The "antiquated" knobs on the radio are a much welcome return. Thanks Honda for listening to the number one grip of Honda owners. The "swipe" buttons were a pain.
I just test drove a 2.0T this past week. I was very impressed across the board. Looks great and was verycomfortable. I'm a bigger guy and this car was a good fit.
Knobs are NOT antiquated, they're normal! No one wants or needs to put their index finger and slide it to raise or lower the volume, keeps your eyes off if the road doing so!
Holly crap, there is intelligent life left on this planet. Driving and cell phone use illegal, swiping your car's screen to find the climate controls, legal.
nauticalone Ed ...I'm sure he'll retire soon enough, it's been a good run but time to go and drive off into the sunset in a MW favorite from BMW or VW, that seems to be their favorites. Knobs are much safe and they are round and 360 degrees of turning is easy and can't be improved upon, get it MW.
I currently own a 2018 Accord 2.0 Sport and I love everything about it. It's quick, nimble and fun to drive. The 10 speed auto is very responsive and sport mode makes it even more so. I call it my little rocket on wheels.
I remember the first time I ever rode in a 2018 Accord. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. January 26, 2018 was a great day. June 26, 2020 3:08 am
I have driven nothing but V6 Hondas and Acuras since 2002. I swore that I would never get another 4 cylinder since I loved the dynamics and feel of the V6 models I owned. Came time to replace my '16 TLX V6 and decided to just check out the Accord 2.0T, after reading so many positive things about it and watching numerous videos hailing its greatness. I just purchased a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T about 3 weeks ago. I am so impressed! Honda has done a tremendous job! Not only did I go back to a Honda after driving 7 straight Acuras but went from a V6 to a turbo 4 cylinder. The car is superb and I do not miss the V6 at all. I believe the Accord is actually a bit quicker than my Acura. I will say that my Acura had a little bit less road noise but the Accord isn't unbearable by any stretch. Also, the sound system in my Acura is superior and that I do miss but the rest of the car is fantastic! I think it's great looking, economical, reliable, comfortable, feature laden and plenty quick.
I have a 2018 CR-V Touring with the 1.5T. The engine is loud. It growls. The CVT transmission in it takes a bit of getting used to but from what I know it is actually one of the better sorted CVT transmissions out there. These turbo Honda engines LOVE high octane gas. There is a noticeable difference in power and throttle response with 93 vs 87 octane.
To folks that type without thinking.... listen. John Davis has been reviewing cars for almost 40 years and still has the platform to do so. You can't get along for that long without knowing what you are talking about. If you don't like the review go watch Redline or something. This show is well respected around the world so pay homage to that fact alone
Passthedutch 9890 I agree with you. It's not a original design it's just copying what's in the market and just looks like over sized civic mixed with a cross tour.
senorgato70 BULLSHIT, UGLIEST FUCKING HONDA EVER! ALL SHIT TURBOS THAT WILL BREAK IN 7 TO 10 YEARS. I OWN 5 HONDAS FROM 1988 CRX'S TO 1999 CIVIC FERIO's, SO YOU BETTER COME AT ME WITH A DIFFERENT REBUTTAL!
The Accord has always been one of the several unveiling I always look forward too. Along with the Miata, mustang, wrangler F-150. I have driven a 1.5T Sport CVT. I was pleasantly surprised by the low end grunt of the tiny motor. I bet the 6 spd manual is fun. I think the Passat R-Line is just as good(have owned 2). I’m getting a new car in May/June and the Accord Sport, Civic Si, Passat R-Line are on the short list. I hope the Accord leases well.
I really do credit Honda and Toyota for bringing back the sedan game in 2018. Really forced other automakers to step there game up with the Sonora K5 Altima Jetta.
it's a nice looking interior but I'm perplexed with the "let's put a tablet in the middle of the dash" thing for the 8" touch screen. seems a bit angled back making it difficult to see when the sun is straight overhead?? OR I could be completely in left field on that one.
Love that John Davis is still doing MotorWeek. His voice takes me back. New Accord looks like an amazing car. No clue why anyone would buy a Camry over an Accord.
I'm not hyped on the rear tail lights or the front end, however if they decided to go nuts and make a Type R Accord for North America, i would probably rush up there to toss money down!
