2016 Honda Accord | CarGurus Test Drive Review

Honda bestows a number of improvements upon the 2016 Accord, making the popular family sedan better in several ways.

Buying a 2016 Honda Accord is a good hedge against unanticipated expenses.

Honda bestows a number of improvements upon the 2016 Accord, making the popular family sedan better in several ways. Unfortunately, numerous flaws remain, small oversights that, collectively, produce a steady, underlying thrum of aggravation with the car. In most respects, however, the Accord is a terrific automobile.

I love this review. Not because it may or may not be harsh but because the issues addressed are real every day driver issues. Who's going to look for a trunk handle on a test drive? Who's going to bother with a passenger seat height adjustment? This is what video reviews are meant for. Great job!

[chente]

he wants a handle for the trunk. wow. I'm surprised he didn't say he wanted a sink so he can wash his hands to

I have the 2016 Accord Touring and I love it. The only thing I find not too useful is the driver's side wide angle vertical mirror strip on the outer edge of the mirror. A circular fish eye mirror is much more useful for checking the blind spot.

This is one of the first guys who you could tell spent some time with this car. I like the Accord, and he gave me reason not to go with the larger wheels and tires that I didn’t think of, besides being popular with thieves!

Criticism at 4:41 is just stupid. You really have a problem closing the trunk by actually touching the trunk? My god.... talk about nitpicky bs.

[cmcmanu]

I've never heard anyone complain about Lane watch

[MikesCarInfo]

As the thumbnail suggests... the video is mainly about a man named Chris and we rarely see the car without him in the way.

[derickj]

Dude, you really give some of the most interesting detailed reviews.

The pros and cons everyone pointed out are valid IMO. I've been driving Hondas ever since we bought our first one in 1994. It has never been a comfortable ride as compares to Toyota Camry or as plush as the Camry but the one thing I do know is that Honda is overall more reliable. Honda handles better and make more efficient engines. I've had friends who have had Toyotas and because of the more plush interiors in the Toyotas, they costs more. I've always said-Honda man needs to get together with Toyota woman one night in a hotel and have a few cocktails. 9mos later, BOOM! The perfect car. I would call it Hoyota or Camda...I would be waiting in line to get one.

Excellent review! Wasn't just 9 minutes of reciting things you can read on the sticker. Nice opinions and insights for folks who are actually considering buying the car like me

Good review with good details. I've test driven 2016 Honda Accord V6 Touring last month and loved the power and comfort of that car; I've owned Accord for years. Then I wanted to check out what all the buzz is about regarding Subaru. I went to a nearby Subaru dealership about three weeks ago and tried 2016 Legacy. Oh boy, the minute you sit in that car and start moving you realize this is a different Japanese car. It feels like a German car made by Japanese. I've done extensive research about Legacy and purchased 3.6R Limited Legacy and love it. I think people should consider Subaru and think out of the Camry and Honda box. I still think Accord is a great car but you can't beat AWD, reliability, comfort and solidity of Subaru Legacy.

[mintico]

all in all, i think honda deliberately made some flaw for this 2016 honda accord because they don't want to make the car that perfect. don't forget they still have acura line up. if the accord is already so damn perfect such as come with height adjustment for passenger and ventilated seats etc, then nobody will want to buy acura.

Very Good Review! Touching on points that are almost never brought up with other reviewers

[valjune]

My 2016 Honda Accord Coupe Touring V6 has an inside grab handle to close trunk without touching outside 🙂 I love my V6 Coupe! ❤️

[ErwinSchrodinger]

I purchased a V6 Honda Accord Coupe with a 6-speed manual approximately 5 months ago. On the highway I'm getting 32 m.p.g traveling 70 m.p.h. Combined driving, I'm attaining 27.5-28 m.p.g., consistently. Of course, this is driving conservatively, but hey, why do I want to get a ticket.

[manuelalejandrojimenezgome]

Excellent review. Thanks for taking the time doing it.

[marcopolo-xjyw]

Finally...- a reviewer who actually critiques the car a bit. Very good points to consider. Thanks.

[TruthHasSpoken]

Nice job Chris. I love hearing your criticisms. I dislike reviews that give all glowing reviews on a car. As you say, no car is perfect. I would also add that the Accord's headroom is not that great for taller folks.

[brianfarnsworth]

well done.... I appreciate you mentioning the imperfections

[stevewise]

Solid review! It's incredible Honda doesn't listen to customers. The small details on Honda and Acura are real issues and they're not listening. I tested the 2017 Accord and noticed the same issues you'd highlighted.
