Mine is a base '14 6 speed manual! 125,000 miles. One set of tires, front brakes, a sun visor and scheduled maintenance. Perhaps twice I got under 30 mpg, and that was sub zero (- 18 C.) winter. Over 40 mpg when speed limits are 55.
Thanks again Dave! I subscribed and have been watching your videos. Your positive attitude is refreshing after watching many other reviewers who love to complain about 4 cylinder engines. If someone wants to buy a high performance car for drag racing, there are plenty to choose from, the family sedans are for something else. We recently purchased a 2016 Camry LE for our daughter and it is a wonderful car. The 2.5L zips right up on the highway, purrs quietly and has plenty left for passing. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching more.
Also just got the EXL v6 and love it, kicks it at over 280 HP but can back off too with the Eco button for mileage improvement. Its so much bang for the buck!
I love the middle tech package. The audio settings are convenient. I feel like I am driving a luxury car. I picked this over the toyota Camry and Vw passat diesel. Nissan Altima was too expensive.
Dave you love this car. You have reviewed it 3 times in the last 6 months. I can understand why. It's a good car. I almost bought one myself but I couldn't move the seat far enough back. I'm 6'4 and I need another inch or two. My knee was at the wrong angle and would cramp up on a long road trip.
@Ivan Vojt - During the Cargo Room section of the review (5:23 into the video) you can see that it's one seat. But for those that didn't watch, yes, the back seat doesn't split - Dave
The only major downside I had with car is that whenever I have both of my backseat windows down while driving at 35+ mph the glass starts to vibrate and in turn it causes loud ringing sounds
I am looking at the same car since I do not need the navigation. Your thoughts please so far? (I had a 1986 Accord LX and it still is the BEST car that I have ever owned and I had it for 10 years. My current car is a 1998 Camry and it has been a fine car for 16+ years but not as great as the Accord.)
eric golden I hope you are as happy with this car, Eric, as my neighbor two doors down is with hers. Dave from Everyman Driver loves the car overall but HATES the middle instrument panel with the two screens and two sections. He says that there is too much confusing info to deal with and that he wishes that this would reduced to just three sections. Do you agree or disagree with him? And since I live in New Mexico, Honda is only offering that .09% financing for the Accord LXs and not the EX-Ls which is too bad.
eric golden Good to hear, Eric, and thanks for the reply. Did you also take a look at the new Civic EX-L?? It is smaller and has less power than the Accord but it is also cheaper. Since I will be a solo driver in my new car, I wonder if the Accord will be an overkill for me? But I wonder if the Accord will be more comfortable on the long road trips that I sometimes take. Anyhow, your comments are welcome.
I have 10500 miles on my 2013 accord, Great car way better than the model it replaced, it will do 37.1 mpg hwy on a hot day using premium shell.Not one problem so far, just solid car.
@StereOguy, remember, I don't pick the cars that are delivered to me. I can request 'em but ultimately I'm just the guy doing the reviews. I AM working on adding more variety to my inventory - Dave
Love this car. I have the same model however I don't think the navigation is worth the extra 2k. After 2months with the car I find the center stack to be great - I guess it all comes down to preference. The touch controls control the audio and phone and beneath it is the AC, push the button and done. I think if they consolidated it, it would be too cluttered similar to the 2012 models and before.
@hectorr123M, I would LOVE to review Toyotas but they're not a member of my main Fleet Services suppliers BUT I am working on bringing more variety to my inventory. Please stay tuned, I'm doing the best I can - Dave
the lx models get better fabrics and the auto dimming mirror is upgraded on the higher models. the dual exhausts on v6 models get an upgraded look as well. aside from that, no real changes.
I have had one of these for a little over a week as a service loaner and I find it to be incredibly uncomfortable and bland. The steering and suspension are quite responsive and the motor is torquey but the cvt is unpredictable and makes for a guessing game while accelerating to pass. B+ at best.
I bought mine 2 months ago. The wind noise coming trough both doors (over 50 m/h) is so annoying. I went back to the dealership and they let me drive couple of accord 2014 sport, and all have the noise. You may need to give it thought before you purchase.
