Honda Accord

"The acceleration and power on the highway is very good and can be very handy in heavy traffic. The handling is good for 4 lane travel but not so good for two lane, twisty and turny roads"

"For a four cylinder it has good acceleration and handles well."

"Acceleration and handling are great."

"V-6 has awesome acceleration--plenty of power for passing and/or maintaining speed, even while A/C is being used on hills without forced downshifts."

"The v6 is powerful"

"The road noise is awful"

"Excellent acceleration & handling."

"271 hp great for passing. Go through the corners like a skateboard!"

"Good acceleration and handling. My only problem was road noise."

"Steering wheel tightens, all types driving. Hard to turn. Acceleration fine. Honda 2009 has system software shutdown when not in use."

"Good acceleration and good handling. Received a quite few speed camera tickets from testing out the acceleration. After nine years of ownership this car still has good acceleration and handling."

"handling is pretty good but acceleration could be better. However, I do like the car overall because of low maintenance costs. Keeps going with really minimal reparis"

"V-6 has good acceleration. Handy on the highway. Very comfortable ride. Better than a new model."

"I feel that it handles very well."

"It's a V-6 (now. alas, discontinued), and has more than adequate acceleration. Handling is good for a midsize to large sedan, although turning radius leaves something to be desired."

"Fast, precise, a motorcycle on 4 wheels"

"This car handles nimbly in traffic. Quick off the mark. Accelerates smoothly. Very responsive steering. Good braking system. Downside is that car is noisy. Not well insulated for road noise. Softer tread tires help a lot but wear out in 25,000 miles. Harder treads last longer but road noise is higher."

"The handling is awesome. Acceleration and braking is very good. Made a good engine on this one.."

"Our Honda Accord handles well in all conditions. Acceleration is great with V-6 engine."

"acceleration for a four cylinder is very responsive and the suspension system provides easy and confident handling"

"The gold standard for reliability!"

"Steering is solid, yet light to the touch. Acceleration remains very peppy" and very responsive when needed - at either in-town or highway speeds. Cornering is solid; grips the road with strong stability."

"Acceleration is sluggish"

"feels heavy, doesn't have good turning radius. But nothing has declined with age"

"Acceleration is weak. Highway merges can be a problem"

"The car has had issues accelerating quickly like onto the interstate"

"A very good sound system"

"I really like the styling of the 09 accord. the lines just flow for me. it drives super. awesome gas mileage for a car this size. I never got stuck in the snow either. i just love it ."

"Once the key is turned on car comes alive, no hesitation at all. It does everything it is supposed to do, with ease."

"4 cyl has plenty of pep. The car handles very well in all road conditions."

"The handling is very precise and accurate."

"Low maintenance"

"Acceleration is more than adequate for most situations. Handling is pleasingly nimble in everyday driving. Tracks exceptionally straight even at highway speeds with minimal steering corrections required."

"This car has the power to merge safely onto highways and handling to avoid obstacles without losing control very stable. The only negative is that the road noise is loud."

"Great acceleration and agile handling"

"Good, power to speed up when necessary, have no issues"

"The premium 4 cylinder in this car is good, but you have to keep the revs up to develop power. It handles great, better than the 2014."

"I am older (67) driver and do not find need for exceptional handling features or tire spinning acceleration. Bought 4 cyl. for fuel mileage and legendary dependability (although mileage not that much better than V-6). Acceleration I feel is excellent for this car & setup."

"the combination of the V6 and the 6-speed manual is downright exciting! I haven't smiled this much driving a car in a long time."

"Great car but because of its age, does not have safety features now available."

"The acceleration from the V-6 is great. I however am dissatisfied with the ECO mode. This causes problems with oil consumption and fouls the spark plugs and then causes a check engine light error."

"On my Accord EX-L V-6 "Super Coupe" I made some changes from an already excellent car. I have modified the induction (cold air intake) and exhaust (high performance port header and cat-back exhaust system). Just doing that I have gained 60 BHP at wheels, 55 FTLB torque, much quicker acceleration, much nicer growl and still kept the same mileage or a bit better. As for handling, have added Honda's High Performance suspension system and larger roll bars greatly increasing handling ability with no loss in comfort."

"Acceleration and handling are average."

"very consistant handling,braking. accelleration is ok for a 4 cyl."

"Drives great! Still looks good!"

"A 2.4 engine is too small for the weight of this car."

"The acceleration is excellent and economy is good. As for the handling I feel comfortable with it."

"Great acceleration. MPG has been consistent but below what would be optimal at 18 MPG combined, but much better on long highway drives."

"The V6 engine has lots of power, is very responsive, and the steering is easy to handle while driving"

"steady direct driving and handling of road interruptions. Responds well to acceleration and drivability"

"All my Honda's, including this one drive like they're glued to the road. Handling is superb and ride is gutsy."

"It is slightly a firm ride almost European which makes for good handling. The V-6 has more than ample power."

"Turning is power assisted not electric. Feels like a sports car."

"beginning to lessen with age"

"6 speed manual transmission is excellent in clutch action and gearbox; very smooth and progressive"

"I feel like it does not accelerate as quikly as it should (4 cylinder)."

"Acceleration is great on the 4cyl 190 horsepower engine. Handling is very good to excellent."

"Acceleration is very good for a vehicle of it's size. considering it's a 4 cylinder Brakes are good/adequate. Handles very well."

