| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | I bought in December 2007 in Woodbridge, VA. I got a great deal. All said and done after all taxes and fees: Less than $21,500. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD | price was significantly lower than list |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD | The Accord is priced at a very reasonable price point for the different models. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | $22K out the door; 3.9% for 36 months |

| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | I received a $3500 incentive for buying a "left-over" car. I purchased a new 2006 Accord in Jan/2007. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD | I must have hit the dealer at the right time because I am paying less for the V6 6SP than I was paying for a 2003 EX-L 4 cyl w/5SP and with no money down, only first months payment due at signing. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Price was 19 out the door including tax for me new in MT. Dealership cost may be high, but the chances your car is going to break down is nil, so thats even more thirft. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | We bought a DX with dealer-installed AC. $13,000 plus a Plymouth Breeze with a blown head gasket. Not bad for a brand new car with 11 miles on the odometer. |

| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | The dealer was terrible. No price break offered or given upon my request. I walked. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | See above. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | The car is expensive, lets hope the resale stays up long enough. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | If your replacing an Accord with an older Accord, say 4 to 6 years older you will reap the benefits of their resale value, otherwise nearing $30,000 your first one can bring some steep payments and rhey expect much larger downpayments going into a lease. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | The new car prices are over rated for what you get because the value loss in the first 3 years. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | In my area used Accords cost more year by year than Camrys do. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD | Year for year used Accord prices in my area are higher than Camry prices. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | The low deprciation is a double edged sword and V6 Accords were about $3000-4000 more than any of the Maximas I was looking at. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | Pricey to buy both new and used, but worth it for the reliability and resale. |
| 2000 | 2dr Coupe 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD | It was simply too expensive. |

flawless workmanship Many extras are standard |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 274hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Everything fits perfectly. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Dashboard is not plastic but a synthetic plastic for enhanced feel. Door arm rests well planned out. easy to feel for window and mirror controls. Best middle compartment with iPod hookup. Multiple areas for storage. Impressive audio and audio controls. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
At indicated in the professional reviews, the interior/ exterior is well appointed with quality materials and excellent fit and finish. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car has a solid feel to it. And the doors sound a bit like a European sedan when I shut them. I nice reassuring sound from an inexpensive asian built car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
soft-touch materials, low-gloss instrument panel |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Our Sonota looks and feels like a quality car. I have yet to hear any kind of a rattle or squeak on our winter ravished road. The paint is perfect. Doors close with a solid thunk. We have had the car for about 2 months & no problems with anything. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent value for the price |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The car is built solid. We have put 19,000 miles on it since the first of the year (2008)and it still feels like it did the day we bought it new. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I have had the car approximately 1.5 years now and it is still as solid as the day I drove it off the lot. I recently had to have body work done due to stone chips, I had a 2009 Mitsubishi Gallant and was horrible...sounded like a go-kart..no comparison |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Overall, pretty GOOD! |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
it sits like a luxury car with comfortable leather seats and soft plastics in all the right places. No squeaks or rattles in almost 40,000 miles. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 149-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Just after I tried other cars (mazda, nissan, GM) I realized how good is interior material. |

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Controls felt a bit cheap, cheap plastics. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 198-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap interior plastic, like a toyota camry, not as good as the accord. |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
cheap plastic feel. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Periodic "Rice Krispies" effect from the dash as cabin temperature warms. Materials are vastly improved from the 2008 model, but dash material seemingly expands as the cabin warms to room temperature...it ceases once room temperature is reached. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap and low class. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Still some minor fit and finish issues which Hyundai needs to work on. Noticed that the body joints under the car were never coated with undercoating like the rest of the chassis. This is something one would not see on a Toyota or Honda. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 249-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Vents go snap/crackle/pop while flexing in temperatures. Noisy plastic bits from the dash, rumbling rear suspension. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 162-horsepower 2.4L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
a few rattles on dash and door. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
not sure; this Sonata is US assembled so time will tell whether or not it will stand the test of time compared to Asian built models |

the Honda materials and workmanship are a step above others, though Honda still cannot make a good sun visor. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
It is Honda. Materials are good and fitted very well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
The interior has some quality to it; the leather is soft & supple; there are no annoying rattles/squeaks. |

