2018 Honda Accord Review - First Drive 

At this point, Acura as a brand is almost completely irrelevant. It is suppose to be Honda's 'near premium' brand, however Honda's are way more striking, competitive, offer premium amenities and they actually look kinda nice to top things off. This is better than the Acura TLX. The interior alone makes the TLX appear cheap, although the 2018 Camry's interior has a nicer design. Just saying. I like this car alot but I prefer the Camry. Looking forward to a comparison though.

You people need complaining and haven’t even seen the car in person or test drove it need to stop. I didn’t like from the pics but when i saw it and drove it, it was amazing. And to the engines all y’all on here complaining about the v6 being replaced and the coupe being discontinued really? Sales numbers showed that no one was buying the coupes or v6 also the new 2.0 is way quicker that that v6

Honda just seems to be on top of their game

Great review again! The music + filming... everything! Great work!

Best midsize sedan.. once again Honda.. great Job. Id deff get this new Accord 2.0T Touring for sure

I'm glad the drivetrain in my Type R is being used in the accord, even if it is a bit untuned. I can't to drive and review the Accord when it comes into the dealers, should be A LOT of fun

Enjoyed the humourous aspect. Does anyone else see a slight resemblence of the rear roof line of the new accord to that if the Honda crosstour? And on a second note does anyone else think Honda's wheel design decision on this car and the CRV to be rather weak?

I've seen a few reviews of this car and so far this is the only reviewer complaining about the steering input/feel of the new Accord.

Great review. You could review rocks and I'd tune in.

Oh man the car was right at the edge.

HAHA...this review is HILARIOUS!!! Is there always an off-camera conversation with the cameraman? If so, I'll be looking for more!

Any info at the introduction regarding drag coefficient? Must have been shared...and thanks for your always "make me smile" reviews.

Sport Mode = "Late for work" Mode 😂

New Hampshire is beautiful as is the accord.

So a Chevy Impala side profile, Honda Civic rear, Dodge charger front, and a Mazda 6 interior

Craig Cole is by far one of the best and most entertaining reviewers on RU-vid

The new Mazda 6 looks much more better for me

2018 Honda Accord is pretty good, but a MAJOR problem: it sits way too low. Pros: Most of the Accord are done well. Back to a more traditional dash board - with Knobs. Cons: Sits WAY too low, result is poor visibility, lack of headroom, unsafe feeling when others cars tower over you. So low it is hard (requires bending, stooping) to get in and out of the Accord. Low profile tires - which result in poor ride and this helps lower the car further. Final Con, I wish Honda would get rid of the bad push button shifter and just go back to a wonderful standard console shifter.

This car looks so much more better than the Camry. I do not care much for the Camry interiors as well. Advantage Accord.

*Accord tries to be a sporty family sedan by adding sport mode/features: complaints. Family sedans that are vanilla and don't offer sport features like the Camry's of yore: complaints. Like holy shit. Are these care reviewers EVER satisfied with ANYTHING?*

I'm a big Honda Fan but I really dislike the exterior look of the rear of the car, I prefer the 2017 & 2012 Accord look. The Interior looks amazing on this 2018 model

I like the interior; Conserved and refined. Very practical approach to target buyers. Also nice coupelike roofline, butI can't shake off how ugly it is on front and rear end though..

Excellent review this guy is ALWAYS funnie and HONEST. That dam Camry! Lol

Great review. Entertaining and Honest.

Man... I like both the Camry and accord... but I really want they to have a true fast back with a hatch instead of a trunk... hell I'd be down for a wagon! Also a panoramic roof in a wagon would be sick! All the headroom, and functionality with the efficiency of a sedan...

Finally a good reviewer

So elegant! Like it much!

Can't remember the last time a car review made me laugh. Awesome review!

Nice review. Can’t wait to see comparisons with the Camry

lol u guys are funny, I appreciate the jokes, my dad is a geologist :)

Which one would you take, the accord or the mazda 6?

Craig sounds like he like the King Camry better. He mentioned three times that the Camry was better. Like the current Pilot against the Toyota Highlander, I think the new Accord is gonna struggle against Toyota

It looks good compared to the new Camry. But switching to turbo charged engines, from stalwarts 4 and 6 cylinder engines with an established reputation, is hurting Accord sales. For every new Accord I see on the road, I see at least 4 new Camry's. 100,000 Camrys sold just this year. A little over 60,000 new Accords. That is bad news. A dealer had new Accords for $19,900 in Chattanooga two months ago. When is the last time you have seen a brand new Accord at less than $20,000? In researching and new car possibility, I found Accord only gives you blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert when you move up to the E X model. To that is about a $4,000 increase over the base LX Accord which has most of the things I need. With the Camry you only pay about $900 to get those two extra safety features. I like both cars I prefer the Accord because of its more attractive body. But right now if I had a choice I'd have to buy the Camry.

Hey Craig what color is that car?

The 2018 Camry doesn't stand a chance in the inevitable comparison tests. This looks better, has a nicer and more functional interior, and the 2.0T is probably going to outrun the 3.5 V-6 in the Camry thanks to the torque and 10-speed auto. Not to mention the Camry is missing a ton of tech features the competitors offers (memory seats, ventilated seats, Android Auto/Apple Carplay to name a few). About the only highlight of the Camry is fuel economy in the 2.5L 4-banger, which is riveting stuff...

