Honda Accord 2.0 Sport: life with her after 44,000 miles

Update video after owning for 2 years and 44,000 miles

[@a32tl]

I have a ‘20 Accord Touring 2.0T that I absolutely love. I look forward to driving it every single day.

[@andraeneal9134]

I had a 2018 accord sport 2.0t 6speed. Never had any problems out of it! I use to drive it in sport mode all the time! And can honestly say it was one of the most reliable and dependable cars I ever own! Now I currently have a 21 accord sport 2.0turbo with alittle over 300 miles on it

[@Rc-ho4sv]

We love our 21 2.0t 10speed . it has just under 2800 miles

[@roger3958]

Could u fit a type r shifter assembly in the accord like I did in my civic hatch sport? What a difference that made!

[@kenbassett5942]

Those radio and transmission issues do not exist in the 2021 models. I have a 21 Sport 2.0 and the transmission does not hunt at all. You are correct about the little bit of turbo lag when stepping on it when passing but its only a second or two. But once that boost kicks in the car really gets up and goes, no doubt about that. Its a really great car.

[@desioasis2378]

True asf! As a fellow 2021 2.0 sport owner, i can confirm that there is no issue like that atleast in my car, btw another issue that the 18 to 20 models are having are the steering rack issue and i have hit 32k miles now since I drive a lot but to this day never had a problem with any of that!

[@Rc-ho4sv]

Yup love our 21 2.0t 10spedd

[@andrastafford3320]

I have one and so far so good

[@edwardapollo]

I had this exact issue, and same result from my Honda dealer (even though I had video!) How I fixed it was by disabling the wifi radio completely

[@dcrtse]

I have a 2018 Honda Accord Sport w/the 1.5L and 6 speed manual transmission. I LOVE it! However, I do have to say that reading all these blown head gasket comments in other YT videos has me a bit nervous! I'm knocking on wood and hope mine doesn't ever experience that problem!

[@shojus]

Just follow all service intervals and you should be good.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

I wonder if they changed something in the transmission in the later years. I have a '22 2.0T Sport and it doesn't hunt at all at highway speed, or really anywhere else that I've experienced. Also think the 10 speeds are for fuel economy more than marketing. If you drive it slowly, it's in fourth gear doing like 20 mph, and it'll hit sixth at regular street speeds.

[@pauls3758]

I have the touring model I bought the car for fuel economy and cause it's quick when you want it to be gas mileage in my experience has been about 25 all around 30 on highway

[@FrankWiliams-wl5cj]

I have a 2019 with a 107000 mi no problems so far an i drive pretty hard great car

[@ozarklife9996]

I have same car 2022. Already scuffed a couple of the wheels. My hwy miles is about 35. All around about 31.

[@ganguiano6853]

My cars at 71,000 miles still running good. Make sure to do the fuel economy cleaning it’s really helps keep the car alive

I have 2018 lx btw.

[@whyg6703]

What is fuel economy cleaning? I have 2018 sport 1.5t

[@ganguiano6853]

@@whyg6703 it’s where they cleaning the fuel injectors just ask your Honda dealer about it. It’s suppose to help your Honda with mpg to make sure you avg the 28 city : 38 hwy . And usually recommend after every 40,000 miles

I have a 2020 Accord EX and so far, after 47,000 miles, the only repairs done have been the safety recall issues. The fuel tank had to be replaced due to a recall which I thought odd.The Michelin tires are somewhat noisy, typical Honda road noise. I have yet to find another brand with the same size and LRR characteristics that would be less noisy. Fuel mileage averages 36-38 MPG on Tier 1 unleaded in mixed driving. But really, it has been reliable and that counts for lot.

[@rich1958]

What is tier 1 unleaded? Premium 93?

[@rich1958]

What is tier 1 unleaded? Premium 93?

[@postalgrunt480]

Tier 1 gas is the 87 octane unleaded grade which has the highest level of additives for performance. It is approximately five times the amount of additives as required by Federal regulation. A good rule of thumb is to purchase gasoline from major corporations or brands such as Conoco, Phillips, Shell or Sunoco. Here in the KC area, the Quik Trip convenience stores regularly tout the fact that they are selling Tier 1 gas.

[@blackaccord2247]

I am considering purchasing a 2022 Honda Accord Sport 2.0, but I am concerned about the oil dilution issues. Have you noticed any gasoline smell in your oil or excess oil on the dipstick? I have heard that the oil dilution issues are mainly on the 1.5 engine but can happen on the 2.0 liter engine.

[@huykicks3213]

i just got my 22 accord

[@TheTyphoon365]

Who asked? How is that relevant to him bringing up oil dilution? @@huykicks3213

[@eeeFloww]

do you feel any jerkiness with your 2.0t? I feel a little bit of jerkiness when braking and sometimes in the beginning of accelerating and also the car shakes a bit after turning off the engine. I heard some people say this car has that bc of all the gears it goes through but others have said it’s supposed to be smooth

[@caraddict829]

It should be pretty smooth. you could have a motor mount or transmission mount problem.

[@saul45100]

My 2020 2.0 is the same way it’s jerky and constantly hunting for the right gear and also shakes when I turn it off

[@whatsontelevision3270]

I kinda like the painted mirrors, shark fin and spoiler rather than the new 2021 Accord which is just gloss black. I feel like it's missing. 😕

[@slickpanther06]

I actually prefer the black accents on the white 2021 sport only. I think it complements the white. It’s looks funny on all the other colors. Especially red and blue.

[@MrMustangrick]

Car Addict, did you sell your Lexus ES hybrid? Update please.

[@caraddict829]

No, I still have it. It's hard to get rid of a car that never gives you any trouble. Still a great driver, too. They age well.

[@MrMustangrick]

@@caraddict829 Good! Yes I will keep my Lex 2017 GS F V8 for a decade or more. My best car ever.

[@mikebingham9700]

We can't hear you!

[@living4christ]

Did you change the transmission fluid yet?

[@caraddict829]

I sure did. Thanks for bringing that up. That is something you cannot neglect on these cars. They do require trans. fluid changes every 40K miles. I could tell the transmission shifted better after I changed it. It does make a difference.

[@Loopy_McLooperson]

@@caraddict829 did you happen to do the trans fluid change yourself? I have an '18 2.0 and trying to find a video tutorial.

[@caraddict829]

@@Loopy_McLooperson No, the dealer did it. It actually was not expensive to have them do it. Did you check with your dealer to see what they would charge?

[@brandonromeo03]

@daniel stack they charge 139 to drain and fill

[@nastykixfit3337]

I got 140000 miles on my 2018 2.0 sport

[@Samelamers]

Cool i just got a 2019 honda accord 2.0t sport and love it. No issues so far?

[@singular9]

Have a 2022 and the head unit is utter garbage. Ever month it hangs, fails, crashes, resets, unpairs, all sorts of issues. It is by far the most inconsistent head unit I have ever used.
