Here in Canada basic Accord non hybrid is $40000 & Sonata with SO MUCH More equipment including Leather ,Panorama Roof ,Ventilated seats & AWD is $36000 & lots more I haven't mentioned. For a low mileage driver like me the Sonata wins hands down especially with 5 Vs 3 Year warranty. I haven't even mentioned the styling but that Accord doesn't even appeal to me & I'm 77 : ) ! I've had my Genesis 3.8 Sedan for 6 years & it's the best car I've ever owned but it was $50000 in 2016 & a new 2.5 is $70000 now so I'm seriously considering the AWD Sonata for 1/2 that price.
I've owned the original Genesis 3.8 sedan for 15 years now, and still going strong. I would still love to drive a new midlevel 4-cylinder Genesis G80. That said a Sonata Hybrid would be a better fit for my budget and driving. I would pick most Hyundai-Kia offerings without hesitation (except for the garbage 2011-2019 Sonatas assembled in Alabama). I also like Honda a lot too - I used to own a 2002 Accord as well - but after Honda discontinued the manual option on all Accords, I lost my appetite.
I was going for the Sonata Hybrid but I hear they blow engines, got the accord, very happy even though I think the Sonata is nice interior, just don't trust the engines
maybe 10 years ago (and you usually got a lifetime warranty on the new engine they put in) - reliability is rated higher than Honda right now - still nothing wrong with the Accord if that is a preference. @@LarryLarryize-wu4ru
I had the same car it was amazing. I have that car to my dad and he gave his 2015 sonata to my younger sister. I just purchased my 2024. Head turner everywhere u go. U won’t regret buying it.
Personally the Sonata Hybid for me is the better deal. That sweet sweet warranty and quiter interior along with more creature comfort and tech at a better price. Also when comparing powertrain the Accord being a hybrid should be compared to a hybrid!
I already got the beautiful 2024 Sonata. It's awesome! Hyundai did it's best so far. Smooth riding, a lot of standard features, beautiful internal and external refresh. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I recently purchased a 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-Line and I have to say, for the price, it's absolutely amazing. Has great power, gas efficiency, comfortability, and the technology is beyond what I expected. Hyundai has really stepped up this year on the Sonata and I highly recommend this car!
@@m_ramiz Lol its 2024 dude everything has changed, come to the reality. I am using 2019 Hyundai Sonata and i have done 90k miles on it and my engine is working great with no issues at all.
I hope it doesn’t get killed off. I think there might be a next gen, but maybe not in America. I would hate it to see the Sonata killed off as it helps make the segment a bit more alive, compelling and competitive.
Just ordered a 2024 Sonata. In canada we only have 2 trim levels this year. Preferred and N-Line. Preferred has now everything... Heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, leather* interior, etc. Option of the AWD on the preferred. Ordered a preferred with AWD. After comparing with Camry and Accord, Sonata was the most equiped. And 6k cheaper at 37k vs 43k. Only aspect is reliability, but even Toyota and Honda has had problems recently. With the warranty of Hyundai and honestly the good customer service I have had for past Hyundai vehicles, I am confident. Pretty happy with the purchase.

