2015 Honda Accord Sport Sedan Test Drive Video Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

www.autobytel.com/honda/accord... The Honda Accord may be the best-selling car in America if you only take into account consumer sales. Otherwise it is a toss-up between the Camry and the Accord. But the new Accord is more refined and much more exciting to drive. The trim level tested here is the Sport trim level which starts at $24,665. The Sport trim gets you fog lights, 18-inch aluminum wheels, Sport-tuned suspension, and a dual-exhaust.
Then engine is a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder that makes 189 horsepower and 182 lb-ft. of torque. Even though this is called the Sport model, the transmission is still a CVT unit. The good news though is the fuel economy is 26 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway.
The interior is a great place to be. The controls are perfectly laid out with wonderful visibility. There is also a standard reversing camera. Everything is logically arranged and marked. It is very easy to find all the controls since there is not much clutter and technology. You can get more features and options by getting one of the higher trim levels.

    this may be one of them, but there are so many beyond stupid and pointless comments on this video. Honda's suck? cheap? not reliable??? Is that your incredibly biased opinion, toyota driver? Everything I've read for the last 15 years consistently places Honda AND Toyota as some of the most reliable cars money can buy. Idk why people feel the need to post senseless hate on a video review of a car. nothing better to do I suppose.

    I am a Honda and Toyota owner. I have to say that toyota is more reliable, at least with their new models. For the 2015 accord there are a few issues. It vibrates at idle. Google it you will see how this issue pervades. There is also excessive wind and road noise on the hwy, which makes the long haul punishing. The powertrain, the chassis provide a little bit more fun than the Toyota, but overall the car still falls in the numb and slow category. I am not saying Honda cars are not reliable. Just Toyota is better put together.

    Nan Xing I appreciate your input. Do you own the '15 Accord? which model? I wish the refreshed 2016 Accord didn't have the obnoxious chrome strip on the grille (similar to the '15 TLX), because I'm really hoping they got some of these kinks worked out and was waiting to see what the '16s updates were before buying a new car (or outgoing '15). Not thrilled on the exterior, but we don't know about powertrain, chassis, interior yet. Hondas have always had some road and wind noise on the highway, but I haven't read many complaints about it as being a big deal (Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Consumer Reports, Edmunds, etc.). I'd imagine it's much quieter than the often compared Mazda 6, which is said to have excessive noise 50mph+. That vibration is interesting; I'll look into it. As for the long haul.. I've been driving a 2000 Accord V6 with the Y pipe to the L/R mufflers completely broken, so I'm used to ridiculous noise lol. ANYTHING would be many decibels quieter than my car. I think that pipe got damaged in a fender bender a few years ago and finally rusted through. I should've patched it when I first heard anything, but figured it was just the 210k miles on the car being heard. My experience with the car has been pretty darn great overall, tho the transmission from 1st to 2nd isn't very smooth, which ended up being a common problem with the 2000 V6. But it keeps shifting and running, which is all I ask at now 214k miles. I know you're referring to Toyota's newer models, as I am with the Honda, but they're not out of the woods yet in my mind. I can recall (horrible pun) their string of recalls not too long ago. It's probably irrelevant, but it's there. They're both great cars. I agree that Toyotas seem to have slightly better reliability scores for their cars across the board than Honda, as both companies are generally in the top tier for reliability and quality. To me, the difference is so small that it could really depend on the individual car, if you get a perfect gem, or one with an issue here or there. The difference is also so small, that I'd go with what you admitted as being the more fun to drive car, and my preference in styling with the Accord. My only real concern with the Accord is the belt on the CVT. Their CVT is supposed to be one of the best available, but it does have it's issues. Again, hoping the '16 has some updates. I know the Mazda 6 is supposed to be fun to drive, but I've read it has slight lag off from the start (except the GT model with "sport mode". The Accord was .2 seconds faster 0-60, 92mph vs 88 in the 1/4 mile (both mostly due to not shifting with CVT), equal breaking distance, 2.5mph faster slalom, .01 g better skidpad. I know we're comparing Toyota/Honda, but I had those stats handy because I'm considering the 6 and Accord.. and because the Mazda is supposed to be the most fun to drive.. and while the Accord having equal-better stats may not = fun to drive, it may = performance.. and may put it in the top tier of it's class since Mazda was supposed to hold that spot. I've read and watched many reviews that said it was by no means a "numb and slow" car. I agree, Toyotas seem to have the least problems in the car world. But it's not like we're comparing Toyota and Chrysler lol. It's going to be a tough choice for me which car I buy. Toyotas just don't do much for me, unfortunately.