No rattles or squeaks. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |

Leather seating surfaces and dash materials are simply beter than Nissan, Toyota, Mazda or most American brands. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Everything matches and everything fits. There are no questionable gaps or slightly mismatched colors, no annoying squeaks or rattles, no stiff controls. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Put together really well. To me the materials and workmanship are of a car that is worth more money to buy. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Interior trim materials high quality and excellent fit. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It feels more expensive than it is it. Every control has a nice smooth feel and weight. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Well made. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Very well made. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
When you shut the doors you can just tell that everything fits together well. The leather interior is very nice. No gaps in the panels anywhere on the car. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The interior fits and comes together as one might hope for. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The interior materials are a notch above other cars in its class and they look as though someone cared how they went together. The feel of the switchgear is of a high quality and feel. The car overall just seems screwed together very well. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Very well crafted interior and exterior |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
I believe the workmanship of the Accord is far better than most american vehicles. No rattles or other problems occur and this was the case with my last Accord. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Quality and Honda reputation |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Panel gaps are uniform and tiny, everything is put together properly, there are no rattles or broken pieces, and everything feels nicer than it should. Everything is of a high quality and feels better than you might expect of such a reasonably priced car |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
All the materials that your hands encounter are smooth and durable (in the EX-L trim). |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Solid, well engineered. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
No complaints at all |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
After 70,000 miles, not a single rattle. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Fit and finish is very good. Take exception with cloth upholstery that stains easily and trunk that still has old style hinges that intrude into trunk space. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
very well finished |
| 2004 | 2dr Coupe 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Nothing has broken or needed replacement or repair in the total time of ownership. Could not ask for more. I do take care of it by keeping it clean and at least twice a year giving it a good cleaning inside and out. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
top notch, no trim faiure in 6 years, no hardware failure either. |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |

| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Paint chips/scratches very easily, though I hear this is a common complaint with the new EPA mandated water based automotive paints. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Many corners are cut on the car. Such as: no underhood trim, no trim under the trunk lid, no driver and passenger lower trim covers, lack of a "close" function on the A/C vents on the center console stack. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Again, the car has been "cheapened" |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
definitely are a bit cheaper from the previous generation, and the workmanship is below toyota and some fords |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Poor fit and finish. Much lower than my 5 previous Hondas. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Sheet metal and paint finish is not as good as the any European or American. Fit and finishing inside and outside is very inconsonance. Lot of rattles and road noises as well. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
material that cushions the trunk is very cheap and the material on the doors look cheap |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed manual FWD |
Hard, easily scratched plastics litter the interior. Chrome door handles replaced by flimsy plastic pieces. Misaligned panels. Flashing visible on the edge of some interior pieces. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Shoddy QA/QC - rattling windows, creaks & squeaks in dash & glove box. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
It has several (admittedly minor) plastic rattles, especially in cold weather. I find that it to be inconsistent with the rest of the car which is stylish and well designed. Would be ok for a less expensive car, but not for Accord. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 253-horsepower 3.0L V6 Hybrid 5-speed automatic FWD |
Poor quality interior materials when compared to the Saab. Everything on the Saab was very well made with high quality materials. The Honda doesn't compare. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 166-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Everything inside the car feels cheap and junky, I suppose thats what you get for the price though. |
| 2006 | 2dr Coupe 244-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
I have had numerous quality control issues with this vehicle. Everything from scratched glass to loose heatshields and loose seat rails. Also some interior materials are cheap, especially considering this car costs over in $36,000 Canadian Dollars (new) |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
cheap seating material, engine makes bad sounds |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
Transmissions and V6 engines are very unreliable. Friend owns another 2003 and he has electrical problems. Made in America quality is pretty lousy. Everyone in my neighborhood does not buy a new one when the old one dies - I plan to follow. |
