  Unsure if Ill go Honda Again? - 2017 Honda Accord
  By BarbieinConn - February 4 - 2:49 am

  Im a huge Honda fan, having owned several over the years. I could hardly wait until the 2017 Accord was released. How disappointed! My turn signals are out of sync: I turn the right on and the left stays on for 4 secs. The AM station plays FM and vice versa. On cold days, the radio wont come on until I turn the car off and restart once the engine gets warm. I live in CT so it can take a while. Now the wont start at alI and I hold my breath. I detest the start button in lieu of a key....horrible. Ive never been able to warm the car up on cold days either. It starts but its ice cold, although I keep everything blasting the night before. Also, I spend half my ride adjustingri the temp controls, as its never comfortable. Sorry, Honda:(

  better cars for the buck - 2017 Honda Accord
  By cruz michael - June 30 - 8:17 pm

  Looks like a lot of bells and whistles, but they are not that impressive.Everyone knows they have great reliability, but besides that nothing is really impressive of about this car. I will only say what I dont like about this car. Exterior- Rear trunk is flimsy. Honeycomb front grill is difficult to clean and keep clean.Sunroof is too small. Headlights on low beam do not shine far enough. Interior is worse! The leather they use seems more like vinyl, not good quality. The sound system is abysmal. The back up camera and side view camera are very pixlelated. All the fancy things the dash screen can do , can only be done while in park. There is no gauge on the tires for individual tire pressure , only a dummy light. You cant dim the dash screen lights only turn them off( too bright). The apple car play/ Android feature only works if your phone is plugged into the usb port. It will not work with blue tooth. Now I do like the memory seat feature and the cool led light that shines down on the center console. Over all this care for this price shoud be better. This is a 2017 model but no choice in options to list it, but it has very little if any changes from 2016.

  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!

  Not like the old days! - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Katherine - July 1 - 8:36 pm

  I have a 2001 Honda Accord V6. Love it. So I bought a 2017 Accord V6. Pick-up is not as good; seems to have more play in the steering (I might need to get more used to it); steering wheel is uncomfortable: hard, not comfortable positioning for hands for some weird reason; BLACK dashboard! WHY??? When that sun hits it, the heat jumps back in your face! The radio/sound system is not nearly as good as 15 years ago. I am disappointed and doubt I will keep this car 15 years. If I could get all my money back, I would. Glad I still have the 2001!

  New, Stylish & Economical - 2017 Honda Accord
  By jAccord101 - February 25 - 10:26 pm

  Driving aides can be a bit intrusive and sensitive. Car came to a complete stop on several occasion for approaching objects on the road that are 1" high (i.e. entrance access barriers, metal road construction covers). Both screens have some duplicate information which sometimes makes the other obsolete. Adaptive Cruise Control will sometimes apply the brakes pretty aggressive as you approach a car versus gradually decrease the speed. Interior is very comfortable, good interior storage, quiet ride, however, the rear speaker deck has a tendency to rattle as you increase the bass. Gas mileage is pretty standard for the class. Price is really good. The depreciation is horrible! A little over a 30% percent decrease.

  Good car but Honda can do better - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Car Lover 1979 - March 9 - 5:30 pm

  its a good car but not a great car. Theres a lot of nice technological features. The car rides smooth. Its nice looking. Couple issues though. First, the cvt transmission isnt great In city driving. Jerks at low speeds. Car doesnt want to stop easy as theres no downshift. Infotainment is slow responding. Wheels look nice but they stick out from the tire making it easy to get curb rash. Mileage in the city is not good.

  new lights old car - 2017 Honda Accord
  By jhid123 - November 1 - 5:55 am

  I think it is time for real redesign, 2017 Accord is in reality 2013 Accord with poor quality materials that Honda started using two years ago. They just replaced front and rear lights, added some chrome details and call it newly redesigned... In general the car is OK, all the options are the same, as other cars in this price range, if you did not have Honda before you would not notice the difference. Back in 2015 Honda changed seats and its material, so in 2017 it is the same uncomfortable seats, they dont care about multiple complains, all over the internet, about driver seat comfort. 2017 got one more issue comparing to previous years: phone link is horrible. You can change phone setting hundred of times but it will not copy your address book. It displays message and claiming that it is been copied, but nothing is happening in reality. The same problem with text messages, your car will not react to text (no notification) and will not read them as previous one use to do. Honda is claiming new sporty look, but downgraded tires to Firestone Affinity (they use to install them on cheaper Civic). How can you have "nice ride" with such a horrible tires. One good think about those tires is fuel efficiency, but road handling is below average. Every day I see a lot of people driving Accord around me, so I assume the price is right for such a quality.

  Whats with the tire noise? AVOID HONDA Sport SE - 2017 Honda Accord
  By PRCOTTAGEFORSALE - October 21 - 9:19 am

  The tires are designed to rub against a brake pad protector of some sort, which produces a loud noise that is very annoying. Honda now says it was designed into the car, after I brought the car in for repair 5 times. I think Honda is full of it and not standing behind its cars. Who designs a car to have $1,000 tires rub? How do you say that with a straight face? STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR AND SO FAR HONDA is LEAVING MYSELF AND DEALERSHIP OUT TO DRY. I am not only appalled at the way Honda is handling this but insulted by the fact that we are suppose to read fine print in the specs now to avoid this from happening to you! THE TIRES ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THIS CAR, THEY ARE SIMPLY TOO BIG FOR THE FRONT END. ADMOIT IT HONDA, YOU PIT 19 INCH TIRES ON A FRINT END THAT CAN ONLY HANDLE 17 INCH WHEELS.

  Wind Noise on the Highway: - 2017 Honda Accord
  By Parvez - April 14 - 6:14 pm

  I just bought my 2017 Accord Sport SE last week as I love the design of this car. But quickly found out that Cabin of the car is too noisy on the highway, as we have to drive more than 100 miles on the highway to get back home. You hear the wind noise much more then normal, especially if you are sitting on the back seat, but even you hear the wind noise on the front seats. I complaint bout the wind noise and took my car back to the dealership and they try to adjust the doors but that didnt make any big difference. I am wondering if anyone else has also experienced the wind noise on the highway? It could be annoying if you are driving long distance and continuously has to listen to the noise. I would like to add one more thing which could add lot of comfort to the passengers sitting on the back seat to have a AC went in front of the back seat.
