2018 Honda Accord 2.0T Touring Review 

A car that loaded is damn well a “luxury” car, no matter the brand.

I’m confused as to why so many of you are here to bash the Accord. If you don’t like it, why are you watching the video? All reviews on the Accord have been positive because this is the best Accord Honda has built.

I’ve had this car for almost a year now (same trim) and I still enjoy the little things you pointed out. It’s very dynamic and an overall fun car to drive.

Each time I see a Honda Accord passing by I always ask myself that I want to get one in either red or black. I am in love with their wheels and the style also

Here I am 2 years later about to pick one up pre-owned for $24,000.

Honda really impressed me this Gen. Our accord 2.0t sport is incredible. I didnt know the touring was so well equipped

I bought my '20 Accord Touring 2.0T almost a year and a half ago and I could not be more pleased! This car is awesome and so much fun to drive. The engine is potent and pulls hard. The ride is great. The handling is superb. I am smitten! Drove nothing but V6 Honda/Acura products since 2002 and was very skeptical about going back to a 4 cylinder but all of my concerns have been erased. I love my Accord Touring and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

After owning my Accord 2L Touring for a year now I can pretty much agree with the review. Cons: transmission shifts too much from the start ,it's inconvenient not to be able to open the back doors hands free, must either open the front doors with touch or use the remote and the ride IS a bit noisy. Only 3 cons is pretty good. The safety features as well as the occasional hands free driving are great. Safety has already saved me from a couple of potential bad incidents, and, on long drives, I"ve gone as much as 5-6 miles without any personal control of the vehicle and it's worked great. Heads up display is a big plus. My last 5 vehicles were Lexus ES which I was getting tired of so I tried the Accord. No, it's not a Lexus but I've been very happy with the Accord as a change of pace.

Damn son, yield to traffic coming from the left in a roundabout.

I just got a Accord Sport 2.0T (10 speed) and I think it is really a great car!

I cant wait until 15 years later when i can afford this!! 😍😍😍

I have a 2020 accord sport 2.0 and it's the best car I've ever owned bye far. So much fun to drive and really attractive.

This is coming from a VERY happy 2018 2.0t ex-l owner. This car is absolutely hands down amazing. The speed is incredible and I easily chose it over an eco boost mustang premium and Camry xse. Interior and exterior are fantastic. The front grill does look a little chinsy but only in certain lights. The old accord is conservative and boring af. I am SO glad they did something bold and remade a very old conservative car into a sporty fun luxurious master piece. In the city on the highway doesn’t matter hit the sport button and let the 10 speed auto do the rest.IT EVEN HAS MORE TECH THAN AN AUDI A4 AND IS FASTER. people will always be resistant to change at first but once they wake up and realize accord has to be rebranded to compete with what the Korean carmakers are doing these days they will see it for the master piece that it is!! Love this car !!!

Fun to see you driving local roads! Nice review. I am pulling back from luxury vehicles and I'm glad to see Honda is doing so well, especially when Nissan has fallen so far.

Man this is probably one of the best car reviews I have seen lately. Great job.

2018 2.0L Touring. I am loving this car more every day. Great ride. Great and many tech features. No regrets. Definitely recommend buying this car if you like casual or sport driving.

I bought one. Traded an A6 t. Love this car. Light, fast, fun.

I love my Honda Accord 2.0T !

For all the people saying it looks like shit and can’t even compared to a bmw are just pissed cause they can’t afford the bmw nor the Honda.

You are one of the best car reviewers out there! You cover so much, easy to understand and succinctly. Appreciate that!

Dude this car smokes that V6. I have one, sport 2019 2.0, and done it before. Many times

This is damn nice. I drove a fully loaded 2.0t Touring like the one in the video. The car pulls hard. Fantastic car way better than the previous Accord.

this is an excellent review.. the host is really clear in taking us through all the specs ... great job

Jesus drove a Honda, but never talked about it "For I did not speak of my own accord..." John 12:49

Who need Audi n BMW over prices car, this accord has everything n reliable I'll take one

This car is so quick off the line. Honda has outdone itself with the 10 speed transmission.

I must say this is the most beautiful Honda Accord built so far..stunning!

