Hey guys! There is a way you can leave the tachometer always on while scrolling through the other functions in the instrument panel. Keep in mind, we have very limited time with the car during these media events but we did catch the video from HondaPro Jason showing how to change that setting.
Hey there! Do you think the 2018 Accord Touring is better than the 2018 Acura TLX V6 with the A-Spec package? Serious question. Or should I wait for the next gen TLX?
@Redline Reviews, Hi at 21:21 you completely forgot about the Hyundai Elantra sport sedan with premium package. Remember that? You even praised that car cmon!!
I'm glad you had that watch in the trunk, it really put the size in perspective. I can rest assured that my wrist watch will indeed fit in the back of the new Accord.
@@Jkngz i wonder, do you have the newer gen Apple Watch or the new Galaxy Watch? Am a Galaxy Watch guy, but my watch doesn't also fit in the trunk. was really surprised. I had to return my Accord to get the CRV.
2017 was a much better looking car . They also had proven engines . These engines are not proven and they have problems . I never buy new / first year models with new engine and trans that are not proven
This was one of the videos that helped me make a decision on buying one. So I did and started to mod mine. So far so good and couldn't be happier. It's a great bang for the buck and accommodates my 2 kids while not looking like I gave up on life! lol
Dan Villa I love this car so much I made an entire playlist about this car, I am currently on a 9 month mission to get this 2.0 Sport lol I cannot wait to be apart of the Accord Gang! 😂
I agree, Sofi does a great job, I look at a lot of reviews, and he is head and shoulders above what I have seen on RUclips. Does anyone know of any reviewers that are good and not annoying?
Macs Eagle he means the manual transmission. If the 10 speed is over your budget and the cvt is a no no. 6 speed manual is your best bet 👌👌. But I got the exl 2.0, man I love it. Cant even complain about anything on this new accord. The 2.0 MPG Will definitely suprise you on long trip
akshat s Actually I went with the new ACURA TLX V6 instead of the Accord. For your info I did have two Mercedes’ so far. one 4matic and another rear traction. So IDK if that alone qualifies me as a peasant. But the way I saw it, too many peasants were flocking to Mercedes so I changed the brand.
I just recently bought a new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport manual and I love it. I did come from a 16' WRX, and there are things to miss about that car but I truly love this car because it is now what I am looking for. This is extremely comfortable and easy to drive anywhere despite how long it is. It is also very spacious inside the cabin and in the trunk; easily haul 5 passengers and their stuff in the trunk for a road trip. I like how quiet this car is at highway speed, and the gear ratios are made for the most fuel economy at highway speeds. To be honest I have very few gripes about this car. One is how a family sedan comes with 19" 235/40 low profile tires (moreso than my WRX). My issue isn't ride quality, it feels just fine, but the fact I have to spend that much more money to replace tires when the time comes. It won't be cheap. Another gripe is I would have preferred analog dials in the dash versus that LCD. It has good functionality, but from a long term reliability stand point I'd prefer analog dials. If ever that LCD were to malfunction that could potentially be quite an expensive fix. Lastly, that back end does look rather terrible. Not a fan of those lobster claw tail lights. Thus far I've been averaging 32 mpg on mostly highway driving on the first couple tanks. That's pretty much what it is rated at, but I expect I can get better mpg later when the engine is fully broken in, I only use Shell gas, and I can use my chosen engine oil (likely Castrol Edge Full Synthetic for GDI Turbo engines). It is also not a slow car by any means. It cannot compete with my WRX, but it is not slow. It also handles quite well around corners despite being a large sedan. Overall, I still love this Accord. It is everything I want in a car now from reliability, to build quality, to pure comfort on the road. Thank you for your review, it was a factor in helping me decide to get this car!
I'm REALLY interested in this car. I can't believe how well Honda did improving it. My 2009 Honda Accord Coupe's days might be numbered. Also, props on the camera work. Nice to see you guys continually upping your game! Keep up the great content!
Drove this car while I was scavenging dealerships for a car purchase a couple weeks ago and I can tell you this car is amazing. I though a Nissan Maxima was better than this., boy I was wrong!
