I bought my 2013 Honda accord sport metallic gray about a month ago and I absolutely love it. Its quick and amazing on gas. I am so happy I purchased the vehicle over a Nissan altima or a camy se

Just bought it in Red. LOVE IT!

The car has great build quality. Such a comforting drive with the CVT

[ldawson]

I would buy this car if I didn't see many of them on the road. I'm glad to hear Honda is getting it together they had me a little worried for a while.

Just clarification, the 'Sport' trim adds leather wrapped steering wheel, chrome tipped exhaust, deck lid spoiler, 4 more horsepower, etc, not ONLY the wheels.

[kevinbreese]

The sport adds more then just 18" wheels. You seriously didn't notice the dual exhaust and rear spoiler?  Also 5 more HP, leather wrapped steering wheel, fog lights and paddle shifters. It also adds 10-way power drivers seat...not exactly a "sporty" feature but an added feature nonetheless.

Great review. Please do a 2014 Mazda6 review in the future. I am very much interested to see how the new Mazda6 stacks up to the new Accord.

I didn't notice any jerkiness during slow speed acceleration. Thanks for watching and the question.

I agree, the sport that they are referring to (Honda) is it's just sporty looking with 18" wheels, tail fin and suspension and dual exhaust. Other than that it is the same accord minus the upgraded features. For me the look is more important than the upgraded features that I could live without. I just with Honda gave more options when ordering a base model.

I bought a sport.its really good. No heated seats, but it has the reverse cam with gridles

[femaledeer]

I think you said the accord doesn't have a double wish bone rear anymore. Does that mean it doesn't have an independent rear suspension? Would have liked to see a camera shot underneath the car to see it.

Great review, question though. I was about to buy this car then looked at consumer reviews and there was a whole thread on the CVT jerking noticeably while accelerating slowly in the 5-40 mph range. Did you notice any of this? Thanks in advance.

How's the cvt holding up? Has Honda improved on its cvt?

[waykuhl]

Great review. I'm glad you didn't dwell too much on all the electronic nonsense they're putting on cars these days. I think the new Accord and CRV have stopped the trend of manufacturers (including Honda) cutting corners on their redesigns to allow for more gadgetry.

The sport trims chrome is actually darker than the other trims

[jamesfromvenice]

Any plans to review the 2013 Sonata Limited etc.?

[jackienguyen]

I think heated seat come standard on sport model Canada version. Mine doesn't have heated seat either

[Just-a-guy]

Drive an Accord Sport & Accord EX back to back & you will see a difference between the two trims. The steering in the Accord Sport is "heavier", the ride is firmer. than in the EX.

I have a 2001 Toyota Solara V6 200hp. I'm not crazy about speed, but I like having enough kick in the highway. Is this Honda Accord Sport's 189hp enough? I really like this car I just wanted an opinion. I appreciate any input, Thanks in advance.

A question for the viewers. I have a LX basic model. I really feel that the brakes aren't that good--too much pressure on the brakes to get it to stop. Do others experience this? What reasonably priced alternatives are there. Thanks to all of you in advance.