As a current Honda Civic owner and former Honda Accord owner. I’m looking to purchase a 2024 Sonata hybrid Limited as it has more features than the Honda Accord Touring and cheaper price.
They always did, you just never gave them a credit. Huyndai/kia always offered best value for money more features and tech and power at a cheaper price including insane 10 year or 100K warranty
It's a very handsome car. I'm sure you will enjoy it, and the spaciousness it gives. I've been buying Hyundai and kia products since 2005. Brand new, all were excellent, no serious or expensive repairs, all have gone over 100.000 miles. 😊
One thing that i have not heard from any reviewers is the uncomfortable front seats in the Honda/Acura vehicles. We own a ‘23 Integra and the front seats have seat bottoms that are hard as rock! Went to check out the Accord to possibly trade for better comfort but found them to be the same way! I would not consider the Accord for that reason alone. Looking at the Sonata now for possible trade and the seats at 100% better.
I test drove a new Honda Accord last May. The hard front seat was the first thing I noticed😮 I agree with you Kia and Hyundai make more comfortable seats.
The Sonata seats are super comfy. I almost got one but got a 2024 Elantra N-line instead, which also has really comfy seats. The exterior and interior are way better than the new Civic and Accords. Honda really dropped the ball. My 2017 Civic coupe was one of my top 2 favorite cars I've owned, then they messed up the design for gen 11
I have a 2023 Sonata Limited and really like it. The 360 camera and the blind spot cameras are the best I have seen on any car. I understand that the 2024 Sonata Limited only comes with a hybrid and a 6 speed transmission giving it the same mileage as the Accord. With the 1.6L Turbo, I am getting about 30 MPG around town and 40 MPG on the Highway. One of the roads I often take is very curvey and is fun to drive in my Sonata. Also, the dealer experience has been good. I took it to the dealer for annual maintenance that was free and they even washed the car before returning it to me. I have driven Lexus ES350 and Acura TL for many years but feel more comfortable in my Sonata,
The big no-no of the Sonata is having a DCT. Their lifetime expectancy is around 80K to 100K miles. As hated as they are, CVTs (eCVT in the case of the Accord) excluding those old Jatco ones Nissan used to put in their cars, have proven to be very reliable and durable. Having said that, the Sonata does have more features for the price, but if you want to keep a car for a long time, Toyota/Honda is the way to go. Hyundai and Kia are good too if you choose a CVT or traditional automatic.
There’s one very important thing you didn’t mention on the Sonata that makes me pick it over the Accord. The trunk hinges are covered and it has an auto trunk closer. You typically have to step up to higher end brands to get those features. It could be the covered hinges that reduce trunk capacity but you’ll know the trunk will close. With the regular intrusive hinges you’re more likely to pack the trunk than not be able to close the trunk. Just a little minor convenience that goes a long way!
Let me point out a few things for you guys. In this segment of vehicles, not counting the luxury brands or super expensive sports vehicles. It was Hyundai that first offered a customizable digital gauge cluster, it was Hyundai who started those seamless air vents that go across the dash, it was Hyundai who started putting safety features across all trims, it was Hyundai who started implementing big screens. It was Hyundai who started offering a more luxurious cabin at these price points. It was the Kia Optima that Honda copied the fastback design with the Accord....which happens to be a Hyundai product. Anyways go ahead and finish your comparison
@@jcwatts5000 it's a fact, don't respond to something you know nothing about. Oh and I forgot to add panoramic roof!!!!!! They started that way back in 2012, does the Accord or Camry even offer that yet?
@@user-zc1dx5dv5u and you say that for which reasons? I can name a bunch of things that make the Hyundai Sonata better overall. I can only think of one thing, possibly 2 depending on trim that is better with the Accord. The only thing I can think for the Accord is resale value. I guess the sport version handles better than the Sonata SEL, but for just about the same price you can get a Sonata N-Line, which solves that problem. Don't get me wrong, Honda changed the game many, many years ago pushing manufacturers to step up reliability......but it's Hyundai who has just completely changed the game everywhere else for the last 8 years. I'm not trying to convince you to switch, 3 years ago I was laughing at Honda, Toyota and the rest owners. While we were driving around with all these advanced features , you guys weren't, and you all probably paid more. Only thing I try pointing out to other manufacturer fanboys, is that Hyundai been had those features you guys get excited about, it was Hyundai who forced who's brand you guys like in to stepping up to catch up. And the fact you all should be thanking Hyundai for pushing your brand to offer those far better amenities for the over price you all pay. Does the Accord even offer a panoramic roof yet? The Sonata had that back in 2012
@@user-zc1dx5dv5u you can say which specific parts are better and safer but you can't say which car is better since both brands benefit from certain and different things. Not everything is better because it's a Honda. Not everything is shitty because it's a Hyundai. Also, a lot of the fires were caused by the techs not doing their jobs properly. Every cars have their own recalls. Don't be a prejudice. They're both nice cars.
I cannot believe that a $33k accord doesn’t have heated seats! Also don’t forget the accord STILL doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel, even on the Touring model.
What’s crazy is that this IS the Accord facelift😭 it got an all new design for 2023. Definitely the worst accord design ever, although I’m not a fan of this sonata design either, I thought the previous gen looked better too
Their trying to design their cars with a more older but modern look. Theres a car they don't sell in the US I would instantly buy if it came to the US. It looks like it belongs in the 80s but with a modern interior.
I got the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-Line and I'm loving it like a fat kid love mdee's! Could have gone with the 2024 Accord but with the new redesign of the Sonata, panoramic sunroof, premium features, wireless phone charging, the Sonata was more appealing and more bang for your buck.
Yeah, you don't feel like your car is being pushed to the side when there is heavy wind. Driven pickup trucks and it feels like that everytime, my sedan doesn't have that feeling
My mom went to test drive the Accord last week. Then went to test drive the Sonata. Walked out with the Sonata in the same color as in the video. She liked how the Sonata felt behind the wheels, plus all those features and the sleek design of the car. Looks even better in person.
Now that the new refresh Sonata offers AWD and styling looks like a 2024 car, rather than the Accord inspired long and boaty 2009 Ford Taurus styling, the Sonata is the one to buy, imo. It’s 2024 and Honda still can’t put a panoramic roof in the Accord? The new Sonata checks all the boxes for me. I will be satisfied getting this SEL trim. It has better value in features than the Accord Sport trim and costs less! The new Accord is officially for over the hill Gen X-ers and Baby Boomers buyers. I saw a senior citizen stepping out one the other day, and I just can’t unsee the whole AARP vibe the car gives! 😂🤣😂
I own a Hyundai and a Honda (SUVs). Im in the market for a sedan and are looking at both. One HUGE difference is that Honda Dealers have NO inventory and when they do they have huge dealer mark ups. I believe Hyundai is a much better value.
@HOTPLATEGAMING Not anymore, that's in the past. Do some research on used Hyundai and kia vehicles, in general, they are about 1200 to 1500 dollars less than comparable vehicles. And you pay much less than those numbers when you buy them versus Toyota, Honda Mazda.....
@@HOTPLATEGAMING Well you don’t buy a vehicle based on getting rid of a vehicle. None of these are investments. And paying more up front puts you at a loss from the start.
In terms of design, Sonata is one of the coolest looking sedan in the market. But, Accord has been recognized for its durability and reliability for decades.
I have a 2021 kia K5 GT LINE with premium package I bought new 3 years ago this month. It been flawless, enjoy it every day, very glad I bought it. And it just turned 40.000 miles! Lol.
This accord was such a letdown, was hoping for way more of a sporty feel. I really love the look of the Sonata and the fact that you can still get a fast sporty sedan without having to go up to the 40+ thousand dollar range. That being said the new Camry, I think looks awesome as well and the xse model has all the bells and whistles. I want heated steering wheel, panoramic, sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, all-wheel-drive, and it’s 30 hp faster than the accord etc. But I may need to take a look at this sonata And test drive it since they’re out at dealerships now. I feel as though I’m gonna be let down because interest rates are still high and they’ll probably want luxury car payments for a sub $40,000 car. I have a 2020 sport accord 2 L turbo so I don’t need a car it’s more of a want lol.
As a Honda accord and hyundai sonata owner for years both cars are very reliable no problem in the end the sonata is the better buy . Because of the 10 year 100,000 mile motor/trans and 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty ..overall Piece of mine..and better pricing on the sonata i always get better pricing on the sonata.
TBH, I purchased a New 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid FWD Blue edition, Last year. I'm Averaging 45 mpg, 13.1 Fuel Tank size. (Snow Tires) Boston MA ❤️ Love Your Videos 😎🎉
I think Honda's position was to simplify the design across this lineup because it's going in a completely different direction for design. I think in the coming years I think we'll see. This design begin to take more shape. I don't think it looks like a Camry at all, but I do think it looks like a two generations old Chevy Impala, but they improved upon that Chevy Impala design. It's cleaner and it looks better in my opinion
Great review! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Nice showing the side by side. Thank you. 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I will go for the Sonata as well, however here in the US we only have the N-Line and the Hybrid Limited. I’m driving my 5th Sonata Limited now. Saw my first one (2010-2011) on the Super Bowl commercial and that was after I had just gotten a new 2009 Accord EXL - my 5th also. When I saw the Sonata on the commercial I knew I had to have it so sold my brand new Accord to my sister and it’s been every Sonata Limiteds since then. I haven’t had any issues with my Limiteds except the 2013 which had an issue with the gas mileage not getting even close to what it should. Brought it in several times and was told the diagnostics were reading correctly so told them I wanted out. They sold me a 2013 Sonata Hybrid for a tiny, tiny amount more. It worked like a charm. However, (I know, foolish), I missed the panoramic sunroof so turned the Hybrid in for the Limited with panoramic sunroof. So now here I am with my fifth one. Sonata offers much more than the Accord for a lot less $$$. So desperately waiting for this 2024. There are a few things I don’t like about it though - one, if you live in NE or a cold state the gloves have to come off to use the heat and fan as it is all touch control except the temperature and the fingerprints will drive me crazy. Will keep microfiber cloths in the car as I now keep a duster in my car always. Also don’t like the Hybrid only comes in 17 inch wheels - I prefer the 18 inch I have now. I will have to see if they can switch to the 18 inch. So if this all sounds negative, it really is not. I went from being a die hard Honda owner to a die hard Hyundai owner and won’t be turning back. Hoping to get the 2024 in the next couple of weeks. I’m thinking they may introduce the 2024 during this upcoming Super Bowl. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Between me, my mom, my son and my Aunt, we’ve gotten 13 Hyundais from the same dealer. Sorry so long…🥺
Honda Pilot owner . Dealer Service took me home & picked me up in an Accord . I thought the tire noise was " louder " than it should've been . Sonata for the win .
The older accord looked better, redesign doesn't look that good. Sonata has a lot going but looks better and offers Nline with more power which is nice
Honda has GOT to get with the times!!! They’re charging more money for less features?!?! The Hyundai gives you: -Panoramic Sun Roof -Heated Front Seats -Larger Digital Speedometer -Wireless Charging -Wireless CarPlay/AA -USB Ports in the Rear -Clearer Backup Camera -Auto Dimming Mirror -Head Side Mirrors -Better Warranty ALL FOR LESS MONEY!!! Unless the Hyundais design is the only reason stopping you from buying this over the Accord, it’s obviously the clear winner.
@@kinanali4496And when they do , and they won't, Camry looses. Ive had Hyundai vehicles with tons of TECH, and after 7 years and over 100.000 miles, there was never issues with the tech.
My boyfriend is a Hyundai service manager. He always says…if you’re planning on keeping the car past 100K miles, get a Honda. If you’re getting rid of it before 100K get a Hyundai. Point being, the long term reliability and resell value of Honda’s far surpasses Hyundai’s regardless of how well you maintain a Hyundai 🤷🏻♀️
Both cars are nice, but I’d pick the Sonata. Just as a reminder, the Hyundai Sonata is only on a facelift cycle. Can’t wait to see what the next generation will look like in about 2-4 years.
I still have a Acura 2016 TLX V6. Modded with Taekedo intake and straight piped. Got a cheap heads up display that works pretty good, ceramic coated it put, LED lights in it, also app and a bass in it. A few other little small mods. Point being I love it. You can find one of my cars for a steal. I got pops and gurgles from the exhaust and when v-tech kicks in with a short ram intake, it sounds like a race car. It’s not the best car factory, but man does it come alive with some work.
Consider adding the warranty and maintenance to the comparison. Its the Sonata for me, Hybrid version - quiet, superior fuel economy, traditional transmission and longer warranty!
@@oldmanmike4995 I have only driven the current generation Sonata. The programming sucks. But for highway performance and efficiency it outshines the CVTs.
The Sonata looks much more edgier / flashier. The 2024 accord is square , plain ( no chrome) . I think the exterior of the prior generation was nicer ,rounder with a bit of chrome.
HONDA HEADACHES: 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ Brake and Rearview Camera Defects Honda recently issued recalls for various models due to brake and rearview camera defects. These recalls address potential safety hazards that can result in accidents and injuries. Unexpected Loss of Brake Function: Honda recalled over 124,000 Civic, Passport, and Pilot vehicles, including certain model year 2020-2021 Civic, 2020-2023 Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Passport, 2021-2022 Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall was prompted by concerns that the vehicles could experience an unexpected loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. Defective Brake Holds: Another recall impacted nearly 400 model year 2023 Civic, Accord, Acura RDX, and Acura Integra vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with defective brake holds, leading to potential movement while the brake hold is activated. Honda plans to notify impacted vehicle owners by mail, starting from July 24. Rearview Camera Concerns: Honda recalled over 1.1 million Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport vehicles due to defective rearview cameras that may not display properly. This recall applies to model year 2018-2023 Honda Odyssey, 2019-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2019-2023 Honda Passport vehicles. A non-functional rearview camera can compromise the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Class Action Lawsuits against Honda In addition to the recalls, Honda is facing class action lawsuits that allege serious defects in its vehicles' components. Variable Timing Control Actuator Defect: A class action lawsuit filed against Honda claims that the automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective variable timing control actuators. The alleged defect, affecting model year 2012-2014 CR-Vs, 2012 Accords, and 2012-2015 Crosstours, can lead to catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety hazard. Defective Electric Power Steering Systems: Two separate class action lawsuits were filed against Honda, asserting that model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles were manufactured with defective electric power steering systems. These systems may "stick," requiring an increase in steering effort, leading to overcorrections and potential collisions. Electric Braking System Sticking: Another class action lawsuit argues that Honda sold model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles with electric braking systems that can stick at highway speeds. This alleged defect can cause vehicle owners to overcorrect, increasing the risk of collisions. THERE IS YOUR HONDA RELIABILITY. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It doesn’t make much sense to compare the normal ice to the hybrid. Even though I’d pick the sonata regardless (unless the accord touring was cheaper than the sonata limited), you should have awarded a lot more points for the fuel economy difference since it was like a 40% difference or so
@@Sunshyne81 yeah exactly like I’m sorry but Toyota and Honda are old news now until they step it up and start trying to compete with Hyundai then they will be back on top but till now I’m sorry that ain’t happening
You guys only gave half a point to the sonata because it had heated seats. I think having heated seats should be considered as crucial and deserves at least 2 points
Sonata has been better looking, a better value, stonger engine and more high-tech than the accord since 2011. People who talk that "Hondas are reliable" talk, are living in the past. Not saying they arent reliable, and not saying i wouldnt take this accord over my 2016 Azera. Just saying, head to head, Hyundai has been silently destroying Hondas. Lets not even talk about Genesis vs Acura. That isnt even close to competitive. Genesis is on the heals of Mercedes and BMW.
After having driven the Accord, I'm happy to report that the blend of sportiness and mainstream comfort is still present. It seems that Honda at lesst kept the suspension engineering department in check. The 2.0L Hybrid powertrain seems a little more polished than the Toyota system, and it does feel a notch faster than the 1.5L. All of that said, once you start poking around the car, some cost cutting reveals itself. The interior feels cheaper and more hollow than the 18-22, as does certain exterior attributes like the unpainted plastic vs gloss on the bumpers. The front lighting also is a downgrade over the previous generation. And with the demise of the 2.0T, Honda lost it's WOW factor from an enthusiast's standpoint. Time will tell if the 24 Sonata makes its intended splash(I actually love the bold styling), but with Hyundai still finding a way to keep the N-Line in a world where BOTH the excellent Toyota 3.5 V6 and Honda 2.0T are no longer available and venture into mixing sport, upmarket elements on the Limited, hybridized power, all the while keeping the value-driven conception alive is admireable. One thing to keep in mind with the Honda: It will retain stellar resale values, so even with the higher MSRP, you'll likely recoup that and more upon resale.
I find it interesting that regular car reviewers tend to favor the Korean brands, but UA-camrs who are mechanics, always favor Honda and Toyota over the Korean brands.
Don’t forget one thing: the mechanics can only review old models. If you plan to buy a used car with more than 5 years old and 100,000+ miles the mechanics’ video may help more. If you are planning to buy a new car and ready to trade it in with another one before the warranty ends the reviewers’ videos would be more helpful.
@@manofsesame3024 I see your point, but plenty of them review new models as well. None of the mechanics that I know of speak highly of Korean cars for so.e reason.
How can you judge, really, 2 new vehicules on reliability ? Ye mechanics can do an assessment and risk evaluation depending on the parts, etc. but this is not bulletproof@@CaliSteve169

