Before You BUY a Honda Accord - LONG-TERM (4 Year) REVIEW! // 10th Gen. (2018-2022) Honda Accord

[@ozzierabbit587]

It's easy to own a Honda for a long time. I've owned one for over 17 years now.

That’s awesome, is it a daily driver?

Yep have 3 7th gen and my first 1 I got it in 05 and currently have 260k miles on it. I am the only owner 2.4 liter my other is. A 2003 v6 coupe got that used with 18k miles from an older lady in 2013/ now with 70k miles , 04 6-6 with 90k miles got from auction and now 22 2.0 8 months old with 800 miles

2018 Still Night Pearl Sport 2.0T 10sp with 90,000 miles. Just lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit, PRL intake and very soon Konig Oversteers. I can say this is the most well rounded car I have ever owned(20+ cars). It does everything well. Fast and still gets 30+MPG on Reg Unleaded.

I bought brand new Honda Accord hybrid EXL 2018 is excellent vehicle, it’s very comfortable, NO road nose, handling is very good, smooth ride, very reliable, average MPG I got 47 to 50. In my opinion about 2.0 trim a lot of power and 1.5 trim lack of power and both had road nose, uncomfortable ride . I currently owned hybrid EXL and 2.0 EXL, most of times i do service at Honda dealership they loaded me Accord 1.5 engine, so I drove all 3 trim Accord, they all reliable cars. But for me to picked one Accord hybrid EXL for life is a best vehicle, I love every time I get in the car to drive no complaints. Oh on my EXL hybrid I had 97K miles I haven’t replace new brake yet Honda dealership said brake still good , all I did was do maintenance oil change and air filter and drive.

My biggest complaint is the transmission. It's the most sluggish trans I have driven even compared to the Toyota 8speed which I owned two of. The paddles don't do anything at all and react multiple seconds after a press. The gears 1 to 2 jerk like crazy in slow speeds, and so does 2 to 3. It's not eager to downshift up hill at all and stays in 10th. Sport mode is the only fix but over all it's a very mediocre trans as far as refinement. It's calibrated well though when you floor it lol

The seats do suck, but I also have the 2.0 Sport and those seats are supposedly stiffer than non-sport models. So I’ve read at least. I use a Conformax GelPad. As for the ACC, it was improved for the 2021 model, which was also the super minor facelift, which consisted of different shape fog lights. I have 47,000 miles on my 2021 Sport 2.0 and I’m overall satisfied with it, minus the seats and sound. I did get new tires, Yokohama YK-740, and they are quieter than the OEM Michelins. Transmission drain and fill and brakes due soon. This isn’t a car that puts you back in your seat when punch it, instead, it gets to the higher speeds effortlessly.

I have and I probably will eventually. I would like to decrease my stopping distance, but BBK do little for reducing your stopping distance, and more for helping to prevent your brakes from overheating from continuous use.

[@savedby_grace6110]

I'd say that in my experience, the BBK has made a significant difference. I'd recommend it 💯.

[@TheLemonFactor]

If you want to decrease your stopping distance, get better tires, and more aggressive pads. A larger brake rotor does not decrease stopping distance. Larger, multi piston calipers may, but they’re dependent upon the clamping force available to them. Lastly, most modern day cars are specially calibrated front and rear, drastically changing say the front brakes can throw the dynamics out and actually hurt your braking.

2019 2.0 Sport 6spd here. Only things I can complain about are the Soy based harness sheathings, easy HVAC access from the engine bay making it easy for rodents to nest in your car and cause weird smells and the CRUISE CONTROL. Cannot tell you how many times I thought I was going to die when it's applied the brakes to a phantom object. After 4 years with it, I think I'd prefer the 10 Speed automatic for comfort in long drives and traffic but over all as a former Mitsubishi fanatic and owner of multiple Lancers, the 10th gen accord is a god send and quite the sleeper with fantastic looks.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Ouch... that's gotta be an expensive fix (fixing the wiring after a rodent chews it up). 😬

[@Japesthegrapes]

@@TheLemonFactor luckily the portion of the wiring that was chewed was easily replaceable and covered under warranty. But imagine my surprise when my less than 1000 mile accord won’t start one morning after getting it a week ago lol. But yeah it did suck a little. I get the materials choice. Just not perfect for New England.

[@TheLemonFactor]

What are you doing to prevent it from happening again? 😮

[@Japesthegrapes]

@@TheLemonFactor Sorry for not seeing this earlier. I'm very fortunate to have moved into a space with a garage where it is parked now but previously Irish Spring shavings and drops of Spearmint oil once a week in the engine compartment helped keep away rodents.

[@Japesthegrapes]

I'd like to add that it sat in a driveway for most of the pandemic years exposed to the elements with that routine and it never occurred again. Only recently since giving up the routine has a smell developed in my HVAC which im sure is a dead rodent that got into the garage and into the accord.

[@JayyB909]

Hey, love your channel. I have a 2022 accord sport 2.0t and my shifts feel weird and delayed like if im driving a manual and sometimes jerk as well. Does your do that by any chance?

