I think a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouths when it comes to CVTs mainly thanks to Nissan and their junk JATCO CVTs. From everything I've heard, Honda seems to have the best CVTs on the market. I've been offered a 2014 Honda Accord for below KBB value and I think I'm gonna go for it.

Best generation in Honda’s modern age for sure. Had all the characteristics of peak Hondas, imo. Honda get rid of the sideview camera because they started offering blind spot assistance, though Kia offers both in some models and the camera has both sides while Honda only gave you the right side, and I say this as a longtime Honda owner.

the facelift of this generation is one of the best cars ever made imo, great tech and great looks

I owned a 2014 Accord EX-L 4 cyl and loved it. Honestly wish I never sold it. It was definitely peak Honda. Great tech for the money and cheap to maintain. I remember oil changes only costing $35-40 at the dealer and getting 28-30 mpg combined

The V6 is a crazy beast. My brother has the 2014 of model & it’s been super reliable. Of course I make sure to perform all maintenance on it without fail.

I was looking for long term reviews for this specific engine. Perfect timing

Very, very reliable car. I have over 250k on mine and has had almost 0 issues

I’ve got a 17 sedan touring I bought new. Definitely my favorite accord ever made. Tons of power and awesome gas mileage to boot

I love my 2014 Accord EXL. And love the CD player.

My grandparents own a 2014 sport they bought brand new and it now has 174k miles on it, it's been an amazing car and have had little to no problems out of it

I own a 2014 sport and its awesome. I upgraded the paddle shifters to a much bigger grip with a red finish.

My daughter and I both drive 2013 Accord EX sedans with the 2.4L. I've had mine since 2017 and she got hers two years ago after we sold an old 2002 EX Accord sedan. So far, these cars have been great. Mine is nearing 80k mi and hers just hit 115k. I will admit I do miss the traditional automatic transmission and the double wishbone suspension that our 6th gen had, but the 9th gen still packs a pretty solid and comfortable ride. ❤️

Shout out to Robert for that easter egg, even the lowest LX trim which I have and the rear camera does stay on! In the 8 years of this car being in the family, this is the first time I heard and saw this! Saves me the trouble for getting a dash for the rear

14' LX 203,000 miles, lowered on coilovers, has been nothing but good to me to this day.

I have a 2013 Honda Accord LX-S imo The best looking honda. The new brz/frs looks just like it in a way and also has a nsx look to it. gotta love it

I wish you would test a current, pre-2023, 2.0 L turbo, 2018-2022 Accord (I have a Touring model) since that engine will no longer be available in the Accord.

2:13 Honda had a few cars with CVTs before the 9th generation Accord (like the 6th generation Civic HX and the first generation HR-V),but it was this one that made CVTs popular across their lineup. A year after the 9th generation Accord entered production, both the Civic and CR-V got CVTs.

The accord Sport looks even better and love its sportier suspension!

I bought my 2014 LX used and the previous owner had a tow hitch attached, I never took it off so it’s still there haha.

just got a 2014 accord lx-s cvt coupe, very nice

I bought arguably the most rare models of this generation new, 2016 4dr 4cyl with 6mt. Had to twist the dealers arm to get one for me. Best car I've ever owned.

I have the 2015 Accord Sport. Love it, love it, love it. With the paddle shifters you can down shift and pop the RPM up. You can activate a manual shift mode but its not a true manual Obviously but its fun for a gamer like me who likes Sim racing.

Call me crazy, but the look of the 90's Civics/Corollas/Camrys was just so cool. I even think some of the mid-late 80's designs for both are just timeless now. I don't mind newer car styling, but it all kind of blends together.

I have a 2014 Accord EX-L 4 cylinder in the same color (Modern Steel Metallic). SO MANY people bought the same car... I have accidentally tried to open other people's cars in parking lots a few times! Mine has nearly 140K miles, and the only problem I've had is a valve cover gasket leak. I was leery of the CVT when I first bought it, but now I actually like it. For a modern economy-minded car like this one, it's a great match. Honda's CVT's respond quickly, and they've been reliable. You just have to get used to your engine sounding like an outboard motor at times. Didn't know they used different CVT's through the 9th gen's run!

I have this model but the higher trim package. There’s an annoying delay in the Bluetooth that is super annoying when watching videos and such

Great Video

I got the 2015 with the v6 and 6 speed auto in that exact color

well dam now i want a 9th gen

Great review! I’m considering a 2015 accord sport. I’m a little hesitant because of the CVT transmission. It’s going for 9,000 with 100k miles. Should I just send it?

Great video man.. not sure if you did the 2017 accord sport before ,but I’ll like to see that as well

Had a friend who had a 2016 Accord EXL and I agree this is the best looking Accord out there to this day. I wanted one so bad until the current generation Camry came out… now I’m driving a 2019 Camry SE but the 9th generation Accord is still a close 2nd for me.

This is the only car I would've own it Zack.

I think the 7th Gen was the peak. This coming as I sold my 2006 for a 2015. Yes the 2015 is a V6 coupe 6 speed and obviously feels great.. but there's a few things Honda cheeped out on compared to the 7th.

