@@jrmorales822 I've been a Honda owner since '86. I would not hesitate buying a well maintained Honda with that mileage. I usually keep mine for 200-250k miles. I only sell them because I'm ready for a new one. They are well made vehicles.
Dayum, where you been driving? I have a 2013 Honda Accord Ex sedan 121,000k 4cyl cvt and no problems!! Love my Honda but im ready to get a 2018-2020 Honda Accord 2.0t touring 😍😍😍
I owned a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L for 4 years. I shipped my car from Hawaii and drove through all the lower 48 states and almost comfortable to sleep in and carrying lots of stuff. Biggest problem I had was the battery drains a lot and I always needed a battery starter. It was a great car.
Review was pretty spot on. I have a 2014 Accord Sport and I absolutely love it. It’s a great car. Like you said, it’s not the fastest but it’s solid is just about every area. Very handsome, efficient, and reliable vehicle. It drives very nice, handles well, and thankfully I haven’t had many issues with it.
I got a blue k24 coupe mine is prob pushing about 200hp give or take, aftermarket exhaust and intake + sport mode really bring it to life but def isn't the fastest, mainly sounds cool and is fun to drive
You hit the nail on the head. I’m a recent college grad and I love luxury and sports cars as much as the next guy but I need to find something that will last me within my budget. It makes it even better that your pretty local for me, so push come to shove I could head to these dealerships with complete insight on the car.
I own a 2013 EX I bought new - I love it. 113k miles, consistently getting around 30 mpg mixed driving, 36 mpg+ on highway. The only repair has been a rear wheel bearing. I would prefer a "normal" transmission, but in all, it is a great car!

My 2008 Accord EX with 260k miles is running well still but not like I remember off the lot. Kept up the maintenance and overall I’ve had just minor oil leaks, starter replaced, rebuilt PS pump myself, and minor aesthetic interior things. Best value and reliability.
My 2014 with 250k miles approx.. had to do bushings, left wheel hub and regular oil changes & tyres ofc.. still drives new & excellent gas mileage easily 450+miles. Just do the regular maintenance n it wont let you down..
I have a 2013 accord exl bought used in July 2016 with 39k miles. It now has 389500 miles. Only issue gas been needing another alternator. Still getting over 33mpg on the highway. Love the car.
I have a 2013 accord lx with 239k, it has an issue when the ac is on, it puts a load on the engine. When it’s off it runs normal. Not sure what’s wrong
Bought a 2016 EX-L V6 brand new in April 2016. I'm at 99k miles and I still love it. I've kept up with all the factory recommended service, and already did the 105k service ($$$). It had a leaky oil pump, which was covered by an extended warranty, and got new headlights under factory warranty, but otherwise still perfect. I drive relatively hard, and still average over 27mpg combined, and over 35mpg when highway driving.. Still live this car, and looks sharp
Coming from a 2008 Accord it’s a night and day difference when comparing to my 2015. The first thing I noticed with the 15 was the solid feel of the car. It has like a heavy(not in bad way) feeling that you would feel in a German car, where as the 08 felt kind of loose and vibrates at high speed just not built as sturdy and after 110k miles on the 2015 it still feels as solid. If there’s one thing I regret it’s getting the cvt however you’re right about the gas mileage. I’ve only replaced one part on my newer accord called the tensioner pulley which is nutritious for a bearing going bad at 100k. It was 100$ fix and back to perfect. Also the tech in the higher trims is amazing. I love my keyless entry moonroof and lane camera .very nice review bud keep it up👍🏻
Just bought a 2014 Accord Sport as my daily. Crashed my Acura TL and got it totaled. So picked up this accord now and honestly love the car. Didn’t expect it to be as nice as it is. For a daily it’s perfect. Couldn’t really drive my C7 corvette around as a daily for commuting to work due to the gas alone being insane and uncomfortable. Appreciate what Honda offers!
I have a 2015 EX-L with 120k that we bought as certified preowned w 38k on it and other than routine maintenance all we have done is replace the starter. I am not a huge CVT fan at all, but this one is OK. It is a little draggy sometimes but such as it is with a CVT. As long as you do the fluid drain and refill every 30k or so (easy to do in your own garage) it should never give any trouble. At least that has been my experience. It gets CRAZY good gas mileage. Regularly over 30mpg...I never get less than 500 miles out of a tank. It's like you say, just good no nonsense daily transportation. I'll keep mine as long as it will go. I am hoping for 300k. Good honest review here!
Accords are bumpy but they will last a long time. Mine was a little over 200k in ten years before I sold it. It was running as a champ. If you are under budget, Accord is the best vehicle you can get. It's a reliable vehicle!
I drove a 2002 EX sedan for years and bought a newer 2013 EX sedan back in 2017 and gave my daughter the 2002. Sold the 02 early last year and replaced it with another 2013 EX sedan. My daughter and I both love our newer models but I seriously miss the 02. It had 194k miles and needed a lot of work (rack and pinion, catalytic converter, was leaking oil and needed new left upper control arm). I agree that it drove better than the newer models. Seriously regret selling that car. I still see it on the road from.time to time. The new owner is a mechanic and lives close. Apparently he loves it as much as I did.