I really wish they would make an Accord Type R for the United States market. Low Volume and they would sell, I think they'd be surprised how many people would want it, and all they'd have to do is tune that new K20C1 2.0 Turbo up t around like 350-400hp Range if they want to keep costs low since they wouldn't have to develop a new engine. Then if that did well, the following Model Could have a Turbo V6 or even Turbo Inline 5 cyinder would be cool mainly because of the exotic sound they have and Honda isn't new to 5 Cylinder engines either they made the Acura Vigor Honda Vigor in some markets, with a 2.0 (G20A1) 5 cylinder making 160 hp and 137 Lb Ft of Torque or a 2.5 (G25A1) 5 cylinder making 187 Hp and 175 Lb Ft of Torque. Then there was also the US market TL from 1995-1998 that also had a 2.5 (G25A4) 5 cylinder slightly detuned to 176 Hp and 175 Lb Ft of Torque for whatever reason, most likely emissions. But how amazing would it be to have a Turbo 5 Cylinder Honda Accord Type R in the US market making near 400 hp, SH-AWD borrowed from Acura and renamed would go well with it too and make for a hell of a Car and wouldn't directly compete with it's own Civic since they would be for different markets and I think it would sell and be amazing as long as they didn't price it ridiculously.
I finally picked up my Accord Touring 2.0T last week! I couldn't be happier. The Car handles the road extremely well. Steering is fantastic, and the new 10 speed auto transmission is buttery smooth, coupled with a great paddle shifters. Lastly, the cockpit is loaded with tech. This car will put a smile on your face each time you are behind the wheel. This is coming from a guy who used to own a BMW 4 Series. My old Beemer was surely flashier & more powerful with twin turbo V6.....However, this beatiful sporty Accord will make you smile each time you drive it! Ohh, and it cost me a lot less than BMW! Thank you Honda for building a fantastic family sports car, loaded with safety features and top notch tech goodies, that other luxury manufacturers charge $1000's for. I'm a happy Honda customer!

Ily Sayarh Same here. My godfather, who was my former middle school vice-principal back in seventh grade for the '07-'08 school year just got a midnight blue 2018 Accord about two weeks ago! He told me that his '13 F-150 wasn't giving him good fuel mileage when he travels from Orangeburg, SC to West Columbia, SC to his principal job at a charter school. While asking my godfather about his Accord, he's doesn't know what trim level that he got. However, he told me his came with that Adidas-like cloth upholstery which gave me a hint! Even though he's 6'5" and a truck guy, I'm very happy for him!! ☺☺☺☺
An ex girlfriend of mine is an avid Accord fan and she had the last Touring V6 which was a great car to drive. I was skeptic when she bought this current model touring but after getting in and driving it, I was impressed. It's got more interior room and the same quickness as the V6 it replaced.
Nope. Lol..still don’t like the looks of these. The 2020* version was ok, though. If i had the money to currently stay within honda/acura ecosystem, i’d get the current type r in white or dark grey or the integera type s in black or dark grey.
Interesting acceleration times. The slow 0-60 is definitely due to the lack of traction so I wouldn't be consumed with that number too much; the 100 mph trap speed shows it is faster than the old V6 auto (the old manual V6 was a bit faster). The 2.0t with the manual is known to be slower due to lack of optimized gearing as well as turbo spool going offline in between shifts.
This new design is growing on me. Still don't really care for the back end & the new rims. The Sport rims look nice but the previous Accord Sport rims looked better... I do love how Honda put alot of new standard features in this car, making it look and feel like a luxury car
Why I'm buying one, Everyone is to concerned what people, homes, cars look like nowadays. What about reliability? Pumping regular gas? Every bit of technology that's out there, for a cheap lease rate?
If they can slim the A pillars, why cant they do the same with the B pillars. Every single sedan ive seen has these huge pillars which block visibility. I know they carry air bags, but they need to work on that
This new Accord 2.0 Turbo is a game changer. The only reason to buy a BMW over this is you want to pay more and get less for a badge and your happy with BMW's asinine engineering in a lack of a oil dip stick relying only on the computer to top off.
Can someone explain why the new accords interior lights come on at night, when the headlights are off? Very unsafe and most drivers of the accord front know they are driving without head or rear lamps on
Alot of people are, but if you have driven a new Accord 2.0T, you will be impressed. They are faster across the board than the V6. The only thing you would miss would be the V6 exhaust note. Outside of that, the 2.0T is a step forward.
