Great review! I was shopping various Hondas around this price point and drove one of these. CPO passport was $500 cheaper so I did that, but these are great appliances for what it’s worth. Also yeah I noticed newer center consoles don’t have lights even in some expensive cars, annoying that they’re cutting little stuff like that and two map pockets etc.

I think the exact same way as Charlie with this car. Only a few ppl understand the benefits of this over SUVs.

I agree as well. In comparison to the Ford Escape and Nissan Kicks, the petty things I found that I didn't like are seemingly shorter sideview mirrors, 2 type C chargers and one car charger in the middle console (I thought the front middle dimly lit area was hopefully a wireless charger, but no.. just an awkward place to put your plugged in phone. Nissan Kicks had the audacity to have a better reverse camera from the bird's eye view and beeping sounds when parallel parking (which is not new but still helpful) too close to cars. They also have downward extending sun visors and THAT is a game changer for us short people. I've had my car for 3 months and I have yet to find the rear windshield wiping control. For the amount we're paying, you would at least hope for front seats to both have adjustable lumbar support and height. What kind of car doesn't have back row ventilation? The Honda. 😮‍💨 I guess it makes up its shortcomings by having exceptional gas mileage 🚗💨

I tested Camry and accord. Accord wins with more pep, great looks, and comfortable cabin.

Charlie this model is very expensive Having rubber wheel, no mirror turn signal cloth seats no rear vents no connectivity horrible sound insulation small screen No Auto rear closing windows Camry SE upgrade offers all above and cheaper by 2K

Great point. But camry tech feels old, isn't as smooth of a ride for me, and didn't give me the luxury classy feel. Camry gives a more sporty rough feel. But both awesome rides

​@@LTGONZ0 Not to mention Camrys suspension tuning it's super awkward I daily a 2020 and honestly the suspension does not give confidence in cornering etc and it's the SE model. Tech IS old feeling for sure., One thing though that 8 speed and the base engine is surprisingly strong .. especially highway passing from 55-80 I was pleased at the amount of torque in reserves and the ability to really feel comfortable passing ..

With this compared to the 1.5 in the Civic… I think it is the same thing for the Toyota Crown. Everyone complains about the sedan but they praise the signia- they are basically the same vehicle just a different rear and grill.

My biggest issue with the EX is the cut down radio.

The problem is a last-gen Accord EX felt much closer to a top of the line Touring model than this does. Now, part of it is the Touring for this generation is just better than last gen's Touring. But the EX definitely has some clear cost-cutting on the door panels and the infotainment. I drove this and it felt less premium than a last-gen EX. Could just be me tunnel-visioning on the cost-cutting details, but those are my thoughts.

Lol you really loathed that steering wheel and i can definitely agree. This gives my 2008 base accord coupe vibes i hated the steering wheel but everything eless was great. One thing they could have omitted in exchange for the leather steering wheel is the dual climate.. its overrated honestly most people sync temps anyways

It’s not awful for what it is, not liking the CVT that much but aside from that, I wouldn’t might driving this car.

Would you get a 2024 Accord EX or a 2025 Camry SE hybrid?

Does have higher ground clearance? Compared to previous model

I really don't like how Hondas all look alike inside. I mean, I like the design, but damn if I'm paying for an Accord I don't want the civic to look as good! Otherwise, might as well get the civic!!!

When you temper your expectation and just see the ex trim for what it is, it's a fantastic competent car.

No literally the majority of accord buyers want a reliable, economical, and spacious car that’s somewhat affordable. This checks all those boxes. If you want something more fun the hybrid is surprisingly quick and comes with much better wheels

heck yeah I see that Pixel 8 Pro plus pixel watch combo- I have the same- amazing combo. And amazing review! I agree, the screen was a deal breaker hence why I got a sport hybrid, for under MSRP. 0 complaints. I drive on congested roads and traffic and little highway, and I get 55MPG (hand calculated to 53MPG). 0 Complaints, plan to keep it for the long haul. Great review again!! Also... I might be weird but I dont mind the audio system one bit. Blessings.

As a owner of a much loved 2020 Sport 2.0T, I can say that the Accord went from fun, fast and aggressive to bland, vanilla, slow, heavy, and lumpy. It looks like a dressed-up 4yr old Malibu ...... but with less power.

No heated steering wheel is a killer for me. I'll be waiting for the new Camry and Sonata hybrid.

No rear vents on an ex? Honda is just dropping the ball here.

You’re surprised that there’s no rear vents on the trim level just above the base model?

That's a very noisy cabin and I saw the review on the audio. Definitely a no list.

This is the freaking problem. I want this car but there's no rear seat ventilation. How am I going to cool off my passengers? With a long tube or hose? I would rather have no dual climate and or heated seats but have the ventilation. Ztupid decision.

Not a real fan of the 1.5 turbo. Oil dilution has NOT been fixed & this has been going on since 2017. Honda needs to do better. Wished i had bought the Camry, but i will be definitely trading this in for some other brand, probably Toyota. Sorry Honda, you lost a customer & long time Honda owner. Your just not producing a reliable car anymore no matter what model.