"Although our Honda Accord continues to operate, the large number of issues associated with this car since we purchased it new, instilled a sense of concern about its ability to properly perform reliably. The praise from Consumer Reports was a primary factor in purchasing this particular car. Buying another car to replace the Accord has not been an option for us. We are forced into using this car while we save to buy our next car. Due to this experience, we will never buy a Honda again. Consumer Reports has not failed us on any other purchase, we continue to be loyal subscribers."

"The road noise is bad in the Honda, espcially as the tread on the tires wear down. That may prevent me from buying an Accord in the future."

"Fun car to drive; very reliable; still looks great nine years later; very comfortable."

"Handles well and accelerates well even though now 9 years old."

"Acceleration is slow for my four cylinder engine but handling is superb"

"It is nimble. Acceleration is more than adequate."

"Plenty of acceleration,"

"Great acceleration and handling with the V6/6SPD manual transmission combination. Really fun to drive in a sporty manner."

"engine power is great. handles well."

"The acceleration and handling are very good in the Accord. It does well in snow."

"Acceleration"

"So after almost 8 years , this car drives like the day I bought it. The interiors is still nicer than most newer cars I've seen."

"The car has good acceleration and handling for a standard sedan. It's reliable on the highway and our local rural roads in most different types of weather."

"Acceleration is Reliably consistent. It has the power "to get up and go" when needed (passing; entering freeways; etc.). Handling is stable and smooth. Just as good today (at 8 yrs old) as when it was new. Long Highway Trips are smooth and non-tiring (you don't have to "work" at it!)."

"Very responsive handling, and a lot of pep for a 4-cylinder engine."

"Extremely fast and powerful. We call it a motorcycle on 4 wheels. Ride a bit rough ... like a sports car ... but very quick and responsive. This is the 3.5L V6 Coup"

"Gas mileage is terrible for a 4 cyl."

"It has excellent acceleration and handles great on both road trips and in town short drives"

"Acceleration is more than adequate for most driving situations and the engine never seems stressed. Handling is quite decent for a large sedan."

"Handles is excellent. Acceleration is adequate."

"Fantastic ride and handling. Comfortable seats with low noise levels. V6 provides great acceleration."

"The Accord is an extremely reliable and durable car. It holds the road extremely well and handles very easily and is a very safe vehicle. Acceleration is good and consistent."

"Road noise loud on most surfaces. Good acceleration, looks in and out. The design has stood the test of time. It still looks fresh."

"Acceleration and handling are quite good. Fuel economy is not, worse than my mom's 2011 Sonata, but that is a 2 year newer car."

"It has very quick acceleration and the handling is superb. Braking is excellent."

"Very responsive. I drive 56 miles one way on interstate highway to and from work. Handles great. Great ride."

"Amazing handling and very responsive acceleration. A fun car to drive"

"Have had trouble with this car stalling at traffic stops. Fine on open road. Have had it to dealer several times but problem persists."

"Handling is very good. Acceleration is acceptable except when fully loaded with luggage and passengers when there is a noticeable decrease in acceleration and the transmission downshifts frequently to maintain speed on even slight inclines."

"Honda speaks for itself low maintenance sips fuel, handles extremely well, nice leather heated seats"

"V-6 powertrain is perfectly matched to this car. Acceleration and handling are great, especially considering the horsepower loss at this altitude of 5,800 feet. Engine is super quiet."

"Awesome! I Love the way the Accord drives and handles. We bought a Civic that I now commute with and the Accord was a much better daily driving experience."

"This little Accord is a sweat ride for a 4 Cyc sedan. I love driving it and it still has fairly good get up and go for a 4 cyc. The car handles great in the corners. Little tough in snow due to the weight of the car. I would buy again but would goes for the 6 cyc."

"Engine and acceleration was great up to about 85,000 miles then the engine warning light came on and started knocking and misfiring. I had the plugs changed and the problem appeared again just a few thousand miles later. Honda changed out four of the 6 plugs again under extended warranty and updated the computer but advised that I may need new piston rings if the problem persists. I cannot live with this kind of inconsistent performance and am getting rid of the car."

"V-6 motor handles intermountain highways with ease. Got 32 mpg from Jackson, WY to Denver yesterday at an average speed of 65-70 mph for the trip. Some stretches of I-80 in western WY have a speed limit of 80 MPH which the car handles with ease."

"Good acceleration and responsive handling."

"We have the V-6 - it accelerates well and handles well."

"Drive and acceleration excellent. Great gas mileage 34 mpg but mostly freeway. Very comfortable easy to drive vehicle. While providing larger car space and comfort, it was easy to drive and park."

"Great acceleration and lots of power. Nice firm ride. Great handling. Just too much road noise."

"The Honda Accord has very good acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine and handles very well."

"Sluggish acceleration. Handling is very good."

"Four cylinder engine a little weak but acceptable. Ride on a long trip really gets hard on an old man. Normally its just fine though. Handles very well if you don't drive like it was a race car. I have mobility issues and its a little hard to get in and out. But again its acceptable."

"Excellent acceleration"

"Shakes at highway speeds, yet tires are in good shape."

"good acceleration for a 4 cylinder...sticks well in corners"

"I buy new manual transmission cars ever 8-12 years. I have had : 2 Mazda's; 1 Toyota; and this is my second Honda. This one has the fastest acceleration(0-70 mph), the best handling, and the shortest distance stopping of the 5 cars/SUV's."

"Acceleration with Base 4-litre engine is very sluggish with air-conditioning turned on."

