Herbert T., NY (2016 Honda Accord)"The steering in the car is very good, and surprisingly heavy at times. The car does go through corners pretty well, but the V6 does make the front end feel heavy, and the front wheel drive also hurts some of the fun when driving bendy roads. :)"

Anonymous, MN (2016 Honda Accord)"Good handling and decent acceleration for 4 cylinder automatic. Smooth ride but more noise than would be expected for an Accord class vehicle."
Anonymous, TX (2016 Honda Accord)"Handles well. CV transmission still gives good acceleration. Best is the overall safety sense and convenience from the back and right side cameras, lane assist and smart cruise control."
Megan S., MO (2016 Honda Accord)"All good, nothing bad at all. When young, we had a variety of sports and muscle cars, but loving this sweetie now!"
Anonymous, CA (2016 Honda Accord)"Acceleration response seems to lag."

Anonymous, NY (2016 Honda Accord)"The suspension is unsettled at speed and can be difficult to place on the road with any precision requiring constant adjustment. This has meant that I almost always have the lane keep assist on, even during commuting. I am about to change tires for a firmer sidewall, to hopefully fix this issue."
Anonymous, VA (2016 Honda Accord)"handles as well as sports cars that I had when I was in my twenties - that's the 1960's. Very quick and responsive."

Charles C., NJ (2016 Honda Accord)"In spite of my Honda having only a 4-cylinder engine, I think my acceleration is above average. I've noticed that with my 2016 Accord (unlike with earlier models), when I am stopped going uphill, my Honda does not roll backwards as I move my foot from the brake to the accelerator which I really like."
Judith O., TN (2016 Honda Accord)"Adaptible cruise control and lane control makes driving on long trips easy and not tiring"
John B., PA (2016 Honda Accord)"Handling is average at best, acceleration is excellent."
Allan L., FL (2016 Honda Accord)"As mentioned before, it's a stick. That means "I" get to decide what gear to be in. I'm always in the "right" gear. No geek in a lab coat back in R&D is going to decide for me. Everything these days is about MPG. Some of us don't care."

Douglas L., AZ (2016 Honda Accord)"I have a V6 coupe, and the handling is above average, and the acceleration is excellent. I bought it because it looked goo and it was pretty quick for the money."
Mark H., FL (2016 Honda Accord)"The two door base model has most if not all the sport features. 2.5 liter engine feels much larger, almost like a V6 from 5 years ago. Most of this is due to the superior CVT Honda has mated to this 4 cylinder. I have never experienced such good acceleration with a 4 cylinder in any other car I driven. Lots of power even when accelerating at highway speeds. The 2 door model had some extra tuning of the suspension and the larger wheels make for a fun drive. Steering is nice and tight. Very much better than the 4-door model. It's a shame Honda discontinued the 2-door. Much better car, styling and performance wise."
Scott K., MA (2016 Honda Accord)"For 4 cylinder, it has good acceleration. Gas mileage is very good for this size vehicle."
Nick M., NY (2016 Honda Accord)"The Accord is a very peppy car and gets good mileage."
Anonymous, NJ (2016 Honda Accord)"Excellent V6 acceleration and sure footed braking. However the steering is very light. I feel like I have to stay on top of where the car is pointed with constant slight adjustments. I really wished it had a heavier steering feel like that of our older 2007 Accord."

Anonymous, AL (2016 Honda Accord)"2 liter engine tuned correctly to accelerate onto highway like a V6."

Anonymous, CA (2016 Honda Accord)"All great except the turning radius. I bought the Sport model because of the gorgeous color; only one on the lot and I did not know about 19" wheels. It takes a lot more room to do a U-turn."

It handles road faults nicely, with a good balance between firmness and comfort. Braking is solid and controllable."
Robert B., CA (2016 Honda Accord)"Is has a transmission shudder at certain speeds. I'm told by the dealer they have a fix for it. It took a year to get to this point."
Gary H., OR (2016 Honda Accord)"The acceleration of the V6 engine is very quick to respond when called upon to get into or out of city traffic. There is also an "Econ" button that will take some power away but REALLY increases your mileage. This is very useful on a long drive. The steering/handling seems to be adaptive and tightens as your speed increases. Luxurious and smooth at the low speeds while being nimble and aggressive on the top end."
Jason P., TX (2016 Honda Accord)"great acceleration and handling"
Stephen D., ME (2016 Honda Accord)"horrible acceleration and the handling feels like mashed potatoes, or a wet noodle. Woe to the Accord driver who needs to make an emergency maneuver to avoid hitting something, because the brakes, suspension and handling characteristics all add up to a big screeching loss of control. I know understand why Honda was fined one of the largest fines ever by the US for lying and not reporting on the number of deaths in their cars over the last 11 years."

Anonymous, NY (2016 Honda Accord)"Best acceleration of any 4 cylinder Honda I have ever owned (several)"
BRUCE F., CT (2016 Honda Accord)"The continuously variable transmission gives this car tremendous acceleration for a 4 cylinder car. Its a peppy car."
Anonymous, GA (2016 Honda Accord)"Steering has no feeling and with weight over wheels changes direction too quickly. Also the ride is a bit jittery and it feels very front heavy going into turns (V6 model)"
ROGER S., CA (2016 Honda Accord)"Collision Mitigation system. Way too sensitive in my opinion. Do not like the continuous annunciation on the instrument panel when the system is selected off. Honda should have co-located this caution light with the switch on the lower left panel."
PJ S., WA (2016 Honda Accord)"I went through quite a process selecting my vehicle this year. Studied, researched, and drove many vehicles in the Accord category, including luxury sedans and coupes. The only vehicle that outdrove the Accord for acceleration and handling is the high end 2 series BMW (M240i). For the dollars spent, I am very pleased with the acceleration and handling, especially with the V6 engine. As much as I would love a high performance vehicle, I don't have the money to shell out for maintenance. Pleased w"

DIANE V., MI (2016 Honda Accord)"Drive is good but seams tight on the highway, It is easy to wonder a little in the lane."
Anonymous, ME (2016 Honda Accord)"The drive on the Accord is very smooth. Acceleration from low RPM leaves something to be desired but it's a smooth engine and fun to rev out. Handling is also decent for a car this size. Not as good as a Mazda 6 but way smoother."
JONATHAN D., QC (2016 Honda Accord)"The engine cuts off unexpectedly when I touch the brake pedal, which I do often in city traffic."

TOM G., OH (2016 Honda Accord)"Handling is excellent. The info system is somewhat confusing and no easy to use. The ride is choppy."
STEPHEN B., MA (2016 Honda Accord)"CVT is excellent in normal driving but struggles under heavy acceleration. Somewhat of a rubber band effect - engine revs quickly but there is a lag before the transmission catches up and then the car really jumps."
Anonymous, GA (2016 Honda Accord)"Lane departure and Collision System work very well, although noone at the agency really knew how they worked, nor was the tiny manual very useful; we had to go online to learn what was happening when it beeped, for example."

SHEILA G., MD (2016 Honda Accord)"The 4 cylinder engine is powerful enough to accelerate the traffic on major interstates and handling is tight, responsive and provides confidence."

PAUL B., NY (2016 Honda Accord)"rough riding on back roads - noisy. Much better on highway - smooth & quick! We like the right turn camera that shows that it is safe to move over. Storage is pretty good for a sedan - back seats fold down for extra long space."
