Just in case no one knew, what’s even easier than the break hold, sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, is having the car on cruise control with the assistive driving features on. As you come up on a car, your car slows down, and as that car takes off, so does your car. If the car in front of your stops, so will your car, and if your car is stopped for longer than roughly 5 seconds or so, you’ll have to simply and lightly tap the gas and it’ll take back off again still being in cruise control. By far one is my most favorite FEATURES.
Glad you are loving your car. These Accords are pretty amazing, especially for the money. I just picked up a brand new (6 miles on odometer) 2018 model today. They had it discounted to move and just couldn't pass up the deal. It was a Sport 2.0T model, but I'm very excited. I didn't care it wasn't a 2019 model. I saved money and same car.
Don’t forget the windows feature. Hold your unlock button for 3 seconds and all windows will roll down and sunroof will open. If you put the key in the drivers door and turn it to the left and hold for 3 seconds all the windows will roll back up without you having to turn your car on 🙂
Agreed. I bought the CR-V EX and am really happy with it. The only downside and not a big deal for me is that the Apple CarPlay has connectivity issues in both the '18 Accord and CR-V. discussions.apple.com/message/33469492#33469492
+MoNo K -- I don't know, but lots of '18 Accord owners on the Apple and Honda forums are complaining about CarPlay issues. I'd assume that maybe with the newer Honda head units, software/hardware conflicts are occurring and will continue until Apple/Honda find a fix. Btw, that '16 EX-L is a nice ride. When I bought my CR-V, I was also considering a used '16 Accord Touring V6 with less than 12k miles. Price was too high, so I went with the '18 CRV. Man, ONE week after I bought the CRV the same dealer lowered the price on the Touring $1500. Grrrrrr! Oh well, I have no regrets as I love my CRV with its little turbo 4-banger. lol. Again, I'm not stressing about the CarPlay....just extremely happy with Honda quality and resale value.
I have the 2019 EX version and because I'm old school I find it hard to relinquish some of my control over to the car, even though I know it's likely not to fail me. So everywhere I drive, it's a back and forth dance between my skill as a driver and a moment here in there where I allow the car to do something that I've done countless times on my own. Each time I hold my breath slightly and hope it doesn't fail me. How exciting it is to lock onto the car in front of me and know that if that car where to suddenly brake, my car would apply the brakes as well. We are all distracted drivers, a moment here, a moment there when you are looking somewhere other than straight ahead. This safety-net feature is by far the most impressive to me. I'm not sure how much of this was available on the 2018 models.
Just FYI, around the instrument cluster, the lights that change back and forth from green to white represent how your driving is affecting your mpg. Give it a little gas and it starts to turn from green to white, let off the gas and it goes back to green. The greener it is the better your doing for mpg.
BTW, you can add remote start just by purchasing the accord key fob (for EX) which has the remote starter button on it. Of course you have to have it programmed , also. Lots of videos on you tube about that. Just did that for my 2020.
Got this 3 months back and have about 6k miles on it and gotta tell ya, absolutely in love with the car. My drive is an hour everyday and the comfortable level of this car is phenomenal.
I just bought the 1.5 turbo Honda Accord 2021. The 1.5 turbo had enough power and great acceleration for me. The car is comfortable and spacious and it looks good.
Thanks for taking time out ⌚ to do the video! 💯 I am considering on buying a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0t Sport and your review is helping me to solidify it. Thank you kindly! God bless! 😇
I bought the 2L Sport 5 days ago. It pulls and is quicker than the 2017 V6. I’ve blew a few of the 2017’s out on the highway because they speed up as soon as they notice I’m in the newer model. This car has more torque. Can anybody say butt hurt? I’ve always wanted a 2L turbo. It’s quick, solid and handles nice. I’m all about forward thinking. This car has it.
I just purchased this car the same color as yours and I love it. I most love the look of the vehicle and the comfort of the seats but all things you mentioned are my favorites as well. The salesman at my local Honda dealership did a great job explaining all features and that made my buying decision for me. Oh and don't forget the lane keeping assist and lane departure are awesome as well.
Hi man I’m considering to buy the exact same car at around 80k to 100k mile. I’d appreciate if you can share your experience over the year with the car. Thanks
I recently bought an Accord Sport 1.5t CVT and you need to know that the seats are "vinyl" and cloth. No biggie (leather) to me, the vinyl is nice, looks like leather, and actually should hold up very well. BTW: if you don't believe me.... stop by any car interior shop and they'll set you straight. Thanks.
