"I traded in a fairly late model Toyota Camry for the 2012 Honda LX-P. The only thing I miss about the Camry is the automatic headlights. Every square inch of the Honda Accord is excellent for it's price range. The ride, power, handling, braking, transmission, and traction are all superb! It feels very sold and heavy, though it's about the same weight as the Camry. It also feels SAFE on the highway, where the Camry felt weak, hard to handle, and the ride was poorly controlled. I've also had several Hondas, and this is the best one yet!"

"I've owned two other Honda Accords, but this is the classiest, most refined one. It's quiet, plenty of power, a comfortable ride, and a clear dashboard. And most importantly of all, it was at least $2,000 cheaper than theotehr two Hondas!"

"Bought a 2012 EX-L V6 Navi. Beautiful car. Interior is great. Seat are sporty and supportive. Build quality excellent. Perfect rear seat room, very ample. V6 is tons of fun. Handles firmly. I am not planning on going to the track but has a pleasant amount of road feel and is very responsive. Was looking at a german sports sedan or ATS but this can was 10-20k less and is beautiful and a blast. Great design. And reliable to boot."

"2012 Honda EX-L V6. Outstanding performance. Very Quiet. The interior layout it remarkable. The seats are very comfortable even on long trips. I don't know how anyone could not love this vehicle. The dealer was very professional and 1st rate on price. This is my 3rd Honda. I also have 3 Chevrolet's which have all been just as nice and reliable as this Honda will be."

"Well, I bought a 2012 Honda Accord without doing my homework. My main concern was safety so I bought the car and assumed all would be well. BIG MISTAKE. I have since traded it in at a great loss to myself to get another car (Nissan Altima 2013). Here's why the 2012 Honda Accord is awful. First and foremost the front seats are unbearable. You will squirm trying to find a comfortable position if you are in the car for longer than 10 minutes. My back began to hurt after a 30 minute drive and I am 26 years old!! If physical pain is the price for a safe car, it's not worth it. My second problem with the Accord is that cabin noise is bad. You will hear wind, other cars engines and radios. I'll mention the positives just to be fair. The car has good power, excellent steering and solid brake feel. But, since you will be miserable sitting in the car, it's not worth it. And, if you still feel compelled to test drive this car, go for a long test drive. I hope I can help others avoid the same mistake I made."

"I had a 2002 Honda Accord EX V6 and replaced it with a 2012. I loved my old Honda, but after driving the new 2012 I did not want to get back into my old car. It feels solid and safe and drives like a dream."

"My first Honda, but bought one for our son 20+ years ago and he liked it. I like the V-6 engine and the fact that it only operates on 3 cylinders most of the time. Like the Satillite radio a lot. Found a great jazz station. Like the color, white and the interior, tan."
