  Accord for life - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Hilroy Samuels - May 4 - 6:05 am

  My 5th Accord but my first touring love the features. I love the V6 power. Average up to 26 miles per gallon highway. I do 80 miles a day round trip. Two dislikes are the apple car play is a little strange and the brake assist malfunctions when it is cover from round splash or snow cover. What I really like is the self steering feature it is so good when have my morning coffee it just steers itself.

  Awesome sport sedan - 2017 Honda Accord
  By pmalt - March 30 - 6:35 pm

  I have only had the car about a month but i love the style and comfort. This sports sedan is really responsive when not in ECO mode and you shift into sport mode just fun to drive. Very roomy and comfortable inside. Rear camera and lane camera are very good and a must have. Fuel economy are decent for a 6 cyl and when using ECO mode you can get about 4 more mile per gallon.

  After 20 years of being a Honda Accord owner, I didnt need to shop around. I just looked for the best deal on my new Honda Accord.

  Performance, Style and Reliability - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Andrew Cummings - March 3 - 3:19 pm

  I was looking to strike a balance between price, performance, reliability, and style. I was considering higher end vehicles... like the Acura TLX. The Honda Accord V6 Touring gives me what I want in a daily driver... at about 10k less. I had an 06 Accord V6 before this... and had such a great ownership experience, it was a no-brainer to get another one. If I had any ability to influence any of the cars design/features... it would be to encourage them to take another round of refinement at the infotainment system. Its pretty good, to be fair, but as a software engineer... its really evident that they CPU theyre using is too slow. If you want to just quickly check your milage while the car is off... it takes about 30 seconds to a minute. The boot time... is inexcusably slow. The Apple CarPlay is wonderful... And... it could use another round of refinement, in terms of integration. I see this is a Honda issue, not an Apple issue. It makes me wish that Apple had written the software for the whole infotainment system. All of this said... this is a fantastic car... Ive only driven it 1200 miles... so its still brand new for me... but Im already clear that I made a great choice.

  Honda - 2017 Honda Accord
  By MOLLYE Hearn - February 3 - 6:33 am

  Ive driven Honda cars since 1987 last one purchased was in 2000 always reliable had the EXL and manual. The radio and road noise were both terrible but since it worked and was paid for kept driving it until 2017. Of course the first cars I looked at were Honda Accord and CRV. Both drove ok.it was just the quality didnt seem to be there even leather didnt look as good as in the old days. Tried to locate a civic hatchback to drive but none were available where I was shopping. CRV compared to Nissan Rogue seemed so light weight I backed off of it. One Honda dealership we drove over to it talked with the internet sales trying to get a price. He didnt get back with us until several weeks later after we had already purchased another car. Still didnt have a price only asked if we were interested. To me Honda has cheapened up the looks and feel some much after thirt years I had to choose another brand

  The little car that cant - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Mike Moody - December 9 - 12:22 pm

  This car will not deliver anywhere near the 34 mpg EPA rating. The engine revs are too high at highway speeds. The engine is turning 2300 rpms at 75 mph. My 2013 Acura TL with a V-6 and EPA rating of 28 mpg consistently got 20 to 29 mpg on the exact same trips I currently drive and the engine only turned 2000 rpms. Honda refuses to admit a problem or help. Additionally the acceleration feature on the cruise control does not function as it did on previous models. Now, when the cruise control is engaged and the + button is held down the car will NOT downshift and quickly accelerate to a higher speed. This feature is so sluggish to respond it has been rendered useless by the Honda engineers. Dont take my word, test drive one for yourself; then believe me, you wont get the fuel mileage that is advertised. I wonder if Honda is trying to do what Volkswagen did by cheating the EPA mileage tests with a different setup in the test cars. In any event, after 10 Honda/Acura cars since 2005 this is my last!

  Nice car, but... - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Jim Kay - October 22 - 5:13 pm

  Reading another Edmunds reviewer comments about their Accord wandering on the highway I have to agree, my Accord does the same thing when reaching speeds of 50 MPH or more. Should have taken on the highway during the test drive but this dealer was surrounded by roads with traffic and residential streets. I did get a great deal so I went for it. With that being said things I like - looks, comfort, CVT is really cool, dual temp controls as well as heated seats will come in handy when driving with my wife, auto head & tail lights setting so they come on when dark, fog lights included, dash and instrument panel looks great, lots of interior room. Im 62" and can sit comfortably with lots of head room and people can sit behind me with plenty of leg room. Back up camera helpful, bluetooth works fine, and for about $800 more you get the red thread stitched black leather seats with front buckets heated, worth it. Trunk is huge for a mid size. Car drives around town great. Dont likes - car wanders with speeds over 50 MPH. Wheel alignment checked and is fine. (?) So make sure you test on a highway before you commit. Radio sound Is just OK. Cup holders have retractable, square, kinda chinsy plastic pegs designed to firmly hold different width cups in place but rattled when I placed a paper coffee cup in it. Floor mats are kinda thin.

  Love my new Accord - 2017 Honda Accord
  By TimO - September 13 - 7:56 am

  I recently purchased this car and have driven it for about 3 weeks. The V6 has a ton of power when needed but gas mileage could be better. The drive is very smooth with minimal road noise. The engine sounds great with a nice purr and the V6 is rarely challenged with shifting or acceleration. The leather seating is very soft and comfortable, I hope it holds up over time. Most of the dash is covered in a leather like material but more importantly I can lay my phone down on the dash without worry that it will fly off while turning or hard breaking. When I made my purchase, I was shopping for Lexus, Acura, Hyundai, and Camry. I chose the Honda based on value and quality over the other vehicles. Ive driven Hyundai Sonatas for over 10 years and have been very pleased with the brand. My wife has owned 2 Hondas and both have held the resale value extremely well, something I cannot say for the Hyundai. The car is not perfect and here is my take on some of the technology. The entertainment boot time is way to slow. Not sure why the skimped on the processor but it seems to take over a minute to boot on start up. Even booting up to the FM station takes a long time and there is noticeable lag when switching radio stations. The Bluetooth connection has been flawless with my iPhone and works very quickly. I’ve taken several calls in the car on BT and all the conversations have been clear. Apple car play is a nice feature but the phone needs to be plugged in. It would be a nice alternative to adding the navigation depending on how much you need that feature. I have the built in nav and have tried both. The Apple carplay nav cannot use the sound system will navigating, it can play off iTunes or Apple Apps while navigating but you won’t be able to listen to the radio while using Apple maps, or at least I can’t figure how to do so. My favorite features of the car include the keyless entry, push button start, remote start, back up camera, and adaptive cruise control. The lane watch is okay not really a major improvement over turning your head or using your driving awareness and senses. The camera will blur up when it rains, same for back up camera. Adaptive cruise control is excellent and very easy to use. The lane keeping assistant and breaking warning are great additions for safety and I am glad to have them. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase. It’s a Honda, it’s well built, it will last a while, and it will re-sale well. You really can’t go wrong with this car.