Now hear this...turbo and 6 spd manual available, oh yeah, it's a Honda, what seems to be the problem here? Let's look at what we've got here from a perf standpoint, 14.8 @100 mph and a cold track, car was blowing the tires off from the git go, so what you really have here is a 14.4 family car that's fun to drive and looks great. That said, I would rework that grill a bit, the top portion. I'm sure Honda wouldn't do a Type R version of this but they could, it has the engine already...DO IT HONDA!
Motor Trend has the Malibu 2.0T handling, braking better than the Accord 2.0T 10-speed with a higher 1/4 mile trap speed. All for $10,000 less since 2016. Accord is just catching up.
Norm T ...with a face only a mother can love, NO MANUAL and nowhere near thes reliability rep the Accord has truly earned. The Malibu is down the list when looking at midsized cars, down there with the Altima but above it.
Klasse Act Since 2015 Accord repair record per 100 is growing to almost double according to Truedelta. The current Accord has gone down hill just like the CR-V leads the segment in repairs. Honda is charging top buck for their cars and cuv's but the customers are over paying. I won't even start on the V6 vibration and oil consumption or the ZF transmission follies. Honda customers shouldn't be beta testers for the company. Chevrolet is the most awarded car company over the last couple of years for a reason.
I really dislike this new trend of automakers using turbos on everything nowadays----when those turbos break or wear out (and they will), repairs will be costly. That might be an acceptable compromise in a sports car, but not in a family sedan.
Keep in mind the old J-series uses a timing belt , which in the Honda is hard to replace, with a $800 repair bill every 100k. That's a mandatory replacement too, not just "maybe" it will go out, it eventually will and break your engine down completely.
justsomeguytoyou ...the previous engine it replaced needed a timing belt service which also had people replacing their water pumps as well due to it being replaced. I heard it's a $1200 service...is that acceptable. Turbo tech has come a long way, older ones weren't better but having coolant running through it after shut off is key, the older turbos didn't have that and if you ran them hard and shut them off right away the bearing inside would go bad and then smoke, not the turbos fault but USER ERROR. Get with the times, there is a replacement for displacement and it's called T U R B O
To bad Honda dumbed downed the whole Accord model for 2023. Anyone with a 2.0T better hold on to it and take care of it. The future of the automotive industry is completely boring for us common people. Only the rich and powerful can have the cars that everyone used to be able to afford and enjoy.
Easily better looking than ANY other sedan in the segment. Like the rear of the Camry, Passat is ok (I drive an '08 3.6L 4Motion which I love)... everything else... Ehhhh... I may be a bit prejudiced on the Honda. I've owned 7 Accords (3 Civics). My mother has a Pilot. They are just great cars. If I should buy a new car in the next few years, it will be a red or white Accord Touring. BTW, I am foul with Ford over the discontinuation of most of it's cars. Not everyone wants an SUV or CUV, Ford!!!!!!!!!
I dislike this trend of using buttons or dials for shifting the transmission. It's not as intuitive to push or pull buttons when backing up, instead of using a console-based shifter. Also, where can you rest your hand when your elbow is lying on the console?! The new Accord is not selling well as a result of this, just like the 2018 GMC Terrain is not selling as well as it should. They both use buttons for transmission functions.
I don't really see the correlation. considering that the vast majority of accord buyers do not get the 2.0T, but the 1.5T instead. that has a transmission with a lever. as for "resting your hand" just put more of your arm on the armrest? I drive a manual so I don't have the option to rest my hand on the selector (I risk damaging the shift forks), and it has never bothered me.
The dashboard ,the twin real exhaust pipe, the taillights of Camry are better. The interior door panel , the wheel of Accord are better. Other things are equal. Both need to be improved the front. Both exterior shape are good. ฺBoth dashboard are good.
The ¼ mile times were almost 1 second too slow. The is probably due to one or more of the following: -- The car was left in its default driving mode (the mode when the car is started). You must press the "Sport" button, in order to have the transmission shift for best performance, as well as increasing the turbo boost. In the default driving mode, the car compromises some of the performance, in favor of better fuel economy (not what you want when conducting a "performance" test). -- The "Traction Control" was left in its default driving mode (the mode when the car is started). You must press the "Traction Control" button to turn it off, in order to get the best acceleration. -- The tires were cold. Was a burnout done, to help the car launch? -- The driver is not up to the task, or had a bad run. Does MotorWeek do multiple runs, to ensure they are getting the best that the car has to offer? By the way, the slalom test was probably also done in the default driving mode. In "Sport" mode, the suspension stiffens up and the car gets lowered a bit (I believe).
