JAMAICAN TECH-DUDE dat anuh money bredda
I only like ur comment bcuz ur Jamaican as a matter a fact i didnt even read it.
JAMAICAN TECH-DUDE true asf a car meet in. I know people it mostly accords
Bro this is so real I just got me a 2015 Honda Accord Sport and I'm turning heads
I bought my accord sport a month ago, I love it. I never been a honda fan at all but I love my sport.
this cars a beauty
I test drove a 2013 Accord Sport 6-speed today and came away extremely impressed. I didn't want to go back to the dealership, I Just wanted to keep driving it! Very smooth power, precise steering, excellent body control and very comfortable interior. Honda understates the power of this engine so they don't bump up against the Acura ILX (201HP). Car and Driver dyno'd a '13 Sport and it put down 182 hp AT THE WHEELS. So it's likely closer to 200-210 hp. Think of it as a mature Civic Si. I demand A LOT of "sport" in my vehicles. My current car is a R56 MINI Cooper S 6-speed which I freakin' love. But I'm seriously considering this car. It's that much fun to drive! I haven't driven a Civic Si... I may consider one of those too...
The Civic Si was a blast to drive. I was considering an Accord Sport when I bought my Si. I've parted from my Si now though and moved on to something much more immature lol
@@mejia.fk8 :D :D I bought a 2020 Civic Si, then traded it in for a 2023 Genesis G70. Aiming for an Integra Type S if the markups ever come down to a reasonable level. :D
I just bought one a couple months ago with a 6-speed manual and I love it!!
How much ?..
@@essie3456 $4000 wrecked in front. I put another 4 grand into it.
Awesome review dude as always!! You can totally see when someone truly puts in an effort!!
I have a '13 sport. Super easy to work on...managed an amazing 40mpg on hwy. 30 average. installed a K&N filter for a couple of more ponies and even better milage. Make sure you change the cabin filter. VERY EASY to do and it will save you AC compressor. I love the SPORT, dual exhaust. .mini trunk wing and the 4 extra ponies..Got dealer down to 21.5K out the door....Love the 2016's!!!..arrh..
Accord sport has a slightly firmer suspension, and the cvt paddle shifters make passing on the highway very easy. You can paddle shift in regular drive or sport mode, with the tranny returning to regular mode fairly quickly in drive mode while sport mode holds "gears". Amazing ride, amazing looks and value.
The only problems with Hondas,which I have had a few, that you are limited in what options you want with the car. Either you are stuck without enough options or having to buy the top of the line just in order to get a navigation system having to spend a lot more than you want. So if you wanted the EX and not the EXL with a Navigation forget it. You don't get much more inside the car with the sport yet it looks better on the outside. You think with a sport you could get more than 4 speakers too etc...
I said the exact same thing!
Love the looks of the Sport model. I wish Honda would expand the Sport trim or at least offer a tech package with navigation, push button start, & a better sound system.
I have one of these - its just about to clock over 200,000 km... it drives like a dream.
Its exactly what he says it is, a Family Sedan that wont kill your soul lol
I have a small family so i needed to get a sedan, and the accord sport was the perfect mix between family and fun for me.
The manual gives me a bit of play time and the size and gas milage make it sensible for my family.
All in all its a great car and in the 15months I've owned it i've had very few complaints with it.
The one thing i absolutely hate is the fact that its a family sedan without a 60/40 back seat... so if I have something to haul I cant have my carseat or my son with me, which is more than a little annoying.
The wheels are nice, but if you ding them they're expensive. I made the choice to get 18" winter tires which made the road noise much louder and dropped the milage but not by much, and it was a dream in the winter. I live in Canada and we get some pretty intense snowfall and I had no problems all winter.
Apart from basic maintenance i've had no mechanical issues and i put on 45k KM's in the first year.
All in all I would recommend this car to anyone with a small family.
Excuse my ignorance but what's a 60/40 back seat ?
Jose Torres 60/40 would mean that the back seat folded down as two parts so that you could still have a passenger back there while hauling something too long for just the trunk so you folded down a seat. These new Hondas have no split folding seat so if you are hauling something that requires you to fold the seat down, no one can sit back there.
