Hey! After making our video, we discovered there IS an easy way to deactivate the parking sensors. Directions pop up in the gauge cluster showing a button on the steering wheel that can be pressed to deactivate the sensors.
You have to buy this in a dark color, so that the front grill can be fairly hidden. If you buy a bright or white color, the front just looks like a Ford Taurus
Canyon River Blue is a new Accord color for 2023, and it's the color that's featured in the video. That color is hard to find at dealerships, but that color really looks nice once you see it in person.
I love the amount of work you put into this video. Your shots are so impressive and so much variation!! You can tell that you really enjoy what you do and it looks like a blast shooting all this footage. Out of all the 2023 accord reviews I’ve watched to date, I can safely say this one has the most passion put into it! If I were to ever do a car review I wouldn’t want it to look anything short of this. As a young aspiring filmmaker in college, this video inspires me to go out and shoot BEAUTIFUL footage. Give yourself a pat on the back man, you’re going places :)
Well, I have been reviewing cars forever for Kelley Blue Book. So I hopefully I've learned some stuff. :) But my wife (Evie) is the impressive one. She shoots and edits the videos for our channel. All credit goes her way. More importantly, I think RUclips is better when creators support and encourage each other. So, keep up the hard work learning how to make films!
I've said this before, but I turn 40 this year, and I would get one of these if I could swing it. It's the perfect vehicle for my Dad sensibilities - economical with just a touch of sportiness, practical, not overbearing in its design... and I deserve a car with ventilated seats, because I'm getting too old for swamp ass. So if anyone has an extra $40K burning a hole in their pocket, let me know.
If you want vents seats looks elsewhere cause Honda and Acura ones aren't great at all. They don't really cool you down period. It's very mild at best. This is coming from a Honda fan as well.
@@RRLV434 I wanted a K5 but went with the 22 Civic instead because I’m afraid the Kia boys won’t check the year of the vehicle before busting the windows
Hallo, Mr. Muzio. I appreciate your fun-family video-review of this beautiful car. I have had my 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid (EX-L) for two weeks, and I love it, both the design/styling and the powertrain.
13:01 Evie nails why the lack of hard buttons is a issue in general. Having to look before you poke takes your eyes off the road, whereas with hard buttons, after you've used them for a little while, you're able to operate them by feel and keep your eyes on the road. Stunningly, that fact is unknown to many car interior designers.
I would stay from the lower priced models with the 1.5 liter turbo engine because of oil dilation problems in colder climates. I can understand why Honda is going green with the hybrids but it's a shame they discontinued the amazing soulful 2.0 liter engine. Great video.
You can get a very well equipped sedan these days for a good price compared to trucks & suvs. The price of trucks & suvs keeps climbing and I feel the car market prices have stayed stagnant, which is nice.
Thanks! As candy/treats/ice cream for your daughter through the whole filming process. As a Mazda fan, I will await your other reviews in the interim. :)
I feared that once the Acura TLX went exclusively to the 2.0 Turbo / 10-Speed Auto that the Accord would lose the power train, and I think it is a bad mistake by Honda to not offer it. Especially when the Camry still offers a potent V6, and the Altima and Mazda 6 a Turbo option of their own.
The Mazda6 has been gone for like two years now but I agree Honda is dead wrong for dropping the 2.0t, if they had to drop it they should have offered a hybrid with similar power to the old 2.0t with the fuel economy of the hybrid. Honda cut costs in places on this new one too…no SiriusXM no adjustments for the rear headrest no ac vents or usb ports on trims that aren’t Exl or Touring trims, still no pano roof still no 360 camera etc…no fog lights either. It just feels less dynamic than the 10th gen.
@@RudePaul123 I know the Mazda 6 has not been around, we bought one of the last ones that was available in our area back in June 2021… but the previous gen Accord was a competitor as recent as that model year… that was my point. Is it true though that 6 is coming back? I read most likely with a more powerful engine as well… possibly more power than any of these other competitors. As for Honda… I 100% agree with everything you said. It’s really poor some of the choices they’ve been making as a manufacturer. Here’s another questionable move IMO: putting a large infotainment screen in this sedan yet they put a smaller screen in the new Pilot, a larger vehicle with more dash space to fill.
Rewatching this for like the 3rd time... 🤠 Do you have a "Top Ten of 2023" video or anything like that planned? Curious to really see models stacked up against each other (or like a @FootDoctorZach rating system for a more data oriented watcher...)
I would buy the new accord if it had an updated version of the 2.0T and a manual with an lsd. Never gonna happen so I'll keep my 2015 Accord EX-L V6 Coupe 6speed for a long time.
