The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah."

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, you'll see! Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

10 y/o me : i want a Lamborghini.

20 y/o me : i want Accord.

I was super against the styling originally...but it's really growing on me.

Honda awoke from their deep slumber with some really good cars. Civic and Civic Type R are wins. This new Accord kills the competition with performance and interior quality. The exterior design is the only area it isnt a runaway victory, but apart from the Mazda 6 everybody else is pretty stale. And with that fastback profile, the aftermarket is going to transform this car into a stunner. Welcome back Honda. Glad you could join us!!

So I just came here to say thanks for making this video, because it was instrumental in my decision to test drive one.

Last year I picked up a 2.0T Touring, and it's the first car I've owned where I enjoy driving it all the time. There's really not much this car can't do well. It's a comfortable long distance cruiser, and yet it carves up mountain roads with ease. There are sportier cars, and there are more luxurious cars, but at this price point I don't think there are any other options that combine the perfect amount of both in one package. I think Honda struck a nearly perfect balance.

I test drove a 2.0T EX -L today. It is pure Honda Magic. The engine sounds great and loves to rev. The chassis is playful and very buttoned down. I love that Honda returned to a lower dashboard height that give great visibility and sportiness. I think you can't find a better sports sedan for even 10K or 15K more. I also drove the 1.5T Sport. It was nice but a little down on the power. The 2.0T is definitely the way to go.

Did I just get hypnotized into wanting... What just happened

[DoSumMe]

Timed your 0-60 and got around 5.75 seconds, so on par with the 300hp Camry V6. Impressive.

When it first came out I wasn't sold on the exterior design but it's starting to grow on me, I also appreciate the fact that you can still get it in a manual transmission, good job Honda!

This video made me buy a 2018 2.0T Touring and I love it

[winchestermodel]

I just bought a 2018 2.0t EX-L a couple of months ago and I love driving it. When I’m not driving it I’m thinking about driving it. It’s just an all around excellent car. Fast, economical, fun, comfortable, sexy, roomy. I know of no other car at this price point that does so many things so well. The damn thing gets 37 mpg on the interstate running 77 mph. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds! Who says you can’t have power AND fuel economy?

[chriscapaccio]

There needs to be an Accord Type-R. Seriously. The chassis can probably handle more power and *maybe* AWD.

I LOVE my '21 Accord Touring 2.0T! It is so good on so many levels. I look forward to driving mine every single day. It's almost as if the more I drive it, the more I love it.

I know this video is older. But your video is part of what prompted me to give Honda another go. I love Hondas. But Honda lost it’s way somewhere. I have owned quite a few Hondas. But the new Civic, and especially this new Accord, is what brought me back to Honda. This is the Honda I fell in love with. From my first car, a 1st generation Prelude, and the next Prelude, to the CRX’s I’ve had, plus many more, to my 2018 Accord 2.0 Touring. I’m a Honda man! Thank you Chris. Like you said, Honda is back!

2:06: Why I keep telling people, this car is highly underrated in the market, and sadly not a lot of performance enthusiasts have an awareness. This kind of performance for an Accord is extraordinary.

[Loyal_Honda_Fan]

Omg this car is so BADASS! 😍
Whoever buy it will be damn happy with it, its incredible! 🤗🇯🇵

[johnfrantz]

Well this car makes Acura pretty much pointless

[s.s]

This is best car reviwer on youtube. straight to point. This is the only reviewer who doesn't sounds fake. He seems honest unlike other reviewers who take money from car manufacturers and provide them good reviews

[tuananhha]

I love this new accordddd !!! 😩😩 you gotta see it in person to appreciate it. The new Camry is nice though I prefer the sleek design of this one. It is simple and classic to look at. It is sexy.

[Bassmon]

I bought the 2019 Sport 2.0 and it's amazing. That 10 speed automatic is very strong.