@@christianservin7635 Nissan is okay but Honda and Toyota are way ahead of their competitors right now. I mean the Accord and Camry honestly rival luxury German cars that are almost twice as much in cost. It's crazy how much of a leap these two Japanese companies recently took on terms of the overall quality of the cars and the value you get for your money. I honestly can't blame the American companies for just dropping out of the market they knew they couldn't keep up. Other manufacturers are going to be left behind really fast if they don't get their shit together. I think many car companies severally underestimated the sensing features in cars, Honda went all out on it. Honestly on the highway my Civic Sport Touring feels like a Tesla in terms of autopilot. The damn thing can just drive itself it's insane for the price.
The content in cars today is incredible. I still remember the early 90s Accords and how minimalist they were compared to the products out there on road now.
Just test drove this vehicle yesterday. Coming out of factory stock with 2.0 liter turbo. 252 hp. 25-30 mpg city/ highway. Very comfortable car, fast, and luxurious. Great car
I bought the blue version of this car, 2.0 Accord Sport. Hands down the best car I have ever driven. So much better than my previous Acura in every way. The interior is just perfect.
Props to Honda for keeping the availability of a manual WITH the top trim options and safety features! Love it! I also love the styling and the LED headlights. Most of the competition is relegating Manuals to base trims, which makes me sad. Thank you Honda!
I think the 2017 sport looks better honestly, but a very nice car. I used to hate on hondas, but you just can't go wrong they are so reliable, safe, inexpensive, practical, and sporty !
@UCz4K5Y1FJDD1pYys4shOl2g everyone has their opinion. So far i got tons of compliments with my red sport accord. I even heard some guys in my job talking about how good my car looks lol.. still.. I didnt like the back. The front on the previous gen looks outdated.
What ever it means to you I just switched from a Jetta Gli to the 2.0T manual based on your review. Everything you said holds true. The auto drive features are amazing. The engine is a rocket. You did a good job
you got to love Honda theres a reason they used the same block as the type R thats because racing is at the heart of Honda they know people are going to tune the hell out of this accord which is gonna help with sells
It also helps save money for them not making so many different engines. I don't mind, hopefully it means that the 1.5 and 2.0 liter Turbo engines are both much more reliable because of that
Biggest reason for using the same block is cost. You don't have to spend capital on design and testing for instance. Also I am sure as they manufacture more engines they can get lower costs for components due to economies of scale. Lastly you have to carry less SKU's for spares which means lower costs from a servicing perspective. Rarely to automakers design a car for people to tune (much less mid size family sedans).
I’ve been driving the 2.0 sport automatic for two years now. Absolutely love this car. The 10 speed is way better than the 1.5 L with the CVT. Think I’ll trade it in for exactly the same model in 2021.
There’s a setting in the menu that keeps the tach visible at all times. The tach gets slightly smaller and wraps around the various features in the menu. Really neat
I think it’s great that Honda is keeping the manual alive through their Accord as well. However, the 6 speed just isn’t very good. I would opt out and go for the 10 speed which is extremely quick and shifts buttery smooth.
I learned to drive on my dads 2006 accord sedan. I remember we put probably 240,000 km in the six years we owned it. Being the second owners we bought it off lease at 40,000km. Never had issues with the car and was bullet proof. Even when we bought a Toyota after the accord was still worth some money at 280,000, sometimes I wonder where it is today, if it’s in some scrap yard or if it’s off delivering pizzas, who knows. These cars are seriously the best and I would recommend it over anything else in its category.
Wife just bought one. 2.0 Silver with the Black Honda accessory 19 inch wheels. Looks awesome. Turning heads like crazy. Faster than my 2006 BMW 330i sport. Overall GREAT car. You get so much more car by getting the 2.0T over the 1.5. Awesome buy. and that is coming from a BMW guy.
This helped me make my decision between this and the Camry. Accord in silver with 35%tint (Legal limit) , and of course had to go with after market speakers and sub. Car is damn near perfect!
I have had mine for almost 2 years and have 121,000km. I’m a field tech and drive all over northern Ontario. I can say I love this car I have had zero issues with it. It still goes like hell and get good gas mileage 6.1/100km.
@@perkhere2252 unfortunately not I have the1.5l earth dreams with the oil dilution issue. I drive so much and change my oil so frequently I doubt it will be an issue.