@erozpl01 People who care: -- The host of the video. He reviewed the car's performance. He did so, because he cares, and knows that his viewers care; not because he does not care. -- The car's engineers care. They did not add a turbo for nothing. They did not supply some cars with a 1.5 liter engine, and some cars with a 2.0 liter engine, because no one cares. -- People who have a family, and need the room of a full size sedan, and cannot afford a Ferrari on-the-side. So they compromise, and get a sedan that has a focus on performance. -- People who enjoy learning about all kinds of cars. -- People who take their Accords to the race track. -- People who reprogram their Accords to remove all manner of retardation, which results in nearly 100 additional horsepower. -- Any number of other people who have reasons that we do not know about. Are you thumbing your nose at performance related Accord topics because you are envious of those that have them? Or are you thumbing your nose at performance related Accord topics because you are a spoiled super-car owner?
@@Lucille69caddy "If a car can’t run adequately without all of those gadgets, then it’s a POS. Whatever happened to driver intervention?" How did you conclude that the Honda Accord can't run adequately without all of those gadgets?
@@NoEgg4u Must I explain? I guess so! Well, you seem to have a lot of excuses as to why this car is so “slow” (I think it’s quite adequate, actually). The power to weight ratio is right in line with the performance numbers. MW does achieve the slowest times out of the major car rags, however.
@@Lucille69caddy "Must I explain?" No. Must I explain that youtube comments are optional? "Well, you seem to have a lot of excuses as to why this car is so “slow”" I made no excuses. I provided facts, none of which stated or implied that the car was slow. You just made that up. In your first reply, you wrote: "If a car can’t run adequately without all of those gadgets, then it’s a POS. Whatever happened to driver intervention?" I replied and wrote: "How did you conclude that the Honda Accord can't run adequately without all of those gadgets?" Your next reply was a response. It was not an answer. 2nd request: How did you conclude that the Honda Accord can't run adequately without all of those gadgets?
That test track has seen so many generations of the Honda Accord.
and other cars
I'm amazed that MotorWeek is still making these reviews in the same structure that I remember as a kid lol. Still cool, and I'm still watching.
37 seasons and still going strong
I've been watching John Davis since I was 5. He is a great narrator for these road and comparison tests
I don't know what I'd do without it!
Same buddy. I was born in 85 and can remember John and his voice very well. This show still gives me a nice, nostalgic feeling.
Yung Padawan short and to the point I love them
The "antiquated" knobs on the radio are a much welcome return. Thanks Honda for listening to the number one grip of Honda owners. The "swipe" buttons were a pain.

Yeah, it's hard enough to watch / listen to this guy...and here he lost me at "antiquated knobs"!
nauticalone Ed ...I'm sure he'll retire soon enough, it's been a good run but time to go and drive off into the sunset in a MW favorite from BMW or VW, that seems to be their favorites.

This car looks much better in the real. It's very elegant and has a good aggressive stance at the same time.
senorgato70 I agree. I saw one today. Looks so much better in person. A less expensive, more reliable alternative to my favorite car, the Audi A7.
I disagree. It looks like a Hyundai Genesis mixed with a Mazda 6. It's not original looking, it looks like everything else.
senorgato70 I have seen it in real life. It does not look better it actually looks less attractive then the one it replaces.
Passthedutch 9890 I agree with you. It's not a original design it's just copying what's in the market and just looks like over sized civic mixed with a cross tour.
senorgato70 BULLSHIT, UGLIEST FUCKING HONDA EVER! ALL SHIT TURBOS THAT WILL BREAK IN 7 TO 10 YEARS. I OWN 5 HONDAS FROM 1988 CRX'S TO 1999 CIVIC FERIO's, SO YOU BETTER COME AT ME WITH A DIFFERENT REBUTTAL!
