Just picked my Accord Touring 2.0T last week! I couldn't be happier. The Car handles the road extremely well. Steering is awesome. The new 10 speed transmission is buttery smooth, coupled with a great paddle shifters. Lastly, the cockpit is loaded with tech. This car will put a smile on your face each time you are behind the wheel. This is coming from a guy who used to own a BMW 4 Series. My old Beemer was surely more flashy & powerful with twin turbo V6.....However, this beatiful sporty Accord will make you smile each time I'm driving it! Ohh, and it cost me a lot less than BMW! Thank you Honda for building a fantastic family sports car, loaded with safety features and top notch tech goodies, that other luxury manufacturers charge $1000's for. I'm a happy Honda customer!
Ily Sayarh Honda is killing the competition right now. Struggling a bit in Formula 1 but that’s super hard to get right. They made a bold statement for FWD cars in the Nurburgring with the Civic Type-R new lap record. Beating Porsche and with a 6 speed manual is just unbelievable. My hats off to Honda!!! Ford and the rest need to do better if they want to keep up with Honda.
This car is beautiful. The design grew on me so fast. Hated it at first but friggin love it now. I'm stuck in an Acura lease right now but definitely going to get one of these this winter.
I also disliked it at first when I saw it on the road but once I saw that still night pearl color I was hooked 😍 I just got mine yesterday and love it but still have to run it a bit more to figure out how all the features work
I’m watching this as I already put my down payment on 2018 Accord Touring 2.0L with black front grill and lip spoiler in dark blue, it’s coming between Christmas and New Years and I’m so excited as this Accord is heavy on technology as well as awesome looks. Thank you for this video!
I love this car, I have the same one in the video just a 2019 and I gotta say it is fast, will definitely surprise you when you first get behind the wheel. It shifts so smoothly that it feels your getting continuous power and acceleration. It feels nimble and light on its feet, yet the handling is so precise that you feel confident taking on those twists and turns. The only thing is that because of the 19" rims the ride can be a bit rough on broken roads/pavement in the city but its not jarring at all.
Same here. Our 2 liter Touring is approaching 2 years old now and it still puts a smile on my face. Looks great, drives great, and all the tech you could ever ask for. It’s got more power, performance, and luxury features than a 4 cylinder mainstream sedan has any right to. Sure glad I didn’t plunk down $20k more for a German car.
@@lilmoris1 bro not gonna lie to you, the honda accord does look beautiful, my buddy got a red one and he even admitted if the camry was a bit cheaper he will take that all day. Camry will last longer and myself I was going to get the honda civic lx but ended up with 2020 corolla le Instead. Looking back when I got it , probably best decision I made especially for long term.
Very good review and I actually just purchased a 2019 Accord 2.0 Sport so I agree with everything you said about this amazing high quality Honda sedan🤙🏽
Love your reviews man, keep 'em coming. I was never interested in an Accord until I saw this car this past weekend at the Miami Auto Show; totally blown away! Really happy to see a manual still exists in the world. Will definitely have to consider this when my current lease is up
Glad Honda has caught up to the competition. Currently own a 2012 Kia Optima SXL (very happy with it) and will put this on my list to check out for my next vehicle purchase!
Great review on a great car. I recently bought a 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring (in Modern Steel), and LOVE it. The engine is smooth, it is plenty powerful when needed (I unintentionally spun the tires pulling out into traffic), the eCVT is smooth and always ready, and this car is quiet. However, I will say that the 47/47/47 mpg rating is not accurate. I got 55.7 mpg city mpg today and average in the HIGH 40s and low 50s when combined. It has so much technology. Everyday I'm learning new things it can do. This is a FANTASTIC car. Great looks (MANY compliments on the color and the car's looks from friends and strangers), superb quality and a quiet and luxurious ride. And it's a FUN car to drive. I may have to add stabilizer to the gas tank since I go so long before filling up.
You should get a weekend warrior car too, to add to your stables. Kidding - I have a 7th gen. Accord as well - it's doing just fine. Basically, I'll want to upgrade before 'I have to'.
As owner of both the Toyota Camry and the Accord Sport 1.5t, the Camry has a better seating position and less road noise at highway speeds. The Honda is better planted, handles curvy roads with less effort, and I prefer the Accord gadget control setup.
