Honda Accord Sport 6SPD | Right Car, Wrong Time

[@YasssStitch]

Hello everyone - I'm Misha, the owner of this Accord. There are many questions in the comments why I went with another Honda product. I have owned Honda and Acura products for a very long time. I've also introduced many friends and members of my family to Honda/Acura family of cars and SUVs. I've owned everything from 1994 Accord to 2003 CL Type S 6MT to the latest from Acura and Honda. I did look outside of Honda line of cars when I started shopping and everything in this price range was a massive let down. My car before the lemon TLX was a 2016 Accord Sport 2.4L 6MT. Best car I ever owned, hands down. I made a huge mistake and traded it for the TLX because I wanted a V6 and SH-AWD. Car turned out to be garbage. I lost a lot of time, money and nerves with that car. I will always miss that 2016 Accord. I wasn't going to leave Honda family because of one bad apple. I wanted to give Honda another chance and bought another Accord. So far this car has been great and I love driving it every day. PS. Thanks Mark and Jack for letting me hang out with you guys during filming!

I’ve watched a million car reviews and as a 10th generation Accord owner I can say without equivocation that this is far and away the most in-depth & honest review of this car. 2019 EX-L 1.5 is an amazing every day cruiser.

[@jasonyu6885]

I am current owner of 2019 Accord Sport 2.0t 6mt. From my experience, this review is the most accurate and honest. I can easily find out what he is trying to tell us in this review. Even with somewhat negative review of this vehicle, this review made me become huge fan of this guy. Here is what I think about 10th gen accord 2.0t 6mt. He nailed down all essential pros and cons about this car. Engine has great torque in low end, but power dies way too soon before 5k rpm. For having sudden surge of torque at low end, traction is slaughtered got the point why electronic stability control holds down on unicorns wings. Clutch engagement point is at top 5% of clutch travel. Shifter is my favorite. Honda's worst work ever. I had to mod my car, I had to... make myself to like this car and keep for at least couple years. Just 4 mods made me like this car again. Ktuner, Acuity Stage 2 shifter mod (best mod that all accord 10th gen 6mt owner do!!!), Borla Exhaust, and H & R lowering springs. All above mods cost me $2,600 + Labor ($0 for me cus I did all mod at my condo). 10AT is the way go to for this car.

[@themodguys9761]

I think it’s worth noting the aftermarket support is decent. Most of the cons are easily fixed. For less than $1000 you can add all of the acuity shifter mods (short shift adapter, aluminum bushings, rocker) eibach springs and swaybar. Then you have your tight handling car with very nice shifter feel.

You can do amazing things if you go aftermarket (specially on the 6MT) but that can be said for any other car. I bought mine exactly one year ago today. I'll keep it for years and years.

Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the Accord at $23,815 based on a private-party sale. That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average. The depreciation level is even worse when you consider that the majority of our cars pass the 20,000-mile mark. Edmund's longterm Accord

21:05 Just to be clear, the resell of the 6MT Accord on the private market isn't great.

[@apollosbrownies]

Honestly, I’m not too sure, Ryan. I’ve heard that sentiment circled around online, but I haven’t personally had issues with them, and of the people I know that do own 3.6L-based GM vehicles, most haven’t had any engine related issues either! What seems to be the case is that with continued, regular maintenance, and consistent, civilized driving, they’re quite decent. Let them sit around or lapse on the maintenance a bit, and then I start hearing of the odd issue or two. On the flip side, the numbers are very similar between the 3600 and the J35, but GM’s engine really digs into its torque sooner than the Honda, and really gets up and going sooner too! In their stock form, the updated 3.6 engines in newer GM vehicles have a higher base output, though I imagine both have roughly the same overall potential. In comparable cars, like the Malibu and Accord, I did notice that the Honda engine was smoother overall, but the small gains on performance with the GM engine, and the slightly nicer off-beat sound really sold me on it. Fuel economy in real-world driving is about the same too, so it really is a tossup imho

Long time Honda guy here. In 2015 I bought my first German car a 2016 GTI DSG. LOVED that car! Only problem with it? FWD. FWD sucks. Period. Whilst looking at Civic Hatchback for my wife, salesman offered a test drive in a 6MT 2.0T Accord, hell why not?!? Amazing car, gears started turning in my head "hey my GTI lease is almost up....hmmm, maybe this would be a good replacement???" During the test drive, it started to rain a little bit. And the 6MT 2.0T FWD Accord did exactly what my GTI did, embarrassed itself in the wet. Too much power to the front wheels. A few months later I bought my Q60 AWD and I FREAKING LOVE IT. 332HP and AWD. I'll never own a FWD car with over 200hp again. Honda overpowered the Accord and should have offered AWD with the 2.0T. I would have bought the Accord right then during that test drive if it was 2.0T and AWD (trans doesn't matter to me as long as no CVT)

I have a 2019 Accord Sport 2.0T with the 10 Speed. Its an awesome car. I believe Honda tried to compete with the Audi A4 with this, that's what the rumor was at least. Tire noise on MXM4's isn't the best, but thats my only complaint.

