I own a basque red 2014 Touring v6. Driven her cross country from California to Ohio and back. This car gets amazing fuel economy and drives like a dream!!! I have no qualms about this generation of Accord. Honda did swell with it!
In response to you reviewing the Touring v6 verses the "volume-v4", THANK You! I ALWAYS prefer the v6 option over a four-pot, and finding video reviews of the v6 2013 Accord Sedan is difficult at best. Again, Thank You!
It's actually the other way around. Look back at the 2002 model accord and you will see who came out with that tail light design first. The lights color scheme has just been flipped with red being on bottom instead. This is not copying Hyundai, the lights just show a sign of evolution from previous more successful year accord model. I think it is important to look at what Honda has done well in the past and improve on it to make another stellar vehicle that can out compete this segment.
Calm down people. I'm sure he'll get the coupe in sometime. A great review. Finally a nice looking Honda. They've all kinda looked like junk in the last few years. Id buy it if I weren't in the market for a truck.
How's the road and wind noise on the new accord? I own a gen 7 and it can get annoying at highway speeds. Clearly, the Verano is quieter, but how does this rate compared to the Camry and Altima at highway speeds? Awesome review, as always.
Haha no, I'm a recent university grad and now working as an engineer...Just thought I'd post a funny but honest comment to see what people would say. Obviously the S7 is in a completely different league. Regardless, I'm impressed with the V6 accord.
I think Honda hit the nail on the head with this one, I was really forgetting about them with their hideous Civic and the previous Accord, but now they got my attention again. The only bad thing is that this is the only car I would even consider buying from them, I wish they could build the rest of their cars like the Accord.
is the gdi engine in honda prone to carbon build up? i really wanted this car until i started hearing about problems with a gdi.. now im not so sure.... HELP!!!! i havent heard any cases online about extreme carbon build up in hondas, but also honda hasnt mentioned that theyve done anything to prevent it.... cars with 75-100k+
Looks really reminiscent of the early 2000's accords. I don't like that since looks like it was inspired on an older version which I know it was. Anyways, I like the amount of features u can get
Decent review but you spent more time talking about the ANC than you did about the led headlights and how bright they are and how well you can see with them. Also, you didn't mention that the mpg was WITHOUT the Econ turned on, which means the mpg should be about 36 hwy... For the v-6. Better than ALOT of 4 cyl...
LED headlights are NOT the same HID headlights. HID's use a noble gas to light the way, whereas the accord LED's are LED's as in Light Emitting Diodes!!!
definitely a better looking accord, the past generation has been quite bland looking. the center stack still looks great and a little less complicated to use now. the past generation had way too many buttons.
This also has a cheaper direct injection engine and CVT transmission. He fails to mention this ( or even open up the hood to show you the engine) and instead focuses on fussiness and features.

The headlamps and running lights are LED on the Touring. Brake lights are LED on EX-L and Touring models.
In regards of the camera on the right side, it's beneficial to have that camera to make a lane change especially if you're in a high traffic area.

Nice review Tom. Excited also to see your review on Acura MDX once it is out this year. 2014 model
I prefer the last generation's interior though this one looks good...without the smaller screen. Another good review.
i drive a 2008 accord ex from time to time and above all else, I hate the plastic feeling steering wheel. is this better?
Great review Tom!...but Honda can't deny that they take that rear end from the Hyundai Genesis Sedan, just my opinion
How's the road and wind noise on the new accord? I own a gen 7 and it can get annoying at highway speeds. Clearly, the Verano is quieter, but how does this rate compared to the Camry and Altima at highway speeds? Awesome review, as always.
It's coming very soon.
nice review. i knew i recognized the beauty of Washington.
Again ... flawless review. We want moar!
Also ...love the way you use car-names as proper names, the Tom! ;)
Hello. I just looked at your review. In your personal opinion with all the testing you've done, which do YOU prefer...the touring, exl, or cvt?
Haha no, I'm a recent university grad and now working as an engineer...Just thought I'd post a funny but honest comment to see what people would say. Obviously the S7 is in a completely different league. Regardless, I'm impressed with the V6 accord.
My only gripe about this Accord is the folding seatback. Other than that, I think the Accord is currently the best midsize sedan on the market.
You also didn't mention how comfy the seats are.

Tom, U always done an excellent review!!!!
Love your reviews! Full of good information and great camera angles. Keep up the great work!
nice review, yet again
Who has the most shoes and better hair though? Tom or the Mrs?
can't wait to see the the review on the 4 cyl accord :)
Are you going to review the new 2013 Mazda 6?

The new American Accord's front design looks very similar to the existing Acura TSX/European Accord. Good call.
All I know is car and driver tested the 2013 Honda Sport Manual and it went to 60 in 6.8 seconds!!! That is V6 speed out of a four cylinder.
Good review. You look like the adult version of Dennis the Menace.
When a vehicle has LED headlights, it means it also has Xenon's (HIDs).
yea this was a great vid. Best accord to date.
Sorry, I don't have the resources to do comparisons the proper way. Nor the time...
Tom, try to do a comparison with another car or more..i.e Toyota , Hyundai ,Kia...etc..be more interesting though will take up more of your time
The Camry is calling... It wants the Top Spot back... Yeah, the 2013 Accord recently outsold the 2013 Camry.
What a great video. Good job. :)

Why don't you review the 2013 Accord Coupe?
I'd take this V6 Touring black on black..
I have one!
I have an 05 Civic Dx. My mom has the 2013 accord ex (4cyl). My car has 60/40 split and hers doesn't. It's crazy.
I actually think that the Accord Touring can compete with cars like the Avalon, Impala, and Cadenza. The Accord has more legroom than Cadenza.
Great review
Nice review
Only Accord Sport has the paddle shifters -- also has more base hp (189) and has dual exhaust.
Awesome Video!
he got ready for covid before covid was even a thing
The V6 is pretty sweet but i cant believe Honda put a timing belt on it. It has to be replaced at 110k miles. thats like $1000 expense
❤️ my 2013! It's amazing on gas.
Cvt or manual 6MT? And what do you average?
4:50 idk maybe brushed iron?
Good review

great video
Better yet, look way back to the 97 Accord.
Hyundai used to copy Honda for the Sonata design and now isthe other way around. The tail lights are pure Genesis
the competition is tough and the new accord doesnt add up in some areas especially the design
This also has a cheaper direct injection engine and CVT transmission. He fails to mention this ( or even open up the hood to show you the engine) and instead focuses on fussiness and features.
@emo1978pr and the Front from Lexus
I have more shoes, she has the advantage when it comes to hair... and smarts.
yeah the audi s7 is awesome but i rather get the Rolls Royce Phantom........... see how stupid that sounds?... what are you 15?
Car looks so sexy in silver
Tom, has "Evil Twin" become "Lazy Twin"?
5:48... do u have a identical twin
It looks like a Lexus to me. Whos with me?
The rear looks too similar to the Genesis, which copied the E Class.
Panoramic roofs are the biggest scam! Ya they look cool but only for a day. Then you dont care and realize it was a waste of money.
It sucked they made this one shorter.
Could this guy sound more disinterested in this car. Nothing but sarcastic comments.
Tom seems stressed with ppls comments and questions. Hes really crusty at the end if the video
Nice car but I would rather get an Audi S7.
twin???
Acting note, you're an evil twin, not an interpreter for the auditorily impaired, don't feel the need to block out everything you're saying.
hazaaaaaaaaaa!
You can go 'Touring' in an Accord?! LOL thats cute
Hey Tom donate me a car please buddy :)
Boring way to review a car...
Knock off the silly comedy stuff
