I own the same 1.5 2018 Honda Accord sport, I just love it .. good bass !! Looking for the upgrade in coming years. More interior color palette, Panasonic roof, certainly some change to the stapler back light. Gear shift knob more l;Ike how Cadillac ct6 have. In general this is an amazing vehicle ,,,,
@Raiti's Rides Do a little showdown with an Accord 2.0t Sport and the Camry V6 XSE and give us a video on which is the best car in a full, honest, Zonkified break down...🙏.....it will go viral 👌
I have had one for 15 months and was very impressed with the cornering capacity. I get 35 mpg driving 20 miles to work on a two lane road.Have never had it on the highway but bet it would hit 40 mpg. 15.5 in the quarter with a engine smaller than my Harley motorcycle. For the 23 k I paid it seems a deal.
This review really helped me realize why I bought an 2019 accord sport 1.5t brand new in 2019, not ready to give it up yet. Has been a great car, not one warranty repair, maintenance only! Still love it!
Nice...I'm in the market for a 2019-2020 Accord, the same red in this video, just trying to decide between the Sport 1.5 or the EX L. I like look of the sport but the interior of the EX L (and a sunroof but asking myself, do I need a sunroof?)...Lol! Not looking into the Sport 2.0 because I don't care for the push button transmission.
I just got the Honda Accord Sport in red-❤️ it! Ppl say I’m crazy 😝 to drive a stick in Atlanta traffic....it keeps me more alert and focus....such a great car!
I purchased the 1.5T Touring this month in San Marino Red and absolutely love the car. It handles great and love the acceleration and safety features like lane assist and sport mode. This is my 4th Accord and my favorite so far, this car has more power than my old 2007 Accord EX with the V6 and much better mpg!
Thanks for sharing this review. I have a 2013 Accord Sport with the 6spd manual and it's a fun car. It's not a speed demon, but it likes to rev and it handles fairly well. I love that Honda knows how to match engines with manual transmissions, so that they work in harmony.
Just picked one of these 2019 Accord Sport 1.5T in Steel. Actually getting the windows tinted today. Plenty of good things such as the Instrument Cluster, the 1.5T motor is legit, seats are fantastic and it drives phenomenal. Great solid vehicle. I went from 2016 Civic EX.
Have the same vehicle in the hybrid format and just love this car. Recently i did some mods recommended by Honda Jon and the upgrade makes this a much better vehicle.
My 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 (manual) is a great car. Will go down in Honda history as a milestone imo. Faster and quicker than would be expected, very refined and slick.
I bought a 2019 1.5ltr Sport model when it came out. I absolutely love the car, with two exceptions; #1- Honda needs to add some sound insulation; I've been on rougher road surfaces while talking on the phone hands free, and people have asked me if I have the windows down-- yeah, loud. #2- The CVT- not lovin' it, however, it is smooth and unobtrusive, but I'd much rather see even a 6spd auto. That being said, there is SO much value in this car; it's an absolute joy to drive, there's tons of room, the steering and handling is superb, and gas mileage is fantastic for such a 'large' car (+/- 27 mpg City -- 36-37 mpg Hwy. Keep up the good work, Honda, but please, at least give us a 'sound insulation' package!
4:15 it's not just for looks. If you look underneath, there's a ton of drip from DI on pipes. Detaching is what prevents goo from being visible. Pretty good attention to detail.
Great review Joe. I bought a 1.5 sport with 6spd manual. It is not uncommon for me to see 45mpg on my mixed daily commute to work. Quite surprising! What drives me CRAZY is the lack of smart entry key fobs I’m used to having. :/
I have the exact same car. Agreed about having to use the fob to unlock the door. My previous car was an '09 Altima 2.5s (second to lowest trim) and IT even had an unlock button on the door handle. I thought that would be a standard feature on all car trims by now.
Owner of a 2008 v6 and lifelong Honda fanboy... I can’t believe how much value and performance is packed into these new Accords. The price is still the same as I payed 11 years ago!
