When you were doing those acceleration tests, were you in Sport mode? Wondering if that engine acceleration noise/fake shifts includes the fake audio system piped in noise? (like on Acuras and BMWs)

@MattTheCarguy Жыл бұрын

Yes, I was in sport mode.I think all of them are speaker enhanced now especially with better sound insulation. I should be doing another hybrid soon to confirm.

@michaelgarza8861 Жыл бұрын

Debating between this and the touring. I feel like this has great value since the sport L has plenty of options. How good is the Bose on this model ? That’s really what I’m torn between. I love good audio but not sure if it’s worth the extra cost.

@MattTheCarguy Жыл бұрын

I likes the sound of vose but I am not very picky kf it comes to stereo systems, but definitely sound better than standard Honda one.

@darthdorkimusprime7231 Жыл бұрын

The radio is fine in the other models, but the Bose is mind blowing in comparison. My buddy has a 16 Civic with the Bose and we both agree this new one blows it away.

I just got a black EX 2 weeks ago and I love it. Personally I like it way better than the previous models because of its uniqueness and it looks more sportier. My favorite part is the thin headlights and front grill. I think people are disliking it not because they think it’s ugly but because it’s so unexpected and different, but to me it’s so cool and it is way better than the same boring models from the previous gens. Pretty soon I am gonna customize it like add a Spoiler, and stuff. I love it so much and I always cruise around in it all the time and I’m always getting stares haha.

I miss the way the HVAC controls would backlight in blue or red depending on whether you were adjusting the temperature to cooler or warmer, like they used to in the 10th gen.

The air vents are probably under the front seats and charger may be inside the console, like my 2006 Honda Accord.

@@RunningAllDay4ever not sure about that. Vents should be either on the middle console or on pillars. As far as USB I don't want to open the console to look for them. Should be on the outside as well.

Does the Sport-L not have the turn signals on the side view mirrors? According to the Honda website, it should have them. Although, it could be a typo.

The 11 generation Honda Accord is the best design to date, it's very stylish, elegant design. In my opinion the LX or EX Turbo straight gasoline powered engine is your best value. Although you're going to save more on gas when purchasing one of the Hybrid models, saving is exactly what you should be doing as repairs on the Hybrid will nearly bankrupt the average individual. Due to the high tech engineering, complexity of this Hybrid set-up you will have no chance of getting repairs preformed without returning to your local Honda dealership. If you're someone that trades cars every 3- 4 years then go for the Hybrid as the battery has an 8 year 100k miles warranty as mandated by the Federal Government. If you're like me when buying a car, you're not buying it with the intention of trading for the next new model . I keep a car until it's just absolutely not worth putting anymore money into it.

I think Honda played it "safe" with the new design. I liked the 10th gen better especially with 2.0T

@ndoplis1 Жыл бұрын

I traded in my 18 lx for a 2023 sport l. I've only owned Hondas since 99 . "99 civic si EBP"🎉🎉😢😢 "stolen". Since then have had 4 accords. 2000,06,18, and now a 2023. A great car .people are so B.S about things not being "perfect ". Accords have been great to me

@MattTheCarguy Жыл бұрын

I look at the "imperfect" stuff as an opportunity for improvement. Honda is a great vehicle and I have owned several including my current Pilot but they like to play it safe. I would lovw to see the 2.0t back in the lineup among other things.

@einsaan Жыл бұрын

While i love the new honda design, the interior somehow does not seem to be a class above the Civic for the price difference. Just too much cost cutting and boring black plastic everywhere. Should have had at the least options for a different color for interior other than black and grey. The quality and feel of interior was much better in previous generations.

@MattTheCarguy Жыл бұрын

I agree! And they forgot about the rear passengers