I pick the Sonata. Our first Sonata was the 2011 SE, our current Sonata is the 2018 Limited T2 , bought it New in 2017 and it only has 22k miles on it.
I would pick Sonata. And I always drive Honda since my first car years ago. Honda Accord EX probably a better choice. Definitely not the hybrid with no spare tires.
Took the Honda Accord. Toyota and Honda are just king of reliability. Biggest factor is resale value. After 5-10 years nothing compares to Toyota and Honda resale value. Hyundai after 5-10 year ownership resale value is horrendous .
Reliability is very difficult to quantify. Any massed produced product such as a car can have failures that are minor or major no matter what their reliability rating is. Any defect can be addressed for free as long as the car is in warrantee. The Sonata warrantee is almost twice that of the Accord.
@@lefthanded5473 Hyundai has made significant improvements in reliability over the years. According to various reliability and satisfaction surveys, Hyundai is now considered to be on par with other reliable automakers. Here are some examples: · J.D. Power: Hyundai ranked 4th in overall initial quality in 2022, beating out many established brands. · Consumer Reports: Hyundai has several models that are recommended for reliability, including the Elantra, Santa Fe, and Tucson. · Warranty Direct: Hyundai ranked 3rd in their 2022 Reliability Index, which analyzes warranty claims. Hyundai's reliability improvements are due to various factors, including: · Investments in research and development · Improved manufacturing processes · Enhanced quality control · Longer warranties (Hyundai offers one of the longest warranties in the industry) While no automaker is completely immune to issues, Hyundai has demonstrated a commitment to reliability and continues to improve. As with any vehicle purchase, it's essential to research and review reliability data for specific models and years to make an informed decision.
The 1.5L Turbo engine from Honda is unfortunately not reliable. Head gasket issues and oil dilution is a persistent problem and shortens the life span of that engine. So unless you got the Hybrid model... you were just relying on Honda pedigree and not reality.
@@lefthanded5473pal it's not 2001 all cars have problems... Who doesn't have heated mirrors Honda who doesn't have heated steering wheel Honda... I bet you you believe everything you read on the internet
@@PLZU81Truth Kia and Hyundai will always have horrendous reliability and resale. They are disposable vehicles.. not made to last more than 6 years.. and if you look around on the road that's about as long as they last.. They are known for being oil burners.