Yes, I remember back in 2000 an Accord EX-L V6 was around $25k. Now the EX-L 2.0T is around 29k but you get so much more for your can. Adjusted for inflation we consumers are making out like bandits !
The only way to go with 1.5T is to get it with the manual transmission. Otherwise the 2.0T is a must with the 10AT or 6MT. Getting the CVT is absolutely abysmal.
Dante E when a new generation Accord comes out , like most cars (it refreshes 3 years later, unless there’s an emergency refresh) lol... but if you look at the previous Accords (it mostly refreshed every 3 years and then redesigns 2 years later)
Wow I didn’t know that most people don’t like the Accords design I love it I just find it funny when nobody hasn’t said anything about the front of the Chevy Malibu it’s an ugly front design
Lavonte A lol I feel like most people tolerate the front than those staple looking tail lights lol... the front of the new Accord looks nice (well mostly in the Sport trim) , but the rear ... 🤢
Ugh, I want to like the Accord I really do but the rear crab-claw taillights are such a dealbreaker for me. Why couldn't they use the Honda Insight rear instead? I mean the fronts are practically identical... =(
So true! I have a 98 Honda Accord EX 2.3 Liter. The engine died in the middle of the week. I purchased the 2019 Sport 1.5T. Still in shock because of all of the advanced technology. Love it!
Just traded a 2014 Accord with a CVT, always kind of worried abut reliability but really thought it was a very smooth transmission. Just bought a 2019 Touring model, 10 speed is amazing. BMW, Mercedes and the like in the size class has nothing over this car.
I am personally a Camry person because I am a Toyota fan boy, but I have respect for the accord due to its comparable insane reliability with the Camry
Fabian Vazquez Yes agreed! But the Honda has had problems with their turbos...so it is not reliable. Also Honda’s CRV has had problems with their Turbos and oil dilution problems..
@@copyninja2004 exactly. Both are rated 7.2 second to 60. I have the one with the cvt and added a piggy back tuner and intake and it's totally a different drive
Joe, you & I don't always agree, although we are in accord with this model... it is value priced. Of course, as you know, the Sport is simply a base model with better wheels/tires and badging.... to get the sunroof, turn signals on the mirrors, heated mirrors, nicer interior, etc., one must step-up to the EX or EX-L. I purchased a new Accord Sport in 2015, one year later traded for a new 2016 EX-L V6; the difference between those two vehicles is quite noticeable... I love the '16 with the V6. The dealership tried to get me to trade my '16 for a '19, but I did not want to give up the V6 and, in my opinion, the tail of the '19 Accord looks too much like a Civic. Perhaps my next car will be the new Acura Type-S (2020??) which is suppose to feature a V6 turbo; looking forward to seeing your review of the new Acura S when it becomes available. Thanks
@@user-zx3zi1rc5o I have a red 1.5 sport too. It has plenty of power. I haven’t given it full throttle yet because I’m waiting for the engine to break in but it’s the fastest 4 cyl I’ve ever had and I’ve had a ton! Check out my car on my page.
Yes it is a great deal for the price I have one and I love it it's also very fast if you know how to drive it,. So don't underestimate that hundred and ninety-five horsepower Turbo.
Yes the difference in $$$ isn't that much. You only live once why settle on something good when you can spend a couple of grand more and get something that is truly outstanding. You did well my friend.
I have this same car in lunar silver with the 1.5t cvt. Really great car, I've added a piggy back tuner and intake, its pushing out another 3.5 pounds of boost over stock. Pretty close to that 2.0
Jose Fernandez NICE! What’s a piggy back tuner? Is it stage 1! I’d love to link up with you on social media & follow your build! Haha. I want the 2016 accord touring v6 but crazy on gas Im thinking
The only thing that bothers me when buying this car The taillights, they have aftermarket for this problem. Super nice!! Push button start but not smart entry most of the competitors offer that as standard in this price range, except Honda and Toyota
I got mine used with 4800 miles for $21K. I'm so glad I didn't go for a brand new 2020. The things that I miss from my previous car(2014 Camry SE) is the ignition keys, brake lever, CD player, and clearer rear camera. My assessment: Pros: Bigger side mirrors, analog buttons on the display screen, great sight lines. Cons: Rear passenger floor has elevated ground, unlike my old Camry. The steering wheel requires a little muscle to steer. Other than that, after driving for a week, I feel like I'm driving my old Camry.
