The 10th generation Honda Accord has been making waves in the automotive industry. The midsize sedan market has many entrants but this, and the Toyota Camry, are the segment leaders in terms of sales.
I reviewed the Honda Accord Touring 1.5 last year and thought it was brilliant, the largest issue I had with the car was the looks. I don't think I will ever see this car as good looking. But, the design of the car is only judged based upon the individual looking at it.
The press car I have is the top of the line, the Touring with the 252hp 2.0L turbocharged 4-cyclinder uses a 10 speed auto and in this spec, costs CAD$40, 671.

TheDriveGuyde So, is it better than 1.5t Accord?

@Greybush46322 4 года назад

You had me up to the "not a pretty car" comment. I know I'm watching this 2 years after the fact, but come on! The Accord is the best looking mid-size sedan in North America! I dropped Chevy after 25 years of commitment to get me a 2020 Accord. It took a really special car to make that happen.

@webcomment8895 5 лет назад

@@efthimios That was true in the 90's. Honda is no longer neck and neck with Toyota for reliability. It's dropped down the list and has been overtaken by many other now more reliable brands. Toyota/Lexus manages to stay on top, but Honda let their quality and reliability slip. Taking a chance with a turbo Honda is risky.

Well done mate, however, I would have compared the Accord with the BMW 5 series and MB E Class. Not 3 series & C class. The reason is the Accord, 5 series and the E class are all mid-sized sedans, but the C, 3 series are compact or small-size sedans.

We are looking at the Accord // Touring // 2.0 and 1.5 for the 2018 year..... we have looked at the prices and it seems like 2019 doesn't have a 1.5 option. Is there any reason engine or parts wise for fixing the 1.5 would be an issue? Your thoughts ????

@maxlandireviews 5 лет назад

It appears that the smaller engines have been burning through more oil and causing some reliability woes. Honda appears to be on aware of the issue but if you're looking at the 2L anyways, that may be the safer bet at this moment in time

@eddevellis258 6 лет назад

The engine sound you are hearing is artificially piped in through the vehicles speakers, similar to what BMW, Ford and other manufactures do with turbo 4,s since they dont sound very tough compared to v-6 and v-8s. Hopefully the new powertrain wont have any direct injection carbon build up issues, and prove to be as reliable as the old v-6, we will give Honda the benefit of the doubt for now.

@JayRM714 5 лет назад

@juanplus3324 5 лет назад

I went for the 1.5 mainly for the price tag. $22.5K. you can eliminate the "rubber band" effect of the CVT by using the paddle shifter. I found it useful when passing someone on the freeway. Even in a normal mode you can downshift once if you need the extra umph then it will go back to D mode automatically without upshifting! You can thank me.

@maxlandireviews 6 лет назад

If you want all of the goodies, I recommend the 1.5L. The engine won't be as exciting as the 2.0L, but I do believe it's a likeable car in any configuration. Will you have the car as an auto or a stick?

@miltonbernal7344 6 лет назад

It has to be automatic, and that's other thing i don't trust to much the CVT transmission but you said is a really good one, i prefer something with gears like the 10 speed, but i don't mind to have a CVT as long as don't brake or has to put a new one lol

@maxlandireviews 6 лет назад

Take the CVT for a test drive, if you like it, I say make the move on that one. I don’t honk you can go wrong at all with this new accord!

@AashimGupta15 6 лет назад

Thanks for the review. You didn't directly recommend your choice between the 1.5T and 2.0T. Do you think that the 2.0T justifies the extra money given that it has lower fuel economy as well.

@maxlandireviews 6 лет назад

Between the 2 engines, I enjoyed my time more with the 2.0 but I found the 1.5 more impressive. I personally do a LOT of highway miles, so the fuel efficiency is a large contributing factor in my car life. The 2.0 is a $3000 upgrade so I know I will get more out of the 1.5 within that additional fuel money. But don’t get me wrong, I like/dislike both powertrains for different reasons. That’s why I kept my thoughts out of the video, haha

@AashimGupta15 6 лет назад

Thank you. Makes sense. I have a similar situation with a lot of miles every year It is heartening to know that you found the 1.5T impressive despite it having less power. Interestingly, have you driven the Toyota Camry 2018? I was curious to know your opinion of performance comparison between the Accord's 1.5T vs Camry 2018's 2.4 NA.

@maxlandireviews 6 лет назад

I have driven the 2018 Camry, as the I4 and the V6. I would take the accord over the Camry as I really prefer the interior of the Honda. I found that with my SE Camry, the transmission was a bit clunky from time to time and that had the eight speed

@AashimGupta15 6 лет назад

TheDriveGuyde - thank you again. So I guess you prefer the Accord's performance and drive over the Camry. Wanted to thank you for the channel and all the hard work doing these videos. Such unbiased reviews are invaluable for consumers like us who are looking to make a buying decision.

@maxlandireviews 6 лет назад

Another factor for my preference to the Accord is the touchscreen and the UI. One of the best in the auto world and I personally use Apple CarPlay A LOT. You won't be disappointed with either car but have a look at my reviews of the other accord and Camry and see what you think! Thanks for your kind words, it makes everything worth it!

I've driven nothing but Honda/Acura V6 models since 2002. Love the V6 and wouldn't even consider another 4 cylinder car until now. This 2.0T is awesome! Driving a '16 TLX V6 Advance now but could totally see myself driving the 2.0T Accord. Do I get another TLX V6 or the Accord 2.0T? Tough decision.

@maxlandireviews 4 года назад

I think you’ll notice a real improvement for Honda when you test an Accord. I personally don’t think the same can be said for the TLX

@a32tl 3 года назад

I made my decision last week. Picked up a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T with 7k miles on it. I like the car a lot but I will have to say it is going to take some getting used to. It's a totally different driving experience than a naturally aspirated V6. I will likely keep the car 15-20 months and then get back into an Acura. I want a TLX Type S very badly!

Being made of a diesel-like compacted graphite iron for starters increases reliability tenfold.

Go and ask Semi drivers who have more than a million miles on their original Honeywell turbo systems

Honda performance guys prefer the 1.5. It can be modified with less worry and the 2.0 has a history of blown head gaskets. Personally, with the turbo and all the electronic gadgets, I don't expect the latest generation Accord to last as long, and be as reliable, as the old ones. I have owned a 1986, 2006, and now a 2019 Accord.

@2.0taccord 3 года назад

This is a new design and a first for turbo charging besides the K23 in the Acura RDX. Furthermore the K series uses MLS head gaskets which on ANY vehicle aren't prone for failure. Secondly the performance "guys" are using the higher output 2.0T because it has more headroom for power and has the Civic type R turbo swap for opportunity.

Like I said before, I also own a Toyota and a Honda. Only time I comment is when I see the same people saying the same exact thing over and over again. (Hence the name Troll Patrol) the bias people show actually makes a manufacturer and their fan base look bad. I think you have a hard time seeing that. Either way, I'm just being honest here and not trying to offend. Take what you want from it. I personally like Toyota just as much as I do Honda. Me commenting and going against Toyota just shows how far people will go to try to defend the brand. Good day.