I own a 2015 Accord Sedan Sport. Big upgrade on handing, comfort and noise when I replaced the Goodyear Eagle's that came with the vehicle with Continental PureContact LS tires (235/45R18). Great Video! Thanks!
I got new goodyear eagles on mine at around 60k. They were super quiet and smooth when i first got them. They started getting noisy after about 5k miles. I thought it was a bad wheel bearing.
@@Striker50_ excessive vibration (even more than what these 4cylinders normally give off), cam chain tensioner needing replacement due to a loud rattle cold start, blend door actuator giving out causing center vents to blow warmer air, ongoing alignment issues for the wheels, a/c fan not kicking in during the hot Texas summers...these are just a handful of issues I’ve come across.
@@jmc224 Sounds like a lemon or something Got 122k on my 2013, just had a starter, wheel bearing, tensioner pulley, and cam sensor considering I used it for Ride share so a ton of stop and go but it's running strong after each repair and super easy to work on
I currently drive a 2011 EX-L V6 and I love it!! It's very sporty and fast lol ...Recently driven my friend's 2015 Accord EX (4 cyl.) and I was surprised at how smooth it drove.
I’m gonna have to say the excessive tire noise is because of those good year tires that’s on the car right now. There’s a huge difference if you swap for some continentals or Michelin’s I currently swapped to good year Eagle LS2 from Michelin’s primacy MXM4(factory wheels) while the mechanical grip is better, the highway tire noise is borderline unbearable
Yes definitely tires make a big difference Continentals are very quiet and offer a lot of grip all year round depending on which model you get. What year Honda do you have?
I would agree, Michelin seems to be excellent. I have a 2017 CR-V and just swapped out the junky, OEM Hankook tires Honda puts on that model by default for a new set of Michelin Defenders. It's made a big difference - ride quality is improved, cabin noise while in motion is reduced, and even the steering is more fluid. I would absolutely recommend if the driver can take the ~$1,000 hit. The CR-V rides like it was truly meant to now.
My michillens on my 13 accord aren't much louder than the new 22 hyundai I just bought. It's still an amazing car. With good tires, it has fantastic cornering for a family car that offers the most space for mid size sedans of this year.
@@securipro8641 I have a set of Michelin CrossClimate2’s on my ‘17 Civic EX. Much quieter than the Hankook tires that came from the factory. The Michelin’s have more of a humming sound at highway speeds, and it’s tracking pattern does great in the snow. A little sacrifice on mpg, but worth it for safety during winter conditions. 😊
I currently own a 2014 Honda Accord Sport model with CVT transmission and 18 inch wheels. Excellent car, no repairs, just normal maintenance at 62k miles. I keep hearing bad stories about CVT transmissions, but so far this one has been perfect!
i got the same model and year like yours. Dont worry about the cvt transmission. if you have a nissan then worry.lol I'm at 195k miles and I got it at 27k. Same engine and transmission. Just follow the maintenance minders and you'll be fine.
I can confirm this Accord does have a lot of road noise. I have a 2019 Hyundai Elantra and lemme tell you, the Elantra is a quiet car. We have a 2014 Accord in the family and it is definitely more noisy than the Hyundai. Still, the Accord is a great car and that's why we keep it!
I totaly agree. Most reviews should be cars that the average person of average income can afford. That's the reason I don't bother with car reviews. Don't want to waste a click.
My 2013 EXL has a lot of issues. I’ve probably dealt with more issues with this model than I did with my 2005 PT Cruiser (at the time of ownership that is). My Cruiser lasted for about 10 years before it caught on fire on me. The Accord on the other hand, shows more issues at 8 years old. I’ll give it that the 4 cylinder Hondas have had issues with the idle vibrations, but my specific Accord seems to be using one of those new hand held massagers under the hood. I’ve tried everything to see what may be causing such vibrations, but nothing seems to help. Valve cover gasket leaks crazy oil. Cam chain tensioner is gone to shit as it always gives off a rattle noise when cold starting first thing in the morning. Suspension suck and I didn’t know it was that bad until I rode in the back with my toddler, while my wife drove. Poor wifey was riding bumpy from Houston to Dallas for two years back there. The dual radiator and AC fans are OK. The AC fan does have a mind of it’s own as it just quits in the middle of 100 plus degree weather here in TX. Blend door actuator has burnt out and makes a clicking noise under the center console. Center vents blow warm air unless you got that temp set to the lowest possible with AC. I could go on. This car is easy enough to work on, however. If it weren’t for that, I probably would have spent thousands at the shop or dealership. Everything listed above was repaired by yours truly; well, almost everything. One upgrade I would definitely recommend is changing the battery to a bigger one. The slim one that comes with it, suuuuuuuucks.
How about engine and transmission mounts did you tried those? My 2014 EXL V6 was doing the same thing there are a total of 5 mounts in between transmission and engine.
