I bought the Accord and am very happy with it. Only negatives: no garage opener in the mirror, no Sirius, no overhead 360 degree camera. Superb gas mileage (better than posted), lots of power and a joy to drive.
I bought a 2024 Accord Hybrid Touring. I use the Sirius XM app on my phone through Apple car play. About 8$ a month. Runs off cell towers rather than satellite. Works fine.
@@Jazz16-we1qc I kinda wish I had gotten the manual but I got an incredible deal on the 2014, I also do a LOT of city / suburb traffic driving so I probably would have regretted all the shifting. The automatic drove great so I can only imagine how fun the stick is. Honda just gets lots of things right in their cars - balanced all the way around between comfort, style, zip, economy, resale, reliability, etc
Hey Paul, excellent review. I have the exact same car but in graphite. I love the car, best purchase I've made so far. Bought mines this past October. Everything you say about the car is exact, the only thing is the ventilated seats are kind of okay, you can barely feel it at max but that is insignificant because the car excels in every category. I'm getting 52.5 MPG by the way but I drive in eco mode while utilizing the paddle shifters frequently.
As the current owner of a 10th gen Accord 2.0T Sport, I am still on the fence with the 11th gen. The interior looks awesome compared to the 10th, but that exterior design... I still can't get over how generic it looks. Great video. Thanks.
@@jahjah2192 lol When I look at them online they look ok. Then I’ll randomly see one in person and start reconsidering it. 😂 I love that off grey color that almost looks a bit blue.
I have a 23 Accord EX-L in Urban Gray. I really love the EX-L as it provides the best mileage and feature set for the value. The Touring seems overpriced. I just couldn't swallow a $40,000 price tag for the Touring. Loving the 50 mpg in the EX-L during the summer months. Drives great after 18 months of ownership. Very solid build quality considering it was made in the first month of mass production of this generation Accord.
I was considering the 2025 civic touring but I test drove the 2025 accord touring too and.. it's WAY comfortable! 2024 probably isn't different at all, could get some nice savings hehe
First time seeing your reviews and I thought you did a great job so I subscribed. This is a beautiful car but I’m waiting to see what the new Civic Hybrid brings to the table. Hope you can review that one also!
That's weird. Every other reviewer and lots of folks on the forums say the ventilated seats do next to nothing. Maybe you got some that work? Nice review, thanks for sharing.
Hey Paul, two questions: doesn't the trunk have room to put a spare if one wanted to purchase a kit, and how are the brakes ( spongy or disconnected like the new Camry).
Hi Paul. Thanks for the great review. Been car shopping for a few months now and it's really between this and the Civic Touring (which is now coming in hybrid as you noted). I like the looks of the Civic more but like how the Accord is a bit more refined naturally as it's a step up. I'm trying to wait for the Civic hybrid to hit dealerships to make my decision but I may just jump to the Accord as my current car is on its last legs and am afraid dealerships will play the markup game again since it will be new and finding Civic Touring/Sport Tourings was already difficult. I'm a bit stuck on what to do. As a Civic Touring owner yourself and with the hybrid coming what would you do? Again thanks for the review!
Hi Brent! Thanks for watching. I actually just finished my owner review on my 2024 Civic Touring, it should be uploaded and released tonight! I answer that question in the video, but personally; I’d wait and see!
I loved my 2022 sport touring. Absolutely the best compact I ever owned. Unfortunately it was a little too small for me and the seats uncomfortable on longer drives. I traded for a new hybrid. but not the Accord too expensive.
I just got one and the suspension is pretty good. It’s not going to be super soft, but it splits the difference of sport handling but not being harsh either.
I agree front grill should be like the old generation, back is better, only the Honda badge should not be stupidly small. I think this why the sales are so down, plus they dropped the 2 Liter turbo. I hope Honda is listening.
Savagegeese recently did a comparison of the two, they said the Accord has a more refined and isolated driving experience, and they didn’t even have the Touring version of the Accord which is more isolated vs the other trims.
@@Fadic4yup Recently test drove both sport L and touring and the touring is so much quieter than the sport L. Def getting the touring. Which color do you think looks good on the touring?
@@sergioferrer4185I don't think that's the only thing, I do believe the touring has more sound deading material throughout . I think the Turing has a sound deadening windshield also. There are plenty of good products out there that you can add to kill sound. I did that to my 21 F-250 and it was incredible how much sound it killed.
Oh lord. I thought the redesign was bad enough, but they even made the startup/door bong worse from the last generation. Solid and thorough review, but as someone that owned the last gen Accord Hybrid Touring, it is leagues better than this generic cheese grater garbage Honda has pushed out. And it's a shame, because the screen upgrade is nice, but most of the rest of it is worse, AND for more money.
The Last of The Accords!! Sales down doube digit percentages! And the 11th Gen looks as ugly as a bar of soap. On my channel I got a 10th Gen (same engine) with busted fuel injectors that cost me $1600 OOP as the joke of a warranty is only 36K. I was among the 1st to experience this now youtube is full of busted fuel injector & head gasket issues under 100K with eye-popping repair prices and backlogs on parts! How long can the pain keep the Honda consumer coming back for more pain???

