I don’t care what anyone else on the planet says, the new generation Accord is aesthetically pleasing inside and out. I abhorred the looks of the prior gen except for the Sport trim - and even then, it pales in comparison now. I literally said to myself days ago that a vehicle looks good when all its trims look great, and every trim I’ve seen from base on up looks good on this current model; it’s “mature” and the “fastback” design has now been executed perfectly. I actually, for the first time, like the looks of every Honda model, except the Ridgeline. 🥴 The only thing lacking I believe is the output, but otherwise, it’s a homerun.

I had a new Accord hybrid as a rental for my week out at Monterey car week in August. I was shocked to find it in the rental fleet with only 150 miles on it, but one rarely gets good surprises from rental companies anymore. Mine was a Sport hybrid, so basically had everything your test car has except for leather and the Google system. It was so good that I went onto the web the first night to price one out. I think it came to about $32k. The cloth seats were quite nice, actually. Anyway, Tommy experience mirrored your review. The car far exceeded my expectations. I wasn’t driving slowly and encountered a ton of traffic but averaged 46 mpg for the week and one day saw over 50 mpg during my freeway slog. Impressive. If they made a wagon version or 5-door hatch, I would have bought one immediately. Alas, I can dream.

Just found you guys. Very well done. You are definitely on top of your game when it comes to researching this vehicle. Better than most reviewers. Just one possible correction regarding the regenerative braking paddles. If you pull the left one until you reach your desired level of regen and hold it, it will default back to that every time you take your foot off the accelerator. I think you suggested that you pull it twice to set it to do this. I own the '23 Touring and can confirm that the mpg numbers are legit. After nearly 4000 miles in mixed driving, we are averaging 46.4 mpg in Eco driving mode and a lot of regen braking! Wisconsin winters and driving above 75 mph will cut that number closer to 40.

Every time I see piano black trim in a car, I want to take a fine sandpaper and sand it down to a matte finish. As for the exterior styling, the front end looks slightly unfinished to my eye. The relationship between the headlights, grille, and leading edge of the hood looks a bit slapdash. Maybe they can fix it with the mid-cycle refresh. But overall, I think this is my favorite midsize sedan on the market right now.

The main reason why you can hear the engine sound more when the guys are accelerating is because they were on sport mode. In this mode there is “pumped in” or “fake” engine audio when you accelerate just to make the car seem more sporty. In the other modes the engine is very quiet and unnoticeable. Mind you, in sport mode the acceleration does feel slightly more peppy and the steering wheel does get stiffer. So driving in sport mode is the most fun or as fun as you can get with a hybrid family sedan lol. No knock to the csr though, because this is an excellent vehicle.

Been a fan/subscriber for years, and now, seeking a favor from the fanbase (or if Paul/Todd happen to weigh in. )Looking for some judgement free ideas here. Presently own a '17 BRZ Limited with Performance pack and MT. I'm "retirement age", and with all the massive trucks and cars on the road, we have some reservations about being out and about in something this small. (We also have a SUV, so this isn't the only car) That said, I love the way it drives, and the high level of driver engagement. I"m even working on rev matched downshifts. So, IF you were looking for something a little bigger, yet maintaining some level of driving engagement, what are suggestions? Need it to be reliable, perhaps under 50k new, it doesn't have to be any faster than my gen BRZ, but still want some engagement. MAYBE a good AT (so wife can drive) would be considered. I'm kind of stuck at BMW 2-series as a possibility. Not ready to crawl in bed with Korea for a long--term relationship yet, otherwise I'd be looking towards the Elantra N. (Consumer Reports shows frowny faces for the Elantra line, and maybe a bit too "boy racer"). If I could actually FIND a Civic Type R not marked up to the sky, that might be okay, but I'm not paying 10K over MSRP. Thanks in advance for any brainstorming type input. Fortunately, not pressed for time on this.

I have put a lot of miles on the previous generation Sport models with the 19" wheels and tires. I own the '23 Touring (19"). Honda has definitely done some things to quiet tire and road noise on this trim level. I believe the windshield and front door glass is insulated unlike the lower trims. It is not whisper Lexus-like quiet, but pretty good for what has been a Honda issue historically. I mention the 19" wheels and tires because they typically transmit more noise due to the wider width and lower sidewall.

We’ve never been paid by any car maker to say anything. We state pros and cons of every car, and when it’s mostly good it’s because the car is mostly good. There are models we dislike from every brand. Thanks for watching!

What I hate about this generation honda accord is the base hybrid sport trim...has removed SO MUCH OPTIONS. 4 speakers! No options! Manual seats??? Its insane. They want 33 thousand and it has nearly NOTHING compared to even a 28k civic.

I really dislike the front end. It's too high up. That "upper bumper" ruins it. Other manufacturers don't seem to be doing thus but they must still be meeting pedestrian requirements. There's something that reminds me of the Lincoln MkZ in the profile of the car. I just don't like the styling.

RAV4 xse hybrid has better gas mileage, better in inclement weather, better looking, more space.

Drives better? Forget about Crv comparison…Can a RAV4 ever best Camry in corners?

for 40k it should have a spare tire in the truck in case of a flat

Why is the engine so noisy/buzzy on acceleration?

But the Camry all wheel drive is not a hybrid so you should be ruining that out versus this Honda Accord

The exterior looks extremely unoriginal. Like a mix of old fords. Most boring new car on the road

I definitely have doubts a WRX had difficulty keeping up with this.

I'm sorry, I feel like the exterior styling is uninspiring and bland.