Have one of these and I absolutely love it. Engine and Transmission are bulletproof, Revs very well, Great MPG and great with friends as well. And on long distances its cruises very well.
What do you get for MPG? And does the Sport's suspension and larger wheels make the car ride harshly?
I test drove a 2013 Sport yesterday and loved it -- I'm picking it up Saturday! And I will forever hear "SpooOooort!" thanks to this video, lol.
John Noonan On highway when i cruise control 80mph I usually get 30-31 mpg
BUT cruising around town can range from spirited driving around 25mpg (hitting vtec) or as high as 35mpg.
Not a harsh ride at all! A all rounded well put together car. The perfect car imo.
Linda Ingmanson lmao yes this video is hella funny for that. Congrats! have a 2014 that I just paid off fully and will keep it for a while! Idk if I like the 2017 Accord, gets worst MPG but looks great
This car is amazing! I went to check it out at the dealership & it is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend this sedan to anyone looking into buy a car. Besides it's look, it is very spacious and comfortable. :)
Is it expensive ?
Got a Honda accord LX for 20,129 at the end of June. MSRP at the time was 23,200. I got a great deal
cant believe stephen hawkins is doing a car review
LMFAO!!!!
This is a "nice" car. Now here's the problem with that. As a Honda owner I want a great car. I have a Honda prelude that I love. It's a 2001 (the last year it was available in the us). My car has a 5 speed manual with 200hp. So 13yrs later why would I buy a bigger, heavier sedan that makes 5hp LESS! Why not a 240-250 hp 4! Or a 275hp 6 cylinder with the manual transmission? Honda can make a real enthusiast car. They just refuse to
You've compared the power of a sports car to a family sedan. That's not very logical. If you want a sporty gonna2,get an s2000
Contrary to what they said in the video, the Sport has the same engine as the LX. It has 4 extra ponies because the dual exhausts allows the engine to breathe better.
😂 the ghost voice saying sport is hilarious! Lol thanks for the review happy Halloween 🎃
this is why I bought my Accord Sport Manual!
One annoyance that no one seems to mention about the Accord is that the top centre screen reflects the base of the screen on sunny days.
On my test drive, it got so bad I could see the display properly. This is due to the slanted glass in front of the screen, which perfectly directs any glare from the base of the screen to the drivers face. Bit of an oversight unfortunately.
Otherwise I thought the interior is pretty well thought out.
HONDA PUT A MOONROOF ON IT ALREADY SO I CAN GO BUY ONE! WE NEED A MINOR REFRESH! ANYTHING FOR 2016??
Would get this in a heartbeat compared to others in the segment
The LX model actually also has a chrome exhaust finisher. The Sport model has two exhaust pipes as opposed to one on the LX.
I bought a grey 2014 accord sport last week ,I had leather and heated seats added at the dealer...KATZKIN...Nice!!!. I traded a new F!50 sport and I am loving this car. Awesome fuel mileage.
haven't drove a Honda ever since i had my 98 integra back in the my hay days as a teen... jumped right into Lexuses after that.. a couple of v8s .. a couple of v6's
This Accord Sport i-4 with the paddles is probably the best car I've driven yet
pictures and online doesn't do this car justice.. you have to see it on the road
+Xentenon tell me about it, I'm looking to get the old E60 M5 I think or some AMG
Craig does the best reviews!!!!
So besides bigger wheels, the sport doesn't really do anything for handling....
The lack of a sunroof and the lack of 60/40 split seats hurt. Would buy but needs more options. I'm looking for an Accord Si basically
I love the color !
Good review I learned a lot from your review.
Good review, any changes for 2014 Model.
I got an Acura MDX and I like it way better. My son will be getting this car soon.
Honda makes the BEST CVT. Period.
Love your reviews man, keep it up !!
This guy should start his own channel and call it craigcartips lol
I jus got mines I love it!