@@diego0o7 I was looking at doing those as well. But with the car being paid off, having accrued about 140k miles on the car, and looking into buying a new car as our family is expanding…I decided not to put any additional money into the car.
Couple easy additions: add a progress sway bar, will completely flatten the car's response in turns, as the stock bar is tiny; add sound deadening treatment to the doors, trunk, and floorpan, that will cut road noise down massively. For the V6 sedan specifically: add the MDX spacer as it will increase low to mid range torque significantly (does not add peak HP) which add substantial enjoyment in day to day driving since an auto transmission always wants to shift to lower rpm's for fuel economy purposes.
Thank You! Yes a review for us common folk! ( ha ) I had a 2015 Honda Accord Touring. I so miss that car. I traded it at 40,000 miles. It was perfect! Only ding I would give it was that it was not good in the snow here in Minnesota. I now drive an Acura RDX
My Dad has a 2013 Accord LX 75k miles no problems most he had was a new starter at like 50k miles other than that regular oil changes and stuff like that and I personally like the 9th generation accord especially 2016-2017 better than the 10th generation accord.
Very nice yea that's a good year I would love to hear your thoughts if you drove a 2013 and up when they made the changes to see if it is for the better or for worse
1. Don't bother putting a quieter tire on the Accord. It will still be a noisy car. Been there, done that with Goodyear Assurance Comfortred. Quiet cars are born, not made. 2. On the other hand, I put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my 2010 Accord, and the handling became unbelievably good, as good as a BMW 440i or a Genesis G70 through tight turns. Good tires will turn a wallowing family sedan into an excellent-handling sports sedan.
Good years are trash for the most part a set of Continental Extreme Contacts would be much much quiter with plenty of grip but you're right, a truly quiet car is made but tires can certainly help a bit
I have 2014 EXL with 75000 miles one year owned so far. I bought it certified used at the time 39000 miles still have factory warranty until 100000. Love it so far. Will probably up grade in a few years to a 2020. V6 next time though.
This review is what it is, I'll give it that. Apologies, I couldn't resist - I jest. This is a good review and a great, practical look at a practical bread and butter car.
My 2013 Honda Accord has 145k miles it has a sistem too lean check engine lights which is been a headache for long time because no mechanic has found the real source of the problem. Don’t know what to do I have to do the inspection but it doesn’t want to get ready every time I go to the freeways to run it.
I also have been itching to drive a new accord (10th gen). I know I was upset when they first switched to McPherson but like with the civic I know they will make it feel better with each generation so that the chassis improvements will make the lack of double wishbones less notable. I get that profits are important for a company and good for consumers since they can reinvest it into making better and more fun vehicles. I just love seeing Honda doing well. They are just my favorite auto/engine company. Just want them to keep their passionate attitude towards making everyday cars in this rapidly changing automotive industry.
your intro revealed (once again) the rarity of your character.true to the bone.as for the car,i agree in all especially in CVT and tires.Handling,quality,practicality are in the top of demand no matter mileage.
Thanks for the video and reviewing a more “common” car. I have an 05 v6 EX-L Accord with 221k miles. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that (specifically looking at an Accord with the top trim).
I have a 2004 Accord now, my price range limits me to a 2013 or 2014 Accord, but it seems like a solid option. And good timing on your review, I’m hoping to get one in the next week or two. Just need to find one in a manual
A tuned one is amazing. My gf bought one it’s been tuned a lot we do a 7.25 0-60 warmed up. Cold it does it around 9.5. It’s fast if you feather the gas as your slamming it, it goes a lot faster instead of just pining it down. But all around great car. Put it S mode and it deff slams you back lol. Come test drive guarantee you will enjoy it
I have a 2014 honda accord ex sedan its good for 550 miles on a full tank. 150k miles would have had less if my gf didnt use it for uber. Its beautiful and i love it. My brother is 19 with a 2017 convertible Camaro with 37k miles looks great and all. But he only gets 330 on a full tank. That car will be lucky if it even sees 170k miles.
Meanwhile the 2018 honda accords have a turbo issue with blowing head gaskets.. lol great video, i might be getting one of these still thinking about it
I've been driving a 2013 Honda Accord for about 4 yrs 10 mo. The comment about tire noise doesn't make sense to me. I haven't experienced it; this is with the tires that were on the car when I bought it; I will be replacing them soon due to wear. But, I've never noticed any tire noise.
@@diegomahoudeau934 Good choice. I love everything about my Accord. Very comfortable car. Never give me headache. I never worried driving far with Honda. I m only come down with 2 brand when buying a car either Honda or Toyota, that's it specificaly Accord or Camry. By the way I also own 2019 Camry LE also awsome car.
@@masteroftricks3059 that's what my dad says, Honda and Toyota are the way to go :) have my eyes on a 2016 Civic Touring as well, but read the 1.5 Turbo motor can get a little faulty.
i’ve driven plenty of 9th gen accords like this one, and it feels very light on its feet. Both V6 and 4 cylinder. The electric powered steering is too light though compared to the 8th gen (4 cylinder) the suspension on the 8th gen feels more solid but a little bumpier. The hydraulic steering feels way better. But the i4 is so slow, with the 5 speed auto. Takes forever to rev it out to get some decent power, esp with passengers in the back it’s a dog. The 7th gen accord felt zippier than the 8th gen even though it made less power, but it also weighed way less. 8th gen is just too heavy.
