You feel the difference drastically between the 1.5 & 2.0. While you value your gas and everything. The 2.0 is very efficient and had power to back it up. I bought the touring model for those reasons, but the main reason to buy the 2.0. RESALE VALUE the 2.0 will ratain a higher value than the 1.5 in the long run.

I have an altima 2.5s and this 1.5t is quicker more reliable and more efficient even do it has a smaller engine .. I saw the 2.0t and test drove it, yes its fasters, but over all if a fast sedan is what I was looking for well I wouldn't be buying a Honda Accord..

My SUV gets 18 MPG, I wanted something which got at least 30 and was fun to drive. I’m seeing 32 so far (barely broken in) so I’m thrilled with it. The Civic’s manual had a little shorter clutch and throw so it was more fun, but it was just too small for me. Fortunately this car had been sitting on the lot for months so I was able to get a better price on it than my spouse got on a Civic EX six months ago (when I first saw this car). I didn’t like the styling in pictures and I don’t usually care for black interiors, but I fell in love with this car when I saw it in person. I hope to keep it for a long time (especially because I think the manual transmission will be disappearing in the next 1-2 generations of cars).

I'm hitting 55-60k miles a year maybe more tbh but I have a 02 escalde and I got tired of filling the tank up every 2-3 days so I got me the 1.5t because of fuel efficiency like you said I'm all highway to work and i needed a realiable car and driving an escalde wasnt fitting my needs😂🤣🤣 but tbh the 2 months I've had it I've been in love with it🤷🏾‍♀️ and GAS! I am liking this 33mpg when I got 12mpg in the truck so it's been good so far😊👍🏽

I got a 2.0t 6MT. I average about 24 MPG with mostly city and short freeway jaunts. Ive got a bit over 30 on long freeway trips. Im 5 months in and at 4300 miles and drive about 5 miles to and from work. I love it. It has just the right amount of power for me. I drove a 1.5t 6MT. that was a hard no. Previous car was a 2004 TSX with a K24 and I didnt feel like the 1.5 was an upgrade from that. Therefore there would have been no point in getting the accord. I do feel like the factory tune has this 2.0t neutered a bit. I am tempted to do a hondata tune to really unleash it but Im afraid for my warranty. Dude you should waited for the new Insight.

Hybrids suck on the freeway/highway. People keep forgetting this. If he does a lot of driving on highway/freeway roads, the only way he gets the advertised 47 mpg highway is if he goes 65MPH and below and hope the road is completely flat or going downhill. Who drives 65mph and below for long distances????? and combine that with elevation changes, it actually gets worse gas mileage on the highway compared to standard 1.5T gas engine. EVERYONE does not realize this. city driving sure hybrid wins, but again if majority of driving is highway/freeway long drives, the hybrid really isnt best bet.

I got the 1.5 brand new (12miles). They were asking $28,000 for the car. I talked them down to $23,700. With that price I didn't think twice. I rolled out before the sales manager changed his mind.

I’m at 46k miles on my 1.5 after 2 year buying it used with 32k miles but if I get a job is 30 miles away or an medical courier driver with the car I’m probably driving it until I have stable income for something better later on. I also might to college slightly far too so that be ton of driving. I’m also in studying for cybersecurity or somewhere in tech stuff if I can get a job in those industries with stable salary I will finally get rid of the accord.

I would have gone with a hybrid for driving 50k miles a year. The battery packs last 10 years regardless of miles. By the time the battery pack was out the car would be pretty worn out.

I've driven 1.5T 2019/2018 as compared to camary 2016, Hyundai sonata, elantra, and old v6 es300 I prefer this one. It picks acceleration so fast and really fun to drive. I'd take this turbo over anything if I were to drive many miles on daily basis.. On the plus note it gives an average of 33-35 mpg. Accord are usually in v6 class and is designed accordingly.

I bought the 1.5 Manuel in 2018 due to getting 4K off list . People were wanting the 2.0 manual and the dealers here were not dealing at all on the 2.0 . The 2.0 would have been 7 k more at the time .

I got the 2.0 back in March of this year of course. I traded the 2016 Ex-T. That was the plan until the new accord came out. With the 1.5 I felt the engine was a little small and under powered for the car size plus it has the CVT. I didn’t want another CVT to drive as a daily driver it wasn’t fun but ok. The 2.0 sport has the features that the civic Ex T had and more so getting an 1.5 sport I would of been bored with it. I also liked the fact 10spd is not new of course but Honda and the accord is the only front wheel drive sedan out there that has the 10 spd others are rear wheel drive so that got my attention as well. I did get the 2.0 sport platinum white for $28,000 the Camry 2018 I was going to consider with the v6 was $37,000. That’s a big price difference for my budget.

I picked the 1.5T for a daily commuter and fuel mileage. Also it’s cheaper to maintain and car insurance is cheaper than the 2.0. The goal was to find a reliable low cost to maintain car that gives me a nice quality ride. Cost to Benefit ratio. Plus I picked up my 1.5T sport for 22,500 before tax. It’s something I wanted and NOT needed. I can live without the 2.0 extra goodies. The goal is to pay it off ASAP. I choose to not to buy the 2.0 because that 4-5k can be use for my future goals. That 4-5k invested will have a greater appreciation than depreciation of the car.

@@goinoutlikegeez I love my Accord, the handling is pretty crazy for a bigger sedan. It out handles my old school 98 Acura Integra with mods. The power is not there like the 2.0, but when you do need it on the highway or straight its does pull. I took it to the mountains and it had no problem on sport mode to keep climbing. Took it out on Highway 1 in the Bay area and it took these sharp S curves like a champ, the brakes are solid.

