The New 2023 Honda Accord Is a Great Sedan in an SUV World 

I love when Doug reviews average cars!!!

Nice to see Honda is still making the Accord. It’s a highly competent, efficient, good looking, sedan. Thank you Honda!

These regular/average car reviews are so much more exciting to click on because I can actual afford this car and want to buy this. Like I was genuinely more engaged watching this over some of your other cars. Thank you for doing these boring cars!

I'm a salesperson at honda and after so many happy customers, had to get my own accord, I love it! It's comfy and smooth over bumps and the gas mileage is amazing. Can't complain at all. I got my 2023 accord in radiant red with a black interior. It's a sweet ride

When I see an adult driving an Accord, I’ve learned to see it as a sign of success. Most people I know who drive Accords are higher net-worth than the ones driving Porsches and Mercedes.

Yesterday I managed to average 52.9mpg on mine, its crazy. IMO this is a way better purchase than a prius because of the comfort & tons of space both inside & in the giant trunk.

I have a 2023 Accord Hybrid touring trim and I absolutely love it. I love the way this new generation looks from the outside, I much prefer the simple mature look. The ride in the Hybrid is so smooth and super quiet, plus I'm only going to the gas station once a month. Also fyi; you can customize the gauge cluster to either a round setup or a bar setup.

I've owned 86, 91, 96, 2002 Accords and loved them all. My 02 was written off after a crash at 220K from new with basically original parts. Been rocking a 2003 TL-S for the last 8 years without complaints either. Love Honda.

One thing I appreciate on this generation of Hondas is that they've kept controls simple. They haven't replaced physical buttons with captive touch systems or done things like made the climate control something that is run through a touch screen. The new Hondas can be learned in seconds by just about anyone which is not something you can say about many of today's overtly complex cars.

The Honda Accord holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first car I’ve ever driven. Glad to see the newest iteration being reviewed here.

The accord is simply one of the most humble cars out there. Nobody raves about them by any means but it’s simply a great car for the value for the price of average new cars nowadays. I had a 2014 (9th gen) that was a 4 door stick shift and I miss that car dearly.

I know that lots of people don't like the new Accord but I personally think it is absolutely beautiful and looks so good!

Doug, I can speak for some of us (your viewers) when I say that we appreciate your reviews and perspectives on "boring" cars. If you're not going to be the one to cover these types of cars in the future then ideally someone on your team does.

The Accord came out in 1976 and immediately became a hit because of the value proposition. All the things that were typically options on American cars.....power windows, tinted glass, tachometer, console, etc....were standard on the Accord hatchback. I ordered one at about $4300 as I recall, in the days when dealers did not add "market adjustments" on high-demand cars. After a couple of months, I got tired of waiting and bought a used 1973 Porsche 911T for $6800 instead. I eventually got my Honda's, first one being a 1981 Civic Wagon, then a 1986 Civic Si, then a 1988 Accord 4 door sedan. All great cars.

The 2.0t turbo was a great motor…test drove a 21 touring and was amazed.

I love my 23 Accord. It's my first car and I bought it with my own money. The sports mode is mostly just a transmission setting that keeps the rpms up. I think it's a bit fun to drive fast since I think the handling is better than you would expect.

I love the Accord. My family also switched to SUVs/CUVs sadly, but the Accord was the only sedan in consideration - every time. It's such a great bench mark. I see myself retiring with one when I don't need the extra room. Honda - don't give up on this great car!

The midsize sedan lives on. 98% of people need nothing more than this.

I love my accord. Last year 8th gen, top trim, and it’s perfect. Good sound system, super comfortable with plenty of leather, tons of space, and with a little apple car play replacement and a backup camera it’s basically the perfect car for me. Not to mention the styling was great and has shared super well

To be honest I have been getting tired of all the over styled vehicles being released the last few years so I really appreciate Honda kinda going back to simpler, beautiful subdued designs with their newest vehicles. I think they all look great.

