  Disappointed in my Accord
A member from Arizona, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Fuel economy
The fuel economy was very good considering the stop & go traffic of Phoenix as well as using the A/C extensively in the summer.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Accord: Reliability & durability
My issue with the accord is at 38,000 miles I was told I had a broken motor mount. I am not sure why or how a broken motor mount would occur in under 3 years of ownership. I found that annoying because the car was maintained and not beaten on and this happens. Nothing better than coughing up $700.00 just before your child is born.

  2013 Accord major improvement over previous Accord
A member from North Carolina, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Powertrain performance
Performance and Handling of the 2013 Accord Sport (6-speed manual) has been excellent. I was pleasantly surprised when test driving a 2013 Accord Sport, that I decided to purchase one. Driving, handling, and the features were very nice. Handling is is very responsive and little to no sway or body-roll in the turns. Acceleration was impressive compared to the previous generation 5-speed (manual) Accord (2008-2012).

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Accord: Color choices
Color choices are very limited when opting for a manual 6-sp trans. I still purchased the car, but adding a white or champagne/beige exterior color (With 6-sp manual) would be nice.

Other Reasons to Buy the Honda Accord: Quietness, Color choices

  It's not perfect
A member from Massachusetts, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Exterior styling
At the time I needed a car, I don't really think the car is good looking. the front is OK, but the rear end is ugly. Still I've gotten used to it.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Accord: Driving position & visibility
Big A pillars block it some what, but it seems they all have that these days. The driving position is good, the steering wheel extends and moves around, the seat has lots of adjustment, how could it not be? Plus the gear shift falls easily to hand. the controls seem well placed and well thought out for the most part.

  Not a bad family sedan.
A member from Wisconsin, United States

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Powertrain performance
The 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual are a match made in heaven. Plenty of power and excellent fuel economy. I'm glad I got the more powerful EX. While 13hp increase does not sound like much, the k24z3 seems to have a much nicer torque curve than the lower end models. Neither four cylinder seems to match well with the automatic though. Power seem down and the ratio gaps make the engine feel peaky and pressed. If you must have an auto, get the v6, you will be glad you spent the extra $ the first time you pass on a two lane road with people in the car.

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Accord: Ride smoothness
My really only gripe is the stock shocks. There is too much vertical ride motions over bumps, especially with a full load of passengers. This is easily remedied with a set of aftermarket shocks though. Just wish Honda put better dampers on the car from the beginning.

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Powertrain performance
The Honda V6 is a delightful engine, lots of power, smooth torque delivery and a truly wonderful 6-speed gearshift (manual). By contrast, the Golf had longer throws and a less-intuitive clutch pickup. And a LOT less power.

Best Reason to Buy the Honda Accord: Ride smoothness
Even with 157k miles on it, my auto accord still shifts buttery smooth (KNOCK ON WOOD), even smoother then my girlfriends 2011 camry. Power delivery is extremely smooth and quiet for a fourbanger

Best Reason Not to Buy the Honda Accord: Driving position & visibility
Visibility is absolutely atrocious in the coupe with horrible blind spots. However this is expected in a coupe.

Other Reasons to Buy the Honda Accord: Safety & braking, Controls and instruments, Interior styling