HONDA HEADACHES: 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ Brake and Rearview Camera Defects Honda recently issued recalls for various models due to brake and rearview camera defects. These recalls address potential safety hazards that can result in accidents and injuries. Unexpected Loss of Brake Function: Honda recalled over 124,000 Civic, Passport, and Pilot vehicles, including certain model year 2020-2021 Civic, 2020-2023 Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Passport, 2021-2022 Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall was prompted by concerns that the vehicles could experience an unexpected loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. Defective Brake Holds: Another recall impacted nearly 400 model year 2023 Civic, Accord, Acura RDX, and Acura Integra vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with defective brake holds, leading to potential movement while the brake hold is activated. Honda plans to notify impacted vehicle owners by mail, starting from July 24. Rearview Camera Concerns: Honda recalled over 1.1 million Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport vehicles due to defective rearview cameras that may not display properly. This recall applies to model year 2018-2023 Honda Odyssey, 2019-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2019-2023 Honda Passport vehicles. A non-functional rearview camera can compromise the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Class Action Lawsuits against Honda In addition to the recalls, Honda is facing class action lawsuits that allege serious defects in its vehicles' components. Variable Timing Control Actuator Defect: A class action lawsuit filed against Honda claims that the automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective variable timing control actuators. The alleged defect, affecting model year 2012-2014 CR-Vs, 2012 Accords, and 2012-2015 Crosstours, can lead to catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety hazard. Defective Electric Power Steering Systems: Two separate class action lawsuits were filed against Honda, asserting that model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles were manufactured with defective electric power steering systems. These systems may "stick," requiring an increase in steering effort, leading to overcorrections and potential collisions. Electric Braking System Sticking: Another class action lawsuit argues that Honda sold model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles with electric braking systems that can stick at highway speeds.

Just grabbed a 24 Sonata Limited Hybrid. Love the car and fuel efficiency. Hyundai has been a forward thinking manufacture recently. It has the tech and luxury adults are looking for and style & affordability for younger (teens) drivers.
Great comparison video Drew and Mason! Being a Toyota fan I would have to pick the Sonata for my personal preference! Appreciate you both sharing this! Mark in Iowa.
I have the new accord and theres so many features that are missing from my previous jetta. No blind spot not heating steering wheel. No heated mirrors like bruh. Why is blind spot an option!?
I'd like to see this comparison after 100K miles or so... subtract points on the car that's been at the dealership/service center more often for repairs.

Get over it already. I traded in a 21 Accord 2.0t Touring for a 23 Touring. I liked the 23 better. Speed does not tell the whole story. Honda knows the market better than me or you. They made the right choice going Hybrid and refining the vehicle. It feels like an Acura with a Honda badge at least with the top trim Touring.
@@brenttitus2134 I'm over it. That's why I'm keeping my '21 Accord 2.0T. You get over telling me what is right for me and that a company knows better what I should be driving. And good for you that you chose the '23. I know what I want and I know that a 204hp hybrid is not it.
@@a32tl You are not over it since you couldn’t help yourself with the 2.0t shtick. It’s long and over played. Honda has moved on and it’s not coming back. Deal with it. While it’s not as quick as the 2.0t I had, it’s still sufficient and has enough pep.
Personally, I've never seen myself driving a Hyundai... I've been an Accord guy for my whole life. So out of bias (just because I own a 2001 Honda Accord V6--and I love it), I would take the Accord over the Sonata.
In 2023, Hyundai and Kia ranked 3rd in global car brand sales, a testament to their growing influence and reputation in the automotive market. Hyundai has been awarded the prestigious "World Car of the Year" title for three consecutive years in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with models like the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and EV9. This recognition highlights their excellence in innovation, design, and electric vehicle technology. Hyundai and Kia have been gaining a lot of popularity recently. I think experiencing them wouldn't be a bad choice!
I don't think people realize how unreliable the engine of Hyundais/Kias are. Don't believe me search it up and you'll see the potential cost of repairs for their parts and especially their engines. Even full on car people say to avoid them.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter which one UA-cam likes. The Accord will more than likely double or triple the Sonata in sales just by default 😂. Reason being, Honda owners have a much better ownership experience than Hyundai owners. There’s really no debate about that.
Then you look at overall sales and the Koreans are selling more vehicles.. they have since 2021, I didn’t even watch the video, I know the sonata won… just by your comment I didn’t even have to watch the video to know!!! Sales does not mean a better vehicle.. ford sells more trucks than Toyota, so ford has the better truck in your logic correct? (They do) but I’m sure you’d disagree because it’s a ford.
@@theofficialquent3488yes although you have to look at each company’s approach to international marketing. Honda the US has been their main market for like 20 years. I think they sell more in the US than the rest of the markets they’re in. Hyundai is a much more global company, the US is just a market for them. That’s why Honda sells so many more here despite being a less global company with lesser sales.

Most cars where there's less stuff that can go wrong its usually the better car , buying the Honda is the better choice for me. I have see a moded sonata and it looks great that way , have not seen the new accord as yet
@@lefthanded5473 I am explaining this from the perspective of a Korean person:) Kia models produced between 2011 and 2021, and Hyundai models from 2015 to 2021, that were manufactured in the U.S. did not come equipped with immobilizers. This is because U.S. law did not require such security devices to be installed, so from Hyundai and Kia’s perspective, it made sense not to include them. Among the latest vehicles sold in the U.S., the ones being stolen are typically those without the smart key and push-button start options. However, in Korea, all Hyundai and Kia vehicles, regardless of model year, are equipped with immobilizers. In the U.S., the "Kia Boys" break windows, forcibly remove the keybox cover, steal cars using improper tools and methods, and drive without a license. When the car gets damaged or becomes inoperable, they abandon it and flee. This is a societal issue in that area, not a problem with Hyundai or Kia. The cars were clearly locked, and everything was done by force. I believe this reflects poor education and a lack of social awareness among the youth in that region. Additionally, laws to prevent such incidents should be strengthened. From what I’ve heard, these offenders are often released with just a warning because they are minors. I wonder how people would feel if the person who completely wrecked their car was released simply because they were young. The problem lies with the individuals committing the theft, not with the cars themselves.
- I have a '21 Accord. - Sincere = I'm Not QUITE sure how i feel about those particular Hyundai rims. I kinda like them / I kinda don't. (too flashy? / looks like jumbled up paper clips?) 🤔
Looking to buy a Hyundai Sonata, Honda Accord or any vehicle? Go to carconfections.com/new-car-quotes to learn about invoice pricing and get the BEST PRICE on vehicles in your local area!
Here in Canada basic Accord non hybrid is $40000 & Sonata with SO MUCH More equipment including Leather ,Panorama Roof ,Ventilated seats & AWD is $36000 & lots more I haven't mentioned. For a low mileage driver like me the Sonata wins hands down especially with 5 Vs 3 Year warranty. I haven't even mentioned the styling but that Accord doesn't even appeal to me & I'm 77 : ) ! I've had my Genesis 3.8 Sedan for 6 years & it's the best car I've ever owned but it was $50000 in 2016 & a new 2.5 is $70000 now so I'm seriously considering the AWD Sonata for 1/2 that price.
I've owned the original Genesis 3.8 sedan for 15 years now, and still going strong. I would still love to drive a new midlevel 4-cylinder Genesis G80. That said a Sonata Hybrid would be a better fit for my budget and driving. I would pick most Hyundai-Kia offerings without hesitation (except for the garbage 2011-2019 Sonatas assembled in Alabama).
I also like Honda a lot too - I used to own a 2002 Accord as well - but after Honda discontinued the manual option on all Accords, I lost my appetite.
I was going for the Sonata Hybrid but I hear they blow engines, got the accord, very happy even though I think the Sonata is nice interior, just don't trust the engines
maybe 10 years ago (and you usually got a lifetime warranty on the new engine they put in) - reliability is rated higher than Honda right now - still nothing wrong with the Accord if that is a preference. @@LarryLarryize-wu4ru

How about changing your car 2024 sonata again
gas or hybrid version? i am curious. I am planning to wait 1 or 2 years then trade in my car for Sonata but haven't decide on gas or hybrid trim yet.
Personally the Sonata Hybid for me is the better deal. That sweet sweet warranty and quiter interior along with more creature comfort and tech at a better price. Also when comparing powertrain the Accord being a hybrid should be compared to a hybrid!
Definitely I go for Sonata. I've been leasing Sonatas since 2011. 💚
I already got the beautiful 2024 Sonata. It's awesome! Hyundai did it's best so far. Smooth riding, a lot of standard features, beautiful internal and external refresh. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

2011 is where Sonata started to really change the game. That body style in 2011 was ultra unique.