@10:00 "0 MPH to 60 MPH test" -- Traction Control should have been turned off (it is on by default). -- The camera should have been on the road for that acceleration test -- not on your face. @10:44 "All Sport mode really does is it re-maps the throttle and also tightens up those adaptive shocks." Sport mode holds lower gears longer, to make the throttle more responsive. Sport mode increases the turbo boost, for better acceleration. "It doesn't give you more horsepower." That is true, but needs clarification. Sport mode allows the car to use 100% of its power (without getting into aftermarket HonData modifications). It allows the car to use 100% of the power that the car comes with from the factory. The other modes reduce performance, in favor of better fuel economy (and softer ride). So although Sport mode does not give you more power (than what the car comes with), it does give you more power than the other two modes, because the other two mode reduce power (both via turbo boost and transmission shift points). If you drive the car in either Econ or the default mode for a while, and then shift to Sport mode, you will feel the car wake up. Perhaps more noticeable is if you drive in Sport mode for a while, and then switch to one of the other modes, you will feel the car ease up. "...not much of a difference between Econ and Sport, in terms of 0 MPH to 60 MPH times" Sport mode holds lower gears longer, and increases the turbo boost. @12:35 "This one has Lane Detection" It works only when driving between 45 MPH and 90 MPH. It will make only minor adjustments. If you start to cross the line on a turn, you are going to cross the line. The Lane Detection system will not make more than minor adjustments. Note mentioned in this review is that those 19" wheels, with their low profile tires (meaning less sidewall), in combination with the way Honda tuned the suspension, results in a sedan that really grips the road during hard turns. Those tires will stay planted much better than most people think, and will hold sharp turns at speeds most people would never try. It is not like a mid-engine Corvette. But it is very, very good (but do not drive like a nut -- even a million dollar Ferrari will lose control if pushed too hard). Lastly, the brakes are very, very good. They are silky smooth, and slow the car down with ease. They will probably save many people from accidents, when they had to stop short. The Accord (Sport and Touring) is a great car. It is a blast to drive, and it is comfortable. The stereo, however, is so-so. The other Accord styles are probably also very good. I have not driven them. For performance, the 19" wheels (available only on the Sport and Touring) is a must. Cheers!

Ditto love my 2019 Honda Accord 2.0t, and so do all the automotive journalist.

know how i know this is a great car? just look at all the haters that flock to every 2018 accord video

I just purchased this vehicle, and I love it 😍 the performance, the luxury, the way this car handles the road, along with all of the intricacies included makes Honda a fierce force to be reckoned with!!❤️

A lot of features were added which makes the long journey becomes more comfortable. Honda technologies would never be disappointing.

I love my Accord 2.0T Touring. I timed my car’s 0-60 at 5.51 seconds (foot to floor), not with rollout.

“Looks so good you might confuse it for a BMW or Audi.” Within the first 30 seconds I was already not taking this guy seriously 😂

Thanks so much for the details that you gave. I was thinking to buy Camry but after this video it looks like both financially and with its features it is more reasonable to buy Honda Accord. Really thanks so much. 🙏

I test drove it. It's luxurious. Excellent car

Doug DeMuro you have a competition. Love the way you tell the story. Great job

Thank you for sharing the Honda Accord 2.0T 2018 i love it. Honda here i come.

Ummm , when you dump down to the Sport 2.0t you DO get a sunroof, rear vents, partial leather seats and heated seats

2014 Accord V6 owner here. V6 has great fuel economy thanks to cylinder deactivation. Have an average of 30 combined. Not to mention it doesn’t rev like a hairdryer. :P

The 2.0T in the accord is the K20C4 engine, it is not "borrowed" from the type R (Which is the K20C1 engine). Same size, but different engines.

Econ has nothing to do with the suspension. Econ adjust the throttle, transmission,climate control and cruise control to get better gas mileage while cruising at highway speeds. I am a multi Accord owner and own the exact vehicle you are driving.

My brother has a 2.0 sport definitely a sleeper love driving that thing its very quick

I miss the V6 Accord. I have a 2013 V6, EX-L and the thing has 163,000 miles and still quick as ever.

I have one and can easily get 38 mpg on the highway. It has plenty of power but I always want more. Hondata sells an interface that using your laptop allows you to tweek the tune to bring performance numbers much closer to the Type-R Civic. Also, when I came out of the carwash the other day the kid drying the car said at first he thought it was a Lexus.

these things look good, even better in person! blue with black rims looks very expensive

I can't find a single thing I like about this new Accord, especially not getting a body style choice

The Honda Accord is definitely gonna be my first car, and I'm getting the Touring. It's not so much the fact that it's a hybrid, but it has wireless phone charging.

Thanks for a real world demo of Honda Sensing. Others just kind of talked about it.

1990s: fuck YEAH we're doing factory turbos for EVERYTHING 2000s: nah NA everything 2013+:fuck YEAH we're doing factory turbos for EVERYTHING

As a driver of the last series accord gen in the UK, we desperately need this over here.

It's really beautiful to watch this. Wish I can get this now

Honda Cars are great vehicles some of you people here are just hating. I love my Honda Accord.

Love this video great job. I current lease a 2016 bmw 528i xDrive and next August when my 3 years is up I'll be going into a accord touring 2.0t for sure!