Great review. I have exact the same car. Fuel economy is great. It handles great in mountain path. But I don't like the road noise, hash ride, hard seat, and the CVT. With 205/65/15 tire, the ride is too stiff. If I could choose again. I would buy sport version the manual transmission and swap out the struts for better ride.
2014 coupe at 120k myself! Love this car, my headlights do not look like those lol. I have no major complaints. Was in a front end crash and also hit a deer. Fixed both times and the only issue that’s come from it is when you lock the car with the key, it doesn’t beep or flash lights. It will lock the doors, but not notify you. Mechanic can’t figure it out either. Will keep this car until it can no longer go forward!
Do you all ready replace the starter or pulley tensioner on your Accord ? that is one of the weakness on this cars. , also little bit of oil consumption , need to keep the PCV valve clean or replaced ones in a while , the PCV valve it dont cost much $12- $15. other thing if you leave in the snow belt of USA the rear caliper parking brakes rusted out & is engage at all the time. is just those little things but the car is fantastic I love my Accord,
I have a 2014 Accord Exl coupe V6..I have the starter issue...when i push the start button, you hear a grinding sound..the starter is random at working...still have to get it fixed. Tsb on it also.
It's been a year. Did you get it fixed? I have the same car, and had the same issue. It's a known defect. To fix it, a new starter is needed, but there's a bit more to it. The starter needs to be rotated a bit when installng. I found the solution in a forum somewhere. Luckily, the Honda mechanic was also aware of the problem and solution. I think it cost me $700 when it was all said and done. Hope you fixed it already, and if you haven't. I hope this helps.
@@CitAllHearItAll Hey...no...i jus been driving it on weekends...it still does it and i have to push start button a couple times...went to honda and they quoted me over $600 just fornthe starter? Seen a few online for $400+ oem but....where should I buy a starter from and where can i find info on the additional tricks to out new starter back so it works right
I got the 2915 accord and the Navi screen stopped working and getting an aftermarket radio is hard now because the parts are expensive and hard to find
I have a 2013 Honda Accord X 197000 miles. CVT transmission. Is anyone else having a winding noise coming out of the transmission? Everything ships are right and I'm a little bit worried about the noise, can anyone help?
I have the 2015 with 92k miles on it right now and it's a great car. Only thing was that at 75k miles I had the main rear seal leak and gaskets blew for some reason and cost me $1300 to fix. A couple of times backing out of my garage the engine cut off completely not sure why either. Hopefully it will hold up until 250k miles.
i have 2013 honda accord my issues with the car is the steering get in the way of seeing speedo the need to put a speedo in the center of the dash.lots of road sounds. lots of plastic in the center console with no rubber to stop noises.starting to get rust on the rocker panels 190k on car so far . and a rattle fron the sunroof area since new
Currently driving a 2001 Accord (her name is Holly and I love her) that my mom bought when she had me. Looking at buying one of these in 2022 to fit my budget...don't want to spend more than 17k on a car. Was wondering which of the Accords from 2013 to 2020 was most worth buying? Most bang for my buck kinda deal.

I have a 2015 EX-L with 120k that we bought as certified preowned w 38k on it and other than routine maintenance all we have done is replace the starter. I am not a huge CVT fan at all, but this one is OK. It is a little draggy sometimes but such as it is with a CVT. As long as you do the fluid drain and refill every 30k or so (easy to do in your own garage) it should never give any trouble. At least that has been my experience. It gets CRAZY good gas mileage. Regularly over 30mpg...I never get less than 500 miles out of a tank. It's like you say, just good no nonsense daily transportation. I'll keep mine as long as it will go. I am hoping for 300k. Good honest review here!
15 ex-l with 120k nice we have a 13 ex-l with 112 the cvt still going strong imo
I just bought a 2012 and love it! 141500 miles! $6800! My neighbor lady is the original owner of a 2000 with about 75k miles! Runs like a champ!
Accords are bumpy but they will last a long time. Mine was a little over 200k in ten years before I sold it. It was running as a champ. If you are under budget, Accord is the best vehicle you can get. It's a reliable vehicle!
I drove a 2002 EX sedan for years and bought a newer 2013 EX sedan back in 2017 and gave my daughter the 2002. Sold the 02 early last year and replaced it with another 2013 EX sedan. My daughter and I both love our newer models but I seriously miss the 02. It had 194k miles and needed a lot of work (rack and pinion, catalytic converter, was leaking oil and needed new left upper control arm). I agree that it drove better than the newer models. Seriously regret selling that car. I still see it on the road from.time to time. The new owner is a mechanic and lives close. Apparently he loves it as much as I did.
I had accord sport for years before i got my ridgeline. Honestly such a great car with more personality then a camry and really good gas mileage!