Growing on me.. but last one is still nicer. At least the taillights are. Also there better be a full leather option in the sport without dealer bullshit
The car is growing onto me too, I just don't know if I should continue looking at the newer model or enjoy the look of the 2017 one... I am really only excited to see the hybrids and how they compare to each other. If there isn't a huge difference I might have to go with the 2017 since these newer tail lights are just gross! Could of stuck with the traditional Accord ones :(
Test drove a 2021 and yeah that torque is wonderful, I think the 2.0 is right in that sweet spot of fun to drive without being to dangerous in terms of getting a big ticket.
Sweet,-2 engines, 6MT, in an Accord. Interior quality at this price range is great. Infotainment finally done right. Honda is hitting home runs model after model.
I’m also looking for one as well, but the market price seem to be messed up. I seen a handful that cost as much as the 2021-2022 accord 2.0T. Weird maybe I’ll just save up a bit extra and get a new one.
Your reviews are always well done and quite informative. Based on your review and a test drive, I bought one of these (Sport 2.0T Auto). It's a great car. Thanks again for your reviews. Keep it up.
You were obviously born to do this gig. The only negative thing I can say about your delivery is that it is awesome to the point of distraction. We can all hope to attain such grace and fluidity. Great Job. Thank you!. New Sub.
OK, I haven't seen them, but why rip so harshly on RR? If you don't care for his approach, it would be kinder to point out where he is lacking so he can improve, rather than being such an ignoramus.
My mom just got one last week and today I got to drive it not gona lie was really impressed with it not bad at all and it looks good just wish it was a manual so I can push the turbo to its limit
Accord has been a little slow to be on the leading edge with the redesign Malibu 2.0T in.... 2016! Nice that they can catch up today almost 2 years later.
I wanted a sunroof and thought they started at EX level...wow the sport model with 2.0 has it -_- and the heated seats! Plus the nicer looking rims... well at least my EX will save me gasoline :)
I’m about to turn 18 and start building my credit, this is by far my affordable dream car I’ve been wanting one ever since they came out, my first car was a 97 accord se ever since it was totaled I’ve been wanting an accord
And since I'm a scrub that lives in NYC, the fact that this has the Rev Matching from the Type-R and can adjust the dampers, I think this might by the move to make as well lol
2.0T is something I wanted but the V6 is what got me when came time to upgrade my sedan. I drive a Maxima SL and think in three more years I'll be getting this 2.0T, I miss manual trans and probably will upgrade the snail and fuel map. Good car, congrats
My only concern for tuning accord is that it’s still fwd and it’s probably gonna be tougher to put the power down. The wheels would spin much more with over 370lb ft torque to just the front wheels. Lots of torque steer
I actually like the looks of the new front end, especially with the blacked grille. The interior looks absolutely perfect. The back end and the awkward body lines down the side is where I lose interest. Other than that it's a well put together car.
At first I was kinda jealous about the new Accord Sport cause of the turbo, but after watching ths, I’m happy that I stuck with my 2017 Accord Sport. To me the 9th gen accord looks way better than the 10th.
Watch Honda Pro Jason Review on the 2018 Accord, there is a setting where you can have the tachometer on at all times no matter what you are looking at.
It's hard (for me) to see the grade, even sometimes whether you're going up-or-down. I bought a new Accord w V6 back in 2006, now has over 250,000 miles (no breakdowns) but this one seems to be quicker. Hard to say for sure w/o being there and seat-of-the-pants feel. I like the sound of the 4 banger, not bad. What I worry about is squeezing the horsepower out of 4 banger via Turbo; to me that means the days of 250,000 w/o maintenance are over, but hope I'm wrong. Turbo's are high maint., and boosting a naturally aspirated motor pushes the components much harder - I highly doubt this thing will go 150k wo some engine work.
I've seen Kia's go over 150k with no issues and some of these new accords with over 100k on them. You are definitely mistaken. 150k isn't much, regardless if its a turbo honda
Just drove mine home !!!! What a beautiful car that looks much more upscale than what you would expect.Coming from a 2015 its like night and day and you can actually fit a normal sized human being in the back.The fact that it comes with 3 pedals and six gears- SOLD ME!!Hate all you want go see it in person looks muscular and like some have mentioned more upscale.My 2.0T SPORT in black looks awesome.Fun to drive and love the 2.0T in it.
With midsize sedans so nice now. I can't understand why I would pay 2x for luxury. Who cares if the headliner is made of velvet or whatever. Accord is growing on me especially the manual!
