  Great car, terrible dealers. - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Leonard M. - January 14 - 6:00 am

  I would say that the vehicle itself is probably one of the finest vehicles ever built in the US. Having purchased the exceedingly rare V6/manual combination, I was fortunate enough to find a car that met every criteria I was looking for. The vehicle itself is amply powered, well laid out, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. Build quality overall is good with only a few very minor fit/finish issues. On the road, the vehicle is rather fun to drive on the aggressive side due to the copious power and torque available throughout the operating range. Passing and highway merges are effortless...in fact the most difficult part of driving the car is maintaining legal speeds! Speaking to the manual transmission variant specifically, the vehicle has a satisfying shift action, but the clutch is very light and far less forgiving than other vehicles Ive driven. Sloppy technique is not tolerated by this drivetrain especially with its highly sensitive throttle response. A few months with this car will hone your manual driving skills with certainty. Ride is fairly firm but not jarring and handling is great with good stability in cornering and maneuvering. Steering feel is lacking as with most cars in this day and age. All in all, if youre looking for a V6 and manual transmission at a reasonable price, this vehicle is probably the best option available at this time. My only complaint lies with the sales process itself. Honda dealers are from my experience terrible. Never before have I had to endure as ultra high pressure and scummy a sales process as I went through for this vehicle. It seems to be that the only goal in the process is to inviscerate every buyer with aggressive and ridiculously over priced up sells to maximize profit. I had to literally walk out twice to get them to drop the sales pitch and execute the sale as I wanted. Service is also an issue...Honda dealers seem to have a system of harshly punishing those who do not use the original dealers service dept for service. In my case, I had to purchase the vehicle 2 hrs from my home due to a lack of inventory in my area in the configuration I wanted. Despite having no other place to buy the vehicle, I am subject to being gouged by my local dealer for routine maintenance/inspections since I didnt buy it from them. Overall, Id recommend this vehicle so long as you can avoid the sales process as much as possible. Use an Internet based car buying service and outright refuse to speak with any "finance manager" character in the midst of the process...find your own financing before you walk in. If the sales rep or Internet sales desk cant handle the sale themselves, terminate the process and find another dealer. Do not purchase any upsells as you can get everything they offer for 1/4 of the price from 3Rd parties. Any claims they make to the contrary are lies. Also, using a local dealer you intend to use for service will help improve your service experience.

  NOISY FOR A BRAND NEW CAR!!! - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Shirl - December 11 - 8:48 am

  Ive owned 2011 Accord & due to an accident, she was totaled. I went right back to my local dealership [which is a great dealership by the way] and purchased a BRAND NEW 2015. I feel it was an error. This car seems cheaply manufactured as far as the engine goes. It makes noise like a cheap off brand vehicle and not quiet like my previous honda. It is also noisy on the highway-you can hear EVERYTHING!!! I will be trading it soon for maybe a toyota or nissan. I am disappointed with Honda this time around. Many of my family members own hondas too and their cars are older and quieter like my previous one. I am so annoyed!!!

  Great and not so great. - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Hector Mercado - October 25 - 3:26 pm

  Im a 27 year old man with a large upper body (a little over weight) and I drove an 09 4 door civic till this year when I decided it was time for an upgrade, or so I thought. Like most civic owners, buying an accord v6 feels like your entering the big leagues of Honda, and I was so happy when I got a slammin deal for my 2015 V6 accord. Fast forward 3 weeks later and I notice Im starting to get back aches in my lower back. At first I ignored it and blocked out any idea that it was the car, but I came to the realization it is my new car. The leather seats have 0 give. Theyre way to firm, and it feels like your sitting on hard wood. No matter what adjustments you make to the seat, including the so called lumbar support which honestly feels like someone is pushing you forward, roughly, and not supportive like, your back will be telling you it hurts eventually. I have read many reviews about the accord seats after I started getting back pains and Im not the only one with this issue. On top of the horrible back support and lumbar support, the seat feels like it was designed for primarily "small" people. My upper back has no support since the "bucket" style seats have side cushions that feel like theyre pushing my arms and sides forward, not allowing me to actually relax my back whilst diving. The entire car outside the drivers seat is beyond my expectations, considering Honda is not a luxury brand, but how can I enjoy my fabulous monster of a car when I cant sit in it comfortably? Ill be switching to Acura when my lease is up.

  Nice car except user technology - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Skip - October 11 - 1:15 am

  The Accord requires top level to get nav and other entertainment/communication features. Thus premium price to get. No HD radio. Voice actuation for anything is poor at best. Navigation simply is not useable in most cases. Limited features, for example it does not show speed limit. No way to upgrade or enhance. Slow to work. Complicated user interface with many steps. Nav directions interfere with phone calls with voice over. No touch screen except for radio. Typing is terrible without touchscreen and regular keyboard. Often give totally wrong directions. Or you cant input the address or gives choice no even close. Worst such system Ive ever encountered. Technology not on par with Ford or many others. Dealer even stated system is weak but the 2016 is better? No recalls or upgrades to make it work are available. Waisted money buying something that does not work. Rest of car is mostly fine with only minor design issues. Miss having a manual mode on auto, was told Sport mode controls shifting buy actually does not. Got V6 because I dont like how CVT transmissions work. Pretty good mileage, get over sticker mpg most of the time.