@@TheRealJohnMelendez Yes
@@TheRealJohnMelendezI was thinking the same thing
@@TheRealJohnMelendezI love Sirius.
Just traded in my 2014 Accord Sport for 2024 Sport. I love driving it, love how it looks, and plan to keep until 2034.

Apparently it looks much better in person. lol I’ve seen so many comments about how pictures/video don’t do it justice.
@@shaun5047definitely looks way better in person Lol I can agree with that
Thought the exterior was so bad myself after watching many vids on it but once you see one of these babies in person Omg lol looks really nice

@@shaun5047 🤣🤣🤣 haha forreal man
It’s the perfect everyday commuter and everyday family car
Theses by far are my favorite accords. As long as you bumb up to the hybrid model

Thanks! Yes, this was the first vehicle I’ve tested that actually had good ventilated seats. Maybe it’s luck of the draw.
Why not do a black headliner? It would have looked more premium with a black headliner.

Thanks for the great review, in your opinion what is the best color on the Honda Accord?
Urban Gray!
Honda can bring back the 2.0 turbo manual or 10 Speed back with the 14 ich Infotainment touch screen.
Tank you
How's the ride quality especially on the cracked parts of the road? I'm in Midwest and the roads here are terrible.
I just got one and the suspension is pretty good. It’s not going to be super soft, but it splits the difference of sport handling but not being harsh either.
I am curious about driver seat headroom as i am 6’2. Also which car has more headroom 2024 CRV hybrid or 2024 Accord hybrid?
The CRV, by about an inch!
I test drove an Accord Touring Hybrid today, and I am 6’2” and had a ton of both headroom and legroom.
I agree front grill should be like the old generation, back is better, only the Honda badge should not be stupidly small.
I think this why the sales are so down, plus they dropped the 2 Liter turbo.
I hope Honda is listening.
LOL sales are down because the logo is small? Wow.
Was you able to test the Bose Sound System?
Yes I did! Not on video though, I should have done that. It’s really good, I’d say just as good as the Civic (which is a B-Tier System)
No markups? What's that extra sticker on the window?
For the splash guards they install on every vehicle. They can be removed upon request. I kept mine on because the splash guards actually work.
$40,000 for a Honda sedan!? *gasp*. Love it otherwise but that’s basically full size SUV pricing
Not anymore, it isn't.
idk my first impressions of CVT is terrible. I had 3 transmissions in 40k miles with my nissan sentra.
I mean Honda CVTs are way better. They are almost on the same tier with toyota
Seems to me like a lovely dayly driver. Between the Accord and the new Camry I wonder which one has a more refined drive.
I’m trying to get my hands on one!! I’m wondering that myself!
Savagegeese recently did a comparison of the two, they said the Accord has a more refined and isolated driving experience, and they didn’t even have the Touring version of the Accord which is more isolated vs the other trims.
@@Fadic4yup
Recently test drove both sport L and touring and the touring is so much quieter than the sport L. Def getting the touring. Which color do you think looks good on the touring?
@@topranked5465 I like the new dark blue they have.
It’s also a lovely ‘daily’ driver
Question is, is it better than the new gen camry?
Find out soon! I should have access to one within a month!
@@PaulsPlacecan you do a 0-60 of each?
Not a huge fan of the new body either . 👍I wonder if it has the quiet wheels . My 24 hybrid CRV has them and Zero road noise
Which one do you have: hybrid sport, hybrid sport-L , hybird Touring??
Which CRV you have?? Hybrid sport, hybrid sport-L, hybrid Touring??
Touring
@@kenj.8897 mine hybrid sport-l, 18 inch sounds has little road noise. I should get 19 inch and tire from the touring version then. Thanks

I wish it was 10spd and not cvt
40,000 for an Accord? Yeah ok
Top trim
Is the highest trim
@@Jazz16-we1qc im not buying a car for 40k, unless its a lexus. Im just saying its the highest trim XD
@@Joseabh24Hate to break it to you but you aren’t buying a Lexus for $40k. Closer to $50k maybe.
@@a32tl i saw new lexus models on their website at 42k-45k

The startup / door chime is the same one as my 2019 Accord 2.0T had, yours is different?
@PaulsPlace It was definitely different on mine. Maybe because it was a Hybrid Touring?
It looks like when they did the facelift and changed the fog lights in 2021ish is when they changed the chime as well!
I hope they update the exterior design a bit because it’s an awesome car, just ugly as hell.
Everyone said the same about the 10th gen in 2018
Looks great to me!
I prefer the 2022- 2021 Honda accord builds
The Last of The Accords!! Sales down doube digit percentages! And the 11th Gen looks as ugly as a bar of soap.