@@mitchellsteindler I think 3 series and accord is the same size now... 5 and e is entry the size of avalon. While S class coupe is so big it almost he size of roll royce dawn.
Finally traded my 16 exl for a 18 exl in radiant red metallic with ivory leather. This car is sweet. Looks better and sitting inside now feels like your in a sport sedan. Turbo engine doesnt feel underpowered below 3000 rpm. All around just a better car than the 9th gen. I had two 9th gens. A 2013 exl and a 2016 exl. When people say they like the 9th gen more they are full of it. Dont miss any of my 9th gens one bit.
It looks like Honda just cut out part of the old Honda Accord front bumper to fit an intercooler. I understand it's necessary, but I feel like there is a more aesthetically pleasing solution to that
ShowTime Glo I will never go into debt on a depreciating asset again. I only save up and pay cash. If I can't pay for it, then I can't afford it. The prices are out of control on these new cars because of this payment plan mentality. Fuck banks
Ayman Nimer That’s funny. Canada does not have a car brand that is sold in US. They just manufacture for other car brands like GM, Toyota, Honda etc. which is not a Canadian brand.
KBB has better editing and shooting but this dude's reviews are far better to me. He points the bad and the good stuff that you only notice and feel when you live with the car as a driver. To me, his reviews are far more important because he understands enthusiastic drivers as well.
I like how this guy does it.. and please stfu for those saying omg is an ad.. he’s just giving a fare review.. you want him to say oh is shit cuz it looks ugly.. prolly Camry owners
I absolutely love my 2019 2.0T Sport. I'm extremely disappointed that Honda killed it for 2023. The 11th Gen Accord does nothing for me. I might have to hunt down a 2022 2.0T before they become extinct.
I have never owned a Camry or an Accord, and have thought all of this "car war" stuff was so stupid. I had my heart set on an 2018 Camry XSE, but went in-person and was somewhat underwhelmed. On a whim, we hit up a Honda dealership to check out a Touring 2.0T. We were absolutely blown away. Equal performance, more refined/mature/luxurious interior, and all at like $7k less the cost. I'm officially an Accord guy and can now see what all the fuss has been about...
jmanyes no. Mazda fans think they created that tablet design and interior design. I still don’t like it that much. It’s still not as bad as the Mazda’s though.
The most interesting part is that Hondata did a stock dyno test of the 2.0T Accord and it actually made 266 horsepower and 292 lb-ft of torque at the wheels before any tuning. Makes me wonder what Honda is hiding.
Truly an amazing car. I have owned it for exactly one month and after waking up this morning, I found it sitting in my apartment complex parking lot with the passenger side window broken out and all four rims missing. Buyer beware! This model is a highly sought-after vehicle for thieves.
Honda always resides in top 5 stolen vehicles in the country. Accord has had the top spot on several occasions for theft. Wheel locks are a handy inexpensive tool.
I just bought one today a red San marino 2.0 sport Honda Accord and coming from a 2018 Lexus RX and a 2017 Lexus ES . I’m very impressed. It’s very quiet and all the safety features that a 62,000.00dollar car have. The only thing I wish that the feed from the road should be a little smoother like a Lexus ES . Then there will be no reason to buy a luxury car.

This was the video that pushed me to get mine in 2020. Thank you so much. I’ll never forget this being the first video I watched of the 10 gen. 👏🏾👏🏾
I just got my 2019 2.0t a couple days ago. Love mines!
Nice review. Thanks for reviewing the 6-speed for those of us who refuse to buy CVTs.
Am I wrong for thinking this but you'll have to change that belt one day at 100,000 Miles??? or never? That's why I steer clear of CVT's...….
@010steveo they're still shit tho
I learned to drive on my dads 2006 accord sedan. I remember we put probably 240,000 km in the six years we owned it. Being the second owners we bought it off lease at 40,000km. Never had issues with the car and was bullet proof. Even when we bought a Toyota after the accord was still worth some money at 280,000, sometimes I wonder where it is today, if it’s in some scrap yard or if it’s off delivering pizzas, who knows. These cars are seriously the best and I would recommend it over anything else in its category.
I just got a blue 19 accord sport with the manual, 1,5, The car drives awesome, I would have liked to got the 2.0 but that was kinda out of my budget.
