I have committed to reviewing new Honda Autos every time a new one reaches my lot. I am in sales, so I get the first look at these cars! I am stoked to see every new re design and feature and share them with you in high quality. If you're stoked too, I'd love to have you as a subscriber! :) - Авто та транспорт
Got the loaded 2.0T about a month ago. I'm in love. Was ready to go hybrid, but performance was well below acceptable. All controls are meticulously laid out, and the tech is top notch. Active cruise and lane keep have revolutionized the way I drive. I call it half-autopilot. It's early, but the transmission and brakes are both a bit jumpy. Comfortable as hell. AC seats in FL are a live saver. And she looks purdy, too. Loaded to the T's, this is a $40k car, but I'd argue there's nothing else even close in this price range.
Great comment!
Me too- I bought the same exact car in this video about 5 days ago (also in FL)-- the white with black rim appearance package. With the extra accessories it's like a completely different car from the regular tourings. The accessories just tie it all together so that everything just works!
I bought the same car fam, and people now I’m straight Brugh !! 👍
just what i wanted to know thanks
Just go with the 2.0t Touring accord it comes standard with everything a HUD, electronic push button shifter paired to the 10 speed automatic transmission, heated and cooled seats, wireless phone charging, honda sensing, NFC near field connection
Thanks for not speaking so fast bro , I understand you pretty well
I bought a CR-V LX in February and I LOVE it 💯. The Accord is fantastic as well, but I chose the CR-V cause I wanted more cargo room, reliability, great handling, comfort, inexpensive to own, and decent horsepower.
Best Honda man put there . Awesome breakdown
this is awesome! I'm buying a Honda and wanted to know the difference❤
Having the 1.5T Touring, I agree with most of your views on the various differences in features. 2 other features that you get with the Touring are the adaptive dampers and the 19" wheels. With the 17" wheels on the EX-L, your ride would be smoother and quieter I would think. This is where the adapter dampers help with the ride on the Touring with it's low profile wheels/tires.
We love our 2018 Honda Accord Touring 2.0 , the HUD is a really useful addition . No rear charging ports though , that would have been helpful for my son in the back seat . The center console is awkwardly placed , it’s a fair size but be ready to bang your passengers elbow . The glove box is to small . Cooled seats to help keep you cooler then most leather sears . We don’t use the Honda Link , we have the Navigation and an apple cell phone with Car Play . It looks like an Audi or BMW from the exterior but those low profile tires have taken a beating . BUY IT , ITS AWESOME 😎!
If rear charging ports are a big issue, they are available for $120 as a dealer installed option.
I GOT THE TOURING 2.0T AND LOVE IT :) PLATINUM WHITE PEARL & IVORY INTERIOR !!!!
Better get seat covers if u wear jeans !
@@nygiantschamps9340 why?
Looks-wise, my favorite car is the Audi A7. I can’t afford it tho.
This car looks similar and is more reliable than an Audi.
Next year, I’m planning to get a new car. I’m thinking about getting this. Always had Hondas and Acuras.
Which car did you end up getting?
Also working with Honda, I recently bought an Accord 2.0T Sport. I was happy to omit leather, while adding in heated seats and a sunroof compared to the 1.5T Sport. I live in a colder climate, so heated seats are a must!
how has it been?
getting the 2019 2.0t Touring soon
Save your money and get the Ridge Line its a four-wheel drive that feels like the accord 😍. Great review btw👍
Touring model all the way👍. Might as well get all the bells and whistles! I currently own a 2016 EX-L V6 model but will soon be trading up to the 2018 Hybrid touring. Will be getting the best of both worlds(fuel efficiency and 2.0 engine)😁
DANIEL ALEXANDER just know the hybrid is not turbo. That was something I didn’t know.
sillydrew77... yes, thank you.
Randy Jackson... thanks for the input. I honestly want to simply save gas and be able to join the HOV lane solo😂
I will get the exl hybrid in a couple months, 85 mile commute one way in my tl is starting to kill my pockets.
I think tha kool n i like part is tha P,R,N, and D button shifter beside tha normal shifter handle...👍👍👍
I know what MY next car will be....2018/19 Accord Hybrid Touring in Pearl White. Wife loves her 2017 Accord Hybrid Touring. She is killing it getting 50-52+ mpg on each tank when the rated mpg is only 48! Honda has done an amazing job on these cars. Prius....what a joke. Who wants to drive a hybrid that looks like a toy when you can drive LUXURY and COMFORRT and turn heads at the same time!