@joel Rodriguez But the accord is a 4cylinder just has a turbo and the 4 cylinder Camry makes about the same power with out the turbo just has a bigger 4 cylinder engine 🤦♂️
I have a 2019 sport Honda manual transmission, I love it, wish he would have been in a manual Accord 2019, mine is white, bought the only manual on the lot!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
Joe, great channel! Zonk it bro! Just Zonk it! Seriously though - can you get some local Tampa sponsors? Like a local coffee spot to test out the cup holder.
Ratti! I test drove this exact model today and torn between this and a Honda Civic coupe that was fully loaded! I’m sure I’d love the accord 2.0 the best but they didn’t have one at the dealership.
Not really a Honda guy but they've done a pretty good job with the Accord. They definitely deserve two thumbs up for making a family sedan available with a manual in 2019! 👍🏻👍🏻 Great review as always Joe!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 #savethemanuals
Test drove the 2.0 turbo. Compared to the Mazda6, the accord was more fun. I think it had something to do with the more grippy tires, whereas the 6 has eco suv tires. The other thing i liked about the accord was it had more leg room in back than the 6. My current car is a Mazda3 hatchback. Since my girlfriend has the SUV, I am looking at getting a bigger car, the accord is one I am looking at.
Same here. I drove the Mazda6 with and without the turbo. Frankly I don't really think the turbo really enhances the car all that much. It feels quicker but doesn't feel quick enough. The Accord with the 2.0T is a beast. I have never driven something this large that moves this quickly. You probably have to go to a 50k plus German import to get that kind of performance. The Mazda6 (in the Signature trim I drove) feels a little quieter at idle, as I felt some engine vibration at idle in a Accord that i didn't feel in the Mazda6. But when you put your foot down the Accord is much quieter.
Heard there was a huge demand on using new Accord rims as bate in easy places for crosshairs! I wouldn’t wanna be that person! Nationwide. Apply now! Lol
In your opinion would you rather get the Accord sport or the Accord hybrid? They are similar in price but the hybrid has more power and better MPG. But in the sport, you get nicer wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, and adjustable seats. I’m having a hard time decide!!
Hi Travis! Personally I would go with the Sport because of the way that it drives. Yes getting better fuel economy is great but for me I like to have an engaging time while I am driving and you get more of that with the Sport!
Obviously, this is another indisputable quality and value product from Honda. Folks, you just can’t go wrong with this vehicle...especially with Honda reliability! It’s 99.5% family sedan IMHO!!!
The Rear is Ugly. Everything else is fine. But I think the Camry XSE looks better outside. I would put the interior of this Accord on the Camry XSE BODY
Why is everyone hating on the 1.5 CVT lol 😂 I have a 2018 with a little over 30k miles Nd it still runs great. My car is always up to date with maintenance especially the oil. Honda recommends once a year but I do it every 5 thousand since it’s CVT.
I’m annoyed it doesn’t have blind spot monitoring. I use my mirrors and glance over my shoulder anyway but for a 2020 car at over 27k, they should have included it!
Should i buy the accord sport 2.0 where there are more cars of that trim or where there are less? There's 2 Honda dealerships near my house. One dealership has 8 Sports 2.0 and the other dealership has 25.