  Rough Rider - 2015 Honda Accord
  By George Guarini - September 16 - 2:51 pm

  This is an addition to an earlier review. Bought this 2015 LX in August. I had a 1994,1998 and a 2003 LX and they all rode better then the 2015. You feel every bump in the rode and you feel like a cork bobbing in the ocean. I later found out that Honda replaced their famous wishbone suspension with McPherson Struts(Cheaper) which maybe contributed to the very firm and rough ride. Also the front driver and passenger seats are very uncomfortable, we are using seat pads to give us some comfort but seat backs are hard ( will have to find something to put there to help my back) Rode or tire noise excessive(Thought windows were opened) overall very disappointed in this car, Loved my 94 98 and 03 and based my purchase on the 2015 on those 3 cars. I have no idea how Consumer reports rates this car so high. I will be looking at a Ford Fusion or Toyota Camry soon. Oh by the way mileage is good.

  Bumpy, rough ride - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Unhappy Owner - August 4 - 10:21 pm

  I have driven Accords/Acura TL since 1985. I like many things about this car, but I regret the purchase and will trade it in after a few years. Positives are power, little engine noise, and technology. I especially like the right sided camera. The downer is the terrible bumpy, rough ride. The slightest irregularities in the road are transmitted (? magnified) to the driver and passenger in a very unpleasant manner. This is not "good road feel". The car came with Goodyear tires, 17 inch wheels. The bumpy ride gives me the sensation that the tires are overinflated (they are not) or that the suspension is faulty). This is a fatal flaw for me in an otherwise excellent car. I cannot give the car 4 stars overall or for value when I do not like it and regret the purchase. My other Honda/Acura cars have been great, and I am not going to recommend another car. I just hope they fix this problem quickly.

  honda seats still suck after all these years - 2015 Honda Accord
  By jay - August 2 - 12:17 pm

  Owner 07/13&15 models exl leather. Great cars except for one major issue THE SEATS SUCK. How can honda consistently screw up such a basic feature ? Who the hell cares if the seats last two thousand years if you cant sit in the damn things for five miles without back ache ? I am amazed that with THOUSANDS of complaints online every year they do the same stupid thing year in and year out.....

  Lumbar Back Pain - 2015 Honda Accord
  By I.Martin. - July 28 - 12:00 am

  I just got the car a few months ago. I drive local and just to a trip from NY to CT. Nothing but pain on my lower back. My sciatic nerve down my right leg bothering me everyday since I got the car. 10 being the worst. The seats are poorly made. I cant wait to my lease is up. Im looking to purchase a seat cushion and go to physical therapy. Im really disappointed. I had a 95 Accord and I loved it. Honda makes great products. But the Comfort is a Zero! Dont buy if you looking for comfort. Also dont go by my review only. Google 2015 Honda Accord seat complaints. Honda needs to correct this problem or they will lose customers.

  Accord is so conservative - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Dieter Rosabal - July 22 - 3:57 pm

  The Accord is a great car, very spacious for a family that does not want an SUV, the sport model is a great buy it brings you 18" wheels and a rear spoiler, along with leather steering wheel and door panels, but no leather seats. I purchase the EX-L V6 because I like the 3.5L and first time ever an Accord was fitted with a 6-speed automatic transmission, plus the leather seats, the forward collision warning and the lane watch camera is the best tech in the car. Although, I must say the Accord V6 lacks features like HID headlights, Paddle Shifters, bigger wheels and a branded audio system "Nissan carry BOSE audio systems". I must say the car is great, the leather seats are very comfortable, power assisted steering is smooth, cabin is quiet in the highway, the MICHELIN tires are like driving over the clouds.

  Moonroof! - 2015 Honda Accord
  By Dean smith - July 22 - 12:30 am

  Got the EX for my first moonroof. I traded my 2000 manual accord LX for the 2015 EX. My old car was a much smoother ride. The new AC struggles. I hope that improves once the windows are tinted. A car-stereo expert friend installed a great system in my old car, so Im spoiled, but the speakers in this new car sound weak. Theres a kind if matte finish on the interior hard surfaces thats easy to scuff. The back seat belts choke you--but thats the same as the old car. I dont think Im getting the mileage touted. But the acceleration is excellent. Im enjoying the computer bells and whistles (Bluetooth audiobooks streaming from my phone. Yay!) The trunk is enormous. The dash is easy to read (my husband has a 2013 Fit and the dials are really hard to read in daylight, I didnt want that model). I love love love the backup camera. Backing up is less dangerous! Im liking the keyless ness, though its taking some getting used to. My 2000 was a sweeter ride, but it was beginning to get repair pricey. I think it was a better-made car, though. Im enjoying my spanking new car, who wouldnt? (moonroof!) But Im thinking maybe I should have rented a new car to satisfy my jones and kept the 2000 Accord another three years.
