  2010 Accord LX Sedan - 83,000 miles of reliable tr - 2010 Honda Accord
  By Adam Zaharchuk - November 29 - 11:38 am

  Very reliable, has needed no mechanical repairs. Only oil & fluid changes, tires and brake pads. Drives and handles great! Very comfortable seating. High quality interior (for the most part). What I dont like: plastic wheel covers chip very easily, and after 83,000 miles, the steel wheels behind the wheel covers are discolored. The window belt molding has been replaced on all four windows as the rubber that was used has basically disintegrated. Unacceptable for a Honda that is only five years old. The paint is also of very poor quality. I have the dark gray color, and gave recently started to notice some very slight oxidation. The paint also chips fairly easily, especially on the front of the car/hood area. The headlight housings are also of poor quality. They have already started to haze up. I am tall (63") and when I enter the car, my knees tend to hit the dashboard.

  Still love it! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By whitegloves - September 8 - 11:54 pm

  Bought 7/2010 for mechanical reliability, thats what Ive gotten so far. Not a single problem there, not even a funny noise. Snappy, responsive engine handles firm and tight. Good visibility compared to others in category. Great family car, roomy backseat/huge trunk. Fantastic sound system but totally unusable at freeway speeds due to Hondas legendary high level of road noise transmission. Also dont like: headlights weak in intensity and range seat comfort = meh no fuel economy data readout headrests from hell (but other brands worse) steering-wheel wrap turning color ever so slightly, developing a dark purplish cast to the original charcoal -- but only I can see it apparently.

  not as reliable as expected - 2010 Honda Accord
  By jmsms - July 4 - 8:12 am

  at 45000 miles began having popping and crunching sounds from the front end especially in hot weather and at 48k took it in to get looked at and was told that the front end ball joints were bad and also that the rear brakes were gone and rotors needed resurfacing. Now reading about Hondas and ball joint failures on the web, but this seems awfully premature. I have not had ball joint issues like this even in cars that I have kept over 100k(no previous Hondas). Some of these failures can be catastrophic. I had thought to keep this car and give it to one of my kids to take to college but now I am not so sure. Apparently a design flaw from what I have been reading.

  Hidden Gem - 2010 Honda Accord
  By jrasero23 - April 16 - 4:59 pm

  Odd to say an Accord is a hidden gem, but Honda sells thousands of more 4 door sedans compared to the 2 door coupes, so its easy to overlook the coupe. The coupe is 70% mid size sedan and 30% sports car. No one will ever think the Accord is a sports car, but with its sporty coupe shape, Bentley like back, and aggressive front the coupe looks great. Pair the coupe up with a V6 and you have 271 HP to whip you around. Where the coupe falls short from a sports car is steering which is numb and while the VCM saves gas, acceleration isnt always 100% smooth with the auto. By far the Accord coupe has one of the biggest backs and trunks for a coupe.

  Buyer Beware! - 2010 Honda Accord
  By tflower - April 16 - 3:55 pm

  I am a three time Honda buyer because of the reliability of the vehicles. This car has major issues with oil consumption due to poor engine design. At three years old and 50K the engine has to be replaced. I had the oil changed 4 weeks prior and the car started running rough and check engine light came on. There was not any oil on the dipstick! Honda knows there is a problem but has not issued any warnings or recalls. The fact that they are not forthcoming has really angered me. This is not Honda quality or reliability. Buyer beware and do your research before buying this vehicle.

  2010 Accord - 2010 Honda Accord
  By burguy - January 30 - 5:36 pm

  Bought new & have owned a little over two years now. Sixth Accord we have owned since 1989. The car is all Honda, except for the road noise. We have had the car back to the dealer multiple times and they finally said the V6 is just noisy. "after all, its not a Lexus" We were told that "this is a common complaint and the 4 cyl. is much quiter". I think it will be a great car mechanically, but we are trading it in at 30 months and about 30,000 miles. Move over Honda, we are going to look at the 13 Camry & maybe the ES350.

  Disappointed - 2010 Honda Accord
  By mstiltner - April 24 - 6:20 pm

  Leased this Honda in Sept. 2010 for 36 months. Just need to commute back and forth to work and one vacation a year. I have owned Hondas in the past and I am disappointed with this Accord. The ride quality and road noise are HORRIBLE! I expected more from Honda and now Im stuck with a 36 month mistake.

  Some drawbacks but pleased - 2010 Honda Accord
  By wyomatt - March 23 - 12:37 am

  Glad for a car this loaded under $26k. Snow tires for these 18s are $1k so we just relied on ESC/ABS. No winter problems but Id be torn if still in the Dakotas. With spirited driving expect 19mpg city/27 hiway @82. Use low octane for best results. Dont use high-octane on Accords as they do not have high-compression so not only is it wasteful but actually reduces mileage. Low octane doesnt mean inferior gas....it means it burns quicker. Accords all suffer with road noise, even after using several can of rubberized undercoating its still almost unacceptably loud. This is surprising as they obviously attempted an upscale feel. If you want peace and quiet better get the Acura.

  Honda Lover - 2010 Honda Accord
  By molliebear1979 - March 17 - 7:39 pm

  This is my 4th Honda Accord but my first 4 door. I feel that they down grated on the interior. Everything is plastic. I find the car rattles at times when the ac is running. It doesnt do it all the time. It also makes a loud noise when the temp outside changes when I turn my ac on. Is anyone else hearing any noises kind of like a roar noise when the ac is on? I love my Honda other than the ac noise.

  Great car for the price - 2010 Honda Accord
  By arizgeorge1 - March 8 - 9:50 am

  My 2010 Accord is very comfortable and the 4 cyl is adquate for my type of driving. I have almost 4000 miles on it and the gas mileage is reasonable. Interior and outside design is similar to other vehicles in its price range -- nothing unique. I was disappointed that an outside temperature gauge is only available on the top model. For highway safety reasons, it should be standard across the board! Dont expect any technical support from Customer Service at Honda headquarters. They will just refer you back to your dealer.