Hi raitisrides, ive watched all your brz and 86 videos. Still stuck between the two. Hopefully you can make a video comparing the two side by side (2019)
If I were to buy a new vehicle I would get a Toyota or a Honda cause I would want to be stranded on the side of the road within 10 years of owning a new car. (Aka Chrysler and GM products)
Wow, really? That’s why I was opting for the ‘19 over the ‘18. I wanted to avoid the bugs and issues that usually follow a design change. Oh well, the search continues. Definitely want no parts of the oil dilution issue.
I think the 1.5 Sport is the least valued trim. I’d go with the 1.5 EX or, what I chose, the 2.0 Sport. Both the EX and 2.0 Sport come with a lot more equipment. Blind Spot monitor, remote start, sunroof, A/C vents for the rear seats, and satellite radio among others. For the difference in price from the 1.5 Sport the engine alone is worth the money, let alone all those other features. If you can’t afford it, get the 1.5 EX, throw some rims on if you want, and you get all the stuff I mentioned above that’s on the 2.0 Sport.
REALLY considering the sport or the ex for my next car in the next few months my lease will be up on my 16 Civic. Really am torn between the Accord and the CRV though. I'm a family man now so I just want more room. The Accord is plenty big for a family I know that
I’m thinking the accord back seat has more room.The trunk is huge.Car does sit low and a bit harder to get in and out of.Just depends on how important handling is to you as the accord handles great.
I'm yet enjoying my 2019 1.5t Honda Accord Sport! The look grew on me and I absolutely love it from front to back! It looks luxurious and sporty! 💯💪
Thanks for sharing your ownership input!
@@RaitisRides yes indeed! No problemo!
How is the sound system in it? Does it have good bass?

Between theft of wheels and the sport has wheels easy to curb. Must sell thousands of wheels a year for replacement.

Other than that, after driving for a week, I feel like I'm driving my old Camry.
Such a great review. Really dig your work
I appreciate you letting me share it with you!
Just brought a white 2021 Accord Sport Special Edition for my commuter and love it.
Congrats1
How much
picked up the accord sonic gray 1.5t sport today and I love it
Rims, Color, Front Fascia are a definite go for me. everything else is meh. But as always Joe and the Raiti's ride family, i enjoyed the video!
Thanks for letting me share another one with you!
Let's talk a little bit about accordion history🤣😂🤣 Great Videos!!
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Just got mine a few days ago and love it.
Congrats!
I'm A 22 year old making 20$ an hour am I able to afford something like this???
@@striker1752 I make around the same and I got the 2021 Honda Accord Sport depends on your living expenses and such. I don't carry debt so I'm good.
@@Tokyo_1031 no debt
For the price this is the best car , a friend of my buy a Camry 4 cil 38,000 when he said that , I say you’re freaking crazy
That’s how much I paid for my Tesla Model 3 😂
@joel Rodriguez But the accord is a 4cylinder just has a turbo and the 4 cylinder Camry makes about the same power with out the turbo just has a bigger 4 cylinder engine 🤦♂️
@@lilianacamacho7051 but Accord 1.5t isn't about speed. It's about comfortable ride. The 2.0t is faster than the Camry v6.
Best car reviews on youtube hands down i watch ur vidoes religiously
Thanks Ricky! It is great to have you as part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Love the new Accord 😍
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Lmaoo I love when you reference food like the the pretzels and planters peanuts in this vid XD
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I have a 2019 sport Honda manual transmission, I love it, wish he would have been in a manual Accord 2019, mine is white, bought the only manual on the lot!
You have a keeper for sure Patricia
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “ Chich chich chich chich the stapler tail lights “ lol
That’s funny as hell .... I never noticed that but you’re so right ......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I usually don’t like the black on black interior doors but because it’s a Honda I like it. 😂😂
I am. glad that I could share it with you!
Reminder, the seats are "vinyl" and cloth, not leather. No worries though, I have the 2018 sport (1.5t) and love it!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Eden Jaxon instablaster :)
No blown headgasket or injector issues??
Joe, great channel! Zonk it bro! Just Zonk it! Seriously though - can you get some local Tampa sponsors? Like a local coffee spot to test out the cup holder.