I just got my EX-L 1.5T (no Navi) a week ago. Love it! I couldn't justify an extra $4K for features that were nice, but would not really be needed or missed, although the heads-up display is totally cool... just not $4K cool.
The 1.5T has enough power for my needs, the 17"s look and ride great, and I just took it for a 225 mile ride (85% hwy @ 74 mph) and got 40.6 mpg on Econ mode.
Bill Wellford I have been thinking about buying it too but the 1.5t engine have oil gas mixup on crv and civic not sure about Accord have this problem
jerry mathews a quick check on Google, and after reading various Honda forums, that gas/oil mix problem appears limited. I found no reports of it happening in any 2018 models or in any Accords.
jerry mathews While no manufacturer is flawless I think Honda's reputation for quality would not allow that type of fault to go unresolved in subsequent model years, nor do I think a company like Honda would expand the use of that engine in their best selling models if there were a great risk of exposure to liability for repairs or recalls.
Bill Wellford - how do you like the automatic in it?
InstaGraham the CVT is like all Honda transmissions - smooth as silk.
Really nice ride!
Touring is always worth the buck coz 1. All the bells and whistles u want for a luxury car ,2. The 2.0 lit turbo,3. High resale values when u sell it one day .
Nice demo
Get that car bro, cause you been driving it for 3 months. I know you have some sort of attachment to it by now😎👍
Great video Ed. When is the REFRESH for civic Si coming .at least hoping within the next few months
My guess would be 4th quarter 2018. too much ahead of it with the insight and Pilot...
Could you do a video on why you are choosing to get a CR-V? That would be cool to know what you like about it
For sure. That’s a good idea. Because I am still trying to decide which one I want. EX all wheel drive to touring all wheel drive.
Like Bob Johnston mentioned, there are lots of other small details you get in 2.0 touring that you don't get in 2.0 EX-L. I would really like to see the similarities and differences over 1.Ride and handling quality , 2. Cabin Noise, 3. Adaptation frequency of adaptive dampers, 4. how well does both vehicle react with imperfections on roads, 5. 0-60 comparison between 2.0 Touring and 2.0 EX-L. Many of these can be measured with simple app on the smartphone. what do you say Honda man?
The Touring would’ve been nice, but I own the Sport 2.0T and I absolutely love it. Purchased Christmas 2017.
The 2.0 has a lot of get up power when you press the gas and even more when you put it in sport mode. But I also like the 1.5. just putting in my 2 cents. You can't go wrong with either option. I have the 2018 Honda Accord sport 1.5. but I wish that the sport 1.5 came with sunroof and stuff like the Canada ones does, if you don't know what I'm talking about, look up the Canada 2018 Honda accord sport 1.5
I just hate CVT's, which is why I would only consider the 2.0 T.
I love mi 2.0 t for the price is berry good car
Just picked up the EXL and love it. I can't understand why the touring is so much more. The HUD is cool, but seems pretty unnecessary. Cooling seats are great but also a luxury item you just don't need (heated way more important imo). Outside of those two things all you gain is wireless charging and android auto and audio is better plus charging better with your phone plugged in anyways.
And if you're worried about heat just get your windows tinted. It makes a HUGE difference in the internal temp of your car in the summer.
You forgot to mention about the adaptive dampers that we only can get on the touring 2.0. I would like your view on this.
I was expecting to hear about the adaptive dampers too
I was wondering if you have any Civic DX models or Fit DX models. I’m in Canada, so I’m not sure if it works the same in the US. But I’ve seen civic DX models In Canada that didn’t even have power locks. Just curious to know
I would go with the sport with a 6speed manual I know it may not have a lot of features like the touring trim but it's something special about having a manual
Love the Accord in the Touring trim but hate the push button transmission.
I want that accord with all those accessories
Where can I get pricing on the optional features like the wheels and the blacked out pieces on the front? Thanks.
Edward can you please make a short overview of insight as soon as it gets to your dealership?
Russ-Alex Harley Yes I will, I might even go live so keep those notifications on
Niceee...love tha Honda link app
I'm considering going from a CRV to a Civic. Do you miss the space from your CRV?
