Here in 2019. I love my Accord. This model is so classic compared to the new models. I had the dealer put leather seats, I then upgraded my stereo, got a free paint job and my baby will be here for a long time.
When I bought it in 2014, I bought the protection plan which is a warranty on the paint and interior. It was $560 for 5 years. It protects the paint from bird droppings, tree sap, water spots etc. Flash forward 4 yrs 11 months and I put in a claim. They restored my driver's side leather seat and painted the whole car. The warranty is supposed to repaint a panel where there might be a permanent stain on the paint. The guy says "fortunately for you, we can't just do a panel on a black car as the rest would never match. We have to do the whole car". Best $560 I ever spent.
I just bought 2013 Honda Accord Sport with 220,000 km on 1st of January 2020. I don't believe drive still good. I don't buy car other than Toyota or Honda. I think even the old 2013 accord transmission feel is better than Camry. I also have brand new 2019 Camry SE new 8 speed automatic transmission feel like yoyo keep shifting gear like its doesnt know what is the right gear.
Yep, I got my 2014 sport in January of last year. Drove it home from the dealership. Parked it once I got to my house. Came back out probably not even 30 minutes later and went to start the car and the starter just clicked. Luckily the dealership looked at it and put a new starter in the car for no cost but other than that it’s been a great car. But definitely seems to be a common issue.
enoma emmanuel Pretty sure the body side molding you mentioned is an optional extra on the sport model but it is probably different for new 2017 models.
is the gdi engine in honda prone to carbon build up? i really wanted this car until i started hearing about problems with a gdi.. now im not so sure.... HELP!!!! i havent heard any cases online about extreme carbon build up in hondas, but also honda hasnt mentioned that theyve done anything to prevent it.... cars with 75-100k+
Mary Fink I wouldn't worry about carbon buildup. Honda's are known for being extremely reliable, especially with their VTEC units! If you are still worried, just floor it every now and then to burn off addition carbon buildup around the valves and what not. You can also buy fuel additives to help reduce the risk of carbon buildup.
Mobile 1 fully synthetic, Change air filter, use marvel mystery oil in the fuel tank occasionally. ...and... Your Honda will last longer than most of us
Hello Eugene! This Accord is all stock. Any lip kit you see on this car is a factory option. Thanks for watching Motor Minds and we hope you continue to be a loyal follower!
The body kit is not factory !!! Its aftermarket, you can find on ebay or amazon, this car is white and the color of the unbody lip and rear underbody lip is aftermarket. !!
VIdeo FAIL!!! I thought you were a responsible young man with common sense (Until) you said it has a CVT. Why in the hell didn't you get a 6 speed Manual????? Epic Failure! The CVT sucks. The 6 speed Manual ROCKS!!!!!! Dude what you doing????
Honda makes the best cvt lol I agree that the manual is way better but I bought my honda accord 2014 sport like 3 yrs and never been to a mechanic,I've put almost 80K miles since I bought 3 yrs ago with 30K miles on it,I never had any issues,plus mine is FBO ,headers,catback,intake,hondata tune ,lowered on H&R springs ,enkei wheels etc.
@@joey1458 To me all that new parts you put into the car doesn't matter. The whole essence of the car is a 6 speed manual, than you start the upgrades. Save the Manual's!!!!!

Crappy starters in the accords. Research online and see how many folks have starters that go bad. Having the same issue myself

Nice review. Does the added door and bumper padding come standard with the accord sport or it's an after Market accessory?

What kind of lip kits does the car have? I like the front and rear bumper add on.

subscribed. i am looking for a larger car than my tiny Insight. This is probably it
Yeah makes sense the Accord is actually so big that is it almost classifies as a full size sedan!
I have a 2014 Honda accord lx
Awesome review!
P71 Thanks! Check out our new stuff if you like what you see!
I got the 2014 Honda accord LX in 2017
on a more serious note, v-tec is variable valve lift
Yup but the EarthDreams engine also has variable valve timing.
I just wanted to know what is the song intro name
Great review. But a cvt doesn't have gears...
Gabriel Seegobin Yeah I know, don't know why I said that but I put a message in the video about it.
Lol when did you change shirts 😂
Scotty Kilmer explains the earth dreams engine on you tube. Not good.
Definitely is good because my accord sport has 105k miles with no issues.
@@anthonyb2990 that’s not very many miles
terrible video it was about seeing the car not about seeing you talking
his fuckin eyebrows omg