I think that most (if not all) of the cars in this class from ALL brands have this noise issue but I do not find it as "annoying" as you. I have a 1998 Camry and have more interior noise at highway speeds than at lower speeds. My brother bought an Accord and I will ask him for his opinion on this issue that you are addressing and then get back to you.
Doug Celeste Thank you for your reply Doug. I've had many cars before this, and you know what Honda dealership told me when I asked them about this issue? they said: "We have had many many complains from customers about this wind-noise issue for this very model, and Honda has not come up with a fix yet, maybe they will". And they were hoping that Honda will fix this issue which happened since 2013 model. I actually am not that picky about noises, but this one is really something to put under consideration.
Ali Pordeli The wind and engine noises sound very minimal in the 2013-2015 Accord models compared to 2009 accord model. I don't find it annoying at all. What I do find annoying is that the new speaker's sound quality sucks. They aren't as powerful as the 2008-2012 models.
Dave- Can you request a Mercedes CLA to test drive? I'm really interested to see what an "everyman driver" thinks of the new, smaller Mercedes. Great job with the '14 Accord.
Reply: No flip flops, gasoline type and shorter video length. Q: What are three suggestions made by Everyman Driver viewers that we applied in this video review :-) - Dave
Ha.. well I should probably let my wife tell you ;) I have not had much time with it yet, but I'm impressed. Car feels very solid, smooth and composed. The build of the car seems very good too. The steering feels nice and precise but very different than what I'm used to. This is my first Honda in about 15 years. I drive a Subaru STi so the Accord is a little different. I still think this has to be one of the best family sedans period. The Sonata and Fusion were out as soon as we tried the Honda.
@senorgato70, I'm sorry but too many people were confused by the ownership scale, even after I explained it so I am saying goodbye to that grading system - Dave
Re the Honda Accord 2013: It says in my manual on page 298: "Files on USB flash drive are played in their stored order. This order may be different from the order displayed on your PC or device." On Page 285, the "Music Search List" should be called "Music Browse List". Honda has no plans to update the software so USB music can be searched. The system is almost useless (my files only show album title in browse list) and dangerous.
One thing I've noticed about the 2013 and 2014 Accords is that the front passenger leg room is significantly smaller. I'm 6-foot tall and my legs are bent at a 45 degree angle when the passenger seat is all the way back. My 2003 honda accord model has much more leg room. Why????? This is keeping us from buying a new accord.
The 2013 model decreased in interior passenger volume from 106 ft3 to 103 ft3 due to a decrease in length. The 2008-12 generation was actually considered full-size car by the EPA instead of a midsize. Now, it's down to midsize. Not sure why your 2003 was bigger because it had the same volume as the current one. Maybe because the trunk was smaller at 14 ft3 (later became 15-16) , which allowed for a little leg room in the passenger area?
I've the superman placement this time. I gotta go with the sport model with the accord. The wheels are much better and gotta go with the 6 spd manual too
My family is looking for a car that is good on gas, so we were thinking to get the Honda Accord Hybrid, but it seems that the Camry is better.... Which to choose?
I need your honest opinion. So my dad is going to buy a honda accord the problem is whether he should get the 4cylinder or the V6. What would you equip the honda with a 4cylinder or v6
I've been thinking about this 2014 accord. Been seeing one for sale with low miles. But, I've heard the 2.4 literally 4 cylinder engine has issues with gasoline dilution in the oil and oil burning issues. Is this a common problem?
Im 6 foot 8 will this fit me (drivers seat)? i have a car with 51 inches of legroom ( front) and it still seems like i need more room but i dont know any car that offers more
Hello everyone, My brother likes the new accord coupe but would also like to know what he would achieve city/hwy mpg.'s (real world average driving). I live in the Greater New England Area, Can anyone Help me and my little brother?? Also, I am slightly curious about the mpg.'s in the Accord Hybrid?