For sure my friend really liked driving this
I have a 2013.Honda accord if you're Burn in any oil out the exhaust system change the PVC.
Fix my problem.
I own a 2015 Accord Sedan Sport. Big upgrade on handing, comfort and noise when I replaced the Goodyear Eagle's that came with the vehicle with Continental PureContact LS tires (235/45R18). Great Video! Thanks!
I got new goodyear eagles on mine at around 60k. They were super quiet and smooth when i first got them. They started getting noisy after about 5k miles. I thought it was a bad wheel bearing.
What's the difference between the sedan sport and EXL version
Just picked up a 2014 ex. It's my first honda. Love the engine.
Great review, my mom owns a 2013 Accord EXL and she loves it and no issues at all!
Nice!
Man your mom is a lucky one. Cause my 2013 EXL has issues galore.
@@jmc224 what issues have you had
@@Striker50_ excessive vibration (even more than what these 4cylinders normally give off), cam chain tensioner needing replacement due to a loud rattle cold start, blend door actuator giving out causing center vents to blow warmer air, ongoing alignment issues for the wheels, a/c fan not kicking in during the hot Texas summers...these are just a handful of issues I’ve come across.
@@jmc224 Sounds like a lemon or something
Got 122k on my 2013, just had a starter, wheel bearing, tensioner pulley, and cam sensor considering I used it for Ride share so a ton of stop and go but it's running strong after each repair and super easy to work on
Just got this 2014 with an upgraded body to 2017 and it has 71k on it and very decent ....happy im gonna have a blast
I love my 2014 Honda Accord EXL w/Lane Watch . Looks nicer than the newest rendition.
I currently drive a 2011 EX-L V6 and I love it!! It's very sporty and fast lol ...Recently driven my friend's 2015 Accord EX (4 cyl.) and I was surprised at how smooth it drove.
Nice thanks for sharing!
Drove my parents 94 Accord DX sedan when I was a teen and I loved it. Purred like a kitten. It was like the energizer bunny. It never quit.
Old School Honda was great
I’m gonna have to say the excessive tire noise is because of those good year tires that’s on the car right now.
There’s a huge difference if you swap for some continentals or Michelin’s
I currently swapped to good year Eagle LS2 from Michelin’s primacy MXM4(factory wheels) while the mechanical grip is better, the highway tire noise is borderline unbearable
Yes definitely tires make a big difference Continentals are very quiet and offer a lot of grip all year round depending on which model you get. What year Honda do you have?
@@MeynMotorGroup have a 2011 and a 2008, so the previous generation
I would agree, Michelin seems to be excellent. I have a 2017 CR-V and just swapped out the junky, OEM Hankook tires Honda puts on that model by default for a new set of Michelin Defenders. It's made a big difference - ride quality is improved, cabin noise while in motion is reduced, and even the steering is more fluid. I would absolutely recommend if the driver can take the ~$1,000 hit. The CR-V rides like it was truly meant to now.
My michillens on my 13 accord aren't much louder than the new 22 hyundai I just bought. It's still an amazing car. With good tires, it has fantastic cornering for a family car that offers the most space for mid size sedans of this year.
@@securipro8641 I have a set of Michelin CrossClimate2’s on my ‘17 Civic EX. Much quieter than the Hankook tires that came from the factory. The Michelin’s have more of a humming sound at highway speeds, and it’s tracking pattern does great in the snow. A little sacrifice on mpg, but worth it for safety during winter conditions. 😊
Accord gang 🥶
I currently own a 2014 Honda Accord Sport model with CVT transmission and 18 inch wheels. Excellent car, no repairs, just normal maintenance at 62k miles. I keep hearing bad stories about CVT transmissions, but so far this one has been perfect!
i got the same model and year like yours. Dont worry about the cvt transmission. if you have a nissan then worry.lol I'm at 195k miles and I got it at 27k. Same engine and transmission. Just follow the maintenance minders and you'll be fine.
I have the 14 sport. 18 inch wheels. Love it. Handles pretty good for what it is. Amazing mpg
I can confirm this Accord does have a lot of road noise. I have a 2019 Hyundai Elantra and lemme tell you, the Elantra is a quiet car. We have a 2014 Accord in the family and it is definitely more noisy than the Hyundai. Still, the Accord is a great car and that's why we keep it!
Yup Hondas are not the most refined in the class but yes Hyundai is very quiet
Had lots of cars honda top them all ex v6 yea
What road noise? When I drive a car, there never is. They are all the same.
@@joshuawick5382 every car makes road noise my guy. if the tires are rolling, it will produce noise. some cars make more noise than others.
Do you still have the 14 Accord?
I read there oil dilution problems with the Earth dream engines. How’s your fairing?
I totaly agree. Most reviews should be cars that the average person of average income can afford.
That's the reason I don't bother with car reviews. Don't want to waste a click.