As a current Honda Civic owner and former Honda Accord owner. I’m looking to purchase a 2024 Sonata hybrid Limited as it has more features than the Honda Accord Touring and cheaper price.
They always did, you just never gave them a credit. Huyndai/kia always offered best value for money more features and tech and power at a cheaper price including insane 10 year or 100K warranty
Do not buy kia or hyundai. They will BOOM 💣💣💥💥
It's a very handsome car. I'm sure you will enjoy it, and the spaciousness it gives. I've been buying Hyundai and kia products since 2005. Brand new, all were excellent, no serious or expensive repairs, all have gone over 100.000 miles. 😊
One thing that i have not heard from any reviewers is the uncomfortable front seats in the Honda/Acura vehicles. We own a ‘23 Integra and the front seats have seat bottoms that are hard as rock! Went to check out the Accord to possibly trade for better comfort but found them to be the same way! I would not consider the Accord for that reason alone. Looking at the Sonata now for possible trade and the seats at 100% better.
I test drove a new Honda Accord last May. The hard front seat was the first thing I noticed😮 I agree with you Kia and Hyundai make more comfortable seats.
you can get the sonata for less than the integra. With the price difference you can get a sonata limited hybrid.
Go for a Lexus
The Sonata seats are super comfy. I almost got one but got a 2024 Elantra N-line instead, which also has really comfy seats. The exterior and interior are way better than the new Civic and Accords. Honda really dropped the ball. My 2017 Civic coupe was one of my top 2 favorite cars I've owned, then they messed up the design for gen 11
I have a 2023 Sonata Limited and really like it. The 360 camera and the blind spot cameras are the best I have seen on any car. I understand that the 2024 Sonata Limited only comes with a hybrid and a 6 speed transmission giving it the same mileage as the Accord. With the 1.6L Turbo, I am getting about 30 MPG around town and 40 MPG on the Highway. One of the roads I often take is very curvey and is fun to drive in my Sonata. Also, the dealer experience has been good. I took it to the dealer for annual maintenance that was free and they even washed the car before returning it to me. I have driven Lexus ES350 and Acura TL for many years but feel more comfortable in my Sonata,
I like that the third brake light on the hyundai is at the top vs in the middle. It makes it safer and more premium looking!
Sonata wins hands down. The only winning factor for the Honda is its predicted reliability, although Honda has been starting to have lots of issues.
The big no-no of the Sonata is having a DCT. Their lifetime expectancy is around 80K to 100K miles. As hated as they are, CVTs (eCVT in the case of the Accord) excluding those old Jatco ones Nissan used to put in their cars, have proven to be very reliable and durable. Having said that, the Sonata does have more features for the price, but if you want to keep a car for a long time, Toyota/Honda is the way to go. Hyundai and Kia are good too if you choose a CVT or traditional automatic.
@@davidarreola1985 The DCT is only in the inline now. My Sonata SEL does not have a DCT.
@@davidarreola1985 this sonata has a regular 8 speed auto. The DCT is in the N line Trim.
You are very true. I used to own 2022 accord 2.0 transmission went out at 12k miles and a lot of other issues .I'm done with honda .
Do not buy kia or hyundai. They will BOOM 💣💣💥💥
There’s one very important thing you didn’t mention on the Sonata that makes me pick it over the Accord. The trunk hinges are covered and it has an auto trunk closer. You typically have to step up to higher end brands to get those features. It could be the covered hinges that reduce trunk capacity but you’ll know the trunk will close. With the regular intrusive hinges you’re more likely to pack the trunk than not be able to close the trunk. Just a little minor convenience that goes a long way!
The Sonata wins in every aspect
Let me point out a few things for you guys. In this segment of vehicles, not counting the luxury brands or super expensive sports vehicles. It was Hyundai that first offered a customizable digital gauge cluster, it was Hyundai who started those seamless air vents that go across the dash, it was Hyundai who started putting safety features across all trims, it was Hyundai who started implementing big screens. It was Hyundai who started offering a more luxurious cabin at these price points. It was the Kia Optima that Honda copied the fastback design with the Accord....which happens to be a Hyundai product. Anyways go ahead and finish your comparison
😂 wake up ur dreaming
@@jcwatts5000 it's a fact, don't respond to something you know nothing about. Oh and I forgot to add panoramic roof!!!!!! They started that way back in 2012, does the Accord or Camry even offer that yet?
I agree with you bro
@@user-zc1dx5dv5u and you say that for which reasons? I can name a bunch of things that make the Hyundai Sonata better overall. I can only think of one thing, possibly 2 depending on trim that is better with the Accord. The only thing I can think for the Accord is resale value. I guess the sport version handles better than the Sonata SEL, but for just about the same price you can get a Sonata N-Line, which solves that problem. Don't get me wrong, Honda changed the game many, many years ago pushing manufacturers to step up reliability......but it's Hyundai who has just completely changed the game everywhere else for the last 8 years. I'm not trying to convince you to switch, 3 years ago I was laughing at Honda, Toyota and the rest owners. While we were driving around with all these advanced features , you guys weren't, and you all probably paid more. Only thing I try pointing out to other manufacturer fanboys, is that Hyundai been had those features you guys get excited about, it was Hyundai who forced who's brand you guys like in to stepping up to catch up. And the fact you all should be thanking Hyundai for pushing your brand to offer those far better amenities for the over price you all pay. Does the Accord even offer a panoramic roof yet? The Sonata had that back in 2012
@@user-zc1dx5dv5u you can say which specific parts are better and safer but you can't say which car is better since both brands benefit from certain and different things. Not everything is better because it's a Honda. Not everything is shitty because it's a Hyundai. Also, a lot of the fires were caused by the techs not doing their jobs properly. Every cars have their own recalls. Don't be a prejudice. They're both nice cars.

let us not forget about rear air vents. WTH????
as an 2013 sonata owner I really like both of these cars but to be honest honda looks like one generation older and needs an heavy facelift soon
This. Accords look like 2010's.
What’s crazy is that this IS the Accord facelift😭 it got an all new design for 2023. Definitely the worst accord design ever, although I’m not a fan of this sonata design either, I thought the previous gen looked better too
NO. Honda looks TWO generations older.
Their trying to design their cars with a more older but modern look. Theres a car they don't sell in the US I would instantly buy if it came to the US. It looks like it belongs in the 80s but with a modern interior.
I got the 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-Line and I'm loving it like a fat kid love mdee's! Could have gone with the 2024 Accord but with the new redesign of the Sonata, panoramic sunroof, premium features, wireless phone charging, the Sonata was more appealing and more bang for your buck.
Sedans drive way better on the highway than taller SUVs.
Absolutely.
That’s why I want to go back to a sedan. They drive so much better than suv
Yeah, you don't feel like your car is being pushed to the side when there is heavy wind. Driven pickup trucks and it feels like that everytime, my sedan doesn't have that feeling
One of the highest compliments you can pay to a SUV is to say it drives like a sedan. Sedans are the standard.