"The wind and road noise on this model is pronounced, much more so than a previous Accord that I owned. It also feels a bit underpowered for a car of its size."

"throttle response and handling are limited via the vehicle stability assist; when turned off it is more pleasurable to drive."

"The engine is a 4 cylinder and underpowered. It is fine living near the coast but has too little power for steep hills."

"drives well, noisy in cabin, got cylinder scuffing recall notice and now i get to drive in fear engine will die. its not the reliability of a toyota. seems to wear tires rapidly. on third set of tires at 49k, i have maintained well"

"Car holds the road better than any car I have ever driven. Interior is roomy with a big car feel. A great automobile."

"Very reliable car.. just not a fun car to drive. MpG is horrible should get 30. ITs BLAH to drive"

"Acceleration onto highways is always excellent. There have been times when I had to make a quick stop and turn quickly. The handling is terrific and always feel in control."

"A ladder in middle of 3 lanes, @ 45 mph saw very close, looked both sides and made a quick left turn and right to return to my lane and I felt in control without any squealing or sliding."

"Good clean handling. Good acceleration with clean braking."

"Road noise is extremely loud in this model. I understand Honda took care of this issue in later models, but when driving on the freeway road noise is extremely loud."

"road noise ,hard suspension"

"fantastic throttle response, people mistake its a 6 cyl., Gets off line quickly and smoothly. Tons of power for passing. Absolutely no problems. Handles much better than say a Camry. Comfortable on trips."

"this car goes exactly where you aim it and has great responsiveness in both acceleration and handling."

"(excellent) 6 speed manual transmission was available; excellent clutch"

"It is ok. I ordered it with smallest engine so it is not a slingshot! Handling is precise. The steering and suspension are well balanced."

"Acceleration on interstate driving is great. Hold on however to the steering wheel as it really needs two hands as it goesgoesgoes!"

"Problems with spark plug misfires twice requiring car to run poorly and having to be serviced both times."

"The acceleration is good (6 cylinder). The car also handles very well, like a sports sedan. Unfortunately the road noise can be excessive."

"The accord may be a family sedan but I find it very fun to drive with a tight handling system and good acceleration."

"The most stable-feeling car I've ever owned."

"The Accord Coup drives like a motorcycle on 4 wheels. Extremely fast and powerful. I remarkable car in power and performance outfitted with large V-6 engine"

"The engine and transmission are very responsive although the mileage is not as good as that of my old 1999 Accord. Handling and braking are quite good as well."

"V6 gives plenty of power for acceleration. Handling good and tight."

"Hard ride"

"Expected better gas mileage"

"Drives like a solid sports sedan. Most comparable to a 5 series BMW"

"Definitely need something with quicker pick-up."

"Acceleration could be better."

"Excellent handling and acceleration"

"I'm generally happy with the way it drives. I do have a problem of estimating where the car begins and ends when parking. When I first got the car, I had to lower the steering wheel because it blocked part of my front windshield view. I then had to lower the seat because my knees hit the wheel. As a result, I'm sitting too low making it difficult to see how the car is fitting into the parking space."

"Too much road noise."

"enjoy driving car, handling and acceleration are great. I have a heavy foot and the car's response is excellent. Gas mileage is so-so, however that is probably due to the way I drive"

"Fast acceleration. Great handling."

"The four cylinder engine is strong and accelerates easily into traffic. Braking and steering are very good"

"Excellent drive train and shifting experience. Great clutch, easy and accurate steering. 270 HP V-6 engine and close-ration 6-speed manual transmission."

"Good"

"Biggest bad: Large blind spot."

"It is a 2.4L engine that has good performance and enough power to pass when needed. Fuel economy is 23 city 31 Hwy (Great!!)"

"Like powerful combination of 6 cylinder engine and 6-speed manual transmission."

"The ride and noise level are excellent. However, the seat comfort leaves much to be desired. Not comfortable for lower back and few options for changing seating comfort level."

"Comfortable seats"

"For the price, the seating is very comfortable and the noise level is within reason"

"Road noise excessive. rides hard you feel every bump."

"Seats are great. Road and tyre noised can be irritating."

"Back seats are excellent so I'm told by my passengers. The front buckets are supportive but not altogether that comfortable. They are passable and get my approval overall. The noise from the tires I learned to put up with as they are quality Michelin and have not let me down. I replaced them with the same tire at 38,000 miles. The ride can be stiff but it is compliant for the most part and at times a little rough but on good roads it is fine. Sometimes when the road surface makes noise with the tires the radio has to be made louder to hear it properly. I wish Honda had given more thought to the layout of the little cubbies in front of the gearshift. My hands have a difficult time getting in out out of the tight spots and it is a struggle when the gear selector is in park or reverse. It makes the storage bin almost useless. Although you can fit a phone in there or a GPS, it's a struggle to do both. I've done away with my stand-alone GPS and only use my phone now but still the arrangement of this storage space could be larger and better thought out."

"Accord is a great very reliable car but sits low to the ground resulting in a very uncomfortable level of road noise especially on the interstate."

"Seat feel good ride is very comfortable handling is good BUT always hear wind leak on freeways"

"As I get older it gets harder to get out of. When in the car I am very comfortable."

"Overall the car is comfortable, but has too much road noise."

"lots of tire noise"

"Car is relatively noisy while driving"

"Very comfortable, no issues"

"Road noise is higher than I'd like, but not intolerable. I've driven many cars that were worse in this regard."