Just picked up mine yesterday and love it! At first I wasnt quite sure if I should get automatic or manual. I have had all 3 of my previous cars with manual transmission but since I work as a driver and i'm stuck in traffic all day. I felt it was best for me to get automatic to help me have a better commute. Also I found the color I loved in the 2.0t sport trim, still night pearl❤
Test drove a Camry XSE V6 and a Honda Accord 2.0t Sport. Bought the Accord, even though Toyota had better financing deals going on, the Accord just looks better and frankly the V6 of the Camry wasn't that impressive. Didn't like the look of the front of the Camry. Plus the Camry didn 't have Apple Carplay or Android Auto. Accord 2.0t Sport was $4.5k cheaper.
I test drove both today. The Accord was much better in terms of quality, comfort and drivablity. The Camry felt cheap and drove a bit rough by comparison. I too have chosen the Accord.
To be equal with the Camry XSE V6, should be comparing the price of the Accord 2.0T Touring. I like both. I am still trending more towards the Camry. It has apple car play, but not android auto, but I don't need or use either of those functions so no big deal. I like aspects of both, but like the Camry more because I hate the digital tachometer of the Accord and I've owned accords and civics before and always had an issue with my Accords. Nothing major, but nagging things and the Camry has better overall reliability. I like the NA V6 in the Camry. Both cars post same 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times, but the Camry has a softer ride which I like and want. Hondas are usually a little stiffer than the Toyota equivalents. Still shopping between the 2, but still looking more at the Camry.
wrapped leather with cloth, feels very plush, but it does very feel high quality, the leather maybe synthetic not real leather, I do like the combination, I had real leather in my BMW and on very hot days the seats gets really hot, hot enough itll burn you're skin ha!!
Had my 2019 2.0 turbo auto for about a year and I absolutely love the drive and handling of this car. Honda hit the mark with this one. I look forward to driving this car everyday. Be careful or you will get a speeding ticket because this car just begs you to put the peddle down and it will absolutely blow you away.I could continue with other accolades however I think what I’ve said will suffice.
nice review by the way. Loved the door close check, i always do that. One thing i sugges for car reviewers to do is a road noise test, with a db meter, to let reviewers know how the vehicle compares in the class for interior refinement/ isolation- a big decicion maker for some.
Went from a 03 Mazdaspeed protege to a 06 Accord, the switch was weird going from manual to an automatic, BUT, I couldn't be happier. Accords are perfect cars, quick, handles well (not mine, I need struts lol), and have amazing gas mileage. Oh and on top of that, extremely cheap to maintain and reliable. I've had a knock since I bought mine, have went 27k miles in 2 years also haven't had an oil change because most places I go don't wanna be liable for breaking my engine lmao.
I have the 2019 sport 2.0 L, and my owners manual tells me that all external lights are led in the sport and touring trim models. Sounds like you have the ex or lower trim.
Great review! New to your channel and I'm now a subscriber! Great stuff. One thing that this is not the top of the line in the accord lineup. The Touring would be their top of the line offering. This does however have the top of the line motor which is a fantastic engine. I have a 2016 Accord Coupe EX-L V6 and I ABSOLUTELY love it! Just hit 50k miles this weekend. Anyway keep up the amazing work and I'll keep tuning in!
I just got mine in this exact configuration 2 days ago. It is awesome and way better than I deserve. My only real complaint is that I am a little bit of a hard time finding the optimum drivers seat angle. I feel like it could use a couple of more inches on the driver's side. I am sure I will find an adjustment that works. I have a 36 inch inseam and I am used to being in a Suv. Beyond that, I just think this car is ridiculously nice... And fast!
Certainly loving my Accord EX-L 2.0T that I got yesterday. I was surprised that I got this for $2,000 less at Hendrick Honda than the 2.0T Sport that I would’ve been paying at Coral Springs Honda.
I just traded in a 2015 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo for a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 Turbo. The Kia was okay it had all the bells and whistles Panamera roof, treated heated cooled seats, BUT.. The Honda Accord Sport is it better car hands down. The engine is from the Honda Civic Type R VTech with a turbo. All I have to say, THAT is a hell of a combination. By the way soon we going to be able to install some really neat mods on these cars..NICE.!!
Lizner09 agree as well as no HUD display no cold air vented seats, no wireless charger, rear view mirror is same as on LX model (cheap) and less controls on steering wheel and no source it’s back button and maybe I missed few but from major that’s about it.