Pretty fucking sad that volume knobs are praised for being "standard feature". Please don't praise that, but acknowledge that it should have been something that should have never been removed :)

How are you supposed to put a front license plate without blocking the radar?

Not a fan of the Civic XL looks. I'd wait for the Accord refresh in a few years. And I just don't see the manual 1.5T and 2.0T Accords selling well, either.

The 10 speed auto is nice and I'm sure the torque feels pretty good but 252 horsepower is too far under the Camry V6.

I actually like the new design. Looks more aggressive than Camry but again Camry looks good as well.

why is it not called curbed this time? I am confused...

For the 2018 Accord LX with Auto (CVT), I can get one under $21000K. I found 1 or 2 offering under 20K in the Midwest areas.

I like it,and exhaust pipes are amazing,but they need to put them for the CRV SUV

He's a bone smoker but he seems like a cool guy. Makes the review more engaging. And he seems to know his stuff.

Does it have a quiet engine

Watch this video again, but this time, focus on the massive wrinkles on his giant forehead as he speaks. You're welcome

Who pays 37k for a 4 cylinder Accord? For that money you can get a very nice A4 or even a base Tesla 3. The sub 30k Accords are a fine value in a family car.

Will Jody & Craig MC (Masters of Ceremony) the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 1st week of December for us U-Tubers ?

with this, who would buy acura?

Looks so beautiful.

Not liking all the detailing on the exterior too many lines I like the sleek simplicity of the accord now. Less is more but it's nice on the inside 🤷🏻‍♀️

They brought back the Acura beak !!

Cough cough....need a type R for us young dads who would love a powerful family hauler without going to AMG or something else.

If it had awd I'd buy this in a heartbeat

This man needs to do every review for this company. I'd still take the Camry over this.

My God, that front end is fucked...

Craig got a suit this time!

What location was this shot at?

great review thx

Very nice video and nice car

The more I see this 2018 Accord online, the more the look is starting to grow on me. Hope it looks better in person. But what is up with Honda and their ugly rim designs? It looks awful.

Honda really stepped their game up this year

This guy looks like the only chance he has of finding love is by walking down the aisle with a Camry.

I think Honda just cut their own throat by putting the Turbo junk in the CRV and Accord. They sacrificed HP and reliability for MPG. I just traded my 2014 CRV for a RDX and would buy the 2018 Camry for my wife because it still has the reliable 4 or the V6.

Do a review on a 2018 Hyundai?

Honda civic SI 2016 wheels in silver??? WTF...... They still look sexy

Awesome 😍

I've got a 2008 Accord EX-L V6 with Nav. Basically, top of the line...and I absolutely hate it! Honda has lost my interest now and forever!

Just wait for the Hondata Flash. Type R Accord.

He's right on about the steering. Terrible feel.

I think Honda does not want their cars to last more than 10 yrs and that is why they switched the engine to turbo.....

WHY did they have to change up the exterior look? Absolutely horrendous. From 2013-2017 the accord was, in my opinion, stunning. Now? Ew.

Awesome car

Fast supporting faster car Honda ever built

Why am I laughing so hard at this stupid jokes. Good job sir.

Japanese Audi A7

Honda should have done a long LED H across the back as the tail light. 6 design options > l----------------------l (-----------------) )----------( {-------------} }------------{ /------------/(slant other way) < would look marvelous at night especially in Platinum white. PICK ONE HONDA cuz the rear doesn't look to nice

"The Granite State" - The joke is funny once, don't milk it, it gets tedious.

The front bumper grill is too exposed. Lots of bug will go in and they will stick on that white color radiation cooling system.

Too stiff in sport mode??? That’s the point of sport mode.... not everyone who buys an accord has a fat wife and three sticky kids. Some of us want performance when we want it and comfort other times. Jeez complain about something that works fine..

Great looking car; I just wish that the hood bulge wasn't as big as Rihanna's forehead.

Easily this car wins over the Camry. Exterior is much more elegant and the interior is gorgeous.

Clean Accord = Confusing Camry

RIP Ford Fusion

very sad Accord not in EU, lucky Americans

Like the alloys on the sport version. Overall I like the car.. it's safer design than Toyota Camry

Rock mineral jokes, hehehehe.

Too much zany or a failed attempt at zany?

WHO’S JANET!?!?!?

I'll take a Nissan Maxima SR instead.

This is what a professional car review looks and sounds like. MAGA 2020

Unfortunately, your channel has lost it's way. There is just too much competition that does it better. Good luck.

They managed to make a front grill worse than their Acura and even Lexus's. wtf...

The 2018 accord 2.0 turbo is much faster than the 2017 accord V6.

Camry looking nicer than the accord

Honda 4 lyfe

looks boring need more mods

Lost me at "Earth Dreams Technology." Who comes up with this shit?

Boring interior. Front end is not great that rear end no one can say looks good. The fact you got to praise it for having a tuning knob is sad. Sport XSE Camry gets my money

i voted this down for the awful rock "humor"!