C-rv is awesome but it doesn't have cooled seats or the heads up display. But I understand why he wants the C-RV, thinking of getting one myself.
Is the Honda Link remote start only for the Touring? I know the Sport 2.0 has remote keyfob start.
Ed can I ask why the Touring have the extra brake light led and the other models don’t, I have a sport 2.0 and even my manuals say my sport should have it. Thank you.
Great review! Do you know when will the new Insight come out?
Goes on sale the 29th!
That's awesome, seriously considering this one. Thank you for the info!
Im glad I can help! you're a big reason I do what I do
Please somebody tell me why Honda company stop putting the passenger mirror camera? That feature it’s great I love on my 2013 Honda Accord EX I’m sad that the new Honda cars does not have it anymore
Is the center arm rest different from the Sport and Touring models?
You are a fisherman. Go with the CRV EX-L AWD! I have one and I love it.
LOL how'd you know about the fishing!?
I saw a past video of you and your girlfriend on a fishing trip. Lol
Hy can u tell me that why is my honda accord lx 2019 is not supporting android phones to play media through data cable need ur helo
I like how he Ed went under MSRP for a minute for the EXL and then corrected it. Salesman always quote MSRP...lol
I just got 2018 accord sport with 1.5t I was looking for 2.0t with 6spd couldn't find one ☹. I would like to see those wheels on a red accord
Those black alloy wheels are better than the original Honda fan looking rims
Good video. I wish Honda would of included a 360 Camera ( not just top view but the feature that gives the driver and option to switch to a front view camera , side view etc...) ambient lighting and kept the shifter like a small mallet head shifter. I don’t like the button control on the touring.
to each their own. I agree on the 360 view. that would be sweet- and Expensive! haha In terms of the button gear selector, I felt the same way but it's grown on me. I actually fell weird going back to a shift lever. Also, it make the storage compartment so much easier to get to!
thanks for watching and your input
Your Honda Man It wouldn’t be expensive in my honest opinion because the technology has been out now for years. There are some features on cars that aren’t active but they are there all you need to do is to go to a tech at a shop that does Coding and they can enable some features that are simply turned off on some vehicles. The accord doesn’t have the features I’m speaking of so this doesn’t work on the accord. People can also do the coding by themselves. I think the 1.5 touring model has the shifter still ?
Your Honda Man I wish Honda would go with a different style wheel. The aftermarket wheels that are on the demo accord you showed are really nice 👍. I like that demo accord with those options. What was the Cost above the base sticker that you listed in the video for all those options? Thanks 🙏
it is $5000 roughly to add all the accessories
Not mentioned in this video is handling (or cornering).
If you want an Accord that has the best handling, go for the Sport model or the Touring model.
They both come with 19" wheels (the EX an EX-L models have 17" wheels).
They both come with low profile tires (the EX and EX-L do not have low profile tires).
The larger wheels and low profile (less sidewall) tires give you better cornering performance.
Less sidewall results in minimizing the amount that the car can roll onto the sidewall when taking a hard turn. The less that the tire yields to the sidewall translates to more of the bottom of the tire maintaining contact with the pavement.
The Sport and Touring models will take turns faster than most people would try (especially in Sport mode, which stiffens the suspension), and the cars will do so with relative ease, no tire squeal, and very good control. I am not suggesting that anyone drive like a nut. Even a million dollar Ferrari will lose control when pushed too hard. But the above mentioned styles handle remarkably well for a family sedan.
If you care little about handling, then get whichever model has the features you want within your budget. I have not driven the other models. They probably handle reasonably well. But their wheels, tires, and suspensions are not dialed in the way the Sport and Touring models are dialed in.
Is there any difference in the way they handle?
Hi, you're a Tomilloso right, and I heard, there are many Tomilloso's in the US. I grew up in Subic, Zambales, and most of our great great grand parents, I believe were from here.
Get the Accord 2.0, touring or not, the 2.0, drivability over minor perks. You will be bored with the CRV, it won’t feel as nimble and quick. And when you can’t pass that car next to you to get over, you’ll be regretting it. You’ll be allowing everyone in instead.. I know because I got a small suv, and was miserable going to work everyday feeling like a chump.