You still get the sunroof on the sport 2.0, but with the touring don't forget the 10 speakers with a subwoofer, some LED upgrades, all leather interior, heated seats front and rear, and heated steering wheel. The interior of the sport 2.0t is really really nice though, one I rather have. Its a $6k upgrade from the sport bringing the msrp close to 36k. If those features are important to you, I say go for it!!!
Gr8 review👍. The only negative thing is NO HOMELINK. That's a major 4 me, will definitely have to think about trading in my 2016 EX-L V6 WITH HOMELINK for this one!🤔
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall so did you get yours? I just picked up a 20 Touring and love everything about it. I got it in Lunar Silver too and it's amazing.
Great video and an added thumbs up for Texas!! This is the ride I'd pick coming from a 2016 GLI lease due to the lowered costs across payment and insurance. I'm trying to save as much as I can to move out towards Pflugerville/Round Rock/Buda areas! Red Californian coming your way! FOR Y'ALL PISSED OFF TEXANS, I DON'T BLAME YOU! I WON'T CALIFORNIA YOUR TEXAS! I'LL SHOW YOU MY SPRINGFIELD 1911 INSTEAD! :)
What happens if while you're driving 60mph for instance, and you somehow accidentally push the Reverse button? Would there be severe damage to the transmission or is there a fail-safe design? I have a dog who sometimes gets antsy while the car is moving, so I am a little paranoid about the button layout.
Honda makes the world's best engines and they borrowed automatic transmissions from JATCO which made horrible CVT, now Honda is making their own autmatic transmissions which are reportedly better. By the way Toyota owns Aisin which makes the world's best Automatic transmissions.
good review but .. you didn't know u can always turn on Tachometer under settings - vehicle settings to be on all time and look at all the other things too... miles.. MPG... EXT
He never really stomps on it. I drove one of these last night and it really does move. Only issue is it can't gain any traction at a dead stop or even rolling. Maybe different tires would help. It was super fun to drive. $150ish per month from the 1.5 Sport. I would like to find some real life MPG on the 2.0T. I'd fear buying it and being in sport mode getting 5mpg because I like fun mode haha.
If you do the Honda hack on the on 1.5 turbo and get a key fob with the remote start and have Honda program it you can have remote start on the 1.5 turbo as well
Very nice review, Forrest. I bought a 2018 Camry XLE V6 and like it a lot. Am VERY disappointed in the App based Navigation and Entune 3.0 in general. Car runs great, but as a multi-Toyota owner, it's hard to imagine how they put such a CRAP Navigation and app system in such an otherwise nice car. I did take a CR-V for a test drive last fall and of course new Accords were not out at that time. Wish I would have waited a bit to do more of a comparison. Based on your review, the 2.0T looks like a blast to drive. Apparently this model didn't have Navigation or I'm sure you would have mentioned. Didn't look like it showed on display or controls either.
It’s doesn’t have navigation but you have Apple CarPlay and android auto. So, there’s no need for the factory navigation really. Unless you are traveling in a rural area with no cellular signal.
Thanks for this review. I def love your channel and made up my mind what car i finally want. Well, i am stuck on either the 1.5T or the 2.0T but def later 2018 i will be getting this awesome accord. Keep up with the good reviews brother. Really hope your channel grows as strong as Redline Reviews. You and Savagegesse make awesome honest car reviews.
His review of the Mazda 3 greatly influenced my decision to buy one. I knew as much as the salesman going in. He definitely has some of the most thorough reviews.
Is it worth the ~5k price difference between the 1.5 and 2.0 Sport based mainly on engine performance? I am aware 2.0 is based on EX while 1.5 is based on LX feature sets.
Get yourself an Accord Touring man. You get entry level luxury at a more affordable price. Yeah the back doesn't look as nice as the TLX but you could always change it with aftermarket lights or overlays like what I did on my 20 Accord Touring that I just picked up. It looks way better then stock now. I'm light smoking the whole taillights soon after making them all red recently with an small opening for the reverse light. I also added LEDs reverse and turn signals as well.
I'm still not sold on the push button transmission lever. I feel like crumbs or liquids will get on it and make it get stuck or sticky if you know what I mean. What do u guys think?
