Nailed it. It's a nice car but he wants the ex on an lx budget. If only he researched a little more before he spent the hard earned money his parents earned to buy him this car.

Definitely agree on with you on the poor quality of the sound system, and the amount of road noise I can hear while driving. Good video man!

i agree about the sound system, rattling noise and also when my accord sites outside in the worm weather the dashboard ( specially above the string wheel )sounds like some one pilling the velcro straps. i did take it to Honda dealer ship where i got the car from and they could not able to figure it out where this noise is coming from.

Is the sound system different from 2.0 vs 1.5T? If so, is it noticeably better?

Thanks for the vid and being helpful instead of trying to hype up the new Accord. There are sooooo many vids on KZread all over it's tip already.

Hey, Have you had your coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid changed yet? If so, at what mileage?

I drove a 2018 for 2 full weeks while my 2017 Honda Accord exl was in the shop and I can say from driving both for extended time is the new Honda does have noticeable more lag than my 2017!

Got the 2018 Accord 2.0T Sport. Sound system isn't the best but it is still great. Volume pushes to 40 but I never go above 30 as its too loud. So I don't hear any distortion. Purchased songs versus ripped songs perform MUCH better. Never heard the swishing sound but turbo actually sounds incredible. The car does not feel as fast as my old 3.5L V6 BUT when I do the math and count my 0-100, the results prove me wrong. I was driving an older Toyota Avalon 3.5 V6. I was getting 0-100 in like 8.5 seconds. Mind you its older, heavier etc. But I'm pushing 0-100 6 seconds flat. One thing I don't like is the amount of wheel spinout. Definitely reduces how quickly I am able to accelerate from flat. However, lets not forget, this isn't a true sports car. For what I paid, I can truly say, I am very happy. Stop wanting M3 performance from your new accord. Its awesome that you got a new car, congrats about that! But don't forget, you got an awesome reliable car with some great features. Love it for that!

I own 2.0T sport and the turbo lag is felt but not any worse than expected. I think the hire torque ratio makes all the difference. I agree with the sound system and I am also getting noise on the interior. More than I would like sometimes but I wanted the 19” with a lower profiles for the look so I will take the good with the bad.

Yeah I bet the 2.0T helps minimize the lag quite a bit more. Congrats on the new car. Overall the car is great, another video will be coming on that.

I have owned/driven Honda automobiles for over 25 years. I will only drive a Honda. I am very loyal to brand. Picked up a 2018 Accord LX about a month ago. Not a big fan of the exterior styling, particularly the rear of the car, but my LX is possibly the smoothest, most comfortable Honda I have owned. No complaints thus far with the driving characteristics of the car. My only complaint is that the information screen (radio) on the US version of the LX is NOT a touch screen. It does nothing except display the radio station, adjust settings and display a clock. From what I understand, the Sport and Touring models comes with touch screens and Apple car play but not the LX model. This seems like a cheap out on Honda's part. I can't imagine that the price difference between the two systems are that much. 50 bucks maybe? Touch screen should standard on all models.

So, it has been 2 years now. How's that accord hold up vs. your expectation?? What's broken and what's not?

I agree with you on the three points interior noise and turbo lag. The car struggles on city driving, once it gets above 45 it’s fine but very noticeable 0-45

Honda is well know for road noise! As if you guys haven' t own a Honda before? The stereo part, I agree. My nephew 2006 Accord LX has better sound system then my 2015 Accord.

I am fortunate to own a 2016 Honda Accord V6 Touring coupe. Seeing these reveiws I am so glad I have the older V6 model rather than the new 2 litre 4 cylinder.

I am just curious. Is it turbo lag or the rubber band effect from the CVT? I know CVTs off the line are not quick

@garageprojects8175

probably a combination of both. Honda wants to increase MPG, but there definitely is noticeable lag as well.

Is this a 1.5L or 2.0L engine? There is a huge difference between the two vehicles, since the 2.0 is based off of the EX 2017 model and the 1.5 is based off of the LX 2017.

I couldn’t agree more. I own a 1.5 and noticed the tire air pressure doesn’t say witch tire needs air. That bugs me alottt

any recommendations for the terrible seats? I know you don't have a LX like me. It didn't bother me on a 10min test drive.. but 20-30-45mins... terrible. painful. ruins the whole experience for me.

Due to the larger rims and tighter suspension on the sport model, I would assume it would have more road noise compared to the LX or EX-L.

Good point! Mine only seems to lack the deeper base that a sub would give. I rarely have to go past 12 with the volume.

