      They do for sure. The round ones used for older cars like my Nissan Maxima 2000 had round fog lights. Idk I like both. The round fog light looks pretty nice in person maybe becuase there is more gloss black in the bottom

    The only "improvements" over my 2020 Sport that I can really see is the auto start/stop for the engine. That would be nice. And the extra USB ports. Other than that, I like the front of my '20 over the '21. Round fog lamps are not aggressive compared to the old ones. I do like the all LED headlamps though. But, I don't use the bright lights on my Honda anyway. I do all city driving. Not too many country roads in my future. My car is black, so the black accents for the mirrors, shark fin, and spoiler don't matter to me, but I prefer the body matched items on the '20 over the black ones on the '21. To me, that's just a cheap way to save a few bucks. With all those items being black no matter what the body color is, it makes it cheaper to produce those items. It's still a great looking car, and it's design is why I drive an Accord over a Camry or Malibu.

    Omg...Executive Honda is where I bought my 2018 Honda Touring and just recently my 2021 Honda Touring. They are the best dealership ❤❤❤ ...The only thing I don't care for in the 2021 Honda is the loud ding sound for the seatbelts and I'm still getting used to the buttons instead of the shift gear handle. The 2021 suspension and shocks seem better than the 2018 as my car hits potholes and defects in the road more smoothly. The 2018 has quick speed pickup, but the 2021 seems to beat that quickness by a couple more seconds. Overall, they feel and look like the same car. I didn't even notice the fog light change until I watched comparison videos on RUclips. ☺ But you can't go wrong with getting either the 2018-2020 lineup or the newer 2021. Both are solid choices.

      Congrats :) actually I leased my dad’s civic from there hahha. I got my accord from Westport Honda. I got my 2018 sport 2.0t in red for 28k sticker 31 and some change. I went to few dealerships around and they couldn’t get down so I kept looking and Westport they were able to get me the price I wanted. They were happy and I was happy :) I do agree not everyone will like the black mirrors. They are only on the sport to make sportier. I ended wrapping my mirrors on my red accord and I love them. If you go through my channel you will see my car in there.

    as far as MPG, I average 40mpg per tank in the 2020 1.5L LX, driving 80% highway. Pretty great. But if you're looking at LX, definitely be aware that the seat is terrible (I'm 5'9, 170lbs), so pay attention to the seat during a decent test drive and then try out the other trims. Some buzzes here and there in the interior is annoying, but the car handles so much better than the last gen and the interior is simple and clean. Power is adequate enough.

Chime is not as good I was disappointed and something I forgot to mention in the video. The leather on my 2018-2020 feels much much better. It feels higher quality the 2021 feels like it’s fake and not smooth leather. It feels dry for some reason.

    I have to agree about the fog lights, the rectangular type match the headlights better..I think in their attempt to make the front end look more aggressive they cut corners by copying the Civic setup in the front using round fog lights instead. Problem is the Civic doesnt have such a wide face as the Accord and has more aerodynamics and larger/more vents making the round lights match better - on the Accord it's front width calls for wider lights. And they bombed in my opinion with that black chrome line accent going across the bottom half of the grille. Maybe for the Touring it works or EX/EX-L models but not on the sport.

    Thanks for taking your time showing is the differences and it really helps when it's coming from an actually Accord driver vs a sales person that drives a Toyota.
    No one asked for more chrome but yet Honda added some more in the front smh. We don't know exactly what Honda did with the headlights. I don't think they are darker in anyway. You need to compare the 21s to the 20 Touring with the full LED lights to see if they are the same. They're not blacked out by any means tho. The new chime is ugly. The auto stop is annoying if anything. I would hate to always have to turn it off if I had a 21 but I know the 2.0Ts for 21 doesn't have it tho, just the 1.5Ts and maybe the hybrids? The fog lights are subjective imo. I like them both but 20s are a little better. The taillights are the only disappointed thing about the Accord but why there are so many options out there now like overlays or aftermarket lights. A $20 overlay will make them look way better then stock so.
    I didn't like the changes to the 21s overall so I ended up picking a 20 Accord Touring recently. Saved a lot money and didn't really lose much on the changes. I had an 18 Accord Sports prior to this so I know my the Accord really well. I did several mods for it like putting in aftermarket taillights. There is a rumor tho that Honda might allow wireless AA and Carplay with a software update but it will cost money if they do. No free upgrade of course cause that's just how it is.

    • @Iegend17
      @Iegend17  3 года назад +2

      Hahaha sales person that drives Toyota that was funny. Anyways to answer your question the hybrid 2021 doesn’t have engine shut off. I drove one and I actually uploaded a video today of the POV drive. For the headlights Honda said they fixed the glare becuase they used to blind on the 2018-2020 but they don’t mention anything about them being blacked out. But they do look darker for sure. I have seen so many tourings on videos and person and they arent dark as the 21 but I have to put them both next to each to confirm. Sadly the dealership didn’t have 20 touring which I thought was crazy lol. Btw how do u like the touring? Is the suspension comfortable

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone 3 года назад +1

      @@Iegend17 well I have seen a lot of those 21s in person cause I just happen to be at the dealership a lot recently due to buying accessories for my new car. The headlights looks physically the same to me and I won't be surprised since they didn't do nothing to the taillights either 😁. I think if anything they might of made it the LED brighter or place 2 or more lights in there vs 1 in the prior models. Yeah believe it or not the 18-20s only had 1 LED bulb shining horizontally. Honda might of changed the direction of where the light is pointing at too like more road vs up in the air for better visibility.
      Yeah most of the 20s Touring and Sports 2.0Ts are probably gone from the dealerships since people know they could get a really good deal on them right now. Let's just say that I got a free upgrade to the Touring model vs the Sports 2.0T MSRP.
      My Touring has been awesome man. I could tell the ride is nicer then my old 18 Sports, it's not as harsh. I do plan on lowering it a bit with some Eibach or H&R springs. Nothing too crazy as I still want to keep the active dampers. Still breaking in my engine right now so I really can't have too much fun ☺️. Putting the car in Sports mode does change the ride firmness as well which I like. This is similar to what I had on my older MDX so I'm kinda use to it.

    • @volcalstone