I see the “Honda sensing logo” on my Tachometer and it’s glowing orange. I press the black and white Honda sensing button on the lower left. At like 5 mins into the video. But when I press that button nothing happens. Help. I want to change my settings
Seems like almost everyone is going to the turbocharged four-cylinder engines these days. Personally, I prefer more displacement and an engine that doesn't have to strain itself to get the HP & torque. One of the main reasons I bought an Accord EX-L V-6 MT coupe last year (please bring back the V-6 and the coupe, Honda!)...
No mention of the noisy interior. But, I agree it handles well but has quite a bit of engine noise. Braking is average for above 30K cost. No high beam LED's. 252 horse power not 278. Nice power but it is not smooth in my opinion. Looks very nice dressed in 19's. Pretty nice interior and high tech safety features. Holds its value better than most. I like it in white.
Just picked my Accord Touring 2.0T last week! I couldn't be happier. The Car handles the road extremely well. Steering is awesome. The new 10 speed transmission is buttery smooth, coupled with a great paddle shifters.
Lastly, the cockpit is loaded with tech. This car will put a smile on your face each time you are behind the wheel.

Agreed, 10-spd Auto 2.0t ftw. BMW makes a straight-6, not a Vee- Configuration. You're Welcome brotha.
It's 5 years, wish to hear your review. Believe me, I'm looking to buy this trim. It's the balance of everything
This car is beautiful. The design grew on me so fast. Hated it at first but friggin love it now. I'm stuck in an Acura lease right now but definitely going to get one of these this winter.
Agreed, I was same way with styling. Now I love it. Interior is good as Acura.
I'm glad I'm not the only who feels this way. LOL
I also disliked it at first when I saw it on the road but once I saw that still night pearl color I was hooked 😍 I just got mine yesterday and love it but still have to run it a bit more to figure out how all the features work
I felt the exact same way! I love the way these accord looks now. Thought it was hideous when it first came out
I'm gonna get me a 2.0t sport with the 6 speed.
I’m watching this as I already put my down payment on 2018 Accord Touring 2.0L with black front grill and lip spoiler in dark blue, it’s coming between Christmas and New Years and I’m so excited as this Accord is heavy on technology as well as awesome looks.
Thank you for this video!
Do u still got it ?...any problems with the drl and the turbo ?
Hey, how is your honda touring 2.0 going so far ?? Any problems ?
The interior shows why actual luxury cars are dying. This Accord looks great enough to pass as one
I just bought one yesterday and I agree. It feels like I'm driving a near luxury car
The Touring is entry-level luxury quality.
If you ever been in a luxury car you would know it's not true.
@@davidsixside769now that’s a lie
lmao.
This combination of power and that auto transmission is so underrated. It really is an amazing car.
Just bought mine last night. I’m freaking obsessed!! Sports mode won me over, the engine starts roaring and you just start flying!
What u think im trying too finance one on this baby is look good 😭💯
I love this car, I have the same one in the video just a 2019 and I gotta say it is fast, will definitely surprise you when you first get behind the wheel.

Love this color with the tint, looks amazing
is this gray or silver?
@@AndyTargaryen silver
This is the car I've been working for the the past months, I'm excited!
did you get it bro?
the front looks so agressive, i LOVE it!
The silver exterior color really glistens under the right lighting!!! The Still Knight color is just extravagant!!!!
Not only is he reviewing the car he’s teaching us how to use sum of the features and how it works
The 2018 Accord is fantastic! Honda has outdone themselves. Makes the 2018 Camry feel boring and outdated.
I have a feeling the Camry will be more reliable long term though, due to the lack of turbos and a more simple transmission :p
Camry IS boring and outdated.

Very good review and I actually just purchased a 2019 Accord 2.0 Sport so I agree with everything you said about this amazing high quality Honda sedan🤙🏽

Great review on a great car. I recently bought a 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring (in Modern Steel), and LOVE it. The engine is smooth, it is plenty powerful when needed (I unintentionally spun the tires pulling out into traffic), the eCVT is smooth and always ready, and this car is quiet. However, I will say that the 47/47/47 mpg rating is not accurate. I got 55.7 mpg city mpg today and average in the HIGH 40s and low 50s when combined. It has so much technology. Everyday I'm learning new things it can do. This is a FANTASTIC car. Great looks (MANY compliments on the color and the car's looks from friends and strangers), superb quality and a quiet and luxurious ride. And it's a FUN car to drive. I may have to add stabilizer to the gas tank since I go so long before filling up.