Upon further investigation, how did you manage to get tired of a manual? Ha ha
Sofyan and the redline team always killing it with the reviews. Best one yet🙄👌👍
Wife just bought one. 2.0 Silver with the Black Honda accessory 19 inch wheels. Looks awesome. Turning heads like crazy. Faster than my 2006 BMW 330i sport. Overall GREAT car. You get so much more car by getting the 2.0T over the 1.5. Awesome buy. and that is coming from a BMW guy.
Me: The Accord video is ou-
Conscious: You have a test tomorr-
Me: THE ACCORD VIDEO IS OUT

Always watch Redline for a good review.

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Add humor
This helped me make my decision between this and the Camry. Accord in silver with 35%tint (Legal limit) , and of course had to go with after market speakers and sub. Car is damn near perfect!
I have had mine for almost 2 years and have 121,000km. I’m a field tech and drive all over northern Ontario. I can say I love this car I have had zero issues with it. It still goes like hell and get good gas mileage 6.1/100km.
What trim did you buy? What are your favorite features? Thanks
Northern Ontario is filled with woods and non existent roads
@@perkhere2252 year 3 240,00km still going strong. The only issue so far a malfunctioning trunk switch that would randomly pop the trunk open.
@@kevinjhonson5925 If im not mistaken you have the 2.0T right?
@@perkhere2252 unfortunately not I have the1.5l earth dreams with the oil dilution issue. I drive so much and change my oil so frequently I doubt it will be an issue.
Love this car. I just bought one.
Growing on me.. but last one is still nicer. At least the taillights are. Also there better be a full leather option in the sport without dealer bullshit
The last generation wasn't "ricey" in my opinion. Practically had BMW styled tail lights and curves. It was pretty beautiful to be honest.
The car is growing onto me too, I just don't know if I should continue looking at the newer model or enjoy the look of the 2017 one... I am really only excited to see the hybrids and how they compare to each other. If there isn't a huge difference I might have to go with the 2017 since these newer tail lights are just gross! Could of stuck with the traditional Accord ones :(
theory816 what nonsense. the fastback design is ugly. for petes sake
Sport will never have full leather, it has vinyl and cloth combo now. Just spend more money
THIS ONE front with last one tail would have been great.
Test drove a 2021 and yeah that torque is wonderful, I think the 2.0 is right in that sweet spot of fun to drive without being to dangerous in terms of getting a big ticket.
depends I own a 2.0T, its fun but it is a ticket hunter at highway speeds because you’ll be doing 90 in a 70 without really thinking about it.
That moment when he finally floors it and you're waiting for his reaction..if he smiles, it's a yes! lol
finally an accord that is new that I love, i hope its comfortable and that my wife loves it--she's excited to drive the 6 speed
Sweet,-2 engines, 6MT, in an Accord. Interior quality at this price range is great. Infotainment finally done right.
Honda is hitting home runs model after model.
Just a large car with a lot of torque steer.... I do like 6MT but it just don't improved the overall car..
Love this car, I own the 2.0 sport manual
The accord looks really bold and stunning. Hoping to get a used 2018 2.0t either on red or blue exteriors
I’m also looking for one as well, but the market price seem to be messed up. I seen a handful that cost as much as the 2021-2022 accord 2.0T. Weird maybe I’ll just save up a bit extra and get a new one.
@@haii1650 I have a 2016 lxs I want a 10th gen tho
Sweet car. I love the red. I've had 3 red Hondas and loved them all. Your cameraman does a great job at following your presentation.
He asked such a important question. What is Acura doing. As a Acura lover, he's never said anything so right.
alex martens the first time i saw the transmission without a stick was in the acura mdx
Acura who?
What is an Acura? Is that a new planet discovered by NASA?
alex martens Honda made Acura for Americans who want to be extra fancy, like Toyota did with Lexus, and Nissan did with infinity
Jordan Richardson Sure the Japanese made a nameplate to separate their economy car roots but Acura is not more than a luxury trim to Honda these days.
Your reviews are always well done and quite informative. Based on your review and a test drive, I bought one of these (Sport 2.0T Auto). It's a great car.
Thanks again for your reviews. Keep it up.
You were obviously born to do this gig. The only negative thing I can say about your delivery is that it is awesome to the point of distraction. We can all hope to attain such grace and fluidity. Great Job. Thank you!. New Sub.