No doubt that this car won many awards because of its style, features, cost, engine, fuel efficiency, space and room, etc. I read several blogs and articles where the comparison was made between new 2018 Accord VS Camry, VS Passat, VS Altima, VS Mazda 6 and even VS Audi A4, Accord beats all of these in so many different ways. You can easily find these articles online with simple google search. Some really exceptional features I like in my new 2018 Accord EX is the large LED 8" screen where you can connect (1) Android or apple car play. This feature is still lagged in camry. I use samsung and my wife uses iphone, it works perfectly for us. You can connect both phones at USB and can toggle between them. The best part i have noticed with android auto while using directions that the directions come on your left side Tachometer for the next turn with name of the street, or how many feets away, which is just perfect, you do not have to even look at the large screen displaying your google maps. With the use of android auto or apple car play there is no need to pay $1K or more for the navigation, use Google maps, Waze or Apple maps. 2) I noticed in your 2018 sport model that in your keyfob there is no auto start button, which we have in our EX, where you can remotely start the car from away to either make it cold in summer or warmer in winters. 3) I love all the features of honda sensing which are standard across all models. One of the best safety features in its class. 4) I love the 3 modes of camera view available while reversing, the best is the wide view to give the best or maximum visibility. And with the feature of anything moving or coming towards the car from rear, even if a person is walking it beeps and shows visible sign. 5) I really like the feature for having able to lock your glovebox where you can keep all your valuables and just remove the key from the fob if parking valet or any other place. 6) Fuel efficiency, I drove on expressway in the speed range of 67-73 constantly while going towards tampa from miami, i got up to 46 mpg (not kidding), that was amazing. I commonly see 40 to 41 mpg when I drive from miami to ft lauderdale. Thats a big jump in fuel efficiency in accords from previous models. 7) The left side tachometer can be fully customized, you can make it fully digital, it even displays the next track which is now on, radio channel, etc. I also like the digital speed which comes up when you set cruise control, which many cars still do not show. The features I really miss or I wish were there on this car, which are pretty much standard on some other cars and models : 1) The bird view camera, it's so common that almost every other car now has it. This could have been just the part of standard in accord along with all the other features. 2) Turn signals on side view mirrors, it just adds an extra plus to have them, which is also standard among other cars. 3) Although all the accord models have dual exhausts but only sport and touring get the exhaust chrome tip right embedded below in the rear bumper, it would have been really nice to make this feature standard or on EX as well. 4) The push start/ stop button has a very odd position, it comes more below and sometimes your right knee rubs against it, which is sometimes annoying. 5) It would be nicer to have puddle lights or door lights when the doors are opened. 6) auto rearview mirror with compass. 7) The speakers appear to be below par, I mean they do not have a good sound quality, forget any bass at all in speakers. Really disappointed with speakers. Please share comments on any other nice and new features that you may have noticed or found out in these new models or a bad feature or something you really wish that these cars should have had.
Miko I’m getting close to 24 mostly 50/50 highway and side streets if you drive it in sport your getting less. It thirsty man. But it cost less to fill up than my wife’s 2.4 liter Camry. I only drive sport mode to take off out of junctions and for passing sometimes.
Tyrone Power you can pass ppl on normal mode ? For having so much torque ?? 24 half and half seems about right I guess , ppl get barely like 22 or less
I just love how you give your opinion regarding the car giving it a consumer taste. Still waiting for this car to come here in the Philippines. Kudos for your review! 👌
Five things I love about my 2018 Accord Touring 2.0T - 1) Automatic wipers, 2) brake hold assist, 3) Head up display, 4), full LED headlights, 5) remote start via my iPhone HondaLink app. More to love. Don't care much for the cooled seats, they really don't blow much cool air, automatic navigation directions, no way to permanently turn off.
Actually you're better off holding the brake pedal down with your left foot and holding the accelerator down with your right foot when drag racing. This won't work with the brake hold engaged.
