]

I agree 100%

[@pmiahky]

Agreed as well! I just bought the 2020 2.0T Sport and love it. I think it blows the competition away in truly the important stuff. Can’t beat the looks as well. I think my seat is a little hard but didn’t notice it really until 500 miles in recently. I don’t have kids so don’t care about the lack of USBs in the back. Was able to get my Sport for just over 27K too before taxes! A steal! Cheers to your review and to Honda.

[@JuniorShepherd]

@@pmiahky Nice! I myself am checking out a 2020 touring 2.0 T. I have about $18,000 in trade in value so I will be picking up that beauty in less than a week. Super excited!

[@Caldwell1234]

If you want the tires to chip after putting it into sports mode which turns this car into a beast just hit the accelerator hard and those tires chip like crazy.

[@AbuDhabilover]

Nice review , hope you do the 21 very soon and lets know how is the LKAS improved along with Honda sensing. By the way what cam's do you use and wireless mic ? Thanks

[@noladronelife_6574]

I agree with you on everything except the rear head room .I'm 6'ft 1" and when sitting in the back with the car parked and my head scrapes the roof.I have to slouch downward to have a safe amount of head space to compensate for body movement when the car is in motion.Theres no way someone 6"ft 3-8" would be comfortable while retaining their natural body posture.

[@paintedbird6791]

Back In 2018, when my son started 3rd year of college. His GPA wasn't very good. So, instead of buying him a nice SUV, bought him a new Accord EXL 2,0T. I thought boy would cry everyday. Actually, he told his mother that he really like this car. he said 2.0T engine was incredible, so fast and big in interior. push that sport button it becomes civic N like. better than most 6 cylinders. Now, I drive his Accord and he is driving my GLE. something went wrong here.

[@MyAlexWest]

did his gpa go up? tell us more

[@kevinnorris6558]

Why buy him a SUV? Younger people prefer cars anyway, and the Accord 2.0 is a beast. Glad he enjoys his car

[@Ronny39406]

The Accord is a phenomenal vehicle. The sport 2.0 is an overall better value if you don't need some of the bells and whistles like the HUD or wireless charging etc.

[@naveenkrishnamurthy7576]

I’d still take a Camry XSE v6. I feel it’s nicer, smoother, and quieter. Plus that red interior and pano roof and a 360 camera. And of course, that really smooth v6.

[@SG-sz5vh]

I went shopping for one but i sat WAY too low in it. Moving on to a civic it was the same. I do not want a cuv or suv..i want a car, but one that i am not sitting on the pavement. I am not short, and at 6’ i still felt as i was a five year old looking over the dash

[@winchestermodel7044]

I don’t know, maybe adjust the seat. I have the Accord EXL and I’m 6’1 and I don’t have that issue.

[@smokesgtp]

The interior styling is much better than the Sonata. The steering wheel design alone in the Sonata is very homely. I couldn't even stand to look at it.

[@gregwalker4236]

thanks! the only bad thing about the accord (and it is certainly not bad) you really can't wear one out to justify buying a new one. i'm still driving my 2008 exl 2.4. now about those turbos and cvts--not a fan...

[@JadaEbong]

[@kevinnorris6558]

One of my biggest gripes is the look. I feel like the new Accords don’t look very good, especially when compared to the previous gen Accords. If I were shopping for a midsize, I’d probably get the Camry/Sonata, or maybe even an Acura TLX.

[@amirfirdaus9419]

[@braetonwilson4296]

Awesome review, George! I liked how you remained objective and pointed out the flaws of this vehicle as well! 2020 Honda Accord Touring is the best midsize sedan, I agree and if I was a rich man, it would be my pick. However it has 3 flaws which may prevent the average Joe from buying a new Accord: 1. Pricing. This you mentioned already, the MSRP for top trim is higher than all it's competitors. Not just that, Honda dealers are notorious for giving no discounts or poor discounts. That makes this new Honda Accord even more expensive after real world discounts compared to a new Camry, Sonata, Optima, or Altima. I know I can get a 5000 to 7000 dollar discount or more on a new Camry. On a new Accord? Fuggedaboutit. 2. Long-term reliability. Honda Accord used to only have naturally aspirated engines and they were amazing, now that's not the case. All the Accord trims have turbocharged engines and that may not be good if you want to own it for 10 plus years. 3. Size. It's become too big. Way bigger than the Accords of 20 years ago. Makes it more difficult to park, more difficult to stay in your lane, and makes it feel a lil less nimble.

[@shaunjones3036]

Pranavan Sada heated rear seats are available, heated steering wheel & rear USB ports are dealer options. Heated windshield would be nice on top trim.

[@noahboock]

It doesn’t have a digital speedometer, which is a major disadvantage to some. Unless you go for the touring 2L, you gotta read analog

[@Free2refined]

It does have a digital speedo I believe there’s a setting that turns it on

[@noahboock]

Terrence it’s only in km/h

[@TheMichaelmarin84]

I test drove this 2.0 t. It’s fun to drive. But if your coming from a v6 accord , your not going to like it. I own a 2017 accord touring v6, and I love the power.

[@a32tl]

Yet, the 2.0T is quicker than the V6.
