A Nice Car for the Money

So far, I am pleased with my purchase. The car handles well and has adequate acceleration, even with the fuel economy feature engaged. Plenty of trunk space. Many safety features such as back-up camera, right turn camera, lane drift warning to name a few.

Car of my dreams

After testing the Honda Accord Ex L sedan, with all the bells and whistles and the comfortable noiseless ride, I was convinced that I deserved this 2013, brand new car. I am 77 years old and haven't owned a new car since I was 24 and purchased a 1960 T Bird. I love the keyless entry, leather seats, variety of radio options, push button starter, rear and side cameras and the visuals. I could go on and on, but it's time for a drive.

Will never buy another Honda

My 6 month old 2013 Accord has been back to the dealer at least 6 times because of electrical system problems. Dealer doesn't know what's wrong. Occasionally car stalls and all indicator lights come on; low tire pressure light is almost always on even when tires are properly inflated. The ten year old Camry I traded in was far more reliable than this piece of junk. Additionally, it's very noisy on the highway & has an uncomfortable ride. Can't wait to trade it in.

Best Choice

I researched buying a new car for over a year. I wanted to buy a car built in the US. Also, the majority of the parts come from the US. I also wanted a top of the line car that did not require premium fuel. It is very reliable, comfortable and dependable. The safety aspects are great, it is easy to get in and out of. I would not hesitate in buying a Honda Accord EXL all over again.

Perfect except for homelink

Love the new Accord EX-L and all the cameras, styling etc. Only thing I don't understand is why the HomeLink feature was not made standard on this model.

first and last accord

Owned accord sport for 3 month and extremely disappointed in Honda product. After 2010 altima, which is not exactly premium car, accord feels ?just raw, poorly designed and pushed into production before fixing baby boo?s? Grinding noise at cold start up, wind noise, uncomfortable seats, 4 speaker $50 walmart radio sound, road noise, sluggish CVT, small storage, rattles, intermittent squeaks, no trunk pass through, noisy AC fan, very weak headlights? City MPG is around 22-23 vs altima 25-26. Accord feels comfortable and solid only on good road and at 60-65 MPH speed. Looking to trade it asap.

First Honda (Accord 6 cyl)

Overall good but not great! Pros include good responsiveness, luxury look and feel, very good fit and finish, right side-view camera is great!!! Somewhat noisy in traffic but not too bad. Good value for the money. Very roomy inside. I am 6'3' and people have room to sit behind me. Good and Bad: Information computer has everything you want, but way too many many buttons and dials to push, press, and/or twist to get to where you want to get. Cons: Radio is the worst I have experienced in many, many cars. The sound is very tinny and a lot of static comes through even when listening to close in stations. The convex drivers side side-view mirror is awful. I get dizzy every time I look in that mirror. I'm going to break it just to have a plain mirror installed. I gave reliability 5 stars, but don't factor that into your decision. I never had one of these cars before and just got it two weeks ago. I can't realistically judge its reliability.

Honda engineering at its' best

Have been a Honda owner for several years owning several Civics but this Accord is the best I've ever owned. The gas mileage is impressive with an easy 35 mpg on unleaded regular for the initial 700 miles around town in Florida stop and go traffic. The quietness of the cabin and the comfortable seats are also noteworthy. There is a decent amount of room in the back seats and the trunk is roomy enough for golf bags or baggage. My only negative worth mentioning is the reflection of the dash board on the the windshield. This may be unavoidable to factor out in the design angle of the windshield, as there is good visibility viewing forward, so it may be a trade off.