I love everything that you mentioned although I knew about them lol but I couldn’t help but wondering why you didn’t mention The most important feature of all Honda sensing? What I’d like to see if you decide to make another video is a demonstration on how Honda sensing works. Since you’re in your car most of the time there’s a few personal things I would like to know: 1. (Honda sensing)I know how it works but could you give a demonstration? 2. (Audio system) How does the system sound I know it’s 180 watts 8 speaker sound system. 3. (Automatic high beams) how do you turn the feature on? Or does the feature come automatically set? 4. Have you had any problems with your rims, and tires on the Sport? This is my first time watching your videos I enjoyed it, and I felt like you were very passionate about your likes and what meant the most to you.
Definitely a great car for the money, sedan sales are slowing due to SUV sales in the US, but Honda continues to improve the Accord. IMO, this is the best generation of Accord yet. I have the 2.0T Sport, after more than a year of ownership, I enjoy driving it just as much now as day one. Good to see people making RUclips videos about the 10th Gen Accord, it really doesn't get enough attention.
Those things are very insignificant to me. I sure hope the engine and drivetrain make you happy! When you are older you will appreciate a bulky key fob! It makes you look like more than you got! Thanks for the video!
The key/remote is same as the 2013 model, and yes, it is pocket-friendly. However, just came across a recent video where the guy programmed another oem key with remote-start button on it and yep, that actually worked without even opting for the same from the dealer.
Very fine review. I love the exact same things that you like about this car, such as the different buttons, colored lighting, etc. Good to know it's not just me.
I like my 2017 Accord Sport but I do miss what I had prior (Mercedes C300). I miss the comfort of the drive. Suspension is much better than the Honda but I had to go back to something that is reliable. Thought about going with an Audi next but not sure. Now, my '17 Accord didn't come with LED lights and it's the one thing I did change. Much better with LED lights.
The car is smart. The brake hold works really well. But, if something was to make the car move such as a big car passing by that shakes the ground, the car will go from break hold to automatic e brake. You will then have to unlock it from that point.
What makes me nervous is the Honda sensing in the 2019 version, I have the EX. It keeps a space between you and the car in front of you and if the car in front of you applies the brakes, you will too. My car will approach stopped traffic so quickly and automatically apply the brakes. It works beautifully but there are times I'm going so fast that I don't want to trust that the brakes are going to automatically apply at the last second so I always end up braking on my own. 😄 I just can't trust it. I now realize there's no way that I could relax in a self-driving car.
It looks great with tinted windows, I still do not know if I want this in your silver color or in blue. I feel like the silver shows the detail of the body more.
10/10 car to be honest, one thing honda’s innovation could have done with the break hold is press the brake all the way down and break hold will activate where are pressing the button just for easier access
Great video! I just recently bought 2014 accord coupe & I love it. It's a great upgrade from my 2011 accord sedan. I might make a video on it lol. I gotta say though, that break hold feature is AMAZING. I would love to have it.
I'm getting one of these tomorrow. Wish ppl posted how much they paid out the door. It would make it easier for us potential buyers. When I get my price I will post it for those looking to buy
Secret : Remote start is on all models. Just buy the key fob and have your dealer program it to your car. The features I like is the lane keep assist standard. The features I don’t like is the missing break lights on the trunk lid. Only lights up the bottom portion. I also don’t like that there’s is no trunk button and that the trunk release on the key doesn’t work with engine on. I also don’t like the water build up behind the gas cap door. I don’t like the side view mirrors extremely big blind spots on driver side.
I can't stand CVT's they are a crutch for higher mpg's. With the 10 speed I get 28 mpg combo of about 50/50 city and country backroads. Went down to LA a couple of weeks ago didn't go under 80 through the grapevine 350 mile round trip and still got 32 mpg. Plus the 2.0 is just plain quick, Love how it breaks the tires loose at 20 mph you can't do that in a CVT.
got the same care seen another post that if u get the oem key for the 2018 ex model with auto start if u get it programmed your car will automatically have auto start apparently its built in but the dealership wont let u know they will try to get over on you to get u to pay for that i just ordered the oem remote with auto start going to get it programmed this week n have auto start for a fraction of the cost.
Poor newer Accord owners. They’ll never know the glory of that amazing sounding 3.5 V6, nor stock 5.0 second 0-60 times. Performance has retracted in the new Accord.