@@ThirdBrainLives I've owned this car for 7, I wasn't in the market for the last 6. I become "in the market " when something sparks my interest. So far.... nothing truly has.
2024 Hybrid Touring owner here. 2900 miles so far. I’m convinced Honda devoted very little in the way of engineering and resources to road noise and bumpy ride mitigation. While the 19” wheels may look good, you feel every single bump in the road because of them. The road noise, especially on concrete highways, is way louder than it should be. Think about that if you drive a lot of highway miles. Probably not the best choice. Unfortunately the 20-minute test drive was not enough to reveal the flaws. I’m considering buying a used Lexus and taking a loss
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No XM Radio (in the US) for some reason if you get one in Canada it comes with XM Radio, so Honda, there is no excuse. If a 2023 or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one. Hopefully, by the time 2025 comes around these glaring deficiencies will be resolved.
I’m currently driving a Subaru Outback. I like the awd but not the fuel economy. I’m a previous Accord owner but grew tired of road noise and interior rattles. How is road noise and did this tester have rattles? Thanks for such great content. I follow a lot of automotive journalists. You and Throttle House are my favorites. 😊
I've had Accords for about 30 years. This is the quietest one. Decibel reading is perhaps mid to high 50's. Put a decibel App on your phone and take a reading during a test drive.
Loved my 2021 accord sport, however the trunk was my biggest complaint in day to day activities, it wouldn’t open all the way! My 2015 dodge dart did. But from grocery shopping, having to store/remove stroller, the trunk not opening all the way like the new gen was very annoying to me.
"all I say is that my life is pretty plain...you don't like my point of view..and I'm insane" The bee talk put me over the edge....please explain that reference to your little one. One of my 1st cars was an Accord hatchback...don't imagine they still offer that?
Good video. Gotta say though, how is this (along with the Kia K5, Hyundai Sonata, etc.) still considered “mid sized”? These things are huge compared to what they were 20 years ago.
Curious though…is the new 25 civic hybrid actually faster? Why can’t we make options that are little sporty and a little engaging. I don’t mind hybrid but they need some dad options. We’re running out. Shape and roofline is fine, agree solid/brawy looking especially in urban grey. But sheep metal needs some flare.
I love the family sedan market but they have gotten way too big. Why does the Accord need to be almost 196" long? One, of two, reasons for selling my Camry is was too big at 191". The previous gen Accord was 192". I think a lot of space is wasted in the name of style.
Just put $500 down to hold my Urban Grey Pearl Sport-L! The only downsides is that the Sport-L doesn't get the parking sensors, mirror turn signals and no vents or USB ports for the rear... I think that's a miss! They DO include those on the EX-L, but that model doesn't give you the sport look and drops down the wheel size. So pros and cons to both I suppose. The only thing I would REALLY want in the Sport-L is the parking sensors, the rest I am not super concerned with.
@@truckercowboyed2638 At that price, one could easily move up to an Acura or Cadillac CT5. This new Accord is too expensive for a mainstream, non-luxury, brand.
@@yoshiakik.5332 Yeah, expensive and boring AF. I can tell you that the loaded V6 Accords of before were a bargain once you realize what they could do when pushed,,,,, and you had a respectable looking car when you just wanted to take-it-easy.
Glamorous, exciting Bakersfield! 🤠 I like the new Accord. When it first was released so many people commenting in reviews would say "It looks like a Taurus" and lament how it was a step down from the previous year. I don't think so at all. Yeah, its too bad the 2.0t is gone. Still, for a midsize sedan its just about perfect except for one huge omission - no rear AC vents except on the Touring Hybrid or EX-L Hybrid. The EX gas engine and Sport Hybrid should absolutely have something so basic.
It's not a Taurus look-alike. Honda is trying to copy the gorgeous A7, but they can't get the lines right or do it sub 50k. Audi and Porsche have the best industrial design. Plenty of car manufacturers tried to emulate the A7 since it's first iteration. It was the progenitor of the modern fastback coupe style. Instead of able to copy the lines and sexy looks, all these other manufacturers end up making low-rent facsimiles. The new Accord is no exception. It's ok looking, but I prefer the previous generation Accord as it was more original and not a copy of a more expensive car.
