The 2023 Honda Accord (Starting @ 27,295 USD & 37,000 CAD) is the 11th generation of the best selling sedan in America. It's longer, it’s sleeker, and it sips even less fuel.

Still driving my 1990 Accord EX-R. The best car I've ever owned! I'm the original owner too! I've had it for 33 years this April. 👍

I think I figured it out. The one reason people would traditionally picked the Accord over the Camry was because of its more exciting drivetrain options and driving dynamics. Now the Accord is neutered and there's far less reasons to pick this over a Camry. There's also less reasons to pick it over a Civic.

Anyone who has owned or driven a 2.0 10 speed 10th gen accord knows what a gem it really was. The aftermarket support for it was amazing. It gave you a lot of luxury for the money, and was such a good car for someone maturing in age where a civic is a little too much of a younger person car. It was an alternative to the German sedans without giving up so much performance and gaining Honda reliability. What a shame Honda killed it for this boat

Think I'm gonna pick up one of these down the line, really dig the subdued styling, inside and out. it's simple, and doesn't need to be anything else. don't know why but I really appreciate that.

When I used to work for Honda, I had the pleasure of owning a 2020 Accord 2.0T for a couple years and that's probably one of the best cars I've driven. Maximum comfort working on harmony with amazing performance made it such a fun car. That 2.0T with the 10 speed auto was amazing!

My dad has a 2013 Accord EXL. Bought it CPO in 2016 for only $17, 000 with 40k miles on it. Today it has 110, 000 miles and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Drove it recently and was blown away by how sharp the steering is still after 10 years and all those miles. That’s the brilliant thing with the accord - yes it’s reliable and yes it’s practical, and yes it gets little respect - but damn does it steer well.

This had to be such a hard video to write. As a car that is doing its best to be as inconspicuous as possible, while also being ubiquitous on North American roads, finding an angle to talk about had to be a real struggle. Compelling content as always, though. Here's hoping that Honda gives this thing some verve with a new variant in a few years' time.

still on a fully packaged '07 accord that's been in the family since buying it that year, i have zero complaints years later and the bass still hits too 😂

[boatlover]

Going to be a big decision to trade in my 2019 Touring anytime soon. The 2.0 10 speed is amazing IMO.

I follow this channel for the sports car reviews. But I even have a good time watching you guys review the boring family cars like this one. Just a great channel.

The accord always had that sleeper element. Gone are the good old days. I will be holding onto my 10th gen as long as it's alive.

[killeregg]

My tuned 2.0t accord was one of my all-around favorite cars that I owned. Very sad to see it gone. Great review, as always.

[crazed]

After three months of driving this car. it's definitely much comfortable to drive than the 10th gen. from steering, quietness, suspension to the interior. it has a smaller tank but it has a range of 600mi. I love it

[garrettgaring]

I don't understand why people are downing this new Accord. I personally think it's the best one yet! The ride is amazing, the interior is truly upscale, the tech is great, it's very comfortable and roomy, and the hybrid powertrain is absolutely flawless! I recently bought a 2024 Accord Touring and loving every minute of owning it! I have owned several different vehicles already in my lifetime and this one has by far been the best one all around. Go test drive one for yourself.

It reminds me of what happened to the Acura TSX. The first gen was great, had true VTEC on the intake AND exhaust, aluminium manifolds, double wishbone suspension, all the works that made it an enthusiast sedan. They gutted the 2nd gen TSX, made it heavier, made the gear ratios longer, cheaped out on plastic manifolds, took away true VTEC, and made it drive like a boat.

[jorgemercado]

Seems like car reviewers have such respect for the Accord that they can't make themselves speak negatively about it even if they're disappointed.

[MrMarahon]

I love seeing you guys review normal everyday cars! I bought a 22 WRX after seeing your review, I’m sure someone else who was on the fence about the Accord will probably give it a shot based on this too!

[johnh]

2022 Sport 2.0T owner here. The more I see this new Accord the more I dislike it. Cost cutting galore - no more fog lamps, 4 way lumbar, adjustable rear headrests…even the spare tire is gone. And of course, dumping the 2.0T and 10 speed auto is a huge disappointment. They should have renamed it the Taurus.

[stefantorozov]

I have worked for Honda as well like many others from the comment section but in Europe. I have tried the 10th gen Accord as well in the 2.0t with auto box trim and it was a great all round car with a very decent punch and good auto gearbox(not like the other Honda autos or CVTs- reason being it was ZF transmission), and in some ways it felt German(good way) but it wasn't in any means a drivers or sport car. For me the only real drivers Accord with a hidden tunning potential was the Accord Cl9/Acura TSX(2004-2008). That car had a great chassis, great engine and so much potential, that is why it was even used as a base for a race car by Spoon.

"It's an Accord" USED to mean that you could stomp your foot and surprise a lot of cars, both from a dig and especially from a roll. The big V6 of yesteryears was always a fantastic engine option and swapping to the 2.0L gave us similar performance with better economy. It was a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing (as a family sedan, at least) and now, it's just a good car. That's fine for a lot of people but if reliability isn't your big concern (ie, you'll trade it in when the warranty is out), I'd probably take an Elantra N every time (and this is from the guy that's only had Hondas as family vehicles for most of his life)... Honda just lost most of the enthusiasts that need a big family sedan, I'm pretty sure. We don't have canyon roads on the way to work but we do have lots of straights and the bigger motor always gave us some grins. Now, we can listen to talk radio and marvel that it's quieter than before, mainly because we don't care to use the engine for anything other than basic motive power rather than fun.