Arun Kumar car and Driver says 7.3. I don’t care what elevation or who was driving, that’ll never get down to 5.0. Even the 2.0T only pops a 5.7. The older car was the better car. I’m willing to give you the fact that this car is vastly superior in looks and content and it isn’t even close. Honda could generate a lot of interest in this car and help its struggling sales by dropping in a. V6 or push that turbo to put out 290hp. Honda may pull one over the general public, but hardcore Honda fans have definitely taken notice of the retractions in performance and other key specs in models like the Accord, Pilot, etc.
Large ICE’s days are numbered and people are starting to care less. Even Dodge recently came out and said the future of the Challenger doesn’t have a V8 in it and that they need to look to the future. 1.5 is a nice engine. Tesla’s are smoking the fastest ICE’s on the strip. People are going for looks now and efficiency. Welcome to the future. Let people enjoy what they are happy with.
Tyrone Power you’re all over the map with your comments and I can assure you that when it comes to performance car shoppers they don’t care about efficiency. The bottom line is, the car is gorgeous, but it’s a step down in performance specs. That very trade off did not result in anything noteworthy efficiency wise.
You are a Timex watch in a digital age you are. Coming on here talking about what people are missing out on, people in general don’t care about loud large engines. They want something that looks nice for cheap and isn’t unnecessary. It simply isn’t necessary to have a 3.7 V6. It’s always about saving money, eventually shrinking the engine till it’s partnered with an EV one, then phased out. The efficiency comes with spending less at the pump and the car going a good distance on $30 bucks. I can assure you, people care about this . Any car over 300HP is useless, people also realize this( How fast do you wanna get to the traffic lights? ) that’s why they have been buying cross overs in their droves in the US. Nobody cares if you are nostalgic to the roar of an ICE and almost no one will care about this in 20 years. The smaller 1.5 engine is justified. Good riddance to the unnecessary engines.
Car Craze No surprise there since luxury vehicle always get the latest technology first before it trickles down to the “lesser” cars. But yes, 12 years IS a long time for the auto hold feature to show up in the Accord.
Im in love with this car I have a 98 Camry right now but I know people at the local honda dealership that'll help me when I have some money saved up..I want the 2.0L sport
Nice video! I appreciate the different approach. The arm rest and key fob observations might have made my mind up. I was wondering, what is the color called on yours? Also, did you add any options on top of the standard items?
Do you know that if you buy a key fob for the LX model and have it programmed for your 2018 or 2018 Sport model it will have auto start. The Sport model has it, there just isn't a button for it on the key fob.
Cuberittt FYI - they also have a way to program the original fob. Once it’s programmed you just push the lock button 3x and it starts. There is a you tube video showing a company called extreme audio that does it.
I’m waiting for the Altima. Better looking, better looking tail lights, all wheel drive!, curvy exterior, looks like Lexus meets Audi......you can’t go wrong with the upcoming Altima.
What made you get this over the civic? And then at that point why the 1.5T over the 2.0T? Prospective buyer myself - great video. This would be my first new car. Why did you get this car overall? Commuter, family, space?
Emilio Sánchez I bought this car for the reliability gas mileage and size civic is too small 1.5 has plenty of power if I want my car to be really fast I’ll buy a car that’s supposed to be fast
I just picked up the 2.0T Touring last week! These cars are absolutely amazing! How’d you get the Tachometer and fuel range on the same screen? I’m still learning day by day what features there are.
Nice car. And yeah brake hold has been around for a long time. I had a 2001 bmw that had it, so it's at least that old, not sure when car makers first released it, bit definitely a useful feature.
Very underrated car, I see more Camrys than this Accord. But when I do see one, it’s pretty eye catching to say the least. From a non car guys perspective, it can look like a 4 door coupe luxury car.
The One thing that I love about my Honda is that IT IS A HONDA !! 😉😁

I agree with you I think that’s one of the best features
SharpElite1991 I agree. Relying on DA constantly like that in traffic is asking for it and is stupid.
I did that with my wife in the car and she freaked out. Best laugh ever.
Omg that freaked me out the first time lol

@@nanb4034 find a Honda dealer near you and check their online inventory to see if they have any 2019 models left.
@@nanb4034 depending on how you negotiate and the model you want. I got 2.5k off the MSRP.
Don’t forget the windows feature. Hold your unlock button for 3 seconds and all windows will roll down and sunroof will open. If you put the key in the drivers door and turn it to the left and hold for 3 seconds all the windows will roll back up without you having to turn your car on 🙂
I have the 2018 Accord Sport 1.5 and tried the unlock for 3 seconds and my windows did nothing? I think it might be on higher level trims?