That would be a great idea! Thank you for your awesome support!
The biggest flaw with this 🚗💨 is that CVT transmission if you like to haul ass. If you're just a cruiser it's a perfect 🚗💨
I dreamed of the day you reviewed the Accord in the San Marino Red color ! 😍😍😂😂
I am glad that I could make it happen for you Dante!
Ratti! I test drove this exact model today and torn between this and a Honda Civic coupe that was fully loaded! I’m sure I’d love the accord 2.0 the best but they didn’t have one at the dealership.
“A high end restaurant!” 😭😭
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
I have one in Still Night Blue Pearl. My fifth Accord and the best one yet.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Not really a Honda guy but they've done a pretty good job with the Accord. They definitely deserve two thumbs up for making a family sedan available with a manual in 2019! 👍🏻👍🏻 Great review as always Joe!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
#savethemanuals
You are so very right Eric! I feel the same way!
The Honda Accord Sport 2018 Will Be The Gold Mine Time From Now.. The 2017 And 2019 And 2020 Etc Etc Etc.. Aint Beating The 2018..
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
God bless you boss. Keep doing your thing and keep your heart clean a spiritual soul felt this message 🙏
Test drove the 2.0 turbo. Compared to the Mazda6, the accord was more fun. I think it had something to do with the more grippy tires, whereas the 6 has eco suv tires.
The other thing i liked about the accord was it had more leg room in back than the 6.
My current car is a Mazda3 hatchback. Since my girlfriend has the SUV, I am looking at getting a bigger car, the accord is one I am looking at.
Same here. I drove the Mazda6 with and without the turbo. Frankly I don't really think the turbo really enhances the car all that much. It feels quicker but doesn't feel quick enough. The Accord with the 2.0T is a beast. I have never driven something this large that moves this quickly. You probably have to go to a 50k plus German import to get that kind of performance. The Mazda6 (in the Signature trim I drove) feels a little quieter at idle, as I felt some engine vibration at idle in a Accord that i didn't feel in the Mazda6. But when you put your foot down the Accord is much quieter.
Just got a 2.0t in modern steel. Loving the car aondsh
Nice review, just a small correction tho, its 29/35 not 24/35. Thanks for the informative review man !
Thanks for the extra info!
Heard there was a huge demand on using new Accord rims as bate in easy places for crosshairs! I wouldn’t wanna be that person! Nationwide. Apply now! Lol
You crack me up!
Hi Joe. Great channel. You’re going to be big time! What do you currently drive as your daily driver?
Thanks for saying that! I have a Subaru WRX STI Type RA.
In your opinion would you rather get the Accord sport or the Accord hybrid? They are similar in price but the hybrid has more power and better MPG. But in the sport, you get nicer wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, and adjustable seats. I’m having a hard time decide!!
Hi Travis! Personally I would go with the Sport because of the way that it drives. Yes getting better fuel economy is great but for me I like to have an engaging time while I am driving and you get more of that with the Sport!
I like how he says..let’s fire this up and see what it sounds like haha
Almost silent.
I like it. Looks like a nice commuter car
I can't wait to get my accord sport
You will love it!
I loved when he said, “these guys here, ch ch ch ch,” when he got to the tail lights, lol!!! I was dead 💀!! Great review, though.
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
Raiti's Rides appreciate it, Joe. Thanks for these accurate reviews.
Ty, just picked one up as my secondary
Obviously, this is another indisputable quality and value product from Honda. Folks, you just can’t go wrong with this vehicle...especially with Honda reliability! It’s 99.5% family sedan IMHO!!!
AGREED!
The Rear is Ugly.
Everything else is fine.
But I think the Camry XSE looks better outside.
I would put the interior of this Accord on the Camry XSE BODY
Denis Reyes Camry exterior grown on me I still dont like their cheap looking front grill area but everything else is great
Actually the rear is quite nice..... but the fake dual exhaust really sucks!!!