Our kiddo gets a lot of exposure to our shooting and editing processes. By the time she's an adult she'll either be running our channel or want nothing to do with RUclips ever again. :)
Another great video Micah. I know that the 2023 Accord style has gotten mixed reviews so far, and I had my reservations, but it's starting to grow on me, especially in the Sport and Touring trims. The top spec Touring trim is well equipped and feels very luxurious. It makes me question why anyone would buy a luxury branded vehicle when you could save money by just purchasing a top spec version of a mainstream car like the Accord.
As a life long fan of Honda, I’m really not liking these newer cars. Between the body styles, cvt transmissions. I think Mazda and Toyota is what I’d buy brand new.
Does the Accord still have the sport mode? My 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring does and it nicely improves the acceleration and firms up the dampers so corners can be taken much faster. It also gets better gas mileage than the new one.
boooooo. great review my brother but I'm still in love with my 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo 6 SPEED MANUAL. if i could have one thing from the 2023 version into my 2018 will be the full screen cluster display, other than that there’s nothing else i would change about my car
Excellent vid and review. I'm a big honda fan, not a huge fan of the whale-like nose of this 11th Gen Accord. Additionally many manufacturers seem to have done away with fog lights, a cost-cutting measure which is a shame they looked good and served a purpose. Overall (excluding the lack of passenger seat adjustments your wife explained), the interior seems really nice. The naturally aspirated EX lacks the leather wrapped steering wheel, looks much nicer with the proper leather wrapped wheel in this trim.
The new body style is the most used looking new car I've ever seen. Looks like it was designed for Facebook Marketplace to be hassled with low ball offers.
Honda has already said that this one will help buyers transition to an electric model for gen 12, that’s why 4 of the 6 trims are hybrids. Honda would be on crack if they discontinued the Accord or Civic. Both cars have been around 50 years or close to it and brand equity in the names alone is worth keeping them around. They may evolve (the have before in prior gens when they started as hatches and even offered wagons in the 70s 80s and 90s) so they may become crossover like but they aren’t going away.
I think the Stalin could have been a lot better wasn't a big fan of it but I saw it in person and I actually looked at it it does look better in person it grew on me but the style could have been a little better.
Complaining about the disappearance of the 2.0T! On a side note, the Accord has a 12" infotainment in the top trims, but the new Pilot maxes out at 9". Weird.
I like the family focus reviews. One thing I thought you'd mention that can be important for kids in the back, is AC. Another thing is cloth seats. And this is where this year's accord is frustrating me. Like you said, it has more room than the CRV which is good for kids in the back. But the hybrid only comes with rear AC if you get the ex version with leather seats! ("EX L"). What the heck honda! And that they haven't figured out, like toyota has, how to put their batteries wherever without using the spare tire space - very frustrating. It's like they designed all these great features - better than toyota - EXCEPT when they got to the battery they just went lazy and put in where the spare goes. (Did that in the CRV too). So I might get the rav 4 or the camry hybrid, even though i don't like the interiors on toyotas. at least they have rear ac and a spare tire.
This and the tenth generation are such good looking cars they would make for a handsome coupe or convertible. It’s a shame Honda stopped making Accord coupés.
No full size spare in the trunk means less protection for a rear colision. A tire is stronger than 22 gauge aluminum. Kid riding in the back is dead apon impact. Then a psycho killer might kill me if I have a flat stuck on side of the road with no spare tire. I could make a horror movie about new cars. Death traps, electronic throttle, electronic steering. Id rather ride a horse.
I am ABSOLUTELY in LOOOVE with this new Accord. Its design is so beautiful with an air of elegance thats more commonly found in higher liner, far more expensive luxury cars. I love how they cleaned up the design; the fast back styling from the previous generation I loved. This new Accord further accentuates this fastback design theme to a pleasing extreme. It looks like an Audi A7 (which I LOVE), however, I love this new Accords design even better than the Audi A7. This new Accords design is cleaner, sexy, more elegant, with a splash of brawniness to it; very sporty looking. Yes, I am sad the more powerful 2.0 liter turbo is no longer offered; with its excellent power ratings of 252 horsepower, and 273 Lb Ft of torque. However, this new Accords power train impresses me; with 204 horsepower and 247 lb Ft of torque; enough power to propel it from 0-60 mph in just 6.6 -7.0 seconds . All the while achieving EPA numbers of 46 mpg in the city, and 41mpg on the highway. What's not to love. Also, it's a Honda Accord; the benchmark ! I want to buy one. Absolutely just LOVE it !
@@timothywood4972 it gave the Accord a BMW 5 Series look to it especially the dash layout. They did a great thing then. This is 😪, but I love that they driving handling is great for such a large car.
