The CVT transmission in this car was one of the reasons why I went with the previous gen Accord. I dont mind modern CVT's that fake shift but ones that just rev up like in this 2016 Accord, I just really don't like. Apart from price another reason I didnt go with this generation of Accord was for the oil consumption issue. Apparently, Honda did the Hyundai thing and made the K24 a GDI engine which leads to oil burning. My 2012 Accord has the 5 speed auto and the legendary K24 motor before GDI. Great car. Has never let me down.
I have the 2014 EX sedan 2.4. It was my first car and it’s a great car all around. Yeah you’re gonna want the v6 when it comes to more spirited driving, however, as a comfortable daily driver for a 19 year old it’s perfect. CVT isn’t the best but it’s certainly one of the better CVTs in the market. It has a good power band and enough torque to punch the gas here and there while taking some tight turns. I get upwards of 35 mpg on the highway and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better first car for its price.
Also , the newest gen ILX has the K24 motor with a DCT. It’s essentially what everyone wanted this car to be. Both cars are phenomenal pieces of machinery though.
I owned a 2017 Accord sport and loved it unfortunately i totaled it. I test drove the new hybrid Accord sport and ended up buying it but still think about downgrading to get another on of 2017 sport. It was just perfect. Smh Newer isnt always better.
@@DMCarReviews Thanks! Ive been looking but they are hard to find in the DMV area. When you do find them they never last more than a couple weeks at the dealer.
Another great review in my very own backyard... I must agree. I find this generation a bit quicker off the line compared to the 1.5T engine in the more recent Accord's. The next time you are at Fitzgerald Hyundai of Gaithersburg. Ask to test drive a 2015 Genesis 5.0... It would be interesting to hear your feedback and comparison from the 2015 to the recent review you did on the 2018 G80 5.0... If you choose to do so, you would be essentially reviewing my old car. It's stock # H08359C.
My grandma has a 2015 CR-V. I didn't think I would like driving it because I had previously driven a Civic and it was really underpowered. CR-V barely revs up to 2K to get going and driving in the city you wouldn't even know the engine is running.
Forgot one trim level which is the sport “special edition” trim and that’s the one I have. Have a 2017 Accord Sport SE in the Basque Red Pearl II color with all leather for the interior and front heated seats
@@DMCarReviewsof course anytime. I wish for the touring in this generation they offered both the 4 and 6 cyl engines because Toyota does that with their high trim Camrys. If that was the case I would opt for the 4 cyl. I personally would have gotten the V6 but I heard that their transmission are notorious for going out prematurely. Also did not want to deal with the timing belt change every 100k
Daamn bro..easy on the buttons..like i tell my wife even tho its her Accord ..lol😅 how many miles? Her engine engine dont sound that good..does it have an exgaust? I guess we never stepped on it often lol
@@DMCarReviews I get that slight delay when hitting the gas. I did some research and found out this only happens if you have a tear in your Intake which is pretty common for accords.
@@DMCarReviewshey man I know you like the Accord 2.4 more than the 2015 Altima you said you had in highschool but I guarantee you a 2016 Altima SR will dust that accord at racetrack!!!
