Great to see a normal car tested to put things into perspective.
Lets see Mercedes Benz E series's shit performance on the track ;)
Normal cars have 252hp and a turbo-4? Damn, I like the new normal lol. My 2000 Civic had 106hp, nobody blinked an eye 😆, but everyone wants 0-60 in under 6 seconds now, 10 seconds is too slow!!
Excellent video! Love hearing the raw natural sounds of the engine tires etc. Thank you for not playing some horrible background music during the drive. Thanks!
Happy this was done. In the real world (with kids) a fun sedan is needed. Sure a hellcat is nice but over 25mpg, room & fun doesn't have to be 3 separate vehicles.
And safer. I wouldn't want a hellcat because the speed is very concerning lol. But hey, with a fun Accord, it'll be so reliable that you can pass it down to your kids. Just thinking way ahead ;)
@@mravocadoman2904 4sure!
Always fun to surprise people, too. People except Porsches and Mercedes to be tearing around corners...but an Accord? It's always cool to defy expectations.
So cool to see how my 2018 sport 2.0T 6speed holds up on track! As I’ve had this car for a year now the main thing these cars need is a decent set of tires. The Goodyear’s, while great for just grand touring and normal driving, offer no grip when you start pushing them in corners or hard acceleration. A good set of tires does wonders. Also.. Honda.. if your listening.. LSD IN THE 2.0T TRIM PLEASEEEEE
I knew this car can handle great on track. Nice to see a car like this on track
I have this same car. Put some better tires and coilovers with better sway bars and this car would run a much better time. Honda was just to cheap from factory to upgrade the brakes too. Car has almost zero turbo lag and can be tuned to 375 ft pounds of torque. Not bad for a family sedan.
The stock pads on almost all cars like this are tuned for cold stopping power. I don't think you'd even need bigger rotors or anything. On my 2016 the Touring/Sport both have larger rotors already than the other models!
Ktuner on mine... best $ I've ever spent
I got Firestone Indy 500 summers and hondata stage 2. Things a beast
Hondata will get it at 260hp and 370 ft/lb of torque.
Honda messed up in removing the limited slip diff from their high powered accords. The v6 mt had one. Issue is if you want to track the car or drive aggressively, the type R is only a few thousand more and doesn't require any mods.
Remember people, this is just a FAMILY SEDAN lol
@William : really? is grass green? well thanks for the reminder. Lol, man, read the title first.
It's Honda Accord (SPORT) not only family car...
That corners like a sports car I have a 2019 accord touring 2.0t and I throw her ass around corners daily! A lot of fun on the highway when you want to tear through the 10speed hittin 105 in 5th gear zero turbo lag smackin at 1100rpms. Honda knows how to make a FAMILY SEDAN
@@fragME4109: I suppose the six-speed is sweet, but I gave up the clutch decades ago. Love paddle shifters!
I have a 2019 accord touring 2.0t 10speed automatic and I throw her ass around corners daily! Keep it in sport at all times it's just a lot of fun spinning out the tires and cornering on/off-ramps at 65mph she grips the road like an AWD sportscar. And when you wanna just cruise around and smoke a joint with your girl it's as comfortable as a top tier luxury brand with endless infotainment options, ventilated/heated seats(my favorite) coupled with Honda sensing and your Honda pretty much drives itself allowing you to relax and enjoy the creature comforts of a $90,000 luxury brand in your $35,000 car.
She sucks ass. NO limited slip diff, suck ass shifter. Stfu.
Very intriguing video. The Honda Accord 2.0T proves handily why it’s the better Driver’s family car compared to the Altima, Camry, and Legacy. Very interesting that even the Kia Stinger GT, Dodge Charger, and Tesla model s wasn’t very that far ahead either
I know it isn't within the scope of what C&D does but I'd love to see times for an Accord 2.0t manual with Pilot Sport 4S tires, a tune and better brake pads. It would be interesting to see how close it would get to a Type R for people that might be cross shopping the two cars.
Probably because Honda tells them not too. As it would damage TR sales when people see the accord with a few cheap mods can outperform their current halo car.
@@suburbandrone1764 aight bet
The stock tires don’t have much grip. I find myself doing burnouts when doing light throttle take offs on different pavements. And also tends to slip on semi aggressive cornering.
omg sameeeeeee lol, the rear is very light. if you come quick on a corner shit will slide lol
Annas Ahmad True but I feel slippage on the front. Bottom line, this car needs tires that grip better.
Manny Talavera yes exactly. And with too much power this car needs AWD. It will be the best car out there. Man if this car had AWD. It will be crazy.
Manny Talavera yeah that’s the problem with meaty turbo cars and energy conserving tires. Each design type has two completely different aspirations.
Fuel efficiency tires is the reason why
2019 Accord Sport 2.0T 6MT, I has it.
exists ? wow
Good time for a family sedan
Needs some decent rubber... :/
Easy, just go buy some summer tires and you're good to go.
Needs at least a tenth of a g more grip. This is atrocious, although probably decent on the regular roads.
@@ecoRfanand it needs to be lowered like an inch... and have strut bars... and anti-rolls bars... and sway bars.