@@ashrick718Well, we all have different tastes; that’s what it’s all about , right ? I noticed you mentioned “the driving handling is great for such a large car”; did you buy a new 2023 Accord ? I’d love to pick your brain about the driving dynamics ?
Hey the mean streets of Bakersfield! I’m seeing Passat’s bland front fascia in that Accord. It’s boring and safe. I hope it will have a better fate than a Passat though.

I’m curious how much of a family event the filming is lol. I mean, by the time Micah’s daughter is a teenager, she will have tried hundreds of cars…
Our kiddo gets a lot of exposure to our shooting and editing processes. By the time she's an adult she'll either be running our channel or want nothing to do with RUclips ever again. :)
The best part about the accord is that once the next gen Camry comes in, the accord will be even less boring than the Camry
that makes no sense 😂 get a life trollie
@@tinhinnhor you just can't read dummy ..it makes perfect sense
how does the cabin and road noise at speed compare to the Subaru Outback Wilderness?
Great review
That lil' volume knob is like a lil' Space Bee!
Another great video Micah. I know that the 2023 Accord style has gotten mixed reviews so far, and I had my reservations, but it's starting to grow on me, especially in the Sport and Touring trims. The top spec Touring trim is well equipped and feels very luxurious. It makes me question why anyone would buy a luxury branded vehicle when you could save money by just purchasing a top spec version of a mainstream car like the Accord.
Because it’s not the same thing. While I like Honda, there’s NOTHING luxury about it.
As a life long fan of Honda, I’m really not liking these newer cars. Between the body styles, cvt transmissions. I think Mazda and Toyota is what I’d buy brand new.
Does the Accord still have the sport mode? My 2018 Accord Hybrid Touring does and it nicely improves the acceleration and firms up the dampers so corners can be taken much faster. It also gets better gas mileage than the new one.
I have a 2024 hybrid accord, and yes it has a sports mode
boooooo. great review my brother but I'm still in love with my 2018 accord with the 2.0 turbo 6 SPEED MANUAL. if i could have one thing from the 2023 version into my 2018 will be the full screen cluster display, other than that there’s nothing else i would change about my car
Will Honda brings 2.0T accord next year?
Is this the same 1.5 turbo that had the oil dilution problems in previous CRVS?
I've watched a lot of your reviews and I'm still not totally sure of the meaning of the % outboard / inboard for the arm rests. What does it mean?
How comfortable it is on his elbows/arms. 100% is the best. 😊
@@Billybobthor ohh 😅 for some reason I thought it was how much of his arm was resting on the things
I like that traditional power gauge
Excellent vid and review. I'm a big honda fan, not a huge fan of the whale-like nose of this 11th Gen Accord. Additionally many manufacturers seem to have done away with fog lights, a cost-cutting measure which is a shame they looked good and served a purpose. Overall (excluding the lack of passenger seat adjustments your wife explained), the interior seems really nice. The naturally aspirated EX lacks the leather wrapped steering wheel, looks much nicer with the proper leather wrapped wheel in this trim.
The new body style is the most used looking new car I've ever seen. Looks like it was designed for Facebook Marketplace to be hassled with low ball offers.
I am convinced that this is going to be the last generation of Accord before they discontinue it.
Lol Honda sells 25k Accords every month.
Honda has already said that this one will help buyers transition to an electric model for gen 12, that’s why 4 of the 6 trims are hybrids. Honda would be on crack if they discontinued the Accord or Civic. Both cars have been around 50 years or close to it and brand equity in the names alone is worth keeping them around. They may evolve (the have before in prior gens when they started as hatches and even offered wagons in the 70s 80s and 90s) so they may become crossover like but they aren’t going away.
My sister had a 2013 ford fusion and if u look real fast at the front it looks like that gen.. esp the grill.. just do a fast glance u will see
The new Honda Accord… a car for the anonymous family
Any new features being added as compared to 2022 Touring?
Should have kept the last design with an upgraded interior
the front was fine, the back needed a change
Where was this review filmed?
I think the Stalin could have been a lot better wasn't a big fan of it but I saw it in person and I actually looked at it it does look better in person it grew on me but the style could have been a little better.
Nice car but don't like CVTs and that a deal breaker
You can predownload offline google maps for your area. This should make having embedded nav less of a need.
Complaining about the disappearance of the 2.0T! On a side note, the Accord has a 12" infotainment in the top trims, but the new Pilot maxes out at 9". Weird.
Sweetie looks underwhelmed and I think she misses her Bronco 😊
I like the family focus reviews.