The presenter is very well equipped with knowledge and preparation

Beautiful car!! I am surprised with the negative comments, would you rather a plain boring design?? Finally somthing exciting for a bargain price.

Love every single thing about this car, but I have to go with the manual not that the 10speed ain't good enough I like the 10speed but I like to feel more connected with my cars great review by the way.

Up next??? The Kia Optima SXL!! My 2017 is so comfy and advanced we're driving to Vegas instead of the 1 hr flight this Saturday!

i didnt get confused for an audi or bmw...

When you have a honda accord 2003 3.0L V6, this car is like a dream.

Honda accord ,I love the antique just from my childhood at the age of just ten back to the year 1990

im so exited im getting one next week

Center console is too wide. Likely to interfere with roadhead.

I owned it for two years and regret selling. It's a great car and fully loaded!!

There's already data on adaptive cruise control and lane keep. They have no discernable safety impact. Automatic breaking has a massive positive safety effect though.

Decent review, but he did say some things which weren't totally accurate. He said the mpg has increased with the Turbo and that's not true. For example, they rated the V-6 at 34 mph hwy. I was hoping he would comment on the transmission. I have a 2018 Toyota Camry XLE V-6 and I really like it overall, but after a year I still get frustrated with the transmission having some real flat spots. I went from a 2015 Camry V-6 with a very smooth 6-speed to the 10 speed, which the Accord has also. I guess I will have to find out for myself to know for sure. My guess is that the Accord shifts more smoothly than the Camry. As the weather warms up I'll have to go to a dealer and take one for a ride. Now that my Camry is over a year old, they won't tell me to get lost and think I am just wasting their time. When I went to the Honda Dealer about a year and a half ago, the redesigned 2018 Accords weren't coming out for some months so I bought the Camry.

Tried the Honda. Tried the Toyota. Bought a Ford Fusion 2.0l Titanium awd. Interior quality is just as good. Exterior styling is much better. Electronics are equal. Zero to 60, the same.But the Fusion outdid them all in ride comfort, noise abatement and handling. An enjoyable car to drive each day.

The Honda Accord 2.0T Sport has a moonroof. The 1.5T does not. But I wonder, can you get them with navigation?

Fantastic simply fantastic review which precisely done a comparison as well 👍👍

The front sensors are picking up the rear sensors of the car in front of you. I have the same car and finally figured out what was going on. Doesn't happen a lot but it's definitely annoying. Hopefully Honda can fix this.

This sounds more like you’re getting sponsored by Honda to promote this car

you can easily adjust the sensitivity of the sensors if they are going off a lot in traffic

This hits 60 in 5.5 seconds- same as my 2011 335 msport at same time it’s quieter and nicer inside - I’m trading it in for one

Very clear picture on the video. I've had 3 Accords in a row in the UK and wld love this one but I don't think they're going to bring it here. I don't like SUV's so I'm left with the Civic with its interior infotainment system and dodgy looks. Think I'm going to go Mazda 6 when it's time to change.

One of the best cars on the market.

A lot of manual transmission fan boys out there... one reason to support this car it’s one of the last sedans offered with one, so keep supporting Honda if you want to see it stay around

"You might confuse it with a BMW or an Audi"....1 thing not too be confused with. Reliability over the Germans.

Nice, informative & vibrant video presentation.

I have both the 18 Accord touring 2.0 and an 18 Subaru Outback Touring model - it's just you looking for a nitpick; I've never had a problem with my heated steering wheel button or the 'i' buttons on the underside of the Subie. LOL.

I like my 2016 without all the buttons and dials on the main screen. It looks so much cleaner.

I love this year Honda but everyone has their own preference it'll look better in my opinion if the rear of the car look like the 2017 audi A7

FeFE was the first song on the list hahahaaa..👌👌

Great video! Not sure if you knew this at the time, but the sport and 2.0 sport do come with leather trimmed seats, and the 2.0 sport has a sunroof and adds smart access, heated seats, and rear vents

A well done review 👍

Car look so damn good in style design and its looks..

I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me.

The old V6 and the new turbo have the same MPG. Plus turbos usually under perform the advertised fuel economy, so why do try turbo again??