If there is a better person out there reviewing cars, I sure don't know who it is. Great job, keep up the good work.
OK, I haven't seen them, but why rip so harshly on RR? If you don't care for his approach, it would be kinder to point out where he is lacking so he can improve, rather than being such an ignoramus.
I have a 2019 Honda Accord sport. I love it.
My mom just got one last week and today I got to drive it not gona lie was really impressed with it not bad at all and it looks good just wish it was a manual so I can push the turbo to its limit
I have a 2019 Honda accord sport 1.5T. I love it.
Do you still love it or you have failed head gasket?
If he doesn't start laughing and smiling when he does the 0-60 you know car isn't fast enough
FTWinnick it’s a Honda what do u expect
@17:00
There are 3 levels of Sofyan speed ratings:
1. "Yawn"
2. Laughs and Smiles
3. "OH SHIT! FUCK!"
Nyezaire Mclean What does that have to do with speed? I’m guessing you drive a Bentley?
Nyezaire Mclean Lol bye, you are just foolish! 🤗
I got to drive one of the 2019 models after my Civic went in. Such a fun car to drive. No problems taking off at all
I seen a white one yesterday, BEST LOOKING ACCORD AND CAR ON THE ROAD HANDS DOWN! I'm genuinely becoming a Honda fan
They are beautiful to look at, it will come down to $$$
After seeing the drag race i do respect the new turbo engine however i dont think this is a better looker than the older generation ..
agree
Grew on me
Agreed, they fucked up the design just like they did back in 2009 with acura tl
Accord has been a little slow to be on the leading edge with the redesign Malibu 2.0T in.... 2016! Nice that they can catch up today almost 2 years later.
the front is beautiful, but the 2017 model's rear end is waaaaay better
I wanted a sunroof and thought they started at EX level...wow the sport model with 2.0 has it -_- and the heated seats! Plus the nicer looking rims... well at least my EX will save me gasoline :)
TORQUE IS WHAT YOU WANT. AND IT'S INSTANT, RIGHT AT 1500 RPM! SO "TORQUE LAG" IS NONEXISTENT.
What is torque lag?
5:00 If you want the Tach to stay showing for all the information display menu options, you can enable that in the vehicle settings on the display.
I’m about to turn 18 and start building my credit, this is by far my affordable dream car I’ve been wanting one ever since they came out, my first car was a 97 accord se ever since it was totaled I’ve been wanting an accord
I think I need that 2.0T Sport 6MT Accord in my life ASAP. What a perfect daily driver.
And since I'm a scrub that lives in NYC, the fact that this has the Rev Matching from the Type-R and can adjust the dampers, I think this might by the move to make as well lol
#SaveTheManual
Renaldo Johnson its missing the auto rev match feature and the adaptive dampers actually.
Does it have rev match and adjustable dampers or no?
ER B I agree! I have a 2007 accord v6 6mt sedan and it’s a blast to drive! Glad they brought back the MT in the sedan for 2018.
In Canada you get sunroof with 1.5 sport as well as proximity key and remote start...pick up mine in lunar silver next week
2.0T is something I wanted but the V6 is what got me when came time to upgrade my sedan. I drive a Maxima SL and think in three more years I'll be getting this 2.0T, I miss manual trans and probably will upgrade the snail and fuel map. Good car, congrats
This new Honda Accord looks like an Extra Large Honda Civic.
Except for the fake vents
That’s exactly what it is....
It is
Same way a a8 looks exactly like a large a4 and the same with the c and s class
I think that’s not a compliment XD
Apparently putting a stage 2 tune on one of these bumps up the hp and torque by 100 on both ends. I'd like a 336 hp accord. 😂
Can that CVT handle that?
@@MossA-ox7ys the 2.0 has a 10 speed auto or a 6 speed manual, both can definately handle that
My only concern for tuning accord is that it’s still fwd and it’s probably gonna be tougher to put the power down. The wheels would spin much more with over 370lb ft torque to just the front wheels. Lots of torque steer
dude ! i REALLY like your reviews, VERY comprehensive. THANK YOU!!
I actually like the looks of the new front end, especially with the blacked grille. The interior looks absolutely perfect. The back end and the awkward body lines down the side is where I lose interest. Other than that it's a well put together car.
This will be my next car.
Mine too, the Touring 2.0T w/10spd auto, although I will drive the 2019 Avalon before making my final decision.