Future daily ! My 04 Accord still going though haha. Honda just makes quality cars (my opinion)
Rookie To Pro what's a future daily? Couldn't you just say future car? Because it's a Honda accord not a Ferrari so it has to be a daily car
You should get a weekend warrior car too, to add to your stables.
Kidding - I have a 7th gen. Accord as well - it's doing just fine. Basically, I'll want to upgrade before 'I have to'.
Initially it was going to be my project car, everyone has a different reason on why they purchase a car.
Haha I completely understand, tempting to upgrade (even though it's not needed)
I also have a 2004 accord! Lmao been debating for a 2.0t but my 04 3.0 v6 is still going strong with 130k miles
As owner of both the Toyota Camry and the Accord Sport 1.5t, the Camry has a better seating position and less road noise at highway speeds. The Honda is better planted, handles curvy roads with less effort, and I prefer the Accord gadget control setup.
This thing is beautiful, I'm impressed.
When I saw this in black I couldn't take my eyes off it. The only thing I wish it came with a panoramic sunroof and all wheel drive.
Once you go black.........

Just drove it today. The 2.0 has so much acceleration at 1400rpm. its great. turbo does not fall off. drove the 10 speed auto. its kinda nice!!!!
Fun Fact, if you go into the tachometer settings, you can set the car to show the tachometer, AND whatever other setting you want in the middle.

It's just a light in the mirror with beeping if you have your signal on.

Certainly loving my Accord EX-L 2.0T that I got yesterday. I was surprised that I got this for $2,000 less at Hendrick Honda than the 2.0T Sport that I would’ve been paying at Coral Springs Honda.
Nicholas Gauthier what price did they give you if you don’t mind me asking, I’m considering a 2.0T sport at the moment
I have NEVER wanted a Honda before this.
true true dat, unless its an S2k, or an NSX, but those are 🦄 cars
My son bought this. Traded his civic 2021 for it. He wanted the k20 and run from oil dilution. Lol. Ktuner and a few mods he's got a nice ride.

I just traded in a 2015 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo for a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 Turbo. The Kia was okay it had all the bells and whistles Panamera roof, treated heated cooled seats, BUT.. The Honda Accord Sport is it better car hands down. The engine is from the Honda Civic Type R VTech with a turbo. All I have to say, THAT is a hell of a combination.
By the way soon we going to be able to install some really neat mods on these cars..NICE.!!
I had a maxima and decided to get this to save some $ and bro, i love it.
Are you saving a lot on gas? I have a 2017 maxima and debating getting this
Sean Meadows nothing too crazy. Save a good $10-15 a week.
Most Hondas cars look handsome. This new Accord really does look one.
Great review! I love this car 😃
Between this and the Mazda 6 turbo, I don't know what to get. I like them both for different reasons.
The 2.0 adds blind spot monitoring, sunroof, xm Sirus radio, heated front seats a better sound system
Khafre Bevins the sound system is the same I believe (between the sport 1.5 & 2.0)
Is the blind spot monitoring like in 2017 model where you get an image on the screen or is it just a light in the side mirrors?
From all the other reviews I've seen it is just an indicator light.
That's all from a 1.5 trim? What about the 2.0 Touring?
I pick the 2018 acCord 2.0T touring
My brother just brought his home today its a 2018!😁😁 love it!
High beams on the 2.0T Sport are halogen, not LED. Just one thing to edit. Besides, great review!
The high beams are NOT LED on this trim (Sport)
Lizner09 agree as well as no HUD display no cold air vented seats, no wireless charger, rear view mirror is same as on LX model (cheap) and less controls on steering wheel and no source it’s back button and maybe I missed few but from major that’s about it.
Lizner09 what other options you get on touring...price difference??
I believe things like front/rear parking sensors, sunroof, different design 19" wheels and some other niceties with a price difference of roughly $10K
You still get the sunroof on the sport 2.0, but with the touring don't forget the 10 speakers with a subwoofer, some LED upgrades, all leather interior, heated seats front and rear, and heated steering wheel. The interior of the sport 2.0t is really really nice though, one I rather have. Its a $6k upgrade from the sport bringing the msrp close to 36k. If those features are important to you, I say go for it!!!