"Road noise is higher than usual but the comfort (seats, etc.) remain very comfortable."

"seats are not that comfortable and there is way too much road noise."

"Noisy"

"The front seats have an excess of lumbar support in any position, which makes them uncomfortable; particularly, on longer drives. The seats need more padding also."

"Great ride smooth on the highway. Roomy front seats"

"I am forced to use a car seat pillow in order to drive in comfort. The new car tires make the drive much noisier than with original tires."

"The seats are comfortable. However, the road noise can be a problem on roads with a rough surface."

"The car is noisier than the competition, especially on cement roads (as compared to asphalt)."

"Poor ride"

"Lots of road noise anytime pavement is less than perfectly smooth. Hard to carry on a conversation or listen to audio due to extreme NVH conditions."

"Much quieter than my previous car."

"comfortable ride and drive"

"The seats are quite comfortable, the noise from the outside is low, nothing really bad at all."

"Has maintained its comfort and sporty handling."

"The 2009 Honda Accord has a very stiff ride. The seats do not have sufficient cushioning. We use desk chair cushions to make the ride quality more acceptable. The ride is much worse in the rear seats."

"uncombustible on long drives"

"Driver's seat is starting to wear especially in the lumbar area. Road noise is loud. Rattle from rear windshield area is becoming commonplace, rather than occasional."

"It does have some road noise that i feel should have been blocked out with more insulation."

"quiet, well styled"

"The rear speakers covers are made of plastic covering plastic and now they rattle and make noise. It needs some thin piece of rubber between the two materials to absorb the vibrating noise."

"Too much road noise"

"Seats (including front) are not comfortable and ride is somewhat noisy"

"extremely supportive seats that you feel comfortable even on a long trip"

"The NVH is terrible. Hard to have a conversation in the car when on the interstate or listen to the audio system and trying to talk to a passenger"

"Road noise is terrible."

"Major problem for me is seat comfort since I had back injury (un related to auto) and I bought the Accord because it had the most comfortable seat. That being said, I wish it were higher (not just under my knees ) because that adjustment only serves to cut off circulation in my leg. Since I am 5’1‿ I would have better visibility without having to use an inflatable seat cushion."

"Only things on this car that I would have liked to be better would be: 1. Road noise - for such a good dependent vehicle the level of road noise higher than desired compared to similar Camrys. 2. Ride is closer to sport-type than comfort-type (probably gas struts - don't feel these are always necessary on light cars adding to hard ride"

"It could be a bit quieter."

"My Accord EX has an extremely comfortable power drivers seat which feels a lot like the seat in an Infiniti M35. The Accord is very quiet except for some noise from the tires and offers a good balance of comfortable ride and athletic handling"

"Noise level too high , wind and road and engine noise"

"Road noise is awful."

"I have a hard time finding a comfortable driving position. The lumbar support is too aggressive for me and hits me in the wrong place in my back. Very uncomfortable."

"BAD road noise GOOD seats,ride"

"the head rest are awkward"

"very good comfort, responsive steering and handling; a pity they discontinued the coupe model"

"The ride is very comfortable. The vehicle is still very quiet even with 200,000 + miles."

"seats are the main item. Fully adjustable, adequate legroom (I am 6'3"). lumba support."

"Ride is somewhat noisy. When AC is on, slightly hard to hear radio. Never is quiet like other cars"

"Lots os road noise. Stiff ride."

"Comfort and noise level are good. The ride is a little jittery at 30 to 40 MPH."

"Seats are uncomfortable. The car is noisy. The ride seems akay until you hit a bump in the road, then it is more like a buckboard wagon."

"Handling/ride I swerved to miss a truck tire and 8-10 ft ladder at 60 mph and returned to lane without any slipping, sliding or loss or control. Nose on roads with large aggregate is very noticeable Seats are very comfortable on long rides 400-600- miles per day."

"Drivers seat gets uncomfortable on long rides"

"Road noise can make audio listening a problem."

"Very happy about the seats - made many 10 hour drives with great comfort. The ride is fine. Noise levels are not as good. I like to listen to classical music - with a wide dynamic range - and the interior noise levels mean I'm constantly fiddling with the volume."

"Seats are a little to firm and there is more road noise than I would like."

"This is a very good distance highway car. The ride and seats are very easy on old bones."

"Road noise wind and road is too loud"

"Very comfortable driving position, great visibility and it handles Turns without leaning. Plenty of power for passing!"

"The car is very comfortable to drive on long-distance trips. Road noise levels could be lessened, though."

"Seats and ride are just fine. The interior noise of this top of the line Honda model (EX-L V-6 Navi) is terrible/unsatisfactory."

"Noise is more than I’d like at highway speeds but the ride is very nice."

"Noisy ride"

"seats are covered with cheap bonded so-called leather and started showing wear after two yrs. road noise is awful and the suspension is fair"

"seats comfortable. OK noise quietness. ride is smooth and comfortable. My wife & I each like it."

"Head tilts too much forward"

"Dealer fixed odd rattle at rear of vehicle at minimal charge when vehicle was in for recall repair (air bags - notice you've never mentioned this in the Canada Extra recall notices section of the magazine) - car rides very quietly now, a great improvement; overall, still a very comfortable, roomy car with great seat position adjustments for drivers of different heights."

"The driver seat is not comfortable for me. When I drive it for a long time, it tells me that my back shouldn’t be sitting up."

