Hondas are perfectly designed for the needs of the American market. Just enough for everything you need. Just enough power for highway speeds, just enough space for a family of 4, just enough mpg to work as a commuter, just enough price and running costs to fit most budgets, just enough styling/quality of materials to look nice. I love these cars

I don't think anyone else in KZfaq has more Accord 2.0T drag race videos than me 😅

I love my 2.0. I sold many of my coworkers on this car and now we have an Accord row at my jobs parking lot😂.

My 2019 touring 2.0 is the best car I’ve ever owned. Won’t be my last Accord, as long as Honda keeps making them!

Great love letter to the 10th gen accord. A car that has captured the imagination of many tuners and car enthusiasts alike. A car that has won award after award for its balanced comfort and performance. Honda knocked this one out of the park.

The styling is so nice with this sedan. The problem I have is that they pricing is still insane. $22K for a 2018 model with 100K miles? The used car market is still crazy.

I bought a very low mileage 2018 Accord Touring 2.0t in 2020. It was the first import and non V8 car I've ever owned. I've owned from muscle cars to Jags and I see why people are so loyal to Honda and especially the Accord. It is an all around fantastic car.

I have a 2018 2.0 Touring and I'm glad to be driving this "Dad's sedan" and at 55 years of age and plenty of cars over the years, it's one of the best cars I've ever owned. It's pretty fast in sport mode, handles well, and is a great value for what you get and compared to the overpriced SUV's that are everywhere. I plan on driving it trouble free for many more years.

I love my 2021 Sport, just all around best vehicle ever, Swapped on some Michelin pilot super sport tires made launching perfect, bone stock 4.9 5.0 seconds flat and 13.9 quarter mile, this is all Oklahoma warm climate. 10th gen accord is the goat

I have driven nothing but Hondas and Acuras with V6 engines since 2002. I swore I would never go back to a 4 cylinder car. Had to eat my words. A year and a half ago, I reluctantly purchased a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T and it easily won me over. The engine is an absolute gem. The only thing about my V6 powered cars I miss is the engine sound. But this 2.0T engine never seems underpowered. I'm border line obsessed with my car. The more I drive it, the more I love it! Many, many people have no clue how good the Accord 2.0T actually is. I honestly look forward to driving it every single day.

I got my hands on a 2019 2.0t in a 6 speed and i’ve driven it 25k miles and i still love it!

11.51 @123mph 480whp accord here 👍👍

Now if only they looked like the 2014/2015 Accords, those were peak aesthetics.

I have a 2018 Sport 2.0T manual and I love it. I think the front end is one of the best looking designs out there. And being able to drop a gear and take off is great fun. The features are everything I need and more, to me it's a perfect daily driver.

I love how Sam tells us how much space it has for people over 6 feet…no one else really does that. This is why I love his channel

The irony is this is more performance oriented in spirit than the TLX precision crafted performance.

As a millennial who loves “sports and race cars” I wouldn’t own any other car than my 18’ EX-L 2.0 10 speed. It is such a practical, yet quick and sporty sedan. I don’t have kids so space isn’t a must for me and yet, I would still stick with the Accord.

I thoroughly enjoy my dad sedan. Great review Sam! Definitely many many luxury features for the price. Can’t go wrong with the Accord.

Own the 2.0T Accord and I can say it is a solid car hands down.

I’ve owned two Accords. Hands down one of the most reliable cars ever.

I had a 2019 1.5 t and I just had to go buy the 2020 2.0t and I’m so glad I did. It’s just my daily grocery getter,but I love knowing that I am driving such a sleeper.

Stay strong accord and sedans that still here

I've had my 2021 Accord Sport 2.0T for just over a year now...and I can't say enough about it...it's like a love affair...

I think I'm obsessed with my Accord 🤭

I’ve noticed to get the 10-sp auto to work in manual mode with the paddle shifters, it has to be in sport mode. It’ll just auto shift in regular mode. Wasn’t sure if anyone else had commented on that.

Best mod I've done to my 2018 Accord 2.0 Sport (manual) was new tires. It help a LOT to keep the traction at full throttle

Bought that exact car 3 weeks ago. Sonic grey 2.0t touring. Love it so far

I love the 10 speed auto, makes the car feel special, it runs through the gears quickly and is the reason that 252hp feels like more than it is.

Sam, you need to do more car reviews. I love your Drag Race videos , but your delivery when reviewing is spot on. Keep making videos ny friend

This video just increased the value of my 2018 accord 2.0t, 6spd.

After so many reviews about seat comfort, styling and infotainment gripes. Finally a proper review from someone that has put rubber to the road with many different cars. Sam you are 100% correct, Honda is killing off the "Sleeper" version of the Accord. It has been around for over 20 years, starting with the v6 (3.0 liter) and ending with the 2.0t, 10 speed transmission. I have owned a few versions of the V6 and the 2.4 liter (CVT) and will soon own a 2.0t once the used car market cools down a tad. I must be the only person that still wants a Dad car. SUV's and Trucks have not appeal to me. I want a easy to park, decent MPG, family car that doesn't cost me a arm and a leg to buy and maintain. I'll get my Corvette when my kid's are out of the house, already know which one. :P But the 11th gen is a turd of an Accord and really a shame to put the "Sport" trim on it at all. Yes the tree huggers will love it, but maintaining a Hybrid is more costly overall. Sorry but giving us a Hybrid with a whopping 209 HP and sluggish acceleration on the Highway, the one place where you need it most is a shame.

Anyone who’s trying to drive it in manual mode which is the paddle shifters and as Sam complained about car going into automatic; the solution to it is that if you drive with paddle shifters(technically manual mode) then first put it in sport mode and it’ll hold the desired gear. That’s real fun when you get to control the rpms!