Great review Sir ! I am planning on buying a mid-sized Japanese car either a Honda , Toyota and Subaru but I can't decide I am weary of Turbocharged engines but realized that the Japanese Turbocharged engines are far more reliable than the American and European cars please put my mind @ ease How reliable is the Honda 1.5 Turbocharged engines and can I keep it for a long time without too much headaches ?

Have you had any issues with carbon build-up?

I hear what your saying but dont let the 2.0T guys talking crap ruin the car for you. You could get one in the future prob tune it for even more power baby, prob love it, or the 2023 integra type s, ive had hondas my whole life and ive owned a few muscle cars. Went back to hondas thats what i like most. But i like to build cars not buy them factory. and drive em just to pay the note, taxes insurance. And the new cars value gonna sink like a stone unless your the dealer that has the used car then its like certified used best car ever right, but if you trying to trade your used car they low ball the fuck out cha. Like the broncos guys, I figure if im gonna lose money either way im gonna build the car i want since the car executives cant get it together cause their to busy counting beans. anyway keep doing what works for you and nobody elses opinion means squat unless their paying the note. Take care brother.

I have the same car but my seats are uncomfortable etc and no leg room when driving any advice how to make the comfort better

Great video and your other's great too! I have had the 1.5T for three weeks, and came from an 06 2.4. Having tremendous trouble getting used to the 1.5T and CVT. Just feels totally different than normally aspirated engine. Also, have a rattle coming from right rear of car, and a vibration on dashboard at certain speeds. Also, my winshield wipers make a ton of noise - not sure if anyone else experienced this? The radio is a constant disappointment and is upsetting every time I get into the car Otherwise, the car is fantastic! The interior is amazing as well as all of the electronics. Averaging about 31 MPG in city driving. It's not a perfect car, but it's a great car, and good for commuting.

I don't think people when they buy a car wants gas in their oil, but I did read that it was a problem. When I made my purchase of my car I did get the 1.5t, it was cheaper, and it was better for the long trips that I do. To top all that lifetime motor and tranny. So if it fucks up, it's all on Honda, so they better fix it, or give me a different car. Thanks for pointing that out though. I will be sure to have a talk with my service rep to ensure they maintain my motor because of the manufactures fuck up

Im also leaning toward 1.5 for expenses and overall comfort. I can buy 2.0t but it makes no sense. Add on that I really hate the shift buttons ..looks annoying to me.

Fuel economy and cost effective maintenance. Seriously, i lose several horses, so what? I'm not a wannabe ricer/racer boy anyway.

I went with the 1.5 too because at the end of the day it’s a Honda.. if I wanted to race some one I would of just got a Lexus or something 🤷‍♂️

I've been a Honda owner for years, from a 96, 2011, and now 2018 1.5t and I like the 2018. It's a great car and I'm not even at 50k yet. To each their own, and most time ppl just want to go fast and I chose not to get the 2.0 bc of the tires for one and secondly, the 1.5t has just as good of power as the 2.0. Just a little less, gas and car price for me was an issue also, but I'm satisfied.

I just purchased a 2020 Honda accord lx 1.5t in pearl white, with black interior. Paid $25.000cash, including all tax, tags,and fees, after several days of negotiations down from $28k+. Honda dealerships in new Jersey dont negotiate much if any at all. And no free oil changes, car washes, tire rotations, nothing comes free with the sale. They better at least give me 2 keys when I go pick it up. This is my 1st brand new car ever, and just got my dl back after a very long suspension. I picked the 1.5t mainey for cost. I'm not going to be racing it. The 17inch rims are big enough. I would have loved full leather, but leather trim will do. And the sunroof is also out of the question on that trim level. All in all, I love that fkn car, and feel it's the best $25.000 I have ever spent. And Hondas are bad ass anyway.👻💨💨💨💨💨

JUST GET A 1.5 THEN AFTER PAID OFF, SWAP THE 2.0...BUT NO MANUAL TRANSMISSION....THATS A BIG HELL NO FORVMOST

I drove both before deciding on the 2.0. The 1.5 with CVT is not in the same league as the 2.0 with 10 speed. My 2.0 gets 37 mpg on the interstate running 75 mph. It’s well worth the $4500 difference in price.

I know what you mean when you talk about the emotional aspect behind deciding what car you want to hold long term. I think it's one of the most important aspects when it comes to a big purchase in which every option in the category can check off all the needed or utilitarian purchases.

Personally went for the 2.0 for two reasons. Was coming out of 2015 tlx v6 and felt the power drop off would be to big. Second, was able to get manual. Pros: tech is very good, genuinely sporty, looks great, hugh inside - - cons: road noise, little but on stiff side. Overall like but do miss the v6 and some of the premium car goodies

I bought the 1.5 manual because I got almost 4 grand off . 22.300.I could not get but 500 off the 2.0 Manuel. The 2.0 was over 30 grand . This let me keep my Miata . I would of had to sell the Miata to get the 2.0 . Then paid the 2018 accord off in 13 months and bought a new rf Miata gt with gtx package . The 1,5 is a great daily with 37 mpg . I drove a 2.0 manual accord and it was quite a bit nicer than the 1.5 . Thinking about putting a Hondata tune on the 1.5 now . Anyone done this ?

Any updates? 4yrs later?

Bro, no offense, but you need to learn your words.

Immense horsepower, upgraded convenience features, and of course, better reliability with no CVT. It's totally worth that extra $5,000. I understand that you are looking at MPG, but bro, understand that because you're putting so many miles on your car, that CVT is bound to have a lot more problem than a regular automatic or manual. You will easily be spending $5,000 to fix that when the time comes. Beware 😂😂