Cogito Ergo Zoom - Well, could be for the Accords. I have a 2018 CR-V LX and it works for mine. Ask your dealer about it.
Cogito Ergo Zoom should work on all trims. You have to press (doors unlock), release, then you press and hold (all windows will come down)
Thanks, I'll try that.

Some really exceptional features I like in my new 2018 Accord EX is the large LED 8" screen where you can connect (1) Android or apple car play. This feature is still lagged in camry. I use samsung and my wife uses iphone, it works perfectly for us. You can connect both phones at USB and can toggle between them.

3) Although all the accord models have dual exhausts but only sport and touring get the exhaust chrome tip right embedded below in the rear bumper, it would have been really nice to make this feature standard or on EX as well.
4) The push start/ stop button has a very odd position, it comes more below and sometimes your right knee rubs against it, which is sometimes annoying.
5) It would be nicer to have puddle lights or door lights when the doors are opened.
6) auto rearview mirror with compass.
7) The speakers appear to be below par, I mean they do not have a good sound quality, forget any bass at all in speakers. Really disappointed with speakers.
Please share comments on any other nice and new features that you may have noticed or found out in these new models or a bad feature or something you really wish that these cars should have had.
Puddle lights are an option. I got them for free as part of my deal on my 1.5t Sport 6mt.
took the words out my mouth lol thats facts dude, i go for the interior too more than the exterior because its what I'm gone be looking at.
They need to really include moonroofs on sport models !!
Randy Jackson really ? Nice !!
Boe Dillard I’m pretty sure the Lx doesn’t come with moonroof
I think all Sport models should come standard with a sunroof, trunk release on outside, and smart keyless entry...
O'Melly M they do in Canada
Chris Carrera Yes they doo
Dude, I love my 2018 Sport 1.5. I want to get the 2.0 Sport just cause. I still get heads turning my way, haha.
Shmokyo stay with 1.5 I have the 2.0, it’s thirsty but still I love it. That extra horse power is definitely appreciated though.
Both are amazing cars. Honestly for real world use, the 1.5T is plenty fast enough and good gas mileage.
Tyrone Power what are you averaging?
Miko I’m getting close to 24 mostly 50/50 highway and side streets if you drive it in sport your getting less. It thirsty man. But it cost less to fill up than my wife’s 2.4 liter Camry. I only drive sport mode to take off out of junctions and for passing sometimes.
Tyrone Power you can pass ppl on normal mode ? For having so much torque ?? 24 half and half seems about right I guess , ppl get barely like 22 or less
I just love how you give your opinion regarding the car giving it a consumer taste.
Still waiting for this car to come here in the Philippines. Kudos for your review! 👌
You bought it online?
Five things I love about my 2018 Accord Touring 2.0T - 1) Automatic wipers, 2) brake hold assist, 3) Head up display, 4), full LED headlights, 5) remote start via my iPhone HondaLink app. More to love. Don't care much for the cooled seats, they really don't blow much cool air, automatic navigation directions, no way to permanently turn off.
Lesson learned, Brake hold is really goos for drag races.
Actually you're better off holding the brake pedal down with your left foot and holding the accelerator down with your right foot when drag racing. This won't work with the brake hold engaged.
I have an LX which has most of these features. I agree with your comments. Well engineered.
Super cool interior, and exterior.
This is the Honda sports I’m about to get been thinking about it for years now
I love everything that you mentioned although I knew about them lol but I couldn’t help but wondering why you didn’t mention The most important feature of all Honda sensing?
What I’d like to see if you decide to make another video is a demonstration on how Honda sensing works.
Since you’re in your car most of the time there’s a few personal things I would like to know:
1. (Honda sensing)I know how it works but could you give a demonstration?
2. (Audio system) How does the system sound I know it’s 180 watts 8 speaker sound system.
3. (Automatic high beams) how do you turn the feature on? Or does the feature come automatically set?
4. Have you had any problems with your rims, and tires on the Sport?
This is my first time watching your videos I enjoyed it, and I felt like you were very passionate about your likes and what meant the most to you.