Holy shit, look at how slow the 2015 Tesla P85D was with so much more power 😂
I think it because the tesla over heats at the thought of prolong acceleration.
glad they did the Tesla back then so that its readily available to shut fanboys up. They think that because the car can do well from 0-60 means its much better than any sports car or sedan.
Konos44 that’s the whole point. Elon keeps saying his cars outperform everyone else, period. That’s not exactly true
@@DonLee1980 he will gladly race a lambo on the drag strip but do you see tesla braging about anything else? Nope, cuz they are garb
And to think of how much hate the Challenger receives for being heavy and not the sharpest handling...
When I drove a Model S a few years ago, it didn't feel as composed as a W212 diesel E-class on mountain roads, (drove them within an hour of one another). I didn't like the way it handled mid-corner bumps especially. The Merc absorbed everything.
About time Car and Driver. I'm a Honda owner/Car and Driver subscriber. Bring on more everyday cars(Fusion Sport, Taurus SHO, Buick Regal GS) or even some retro cars(1978 Pontiac TransAm, Ferrari 308, Plymouth Barracuda). The 911 is fast, yeah, we know. Spice things up a bit guys.
Need for speed, Honda 👍🏽
7 seconds away from the 3.3l Kia Stinger GT. Commendable. I'm sure it is also faster than the BMW 530i M sport too
And 7 seconds faster then the V6 Camry.
How would it be faster than the 530?
Never noticed the flashing TSA light before. They had traction control and stability control fully defeated.
Takes like 15 seconds of button presses.
My buddy has the sport model 2020 & it came with Michelin tires, I have the 2020 touring & it came with the Goodyear eagle touring.. I guess it doesn't matter from vehicle to vehicle or model they just put whatever tire good year or Michelin
I wonder how many seconds summer tires would take off of this
Nicholas Folse they come with summer tires from the factory.
@@EVGUY13245 no they don't
Multiple
smokesgtp look it up.
@@EVGUY13245 I have. Michelin or Goodyear all seasons, and some garbage Hankooks on lower trims are all that is available from the factory.
I want to see Honda's on an oval track like in NASCAR. Endurance high RPM racing. Maybe a little smaller than a NASCAR track. 100 laps of redlining VTEC's and other tuners also.
Ok, I know this video is a year old so I apologize in advance, but did that Accord really bark the tires on the 2-3 shift out of Oak Tree?!?!
I am a little surprised that the Accord beat the Camry, by 7 seconds . . .
Way to go Honda . . .
@PeePee2000 I think you are right.
Insane body roll.
Wow, open diff life
Wao honda #1
Curious how much time it would gain using the 10 speed automatic, with summer tires, and the spare tire taken out of the back.
With a rear sway bar and drop in tune, this thing would probably be pretty close to the Civic Type R
I have the 10 speed and it rips even stock. It's almost as fast as an STI. With a tune, lowered with good tires I feel it would be great on a track.
Did anyone else hear that tire chirp at 2:01 ?? lol
Carlos Davis wheelslip when laying power down even though it’s not the most powerful.
I've occasionaly been able to chirp going into 3rd (this same car, 2.0T 6MT). The only other car I was able to do that on was a 2003 Acura CL Type S 6MT.
I want one, but I'd burn the front tires off in a hurry lol.
LOL I was sitting here wondering why the gear shifts sounded odd for an automatic then I finally clued in that it's the manual version...
How would the Mazda6 fair w/its new turbo4? Also, wish they (honda) would bring back the accord wagon and the prelude (Si)...You know, living in the 90s I am.
Engine sounds great, enough growl to know you've got a lot of backend power, but not flashy (which is expected with Honda lol).
Very surprised at how smooth she is with the strut setup. Track looks fun, where is this
Was considering a new Miata
Virginia
Turning the"eco" off gives better throttle feel & response.
What’s better tires Michelin or good year
Is he driving it in "Eco Mode"? I have a 2018 2.0T (10-Speed Automatic Transmission) and I don't think he's even using the turbocharger here (think it only uses it, or at least dials it down, unless it's in "Sport Mode") 😮
David can’t hold a steering wheel
What are these practice laps ?
And I wonder how much better that car would grip going around those corners if it had a limited slip diff 🤔
same speed as a model s haha
Car and Driver, please create a Hooning Lap feature. I'd love to see someone drive these cars in a very silly manner.
But no Camry XSE for comparison.
Nick Vielbig only problem is these tires are garbage. 0.82 g is horrible for a "Sport" trim. Not sure what XSE V6 would pull there though, their tires are also probably garbage.
Nick Vielbig the 5337-lb Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk pulled 0.89 g and this only pulled 0.82. No good on the track if you can’t take the curves hard.
Accord got upgraded chassis and torque vectoring plus more acceleration, don’t think it’s fair.
I've driven this car and it didn't feel 3200lbs
felt more like 3600-3800 maybe because it's long
I agree with you completely, I own one and it feels like driving a crossover SUV more than driving a car. Behind the wheel it just feels more substantial than a sedan usually feels.