One thing I thought you'd mention that can be important for kids in the back, is AC. Another thing is cloth seats. And this is where this year's accord is frustrating me.
Like you said, it has more room than the CRV which is good for kids in the back. But the hybrid only comes with rear AC if you get the ex version with leather seats! ("EX L"). What the heck honda!
And that they haven't figured out, like toyota has, how to put their batteries wherever without using the spare tire space - very frustrating. It's like they designed all these great features - better than toyota - EXCEPT when they got to the battery they just went lazy and put in where the spare goes. (Did that in the CRV too).
So I might get the rav 4 or the camry hybrid, even though i don't like the interiors on toyotas. at least they have rear ac and a spare tire.
No ventilated Seats are true????
That's pity 😅😅😅
The lack of seat height adjustment is just weird.
Honda puts the cost cutting where you can see it while Hyundai/Kia hide it in the engine/transmission/electrical. Choose your poison.
I’ve never been in a passenger seat with height adjustment 🫣
@@touch2ndgen buy a volvo
@@edhcb9359 I choose neither and a lack of seat height adjustment isn't cost cutting...its freaking cheap
@@touch2ndgen Subaru legacy limited. Much more comfortable car with a 8 way passenger seat
This and the tenth generation are such good looking cars they would make for a handsome coupe or convertible. It’s a shame Honda stopped making Accord coupés.
And it would make a terrific station wagon.
Those interior grill seems like an auto detailers nightmare.
Great video even better location in Bakersfield California🎉
You know your Bakersfield!
Hopefully this crude exterior will grow on me.
It’s very uninspiring
I think a mid-cycle refresh could potentially make this car's exterior a lot more attractive with just small changes.
Someone knows about after market parte for the accord 2023 lx ???? Please
I kinda like the looks of the old Accord more. This new one is a little dull to me.
Don’t worry it will probably grow on you. People say the same thing every generation.
I'm ok with a simple design, but I think Honda overstepped the line and is firmly on the generic and bland side of things with this model.
@@cgatito3528theyre putting all their eggs into cuv’s apparently
No full size spare in the trunk means less protection for a rear colision. A tire is stronger than 22 gauge aluminum. Kid riding in the back is dead apon impact. Then a psycho killer might kill me if I have a flat stuck on side of the road with no spare tire. I could make a horror movie about new cars. Death traps, electronic throttle, electronic steering. Id rather ride a horse.
Where is the XM radio. I only listen to satellite radio and shows?
how is a vehicle almost 5 metres long a small vehicle??
I am ABSOLUTELY in LOOOVE with this new Accord. Its design is so beautiful with an air of elegance thats more commonly found in higher liner, far more expensive luxury cars. I love how they cleaned up the design; the fast back styling from the previous generation I loved. This new Accord further accentuates this fastback design theme to a pleasing extreme. It looks like an Audi A7 (which I LOVE), however, I love this new Accords design even better than the Audi A7. This new Accords design is cleaner, sexy, more elegant, with a splash of brawniness to it; very sporty looking. Yes, I am sad the more powerful 2.0 liter turbo is no longer offered; with its excellent power ratings of 252 horsepower, and 273 Lb Ft of torque. However, this new Accords power train impresses me; with 204 horsepower and 247 lb Ft of torque; enough power to propel it from 0-60 mph in just 6.6 -7.0 seconds . All the while achieving EPA numbers of 46 mpg in the city, and 41mpg on the highway. What's not to love. Also, it's a Honda Accord; the benchmark ! I want to buy one. Absolutely just LOVE it !
it’s as elegant as a 2009 Honda Accord …
@@ashrick718 When that 2009 generation Honda Accord was released completely restyled for 2008; I loved that one too.
@@timothywood4972 it gave the Accord a BMW 5 Series look to it especially the dash layout. They did a great thing then.
This is 😪, but I love that they driving handling is great for such a large car.
@@ashrick718Well, we all have different tastes; that’s what it’s all about , right ? I noticed you mentioned “the driving handling is great for such a large car”; did you buy a new 2023 Accord ? I’d love to pick your brain about the driving dynamics ?
@@timothywood4972 I tested it while my car was being serviced. It’s nice!
Love ya Micah
new honda hybrids got some issues they’re going through lawsuits. the hybrid system drops to safe mode 25MPH while driving on highway.
All Hondas since 2018 have issues. Millions of recalled vehicles on the road.
Honda missed the mark on this one
Hey the mean streets of Bakersfield! I’m seeing Passat’s bland front fascia in that Accord. It’s boring and safe. I hope it will have a better fate than a Passat though.
I like the looks.