Definitely a great car for the money, sedan sales are slowing due to SUV sales in the US, but Honda continues to improve the Accord. IMO, this is the best generation of Accord yet. I have the 2.0T Sport, after more than a year of ownership, I enjoy driving it just as much now as day one. Good to see people making RUclips videos about the 10th Gen Accord, it really doesn't get enough attention.
Those things are very insignificant to me. I sure hope the engine and drivetrain make you happy! When you are older you will appreciate a bulky key fob! It makes you look like more than you got! Thanks for the video!
I have a 09 accord sport and I can’t wait to upgrade to the 18 or 19 accord sport 🔥
You did great on your first review btw, love it
Just bought one the same color last week. Going to tint the windows ASAP.. Probably doing the 20% like you. Looks great. And I love this car too!!
You did awesome bro! Congratulations on your new car! Just got mine last week and I love it!
Holy moly! 3000 miles in a month! I haven't hit 3000 miles yet on my car and I've had it 8 months.
John Labus I know right
I hit over 10k less than 8 months 😂
How many miles so far??
Add remote start key fob you will love it even more!!!
how much does the dealer charge to add it?
@@rudysaucedo6659 dealer charges too much I got mine on ebay and a locksmith did the programing for me
RAMON GONZALEZ so u just need to buy a 2018 honda accord remote start key? and just get locksmith to program it
@@rudysaucedo6659 yes I paid for two remotes 130 dlls then programing was 30 dlls for 2 I dis not cut my new keys Instead I use my old ones
I had an Civic ext and yesterday I traded in for a 2019 accord sport blue and I am in love
I got a blue one a few months ago to.
My favorite feature from your video was.... you were listening to Christian Music (fear is a liar). Love the car too but Love the Lord the most!
Amen, brother. Love that song, too. Let your fire fall, cast out all my fear. Let your fire fall, your love is all I feel.
The key/remote is same as the 2013 model, and yes, it is pocket-friendly. However, just came across a recent video where the guy programmed another oem key with remote-start button on it and yep, that actually worked without even opting for the same from the dealer.
Very fine review. I love the exact same things that you like about this car, such as the different buttons, colored lighting, etc. Good to know it's not just me.
Great video bro! I have the EX-L 2.0T and it’s an awesome car.
Me too LOVE this car, wanted the memory seats and the 450 watt stereo, just put the Sport 19" rims on it now it's perfect
I’m glad I bought a coupe before they discontinued it!
I like my 2017 Accord Sport but I do miss what I had prior (Mercedes C300). I miss the comfort of the drive. Suspension is much better than the Honda but I had to go back to something that is reliable. Thought about going with an Audi next but not sure. Now, my '17 Accord didn't come with LED lights and it's the one thing I did change. Much better with LED lights.
Man, that side profile is stupendous.
I love Honda I don’t care what anyone says they are such great cars, just picked up one of these it’s like my 12th car lol and can’t complain!
I'm OCD. I COULDN'T TRUST THAT BRAKE HOLD.😂😂😂😂😂
I have the same car but in manual transmission and I haven't trusted it yet. I've only had it for a week though but still. I ain't taking the chance.
The car is smart. The brake hold works really well. But, if something was to make the car move such as a big car passing by that shakes the ground, the car will go from break hold to automatic e brake. You will then have to unlock it from that point.
What makes me nervous is the Honda sensing in the 2019 version, I have the EX. It keeps a space between you and the car in front of you and if the car in front of you applies the brakes, you will too. My car will approach stopped traffic so quickly and automatically apply the brakes. It works beautifully but there are times I'm going so fast that I don't want to trust that the brakes are going to automatically apply at the last second so I always end up braking on my own. 😄 I just can't trust it. I now realize there's no way that I could relax in a self-driving car.
That break hold if Honda originally invented it it’s definitely a game changer
Loved the video
“Yes i do workout” 😂
I love my 2019 Honda accord.
The best car for the money I love my 2020 Honda 1.5 👍🏼
I have the 2019 Honda Accord sport 1.5t in white with red leather and love great looking car and i enjoy using apple CarPlay for best music experience
Just got mines a week ago. And it’s awesome
Thank you after this video I'm 💯 convinced to buy one
Definitely touch on a lot of thing's i like about this car to love my new honda...