Amazing car with 2.0. Hella fun to drive too. Highly recommended

I really wish they would make an Accord Type R for the United States market. Low Volume and they would sell, I think they'd be surprised how many people would want it, and all they'd have to do is tune that new K20C1 2.0 Turbo up t around like 350-400hp Range if they want to keep costs low since they wouldn't have to develop a new engine.

around 45k?
Yung Padawan yea just to have it markup to 55k by the dealers and then honda will go "guess nobody wants it"
There is an OBD2 plugin overclocker from Hondata for $695 that boosts torque by 100 pounds.
Can you please do a head2head between 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 T
VS 2018 Mercedes Benz E 4 doors turbo?
The 2 litre turbo is a sleeper...retune it for 300+ hp😀
I have yet to find a way to do so, that does not void the manufacturer's warranty.
Rip v6
Coraga 1 ignorant piece of SHIT

J blocks were never great. Honda never progressed in the V6 design since the C blocks.

John sure loves his blue dress shirt
Love the 1.5T Sport model
What's up with those headlights? Jewel headlights? How many though. Looks like damn near 8 on each side!
Glad Honda finally got the clue that they need to work on exterior looks of their cars
You hit the mark this time Honda! This Accord is wonderful!!
honda> everyone. these accords are incredibly good..
What does “Mazda capable” mean?
Why are there absolutely no reviews of the ‘98-‘02 Accord online? It’s like it’s the forgotten generation
garren588 I know! I used to have one and it was my baby! I can’t find anything on that generation!
On regular??? Not Premium?
that intro...❤️
Honda make a wagon version please!!!!
with faux wood paneling
Ummmm, NO!
Acura TSX had a wagon version, nobody bought it :-(
i'll get this in about 4-5 years from now when it's refreshed and refined.. at moment i'm good with the last species of the accord coupe touring.
Did you end up getting it?
Nope. Lol..still don’t like the looks of these. The 2020* version was ok, though. If i had the money to currently stay within honda/acura ecosystem, i’d get the current type r in white or dark grey or the integera type s in black or dark grey.
Hmmm, the Accord 2.0T gets tested for 0-60 and 1/4 mile run. The Camry v6 no acceleration test very interesting Motorweek.
Antiquated knobs and buttons are what potential buyers would want these days. Sliding volume controls and tuning controls are not as responsive.
Why are buttons and knobs antiquated?

I see so many Hondas like this on the road. Mostly the civics
Beautiful, Love the center console too.
Why I'm buying one,
Everyone is to concerned what people, homes, cars look like nowadays. What about reliability? Pumping regular gas? Every bit of technology that's out there, for a cheap lease rate?
Nice closing😁
New daily driver someday ! My 04 Accord still got plenty of life though
Rookie To Pro : My 04 V6 is going strong at 225k
DOPE ! I think you beat me by like 5k , but I'll catch up ! Haha
Australia needs this car. Perfect replacement for Honda Accord Euro.
I still have my 2018 Accord ❤🇭🇹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 3.5 was over 270hp. He said the 2.0 turbo made more up. It's 252?
Torque wise he means.
If they can slim the A pillars, why cant they do the same with the B pillars. Every single sedan ive seen has these huge pillars which block visibility. I know they carry air bags, but they need to work on that
This new Accord 2.0 Turbo is a game changer. The only reason to buy a BMW over this is you want to pay more and get less for a badge and your happy with BMW's asinine engineering in a lack of a oil dip stick relying only on the computer to top off.
Looks like a chevy Impala !!!
Impala looks like A7 looks like DeLorean looks like....
My sony TV looks like a Toshiba TV, how dare they make them look alike
Coraga 1, or what bitch?
You look like a Chevy impala
wantapgt I'm not liberal u idiot
Can someone explain why the new accords interior lights come on at night, when the headlights are off? Very unsafe and most drivers of the accord front know they are driving without head or rear lamps on
I am disappointed that Honda dropped their wonderful V-6 engine in the Accord.
Alot of people are, but if you have driven a new Accord 2.0T, you will be impressed. They are faster across the board than the V6. The only thing you would miss would be the V6 exhaust note. Outside of that, the 2.0T is a step forward.
Now hear this...turbo and 6 spd manual available, oh yeah, it's a Honda, what seems to be the problem here?
Let's look at what we've got here from a perf standpoint, 14.8 @100 mph and a cold track, car was blowing the tires off from the git go, so what you really have here is a 14.4 family car that's fun to drive and looks great. That said, I would rework that grill a bit, the top portion.
