Good car

This car met all my needs. As a drawback I see that it’s so easy to scrach its paint when someone opens wide his door we have got a mark.

I love it!

From the moment I saw the car, I was impressed with it. I was basically going to take anything because I needed to just get from point A to point B. It was more than satisfactory.

Awesome car would buy another one

Loved driving it, wouldn't get rid of it if I wasn't upside down on it . Other than that it is a great car. Thanks for reading.

Very nice, but..

I purchased my 2016 Honda Accord v6 touring with only 14,000 miles on the odometer, in Mar-2019. You would not notice this in a test drive but 2016 and 17 Honda Accords have very small but irritating flaws. 2 weeks after purchase my front LED headlight DRL went out. It was still on the factory warranty so it was replaced but I still had to waste time. It seems to be a prevalent issue that Honda just will not address. Next thing is the gearbox. It's incredibly unrefined and designed more towards gas saving then anything else. It jumps around a lot and slows the car down when you just want it to cruise. For me it is not a big deal but if you research this you will see that a lot of people have complaints about this. Get a version with flappy pedals gearbox. My Accord has a remote start but you have to be very close to the car for it to work, I assume that's because of manufacturer making sure it wasn't easy to steal the car when it was parked outside the house and the key was inside (I hope) otherwise it would have been a terrible idea from Honda. You can easily go around this by installing a security system, most of which will work up to 2,000 ft, but then if you spend $22,000 (or more) on a car why should you be spending another $300 to $500 on a security system? Another issue I noticed is when I did my research I saw a lot of people complain about the car having issues with alignment, most specifically that it is very easy to take the wheels out of alignment in normal driving. I think this may have to do with several factors. One this car is a lot wider than it seems from inside the cabin so unless you're very careful you will hit the curb. Next I also noticed it's advanced lane keeping assistance is extremely helpful but if you set it to keep the car in lane, it will jerk it three times the moment you leave the lane which I think may have an impact on alignment. You can of course turn this off and simply have an audio/visual warning. I think the car is extremely good looking, especially if you get the touring version which is lower to the ground and has diffusers and other sporty accents. As I have dated above the gearbox may suck but I averaged up to 35 miles to the gallon on the highway and 15 to 20 MPG in the city depending on my driving, which is really good for a v6 and a car in this category and of this size. Overall, I would definitely recommend this car for its legendary reliability, looks and comfort, if you are willing to deal with rather minor annoyances.

Not Impressed.

I bought this car in 2017 and the radiator blew on me not too long after. Thankfully, the radiator was replaced under warranty. The brakes are not that great. I do commute a lot, but not a lot of stop and go driving. The front rotors warped around 17K miles and making a grinding sound. Unfortunately, these are not covered under the extended warranty. They stated it's a wear and tear item. A few weeks ago, when it was warm here in the Bay Area, I turned on my Air Conditioner and was greeted with nice WARM air ! There is no Freon ! Dealership stated that it is not their responsibility if there is a leak. Extended warranty will only cover the repair if the Air Conditioner doesn't turn on at all. This is according to the dealer where I bought the car. They might be feeding me a line. Who knows. I'll just take to a mechanic I trust and get the repairs done on my own. Then I will get rid of the car. I'm done with Hondas.

This car delivered exactly what I was looking for.

This Accord was everything I hoped it would be and more. The attention to detail, styling, amenities and comfort were the main reasons I chose it, but the reliability and performance exceeded my expectations.

Best Used car

I feel in love with my Honda Accord on the first test drive. It has a very smooth, quiet drive, as well as great breaks, steering, and feels very spacious in the interior of the car. love the look both inside and out, drives really well in rain, snow and shine!

Nice change from my 2013 destroyed in an acvident

I was very impressed how my older 2013 Accord protected me in a severe accident. I went out quickly and got the newer style 2016. Looks brand new ...Gary Yoemans Honda nice to deal with being the largest Honda Dealer in the USA. Rides bit better than old one and steering has been tightened up and I think Honda updated the somewhat jerky at times CVC tranny. Look forward to another great car.

Simply amazing

It’s like a best friend that will never ditch you no matter what. It’s the best car I’ve ever bought. Worth every penny and the resale value is also great.