"Comfortable seats, fairly quiet and good suspension system"

"It is extremely loud in terms of road noise and just random items under the hood and around the mechanics of the car becoming squeaky. If you drive on the interstate, you will find yourself turning the volume of the radio continuously louder because the road noise is so loud you can't hear inside the vehicle."

"Extreme road noise on rough pavement"

"Style, comfort, handling, reliability."

"Seat comfort is good. I can ride all day, unlike some other cars. Ride is a good compromise between comfort and handling. Interior is a bit noisy."

"very loud inside, noise. Can't find the comfortable position at driver seat."

"I would like for this car to have less road noise penetrate into the cabin"

"Passenger seat would be better if it had power adjustment."

"Excellent electric driver's seat. Road noise should is too high."

"The car is very stable, has a nice firm ride and lots of power but it has way too much road noise. Its very noisy. Also the front driver's seat is too short for my legs and I'm not a very tall guy. Uncomfortable on a long drive. Other wise I do like the vehicle and would probably buy another one."

"2009 Honda Accord is extremely loud on the road. The seats are not comfortable. You get what you pay for."

"Comfortable little noise great gas mileage."

"seats uncomfortable, no lumbar support, ride noisy, steering too firm. Originally got this car for my wife. she couldn't drive it because steering too firm"

"The Honda is noise. Road and engine noise"

"Seats are hard. Leather Does Honda know how to make quiet car? Car eats tires...with frequent rotations and alignments"

"Very noisy - road noise, engine noise, wind noise. Seats are just not comfortable. I have to use an add-on seat to be comfortable."

"Just drove from Jackson, WY to Denver yesterday. 570 miles of pure comfort all the way. EX model has infinitely adjustable drivers seat which is great for a tall person like me. Cabin noise is a bit high in Hondas of this age."

"The ride is comfortable - seats adjustable."

"same comment as for the C-RV"

"Excessive road noise and the low profile tires transmit a lot of road imperfections into the car. Seats are supportive."

"Fairly stiff ride on bumpy roads. Good acceleration. Easy maneuverability. Can't adjust steering wheel so as to have comfortable steering wheel and clear vision of speedometer and other gauges."

"The seats are very uncomfortable. I've found that over the years it begins to rattle quite a bit in various locations."

"Road noise is too high. I've changed to quiet tire and still it's too loud. Also, the arm rest on the driver door is too far away from the driver."

"Uncomfortable seating for any trips over 30min. Can moderately be overcome with a seat cushion."

"There is a bit to much road noise at highway speeds. Wish it was quieter on the highway."

"very comortable"

"For a car in this class, I feel that it is noisy. Otherwise, the car is fine."

"short driver must sit too close to airbag in wheel in order to reach peddles"

"Driver side Ok. Passenger side uncomfortable"

"Compared to the 2014 Accord, the 2009 is a noisy and stiff ride."

"It is my wifes car. She has no desire to a new car. The 2009 Honda has everything she wants."

"Noisy, Noisy, Noisy. Have had passengers mention how much road noise this car has in side ."

"The noise level is low inside the car. The ride is soft, supple and comforting. The seats are comfortable for short rides but on long trips I find them not supportive enough. Not enough lumbar support and after two hours we have to stop and stretch - my Jeep Wrangler has more supportive seats."

"This is my wife's car. The front legroom is horrible. I am 6'2" and I don't have enough room. This is completely unacceptable for a full sized car like the 2009 Accord. I knew this when I bought it, but bought it anyway because my wife insisted on a Honda. The Civic was even worse and a terrible value that year."

"the seats are not very comfortable on long trips and the ride is jittery."

"Although not current, the seat adjustments are great. Generally a very comfortable ride, with just the usual noise levels present in these older Hondas"

"For a ar of this caliber and initial cost, I feel it is overly prone to road noise. The lumbar support in the seats are too aggressive for me and hit me in the wrong spot in my back which is uncomfortable for me. The ride, however, is excellent."

"Cannot open vents without AC on. If you do, only get hot air."

"2015 navigation system is great. siriux xm radio is great. rear view cameral is great. The accleration is a tiny bit sluggist compared to other vehicles I have driven."

"Had vinyl crack and come apart on console lid and door armrests. Needed to be replaced (but not at dealer)."

"Driver and front passenger seats poorly padded, lack good lumbar support, and the head restraints are hideous. I have spent hundreds of dollars at upholstery shops and still cannot make these seats comfortable. Shame on Honda!"

"The car is too noisy from the wind. The seats cause discomfort within an hour of starting a trip."

"The seats are not comfortable. I can feel spring-like supports because so little padding. I complained at first, but no response from Honda dealer. Bought a pad to cover uncomfortable bottom. All rental cars I have gotten have much more cushioned seats!!!'m"

"Somewhat noisy when driving. A/C has lasted in very good shape, without any repairs needed, since purchased."

"Headrests can be uncomfortable if seat is too erect"

"Road noise... it's really noisy..."

"O'all reliability good. Scheduled maintence is a little high $. Road noise is excessive. I will not buy another honda. Yes tried different tires ... No joy."

"Range of settings and over all comfort"

"Air has to be on all the time or car fogs up. A lot of road noise."

"Road noise is a little more pronounced than I like"

"Tight fit and good quality of workmanship throughout."

"Seats are too firm. Not much thigh support."

"The seats are comfortable though the drivers adjustable seat had a rough sounding/feeling performance as it was moved back and forth. This was eventually repaired at no cost. Am very dissatisfied with the level of road noise though tires other than the manufacturer supplied might address this issue."

