guys down below, this is NOT a major fail. This is the 4 cyl accord and for what it is, the car is quite peppy/quick. Lets not forget back in 2003 the 3.0L v6 which was 240 hp with the 5 speed auto only did 0 - 60 mph in 7.3-7.5 seconds depending on which mag was testing. That was the TOP engine. This is the base engine and it nearly matches those numbers. Today however you can get the v6 which blows the doors off most average cars

Robert Schneider I have the 2013 Accord Sport. The CVT is actually faster on the Accord than the Altima. My sister has a 2012 Altima 2.5 S and it's not very comfortable to passengers because it jerks back and fourth immensely when accelerating and braking; Too much body roll too that it's very uncomfortable. It makes you think that the car is going to flip over. It gives me a headache on long commutes and such. The Accord has an extremely smooth and comfortable ride whether cruising or accelerating. It doesn't have too much body roll and handles a trillion times better. Braking is also very nice. Overall the Accord feels much more sturdy and robust than the Altima. Reliability and Resale value for the Accord are very high in the whole car industry. That isn't the case for the Altima. The Altima has horrendous reliability and resale value.

CVT+VTEC= Awesome. Even when people take their manual transmission Hondas on the dyno for a high-speed run, it allows the engine to be optimized at a specific engine speed with the most power, usually at higher rpms. Putting a CVT makes the VTEC engine fully engage for maximum horsepower and torque, but of course it won't be fuel efficient, when you floor it. CVT also is meant to save fuel by lightly pressing the gas pedal to get up to speed.

Very nice! respective performance for a 4 cyl. non-turbo sedan.

Not bad for a stock 4 banger. Sport mode w/o shifters is likely ideal, it'll keep the revs at peak power.

Honda's first mainstream CVT was Honda HX in 1996. They have improved that technology greatly since then. I have seen many Civic HX's with 200k plus on them. Yes, Nissan has good reliability but Honda does also. Thank you for your feedback and for watching. HPJ

I did see your 2013 Civic introductory video. Was trying to find out if you were going to do an actual test drive video with the '13 Civic.

I understand your concern. The CVT has been developing for almost over 100 years. The first one was in 1896 for use in a automobile. It does have its quirks but the benefits outweigh them in my opinion.

It makes sence what you said but I think the engine can take much more than 'redline'. The engineers set the computer to run the CVT up to a point of RPM where its not close to damage. Marking that as a Redline point. Thanks for your feedback, Jason

How far will it let you go into the redline when in the port Manual mode? Will it let you bounce off the revlimiter?

Well if you like to race your luxury car then the cvt my not be to your liking actually a 189 hp motor might not be a good idea either. But in everyday situations I love the cvt. smooth operation with no shifting. I find it to be plenty quick getting into fast traffic. So im not sure what people complain about with the cvt. Actually they are banned in F1 racing because they are far superior. Difference is you bought an accord and think you got a f1 racer.