I just got a 2020 lx and things haven't changed: -A lot of noise is heard from the rolling. -the audio system is not good (maybe it is because of the version you bought, but there are many brands at a lower price with better audio systems) - The third and most worrying is that when accelerating and decelerating, I have felt a kind of jerkiness of the transmission, I have seen some videos that talk about CTV, I am waiting to get to the first service to review this matter....it worries me !

I had some rattles on my 2018 Sport 2.0T. Took it to the dealership and they got them all fixed under warranty. No lag issues with the bigger engine.

I am considering the Hybrid of this machine - coming from a 2010 German made Passat....I hope it doesn't disappoint. I am not too picky....but want reliability, MPG and interior comfort. I hope the seats are OK for longer drives!

I have the 2018 2.0t and I definitely have to agree with you about the sound system. It is garbage in my opinion and is the first thing Im gonna change also.

FYI the same size tires are on my Volvo S60 polestar BUT they come with noise reduction foam in the tires. Not sure the accord has that.

Gas Swish: I heard my gas swish around in the tank on my 2004 Accord EX-L, so that's not new. Next: Rattle: I had a rattle in my dash towards the driver's door - took me MONTHS to isolate it. It's a flimsy piece of plastic in the driver's foot well - towards the gas pedal. I stuffed a folded up paper towel in there - no more rattle. Still, disappointing that I had to do this to a new car - and a Honda no less! I wasn't comfortable taking the car to the dealership and letting them tear down the dash to locate the rattle... Anyone else's parking sensors go crazy while sitting at a stop light with other cars around? Waiting for a firmware update to come out to address that... You're the ONLY KZread video that I've found on how to change the engine oil. THANK YOU!

Reason why there’s such a noticeable lag, has to do with the cvt transmission as well. The lag isn’t as bad on the 2.0t with the 8speed automatic transmission

Hey i agree with you for the most part although i drive a 2016 Accord Sport with CVT. The sound system is crap. I also own a 2002 Accord v6 and the sound system blows the 2016 away hands down. Why did Honda change? I also have lots of road noise in the 2016. Gas swishing around, yup you're right same here,,,, turn up the sound system. Finally i don't have a turbo but i also had the lag but I've found out that if you turn off the Econo Switch that makes a big difference. Never the less i still enjoy my Honda.

Not mentioned here but on the Honda forum. The hood is very thin and not properly supported. It buffets in the wind and flashes the sun reflection in your eyes. This is common to all 2018 Accords. If you want power, get the 2.0 and do the Hondata ECU flash. You get a huge improvement in torque and up to 50 more horsepower.

Gas sloshing doesn't seem like a big deal to me, I've heard it in every car I've owned including a 2006 and 2016 Accord.

I have a whack sound system in my Honda CR-V 2014, my system in my Honda CR-V 2000 had a separate bass and treble control and a great thumping Sound, and was a cassette deck instead of cd, but I actually love because I recorded live concerts from my cd to cassette and numerous people use to come to me and ask me where I bought those great concerts from

the garage is the only time it bothers me as well.

I agree with much of what you say. The sound system IS very disappointing for sure. My previous car was a 2013 Toyota Corolla, and that roller skate had a much nicer sounding stereo. The AM radio tuner sounds particularly bad. Go ahead and scoff, but there's some good stuff on AM and AM can actually sound pretty good with a quality receiver -- unlike the one on the Accord. The stereo sounds best when it's playing streaming audio like iHeartRadio or Google Music.

Not sure why the TD's. The Civic forums are fully of posts about rattling, and the bad audio quality, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Accord is the same. Two other Accord to Camry videos I've seen say the Camry is quieter. And a few people have mentioned lag with the 1.5T Civic, but it can be tuned to help that. So you're mentioning of all these things is believable. Although the interior looks pretty nice to me, and gas sloshing isn't worth mentioning. My old Civic did the same. It does have a gas tank, with gas in it.

I have the 2.0 Sport AT. Can’t agree with much on your list, except for road noise. But with low profile tires, I’d expect as much. Especially on concrete roads. The stereo isn’t anything special, but it’s not horrible. I turned up the bass level and it made the sound rich enough for casual listening. You should have noticed the audio quality before you purchased; I did. The car is overhyped, and the shape isn’t for everyone, but it’s a great value for everything included for the price. I hope you can enjoy your Accord even with these 5 shortcomings

I agree about the sound and the amount of vibrations in the dash. I also dislike the plastic tip on the dipstick

Your right the main issue being the 1st year for the 2.0 and 10 speed trans, hopefully honda solved any long term reliability problems, the main one being direct injection turbo engine carbon build up, which has afflicted all manufacturers with problems early on.