This accord was such a letdown, was hoping for way more of a sporty feel. I really love the look of the Sonata and the fact that you can still get a fast sporty sedan without having to go up to the 40+ thousand dollar range. That being said the new Camry, I think looks awesome as well and the xse model has all the bells and whistles. I want heated steering wheel, panoramic, sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, all-wheel-drive, and it’s 30 hp faster than the accord etc. But I may need to take a look at this sonata And test drive it since they’re out at dealerships now. I feel as though I’m gonna be let down because interest rates are still high and they’ll probably want luxury car payments for a sub $40,000 car. I have a 2020 sport accord 2 L turbo so I don’t need a car it’s more of a want lol.
I've already leased SEL Sonata without convenience and it has a lot of standard features. I love it!!!! 💚💚💚
Hyundai nailed the design on that sonata 😍
Pre-facelift was also gorgeous ...
As a Honda accord and hyundai sonata owner for years both cars are very reliable no problem in the end the sonata is the better buy . Because of the 10 year 100,000 mile motor/trans and 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty
..overall Piece of mine..and better pricing on the sonata i always get better pricing on the sonata.
TBH, I purchased a New 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid FWD Blue edition, Last year. I'm Averaging 45 mpg, 13.1 Fuel Tank size. (Snow Tires) Boston MA ❤️ Love Your Videos 😎🎉
This is the exact comparison I've been waiting for. I'm a Honda guy, but that Sonata is the best looking sedan imo.
3:02 Larger wheel doesn’t necessarily mean better though. I for one prefer smaller wheels for more comfort, better fuel economy and lower price.
i agree. if i'm not at the track (which i never have been... lol) i prefer more rubber ie a 60 series vs a 50 series.... a more cushioned ride.
While I did not mind the fish-face design and found it actually sharp, the new Sonata has a nicer look to it.
The Accord looks like the 4th gen Camry in person but larger. It think there's no more budget going to the design department.
I think Honda's position was to simplify the design across this lineup because it's going in a completely different direction for design. I think in the coming years I think we'll see. This design begin to take more shape. I don't think it looks like a Camry at all, but I do think it looks like a two generations old Chevy Impala, but they improved upon that Chevy Impala design. It's cleaner and it looks better in my opinion
All the big Sedans on the market have been reduced funding. Big SUVs and small sport sedans are the only market the manufacturers are focusing on now.
Wish the sonata was just a hatchback would make it an appealing choice over my audi a5 sb honestly
Great vid. Would definitely like to see the Sonata hybrid limited.
Great review! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice showing the side by side. Thank you. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I will go for the Sonata as well, however here in the US we only have the N-Line and the Hybrid Limited. I’m driving my 5th Sonata Limited now. Saw my first one (2010-2011) on the Super Bowl commercial and that was after I had just gotten a new 2009 Accord EXL - my 5th also.
When I saw the Sonata on the commercial I knew I had to have it so sold my brand new Accord to my sister and it’s been every Sonata Limiteds since then. I haven’t had any issues with my Limiteds except the 2013 which had an issue with the gas mileage not getting even close to what it should. Brought it in several times and was told the diagnostics were reading correctly so told them I wanted out. They sold me a 2013 Sonata Hybrid for a tiny, tiny amount more. It worked like a charm. However, (I know, foolish), I missed the panoramic sunroof so turned the Hybrid in for the Limited with panoramic sunroof.
So now here I am with my fifth one. Sonata offers much more than the Accord for a lot less $$$. So desperately waiting for this 2024. There are a few things I don’t like about it though - one, if you live in NE or a cold state the gloves have to come off to use the heat and fan as it is all touch control except the temperature and the fingerprints will drive me crazy. Will keep microfiber cloths in the car as I now keep a duster in my car always. Also don’t like the Hybrid only comes in 17 inch wheels - I prefer the 18 inch I have now. I will have to see if they can switch to the 18 inch.
So if this all sounds negative, it really is not. I went from being a die hard Honda owner to a die hard Hyundai owner and won’t be turning back. Hoping to get the 2024 in the next couple of weeks.
I’m thinking they may introduce the 2024 during this upcoming Super Bowl. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Between me, my mom, my son and my Aunt, we’ve gotten 13 Hyundais from the same dealer.
Sorry so long…🥺
Honda Pilot owner . Dealer Service took me home & picked me up in an Accord . I thought the tire noise was " louder " than it should've been . Sonata for the win .
Based on my past experience with Honda, I'd always go with the Accord.
The older accord looked better, redesign doesn't look that good. Sonata has a lot going but looks better and offers Nline with more power which is nice
Honda has GOT to get with the times!!! They’re charging more money for less features?!?!
The Hyundai gives you:
-Panoramic Sun Roof
-Heated Front Seats
-Larger Digital Speedometer
-Wireless Charging
-Wireless CarPlay/AA
-USB Ports in the Rear
-Clearer Backup Camera
-Auto Dimming Mirror
-Head Side Mirrors
-Better Warranty
ALL FOR LESS MONEY!!!
Unless the Hyundais design is the only reason stopping you from buying this over the Accord, it’s obviously the clear winner.
if all those features dont work as long as the features in the accord then you know why the accord clearly wins
you also need to remember 40k ish is almost a years work all put into a vehicle so even a 10% difference in reliability means alot
@@kinanali4496And when they do , and they won't, Camry looses. Ive had Hyundai vehicles with tons of TECH, and after 7 years and over 100.000 miles, there was never issues with the tech.
accord for quality, sonata for gimmicky
Is it really for real? $33K Accord doesn’t have heated seats??? Are you kidding me???😮
Among sedans in that segment, I think Kia's K5 has the coolest design.
I love my K5 GT LINE!
My boyfriend is a Hyundai service manager. He always says…if you’re planning on keeping the car past 100K miles, get a Honda. If you’re getting rid of it before 100K get a Hyundai. Point being, the long term reliability and resell value of Honda’s far surpasses Hyundai’s regardless of how well you maintain a Hyundai 🤷🏻♀️
저는 한국사람입니다 남자친구분의 말이 맞습니다
현대기아는 인테리어와 옵셥에서는 세계 최고라고 자부합니다 허나 엔진 미션 내구성은 일본차에 비해서 비교가 안됩니다 저라도 일본차 구입할겁니다
Honda took a step back with most of their designs. Hyundai and kia are still killing it..
Sonata is incredibly head turning, gorgeous design 😊
It looks good from the side but the front and rear especially are so ugly
Both cars are nice, but I’d pick the Sonata. Just as a reminder, the Hyundai Sonata is only on a facelift cycle. Can’t wait to see what the next generation will look like in about 2-4 years.
I still have a Acura 2016 TLX V6. Modded with Taekedo intake and straight piped. Got a cheap heads up display that works pretty good, ceramic coated it put, LED lights in it, also app and a bass in it. A few other little small mods. Point being I love it. You can find one of my cars for a steal. I got pops and gurgles from the exhaust and when v-tech kicks in with a short ram intake, it sounds like a race car. It’s not the best car factory, but man does it come alive with some work.
Owning an accord ages the owner by 15 year, and I’m not ready to be 49 just yet.
😂😂😂
Maybe because wise people tend to drive them. Go buy a veloster maybe to appear youthful 😂
@@Mark-eu6mc bro, you know what a joke is? I don’t care for these vehicles, I watch for pure entertainment.
@@Mark-eu6mc A Veloster will make you look broke and dumb..🤣😂🤣
Consider adding the warranty and maintenance to the comparison. Its the Sonata for me, Hybrid version - quiet, superior fuel economy, traditional transmission and longer warranty!
I’ve driven Hyundai hybrids with traditional trans and it’s horrible. I prefer the cvt in the Toyotas hybrids.
@@oldmanmike4995 I have only driven the current generation Sonata. The programming sucks. But for highway performance and efficiency it outshines the CVTs.
Be careful and do your resrarch on the hybrids, resale on our 2016 was horrible because the battery was 7 years old.
The Sonata looks much more edgier / flashier.
The 2024 accord is square , plain ( no chrome) . I think the exterior of the prior generation was nicer ,rounder with a bit of chrome.
Thank you guys for reviewing the mid level models that MOST people actually buys! 👍This is what gives you advantage over other car reviewers.
You bet! Thanks for watching!
My two favorite midsize sedans! I'd be inclined to go for a lower-trim Accord (gasoline only, no hybrid) or a hybrid Sonata.