Non 2.0 model shouldn’t get LED DRLs
Hondas version of the mighty RS7! Fuckin awesome tho! Those wheels are hella RS7!
oh yeah good point !!
Gr8 review👍. The only negative thing is NO HOMELINK. That's a major 4 me, will definitely have to think about trading in my 2016 EX-L V6 WITH HOMELINK for this one!🤔
That’s on the Touring
I bought this car I love it
Awesome review bro! Now just gotta budget for it
The spedometer is not digital, it’s still analog. Just very very well integrated to match the rest of the gauges
The first car I bought was a Honda Accord. My Altima is okay, but I really want this new Accord. I’m also debating the Optima too
The 2021 Optima is coming :0
Just bought a 19!
Enrique Godinez the hardest choice for me is the color! Lol I cant wait to get mines next March lol
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall so did you get yours? I just picked up a 20 Touring and love everything about it. I got it in Lunar Silver too and it's amazing.
No gear lever... Finally! Great road review as well!
Great video and an added thumbs up for Texas!!
This is the ride I'd pick coming from a 2016 GLI lease due to the lowered costs across payment and insurance. I'm trying to save as much as I can to move out towards Pflugerville/Round Rock/Buda areas! Red Californian coming your way!
FOR Y'ALL PISSED OFF TEXANS, I DON'T BLAME YOU! I WON'T CALIFORNIA YOUR TEXAS! I'LL SHOW YOU MY SPRINGFIELD 1911 INSTEAD! :)
Very good presentation. In my country just start sale this week. but, No 2.0T sold here.
Awesome review. Very detailed. Love it.
this is going to be one of my next cars
This review is very good!
These turbos have a problem with gas mixing into the oil. Eventually it ruins the engine
Really!!!??? Is it a pcv issue??
What happens if while you're driving 60mph for instance, and you somehow accidentally push the Reverse button? Would there be severe damage to the transmission or is there a fail-safe design? I have a dog who sometimes gets antsy while the car is moving, so I am a little paranoid about the button layout.
You mentioned Honda is now making both the transmission and engine.
Who was previously manufacturing both, or either?
Jason99942 JATCO makes the CVT, Honda makes most of their transmissions.
Honda makes the world's best engines and they borrowed automatic transmissions from JATCO which made horrible CVT, now Honda is making their own autmatic transmissions which are reportedly better. By the way Toyota owns Aisin which makes the world's best Automatic transmissions.
I love it oo I have the sport with the 1.5 and cvt in still night pearl and it is stunning
All you guy's that never drove the New accord 2.0turbo auto! The turbo only works when you turn On the Sport Mode...
Big Time No. That's not true. In a turbo charged car, not using the exhaust gasses from the turbo is way less efficient at generating power
Véhicule surprenant tres satisfait sur toute la ligne performance tenu de route j'ai attendu 3 mois pour le 2.0 Lt et ça vaut la peine.
good review but .. you didn't know u can always turn on Tachometer under settings - vehicle settings to be on all time and look at all the other things too... miles.. MPG... EXT
He never really stomps on it. I drove one of these last night and it really does move. Only issue is it can't gain any traction at a dead stop or even rolling. Maybe different tires would help. It was super fun to drive. $150ish per month from the 1.5 Sport. I would like to find some real life MPG on the 2.0T. I'd fear buying it and being in sport mode getting 5mpg because I like fun mode haha.
I just bought the 2019 sport 2.0turbo and in town city driving in California. I am getting 14 miles to the gallon in eco mode
If you do the Honda hack on the on 1.5 turbo and get a key fob with the remote start and have Honda program it you can have remote start on the 1.5 turbo as well
This car with 300-350hp AWD and 10speedauto dreamcar
MICKY MOUSE Audi RS3?
Very nice review, Forrest. I bought a 2018 Camry XLE V6 and like it a lot. Am VERY disappointed in the App based Navigation and Entune 3.0 in general. Car runs great, but as a multi-Toyota owner, it's hard to imagine how they put such a CRAP Navigation and app system in such an otherwise nice car.
I did take a CR-V for a test drive last fall and of course new Accords were not out at that time. Wish I would have waited a bit to do more of a comparison. Based on your review, the 2.0T looks like a blast to drive. Apparently this model didn't have Navigation or I'm sure you would have mentioned. Didn't look like it showed on display or controls either.