I'm sure Honda wouldn't do a Type R version of this but they could, it has the engine already...DO IT HONDA!
Malibu 2.0T has been doing that since 2016 for $10,000 less.
Norm T ...Malibu has been doing what?
Motor Trend has the Malibu 2.0T handling, braking better than the Accord 2.0T 10-speed with a higher 1/4 mile trap speed. All for $10,000 less since 2016. Accord is just catching up.
Norm T ...with a face only a mother can love, NO MANUAL and nowhere near thes reliability rep the Accord has truly earned. The Malibu is down the list when looking at midsized cars, down there with the Altima but above it.
Klasse Act Since 2015 Accord repair record per 100 is growing to almost double according to Truedelta. The current Accord has gone down hill just like the CR-V leads the segment in repairs. Honda is charging top buck for their cars and cuv's but the customers are over paying. I won't even start on the V6 vibration and oil consumption or the ZF transmission follies. Honda customers shouldn't be beta testers for the company.
Chevrolet is the most awarded car company over the last couple of years for a reason.
Wish they made with sportback.
Why would they make the 2 liter less HP? Blows my mind...
Remember when the accord was a midsize car this thing is big
I love the design , I knew when they redesigned the hot Civic the design language was gonna be on the new Accord! I want one!!!
Perfect car for a teen starting to drive
Might be too expensive for a teen, maybe if you say 5 years from now
Thank you Honda for having manual transmission options
I really dislike this new trend of automakers using turbos on everything nowadays----when those turbos break or wear out (and they will), repairs will be costly. That might be an acceptable compromise in a sports car, but not in a family sedan.
Coraga 1 well considering how capitalism is now trending as well, I don’t give these turbos lasting any longer than 5 years. Older turbos were solid.
Coraga 1 go fuck yourself bitch
I have a 12 year old car with a turbo that works exactly as new. Probably will run perfectly until the car is parted out.
Keep in mind the old J-series uses a timing belt , which in the Honda is hard to replace, with a $800 repair bill every 100k. That's a mandatory replacement too, not just "maybe" it will go out, it eventually will and break your engine down completely.
justsomeguytoyou ...the previous engine it replaced needed a timing belt service which also had people replacing their water pumps as well due to it being replaced. I heard it's a $1200 service...is that acceptable. Turbo tech has come a long way, older ones weren't better but having coolant running through it after shut off is key, the older turbos didn't have that and if you ran them hard and shut them off right away the bearing inside would go bad and then smoke, not the turbos fault but USER ERROR.
Get with the times, there is a replacement for displacement and it's called T U R B O
The spunky performance add in this generation made all the difference !! And the gorgeous interior
What is Acura doing!!!! Their tlx too slow
Faster than a BMW 530i m sport in a drag race
Accord has more hp and less weight. Nothing special about it being faster. It should be faster
To bad Honda dumbed downed the whole Accord model for 2023. Anyone with a 2.0T better hold on to it and take care of it. The future of the automotive industry is completely boring for us common people. Only the rich and powerful can have the cars that everyone used to be able to afford and enjoy.
No braking test? This not like you guys.
It looks like every other car on the road. What is all of the hype about?
Easily better looking than ANY other sedan in the segment. Like the rear of the Camry, Passat is ok (I drive an '08 3.6L 4Motion which I love)... everything else... Ehhhh... I may be a bit prejudiced on the Honda. I've owned 7 Accords (3 Civics). My mother has a Pilot. They are just great cars. If I should buy a new car in the next few years, it will be a red or white Accord Touring. BTW, I am foul with Ford over the discontinuation of most of it's cars. Not everyone wants an SUV or CUV, Ford!!!!!!!!!
Great job, Honda! This one's got it all, reliability, low cost, looks, performance, and fuel efficiency.
this aint no accord, the front still feel like it, but the tail is a mix up of bunch of sht.
we need a 4 wheel dr. and rear wheel...
I cant believe its the same guy as back in the day. He's dont almost all generations of the Accord.
No V 6 ?
Antiquated knobs and buttons rule!!!!
I dislike this trend of using buttons or dials for shifting the transmission. It's not as intuitive to push or pull buttons when backing up, instead of using a console-based shifter. Also, where can you rest your hand when your elbow is lying on the console?! The new Accord is not selling well as a result of this, just like the 2018 GMC Terrain is not selling as well as it should. They both use buttons for transmission functions.
