Looking for a used Honda Accord but not sure which one to pick? We break down the past decade of Accords to help you make the best choice.

I'll take the 8th gen. Turbo charged engines and cvt's in the newer models won't be as reliable.

[stevesmith]

My 8th Gen 2.4 4 cyl 350k mi and still going strong. Not going to say that about Turbos and CVTs

[alhassanzayyanu]

To be honest I don't like the 10th generation
The 9th Gen has a way better design.

I own an 8th gen EX V6 with just under 36k miles. I’ve upgraded headlights and taillights for a more modern look and added a widescreen CarPlay head unit (relocating the oem screen). NOBODY believes it’s a 2008 model year

I still have my 8th gen with 220k miles on it. I driveit all over the country. The interior is dated andthe interior is slightly noisy but the big buttons are very practical and do not steal your focus. If you want one bad enoughyou can add a touch screen stereo. Also dude is correct that it is slow but it gets over 30 mpg on the highways. You will not win a race.

I have a '21 Accord Touring 2.0T that is amazing! You get so much car for the money and it is tons of fun to drive.

[alhassanzayyanu]

The 8th gen is not a mess honestly, just dated a bit.

Very informative 👍🏾 but honestly the 8th Generation is the best one.

[SmarchitectMann]

It's weird that I think the 8th generation looks sportier and better than the 8th generation.

[mattduin]

I have the 9th gen v6 and its not sluggish at all. It has heaps of power and fantastic acceleration

[frankmontez]

I don’t even know what Apple car play or any of that infotainment stuff is. I just use the radio. That’s good enough for me lol . Backup camera is useful. The safety features are pretty good I think . Yes lane departure and sensors to keep you safe .

I will buy six 9th generation Honda accords and six 10th generation Honda Accords, and I think I will be set for life!!

My little Accord Gen 7 2.4 has leather, power drivers seat, most of the controls I want on the steering wheel. With an Android head unit, it's got a backup cam now too.. Very sporty little car, very light little car, it goes around corners effortlessly, perfect balance front to back, and gets fantastic mileage. I bought it 20 years ago to replace my Lexus LS400 v8, and like much better how the Honda drives. Still love the Honda 20 years later, still drives like the day I purchased it; I don't see a reason to get rid of it.

[brandonbarnes]

I love my 2014 EXL… roomy and great smooth drive sleek as well

[ronhoover]

I'll take one of each gen, please. At first I didn't like the 10th gen, but it's grown on me. Not the first time that's happened to me with Honda. Honda has a way of making you eventually fall in love with their cars even if you don't like the looks initially.

Back in December 2021 I got a 2013 EXL four-cylinder with only 40000 miles, and I do not regret that purchase!! Hopefully my 2013 will hold up in the years to come!!

[frankmontez]

How reliable are the 9th generation? I’m looking at a 14 EXL 120 K miles .

[jwynn]

Were some of the b-roll shots taken in Palos verdes?

[phhu]

Which generation is the most reliable? Thanks