It's actually shorter than the 9th gen. Minimally, but shorter.
Horrible seats! Designed for short, petite folks. I'm not huge(6-5, 225 lbs) but the seats in my '99 and '03 Acura are much more comfy.
@@Alexi7666 lol 6'5" 225 is pretty huge my dude😂 that's definitely 99th percentile
I wonder how the faster 10 A does?
I have a 2019 accord touring 2.0t 10speed automatic and I throw her ass around corners daily! Keep it in sport at all times it's just a lot of fun spinning out the tires and cornering on/off-ramps at 65mph she grips the road like an AWD sportscar.

Joe F Simply put faster.
ɸธp ツƒrคğ๓є I like the Touring. It is very comfortable and sporty like you stated with its active suspension and electronic add ons but 2.0T 10 speed Sport is a faster and lighter car.
Hell the passenger seat is not electric only the drivers. Also the ride is not as comfortable as the Touring’s.
Can't tell if this question is bait, or scum
not a bad time considering it wearing shitty all season tires
Wtf is he drunk???
Does this can have rev matching like the type r?
b3ar0fab I own a 2.0T manual and I can confirm that it does not.
What are the top 3 Acura/Honda's to lap the lightning lap?
Acura NSX - 2:50.2
Honda Civic Type-R - 3:03.9
Honda Civic Si (2017) - 3:14.6
Honda S2000 CR (2008) - 3:15.0
@@Dolby109 that type R time is legit
WHY IS YOUR INTERNET PAGE BANNED IN EUROPE??? Please answer.
Mgoblagulkablong not enough nude content.
Why doesn't anyone use the sport mode on the car.....
Manual transmission does not have a sport mode, just eco.
My only question is why?
@Stev3 Good point
Abd Jr lol
Cause it makes a fun daily driver, that apparently is decently competent on the track.
Xxx
Cause they’ve always been okay motors in a good chassis. The last gen Accord coupes compete in PWC along with M235i, 370Z, and other random cars.
And people will still defend the BRZ as a legitimate sports car even though an open diff front wheel drive , family sedan with non aggressive all season tires was faster buy almost 2 seconds. Against a rwd 2 seater with suspension mods and tires........lmao.
This years special edition BRZ was faster than the Accord by a 4.4 seconds. Even still it was not a great lap time for a $34k sports car.
@@Dolby109 change the tires on the accord like the BRZ ..... it's pure crap and that was my real point .
Well what the BRZ/GT86 needs, and what people have been clamoring for since before it ever came out, is/was a power increase. It's become a running joke now that they keep releasing all of these versions with "no increase in power".
For the people that like it with 200hp, that is fine, they just need to have different engine options. The Camaro and Mustang both have 4 distinct engine options available, and those cars aren't shared ventures between two brands. The Toyobaru can afford to throw the turbocharged wrx engine in and will still make plenty of profit.
@@Dolby109 I agree , it either needs power or a much lower price point . Even then , it doesnt get great MPG either so I cant use it as a commuter. I would be sold on it as is for $24k Max but then again , is it worth getting over something tried and true like a Mazda ? I like my mustang but it's kinda relaxing to drive the newer miatas as a commuter in my opinion.
Yeah right now I'd go with the Miata over the BRZ/GT86. Better gas mileage, convertible top, and faster in the quarter mile even before the 22hp bump.
2015 gti 3:19.3
Forget the mustang gt500 this this is cheap but fast my car equipped with a turbo even better. Comes stok with a turbo
Now do the 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6!!!!
Great for driving in the ditch
Too bad the stock tires are garbage and the speed is governed to only 120mph
Look the new Accord is a great car and all, but it's kind of an odd car to take to Lightning Lap don't you think? Still, did alright for what is though.
Is thag all a p85D could do 😂😂😂
2019 Civic Si is faster. Has a LSD and 1 more HP per pound. It's a drivers race but It should always be faster.
And the VW GLI is faster than both, lmao.
Ha ha ha, the 2019 VW GLI beat it by over 7 seconds.
Weak driver, my Grandma can do better than that.
😉
It's a family sedan....98% of the buyers could give a rats ass about this thing going around a track...seems pointless
Yet there’s not many comments like yours from idiots other than yourself. What’s pointless really is your negativity.
David T Toyota fanboy!
I'm pretty sure this is going to be the slowest car this year. The BRZ beat this by four seconds with almost 50 less horsepower, and the 4-banger Camaro with 275 whooped dat azz by 10, or 14 seconds faster than this turdwagon of a 'sport' sedan.
I mean, for a big FWD family car with all-season tires, this time isn't half bad. I mean, hell, it's within spitting distance of a Dodge Charger police package car.
But yeah it's definitely the slowest.
Homo sapien
Lol a 1LE camaro beat a accord, no way, did you figure that out all by yourself? Wow
Homer Sapienne This is the slow one. The 2.0T 10 speed automatic Sport is the fastest Accord. With sticky tires you would think an F1 driver is driving it.
From the main article...
the Accord turned an astounding 3:18.4. That’s 1.3 seconds quicker than a 2017 Subaru BRZ Performance Package
so this man lieas