It is nice to dream sometimes but this is the pragmatic reality so I would def like to do a few more reviews like this
My 2013 EXL has a lot of issues. I’ve probably dealt with more issues with this model than I did with my 2005 PT Cruiser (at the time of ownership that is). My Cruiser lasted for about 10 years before it caught on fire on me. The Accord on the other hand, shows more issues at 8 years old. I’ll give it that the 4 cylinder Hondas have had issues with the idle vibrations, but my specific Accord seems to be using one of those new hand held massagers under the hood. I’ve tried everything to see what may be causing such vibrations, but nothing seems to help. Valve cover gasket leaks crazy oil. Cam chain tensioner is gone to shit as it always gives off a rattle noise when cold starting first thing in the morning. Suspension suck and I didn’t know it was that bad until I rode in the back with my toddler, while my wife drove. Poor wifey was riding bumpy from Houston to Dallas for two years back there. The dual radiator and AC fans are OK. The AC fan does have a mind of it’s own as it just quits in the middle of 100 plus degree weather here in TX. Blend door actuator has burnt out and makes a clicking noise under the center console. Center vents blow warm air unless you got that temp set to the lowest possible with AC. I could go on. This car is easy enough to work on, however. If it weren’t for that, I probably would have spent thousands at the shop or dealership. Everything listed above was repaired by yours truly; well, almost everything. One upgrade I would definitely recommend is changing the battery to a bigger one. The slim one that comes with it, suuuuuuuucks.
How about engine and transmission mounts did you tried those? My 2014 EXL V6 was doing the same thing there are a total of 5 mounts in between transmission and engine.
@@diego0o7 I was looking at doing those as well. But with the car being paid off, having accrued about 140k miles on the car, and looking into buying a new car as our family is expanding…I decided not to put any additional money into the car.
@@jmc224 Yeah make sense, GL with your new buy!
Honestly save up for the exl version because the extra luxury is worth it
Couple easy additions: add a progress sway bar, will completely flatten the car's response in turns, as the stock bar is tiny; add sound deadening treatment to the doors, trunk, and floorpan, that will cut road noise down massively. For the V6 sedan specifically: add the MDX spacer as it will increase low to mid range torque significantly (does not add peak HP) which add substantial enjoyment in day to day driving since an auto transmission always wants to shift to lower rpm's for fuel economy purposes.
Thank You! Yes a review for us common folk! ( ha ) I had a 2015 Honda Accord Touring. I so miss that car. I traded it at 40,000 miles. It was perfect! Only ding I would give it was that it was not good in the snow here in Minnesota. I now drive an Acura RDX
Of course my friend and congrats on the RDX
My Dad has a 2013 Accord LX 75k miles no problems most he had was a new starter at like 50k miles other than that regular oil changes and stuff like that and I personally like the 9th generation accord especially 2016-2017 better than the 10th generation accord.
Great info thanks for sharing!
This is a treat. Love this generation Honda
Thanks for watching
Yeah I got a red 2011 EX coupe it’s amazing 120k miles it rides smooth
Very nice yea that's a good year I would love to hear your thoughts if you drove a 2013 and up when they made the changes to see if it is for the better or for worse
1. Don't bother putting a quieter tire on the Accord. It will still be a noisy car. Been there, done that with Goodyear Assurance Comfortred. Quiet cars are born, not made.
2. On the other hand, I put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my 2010 Accord, and the handling became unbelievably good, as good as a BMW 440i or a Genesis G70 through tight turns. Good tires will turn a wallowing family sedan into an excellent-handling sports sedan.
Good years are trash for the most part a set of Continental Extreme Contacts would be much much quiter with plenty of grip but you're right, a truly quiet car is made but tires can certainly help a bit
I have 2014 EXL with 75000 miles one year owned so far. I bought it certified used at the time 39000 miles still have factory warranty until 100000. Love it so far. Will probably up grade in a few years to a 2020. V6 next time though.

I'd go with the 2016 Accord Sport, probably the best Accord ever made.
Basically the Sport is an upgraded LX, I thought.
It is with nicer wheels and a little exhaust
Got a 2015 with 52k! Glad to know it will survive for a hot minute haha
Oh for sure haha
This review is what it is, I'll give it that. Apologies, I couldn't resist - I jest. This is a good review and a great, practical look at a practical bread and butter car.
I prefer these to the 2016 model refresh
Agreed, that refresh was basically just adding more bling and trying to make it look more luxury but failed
I miss my 2016 accord sport. Gotta 2020 sport now and drives better. but still the last gen was so beautiful.
My 2013 Honda Accord has 145k miles it has a sistem too lean check engine lights which is been a headache for long time because no mechanic has found the real source of the problem. Don’t know what to do I have to do the inspection but it doesn’t want to get ready every time I go to the freeways to run it.
I also have been itching to drive a new accord (10th gen). I know I was upset when they first switched to McPherson but like with the civic I know they will make it feel better with each generation so that the chassis improvements will make the lack of double wishbones less notable. I get that profits are important for a company and good for consumers since they can reinvest it into making better and more fun vehicles. I just love seeing Honda doing well. They are just my favorite auto/engine company. Just want them to keep their passionate attitude towards making everyday cars in this rapidly changing automotive industry.