I’m torn on getting either this car of the same year in a manual or getting a 2013 civic SI which is also a manual. What it comes down to is reliability and resale value. Which one comes out on top? Can anybody help with this?
what did you end up doing? lol
@@KappaCowI ended up getting a 2017 civic hatchback sport touring haha. It’s not a manual but for resale sake and having updated interior tech it made the most sense. 2013 just had too much depreciation as of 2021. Had I bought the 2013 model I would have gone with the Si, as it still holds better resale value and a very hard to find now.
it also has a beefed up stabilizer bar for suspension.
Looks better than the tlx lol
is the gdi engine in honda prone to carbon build up? i really wanted this car until i started hearing about problems with a gdi.. now im not so sure.... HELP!!!! i havent heard any cases online about extreme carbon build up in hondas, but also honda hasnt mentioned that theyve done anything to prevent it....
This guy is good, i just didnt like the crazy music and jump cuts at the beginning
Sad part is that most drivers who buy the Accord Sport are getting it with the CVT automatic.
Good news is that Honda makes pretty good CVTs.
Personally I think the Accord is one of the best all around vehicles but there are a few things that bother me. The lx and sport trim only has 4 speakers and you have to upgrade to the ex-l to get nav. Although I think the standard screen and camera are great there competitors offer a lower price for more features. Hondas are reliable but no longer a bargain for there price imo.
Great video Autoguide team.
great review and great car as well! I actually just purchased one 2 months ago, same trim with a CVT and man this car drives amazing! CVT is the best I have driven compared to others and yeah it just feels so damn smooth!
great new outlook on reviewing cars...good job guys
I'm not so sure that it really is a four horsepower difference. Car & Driver tested the EX-L I4 as taking 7.5 seconds to reach 60 MPH, versus just 6.6 seconds for the Sport with the 6MT. I don't know of many four cylinder large cars that come anywhere close to that (even the top-spec Fusion is slower).
I agree that there should be a V6 6MT sedan like there is with the coupe!
my borther has the sport manual the Michelin tires are awersome and stickyy and it sits really low to the ground & mpg is awesome 36mpg and its fun to drive!! win win!!
love this guy's reviews!
Wrong its 24k with the automatic CVT and 23k with the manual either way you still can add other options to the car and build it your way on Honda's website and raise the price.
I love this review. very informative and it's a manual transmission. auto reviewer don't normally get these cars to review.
I would compare my Prelude to a sports car but guess what? There isn't a Honda sports car in their American line up anymore. That was part of my point. Honda has a strong presence in racing. They make great cars and are capable of making a great high performance car. So please make one! Even a real sports model of the Accord would help. Not a trim level called sport but one with some real teeth to it. I still own my Prelude sh and I love it. My other car has over 300hp/300+ft lbs of torque. Top speed of over 150mph. You grow up make more money and want more performance. Just want Honda to cater to those of us that love the brand but desire more performance.
nsx
Acura
The music make this so fun to watch
Because its an upgrade from an LX with some EX features and a few other features that neither model provides..
Believe me, the automatic-CVT is fantastically smooth!!!
Honda.. As always.. Ever so brilliant! No matter what people might say, accord has been proven and tested
The little music from 0:46 to 1:07 reminded me of Air Gear.
Thats your opnion i have Michelins on my Wrx and love them there sticky and there very quiet. Quiet enough that my mom bought a pair for her Volvo xc90 because she thought they where so quiet.
The "Sport" echo cracked me up. Good job with this video! :D
Not a bad review. Thanks for the pub on the stick shift models.
I'd get the coupe sport with the v6 and manual. And the Subaru Legacy and VW Jetta both have Manuel's too
That was good. Thanks
So let me get this clear, the difference between the "Sport" and "LX" is the Sport has a fake dual exhaust chrome tip? Its just a chrome tip and not a real left exhaust?
Frank L Good points.
I knew 2.4 ltrs, let alone a 4 cylinder would not need a dual exhaust. In fact, the 3.5 V6 doesnt need a dual exhaust either, makes no sense as it can't utilize it. BUT, the dual looks NICE.
The sport just looks cool but nothing special.. i don't even like the paddle shifters as they make the car slower compared to just sticking it in "drive".