Brake and Rearview Camera Defects
Honda recently issued recalls for various models due to brake and rearview camera defects. These recalls address potential safety hazards that can result in accidents and injuries.
Unexpected Loss of Brake Function: Honda recalled over 124,000 Civic, Passport, and Pilot vehicles, including certain model year 2020-2021 Civic, 2020-2023 Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Passport, 2021-2022 Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall was prompted by concerns that the vehicles could experience an unexpected loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Defective Brake Holds: Another recall impacted nearly 400 model year 2023 Civic, Accord, Acura RDX, and Acura Integra vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with defective brake holds, leading to potential movement while the brake hold is activated. Honda plans to notify impacted vehicle owners by mail, starting from July 24.
Rearview Camera Concerns: Honda recalled over 1.1 million Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport vehicles due to defective rearview cameras that may not display properly. This recall applies to model year 2018-2023 Honda Odyssey, 2019-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2019-2023 Honda Passport vehicles. A non-functional rearview camera can compromise the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Class Action Lawsuits against Honda
In addition to the recalls, Honda is facing class action lawsuits that allege serious defects in its vehicles' components.
Variable Timing Control Actuator Defect: A class action lawsuit filed against Honda claims that the automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective variable timing control actuators. The alleged defect, affecting model year 2012-2014 CR-Vs, 2012 Accords, and 2012-2015 Crosstours, can lead to catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety hazard.
Defective Electric Power Steering Systems: Two separate class action lawsuits were filed against Honda, asserting that model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles were manufactured with defective electric power steering systems. These systems may "stick," requiring an increase in steering effort, leading to overcorrections and potential collisions.
Electric Braking System Sticking: Another class action lawsuit argues that Honda sold model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles with electric braking systems that can stick at highway speeds. This alleged defect can cause vehicle owners to overcorrect, increasing the risk of collisions.
THERE IS YOUR HONDA RELIABILITY. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It doesn’t make much sense to compare the normal ice to the hybrid. Even though I’d pick the sonata regardless (unless the accord touring was cheaper than the sonata limited), you should have awarded a lot more points for the fuel economy difference since it was like a 40% difference or so
he gave a .5 point to the accord for having bigger tires but yeah i get the accord should've gotten points for the better fuel efficiency
That made no sense to me either cause the Hybrid Sonata actually gets better MPg than the hybrid Accord
@@Sunshyne81 yeah exactly like I’m sorry but Toyota and Honda are old news now until they step it up and start trying to compete with Hyundai then they will be back on top but till now I’m sorry that ain’t happening
You guys only gave half a point to the sonata because it had heated seats. I think having heated seats should be considered as crucial and deserves at least 2 points
in canada sure , other countrys close to the equater its a minus but i see your point
I just bought my new 2024 Sonata SEL AWD 3 days ago and I LOVE IT!! ❤
Honda Accord is the best choice all the time.
Sonata has been better looking, a better value, stonger engine and more high-tech than the accord since 2011. People who talk that "Hondas are reliable" talk, are living in the past. Not saying they arent reliable, and not saying i wouldnt take this accord over my 2016 Azera. Just saying, head to head, Hyundai has been silently destroying Hondas. Lets not even talk about Genesis vs Acura. That isnt even close to competitive. Genesis is on the heals of Mercedes and BMW.
After having driven the Accord, I'm happy to report that the blend of sportiness and mainstream comfort is still present. It seems that Honda at lesst kept the suspension engineering department in check.
The 2.0L Hybrid powertrain seems a little more polished than the Toyota system, and it does feel a notch faster than the 1.5L. All of that said, once you start poking around the car, some cost cutting reveals itself. The interior feels cheaper and more hollow than the 18-22, as does certain exterior attributes like the unpainted plastic vs gloss on the bumpers. The front lighting also is a downgrade over the previous generation. And with the demise of the 2.0T, Honda lost it's WOW factor from an enthusiast's standpoint.
Time will tell if the 24 Sonata makes its intended splash(I actually love the bold styling), but with Hyundai still finding a way to keep the N-Line in a world where BOTH the excellent Toyota 3.5 V6 and Honda 2.0T are no longer available and venture into mixing sport, upmarket elements on the Limited, hybridized power, all the while keeping the value-driven conception alive is admireable.
One thing to keep in mind with the Honda: It will retain stellar resale values, so even with the higher MSRP, you'll likely recoup that and more upon resale.
Did your Honda get recalled too? There is a massive Honda recall campaign. There is your honda reliability.
@@andresmattos7541I don't own one, but I did hear about the recall for sure.
@@andresmattos7541Seems like every company has recalls these days. Even Toyota
Honda looks boring. More grandma than even the Camry. I'll take the sonata n line.
That Accord is an eyesore. I'm not even a Hyundai fan but will definitely get the Sonata.
I find it interesting that regular car reviewers tend to favor the Korean brands, but UA-camrs who are mechanics, always favor Honda and Toyota over the Korean brands.
Don’t forget one thing: the mechanics can only review old models. If you plan to buy a used car with more than 5 years old and 100,000+ miles the mechanics’ video may help more. If you are planning to buy a new car and ready to trade it in with another one before the warranty ends the reviewers’ videos would be more helpful.
@@manofsesame3024 I see your point, but plenty of them review new models as well. None of the mechanics that I know of speak highly of Korean cars for so.e reason.
How can you judge, really, 2 new vehicules on reliability ? Ye mechanics can do an assessment and risk evaluation depending on the parts, etc. but this is not bulletproof@@CaliSteve169

FIND THIS INTERESTING TOO. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I pick the Sonata. Our first Sonata was the 2011 SE, our current Sonata is the 2018 Limited T2 , bought it New in 2017 and it only has 22k miles on it.
I would pick Sonata. And I always drive Honda since my first car years ago.
Honda Accord EX probably a better choice. Definitely not the hybrid with no spare tires.
The new Sonata has the vote for me. Definitely a better choice!
Took the Honda Accord. Toyota and Honda are just king of reliability. Biggest factor is resale value. After 5-10 years nothing compares to Toyota and Honda resale value. Hyundai after 5-10 year ownership resale value is horrendous .
Reliability is very difficult to quantify. Any massed produced product such as a car can have failures that are minor or major no matter what their reliability rating is. Any defect can be addressed for free as long as the car is in warrantee. The Sonata warrantee is almost twice that of the Accord.
@@lefthanded5473 Hyundai has made significant improvements in reliability over the years. According to various reliability and satisfaction surveys, Hyundai is now considered to be on par with other reliable automakers. Here are some examples:
· J.D. Power: Hyundai ranked 4th in overall initial quality in 2022, beating out many established brands.
· Consumer Reports: Hyundai has several models that are recommended for reliability, including the Elantra, Santa Fe, and Tucson.
· Warranty Direct: Hyundai ranked 3rd in their 2022 Reliability Index, which analyzes warranty claims.
Hyundai's reliability improvements are due to various factors, including:
· Investments in research and development
· Improved manufacturing processes
· Enhanced quality control
· Longer warranties (Hyundai offers one of the longest warranties in the industry)
While no automaker is completely immune to issues, Hyundai has demonstrated a commitment to reliability and continues to improve. As with any vehicle purchase, it's essential to research and review reliability data for specific models and years to make an informed decision.
The 1.5L Turbo engine from Honda is unfortunately not reliable. Head gasket issues and oil dilution is a persistent problem and shortens the life span of that engine. So unless you got the Hybrid model... you were just relying on Honda pedigree and not reality.
@@lefthanded5473pal it's not 2001 all cars have problems... Who doesn't have heated mirrors Honda who doesn't have heated steering wheel Honda... I bet you you believe everything you read on the internet
@@PLZU81Truth Kia and Hyundai will always have horrendous reliability and resale. They are disposable vehicles.. not made to last more than 6 years.. and if you look around on the road that's about as long as they last.. They are known for being oil burners.
It would be an easy answer if the Accord still had the 10 speed with the 2.0T. I don't know what to do!
Simple! You test drive both, and buy the one that makes you smile and gives you that I GOT TO HAVE IT feeling!
I would pick the Honda accord
Honda Accord always for long term ownership reliability and unmatched driving dynamic !

Great comparison video Drew and Mason! Being a Toyota fan I would have to pick the Sonata for my personal preference! Appreciate you both sharing this! Mark in Iowa.
I have the new accord and theres so many features that are missing from my previous jetta. No blind spot not heating steering wheel. No heated mirrors like bruh. Why is blind spot an option!?

