2011 Honda Accord consumer reviews

I bought a 2011 Accord EX-L Pros: Handling especially around curves, acceleration, safety, fun to drive, buttons are easy to reach and to recognize, heated seats, moonroof, climate control, cd changer, trunk space Cons: MPG- I average about 22-23 MPG and I drive mostly highways! If I would've known that earlier, I would've went for the V6. Seats to me are comfortable, but they could have a little more cushioning. Road noise. No miles to empty or average miles to gallon (have to figure that out yourself) Most cars have those in this price range. When I researched this car, people complained about the seats being uncomfortable. I could not disagree more, I think the seats are comfortable, they could've given a little more cushioning- but that's being picky. This is my first honda, and I love it- the car handles well- accelerates quickly for a 4 cylinder, and has tons of room. As I stated earlier, the negative with the car is the MPG- I went with the 4 for the suggested miles per gallon, but it's not even close for me (I'm getting 22-23 and drive mostly highway). According to the estimates, I would've got the same in the V6- the MPG was a huge determining factor for my purchase. Despite that being said, if you are in the market for a new car, I suggest driving an accord- take it out for a while (some people have complained about the seats after being in car for a while), make sure it's comfortable for you. I love this car and highly recommend it- I loved it the moment I drove it off the lot and 2 months later still love it! I wouldn't buy another car! The exterior is sleek and stylish and the interior is just as nice, thank you Honda! But as I stated, I would've bought the V6 instead due to the low MPG.

The 190HP engine has great pickup and is very responsive and fun to drive. The handling is TIGHT even when compared to a BMW. The maintenance minder system has sensors in the engine to accurately let you know when you need your next oil change. Daytime running lights look amazing and are a great safety feature. The 2011's redesigned tail lights are very nice looking as well. The clutch is smoother than butter. Overall, driving this coupe is very fun. The base model LX-S coupe comes with steering wheel controls for both cruise control and audio. The USB port makes plugging in an Android, Iphone, IPod or flash drive very easy! The best part is controlling the media device with the cars music controls! Navigating through gigs of music is made very easy with the controls. Standard 6 disc CD changer in the dash. 160 watt audio. Treble, Bass, fader and balance controls are useful. The cloth bucket seats have a very smooth texture and are comfortable. The back seat folds down for extra trunk space and will easily fit long skis.

I got my EX-L V6 in January 2011. All I can say is, best bang for buck for a family sedan. Dealer is willing to make the deal of the century. I'm paying slightly lower than normal invoice price. Pros: - Styling both interior and exterior. - Good gas mileage for V6. - A lot of room. - Great handling for FWD car. - Sturdy, feels solid on the road. - Many luxury features, seat memory, homelink, xm radio, Compass, auto dim rear view mirror, 6 CD changers, etc standards. - Reliable. - Low cost to maintain. - Great finance. - Great Safety features. Cons: - Trunk room is a bit small. - A bit slow for V6. - No 60/40 split seats, but I don't care anyways. - Speakers are not as good as I thought. - Toyota has better paint quality. Over all, Best bang per buck. I just can't believe how luxury this car looks both in and outside. The conservative styling should look good for years too. If you look around pros and cons, cons is not thing compare to what you get. Don't even look at Sonata and Camry trust me. You're looking at monthly repair on Sonata, and short quality material on Camry. Sonata transmission is horrible. Steering problem and use old Mitsubishi's GDI engine that Honda got much further in efficiency but stop using because of carbon build up problem 15 - 20 years ago. You just can't beat experienced car companies. I LOVE MY ACCORD. IT MADE IN MY FAMILY WEEKEND CAR. This is coming from a 26 year old single person with parents and a sibling.