As for the EX, compared to the LX, only difference being stereo, bigger/prettier rims, and useless moonroof, its basically the same sht for $3k more.... not sure if its worth it.
I think LX wins IF you dont mind cloth seats.
And what's with the EX-L price? Its 3k more than the EX, and all it has is leather + cool LED lights.... hard to decide.
I'll most likely go for the LX but I may have to wait until the 2015 version being released by November as it will offer more colors than the 2013/14, a new updated fascia (possibly healights and back lights as well.. just a guess as they do this every two years to spark sales) AND "maybe" new rims for the LX as the current rims were from the previous model and its outdated :(
Frank L that's not true. Its adds a stiffer suspension. Idiot. Car and driver just did a long term with the accord sport !manual and LOVED IT!
dealers are sellng at 22k if i could get the price down to 19k or lower its sold i just turned 18 so i would love this car
Passat 1.8T with manual is way more exciting. The 1.8T also has tons of very easy very inexpensive bolt on mods available to shoot the whp number well over 300.
Maybe, but Passat is one of the most boring looking cars on the road. Same with the Jetta. The CC is a beautiful car though.
Great review, I must say in my personal opinion I think Honda gave the accord a great looking design..I bet if it had larger wheels, lower profile tires and a lower stance it would completely change others opinion on it being a dull car.. Keep in mind these aren't big changes but the affect would be huge.
Lmao great review Craig and the bloopers at the end kill me
Trunk opens fine! The engine hood don't open?
Good review with the charm of subtle humor ...
Best review yet.... sport.... sport!
LOL love this review, and this Honda Accord is actually one of the better looking one over the years. Aside from the horrible trunk design, looks pretty good. Can't wait for the next gen Honda Fit with their new drivetrain.
whats the difference with 4 hp??? honda needs to offer the manual on the v6 sedan!
I can't believe a accord review can this interesting!!!
Can anybody that owns a 2013 Honda Accord sport put up updates on their cars? I've always wanted a honda and I'm hoping to get one soon.
Get one, you won't regret it.
Do you own the Honda Accord Sport? I'm thinking about getting the automatic because my daily commute is so much stop and go traffic that I wouldn't be able to enjoy a manual.
Cesar I. I don't own one, but two of my neighbors do and they love it. Both have the automatic and have no complaints at all.
Cool thanks a lot for your input! I have a old 200hp v6 and I'm hoping that the accord sport should be enough to match what I'm use to driving.
Cesar I. No prob. I've owned many Hondas and loved them all, and you won't be disappointed.
Nice review. That's my next car
Amazing! Great review!
I totally agree with the rpm on the hway
Nice review. Good job
Thinking about switching to this car, over my jetta...
I agree with you 100 percent!
Sport means jack shit other than a few cosmetic variance on the mid-size segment. This car was made for going from A to B extremely well (room, fuel economy, safety). So tired of listening to these reviews talking about "enthusiast" and "performance". What a waste of time. Least freaking review the V6 if you're going to talk about performance.
Not available anymore on the Sonata, in older Sonatas yes.
he seems like he enjoys this job a lot :)
GIVE ME THAT CAR!
The V6 model comes with a 6-speed auto, not CVT.
idk why they didn't include an option with the v6.
Doesn't the Subaru Legacy offer a Manual transmission?
Great review! Very nice looking car. I would love to have this car!
does the 2013 have the same design as the 14?
yup. 2013 marks the redesign
Honda really needs to improve the look of their cars. They always look the same & boring.
They don’t even look bad
The "sport voice" was pretty funny
Well damn... that review was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. This one actually answered most of the questions other reviews didn't answer.
Why Honda... why won't you give us the 6M on the V6?
hey guys whats the difference between a honda civic and accord?
holyshit, best. damn. review. ever. I've got nothing more to say.
If I were to spend the money I would get the Accord sedan V6 loaded and or the Coupe with the manual V6.
Hitting the subscribe button in 3 2 1 ..
Sorry, but the Subaru Legacy also comes with manual speeds
my 06 v6 3.3l solara gets 22 mpg around town
About to buy one with 111k miles for $14k