Wow good points! I have dogs, but you’re right how often are they even in the car!? I also fish, so room for the rods is a must... I also like the AWD option
I recently purchased the Touring 2.0T. Great car! Got out of a Fusion 2.0L Ecoboost and the Accord feels way faster. Are the engine specs underrated?
Same here, I'll be trading in our older Fusion V-6 for either a new Accord 2.0 Sport, or (as the wife likes), a new Insight
The Car Crazy Guy no sport?
Are we able to ask for blacked out package for a used touring accord?
Wait i thought they didn't have charging ports in the backseat on none of the trim levels??
2.0t has enough features overall at a good price.
It looks like this car has parking sensors? Would the Ex-L have them as well? Would the 1.5L touring have them as well? What do you think of them?
David Diep 1.5 touring has the sensors ... ex-l does not have sensors
Question?
Can i get the touring with a manual shift?
Hey, How much is the oil change for the touring without a discount?
Getting the Touring just for the Ventilated seats 🤌
any recommendations for the terrible seats? I know you don't have a LX like me. It didn't bother me on a 10min test drive.. but 20-30-45mins... terrible. painful. ruins the whole experience for me.
Honda link? Those thing only comes with touring?
If I'm getting the crv it would be the older model one without cvt
Love my Touring Accord but i hate the vibration noise inside the cabin that dealers cant figure out and the front sensors going off for no reason. Thats the only negative
Nice vehicle. However, I personally hate the design of the claw-like taillights. I'm also not a fan of the push button gear selector. Other than those small dislikes, it's a great sedan. I'm considering this or the Mazda 6 turbo as my next purchase.
Hi. Are manual transmission Hondas hard to get a deal on? Looked at 3 Honda dealerships in my area and they all have 400+ cars on the lot, but less than 10 manual transmissions on the lot. Only manual transmission trims they seem to stock is Civic SI.
Yes, the fact that the vehicle is very rare creates value in itself. When something is scarce and the demand is high, you typically pay more for it - not just cars.
I got my 2018 accord sport 2.0T in manual for $29k with lojack and protection package. You lose some features by getting manual though (no turbo gauge or sport mode) but that isnt a big deal as the torque app will display boost. Also you lose navigation but the car comes with android auto and carplay. Google maps from android auto will display turns on the digital gauge anyway.
There were only 5 manual ones within 50 miles of me and they were all similar (usually black or white)
I love mine, 2020 but pretty much the same car
2021 Kia K5 looks amazing. I hope Honda 11th generation can compete against Kia.
You don’t look balding here. I feel ya tho bro
What is your personal observation on gas mileage between the 1.5 vs 2.0?
I am a lead foot so I get city mileage on both! Hahah on the 2.0 I’m doing about 22/29 maybe 25/33 on the 1.5
What about adaptive dampers
Is the premium sound system any good?
Nick De la Garza hmmm... It's better than last year's. More amps. More speakers. Sounds better than the crv as well. Id say Take a phone or something with music and test it out (bluetooth). I'm still not amazed by it.
Vic da G thanks!
No. I dont like it.
It's okay. Nothing more.
Just ok. Back deck rattles
The touring models also gives you the auto high beam
Kazuki Kisaragi you get auto high beams on the EX-L, too.
Bill Wellford
Yes I know but I prefer the led high beam, you really can't see the halogen high beam
I have driven all trim level of the new accord at night time and the led low beams just over power those halogen high beams
They may be splitting hairs but IIHS also prefers the halogen high beams over the LED's on the 2018 Accord... I doubt it's noticeable to the casual observer.

Whens your next fishing video?
I will be going to Montana at the end of the month to do some flyfishing.
BRO i think ama go to LA only for you to help me buy my accord haha
It sounds like a CRV is a good choice for you. I went with the 2L touring, though I may wish I got the hybrid in a few years. You did not mention the parking sensors in your review, I'm pretty sure those are not standard on the EXL. They are what put me over the edge between the trim levels, and I've loved them!
Is it me or the Unibrow designed differently?
You should do a POV of this car
Italo Almeida good idea!
Your Honda Man would love to see a pov
Thoughts on the 2018 Accord Touring Hybrid?
Thomas Spencer i wanted to buy it for the mpg. But i keep hearing the drive isn't fun at all.