I just bought a '23 Hybrid Touring. I love it. Savagegeese called it an "AI-designed sedan" and yeah I can pretty much agree with it. That's the thing, I wanted my daily to be as practical, efficient, reliable as could be. While there's nothing crazy about it, it's so painfully competent I have a hard time complaining about the lack of flair, there is nothing that upsets me at any time about the vehicle, it just works, and it does it well. Sound system is nice, seats are comfy, mileage is great, hybrid powertrain has more than enough oomph in traffic, steering is relatively heavy and has feedback, infotainment is essentially flawless. Digital gauges are cool, configurable but not insane, I get maps in the gauges and a head up display that works well. Maybe my only complaint is that the wireless charger is a bit finicky as far as positioning goes, but it still works, just have to watch to make sure it doesn't move off the pad. Could use a larger barrier. Also, I've gotten several nods from Dads in their Accords, so that's a perk of dubious but amusing value

7:00 I think one of the quirks you could have mentioned is the size of the rear badge. Almost every manufacturer seems to be going bigger and bigger with their badges (or spelling out their name), but this accords badge is so small! I really like smaller rear design on this accord

After having driven for about a couple of weeks, I just love it. Not much enthusiastic, but excellent day-mover. Only turn-down is the horribly low passenger seat (had to buy a seat cushion for my spouse).

Love to see a car that looks clean. Love the styling. I missed the mk6 Jetta styling and now we have a car that adequately replaces it. Nothing offensive or ugly, just a solid clean car. The Accord is the gold standard against which all other daily driver cars must be compared. If I didn't drive around in a 30 year old super luxury sedan, I would love to daily an Accord.

I actually see these new Accords very often, so that is a very impressive fate in an SUV world after all

The brake lights in the instrument cluster are so nice I wish every car had that. It may not be useful to many people, but I'm kinda self conscious about brake lights especially with ACC or regen lighting them up automatically. Being such a simple feature I can't imagine it would need any significant development either

Great video. I've had mine for about 5 months now. The gauge cluster is actually very customizable, and I really like the individual mode where you can program the way the car handles and drives to your liking. I know you didn't have a lot of time with the car, but having had the previous generation of the same trim and hybrid, this one is MUCH more refined.

I always loved how the modern accord looks. It’s simple, elegant, and just what you need. I have a focus currently, and yes I love it, but something bigger just like this is what I love!

This is one of my favorite new vehicles. Any time I see someone driving an Accord I think “Wise choice.”

Doug the kind of guy to have his 40th Birthday Party at Chuck E. Cheese.

I just bought one of these and they are nice. I’m kind of surprised Doug didn’t talk about the superior build quality of this car more. Nothing in this car rattles or shakes at all which is a testament to how seamlessly Honda puts its cars together. It’s really up there with the best of them. So glad Doug did this as I think these types of reviews are most relatable to the average viewer. I also own a 4 cyl. ‘17 accord with almost 200k miles on it already and no major repairs to it. These cars just don’t die. Thanks Doug!

I did not like this new design at first, but I gotta say it looks great. Definitely grew on me. It has to be the touring trim though with those wheels. Almost resembles an Audi A7. My buddy just picked one of these hybrid Tourings up in like a slate matte grey color. Its bad ass. Heated rear seats and everything. I might trade my E350 coupe for one lol

Still driving my 03 V6 6 Speed. It’s just an Accord but I smile every time I drive it!

I bought a '24 Accord Touring back in September and I just love it. A great feature is the Blind Spot Indicator (BSI). I wish that Doug would have mentioned it.

I’ve seen the new Honda accord all over the place, it’s beautiful! I must say Ford and Honda make the nicest looking cars these days imo.

