Exploring the 2024 Honda Accord EX 1.5 Turbo: Test Drive and Expert Review!

[@JohnDeLorme-g7d]

I wanted a 23 Accord EX last year as I was trading my 20 Fit EX with 8200 equity. In Texas, my insurance was going up 445.00 in my 6 months. A Civic was 440.00 more on insurance. The lowest increase was 235.00 on the 24 HRV EXL. I refused to pay almost 300 a month for insurance on the Accord. I got the 24 HRV EXL. My insurance is 229 a month. My payment is 342. I paid 29,000 MSRP and financed 20,500 for the HRV. I’m paying extra principal so in 10 months I’m down to 11,800. I’m glad I didn’t get the 1.5 turbo Accord as they have the oil dilution and blown head gasket issues. I’m glad I have the plain 4 cylinder engine. Accords and Civics are stolen a lot and expensive to repair.check the insurance before you buy a car. Some are less than others.

How can I increase the volume of the blind spot detection? With the AC and radio on, I can barely hear it. I adjusted something in the settings but it still seems low.

I wish there were ac vents at the rear at least for the passengers but it’s to keep the cost down and also why in the EX model there’s only a 7 inch infotainment screen.

Just bought this very same car, EX trim, interior and exterior color. I'm 73, and have tried many cars; I will not own anything but a Honda Accord. My only knock is Honda's decision not to offer the EX-L trim in there gas models. They're pushing their Hybrid's. Not good; It just about made me jump to their competitor, the Toyota Camry, but I just couldn't do it

Hey, I bought a Honda accord ex 2024. The manual shows I can fuel it up by 87 octane or higher but in the Honda website it says 91 or higher after September 2023. I am not confused on what gas to use! People on Reddit and other platforms are discussing that turbo engine with increase in compression ratio from 10:3 to 10:6 makes it demanding for premium fuel and is also a reason why people are facing head gasket issue with low grade fuel. I think most of the accord 2024 owners like me are confused on what to do. Well I don’t want to be the one paying 2800$ for head gasket fix and fuel up with premium gas now if it saves the gasket. Can you suggest something in this topic ?

Yes you have to use 91 minumum, and do oil changes every 3.5k miles. I saw couple of mechanics saying this because head gasket and oil dilution issue will break engine before reaching 100k miles

[@nealkaye9056]

In my case, using only 91 octane for my 2024 EX has prevented fuel dilution in the oil which was a problem with previous similar Honda engines. I have had zero fuel dilution in the oil using 91 octane.

Those are NOT “19” inch alloy wheels 🤦🏻‍♀️ They are 17 inch.

I'm really let down by the appearance of the new Accord 2024. It appears bulky, less attractive, and lacks the sleek style of the 2021 model. I was anticipating something even more impressive this year, but instead, it seems like they've opted for a bulky, unappealing design reminiscent of a cheap plastic soap holder with a heavy price tag. I am extremely disappointed...!
