The CVT transmission in this car was one of the reasons why I went with the previous gen Accord. I dont mind modern CVT's that fake shift but ones that just rev up like in this 2016 Accord, I just really don't like. Apart from price another reason I didnt go with this generation of Accord was for the oil consumption issue. Apparently, Honda did the Hyundai thing and made the K24 a GDI engine which leads to oil burning. My 2012 Accord has the 5 speed auto and the legendary K24 motor before GDI. Great car. Has never let me down.
I have the 2014 EX sedan 2.4. It was my first car and it’s a great car all around. Yeah you’re gonna want the v6 when it comes to more spirited driving, however, as a comfortable daily driver for a 19 year old it’s perfect. CVT isn’t the best but it’s certainly one of the better CVTs in the market. It has a good power band and enough torque to punch the gas here and there while taking some tight turns. I get upwards of 35 mpg on the highway and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better first car for its price.
Also , the newest gen ILX has the K24 motor with a DCT. It’s essentially what everyone wanted this car to be. Both cars are phenomenal pieces of machinery though.
I owned a 2017 Accord sport and loved it unfortunately i totaled it. I test drove the new hybrid Accord sport and ended up buying it but still think about downgrading to get another on of 2017 sport. It was just perfect. Smh Newer isnt always better.
@@DMCarReviews Thanks! Ive been looking but they are hard to find in the DMV area. When you do find them they never last more than a couple weeks at the dealer.
@@Nalyddj I owned this exact car and a 2014 v6 coupe. The v6 makes the driving experience sooo much better and the non CVT plus it still got over 25mpg
12:53 the hiccup you are referring to is most likely the cvt adjusting it’s ratios and belt to get you going. They just take a little bit of time to do that, that’s all. It’s kind of the same with my 2018 1.5t sport, it’s a little slow at first but then the torque comes into play.
@@michaelbanko9965 like something along the line of a dirty MAP especially in the case of your 2018 Accord(my 2017 CRV had power lag, not the turbo kick in lag), or in this case some relay that's having difficulty making connection. I own this gen from new in both 2.4L and 2.0L(NA engine R20), and later years since I had them, in both I experienced lag(from stop or any rpm) and power degrade. When both new, they absolutely would just go as you put down the pedal. Im still testing, but the culprit very likely lies in the ignition circuit, the ignition coil relay connector. Dont look at the CVT, cuz Honda's CVT does not lag.
Yeah my 2018 1.5t is not the fastest when you first tap the gas, but like 1-2 seconds later it starts to pick up pretty well. You don’t need to get the revs up that much, you just have to be a little patient.
Interesting when I drive my 2018 accord 1.5t cvt just normally, the revs usually go up to about 2,000 rpm and simulates 2 gear changes and then goes back up to 2,000 and then it holds it there. It depends on how much gas you initially give it though, cause if you give more, it’ll go up to about 3,500 and then I let off a bit as mentioned earlier in the video and I don’t like the sound it makes when it does that.
Another great review in my very own backyard... I must agree. I find this generation a bit quicker off the line compared to the 1.5T engine in the more recent Accord's. The next time you are at Fitzgerald Hyundai of Gaithersburg. Ask to test drive a 2015 Genesis 5.0... It would be interesting to hear your feedback and comparison from the 2015 to the recent review you did on the 2018 G80 5.0... If you choose to do so, you would be essentially reviewing my old car. It's stock # H08359C.
@@DMCarReviews I get that slight delay when hitting the gas. I did some research and found out this only happens if you have a tear in your Intake which is pretty common for accords.
@@DMCarReviewshey man I know you like the Accord 2.4 more than the 2015 Altima you said you had in highschool but I guarantee you a 2016 Altima SR will dust that accord at racetrack!!!
Daamn bro..easy on the buttons..like i tell my wife even tho its her Accord ..lol😅 how many miles? Her engine engine dont sound that good..does it have an exgaust? I guess we never stepped on it often lol
Forgot one trim level which is the sport “special edition” trim and that’s the one I have. Have a 2017 Accord Sport SE in the Basque Red Pearl II color with all leather for the interior and front heated seats
@@DMCarReviewsof course anytime. I wish for the touring in this generation they offered both the 4 and 6 cyl engines because Toyota does that with their high trim Camrys. If that was the case I would opt for the 4 cyl. I personally would have gotten the V6 but I heard that their transmission are notorious for going out prematurely. Also did not want to deal with the timing belt change every 100k
My grandma has a 2015 CR-V. I didn't think I would like driving it because I had previously driven a Civic and it was really underpowered. CR-V barely revs up to 2K to get going and driving in the city you wouldn't even know the engine is running.
why??? I recently got a 2013 accord sport. but i wanna save up a little bit more money so i can sell that one and then buy a 2016-2017 but idk if i should get the sport or ex-l v6
thinking about getting this vehicle for my first car, thank you for this great review
Thank you for watching!

