Accord Sport CVT
Simply put, the value of what you get for the cost is amazing. Excellent quality paired with exterior styling (especially the Sport model). I average about 32mpg highway. I love how much less I'm making stops at the gas station. The interior is roomy for the driver and passengers. Controls layout is simple and intuitive. There are some flaws however. Sound system quality is lacking. I plan to replace the front speakers at least. I've noticed an occasional glitch in the technology ? sometimes my bluetooth paired cell phone tries to call my own number. A software update is expected to be released soon though so I hope this issue is fixed. There seems to be excessive wind noise from the driver's side when driving at high speeds. I plan to take my car to the dealer to have this resolved. Aside from the few minor, yet very fixable problems, it's a fantastic vehicle. Every friend that I've had seen it is amazed, especially when I tell them the price! I believe that the Sport model specifically is truly the best value for your dollar.

Bait and Switch
So, I see the Cars.com pricing and call the dealer to verify before I waste my time, send the $13 toll and go there. I ask the girl what other fees besides the price are there, excluding tax and DMV. In other words, no transportation or prep charges. She assures me no. I even ask her to confirm, before I head out there. She asks a general manager and comes back and assures me that is the price before tax and DMV. So my wife and I head out, only to find they want to charge documentation fees, transportation fees and prep fees. Total was around $1200. I thanked the manager for wasting my time and walked out.

Best Looking Accord Ever!
Just picked up a white Accord Sport model. Love the lines and the factory add ons, exterior styling is top notch. The interior has comfotable seating. I like the connectivity of the stereo system with Bluetooth and usb connections. Overall very happy. This is my second Accord, first was in 1996, hopefully it will prove to be just as reliable.

Accord Sport, best Accord yet.
The 2013 Accord Sport completely took me by surprise on my first drive. I was torn between the Camry and Fusion but decided to just take a look at the Accord. All three vehicles look good. Emotionally I was pulled to the Accord sport with the 18" wheels. The Accord was simple and elegant. As soon as I sat in the drivers seat though, my mind was made up. The first three things I noticed, the comfort of the micro fiber seats, the 1 piece dashboard, and the roominess of the passenger compartment. The microfiber seats were sporty and nothing like sitting on a towel as it is with many non leather interiors. I usually prefer leather but again the Sport drew me away from an Accord EX-L. The instrument cluster is leaps and bounds more readable and easy to utilize than Ford and more easy on the eyes than the Camry. The Multi Information Display also drew me to the Accord. Simple, gorgeous, and controls on the steering wheel. Every setting was easily controllable on the iMid. The steering wheel controls were illuminated and much easier to use than the Fusion and Camry. In only 50 miles of driving I can use my steering wheel controls without thinking or looking. The drive was mind blowing. At this point I knew this vehicle would be mine later that morning. I drove a 6MT and the CVT. Of course the manual transmission was great but due to the amount I drive is not ideal. To me that was no issue as I drove the CVT. The ride was smooth, quick, and quiet. The CVT still allowed a feeling of shift points and did not feel like the typical rubber bandy CVT. The paddle shifters let you choose between 7 ratios. This vehicle hugged the road, loose steering, and felt much more fun to drive than the other 4 cylinder Accords. It was fun to drive!! With the CVT!! Fuel efficiency was low 30s (31.3 to be exact) for 2/3 highway, 1/3 city. This was the smoothest 4 cylinder by a long shot. Lastly, the small features that really feel like it added great value to this vehicle was the auto headlights with fog lights, the back up camera, the 10 way power seat, and all the leather trim in this vehicle. In the end this vehicle drove better then the Camry and Fusion. The quality was leaps and bounds ahead.

Amazing car!
I have very recently bought a 2013, fully loaded accord. Already, after just a few weeks, I can honestly say this is the best car I've ever owned!!! (minus my honda s2000, which i still own!) It's very enjoyable to drive for a mid-sized sedan, looks awesome inside and out, and is a blast with the v6 and paddle shifters! I love this car, and I think Honda has done an awesome job, and has definately created a winner here. Best in the mid-sized class without question. The ONLY complaint I have, is this car doesnt have a 60/40 fold rear seat.

My Other Car Is A BMW
I bought a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L with a V-6 engine. First thing I did was to put larger tires (215/60R17) on it to replace the stock tires (215/55R17). With the bigger tires and the V-6 engine, this lighter car performs equally as good if not better than my other car a 2000 BMW 528i. The ride quality is excellent and the interior is nicely done with leatherette seat covers. I also added Body Side Guard strips to thwart the guys with their big SUVs and Pickup trucks when parking in a compact car parking space from dinging my doors. I'm as happy as a clam at high tide with my new wheels.