This is true Chassis improvements have made up for the lack of good suspension geometry
your intro revealed (once again) the rarity of your character.true to the bone.as for the car,i agree in all especially in CVT and tires.Handling,quality,practicality are in the top of demand no matter mileage.
Appreciate that sir! And yes def a great car!
Good thing I love music, the excess noise will never be a problem 🔊🔊
09 honda accord with 260k on her. No engine light ☺ running well! Keep up with them oil changes!
How often do you change the oil, I have a 2014 accord sport with 152k on it and I really want it to last as long as yours, perhaps longer ya know
My 2000 Honda Accord has 198K and still running smoothly, can’t wait to reach the 200K.
2013 accord EXL v6 sedan. Drives the same as it did when new. Great car. 9th Gen is the last of the Great NA Hondas.
Thanks for the video and reviewing a more “common” car. I have an 05 v6 EX-L Accord with 221k miles. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that (specifically looking at an Accord with the top trim).
I have not done a review on that car but I have driven an 05 but it was a 4 cylinder and it honestly drove excellent enjoy it my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup oh, nice! I thought you’d mentioned not driving any of the previous generations. Thanks, again!
Oh sorry I was referring to the direct previous generation like an 08-12 car but yes I drove an 02 and 05 great cars
@@MeynMotorGroup no worries. I may have just misunderstood you. It’s been good to me for sure!
06 Honda Accord V-6 6 speed EX, love my Accord 268,000 miles and counting.
I had a 2014 accord sport and loved it
Nice
i just got a XL-S with a M/T🙏🏽review is fire
Most likely my next car. I love the body style!
Just got a 2014 Accord Touring with leather and NAVI, It's a 4 cylinder, but with these gas prices, it should serve us well. Thanks
I have a 2004 Accord now, my price range limits me to a 2013 or 2014 Accord, but it seems like a solid option. And good timing on your review, I’m hoping to get one in the next week or two. Just need to find one in a manual
Same, only manual is 4cylinder sport. I love 2003 4door 4cylinder manual now at 230000 miles. Wanted by manual but not on 4 door, doh.
Awesome video. Love how straight forward and objective you are. Does anyone know if it have a back up camera???? Thanks.
Back up camera is standard for 2013 and up! Thanks again
I only drive Honda and Toyota 2 of the most reliable vehicles on the planet!
9th gen Honda Accord is best Accord Ever~!!
A tuned one is amazing. My gf bought one it’s been tuned a lot we do a 7.25 0-60 warmed up. Cold it does it around 9.5. It’s fast if you feather the gas as your slamming it, it goes a lot faster instead of just pining it down. But all around great car. Put it S mode and it deff slams you back lol. Come test drive guarantee you will enjoy it
I have a 2014 honda accord ex sedan its good for 550 miles on a full tank. 150k miles would have had less if my gf didnt use it for uber. Its beautiful and i love it. My brother is 19 with a 2017 convertible Camaro with 37k miles looks great and all. But he only gets 330 on a full tank. That car will be lucky if it even sees 170k miles.
Meanwhile the 2018 honda accords have a turbo issue with blowing head gaskets.. lol great video, i might be getting one of these still thinking about it
I remember my parents test driving this and I was with them and the seats and suspension were too stiff it felt like rocks, we got a 2014 Crv instead
Going up my driveway in the winter....mountain driveway...gravel with ice....cvt makes a difference.
I have a 2016 exl and it’s great ride’s very smooth excellent on fuel nice car and you can’t go wrong with Honda.
I've been driving a 2013 Honda Accord for about 4 yrs 10 mo. The comment about tire noise doesn't make sense to me. I haven't experienced it; this is with the tires that were on the car when I bought it; I will be replacing them soon due to wear. But, I've never noticed any tire noise.
love this video and they way you review it bro.
I got a 2013 accord ex with 125k & love it only drawback to me is the Cvt. I’m just not a fan of cvt transmissons but other than that the car is great
I wish they’d get rid of the CVTs and go back to the regular transmissions. They seem to only have problems.
I have that accord the sport trim, its excellent car. The car now 250,000 km, start everytime. Never had a problem.
Any particular thing you don't like about it? Planning on getting a 2014 Accord Sport as well.
@@diegomahoudeau934 Good choice. I love everything about my Accord. Very comfortable car. Never give me headache. I never worried driving far with Honda. I m only come down with 2 brand when buying a car either Honda or Toyota, that's it specificaly Accord or Camry. By the way I also own 2019 Camry LE also awsome car.
@@masteroftricks3059 that's what my dad says, Honda and Toyota are the way to go :) have my eyes on a 2016 Civic Touring as well, but read the 1.5 Turbo motor can get a little faulty.