"The seats in the LX version are a little flat and firm for my tastes. On long trips they can get a little uncomfortable for some passengers."

"Poor AM/FM radio reception, even on local stations. Vehicle has high road noise. Manufacturer mitigates this with radio auto-volume control to increase volume with speed of vehicle. Big negative toward purchase new."

"+ Comfortable ride on long trips, climate control good...pretty good power...quiet ride. - oil leaked and added oil about 1500 miles...Honda had a recall on the engine and corrected it 5 yrs later. now no oil leaks."

"The seats in my 2009 Honda Accord are not very comfortable. They are fabric and looking back on my purchase I probably should have gone with leather"

"Leather seats are okay in the winter, but are hot & sticky in the summer. Without remote start for the seats to heat up before one gets into the vehicle, they're really not all that useful. This car does not have a quiet ride at all. Not overly noisy, but I would not call it a quiet ride."

"Too much outside noise"

"Picks up a lot of road noise. Position of headrests is somewhat uncomfortable,"

"I feel that we hear too much of the road noise."

"2009 Accord EX-L V6 "Super Coupe" w/ 6 speed manual & nav: Very comfortable seats, leather wears well; like dual climate control; road / wind noise is less of a factor with sound insulation in doors and trunk for 2600 watt after market sound system. Installed Honda Factory Performance suspension upgrade and anti-roll bars creating tremendous, very neutral handling improvement for FWD car."

"lumbar support in driver's seat"

"Too much wind and road noise."

"The main reason I bought this car was that this model had the most headroom in its class. It does. I'm 6'4". It also turned out it has plenty of leg room in the front and back seats. It's very comfy to drive and my passengers have also commented on the comfort. Suspension is soft enough that it makes it a really smooth ride."

"Seats are very hard on my butt. Not very comfy Road noise is a bit loud."

"Seats are very comfortable, even on long trips. My only complaint is that road noise is louder than it should be."

"Bad: Road Noise Good: Comfortable seating"

"Noisy in general. Things in trunk bounce around even over small bumps.Headrest is not comfortable for a short person. Visibility is not optimal for a short driver."

"good power, good frontal visibility. adequate climate control, slightly on the noisy side."

"The seats are comfortable and he driving position is good. On certain roads the road noise is excessive"

"Very good driving on interstates. Noise level to high."

"Leather seats are VERY hot in summer. Ride is very stiff."

"Seats are very uncomfortable. I had to have extra padding added to them to make it tolerable."

"Front passenger seat is not powered."

"I would be happier with less road noise coming into the cabin"

"Love the Honda Accord my wife and I have both commented that the seats could be more comfortable."

"Uncomfortable seats. Noisy"

"Seats depth causing discomfort behind my legs. Can't drive it long distance"

"Driver seat is not wide enough."

"The road noise level in the Honda needs improvement. It is quite loud compared to my 1992 Acura Legend. One other issue is the lid on the center console needed replacement. Dealer did not have a viable cost replacement lid (wanted to sell a whole new center console (> $350). Went online and purchased a leather skin for $26 (color matched exactly and went to a local auto upholstery dealer who replaced the skin using existing lid (I had removed and reinstalled) for $35... I think the thin vinyl O"

"Made for small people. I'm 6'3" and there isn't enough knee room. My wife at 5'2" finds it just fine."

"The only thing I don't find comfortable are the head rests."

"The engine is a bit noisier than I would like."

"Ride is hard and noisy"

"This is my husband's care so I can not speak for him As a passenger, I find this car very uncomfortable and very noisy. I could not take a long trip in this car as the driver or passenger. He prefers a sporty car so he's happy - would not be my first choice. The interior has deteriorated quite a lot. If this were my vehicle, I would be very unhappy, but again, not my daily vehicle. ;-))"

"The leader is a problem"

"Too much road noise"

"Ride is too harsh on the roads around here. Honda could have softened the ride somewhat. Headrest pokes WAY too far FORWARD, pushing the drivers (and front seat paasenger's) head WAY TOO FAR FORWARD to be comfortable."

"Seats are made with inferior cloth that wears thin with use. Looks cheap and also in winter, it is the type of cloth that causes you to have problems with static."

"Seats are comfortable on short-medium length journeys, but need to be more supportive for longer trips. Aid conditioning/ventilation is good in the front, but not for rear-seat passengers. Provision of ventilation for rea seat needs drastic improvement."

"The Accord is a great car, but it has a lot of road noise. I had a Honda Odyssey previously, and it also had a lot of road noise. Seems like noise reduction is not a big priority for Honda."

"While this car has been an excellent value, I personally find the seats uncomfortable; however, my wife does not have any problem with the seats. The car is noisy at turnpike speeds."

"dual climate controls are wonderful, seats are amazingly comfortable. The ride is very smooth."

"Road noise is the only comfort problem and reduces satisfaction with car from being very satisfied. It would also add to the comfort if the passenger seat had power adjustments like the driver's seat."

"I find the driver's seat uncomfortable and experience sciatic pain on multiple hour trips. My wife who is the primary driver of this car finds the seats very satisfactory."

"Seats are comfortable and adjustable."

"My only complaint about my 2009 Accord EX is that it is louder in terms of engine noise that our 2006. I have had it checked out by the dealership, and it seems to be standard noise level for this model."

"I have a bad back and the driver's seat is very comfortable"

"Car is very satisfactory but does have more road noise than I would like. It's relatively quiet on newer roads which may be more of a comment on the condition of our roads than on the vehicle."