sameee

Bro, the 8th Gen k24 also burns oil and it didn't have GDI.
Oil consumption on the 8th gen Accord is far worse than the newer K24w engines. Oil consumption and GDI are completely unrelated.
If the problem is the CVT transmission you should get the V6, the v6 doesn’t has a CVT transmission but should better say that you can’t afford it
the cvt is what makes this car incredibly fun to drive.
That's the best real world demo I've ever seen. You hammered tet thing lol...
Ahah thanks!
We have a 2013 EX-L with the CVT with 403k miles! Had since new, has been a great car
That is incredible!
My 16 in a manual is such a fun car to drive
Nice!

Gave this video a thumbs up and i appreciate your test drive videos. You do a good job.
Thank you for watching!
I recommend this video to anyone who wants the sport

Спасибо большое! Рад что понравилось

i used to have a 2016 crv with this engine, floored it once and almost got deaf lol that engine is LOUD
Lol!!!
Junk
My grandma has a 2015 and I was surprised at how loud it was 😂😂😂
Nice drive, love the 9th Gen and can't wait for the V6 😁

@@zkmoonea so are you saying there is probably something wrong with it or it’s normal
Would love to see you try out the V6 accord of this generation to see your thoughts! They are almost few to no POV’s on them on here :/
I'd love to film one too! I'll have to find one.
Adorable honda accord specially v6 engine❤❤
when using the sport mode your supposed to use the shifts pads to get the speed your looking for 👌🏽
In a CVT, the paddle shifters make it slower than just using auto.
I swear Hondas have a throttle lag, every Honda accord I’ve been in is like that, it rolls and then it kicks in gear.
Honda's relay connections are terrible.

Could be the throttle sensors in the pedal or intake issue
@@alejandrosotelo5176 could be the throttle position sensor, but normally Honda parts are good but Honda relay or connections are terrible.
Could you do a 10th gen accord 2.0t and also 1.5t
Yes!
The EX-L and touring trunks have the ability to be opened from the back by a button.
Very nice!
When switching to sport you have to use the paddles
Not really
to get ur 0-60 faster u should try lauching the car instead of rleasing the brake then pressing the gas
This car had issues
no dont do that with a cvt you will ruin the belt on the trans, it causes heat scoring on the belt.
lol! i just noticed this is in gaiterburg right?
Yes
Hows the 2016 Honda Accord Touring?
Check out my video! I have a Touring V6 test drive on my channel from a few weeks ago.
Can you do the 2024 Honda Passport and Pilot? Thanks
Yes!
@@DMCarReviews thanks, love Honda, strongly considering the ‘24 Passport EXL for my next car. 3.5 vtec is a great engine

get the one with apple carplay

dirty MAP sensor or connection problem with the ignition coil relay/fuel pump relay.
Could be!
No auto review is complete without lifting the hood and discussing the engine
Can you do the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6?
Sure! Good idea.
Sounds like the transmission is low on cvt fluid. Had a homie of mine had this happen to him
Could be!
Yuck that CVT drone. Overall good car though. And nice review
Thank you for watching!
Do the 22 accord exl next
I'll look for one
