I bought a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T about two months ago. I love this car! It is very fun to drive, comfortable, economical, roomy, nice looking and quick! All I've driven since '02 are Hondas and Acuras with the V6 engines. I swore I would never go back to a 4 cylinder. I had to eat those words. I have no regrets in buying the 2.0T. The engine is a gem and it is torquey. My next car will likely be a TLX Type S though but that's at least a year away. Going to enjoy the Accord for now.

New 0-60 numbers are around 4.8secs stock. Put premium 93oct fuel and you're already around 320+hp and 330+lb-ft of torque with no tune or bolt ons.

After I punched it, he must have thought I was trying to race him, so all of a sudden I hear the car next to me punching it, and it was then that I noticed it was a Civic Type R!! I quickly backed down once I hit 60-70 due to the road geography, but until that time we were pretty much even. ;);) I was truly only looking to have fun with my new 2.0T and had no idea that guy was even there.

Other than the speculation that Honda understated the Accords horsepower it would have won based on the numbers anyway, the Accord is 500lbs lighter than the other 2 and is FWD (less drive-train loss, more power to the wheels, even though it had a few bad launches it was able to catch the Arteon with ease.

That's what happens when the competition innovates and Dodge thinks that Americans will fawn over a V6 even when it gets walked by a FWD Accord. Also doesn't help that the thing weighs half a ton more than the Accord.

Considering the Arteon is designed to be a luxury cruiser and not a drag racer, AND it's the heaviest here, AND it doesn't have VWs legendary DSG gearbox, it put up a very good fight against the lighter accord with the same power figures. If this was the Arteon R, with extra power and a dual clutch gearbox, it would've slaughtered both the other contenders. Shame VW won't bring it stateside.

[@kevinyu5802]

Since the Arteon has an "R-line" in Canada, what would be the difference between this and an Arteon R? Interested in this car so would love to know 🙂

[@SimonStrother]

@@kevinyu5802 The Arteon R is only sold in Europe. It has a 2.0T pushing over 310 HP and awd with torque vectoring on the rear axle and a seven speed dual clutch from the GTi. It also does 0-60 in less than 5 seconds. So yes, it would destroy all these cars.

[@mattautomotive5738]

The Accord can be tuned just the same. Have owned both VW and now a 2.0 Accord. Nothing but good things to say about both brands. We are on a stage 3 tune on our Accord and the gain is amazing. Biggest advantage of the Honda is the price and ease of tuning. Both also have turbo upgrades, intercooler upgrades, etc available. Biggest advantage of VW is that awd is available to take better advantage of big turbo builds at high power levels. Still, stock turbo Accords are into the low 12's so they aren't bad considering.