"The fan doesn't provide a lot of air flow when set to both head and feet, but its enough. Interior is a bit loud on the highway."

"Passenger seat needs lumbar support as standard Item"

"Lots of road noise"

"Driver's seat is way too forward. Knees are just about into the steering wheel. No leg room!!!"

"Too much road noise. Hard suspension feel road bumps. Poor quality leather"

"Physical comfort (seats, air conditioning) is fine. Ride improved when original tires (Dunlop) were replaced with Michelins. Road noise is the worst feature: not a problem at all on smooth roads, but the least bump is like being inside a drum."

"Uncomfortable seats for long trips."

"Road noise is terrible. Cannot ride with windows down either because something with the aerodynamics amplifies the wind noise tremendously."

"Overall very stable and a good car. I can be noisy when driving at highway speeds. MPG could be better"

"It is erratic--sometimes getting cold when I want warm and the opposite in the summer. It gets very frustrating."

"Too noisy, especially road noise and tire noise"

"The Accord has had a history of rattles in the rear portion and has been looked at numerous times with little or no solution."

"a lot of road noise"

"driving compartment is tight for me; right leg is uncomfortable on drives exceeding 1 hour. I am 5'10" tall."

"Have started using hearing aids, which amplify all the road noise, air flow, signals, beepers to a distracting level. Have to remove or mute aids when in car."

"Interior leather trim falling apart."

"Noisy cabin"

"Winshield air leak when new that dealer fixed. Rattle that has gotten worse over time. Road noise quite high and also sharp jolts on broken pavement"

"Stiff ride, feel most bumps"

"I find leather seats are hot or cold and not very comfortable. Not just Honda but all cars and trucks."

"I drive 27 miles each way to work in rush hour traffic. I am very comfortable sitting in my Accord while waiting in traffic. There is lots of room for others in the car as well."

"Road noise a little loud."

"I used Edmond to get pricing from 4 car dealers and price was about $2500 below sticker with all item included."

"Good value compared to other cars."

"Other than regular preventative maintenance, we have not had to invest very much extra money into this vehicle until this year. New alternator. Very cost effective! Dealer told us at the time of purchase that they make money on the extended warranty program because these cars never have trouble. He was right!"

"The vehicle has not had any major maintenance or repair issues. There have been a few recall issues to address, but nothing that became a time issue to have fixed. The vehicle remains to be a comfortable, reliable driver with excellent acceleration and maneuverability."

"Payed ~$21000 for the Accord and had had mostly routine maintenance. Car has been very reliable and inexpensive to operate"

"Really expected bettr seat comfort & much less noise at this price level"

"the price is a good value. very low frequency of repairs. Needs almost no maintenance, other than oil change."

"evything works and nothing breaks. only replacements needed are brake pads, batteries, and tires."

"good value and handles well in highway or urban traffic."

"Have not spent a dime on it other then oil changes & tires in 9 years."

"Excellent reliability. Extremely low maintenance"

"Reliable and girly priced"

"77,000 miles with no repair costs except for normal maintenance."

"Excellent car for the money. Cheap to run and maintain and it is still stylish."

"Great value. Car has held up over the years and still performs well."

"Good handling sedan stiff ride, good acceleration. Road noise is my only problem."

"Great value and very easy to operate"

"The car is as dependable as the sun. I do suggested maintenance and the car responds by being as loyal as my dog."

"This car is very roomey, light weight. Noise is better. However, the quality you sacrificed. Not good. The doors do not close like the 2004. The frame is way to light for the size of the car. You feel like your in a tin can compared to a car. Very pretty. Don't know how it will do in an accident or any of the newer models after the 2004."

"I think my car represents long term value as it has not been a headache in any way. I've replaced tires and the battery once so far in a little over 70,000 miles and that's what I want in a car. I've done oil changes and transmission fluid change along with air filter and cabin filter changes. I like a car that can pay back in terms of no nightmare experiences."

"The vehicle was new when purchased. Over the last 9 years, we have had no failures of any system or serious (costly) repairs other than standard maintenance done by a Honda dealer. It still rides very comfortably, with very good engine and handling performance. The best compliment I could give is that I would seriously consider buying another Honda Accord."

"After 9 years, very, very few repairs --- none of them major"

"Car has demonstrated excellent reliability. It continues to provide excellent performance even though now 9 years old."

"Good value - a reliable, comfortable vehicle with well designed, easy to operate dashboard controls."

"This car has been outstanding with regard to reliability and durabliity."

"I did have an engine problem where one cylinder went bad but Honda Corporation covered the repair. It was a six cylinder engine which did have problems."

"Bought this LXP sedan in 2009. With regular maintainance, this car still is robustly alive and handles well. I have been postponing buying a new car, because this is running very well."

"Excellent value. This is my 6th Accord and i will purchase the 2018 or 2019 Accord for its reliability, engine, and mechanical devices."

"Excellent value for the money. Very reliable."

"We wanted to buy a vehicle with cloth seats however to get some of the other features we had to except leather. Today the leather seats are torn to pieces and it’s impossible to find replacements."

"Outstanding value, the car is well made"

"The 2009 Honda Accord is one of the best vehicle I have every owned. Very low maintenance cost. I do not drive a lot but i drive in heavy traffic. The only major cost I have invest in maintaining this vehicle is one set of new tires in 2013 and replaced the front brakes in 2015. The other cost is for basic and routine maintenance such as oil change and other fluids, air filter replacement, and replaced battery once."