It’s doesn’t have navigation but you have Apple CarPlay and android auto. So, there’s no need for the factory navigation really. Unless you are traveling in a rural area with no cellular signal.
Thanks for this review. I def love your channel and made up my mind what car i finally want. Well, i am stuck on either the 1.5T or the 2.0T but def later 2018 i will be getting this awesome accord. Keep up with the good reviews brother. Really hope your channel grows as strong as Redline Reviews. You and Savagegesse make awesome honest car reviews.
His review of the Mazda 3 greatly influenced my decision to buy one. I knew as much as the salesman going in. He definitely has some of the most thorough reviews.
Nice large trunk, but they don't cover the hinges, which effectively makes it smaller (shorter) than most of the competition.
Nice car! I've only seen about 4 on the road.
What's better, this model or the EX-L? What are the differences? Thanks in advance!
So many ppl copying Alex... " nice solid door feel" lol. And we know how push button starts work too. You need your own gimmick, StraightPipes style.
Is it worth the ~5k price difference between the 1.5 and 2.0 Sport based mainly on engine performance? I am aware 2.0 is based on EX while 1.5 is based on LX feature sets.
Dharmen Samant 1.5 has cvt and 2.0 has the standard transmission. Stay away from cvt and im getting the 2.0.
I love everything about this car except the rear styling. It’s slowly growing on me though. I’m debating on getting the Sport 2.0 or the 2021 TLX.
Get yourself an Accord Touring man. You get entry level luxury at a more affordable price. Yeah the back doesn't look as nice as the TLX but you could always change it with aftermarket lights or overlays like what I did on my 20 Accord Touring that I just picked up. It looks way better then stock now. I'm light smoking the whole taillights soon after making them all red recently with an small opening for the reverse light. I also added LEDs reverse and turn signals as well.
21 Sport 2.0 > 21 TLX any day
It's cheaper and performs better
high-beams aren't LED and the Sport is definitely not the highest trim.
gorgeous car. its sad the accord has better performance now than the TLX, am i right?
If you remote start and open the door, does the engine shutoff?
I'm still not sold on the push button transmission lever. I feel like crumbs or liquids will get on it and make it get stuck or sticky if you know what I mean. What do u guys think?
How good are these smaller turbo engines compared to a naturally aspirated v6 ? I know fuel economy is better ,but what's the longevity of the 2 ?
The k20 is one of the most legendary engines Honda has ever made
I see the “Honda sensing logo” on my Tachometer and it’s glowing orange. I press the black and white Honda sensing button on the lower left. At like 5 mins into the video. But when I press that button nothing happens. Help. I want to change my settings
My pick is the 2018 Camry XSE. The Honda is nice but I can't drive a CVT transmission.
Ricky Rick 2.0 accord is standard transmission
Camry is 8 speed auto both I4 and V6. Accord offers you CVT, 10 speed auto OR slick shifting 6 speed manual.
2.0t comes with automatic
Thanks for the review
Seems like almost everyone is going to the turbocharged four-cylinder engines these days. Personally, I prefer more displacement and an engine that doesn't have to strain itself to get the HP & torque. One of the main reasons I bought an Accord EX-L V-6 MT coupe last year (please bring back the V-6 and the coupe, Honda!)...
Beautiful car, did you get any detailing done such as ppf or ceramic coating?
Traded in my 15 for an 18 last week loving the accord ex
alonzo0910 yo.. hows it holding up? Any issues?
Nice review bro...
No mention of the noisy interior. But, I agree it handles well but has quite a bit of engine noise. Braking is average for above 30K cost. No high beam LED's. 252 horse power not 278. Nice power but it is not smooth in my opinion.
Looks very nice dressed in 19's. Pretty nice interior and high tech safety features. Holds its value better than most. I like it in white.
What are some competitors at this price range
@@t.7527 the usual suspects: camry, mazda 6 and altima
What camera are you using while you are driving the car? I like it!
looks like an audi from the side even the wheels
Audi looks like accord
Nice car but they missed the mark with no USB charges in the back.
It's an added option
it’s standard now on the ‘21
Nice car in have a silver 2015 sport... my next car is going to be a Lexus gs350
The tail light RUINS everything. Sport model gets Yellow Halogen High Beam. Wtf???
