I drove my 2015 accord Lx from Pennsylvania to Canada Ontario and it was such a fun drive and didn’t get any issue plus with a good fuel consumption.

Wow, that's a long drive, but I'm sure it was enjoyable. the Accord is a great long distance cruiser. Thanks for watching!

I have a 2013 EX sedan and I just love it! I previously owned a 2002 Accord EX sedan that was getting up there in miles so I gave that one to my daughter and bought myself the 2013 when it was 4 years old w/ 20k miles. I love that the 9th gen looks very much like the 6th gen. There are some things that the old car had that I wish the new one did (I liked the conventional automatic over the CVT, the old car's double wishbone suspension handled better than these McPherson struts, and I feel like the electric steering in the new car is light and vague compared to the old car). Overall, I am happy with this car and it has held up well in styling and quality. I think it looks much better than the Accord generations that have followed, specifically the new 11th gen. Just my opinion.

Great Review , the good , mediocre and what not . I’ve never owned one before but I just bought one at a great price as a second car . It’s kind of a long distance transaction so I won’t see it until I pick it up in a few days and pay the balance. I’m looking forward to picking it up very much now . Nothing is going to be perfect but I’ve always heard good things about Hondas . Thanks for posting !👍

Great in-depth review. Any problems with the CVT? The CVT in this Accord put me off for a while, but after reading your review, I am looking forward to getting a pre-owned one.

Thanks for watching! No issues at all so far with the CVT with over 150,000km. The car as a whole has been extremely reliable and quite enjoyable for a mid-size sedan! Good choice

I bought my 2015 Accord EXL brand new. It is just about to turn 110,000 miles. The paint is better on the EXL than base car although my white pearl metallic had some peeling around the rear Window. I had gone through 2 batteries, 2 alternators, sealed bearing on driveshaft had to be replaced. The leather seat has worn and replacement leather not available new. I sold Honda bikes and cars in the 1970's and this is my 8th Accord. I usually put on 250,000 to 350,000 miles then get a new one. I save my money and when I get a new one pay cash for it. Dealers sometimes make more money for arranging financing than selling the car. Don't finance a car, buy a junker or fix your old ride and you will save lots of $

I had an 05 XB and found the seat was too high for my short legs and the Corolla seats killed my ass. Do u think an accord would be a good alternative

i also have the 2015 accord, i totally agree with your comment about the paint quality . HONDA is kind of notorious about its paint job. stone chips on my car are deep enough to show bare metal at some spots. Especially right above the front bumper and on the rear doors on both sides.

One little thing that bothers me about my this car. Whenever you press the cruise control + it takes a long time to accelerate or decelerate, but if I press cancel and then push the gas the acceleration is fine

Does it have issue with the legs like other Honda

Most accord owner's priorities are like #1 Reliability, Safety, Comfort, practicality and fun factor. Unfortunately Hondas are prone to easily scratch and dent. Honda has yet to develop a proper paint for their cars, I am looking at brand new Accords and factory pain-job looks like crap and seems like it just came out of a body-shop with the orange peel effect. Not smooth like you see on European vehicles.. Regardless, I think the 9-gen accord is one of the nicest designs Honda ever developed and produced.

There are definitely some paint issues Honda needs to sort out, I agree with you that the 9th gen Accord is one of the cleanest modern Honda designs. Thanks for watching!

I’ve been offered a 2014 Accord (same gen) with 112,000 miles (180246 km) for slightly under KBB value. The only thing I’m concerned about is the CVT. Is it still holding up fine? I’ve heard Honda has the best CVTs on the market. I’m just having a hard time making a decision.