"Great car. Great engine and performance. Fast, precise, a motorcycle on 4 wheels"

"Excellent reliability record."

"This is my 2nd Accord (the 1st one purchased in 1997 was stolen - probably for parts as the police officer speculated). I like the way it rides and its reliability when I undertake a 500 mile trip to visit family."

"For us, the value of the car was lessened because of the engine rebuild/recall/class action lawsuit, having to have engine work done twice. The local dealership was difficult to deal with, charging full price to replace the timing belt when they had the engine apart anyway. Honda of America got involved, but we experienced poor response, and poor customer service from the person assigned to our case, and confusing information provided. When the engine failed the second time it was deemed "not covered" by the recall, despite there previously being a problem with the engine, and the class action lawsuit being in place. As longtime Honda owners, we were disappointed with the service provided by the company to which we have been loyal."

"Confirtable, great driving car."

"Good acceleration, good brakes,good vision"

"The only troubles we have h d with our 2009 Honda has been with the brakes and at year 8 the engine. Since it is our 2nd car and not driven often there was a carbon build up in cylinder 3 of the engine and had to be repaired. We made the mistake and did not go through the dealer and ended up paying for the repair ourselves."

"Car has held up very well for 9 years and 100,000 miles."

"Wonderful car, very happy. However, the plastic covering on the armrests on the doors and in the center are peeling badly, the seal between driver's door and window separated, and the various rubber seals in the engine and transmission are coming apart or leaking."

"Excellent value for money. This vehicle has been exceptional in terms of comfort, ease of handling, gas mileage, service requirements, and affordability."

"I got every penny out of this car. Extremely reliable."

"It is an awesome car to drive and still feels like a new car."

"The car is basically a good car. There was an issue with oil consumption. Honda overhauled the engine to replace the piston rings and contaminated parts. I was not charged for this service event."

"It's a Honda. A great value."

"Needed a coupe - I'm 6'8" - good room for driver Poor rear visibility - surprisingly poor mileage - 20/21 mpg Maintenance costs low - do own oil changes etc"

"I've had this car for 8 years and have no reason to look for a replacement. It is an incredible value."

"We've had no major repairs to this vehicle and we expect the car to last a number of more years."

"Maintenance has been remarkably inexpensive."

"As you would expect with a Honda, it was reasonably priced and has been very reliable."

"Best car overall that I have ever owned"

"Have had about 8 years now. I have done most of the maintenance myself. It was relatively easy to do. Only real problem was the brakes, I replaced them at about 25000 miles. I used ceramic pads. Now have 60000+ miles and brakes are good. It was an easy job to replace the brakes. Very reliable and gets good gas mileage in stop and go."

"This car is quiet, comfortable and FAST. V-6 engine cylinder deactivation works perfectly. I receive many compliments about its styling. This is a 2-door coupe. Very easy entry, seats are very comfortable and adjustable."

"price varied greatly between dealers have had zero problems that were out of warranty"

"Before the 2009 Honda Accord we had a 1991 Honda Accord and put 200,000 miles on it. We gave it to our son who put more miles on it. We had very few problems with that car. The 2009 Accord is going strong and have had no mechanical problems nor do we expect any."

"Predictably reliable in every way. Not super, but consistent. No serious mechanical problems for over 150,00 miles."

"The car is 9 years old. My wife does not want a new car. Need I say more."

"Great open road gas mileage. Lasting value."

"We purchased this car as a certified used car. It has been extremely reliable! Only expenses are routine maintenance items."

"Until the 100K mile scheduled maintenance, repair cost of this vehicle have been very good"

"The car is reliable and worth the price."

"It is a very reliable vehicle with excellent styling. It has all the space I need and it is fun to drive. The only negative comment I ave is road noise but I can live with that to get the reliability and handling of the car on the road."

"Good fuel aconomy, very difficult to get in and out due to lowness"

"Our Honda has been a car worth the value; however, it's downfall to us is that it is hard to see out the back window when trying to back up. I really don't know the reason."

"Great gas mileage and extremely reliable."

"It was a little more that wanted to pay."

"I shopped over the phone. I got it for $21k taxes and fees included, and it was a brand new car. It's holding value pretty well. It has never broken in almost 7 years. Great value."

"Excelent fit and finish. No problems after 60 months, has only required oil changes and a set of tires (not worn, replaced because of age). Very easy to drive and comfortable to ride in."

"Good price and service. Good mileage. Honda sacrifices ride and quietness for mileage by reducing the weight of the car."

"good performance for the money"

"Very good price for reliable car"

"Very reliable car. It always starts, and I can rely on it to get me where I need to go without problems. On the other hand, the ride and the noise inside the car are a bit offputting to me."

"The car still looks brand new and I still get compliments on it"

"I have had no major problems with this car. However, I have not had my air bags changed but I have received a letter from Honda with information on when they need to be replaced."

"All autos are "Way" overpriced!"

"still has modern aerodynamic look"

".2 door coupe styling"

"Still looks stylish after 7 years."

"At the time the styling was very good"

"That's one of the reasons my husband bought this car, he liked the style. Then when he test drove it, he was sold. :} Has had no problems with this beautiful 2009 Honda Accord. This type of car did not receive a airbag recall. Went to dealer and they said his car is fine. He will keep this car as long as it drives. :}"

"Aerodynamically clean lines. White with tan leather interior."