I feel like all Honda’s have crap stereos. I have a 17 civic si and it sucks. The stereo.

The gas tank is supposed to have internal baffles to minimize any sloshing noises.

I heard the gasoline a lot in my 2014 Civic all the time. I was surprised the first time I heard it lol! I hear it once in a while in my Mazda 3.

We had a 2016 civic ex-t. It also suffered from dash rattles especially in winter. Also the honda sensing was annoyingly intrusive. Sometimes it would alert me to brake when there was nothing there. My wife just got a 2018 toyota camry xse 4cyl . It has a new 8 speed and i feel it gear hunts a lot plus the car is rated at 29 city 39 highway. That's bull. I will give toyota a thumbs up for the solid build. No rattles even when hitting pot holes is quiet. Nothing feels cheap inside. Just annoyed by the fake mpg and 8speed always down shifting

I love my 2018 Ex-L. I don’t hear gas swish, but I don’t drive on empty.. haha.. the stero seems fine, but a sub would be nice. There is some road noise, and I had one piece of trim that seemed to rattle. The stock tires were garbage!!! And the rotors are too small for the speed of this car. It does get up and go! The transmission is soooooo smooth! A great car for the price. And some of the best body styling in 2018!

I'm surprised the radio was that much of an issue; car radios were almost all crap when I was younger, but most of the recent model cars I've driven with radios I disliked had one specific issue, like door-mounted tweeters that were too raspy, or bass speakers in small sealed enclosures that created muddy resonances. If the largest speakers are mounted on the decklid, using the trunk as an enclosure, I seldom have a lot of complaints. As for turbo lag, I guess they still haven't gotten it down to the point where it's not noticeable, but the only car in which it really bothered my was a Saab with a manual transmission; nothing worse that trying to work a clutch with an engine that has no starting torque, and that Saab had kind of a high first gear. Anyway, it would be nice if they could put some kind of electric preboost on turbos to make the lag a non-issue. I assume that will be easier one more cars are sold as "light hybrids".

I have a 2019 Accord Touring Hybrid and I absolutely hate the car. Stereo sucks. It's ridiculous how much it sucks. I get irritated knowing what a song SHOULD sound like when I hear it in this car. Tried making adjustments with the settings, but it's no better. It is painfully boring to drive. The touring's adaptive suspension is like driving a floaty old GM car from the 70s or 80s. Putting the car in sport mode - which seems counter to the point of a hybrid - makes no noticeable change in the adaptive suspension. I expected a lot more from an Accord, given how much the automotive press raves about it as well as previous ownership experience with a 2001 Accord Coupe EX-L . It actually is quiet inside. The seats are not comfortable. The seat cushion is too short. I cannot find a comfortable position no matter how much I try. The trim piece on the outside base of the door window sills is so cheap it feels like it will fall off when I touch it with the window down. Same experience in a 2019 Sport loaner from the dealership - that car was LOUD (engine, road and outside noise and equally terrible stereo). The touring appears to be much better insulated. The Honda Sensing is WAY too sensitive. Going around turns on the freeway, if traffic is too heavy, it will jab the brakes HARD or flashes at me to brake when there's no one near being close in front of me. It's incredibly annoying and VERY unnerving when it happens. Doesn't change behavior if I set to different car length distance when using adaptive cruise. The point is that it should take the stress out of driving. I can do better on my own, if it weren't for the false alarms from lane departure. I really do regret buying this car. I've had it for two months. I absolutely hate it.

Most of the "turbo lag" is because of the cvt. Cvts don't have that initial throttle response like the manual or the 10 speed auto. Last gen with the 2.4 had that lag even though it was naturally aspirated

Mate I have the 18 2.0t sport I don't know but mine is quick no lag from the turbo and the gas tank swishing around not mine no rattles , road noise is not bad at all , I am coming from a 2012 e550 Benzit0 I'm not missing out at all I love the car people always compliment the car.Honda did a great job with the accord 100 percent love it only compliant I have the seats don't hug you.

Funny. My ‘12 civic coupe, no road noise. Same thing with my ‘07 Ridgeline. I LOVE my HRV. I have the top model and I have the same issue. A lot of road noise. The sound system is crap. I feel like Honda is just churning it out now. I don’t feel it was “there” like it use to be ? KWIM ?

Try looking more into a Mazda 6 2019.

Until my lower back gave out and I had to have surgery- I detailed cars as a second job. I got to drive a lot of different cars and got to know them inside and out. I would rate Toyota slightly above Honda in holding up over time. I’ve seen too many Honda’s with faded interiors and paint that had clear coat failure. But, that said, I bought my youngest daughter a 2014 Civic EX-L and we baby it. Always garage kept and washed/wax often (wife helps now). So I would say Honda’s need more TLC than Toyota - but at least they hold their resale value.