Just bought this car today! Got a decent deal on it too. I love it already
I am loving the 6speed manual, but I guess I am the only one that listen to CD these days. No CD player ouch. I am getting old. lol
Camry's still got CD
I haven’t bought a cd since 2007
Yep I am old. I still got a 2006 acura with a 6 disc changer. lol
I'm old too I have a 00 LS 400
Can you get a manual transmission in the Camry?
Didn’t even know this year came in a manual, I have a2006 5 speed accord I might need to cop 😎
I think this car looks better in person. Its a design that starts growing on you.
At first I was kinda jealous about the new Accord Sport cause of the turbo, but after watching ths, I’m happy that I stuck with my 2017 Accord Sport. To me the 9th gen accord looks way better than the 10th.
Watch Honda Pro Jason Review on the 2018 Accord, there is a setting where you can have the tachometer on at all times no matter what you are looking at.
This is what I’m watching at 12 and I have school tomorrow.
It's hard (for me) to see the grade, even sometimes whether you're going up-or-down. I bought a new Accord w V6 back in 2006, now has over 250,000 miles (no breakdowns) but this one seems to be quicker. Hard to say for sure w/o being there and seat-of-the-pants feel. I like the sound of the 4 banger, not bad. What I worry about is squeezing the horsepower out of 4 banger via Turbo; to me that means the days of 250,000 w/o maintenance are over, but hope I'm wrong. Turbo's are high maint., and boosting a naturally aspirated motor pushes the components much harder - I highly doubt this thing will go 150k wo some engine work.
I've seen Kia's go over 150k with no issues and some of these new accords with over 100k on them. You are definitely mistaken. 150k isn't much, regardless if its a turbo honda
"It's lot wider... I think it's 1/2 inch wider..." lol!
Iggi Valencia lollllllzz. Hilarious
oopsisuckeditagain not really. One half inch is not a lot regardless of what class
Just drove mine home !!!! What a beautiful car that looks much more upscale than what you would expect.Coming from a 2015 its like night and day and you can actually fit a normal sized human being in the back.The fact that it comes with 3 pedals and six gears- SOLD ME!!Hate all you want go see it in person looks muscular and like some have mentioned more upscale.My 2.0T SPORT in black looks awesome.Fun to drive and love the 2.0T in it.
With midsize sedans so nice now. I can't understand why I would pay 2x for luxury. Who cares if the headliner is made of velvet or whatever. Accord is growing on me especially the manual!
MrNick98 isn’t this a small sedan? An e class or 5 series is a real mid size
An accord competes with the c and 3
Alex G wow you're right... The 3 series has gotten damn huge (as has the accord).
indeed, cars have gotten gigantic in recent years
@@mitchellsteindler I think 3 series and accord is the same size now... 5 and e is entry the size of avalon.
While S class coupe is so big it almost he size of roll royce dawn.
Finally traded my 16 exl for a 18 exl in radiant red metallic with ivory leather. This car is sweet. Looks better and sitting inside now feels like your in a sport sedan. Turbo engine doesnt feel underpowered below 3000 rpm. All around just a better car than the 9th gen. I had two 9th gens. A 2013 exl and a 2016 exl. When people say they like the 9th gen more they are full of it. Dont miss any of my 9th gens one bit.
Boy you sure like car payments lol.
VTEC at lower rev used less fuel.....
I went n test drove a 2.0t sport today n loved it
oh god those taillights are straight hyundai
Jeffrey Kim mmm... Or Impreza maybe both
It looks like Honda just cut out part of the old Honda Accord front bumper to fit an intercooler. I understand it's necessary, but I feel like there is a more aesthetically pleasing solution to that
The San Marino exterior color is amazing !!! You will definitely be distinguished on the road !
This car with the 2.0 is the only way I'll be able to get my woman to drive a manual..and a type R or Focus RS, but who the hell has all that $$$$$
Type R is only $4k more than this car, I'm not sure what you mean
Lol thats what car notes are for lol
ShowTime Glo I will never go into debt on a depreciating asset again. I only save up and pay cash. If I can't pay for it, then I can't afford it. The prices are out of control on these new cars because of this payment plan mentality. Fuck banks
Shemar Nyelenkeh lol it is
That is called pro car review engineer . A lot of other car reviews channels just read the brochure or the info from website for you, like Siri.