[@TheLemonFactor]

When I lived in Massachusetts, closer to sea-level, I would notice a hesitation after early morning startups at low speeds, and when it was damp outside. Since moving to high-altitude and a much drier climate I do not notice any hesitation. With that said, have you noticed this from the start, or is this something that has recently started? If it's a recently occurring event and depending upon your mileage, you might want to consider doing an ATF flush.

[@JayyB909]

@TheLemonFactor Thanks for the reply, and it's interesting how different altitudes can affect things like that. I've actually noticed it since I got it, and I'm only at 4,000 miles. Maybe it just hasn't broken in yet.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Of course, no problem 👍. I don’t know if humidity does really play a factor, but it’s what I experienced 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully with a little more time yours will smooth itself out 🤞

Hello! Could you lend some advice on 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid EX L? Is the maintenance costly? Is a battery really thousands of dollars? Does it have to be taken to the dealership for maintenance from a hybrid specialized mechanic? Thank you in advance for any advice!

[@hwccheng]

I can change oil on it but needs a ramp, hard to get under since it sits low. PCV valve takes 5 mins or CNN less, air filter 5 to 10 mins or less depending on if you clean mass air flow sensor or not. It goes about 45ish mpg. Go to Costco for tires and do balance and rotation. Wind shield fluid is easy to add but hard to see if it is full or not. Comfortable and fast car, we love it and I borrowed it from wifey when I feel the urge of zoom zoom and we have over 130k on it already. Never have any battery issue.

What wheel and tire set was on your Accord when you took it cross country? Were they stock wheels and tires?

[@TheLemonFactor]

I was on the optional 19" Honda OEM rims, with Purecontact LS all-season tires in 235 width.

[@AnonymousHippo5]

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking maybe the stock (non optional OEM) rims would give you better fuel economy on the highway? Maybe your optional OEM rims are heavier or less arrow dynamic? But on the other hand the stock rims and your optional OEM rims are both 19" rims and I am guessing they are the same size tire. @@TheLemonFactor

[@TheLemonFactor]

@AnonymousHippo5 I think they’re the same size. Although I’m not sure what the difference is between the weight of the wheels.

[@Rob-fx2dw]

Poor sound from the stereo combined with road noise is an indication of lack of insulation in places like the doors and under the back seat, boot and firewall. This is easily and cheaply addressed by more spray on underbody sealant as well as sound deadening material in the doors and under the rear seat as well as the boot including the wheel arches. A few hundred dollars with an hour or two of work will reduce the noise and improve the stereo sound rather a lot. I have done it on few cars of late and it is remarkable how much difference it makes especially to the music and rumbling noise from tyres on poor roads.

[@TheLemonFactor]

Seems like a lot of work 🤔 🤷‍♂️

[@Rob-fx2dw]

@@TheLemonFactor Not so much. Door panels are easy to remove - a few minutes each door. Cutting out the deadener is also surprisingly easy and it can be done for about ten to 15 minutes per door. That alone will make big difference to your music system and some to the road noise. Rear seat removal is usually just 5 minutes on most cars and application of sound deadener takes about another five to ten munutes. Accuracy is not a critical thing cutting out the material. Same with rear trunk insulation - Just twenty minutes or so for the whole job. Wheel arches a little longer but you don't have to do them to still get a good result. Most of the deadeners are easy to cut with a pair of a scissors and they can be easily rolled on with a hard roller (available from hardware shops) when the backing is removed so they stick themselves. You will be impressed with the difference just doing that. If you want you can also do the underbonnet (under hood) area which is also easy and should only take only 10 to 15 minutes. Underbody spray on sealer/deadener is a little more time consuming and is usually not mandatory if you have separate underbody shields. .

[@TheLemonFactor]

I love mine 2018 Honda accord touring 2.0turbo

[@TheLemonFactor]

Have you had any issues with your 2018 Accord?

[@julzmax956]

I have a 2018. The audio was effin terrible and I couldn't stand it, I upgraded the speakers to JBL speakers all around with damping mat and foam and that made a dramatic difference even with the factory stereo. I also added a Rockford Fosgate 10" self powered sub in a tiny box so it does not take up a lot of room. Sounds so nice now. The factory GoodYear Touring tires really sucked they even wore out really quick so I replaced them with something else. During the pandemic, a lot tires were hard to get a hold of so the only tire I was able to get at the time was some cheap West Lake tires from Discount Tire and yo the difference in road noise and overall ride was HUGE! Really smooth and quiet. One last thing, the road departure feature absolutely scared me once because I had it set to on while on the highway and the right side lane white line disappeared due to some road construction and the next thing I knew, the steering jerked itself to the right almost hitting the cement barrier. After that I never turned that feature on again.

My head gasket blew on my old engine at 180k Honda replaced it for new engine for 6k due to a coolant leak would have been 4k just to replace head gasket. I replace my oil every 5k and have it inspected by my mechanic. Because of all the freeway driving I do I've only had to replace my brakes and rotors once, it goes through tires like crack. I have added aftermarket camber kits to fix the factory camber set. I have replaced the factory stereo head unit for a custom one that can do SDR, added turn and courtesy lights to the side of the car, added an inverter to the trunk, added interior rgb lights.

@@TheLemonFactor possibly. I will add, in the hifi audio world, typically speakers that sound overly great on first listen typically are boosted in the higher end frequencies.