I believe the brake lights and turn signals light up in the dash when being used to show the driver if the light has gone out. It's hard to notice rear lights when they go out when driving as you're never back there to see them unless you turn on your hazards and walk around the car to see. In the past and even still, most automakers added a feature where the turn signal light blinks twice as fast to indicate that one of the turn signal lights has burned out. but with the display, you can know if it's the front or rear

1:14 That Accord has the same license plate as the current one on that Doug review :O

2007 Accord Euro 2.4 now 330,000km. (TSX I think in your land) Owned for 13 years. Still love it! The last of the best.

I really needed this today ty doug!

I got the 2.0t 6spd xgen accord and every enthusiast should grab that over this new gen. Very similar tech, better styling (subjective), and more engaging drive. This seems to hit the general audience and i love the fuel efficiency, but that old 2.0t powertrain is just too nice (and far more reliable than the 1.5t)

It's always funny to see that a 200hp engine feels underpowered to Doug 😀 Most cars I drive have about half that, and they're absolutely fine

I love the new accord styling so much its super sleek, honestly the whole lineup 2023 honda has are all outstanding forsure CRVs even look pretty good now. Hyundai and Honda are 2 brands to me that came to the plate recently and hit home run after home run. Accord is gonna be a cool VIP build platform just like the last gen n im all for it, jus waiting to see one🔥💯

i love this car. i just got it 2 weeks ago brand new, it was the last 2023 on the lot and i got it for slightly under MSRP. so far ive been getting 30 miles per gallon combined. great car.

That thing is Huge!! As a driver of an almost 30yr old probe gt, I can attest to the amount of SUV's on the road....I often feel like a minnow in a sea of massive pickups and SUV's!

The outgoing 2.0T Sport was surprisingly fun to drive, very planted and settled when chucking it around some twisty backcountry highway at a high rate of speed.

My 93 accord has 59k miles on it and has never let me down!

Great review! I am planning to get a new car soon and have been looking at Honda Accords. This was very helpful. It is interesting that you mentioned the popularity of SUV now because I wanted to go for a truck at first but then I realized I don't really need an SUV. Ill be checking out Honda Accords for my new car.

This car is exactly what you expect an Accord to be, a simple car that'll just do the job. Idk why people expect a sports car out of it 😂

when i have trouble sleeping i watch doug review a honda accord. knocks me right out

I hate seeing the accord slip away. I've owned multiple accords. Almost every generation. I love them. By far the bast car for the money. I have a 2020 accord sport 2.0 manual in my sights for the next build. Buy more accords people, keep them going!!

I test drove most if not all the available sedans in this market segment before deciding on this Accord Touring model. None of them came close to the refinement of both the interior and exterior and polished powertrain in this new 11th gen Accord. Accelerating is effortless, buttery smooth and ultra quiet. The infotainment screen is one of the best (if not the best) in a sub-40K dollar car. It leads nearly all the safety categories in IIHS testing among its peers. And, it achieves some of the highest efficiency ratings from any mid size vehicle being produced today. My wife drives ours and is getting 55-57 MPG over the last 10K miles, most of which are city. This new Accord is as close to an all electric vehicle without ever having to plug in. Again, I test drove every available brand in this price range and had a smile on my face only after getting into this Accord.

I've had my 2018 Accord Touring ever since it came out and it's still the best and most reliable car I've known! It's about the comfort and gas milage, we don't need sporty and that's what's great!

to be honest, the civic grew a lot in terms of size over the years and people are happy with it. dont need no accord if anything you need can be found on a modern civic as well. and a bonus is that the civic has a cult following, its fun to drive, its youthfull and even cheaper

I’ve still got my 1999 Honda Accord EX sedan with the v6 and the performance package that was installed from the dealer. It’s such a fun little car with the v6 and VTEC. It’s got every factory option available on it. It’s probably not going to be a collectors car but I’ll still hang on to it because there nothing like the sound and power from the 3.0 v6.

Well he just described the Accord exactly as I've described it from day one. As long as you drive straight and level, its among the most reliable cars ever made.