It looks great with tinted windows, I still do not know if I want this in your silver color or in blue. I feel like the silver shows the detail of the body more.
that car is cool, but with the 2.0T thats car become super super super cool
10/10 car to be honest, one thing honda’s innovation could have done with the break hold is press the brake all the way down and break hold will activate where are pressing the button just for easier access
Jd Nguyen agreed. Mercedes’ implementation is flawless. It’s only there when you need it.
lol..are you the guy who complained that his dash screen collected dust?
Andrerw Jackson yep
don't you miss the V6???
its a nice color you choose, white gets played out too much, plus it doesn't look that dirty either.
Geo4242 my thoughts exactly
#1 dislike is the small fuel tank
Great video! I just recently bought 2014 accord coupe & I love it. It's a great upgrade from my 2011 accord sedan. I might make a video on it lol. I gotta say though, that break hold feature is AMAZING. I would love to have it.
I will buy accord 2018 soon so im very exited 😍
Ammar Janahi Mohammed was a pedophile. I'm drawing a picture of him now.
Good Morning
Thank you for the information, me and my wife just purchased one ( 2 weeks) a accord EXL..... thanks for the info....
We have the exact same car! 2018 Honda Accord sport 1.5T! Just got it yesterday
Im gonna get mine very soon. I want it all black. I have the 2016 sport red.
Carlos Bejarano u selling it?
Richard Lopez it’s a lease.
Scale of 1 to 10 how quiet is the ride? 10 being a super quiet interior and 1 being unbearable road noise.
Great video. Great Song choice (radio). Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. God bless you bro🙏
I'm getting this car next week ... In silver 2.0 accord ... Thanks for your feedback ...
Great points. These are some of my favorites as well. I drive the Sport 2.0T
I'm getting one of these tomorrow. Wish ppl posted how much they paid out the door. It would make it easier for us potential buyers. When I get my price I will post it for those looking to buy
You never posted your price.
24k
Great video! i like your honest review on this car. Question: if you had to do it again, would you buy the Touring or by the Sport model again?
Sport. Iike the chrome nose better and the rims better
Secret : Remote start is on all models. Just buy the key fob and have your dealer program it to your car. The features I like is the lane keep assist standard. The features I don’t like is the missing break lights on the trunk lid. Only lights up the bottom portion. I also don’t like that there’s is no trunk button and that the trunk release on the key doesn’t work with engine on. I also don’t like the water build up behind the gas cap door. I don’t like the side view mirrors extremely big blind spots on driver side.
beauty of a car, 1.5 liter is an outrage, whats next the 1.0 twin turbo?
Its a $25k car what do you expect 350HP?
Perk Here no - its about displacement- not strapping a turbo to your hampster
Great video and thanks for the tip on the brake hold, will most definitely be using that feature.
Mr. Haygood yeah it's awesome
Why would one buy a "sport package" and opt for the little motor?
I can't stand CVT's they are a crutch for higher mpg's. With the 10 speed I get 28 mpg combo of about 50/50 city and country backroads. Went down to LA a couple of weeks ago didn't go under 80 through the grapevine 350 mile round trip and still got 32 mpg. Plus the 2.0 is just plain quick, Love how it breaks the tires loose at 20 mph you can't do that in a CVT.
Because not everyone is a race car driver
2018 Honda Accord Sport, 3,072 miles
You did well if enthusiasm counts for anything, very nice car in so many ways..
Great vid man. Thanks for pointing out things other vids dont. Im selling my 2014 mustang to purchase this. Test drove yesterday and im excited.
got the same care seen another post that if u get the oem key for the 2018 ex model with auto start if u get it programmed your car will automatically have auto start apparently its built in but the dealership wont let u know they will try to get over on you to get u to pay for that i just ordered the oem remote with auto start going to get it programmed this week n have auto start for a fraction of the cost.
This thing is an amazing car. It’s turbo and it’s new
I love my rattle sounds from my rear speakers man dealership still can’t figure it out after replacing the subwoofer and other visits
Poor newer Accord owners. They’ll never know the glory of that amazing sounding 3.5 V6, nor stock 5.0 second 0-60 times. Performance has retracted in the new Accord.
Arun Kumar car and Driver says 7.3. I don’t care what elevation or who was driving, that’ll never get down to 5.0. Even the 2.0T only pops a 5.7. The older car was the better car. I’m willing to give you the fact that this car is vastly superior in looks and content and it isn’t even close. Honda could generate a lot of interest in this car and help its struggling sales by dropping in a. V6 or push that turbo to put out 290hp. Honda may pull one over the general public, but hardcore Honda fans have definitely taken notice of the retractions in performance and other key specs in models like the Accord, Pilot, etc.