Hey, good overall review my man. I am a Honda Accord enthusiast and have owned several over the years, my first being at 1981 Accord sedan. It was a decent car but had transmission and head gasket issues. Honda has come a long way since then. My daily driver is a 2017 Accord V6 Touring, I really wanted the last V6 Honda offered and I love the power, ride quality and features. Not really sure why you seem to be disappointed with the 9th gen CVT. I just bought my son a 2013 Accord LX, 4 cyl, CVT and it seems to have great acceleration for it's size, no issues at all when passing on the highway, and of course great gas mileage. Of course it's not a high performance vehicle, but it's not designed to be. I would highly recommend a 4-cylinder Accord with CVT to anyone! As a side note, I think most folks would agree that car reviews are much better when the vehicle is clean inside and out. The vehicle does not need to be show car detailed, but it is nice to see a vehicle without the owners personal items left inside, dirty motor etc. Thanks again.😀✌🏼

You got to try the manual version. I have the 6 speed Accord coupe 9th gen and the gearbox is the best one I've tried. Even compared to stuff like the ND Miata, Toyota 86, and Camaros/Corvettes I've tried. The coupe body style is also gorgeous. This one looks great too, and has aged very well, but the 9th gen coupe is one of the prettiest Hondas, imo.

I had a 2014 4cyl cvt and loved it. Of course the engine rpm stays relatively constant while accelerating. That's the entire point of a cvt. After being used to a cvt one wonders why the engine has to Rev up over and over again. Other than for higher performance applications, I believe a cvt is far superior to a geared transmission since they are obviously more efficient. Nice to see the cloth interior. I much prefer cloth to leather. Cloth just seems warmer and more inviting

The camera trick is not for towing it’s for watching me gap my friends 😅

5:00 nahh bro that's for the flames

Now do the Accord Sport w/ 6 sp manual w/ dual exhausts. 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and over 43 mpg on the hwy giving it over 600 miles of range.

Isn’t me or is this generation is a slight rehash of the 8th generation?

2014 was before radar or adaptive cruise control became a standard safety feature

I love my 15 touring hybrid. 223k miles and going strong.

Nice review! I agree with everything you said..reliable and good looking car! The looks is kind of like a modernized 1998 model, which I like. I daily drive one of these in the base model LX 6 speed manual and no complaints..except that the engine is GDI.

I have the V6, only way to go..put an inline transmission filter on it and trans is fine

My 2014 Sport has 216,000K. Wonderful car, no rattles, tight handling, smooth and secure.

I honestly can’t believe this is a 9 year old car, I remember seeing the commercials for it with the father and where daughter being all rude and he was watching her in the camera.

I think that’s a 2014 Honda accord problem because I had a throttle body issue with mine as well

i have a 2013 sport with the rare 6 speed in the sedan id love for u to review it

My mom got a sport same year she loves it I didn’t know they have a cvt 🤦‍♂️

Sir, thank you for the review. I own a ‘13 Touring MT white 64000kms. Cdn edition. Never driven during the winter. Nothing to regret so far. Engine is so easy to maintain the only maintenance I’ve done was to upgrade the battery. Very comfy. No Accords beat the 9th gen. A CVT I would not touch it even though they are installed in almost every cars nowadays.as well I find too much plastic inside the car. Well Honda had to cut costs somewhere. Excellent review . Cheers from Montreal.

I'm far more partial to the pop-up headlight Accords, but...

This car is my next car I want for me.

Toyota doesn't have blind camera. I think it should be part of the safety sense package that most manufactures offer

I’m having a bad experience with the Gear system 😢😢😢

I own a beautiful 2014 Honda Accord V-6 with all the bells and whistles like a luxury vehicle ❤️

No this aint the best generation..coz they ditched the double wishbone and really hard to get V6 with manual

The pair of cupholders look like the Nvidia 30 and 40 series FE GPUs

I have a 2014 Acord Sport and it has been great so far, but the when the AC is on it makes a sound or movement that is noticeable. I owned a 1990 civic and it did the same. Does anyone else have the same problem with their Hondas?

Starter @160K, Headlights and sun shade @ 170K ,Spark plugs and Coil covers @ 190K. Just oil and maintenance. Great car

😂 I was about to come to the cb7 defense and you brought it up. I love that the accord grille shape has remained the same. I think another generation did it better than this one. More stately and sleek without being Cadillac gaudy and over the top chiseled

What model is this?

🔥🔥

Can confirm best car ever owned. Best everyday driver around . 207k miles. Alternator @ 90k, starter @ 160k. Brakes and fluids. So good can't even say it enough.

I would daily the shit outta this car.

I bought a '95 Accord 5-speed brand new and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. Lost interest in Accords as they changed over the years. They were exciting in the early/mid 90s but became boring after that.

Good to know the seats are comfy, 7th gen cloth is awful

Wow 👍

How much hp

160MPH speedometer is optimistic. I hate when cars have overly optimistic speedometers because half of it is wasted on a daily basis. I'd rather have it go up to 100 or even 85 to offer more resolution for daily speeds. Plus, no Accord is going to hit 160.

Far from the best gen Accord. The best were the Accord Type R 99 - 02, Accord Euro R/CL7/CL9, and most recently the Accord Sport 2.0T. C'mon man.

They live or die by the cvt, well the latter.

The beat gen un Accord's Is the 8th gen 2.4 L. No CVT, No GDI, yes NA, yes timing CHAIN.

Those earth dreams 2.4l engines are not as reliable as the previous k24 engines.

This the best? Absolutely not. The 1990-1993 CB7 Accord is the best Accord. Probably won't ever be beaten.