Vic da G Define "fun." I don't need the 2.0 and my test drive of the hybrid showed enough power. Did I miss something?
i dont need the 2.0 either but some folks on youtube compared the hybrid to the 1.5 and found the hybrid relatively sluggish and boring. the 1.5 was rated better for fun factor. but all in all this is subjective. Get what you prefer. Im still driving a 2014 civic so the acceleration is quite laggy local and on hwy. Maybe i'll test the hybrid and find out for myself.
I'm torn between the Civic Sedan Touring and the Accord Hybrid Touring. Both get good mpg. The Civic has nice pep and enough features. The Accord has more comfort and tech. Is it worth the additional $$$? TBD.
no comparison. accord all the way. accord touring is more everything. So much more space. ventilated front seats. better infotainment. Its worth every penny. more IMO. gas mileage is amazing. go accord.
In your driving, did you run accord the this dreaded so-called 2018 Accord "glitch"? [ ua-cam.com/video/xr2i7GbHIXg/v-deo.html ]. Mine is an EX-L and this happened at mile 26! After letting it cool 20 minutes or so, it went away and I was unable to reproduce it. Please advise. Thanks for the video.
@4:32
Subtract approximately $3,000 - $4,000 from the prices quoted (from MSRP).
Look at kellybluebook.com and offer them the low end of what the car has sold for. If other people got the car at that price, you can too.
If the dealer has it on the lot, that is what you can get it for.
If the dealer says no, then go to a different dealer.
The reason a dealer might say no is because if they have low supply, and they are confident that it will sell for close to MSRP, then they will be reluctant to meet your offer.
But this is unlikely to happen. And you have to be prepared to walk, and they will then stop you at the door (of the dealership or your car), with some BS about their manager this or that, and suddenly they can make the deal.
Do not pressure them about tax and motor vehicle fees. In this limited circumstance, they have no control over those fees.
They will probably tell you that you have to pay their "prep" fee, and/or "destination" fee, or some other BS fee (all could be named "pure profit" fee). Do not let them add that to your offer.
They will probably tell you that, by law, they must list separately the "prep" fee. That is true. But what they are not telling you is that the prep fee is not required by law. It is just one of their pure profit fees that they choose to add on. And when they do add it on, then, by law, they have to list it separately. But the crux of the matter is that the fee is BS.
So if your offer is 30,000, and they add on an $800 prep fee, then reduce your order to $29,200 plus their prep fee.
I have a 2018 accord touring, but the HondaLink app is only a 3 month trial and then u gotta pay 100$ a year
Donovan Lee nothing in life is free
I think that is a generalization. Honda LInk works in stages, the first stage is free, then there are three stages that each cost more, up to around $250 a year. Go on line and check this out.
CRV is Yoga Pants grocery shopping mobile!
Hahaha wow! cant deny that
Disappointed there’s no more v6. Will change my 2017 v6 touring to 2018 2.0 T touring. Not happy at all.
Lol 4 grand for puddle lights, cheap lil 50 dollar deck spoiler,and rear charger ports omg yes so worth it -_-
I say you get an E63 Benz 😆
NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE EXTERIOR,BUT IT IS VERY REFINED.
40 grand for a Honda 2.0t... 😳
Honda needs to pick it up man
Accord needs all wheel drive.....us on the east coast need it
He works for Honda. There for his review is going to be biased.
The wheels on the ex-l are ugly, I guess one could change them out though.
I think you should get a Bentley
It has noisy cabin
CR-V has a crt which is junk. I am getting a manual on next Honda but CRV does not offer it.
i didnt like the touring because it has a bunch of chrome all over the car. i hate chrome so much. plus it doesnt come with the sport rims. there really isnt much of a difference between the 2.0 touring and the 2.0 sport. same engine with tiny upgrade differences. plus the 2.0 sport is cheaper so why not? just sayin! if your going to spend that much on the 2.0 touring then you might as well get a BMW or a Mercedes.
First
To bad this touring model comes with low profile tires. They are utterly useless in the snow and they wear out twice as fast as normal tires.
Because of the lack of a normal sidewall when you hit a pothole you will bend the rim and flatten the tire.
Why doesn't it have a digital speedometer? Seems basic
because it has a head up display with a digital speedometer.
I wished Honda had a 2.5 liter Turbo instead of the 2.0 liter Turbo.......
EX L