This car is Amazing! I have owned this car for approximately three months now; and have enjoyed almost every moment! I am in high school and very well educated. I had been searching for a new car for over One-and-a-Half Years. Going into the dealerships, I knew much more information about the specific cars than the sales people did. Before owning this vehicle, I had a 1998 Honda Accord Coupe LX-V6. It had around 120,000 miles on it with many problems with windows and such (most likely was in an accident before). I really was hoping to get another brand of vehicle, looking at Nissan, Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Mazda, etc. I was also hoping to get a crossover vehicle with AWD. None of the vehicles I tried really felt like myself. The Ford Edge felt way too generic and cheap while the Hyundai Sonata was a little too concerning for me (reliability and steering column). I also tried other vehicles, but they were too far to purchase. I live in a relatively small town with limited brand choices. I was really interested in owning a Nissan, but the closest dealership was 52 miles away (Too far for my father). I am concerned for the environment and safety. I love how the Accord received a 34highway/23city EPA status and a 9 out of 10 on the green score. I also very much enjoy the comforting security of the new Safety Crash test ratings (5 star car). Many of the automakers have trouble with the new ratings, but Accord remains a perennial in this competition. Finding the Accord was a dream. I had just seen 2 Ford Edge's with many miles. I decided to go to one more place since the Hyundai Sonatas were on sale. The dealership had both Honda and Hyundai brands. The Sonatas were nice, but didn't really appeal to me too much. I had been admiring the Honda Accord Crosstours for several months, but they were too expensive. I looked over to the other side of the lot and saw a white 2010 Accord on sale for 3000 less than MSRP. It was a bad color for me and I didn't like the tan interior. I then noticed that the 2011 Honda Accords were on sale for nearly the same price. I fell in love as I sat in the beautiful Metallic Black Accord with Black leather. The car glistened in the dark night sky. I loved the addition of the faux tail lights in the rear and the crosstour-esque grille. The grille really got me as it gave it an aggressive, stealth-like look. I bought the roadside warranty for the next five years for my traveling to and from college. I plan to own it for a little over five years and hopefully only put around 30,000 miles at most on it. I have a light foot in driving, but love the power from the four cylinder engine. I can accelerate respectively fast and passing people is a breeze on the highway. The RPMS are AWESOME. They stay very low almost all the time, even with hard acceleration. I don't think it has ever reached 4000 RPM yet. This car also handles very well in turns. I love the handling of this car as it does EVERYTHING I ask it to exactly how I ask it to. The ride is a little harsh, but I love to feel the road and "become one with the road". The winter has been a little harsh on my car as it is outside all the time. When the temperature is very cold, it does hesitate a little with starting. I can't wait for summer/spring so I can use the window feature on the key fob. It handles excellent in the snow for a front-wheel drive car and the traction control works quite well even in 4 inches of snow. The heated seats are awesome to have on frigid winter mornings. The car's heating system works very well, also. The seats are a little on the firm side, but they are still comfortable - love the lumbar support. I love the sound system on this car. The USB was a little daunting at first, but I have figured how to only listen to a desired album. The XM radio is also a great feature in this car (not standard). The bass is great even when at zero. Bluetooth has been a little confusing (bad phone connection - LG Shine). The six-disc CD changer is excellent for road trips and not having to change CDs for months. I love to listen to classical/Icelandic music in this car and stare at the passing clouds/stars in the very roomy/comfortable back seat. This car has loads of headroom. I JUST CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS CAR! LOVE IT!!! 2,100 miles so Far!!

The Accord rides firmly. It feels more controlled over major bumps but most bumps are met by loud suspension responses. Compounding this is road and wind noise, which are both very loud.The front seats are to small for male drivers.

I used to be a toyota owner, but I decided to go with Honda because of all the negative publicity with Toyota and didnt want to put my new grandbabies any harm if I can avoid. I have had my Honda for two months now and it enjoyable to drive.

My first Honda is Honda 130, I hope my Honda 2011 Accord will run to 2030. My opion in Accord V6 is better than I4, Do not save your money to buy Honda, and do not Save your money to buy Hyudai.