    Matthew Maneri Mine is a 13 Accord LX. The vibration is for all 13-15 models with I4 engine. I mentioned 15 as Honda admits this problem with their 15 CR-V, which shares the same powertrain as 13-15 Accord. Never had a Mazda, so cant give any comment about it. Test driving them may be the best way to find out which suits you better. But if you decide to go with the Accord, make sure that noise and vibration is no big deal for you.

    Nan Xing Noise won't be an issue, as I may be doing some sound deadening anyway for the stereo I plan to install. I'll be aware of the vibration though. I've also read about the CVT being sluggish when accelerating from about 5mph. I prefer the Accord's roomier interior to the 6, but obviously most people would prefer an automatic 6speed to the accord's CVT. Agreed, the test drive will be beneficial when the time comes. Thanks for the feedback.

    For whatever its worth, my wife and I just went to the KC auto show to shop for her a new car. We narrowed it down to Mazda6 Grand touring, Honda Accord Hybrid Touring, Lexus ES300h and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. The Lexus and Lincoln were about 10K more than the other 2. Went to dealers and drove all 4. We narrowed down to Honda and Lincoln. She liked the Honda I liked the Lincoln. I really pushed going with the American car to support our economy. She did her researched and showed me the Honda is made with Union employees in Ohio and the Lincoln is made with non-union employees in Mexico. Were going with the Honda.

    My whole body hurt after test driving this car. Every bump I saw coming, I had to brace myself. The stereos in Hondas still suck. On the positive side, when you sit in this car, everything inside does in fact exude quality. And the acceleration in the base model is very good compared to any other car in the class. I had no concerns about merging onto the highway. But the rough ride still, after all these years, keeps me from being a Honda guy. I would suggest to anyone that you test drive this car. The positives may outweigh the negatives for you.

I average 38 which is amazing for not being a hybrid. This car is awesome. Maybe Honda should offer a Sport model with a more powerful engine like the Ford Fusion Sport which has 325 HP but only gets about 20 MPGs. An All Wheel Drive option for this vehicle would be an excellent idea for Honda in the future too Fusion Sport has AWD.

I don't understand why Honda is choosing to go this way with a sport package. At least offer a bigger engine too. I'll probably end up getting the ex v6 navi, and adding the trunk lid spoiler to at least give it a similar look as this..

The push to start is neat, the displays for the radio and back up camera is nice, inside is spacious and comfortable to seat 5. The leather has a great feel to it. It has great handling on the steering wheel Going 80 in the freeway with the car feeling heavy and grounded to the freeway. All car has its ups and downs, to me honestly its up to the owner to take care of the car so it can have a long life. Of course every car has its lemons, the engineers aren't perfect but who is? The car is a great buy and i know my son, family and friends will be safe inside it.

Also, the Sport comes with a manual option. And the seats look and feel better, in my opinion.

    For the complaints about the Sport not being available on higher trim models. For me, the Sport has just the options I am willing to pay for and nothing else. Every upgrade I like. I am a value shopper. My last car was a 2005 Acura RL that I bought for $16K so this is an expensive car to me. I think I am going new next time and this is no RL, but I think it is very nice and it will be nice to have a new car when the time comes. Not too soon though, we just bought a 2015 Honda CRV and it is nice enough, but very cheap feeling and not comfortable and has the vibration, they ALL do. Accord is a better car overall, but we wanted an SUV.

    Minimal issues with my 2015 LX, 78k miles. Mirror issue I never noticed.. maybe my car didn't have it. Zero challenges with the starter. Minimal oil dilution issues. Zero CVT slippage, even at steep grades. Had no problems with the CVT, and actually preferred the immediate "downshift" compared to other cars (2018+ Camry) having to hunt for the right gear when you just need to go. Averaged 36mpg per tank, 70% highway. I did 6 hour drives with the cloth seats in the LX and was never uncomfortable. Really a great car. Only real issue was left rear power door lock stopped working. not a big deal since I rarely use that door. I could still manually unlock it with the button, and would just leave it locked all the time by default. Some wind noise in the rear.. overall road noise wasn't great, but I got used to it. Bluetooth always sync'd to the phone before I even got in the car. Always worked flawlessly. Backup camera was great. Tires.. while on the narrow/bubble side (205/65/R16), were at least cheap to replace.. $110 for Continental True Contact, which had better ratings than what came on the car, Pro Contact. The only main downside to the 4cyl Sedans is the cornering. Lots of body roll! Those curves are NOT fun with this car. However you'll find forums on a simple easy 30 minute do it yourself rear sway bar upgrade that helps the understeer/body roll significantly. I never got around to doing it myself, but people are confident in it.