Large ICE’s days are numbered and people are starting to care less. Even Dodge recently came out and said the future of the Challenger doesn’t have a V8 in it and that they need to look to the future. 1.5 is a nice engine. Tesla’s are smoking the fastest ICE’s on the strip. People are going for looks now and efficiency. Welcome to the future. Let people enjoy what they are happy with.
Tyrone Power you’re all over the map with your comments and I can assure you that when it comes to performance car shoppers they don’t care about efficiency. The bottom line is, the car is gorgeous, but it’s a step down in performance specs. That very trade off did not result in anything noteworthy efficiency wise.
You are a Timex watch in a digital age you are. Coming on here talking about what people are missing out on, people in general don’t care about loud large engines. They want something that looks nice for cheap and isn’t unnecessary. It simply isn’t necessary to have a 3.7 V6. It’s always about saving money, eventually shrinking the engine till it’s partnered with an EV one, then phased out.
The efficiency comes with spending less at the pump and the car going a good distance on $30 bucks. I can assure you, people care about this . Any car over 300HP is useless, people also realize this( How fast do you wanna get to the traffic lights? ) that’s why they have been buying cross overs in their droves in the US. Nobody cares if you are nostalgic to the roar of an ICE and almost no one will care about this in 20 years. The smaller 1.5 engine is justified. Good riddance to the unnecessary engines.
That’s not true. They are almost dead even . V6vs 2.0. Okay to like the v6 better cause you have one but 2.0 is very torquey.
I personally don’t like the automatic brights because they’ll turn on without me realizing sometimes and I’ll have other people bright lighting me.
Loved it, great job my guy 👍🏽
BMW has the auto hold feature for the past 12 years
Car Craze No surprise there since luxury vehicle always get the latest technology first before it trickles down to the “lesser” cars.
But yes, 12 years IS a long time for the auto hold feature to show up in the Accord.
Im in love with this car I have a 98 Camry right now but I know people at the local honda dealership that'll help me when I have some money saved up..I want the 2.0L sport
Nice video! I appreciate the different approach. The arm rest and key fob observations might have made my mind up. I was wondering, what is the color called on yours? Also, did you add any options on top of the standard items?
Do you know that if you buy a key fob for the LX model and have it programmed for your 2018 or 2018 Sport model it will have auto start. The Sport model has it, there just isn't a button for it on the key fob.
Cuberittt FYI - they also have a way to program the original fob. Once it’s programmed you just push the lock button 3x and it starts. There is a you tube video showing a company called extreme audio that does it.
Loving my 2018 Honda Accord ex
I’m waiting for the Altima. Better looking, better looking tail lights, all wheel drive!, curvy exterior, looks like Lexus meets Audi......you can’t go wrong with the upcoming Altima.
What made you get this over the civic? And then at that point why the 1.5T over the 2.0T?
Prospective buyer myself - great video. This would be my first new car. Why did you get this car overall? Commuter, family, space?
Emilio Sánchez I bought this car for the reliability gas mileage and size civic is too small 1.5 has plenty of power if I want my car to be really fast I’ll buy a car that’s supposed to be fast
Try the brake hold with a manual transmission.
Great video, keep up the great work.
Wow love the break hold.. going to get one tomorrow..
I just picked up the 2.0T Touring last week! These cars are absolutely amazing! How’d you get the Tachometer and fuel range on the same screen? I’m still learning day by day what features there are.
ksinghiu it's in the settings on the dash
Nice car. And yeah brake hold has been around for a long time. I had a 2001 bmw that had it, so it's at least that old, not sure when car makers first released it, bit definitely a useful feature.
Hey, Have you had your coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid changed yet? If so, at what mileage?
So your car still treating you good after 3yrs? Just bought a 2021 with the 1.5t, and it's so smooth. CVT transmissions are smooth.
Yes. However I got a 2021 sport special edition last year. Best car for the money.
Very underrated car, I see more Camrys than this Accord. But when I do see one, it’s pretty eye catching to say the least. From a non car guys perspective, it can look like a 4 door coupe luxury car.