[@normt5463]

"That’s(Accord) slower than the all-wheel-drive Audi A4 we last tested but ahead of the all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz C300" "Four stops, and typical Honda/Acura, each one grew longer,” Walton wrote. “Brake pedal is medium-firm, and the body is well controlled and straight with no ABS pulses. However, after four quarter-mile passes, the brakes faded very much and the pedal went nearly to the floor. It needs more brakes.” Even the TLX’s first 60-0 stopping distance of 118 feet was well behind the 108 feet we got from theMercedes C-Class and the 105 feet we got from theAudi A4." ".. the brake fade that Walton experienced in testing was also an issue in the canyons" "Accord can’t quite hang with the TLX in the corners, but the 2.0T proved quicker to 60 mph and through the quarter mile. Plus, even without the premium nameplate, the redesigned Accord Touring actually felt more luxurious inside than the TLX." Motor Trend

[@normt5463]

"...but this latest generation Accord does not seem to have turned down the volume on road and tire noise." Car & Driver "but the new car is nicely muted, other than some road noise when traveling ..." Consumer Reports "This car would be 5 stars if not for the insane road and tire noise at highway speeds. ..." Edmund's "And lots of logbook entries carped about the road noise and tire slap penetrating the Accord's many new noise-abatement defenses such as acoustic spray foam in the pillars, unwoven fender inner liners, noise-absorbing carpet, and even the new three-microphone active noise canceling system."

[@jfazzuoli3813]

I respect your analysis but I was surprised on your opinion of the manual transmission. It was the complete opposite of what I have experienced in regards to the shifting. I traded my 17 Civic Si for this Accord 2.0T. The shifter in the Civic Si was the most un-Honda-like manual I have ever owned. My Honda history goes back to 1986 when I got my license and purchased an 85 CRX. Since then, its been mostly Hondas including a brand new S2000. The 17 Si shifter was notchy, imprecise and not smooth at all. When I drove the Accord, the shifter immediately stood out to me as if I were back in the glory days of 80;s, 90's and early 2000's Honda. Meaning, the shifter was perfect. The rest of the car is brilliant and I don't miss the Si at all. All the Accord needs is a thicker rear sway bar to make it just right for spirited street driving. I like the way the engine makes power compared to the Si's 1.5T. Maybe I am getting old and more mellow but this Accord is a fun, capable machine that can haul ass and the family. For all those thinking buying this Accord, please get the manual and raise the take rate statistics. Honda needs to continue with their manuals. This manual is very very good. Sorry Mark but I respectfully disagree. BTW, my shifter was loose as well when I took delivery.

[@taiwilson8966]

you couldn't just swap the shifter components? had to get whole another car?

[@jaanfo3874]

I have a 2018 1.5t Sport with the 6MT for a daily driver. Had to drive to a dealership about two hours away to get it, but so far it was worth the effort. My first new car, and first Honda, had been a 2006 Civic EX 5MT. I loved driving that car, but it had frequent problems with electronic components. I had to have the driver's window motor replaced twice, the passenger's once, the rear right side door lock motor replaced once, the trunk would open on its own (that was never figured out, and did result in stuff being stolen from the trunk), the Air Conditioning went out one summer (and took about six weeks and 7 or 8 dealership visits to resolve). I had trim fall off inside, and the key's battery only lasted a few months at a time. I had the brakes done at 60,000 miles and the guy at Midas was amazed it had lasted that long, he said most Hondas he saw went about half that far on factory brakes. It drove wonderfully, but those secondary components were crap. Four years to the day and 72,000 miles after buying it, I totalled it. I wound up buying a 2011 Sonata to replace it and that car was absolutely perfect for 3 years and 52,000 miles before I traded it on a 2013 Santa Fe. 7 years and 98,000 miles later the Santa Fe is still in my driveway as a work car and a backup for mine and my wife's cars. I just got the brakes done for the first time a month ago, the factory battery was finally replaced in February this year. It's had a couple hiccups (a fuel pump at 36,000 miles and a transmission fluid temp sensor at 96,000), but it's been an amazing car. All the window and power door lock motors are original and still work, no interior trim falling off, all the light bulbs are original. I just change the oil and she keeps rolling. Like Misha and Mark, I wasn't really ready to jump back into the Honda fold with the benefit of hindsight looking back at my experience with the Civic. However as much as Hyundai's product has been bulletproof for me, the cars just aren't engaging to drive, and a manual transmission is just not available on the Sonata (and compact cars are just too small for me to seriously consider for regular driving). The desire for an affordable midsize car with a manual transmission limited me to the Mazda 6 and the Accord (and now, it's just the Accord). The 6 lacked the infotainment options and adaptive cruise control (at least in trims offering the manual), and I could get the Accord cheaper. So I'm giving Honda another chance. So far 10 months and 9,000 miles in I have no complaints. We'll see what happens by the time the factory warrantee expires (my cutoff for deciding whether to keep it until the wheels fall off or trade it in).

The build quality is incredible, driving dynamics are fantastic and with the dark blue color I constantly get complements at the gas station. I love my new accord and have never been this thrilled to own or drive a car in my life. Thanks Honda for caring for the quality of the product you sell rather than just throwing something together like toyota did with the new Camry.

Pete Quinones I feel you. Honda is relying on low profile tires, spring tuning, 6MT and sport trim. It is a passenger car and not a sports car of course. Its not a M5. But I think Honda wants people to throw money at the Acura line for sports-luxury. To a degree I understand it. They are not a low volume niche car-maker. Honda likes big volume sales.

Our 2017 Civic EX has major infotainment problems that seem to be endemic to the model. I don’t think Honda put enough memory into the system that runs their home brew OS, and it locks up all the time. Their system glitches out, and it’s really bad because they tied every control into the infotainment system. Honda refuses to fix it, has no apparent interest in fixing it. The car also rattles something fierce. Never again, no more Honda products for us. Honda has destroyed their reputation in this last generation of cars.

Our(Edmund's)2018 Honda Accord EX-L stickered for $30,865, including destination. Over the course of a year, we added 13,302 miles to our odometer.

That works out to 22.8% depreciation, which is slightly worse than the fleet average of 22% average.