    In my community, I mostly see from Honda is the Accord Sport. I asked around and people love it. They picked it over the LX.

    I would definitely pick the sport over the LX- it looks great. I recently bought an EX-L which isn't as attractive in my mind, but I wanted two things you can't get on the sport: Nav and Moonroof. If Honda allowed you to mix and match options, I would have gotten a sport and added those two features.

    cancercell1 Worst part isn't just the lack of paddle shifters - the center console shifter doesn't have ANY ability to select a gear - just "D" and "S" mode. "S" mode works the same as "D" just holds gears longer. Very upsetting when driving on mountain grades where you want to hold gears. Sporty car? Hardly. Even my old 82 Tercel auto had gears "1" and "2" available on the shifter!

    I looked over the brochure for both a 2013 and 2014 Accord sedan, no where does Honda mention that the SPORT model has a sport tuned suspension. The only differentiating factors are the wheels, fog lights, interior fabric, paddle shifters, rear spoiler, and dual exhaust. Otherwise, its exactly the same as the LX version. Please show me where does Honda state *sport tuned suspension* for the Accord Sport sedan??

    This is actually a good review. The Honda is a good car, but too bad they went with the CVT transmission. The paddle shifters are called "faux paddle shifters", because there is no actually gears, so they are pointless. The Camry has real paddle shifters, with a real 6-speed automatic transmission. I don't care for the PLAYSKOOL style dash-board, but I guess most Yanks buy the Accord because they care very little about gauges. I would prefer the larger tachometer the Camry SE uses. Hondas build good cars, but they are expensive for what one gets for the price....a belt drive instead of a real transmission. Good luck replacing that at 45,000 miles, it's not covered under warranty since it's typical wear, very much like wiper blades, tires, and brakes.

    +Cesar I. No problem, man. the car now has around 18k miles, two oil changes and zero issues. I took the car out the lot at $19k^. I driven many cars over the past 13 years and by far the comfort, technology and looks that not only accord, but Honda brings for the price is unmatchable. needless to say, i can buy a great range of vehicles is wanted but i would definitely not considering it would be a shame not to take advantage of the fact that it is an exceptional vehicle for its price. the only thing I'm not 100% about is the cvt since it hasn't been out in market long enough to know it's long life outcome. Any vehicle under 50k miles (usually)won't show much mechanical issues. I'm the kind of person that after a while tries to find flaws in everything....and i sincerely can't seem to find any. Hope that helped. let me know if you have any specific questions

That's exactly why I want to get a pre-owned 2013 so I can get it for that price or below if possible. Anyways, I understand your concern about the CVT and I would be too. I've read conflicting reviews but so far no issues with yours right? Also, I want it for commuting to work but I go out of town quite often. How does it do in terms of punching it to go? like power wise, are you happy with it? I test drove it once but I obviously couldn't do much that's why I'm asking. Well thanks again for your input dude, it's helping and I'm excited to get me one.

    +Cesar I. I'm leasing to own. yes, 19k is the final price of the car. in my opinion, it's best to lease to own. you get to test drive it for a while before you completely purchase it. I've owned one mustang gt, one cobra and a cbr600.. i know speed by now. as long as you take the ecomode off and put it in sport, it'll haul ass! I've taken it to 120 and it got there fast! overall, I'm extremely impressed by it and would definitely advice in favour of purchasing one. i travel an average of 75 miles per hour on the highway and about 80% of my commute is highway. i do 31 miles per gallon per tank of gas.

While I'm very happy with my new Accord, I wish I had waited a few more months to compare it against the new Legacy. From what I can tell they did a really nice job with it and I would have seriously considered it. The onboard tech offerings are now competitive and the new model is nice looking.

    You buy the Accord because it has the perks of basically everything the Camry has that "Matters" and because u actually care about having fun and a fun/ more confident and engaging refined expierence/drive. Toyota is a box to go from place to place and that is pretty much all.. Honda has everything that Toyota has but they go farther to make their cars much more fun and nice and engaging to drive while offering all the practicals and more that Toyota does instead of just being a box for point A to B and similar pricing aswell i believe.