Subaru is the other Japanese company that offers a manual in a sedan.
MotoGuide Not in the US for the Legacy.
Subaru makes several sedans, WRX, WRX STi, Impreza
Allen Ferdinand Those are small sedans. The Accords are a mid-size family sedan. I wish Legacy would have kept the manual tranny.
I thought subaru was canadian?
Ayman Nimer That’s funny. Canada does not have a car brand that is sold in US. They just manufacture for other car brands like GM, Toyota, Honda etc. which is not a Canadian brand.
I have a 2.0T. It's amazing! Well done Honda!
My interior rattles at low speeds from my dash tho. errr. help.
WOW! By far the nicest looking Honda to date IMO ;-)
You and KBB just posted at the same time... I don’t know who’s video to watch first 😅😭
Luvia Sama ikr
Here because at least he points out the good and bad unlike KBB.
Luvia Sama both are pretty much ads hahah
KBB has better editing and shooting but this dude's reviews are far better to me. He points the bad and the good stuff that you only notice and feel when you live with the car as a driver. To me, his reviews are far more important because he understands enthusiastic drivers as well.
I like how this guy does it.. and please stfu for those saying omg is an ad.. he’s just giving a fare review.. you want him to say oh is shit cuz it looks ugly.. prolly Camry owners
Extremely thorough review. Well done!
Tge front looks kinda good but good god the back looks like a soccer mom's Sedan.. The 2016-2017 looks waaaay better
I absolutely love my 2019 2.0T Sport. I'm extremely disappointed that Honda killed it for 2023. The 11th Gen Accord does nothing for me. I might have to hunt down a 2022 2.0T before they become extinct.
I have never owned a Camry or an Accord, and have thought all of this "car war" stuff was so stupid. I had my heart set on an 2018 Camry XSE, but went in-person and was somewhat underwhelmed. On a whim, we hit up a Honda dealership to check out a Touring 2.0T. We were absolutely blown away. Equal performance, more refined/mature/luxurious interior, and all at like $7k less the cost. I'm officially an Accord guy and can now see what all the fuss has been about...
Bruh! Still no panoramic sunroof on these Hondas?!?
FrankJDM they can't afford that. Lmao. Still waiting on remote start. Meanwhile my 2011 grand Cherokee has both stock lmao
They have them on the CRVs now
FrankJDM you can add it before buying and closing the deal on the car, just ask to add it and boom three days later custom accord
and on the civics
they do have remote start, you can even start the car with your phone from anywhere on the touring
THE DASH LOOKS LIKE THE MAZDA STYLE
N8DZN
which Mazda copied from an e60 bmw.
jmanyes no. Mazda fans think they created that tablet design and interior design. I still don’t like it that much. It’s still not as bad as the Mazda’s though.
The most interesting part is that Hondata did a stock dyno test of the 2.0T Accord and it actually made 266 horsepower and 292 lb-ft of torque at the wheels before any tuning. Makes me wonder what Honda is hiding.
This new Accord is really hot!!
It's a lot more reliable than an Audi would ever be.
Corey Tman if the Honda last longer then the Audi who’s really poor 💩
@Corey Theisen audi's pieces of shits. BMW eats up audis for breakfast. Bmw and HONDA are king of their german JAPANESE class
Truly an amazing car. I have owned it for exactly one month and after waking up this morning, I found it sitting in my apartment complex parking lot with the passenger side window broken out and all four rims missing. Buyer beware! This model is a highly sought-after vehicle for thieves.
you are 100%, I have seen this car getting robbed of all rims, I work insurance and this is really a problem
Honda always resides in top 5 stolen vehicles in the country. Accord has had the top spot on several occasions for theft. Wheel locks are a handy inexpensive tool.
I just bought one today a red San marino 2.0 sport Honda Accord and coming from a 2018 Lexus RX and a 2017 Lexus ES . I’m very impressed. It’s very quiet and all the safety features that a 62,000.00dollar car have. The only thing I wish that the feed from the road should be a little smoother like a Lexus ES . Then there will be no reason to buy a luxury car.
Good luck with turbo hell
Zaynoun Sunna'a good luck losing all that weight fat ass
I’m rockin an all black 2018 Sport 2.0t. Looooooovvvvvvvvve it.
Pure124 How much ? Is it automatic ?