My 2014 Accord Sport has 218,000 miles. No rattles, squeaks, everything is still tight.
i’ve driven plenty of 9th gen accords like this one, and it feels very light on its feet. Both V6 and 4 cylinder. The electric powered steering is too light though compared to the 8th gen (4 cylinder) the suspension on the 8th gen feels more solid but a little bumpier. The hydraulic steering feels way better. But the i4 is so slow, with the 5 speed auto. Takes forever to rev it out to get some decent power, esp with passengers in the back it’s a dog. The 7th gen accord felt zippier than the 8th gen even though it made less power, but it also weighed way less. 8th gen is just too heavy.
Thanks for sharing quality info my friend appreciate it!
@@MeynMotorGroup Keep up the great videos pal!! thank you
Appreciate that!
Great review. I have exact the same car. Fuel economy is great. It handles great in mountain path. But I don't like the road noise, hash ride, hard seat, and the CVT. With 205/65/15 tire, the ride is too stiff. If I could choose again. I would buy sport version the manual transmission and swap out the struts for better ride.
I have a 2014 EX. It only has 68k. I also have a 96 CD5 with 210k. I love my accords ❤️
2014 coupe at 120k myself! Love this car, my headlights do not look like those lol. I have no major complaints. Was in a front end crash and also hit a deer. Fixed both times and the only issue that’s come from it is when you lock the car with the key, it doesn’t beep or flash lights. It will lock the doors, but not notify you. Mechanic can’t figure it out either. Will keep this car until it can no longer go forward!
Nice!
I have a 2014 Accord sedan. To activate the the beep, click on the lock button on your key twice in session. This will also activate the car alarm.
@@kimd7300 good to know, thank you!
Can't wait to trade my 2016 accord for 2022 civic..
For the mileage looks good shape.. beside the tear in front seat...
Do you all ready replace the starter or pulley tensioner on your Accord ? that is one of the weakness on this cars. , also little bit of oil consumption , need to keep the PCV valve clean or replaced ones in a while , the PCV valve it dont cost much $12- $15. other thing if you leave in the snow belt of USA the rear caliper parking brakes rusted out & is engage at all the time. is just those little things but the car is fantastic I love my Accord,
Looking at this car for a teenager. Found this review complete and helpful. Thank you and keep it up 👍🏼
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are basically the Vanilla ice cream of the car industry, anyway this was another informative video great job 😃
They definitely are appreciate it bro!
Debating on buying the 2013 Honda Accord or the Lexus is 350 2006-2009 as my first car, some help or advice would be appreciated!
Accord only if CVT transmission fluid has been changed at least once, otherwise stick with a 6 speed
I have a 2014 Accord Exl coupe V6..I have the starter issue...when i push the start button, you hear a grinding sound..the starter is random at working...still have to get it fixed. Tsb on it also.
It's been a year. Did you get it fixed? I have the same car, and had the same issue. It's a known defect. To fix it, a new starter is needed, but there's a bit more to it. The starter needs to be rotated a bit when installng. I found the solution in a forum somewhere. Luckily, the Honda mechanic was also aware of the problem and solution. I think it cost me $700 when it was all said and done. Hope you fixed it already, and if you haven't. I hope this helps.
@@CitAllHearItAll Hey...no...i jus been driving it on weekends...it still does it and i have to push start button a couple times...went to honda and they quoted me over $600 just fornthe starter? Seen a few online for $400+ oem but....where should I buy a starter from and where can i find info on the additional tricks to out new starter back so it works right
I want one of these, but V-6. Had a 2005 Accord Hybrid, loved it one I got out some of the kinks.
I got the 2915 accord and the Navi screen stopped working and getting an aftermarket radio is hard now because the parts are expensive and hard to find
I have a 2013 Honda Accord X 197000 miles. CVT transmission. Is anyone else having a winding noise coming out of the transmission? Everything ships are right and I'm a little bit worried about the noise, can anyone help?
How’s the CVT held up?
I have a 2014 sport 6 speed it does handle extremely well
Looking for my first ever car; already set my mind to get 8th Gen Civic but watching this is making me rethink my decision
I’ve bought this car and it’s awesome
I have the 2015 with 92k miles on it right now and it's a great car. Only thing was that at 75k miles I had the main rear seal leak and gaskets blew for some reason and cost me $1300 to fix. A couple of times backing out of my garage the engine cut off completely not sure why either. Hopefully it will hold up until 250k miles.
YOU ARE THE MAN🐤
GREAT REVIEWS😊
LOVE THE CHANNEL
PEACE👻
i have 2013 honda accord my issues with the car is the steering get in the way of seeing speedo the need to put a speedo in the center of the dash.lots of road sounds. lots of plastic in the center console with no rubber to stop noises.starting to get rust on the rocker panels 190k on car so far . and a rattle fron the sunroof area since new
Does it burn oil. ?? It is the v4??
What mile did u buy it.
I'm trying 2 buy one especially the 2013 model. Thnx
Great video. I find Accord better to drive then a Camry SE which drive like an appliance.
Manual for the win
Currently driving a 2001 Accord (her name is Holly and I love her) that my mom bought when she had me. Looking at buying one of these in 2022 to fit my budget...don't want to spend more than 17k on a car.
Was wondering which of the Accords from 2013 to 2020 was most worth buying? Most bang for my buck kinda deal.