My 2018 Camry sound system is really nice... Always been surprised by how good Toyotas stock systems are. Very balanced and crisp. Road noise is non existent. Even on my sport trim. Hearing gas is... Really weird. No turbolag is what I love about Toyotas engines. Just press and go. You might need a tune. Will say the Camry interior is about the same. It's sportier (bucket seats stabdard and stuff) but vibrations and noise happen in the Camry too. Had some parts replaced and tightened at the dealer for free though. Yep...been waiting since September last year to even get hands in trunk mats for my 2018 Camry. Love your honesty.

Had the ML system in my 2013 GS350 and it was exceptional, so I agree Toyota makes some good audio systems. I disagree about the v6 though. The 2.0t Accord with the 10-speed is faster than your Camry and that's just a fact. 0-60 in 5.5 sec and a 1/4 mile trap speed of over 100 mph; those are near-sports car numbers. The "lag" hes whining about is because he has the eco-1.5 liter mated to a horrible cvt. The 2.0t has no lag at all.

I like the Fender system in my 2016 VW Passat SEL. One of the reasons I chose that trim level.

direfranchement I haven't gotten to sample the Fender system in the VW but I would say that most signature sound systems in cars today are pretty good. Just a massive improvement over sound systems from a couple decades ago.

I would look at the 2019 Jetta when it comes out it will have a longer wheelbase and more cabin room. If that doesn't do it then look at the Passat but for you and your size I think the Jetta will be fine. VW does well with turbos I believe they mount them right on the intake manifiold which helps reduce lag. They come off the line quick. Watch the Passat vs the Sonata, despite a 75hp difference it gets out in front of the Sonata which takes too much spool time. Passat is 200lbs lighter also. The VW's will give you a better ride than the Accord especially the Passat.

After two EX accords. I decided not to go with the 2018. I switched to KIA and love the car.

Definitely agree bro I just bought one as well and the system is horrible I had an 2007 Jeep Wrangler and had a way better sound system I would definitely like for you to another video about this topic when you get your new sound system

its the same engine as the 1.5t civics and the 2.0t type r. Not a lot of parts yet but they know the engine and capabilities. the first thing i would do is get ktuner. You can adjust the turbo settings to aggressive as well as transmission if automatic. i think 250hp on the automatic will be doable. then traction becomes an issue

I really want to like the new accord, but I just cant get past the rear end styling. Sad to hear the stereo is pathetic, I was more than impressed with the bose system in my 06 accord, I guess they went down hill since then.

Bose would be a huge upgrade!

If you want more power and better throttle response under your foot, invest in a K&N air filter when it becomes available.

iShrink 420 already was planning on it! I have a KN on my Tahoe

thanks. was about to get one.

The stereo in my 2018 Ridgeline is total crap. I didn't try it when I test drove it. Honestly the AM radio in a 67 mustang sounds better. Honda cuts corners in the oddest places now. My fault live and learn.

my mom has 2018 pilot and has an amazing sound system stock

continuation of below - the owner's manual has no information about using a car wash. Despite the matte finish on the dashboard, there is an unpleasant glare when sun strikes it directly. No one has a custom car cover. Not happy with the lack of a spare tire although this wasn't a deal breaker.

That would be the same 1.5 L engine they've been using in the 2017 Civic and the 2017 fwd CR-V, not an "all new". The turbo lag is minimal and the horsepower and torque graphs show that power comes on at low rpms, unlike the old turbos. I do think they should have gone a little bigger, like with a 1.8L engine. Even the 2.0 L upgrade is a little small and limited. Road noise? I haven't seen any decibel level readings in new car reviews lately but it is important.

Hearing gas moving around happens is damn near ANY vehicle, especially on a full tank. I hear it in my 2018 Accord, my wifes 2018 Equinox, heard it in my 2015 Silverado, hear it in my inlaws 2016 Silverado. Of course youre going to hear liquid moving around in tank when there is minimal noise from other things. Just like if you shook water in a bottle or jug (thats not filled to the brim and sealed). I do not hear any clicking in mine The sound is poor but isnt terrible. Made a few adjustments to fade, mid, bass, and treble + adjusting equilizer on my ipod helped. Also songs ive paid for on itunes sound a hell of a lot betre than ones ive downloaded randomly over the years I guess i dont really notice a turbo lag. When in sport mode and i step on it it goes. #5 shouldnt even count lol. Like you said its a new gen