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
@@henryhonda8408 It's real dual exhaust. Fake exaust tips
Yes I used the wrong wording.... thanks for the correct wording.
Joe please review the 2.0T with the 10 speed auto! If you havent already im not sure, i think you would enjoy that one!
Thanks for the suggestion! You are so very right, because I filmed a blue one.
Hey great video. I am considering getting this car (but year 2021). Can you tell me if this car still has the engine oil dilution problem?
I love this car
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Why is everyone hating on the 1.5 CVT lol 😂 I have a 2018 with a little over 30k miles Nd it still runs great. My car is always up to date with maintenance especially the oil. Honda recommends once a year but I do it every 5 thousand since it’s CVT.
Thanks for sharing your great ownership experience on your Accord.
I watched two Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo reviews back to back and I think I am pulling towards right
I have a 19 accord sport 1.5T in white. Great car. Should've added parking sensors
I’m annoyed it doesn’t have blind spot monitoring. I use my mirrors and glance over my shoulder anyway but for a 2020 car at over 27k, they should have included it!
I agree
Should i buy the accord sport 2.0 where there are more cars of that trim or where there are less? There's 2 Honda dealerships near my house. One dealership has 8 Sports 2.0 and the other dealership has 25.
Hi raitisrides, ive watched all your brz and 86 videos. Still stuck between the two. Hopefully you can make a video comparing the two side by side (2019)
That is a great idea! I would go BRZ.
Both are beautiful, but If you wanna do Lyft or uber, I think the Camrys more ideal. Look at the cabs, they're mostly camrys
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
If I were to buy a new vehicle I would get a Toyota or a Honda cause I would want to be stranded on the side of the road within 10 years of owning a new car. (Aka Chrysler and GM products)
Might wanna Google Honda oil dilution
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
@@The1stMoRice Might wanna Google Toyota transmission problems.
Ryan Littleton ok. I did. Didn’t really see anything that stood out. Not like Honda’s oil dilution problem. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@The1stMoRice check carcomplaints. Even ol Scotty did a video about it.
Oil dilution in the 1.5 Turbo has not been fixed, people should be made aware of this.
Wow, really? That’s why I was opting for the ‘19 over the ‘18. I wanted to avoid the bugs and issues that usually follow a design change. Oh well, the search continues. Definitely want no parts of the oil dilution issue.
I think the 1.5 Sport is the least valued trim. I’d go with the 1.5 EX or, what I chose, the 2.0 Sport. Both the EX and 2.0 Sport come with a lot more equipment. Blind Spot monitor, remote start, sunroof, A/C vents for the rear seats, and satellite radio among others. For the difference in price from the 1.5 Sport the engine alone is worth the money, let alone all those other features. If you can’t afford it, get the 1.5 EX, throw some rims on if you want, and you get all the stuff I mentioned above that’s on the 2.0 Sport.
J D -none of the audio is that great, unfortunately. That’s the Accords weak spot for sure.
I really appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
@@jd3980 Thanks for your input!
@@chrisa2223 AGREED!
I drive this same trim and year but in blue. :) love it!
I am so happy to hear that!
REALLY considering the sport or the ex for my next car in the next few months my lease will be up on my 16 Civic. Really am torn between the Accord and the CRV though. I'm a family man now so I just want more room. The Accord is plenty big for a family I know that
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I’m thinking the accord back seat has more room.The trunk is huge.Car does sit low and a bit harder to get in and out of.Just depends on how important handling is to you as the accord handles great.
I read: between a sport or the "ex" gf. Haha.
Raiti's Rides , this or the Camry SE, if you had to pick one? Thanks in advance.
This Accord
Whats the difference between the 2018, 2019 & 2020 Honda Accord Sport 1.5t?
Broo i love this car , i am gonna buy someday
No!!!! The Touring 2.0 is the one to go!
It's always nice to have options!
No, I just know everything about this car.
I can't decide between this and a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia. I keep going back between your videos 😂
Accord ez