I'd like to see this comparison after 100K miles or so... subtract points on the car that's been at the dealership/service center more often for repairs.
I have a 2015 sonata with over 100k miles and only changed the brakes, battery and oil

Hyundai last 100k and depriciate it's value quickly, Accord will probably lasts 200k plus and holds it's value
I've heard a lot of complaints about the Accord sport but praise of the touring?
I will choose my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T over both of these newer models. Shame on Honda for discontinuing such an awesome powertrain.
Get over it already. I traded in a 21 Accord 2.0t Touring for a 23 Touring. I liked the 23 better. Speed does not tell the whole story. Honda knows the market better than me or you. They made the right choice going Hybrid and refining the vehicle. It feels like an Acura with a Honda badge at least with the top trim Touring.
@@brenttitus2134 I'm over it. That's why I'm keeping my '21 Accord 2.0T. You get over telling me what is right for me and that a company knows better what I should be driving. And good for you that you chose the '23. I know what I want and I know that a 204hp hybrid is not it.
@@a32tl You are not over it since you couldn’t help yourself with the 2.0t shtick. It’s long and over played. Honda has moved on and it’s not coming back. Deal with it. While it’s not as quick as the 2.0t I had, it’s still sufficient and has enough pep.

Yeah that 2.0T was a great engine.
Great job guys the Accord wow ❤❤
Personally, I've never seen myself driving a Hyundai... I've been an Accord guy for my whole life. So out of bias (just because I own a 2001 Honda Accord V6--and I love it), I would take the Accord over the Sonata.
In 2023, Hyundai and Kia ranked 3rd in global car brand sales, a testament to their growing influence and reputation in the automotive market. Hyundai has been awarded the prestigious "World Car of the Year" title for three consecutive years in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with models like the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and EV9. This recognition highlights their excellence in innovation, design, and electric vehicle technology.
Hyundai and Kia have been gaining a lot of popularity recently. I think experiencing them wouldn't be a bad choice!
You have to calculate hybrid battery replacement cost at high mileage $15,000 + expensive labour for hybrid handling.
Accord is winner for me and I would even choose my 2020 2.0T Accord over sonata.
Probably JDM fanboy right here😅
would get gapped by an Elantra N
@adamcabral9182 I don't care...who lose resale value faster, who is safer , who is more reliable over 5 years???
@adamcabral9182 and your point is??? People support teams, athletes, countries and some have great experiences with some manufacturers than others.
@@TheKingkingg the Hyundai line up have great warranty
I don't think people realize how unreliable the engine of Hyundais/Kias are. Don't believe me search it up and you'll see the potential cost of repairs for their parts and especially their engines. Even full on car people say to avoid them.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter which one UA-cam likes. The Accord will more than likely double or triple the Sonata in sales just by default 😂. Reason being, Honda owners have a much better ownership experience than Hyundai owners. There’s really no debate about that.
Then you look at overall sales and the Koreans are selling more vehicles.. they have since 2021, I didn’t even watch the video, I know the sonata won… just by your comment I didn’t even have to watch the video to know!!! Sales does not mean a better vehicle.. ford sells more trucks than Toyota, so ford has the better truck in your logic correct? (They do) but I’m sure you’d disagree because it’s a ford.
@@theofficialquent3488I like your comment, hope he will respond to your analogy
@@theofficialquent3488yes although you have to look at each company’s approach to international marketing. Honda the US has been their main market for like 20 years. I think they sell more in the US than the rest of the markets they’re in. Hyundai is a much more global company, the US is just a market for them. That’s why Honda sells so many more here despite being a less global company with lesser sales.
HONDA HEADACHES: 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Brake and Rearview Camera Defects
Honda recently issued recalls for various models due to brake and rearview camera defects. These recalls address potential safety hazards that can result in accidents and injuries.
Unexpected Loss of Brake Function: Honda recalled over 124,000 Civic, Passport, and Pilot vehicles, including certain model year 2020-2021 Civic, 2020-2023 Ridgeline, 2021-2023 Passport, 2021-2022 Pilot, and 2020 Acura MDX vehicles. The recall was prompted by concerns that the vehicles could experience an unexpected loss of brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.
Defective Brake Holds: Another recall impacted nearly 400 model year 2023 Civic, Accord, Acura RDX, and Acura Integra vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured with defective brake holds, leading to potential movement while the brake hold is activated. Honda plans to notify impacted vehicle owners by mail, starting from July 24.
Rearview Camera Concerns: Honda recalled over 1.1 million Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport vehicles due to defective rearview cameras that may not display properly. This recall applies to model year 2018-2023 Honda Odyssey, 2019-2022 Honda Pilot, and 2019-2023 Honda Passport vehicles. A non-functional rearview camera can compromise the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Class Action Lawsuits against Honda
In addition to the recalls, Honda is facing class action lawsuits that allege serious defects in its vehicles' components.
Variable Timing Control Actuator Defect: A class action lawsuit filed against Honda claims that the automaker knowingly sold vehicles with defective variable timing control actuators. The alleged defect, affecting model year 2012-2014 CR-Vs, 2012 Accords, and 2012-2015 Crosstours, can lead to catastrophic engine failure and poses a safety hazard.
Defective Electric Power Steering Systems: Two separate class action lawsuits were filed against Honda, asserting that model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles were manufactured with defective electric power steering systems. These systems may "stick," requiring an increase in steering effort, leading to overcorrections and potential collisions.
Electric Braking System Sticking: Another class action lawsuit argues that Honda sold model year 2022-2023 Honda Civic vehicles with electric braking systems that can stick at highway speeds. This alleged defect can cause vehicle owners to overcorrect, increasing the risk of collisions.
THERE IS YOUR HONDA OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It depends on whether one likes a CVT transmission.
Another good review. Unbiased and not Toyota(and Honda)-fabboy review!
Thanks!
Neither, honestly, I'd go with the all new Camry.
I'm sorry, but we're not talking about Camrys here. Nor is it on our option list. Please find a Camry video where you can discuss your love of Camrys with like minded individuals. Have a nice day.
Most cars where there's less stuff that can go wrong its usually the better car , buying the Honda is the better choice for me. I have see a moded sonata and it looks great that way , have not seen the new accord as yet
Imo Vast improvement over previous Sonata awkward boxy body lines lol
Even tho Sonata won in this, I'm still picking the Accord.
Let me guess, reliability. Same rhtetoric.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145Hyundai = Kia boys smashing your windows thinking it can be stolen with a usb stick or the engine randomly catching on fire.
@@lefthanded5473 that's honda. Thank me later for why hondas are garbage
@@lefthanded5473 I am explaining this from the perspective of a Korean person:)
Kia models produced between 2011 and 2021, and Hyundai models from 2015 to 2021, that were manufactured in the U.S. did not come equipped with immobilizers. This is because U.S. law did not require such security devices to be installed, so from Hyundai and Kia’s perspective, it made sense not to include them. Among the latest vehicles sold in the U.S., the ones being stolen are typically those without the smart key and push-button start options.
However, in Korea, all Hyundai and Kia vehicles, regardless of model year, are equipped with immobilizers.
In the U.S., the "Kia Boys" break windows, forcibly remove the keybox cover, steal cars using improper tools and methods, and drive without a license. When the car gets damaged or becomes inoperable, they abandon it and flee. This is a societal issue in that area, not a problem with Hyundai or Kia. The cars were clearly locked, and everything was done by force.
I believe this reflects poor education and a lack of social awareness among the youth in that region. Additionally, laws to prevent such incidents should be strengthened. From what I’ve heard, these offenders are often released with just a warning because they are minors.
I wonder how people would feel if the person who completely wrecked their car was released simply because they were young.
The problem lies with the individuals committing the theft, not with the cars themselves.
Accord look so old
I agree
Looks like a Ford Taurus , bleh. The front end went backwards compared to the prior generation.
Sonata the one to Get!!! Wow
- I have a '21 Accord.
- Sincere = I'm Not QUITE sure how i feel about those particular Hyundai rims.
I kinda like them / I kinda don't.
(too flashy? / looks like jumbled up paper clips?)
🤔