Those calves though...

Everyman Driver For real. Keep it up! xD
Jasmine S. Need some work on those biceps and chest
your review is ON POINT!
needed old info and this was presented very well .
one of the best cars in the world
Thanks, I just bought a new Honda Accord Ex, this video confirmed our good choice in vehicle.

I love the middle tech package. The audio settings are convenient. I feel like I am driving a luxury car. I picked this over the toyota Camry and Vw passat diesel. Nissan Altima was too expensive.
I got a 98 lx 5 speed manual. Still going strong. Gonna be upgrading to this soon and give the old one to my nephew. Great review dave.
Picking one up next week
Working on it, thank you - Dave
Hey Dave, great review as always! but anything different or new on this 2014 from the last year (2013)
Dave you love this car. You have reviewed it 3 times in the last 6 months. I can understand why. It's a good car. I almost bought one myself but I couldn't move the seat far enough back. I'm 6'4 and I need another inch or two. My knee was at the wrong angle and would cramp up on a long road trip.

Well done. This will help in my ongoing search for a family sedan. Many thanks
The camera on the mirrors is really cool lol
I just bought the this car, and I'm really happy with it,,, I think spend more gas then what they say. but besides that, it is amazing car.
you're very professional on your review and you got down to what I really needed to know... I'm purchasing the exact same car in black on Saturday!:)
The only major downside I had with car is that whenever I have both of my backseat windows down while driving at 35+ mph the glass starts to vibrate and in turn it causes loud ringing sounds
I bought this car today. Accord Ex L but no navigation.

eric golden Good to hear, Eric, and thanks for the reply. Did you also take a look at the new Civic EX-L?? It is smaller and has less power than the Accord but it is also cheaper. Since I will be a solo driver in my new car, I wonder if the Accord will be an overkill for me? But I wonder if the Accord will be more comfortable on the long road trips that I sometimes take. Anyhow, your comments are welcome.
I hope i get this car in the future :)
Someone doesn't skip leg day
people commenting on the guys calves more than the car.. am dead 😭
Keep up the good work Dave, I know you can only review what they give you.
I personally find this the best booking center stack on any car...excluding the luxury class

honda > toyota
Excellent review as always, Thanks Dave. Honda accord looks amazing.
What does Earth dream engine means, that makes it special? Or is it just a fancy name by Honda
Great review and an even better car. Though I'm a horsepower hellion, I have placed this car near the top of my shortlist of prospective sedans.

Nice legs, how can i get same calves, sir?

Everyman Driver Cycling? Cyclists have skinny calves and legs, just like marathon runners.
Thanks for an excellent review of an excellent car! You rock!
Shit I will never miss a leg day again😩
Thank you for mentioning what kind of gas the vehicle use.
Man this car is sweet, I wish I could afford one :(
Good Cosmetic review , but u didnt mention any thing on the driver armrest storage
Very nice review, Dave.
There WERE no changes to the EX-L model. I've already addressed the new changes in a previous comment - Dave
Nice review, Dave.
Would it be possible for you to do a review on the 2013 Dodge Charger V6 ? Thanks
Whats with the Superman action figure?

Good review, mah dude lookin like scott summers though
I just bought the EX-L V6 and it's great.
I've the superman placement this time. I gotta go with the sport model with the accord. The wheels are much better and gotta go with the 6 spd manual too
You should mention the back seat doesn't have a split fold. I'd pass on the NAV. Even the cloth is nice as well.
Love accords!
My family is looking for a car that is good on gas, so we were thinking to get the Honda Accord Hybrid, but it seems that the Camry is better.... Which to choose?
Why can't they offer the v6 in the lx trim? Are they afraid the fuel economy would be to close to the 4 cylinder?
Hi, It Couldn't Be Better! look cattle What's your opinion about it
Love the blue
Picked up a 2014 EX-L this evening ;)
can you do a review of the normal Honda Accord?
I need your honest opinion. So my dad is going to buy a honda accord the problem is whether he should get the 4cylinder or the V6. What would you equip the honda with a 4cylinder or v6
Una de mi marca favorita sin duda una de las mejores..te amo honda😘😚😉
i still want the growl of the v6
it is really cool i got the black one youu can put a dvd player in the car and one more thing it has games
These aren't iPads. Expensive tooling necessitates multi-year models.
Dave I'd love to know where is the little bit of Salsa music you play at 2:34 is from
I would have liked to have seen a six speed automatic transmission instead of the CVT.
I've been thinking about this 2014 accord. Been seeing one for sale with low miles. But, I've heard the 2.4 literally 4 cylinder engine has issues with gasoline dilution in the oil and oil burning issues. Is this a common problem?
the only problem with honda and acura to me is the interiors are too plasticy and the sounds in the cabin [chimes] sound cheap
Dave is back at it with the calves
Why you don't review Toyotas? ... I was just wondering... You should review the Camry, the new corolla or the new RAV4
Whats confusing about the car???
Love the final touch :-)
Im 6 foot 8 will this fit me (drivers seat)? i have a car with 51 inches of legroom ( front) and it still seems like i need more room but i dont know any car that offers more
Witch is better? Honda or Nissan?
Damn. I'm going to cut off the leg room in the back. I'm basically 6'2" (6'1.75") and I'll have to move that driver seat back just to be comfortable.
Hello everyone, My brother likes the new accord coupe but would also like to know what he would achieve city/hwy mpg.'s (real world average driving). I live in the Greater New England Area, Can anyone Help me and my little brother?? Also, I am slightly curious about the mpg.'s in the Accord Hybrid?
2012 accord vs 2013 camery....which should I buy?
i prefer hondas over toyotas because hondas usually have more features and i loved the drive on the 08 accord which is the same generation as 2012
i dont think he skips calf day
I have a 2013 EX-L and it appears there is no difference.
