The best car in class

I’m 36 and loves sports cars. Something nice about an efficient well built car. Simple styling means it SHOULD age well. The more basic the design the better it ages. Could be a good car to last for 10 years to me

Excellent video!! And yes, Ulises at Braman Honda is the guy to see!

Thank you i appreciate it

The 1.5 has been refined internally plus the turbo is rework for less lag and more power down low. Also , structural improvement's make it safer

Thanks for the review, man. Just to let you know, the Honda hybrids don’t have a CVT. It’s driven by the electric motor at below 45 mph, and above that it uses a direct drive gear setup. It’s marketed as “eCVT” for simplicity. The 1.5T Accord uses a CVT. But each transmission is different. The eCVT is superior and feels better to drive.

@@DriveOnReviews I was looking at another car. The window sticker said it had 17" tires. Under the options though, there was a charge for the optional 18" wheels, which it did have. I guess that's what they mean by "stretch" tires.

$43k?!?!?!?! Yeah riiiiight! Honda smoking that good ish!

Me too , Honda did a fantastic job with this new generation

0:13 that’s entirely too expensive for a Honda especially lookin like that.

I definitely haven’t been a big fan of the outgoing generation’s interior or exterior but Honda certainly knocked that incoming gen out of the park with all its aesthetics. The only reason I wouldn’t personally purchase one would be because of the seemingly underwhelming powertrains, but otherwise, it looks to be a great and much needed product offering in their evolving lineup.

I don't like the silver accents on certain colors but that can easily be painted. I like it. I wish they would've been a tad bit more aggressive on the front end though. I can't believe Kia is going to kill off the K5, if that's true.

Gonna correct you a little here. Rear turn signals differ by length… only the touring gets the biggest turn signal (trunk area included)….. rest have a smaller blinker with faux/fake/hollow trunk element

Thanks for the great review. Need to adjust the lighting on this video, however. It's very dark. I've had 3 Accords, last being a '13 Touring. Great cars and I am sure the new one is too. But, $43k!? No thanks. Besides I no longer need for a 4-door sedan and they dropped the 2.0 turbo.

Here's to hoping the next Accord and TLX (or equivalents) will offer EV versions. Still loving our '11 Accord coupe but hate the now dated fuel economy.

When you quote price give the REAL PRICE out the door. Markups, fees, addons load over $5,000 . Comfortable car that is taking you for a ride.

did the 2.0t offer adaptive dampers ? Seems like this ia back step, not just the engine.

Did the crown drive better than this?

i love everything except the vents. this is an extremely minor inconvenience, but most car air fresheners were tailored to the old vent design :/

Was going to switch from a 2020 to a 2023 CRV but do not like the black treatment, air ducting and exhaust trim. The new Accord has much cleaner styling without the 'busy' look. IMO, the CRV is geared to a younger generation. I disagree with their marketing strategy in this area.

Just a heads up: The Honda Accord Hybrid does not come with a spare tire. If you have a non-hybrid version you get a spare. I have a horror story about not having a spare.