Glad they are still making the Accord. I felt the Accord was always the best in its class. Just felt more special while also being understated. I have a 2008 coupe with 220,000 miles. Only done basic maintenance and replaced Common wear items.

the "Great Sedan in an SUV World" title is really good, where and when did the tables turn to end up here

Great review of a practical, attainable car. I understand the American public has steered towards the tall boxy wagons (SUV's) but the base model Accord is really all you need for daily commuting. Not flashy but good cars.

I love these regular reviews! I also love the accord, I’ve always thought it had a similar look to the A7 and it was great cuz I’d come closer to buying an Accord than an A7 hahaha

Imagine this Accord, slightly higher off the ground, and a station wagon. How great that car would be.

Arguably one of the nicest looking cars in its price point, i’ve seen a few on the road now and the rear-end reminds me of an Audi

I love my 2012 Honda Accord LX. Has ZERO bells and whistles, but runs the same as the day I got it. Great car.

i think it’s a great review, did a test drive myself and felt the same way about the car. The only difference with my take was it was really loud driving on the highway. didn’t even think about the blind spot monitoring and i really have to agree with his take on this.

In my opinion the car looks great, inside and outside. I like the redesign. It reminds me to the Peogeot 508, or the Opel (Vauxhall, or whatever you call it in the U.S^^) Insignia. Pretty clean and modern design. There is no unnecessary overstyling which I really enjoy. It makes this car appear much more serious.

This is truly one of the car designs of all time.

I find the design very attractive without it being weird or ridiculous. It's a really good looking car - and it's certainly more interesting than the 50th Porsche that looks the same and has a 6-figure price tag that hardly anyone can or wants to afford. At least this car many people can actually buy and use.

My 2017 Accord (first car) is still going strong for 6 years now. What a beast

In person, it’s a great looking car. The interior is a masterpiece. The power is more than adequate. If Honda tames the road noise, the Accord will be a Legend.

My dad owned a 91 and 92 accord when I was younger. My older bro had a 02 accord out of hs. Great vehicles that will never let you down. This new model is a beautiful looking sedan.

Growing up my mother had a '86 Accord for 10 years. My step father had a '94 Accord. Both were manual transmission. Solid reliable cars. I grew into a Honda driver as an adult. Although I also developed a passion for Ford 302's, when I heard my first fox body...

10th Gen 2.0T. Best body style ever on an Accord, 10 speed trans and the ability to smoke people at will.

I recently purchased a 2022 Honda Accord sport 1.5. It has been nothing short as spectacular.. it’s sporty fun, beautiful to look at. I’m very happy with it.

The Accord was a hot car in the early 90s. Very nible and fast car. That's when they made it both two door and 4 door. I'm really not an SUV person at all. I came up with some of the best "cars" that were made. Back when you could feel the road through the steering.. And the engine power through your seat. Not moved by the "design ", but it's a sedan, someone will come up with custom versions of it with better performance.. They always did with Hondas.

Best review ever. I love it when you review bland average cars and clearly go out of your comfort zone. This is the people's review a la Volkswagen DeMuro edition..Fantastic, thank you!

my black 2014 Accord is a hand-me-down from my Mom . it’s a very agile and sensitive car that is capable of tight turns . when i first drove it , i was amazed at how fast lane changes were , coupling with the side view camera , it was a nice added touch . i’d drive around at night with that thing on just for the fun of it . and it’s very convenient since most of the drivers in my area drive with no lights on at night … the static picks up forms of cars perfectly , for me . this car is gonna forever stay in the family . it’s just 3k away from hitting 100k miles , it has so much dents from being parked next to assholes with no eyes . some fucker put hot wax on the left passenger door and some girl stopped behind me at a red light , got onto her phone and took her foot off the brake and punctured my bumper with her fucking license plate screws .

I wish they would reintroduce the accord crosstour. It might be a good fit in today's market. Also I miss the old school acura zdx it was ahead of it times with the fast back trunk style

Doug, we love you Doug

The Accord is hands down the best sedan you can get for the money. Miss my 2018; it wasn't flashy but it ran well and was extremely comfortable when I had to do 10 hour road trips. Amazing bang per buck when compared to other sedans in this price segment.