10-spd automatic :0 I do like the accord though, idk they have other factory rims for it, I would probably get one in silver or white

This design is so ugly why change something that’s not needing to be fix the 2016 Accord looks so much better

*Thoughts on 2018 Honda Accord (Design):* Let me start off by saying that there are several elements where I think the designers did a pretty good job at. First and foremost, the interior design looks nice as a simple yet pretty functional layout. A little bland on minor occasions, but still nice as it is. Additionally, I can't deny that the work they've done with most of the materials and fit-and-finish is quite rewarding. Coming out with simple creative ideas that all-in-all gives it a modern vibe to it. ..but then, there comes the new Accord's elephant in the room.... the exterior proportions, and the whole exterior design.... ...ohhh my-..... ahh god, my.... dude... I-... I think JonTron said it best here: ["Oh.... OH, a-are you serious? Is that something where someone who calls himself a professional artist/designer actually made and handed to their boss and the boss went: "Yeah that looks good, do that."......?????"] My lord, where the hell do I even begin with this? Well, I guess I can start off with the exterior design, as the whole exterior looks like it was entirely done by a brain-damaged chimpanzee! In any other exterior vehicle design, an actual vehicle designer who has the credibility to do his job, would create something that looks pretty realistic, yet also artistic at the same time. Making something that looks believable, well-proportioned, elegant, but also something that belongs in its own world, without looking too plain-jane, which was in fact something where the previous-generation Accord already did so well at. Several sedans I can think of right now with a fastback design like the all-new Toyota Avalon and Volkswagen Arteon accomplished that really well. THIS however, looks like something they want to make in order to get fired from their job! I can assure you that NO professional designer would ever look at this, and think that this is even in the slightest bit acceptable! Let alone for a sedan with a fastback bodystyle! Even you, the person who is listening to this right now, can create a design that looks much more professional than this mess! And if the exterior design wasn't enough, its exterior proportions are the ultimate piles of salt to an open wound. It tries WAY TOO hard to look so sleek, so dynamic, so elegant, so edgy, and so dramatic, and so tasteful, just to get the audience's reactions that it crosses the line, and it's not at all funny anymore! It's, simply put, just sad, desperate, disgusting, and it's only appealing to those in the lowest common denominator. You can tell when a design looks so horrific, that you have to not even give it a tiny glimpse or peek in order to look at it. Seriously, this is something I expect to see from Pontiac as a sedan version to the Aztek! Not a large and rich automotive industry like Honda! EVEN Toyota with the latest Prius, and Nissan with the latest Maxima, both did a better job than this! Like I said, there are a few good things about the new Accord's design, such as the interior... but what they did to the exterior is why I think the designers should seriously consider an immediate career change. *Overall Design Score:* 3/10

So I have a 2016 Accord EX ...Runs like a champ...But I really like the new ones but I'm kinda afraid to get one because they are turbocharged...

I wonder if Honda will add a Panoramic roof on the mid refresh... that will be really nice! You see this car on the road.. you must look and say.. this car is really nice

Nice video, kudos to Honda for what looks like one of the top midsize sedans on the market today! As a 2015 V6 Accord owner, I would've liked Honda to keep the V6 as an option -- although I understand the fuel economy purpose. But the V6 option with a 6spd manuel would've been awesome! Just my opinion here...👍

I have both these cars 2018 model but i like Camry xse more than accord. Camry is more tougher, Its build quality is better and camry drives better.Camry interior is more upscale , Honda design strike for first 10 days or a month but with time i get bore from it. Mileage for both the cars is all most same 14 Kmpl in City and 16 on highway .

great review, thanks+++ really like the Accord.

I used True Car for my Accord Sport 2.0. Paid $26500 after I put $1000 down. You can get crazy good deals on these cars. Do some research before walking into a dealer.

That is the best sedan EVER !

The new accord and civic are some of honda best work. The power transfer is excellent. I just dont like fwd. I've driven 1.5t accord and civic.

Also looking forward to see the Acura, infiniti and lexus rivals :)

I recently traded my 2014 Honda Accord V6 for a Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0 Turbo. The Hyundai is head and shoulders above the Honda. I looked at the turbo Accord and decided not to buy, this after buying a new Accord V6 four times before. The Accord Turbo 2.0T is grossly overpriced, in order to get the turbo you have to buy a "larded up" version that runs about 35K - 36K with lots of "stuff" I don't need, chief among them is the sunroof that I would open on my other cars once a year to make sure it is still working and the leather interior that is not of great quality sticky in summer and stiff in winter. The Hyundai has a sunroof but no leather. The audio system is very good and the car is quieter than any Accord I have ever owned. In sport mode the car flies down the road with 245 hp and 260 ft lbs. of torque coming in at 1400 RPM and handles superbly. The Hyundai has a 100K miles warranty on the drivetrain, including the turbo, compared with 60K miles for the Honda. The Hyundai stickered at $28,900 and I got it for $ 22,260 + TT&L. I looked at the Toyota and it was more expensive than the Honda and larded up still more "stuff" that I didn't want on the car like the sunroof that stretches virtually the full length of the car. It is my understanding that Hyundai is discontinuing the Sonata Sport turbo in favor of only building a more "larded up" version like the Honda and Toyota. I am very happy with the Hyundai and would recommend it without hesitation.