I don't really see the correlation. considering that the vast majority of accord buyers do not get the 2.0T, but the 1.5T instead. that has a transmission with a lever.
as for "resting your hand" just put more of your arm on the armrest? I drive a manual so I don't have the option to rest my hand on the selector (I risk damaging the shift forks), and it has never bothered me.
Awesome car
Damn girl, my car has a back seat too!
Best looking Accord Honda's ever made, I think. Without the badges, I would've guessed it was a new Acura.
The dashboard ,the twin real exhaust pipe, the taillights of Camry are better.
The interior door panel , the wheel of Accord are better.
Other things are equal.
Both need to be improved the front.
Both exterior shape are good.
ฺBoth dashboard are good.
All three videos have the cars of now but the setting of the 90s and the people of the 50s
grill is like a utility vehicle
The ¼ mile times were almost 1 second too slow.
The is probably due to one or more of the following:
-- The car was left in its default driving mode (the mode when the car is started). You must press the "Sport" button, in order to have the transmission shift for best performance, as well as increasing the turbo boost. In the default driving mode, the car compromises some of the performance, in favor of better fuel economy (not what you want when conducting a "performance" test).
-- The "Traction Control" was left in its default driving mode (the mode when the car is started). You must press the "Traction Control" button to turn it off, in order to get the best acceleration.
-- The tires were cold. Was a burnout done, to help the car launch?
-- The driver is not up to the task, or had a bad run. Does MotorWeek do multiple runs, to ensure they are getting the best that the car has to offer?
By the way, the slalom test was probably also done in the default driving mode. In "Sport" mode, the suspension stiffens up and the car gets lowered a bit (I believe).
@erozpl01 People who care:
-- The host of the video. He reviewed the car's performance. He did so, because he cares, and knows that his viewers care; not because he does not care.
-- The car's engineers care. They did not add a turbo for nothing. They did not supply some cars with a 1.5 liter engine, and some cars with a 2.0 liter engine, because no one cares.
-- People who have a family, and need the room of a full size sedan, and cannot afford a Ferrari on-the-side. So they compromise, and get a sedan that has a focus on performance.
-- People who enjoy learning about all kinds of cars.
-- People who take their Accords to the race track.
-- People who reprogram their Accords to remove all manner of retardation, which results in nearly 100 additional horsepower.
-- Any number of other people who have reasons that we do not know about.
Are you thumbing your nose at performance related Accord topics because you are envious of those that have them? Or are you thumbing your nose at performance related Accord topics because you are a spoiled super-car owner?
If a car can’t run adequately without all of those gadgets, then it’s a POS. Whatever happened to driver intervention?
@@Lucille69caddy "If a car can’t run adequately without all of those gadgets, then it’s a POS. Whatever happened to driver intervention?"
How did you conclude that the Honda Accord can't run adequately without all of those gadgets?
@@NoEgg4u Must I explain? I guess so!
Well, you seem to have a lot of excuses as to why this car is so “slow” (I think it’s quite adequate, actually). The power to weight ratio is right in line with the performance numbers. MW does achieve the slowest times out of the major car rags, however.
@@Lucille69caddy "Must I explain?"
No.
Must I explain that youtube comments are optional?
"Well, you seem to have a lot of excuses as to why this car is so “slow”"
I made no excuses. I provided facts, none of which stated or implied that the car was slow. You just made that up.

I accord to this accord
Offer AWD and the 6-speed, I might concider going into debt to buy one.
sure you don't also want 800hp and 70mpg?
VW is able to do it with the alltrac. Its completely possible. But are you willing to pay $40,000 for a honda?
LRulesTheWorld the type t is already around that price why not call it type r accord with the AWD
That would be the 2017 Regal 2.0T with Twin Clutch AWD for $10,000 less than this Accord 2.0T.
2017 model looks better, but I guess we will grow on the new looks. Lacking the performance of a Mazda 6!!
I won't be surprise if the Honda Pilot & Odyssey is downsized to 2.0t four too in the near future
They need to fix that damn grill
When can we have real wheels and tires back ! Are your roads all smooth and flat ? Not around my entire state !
The accord cross tour civic .