Great car to get from Point A to Point B. It serves its purpose and serves it well. Always has and always will

I use doug's channel to obtain up to date car information as a petrolhead as well as learning fluent and eloquent English. feel exuberant every time a new vis is released

Honda lane watch not being proliferated or improved upon by Honda is a prime example in my mind of the Japanese companies getting lazy and complacent, allowing for the sudden come up of the Korean brands. 100% agree the Hyundai/Kia blind spot monitor should be as ubiquitous as back up cameras at this point.

Manual knobs and dials for the win!! I wish every manufacturer would do it for the most important and basic functions. I don't want to have a crash while searching for a digital tap target with my eyes.

I just took delivery on my 2023 Accord touring. I get around 38mpg on sports mode, 43-44mpg on normal mode and 51mpg in bumper to bumper Chicago traffic on Econ mode. I do plan on posting a review of it very soon :)

I already have a sedan, and if I think about a change, I'll get a sedan. I love Sedans

As a new Hybrid accord owner I was looking forward to this day but never realistically expected Doug to review such a dad car

never thought doug was such a down to earth guy

Driving a 10th gen Accord Sport with the 1.5L Turbo 4, and it makes me quite happy. Wish I had the 2.0L engine, but the 1.5L matches the power of my old Maxima, so it's fast enough for my purposes. It's a solid car that will last until your grandkids are getting their learner's permits if you take care of it. I'd agree with Doug that the new gen Accord doesn't look quite as striking visually, but it's still good looking. Kind of gives off the same vibe as the pair of jeans you wear the most. They may not look anything special, but they can look good with almost anything in your closet, and they get the job done every time.

As the satisfied owner of a '21 Accord Touring 2.0T, I had very high hopes for the all new '23 model. Boy, was I ever disappointed. It's not that the new Accord is a terrible car, because it isn't. It just has a totally different mission now compared to my car and offers no passion in driving. My '21 2.0T is powerful and incredibly fun to drive. I really wish that Honda offered the 2.0T in the new car. Yes, the fuel economy is stellar but I would much rather have the performance and power of my '21. When it's time for me to replace my '21, I think I'm going to have to pass on the newer Accord. I've been a loyal customer of Honda/Acura since 1985.

So nice seeing simpler designs. These are the cars that will age the best.

I like that you can display the navigation and the radio on the same screen at the same time. Or the compass and the radio. One of my biggest complaints of my 2018 Accord was that you couldn’t display the radio station at the same time the navigation was displayed on the infotainment screen.

I see doug been to the 9:30 club. Brought a lot of bands there to play... Legendary

Doug is the type of guy that has a carrera gt shaped cookie cutter

if only they still offered the 2.0t, it’s so fun to drive

I learned to drive on a v6 manual accord, that accord was pretty fun! still I love them since they're so utilitarian. if you want a car that will run cheaply for forever, get an accord.

I'm kinda on the fence about increased driver assist technology like blindspot cameras. It often means new drivers don't develop the basic skills required to safely control the vehicle they're operating. Too much dependency on available 'safety features' and driver assist tends to have people focusing on things inside the car instead of looking outside and actually driving. It also makes them terrible drivers when they're in a different vehicle without those same features, and aren't used to physically checking their blindspots or for pedestrians crossing.

My first car was an old 86 accord. That cr was "fun" because it had no right going as fast (not quick) on a highway.

I've got a 20202l Accord. I plan on keeping it until 2026-27. By then I will update to a newer Accord. These cars are amazing.

I was in love with the 97 SuperTourer Accord when I was a kid.

Crying shame. The last two accord generations would have made for some handsome coupes.

People do complain about this car losing the 2.0T, but the take rate of the 2.0T on the previous gen was extremely low. It just wasn't worth certifying it. The hybrid had a higher take rate so that's what they focused on.