I'm a single 22 year old PhD student, and I would want this car for life.

Awesome review as always, Sam!! I enjoy how much love you give the Accord on your channel, it's always a blast! I have 2018 Accord Touring 2.0T with the 10 Speed, that I've been running a Stage 3 Tune for for the last year. It's an absolute blast to drive, has lots of features, comfortable, and spacious and this is coming from a previous muscle car owner! Thanks again for your content!

One tiny gripe for this car... I drive long trips to my work and the fuel tank capacity is so small... The range is really not that good due to 56 liters tank... Keep in mind that no one uses the entire tank at a time, when you need to fuel what you really used is around 50 liters and that is really not much for this segment... It should have been at least 62 liters so you can use 55-57 of it

Drove almost the exact same Accord Sam and I was very impressed with it when i reviewed it. Even though it was a short drive, I could feel how poised and good it felt, an definitely a fantastic daily. Its pretty decently quick with that 2.0L engine.. Excellent video Sam ! :)

I’m a C5 Corvette owner and have never owned a Japanese car. In fact, I’ve never ridden in a Honda vehicle from what I can remember. One day I got sucked into racing a 2018’ish Honda Accord with the twin chrome stacks and it shook me to my core. I knew nothing about the car but boy, did I learn after that! Now, when I see one here in Knoxville, I’m always wishing it was mine. LOL Especially if it’s red like my Vette. I’m thinking about getting one to replace my 28 year old Saturn (approaching 300,000) but boy, are they freakin’ EXPENSIVE!!! My Vette was only 13 grand. These Accords are like double that!!!

Seeing these Accords in that Sonic Gray Pearl color on the roads still dazzles me. This car is sexy as hell. Its sad this generation Accord didn’t sell as much as they anticipated in 2018 when it came out.

Great review. Better than the races. Races reviews are for segmented viewers. This type of review covers a wider spectrum of viewers. Honda accod is a great car and I think if the Honda brings the next model with the same tailgate as the civic type R and 300 hp many potential customers including me will change their boring SUV for the accord.

It’s a handsome car that has grown on me over the years. Looks very premium; especially in the evening.

I’ve been driving foreign cars since the day I got my license. The first time sitting in the Honda Accord made me feel like the nailed the cheap luxury right in the head.

I would have a hard time giving up my Touring. Amazing car

I've owned my 2.0t 6mt Sport since 2019 and still absolutely love it. 64,xxx miles later and still love driving the car every day. It's fun when you want it, it's comfortable when you want it, and it's the best all-round car on the market. Mine is also in the beautiful "Still Night Pearl" blue x purple metallic color and I still get comments on how good looking it is. Honda NAILED the design with bodylines similar to a A5 Sportback, but even better IMO.

Sam, incredible review and tribute to the Legendary Honda Accord, however the Accord 2.0T Touring in the US is no where near $33K. It runs $39,545 with US destination charges. The 2.0T Sport is $34,755, which would be my choice in it's respective class. I am looking forward to seeing the 11th gen, however ngl, a little worried at the same time.

The AWD version with a little bit more power and 360 camera view and etc, that's actually TLX 🙃 But then it becomes 4200 pounds 🤦‍♂️

Honda said the Hybrid will be their top performing model. My guess is the 2.0t will stay building on that with the Hybrid. Bringing a bit more power at 300hp. I was disappointed you did not touch on the suspension with the adaptive dampers on this Touring. It’s better then the Sport suspension with those adaptive dampers. They really help when pushing the car and taking corners. That being said. The 2.0t Touring is the best Accord ever made and we have owned a lot of Accord’s. We love our 21 Touring and it’s a keeper.

For a very long time I felt about front wheel drive the way that you do. However it doesn't bother me anymore. Maybe it's simply because I'm getting older now. I think that from an efficiency standpoint front wheel drive legitimately is the best. Now that being said if I was a rich middle-aged person having my mid life crisis, I would still want a rear wheel drive performance car to play with on the weekends. But as far as cars to live with on a day-to-day basis (especially considering that I have a job that requires me to go to work even in bad weather like snow and even icy situations), having a front wheel drive car that is very confident, very efficient, and still very fun to drive means more to me in a real world situation than having a rear wheel drive car that might be more fun on a back road on a Sunny Saturday afternoon but isn't as practical to use on a day-to-day basis. It also saves me from having to have an SUV when I don't need one. And yes I do know that all-wheel drive is better in the snow but when there's less than a foot of snow on the ground front wheel drive does just fine for me.

I have a 2019 Sport 2.0 10 speed, I found the only way to keep full manual is to constantly run it in sport mode. It’s a bit annoying but the car definitely has more pep to it. I love surprising people on the highway or from a stop light when it actually hooks.

The touring model is the only 1 that actually has the adaptive dampers it also has the heads up display cooled & heated seats that r full leather. Mine is the 2020 2.0t touring I'm in no hurry 2 trade her off

@10:17 with the car having 10 gears, it actually helped me during a long daily commute, i was cruising at 1700-1800rpm 70mph @3,000ft, 33.5mpg average

Sam is taking KZfaq by storm ❤️❤️❤️❤️

this was such a cool video !

Stunning vehicle, love the Honda Accord

I have a '21 Touring 2.0 in White diamond pearl. Love this car!!!!!

Had a 19 sport with red katzkin leather seats car was fun and worth the money, traded her this year for the big brother type S

I don't abuse mine as much but as far as I can tell when you're in sport mode, that's when you can manually shift without worrying about the vehicle automatically shifting

I love my 18 accord 2.0

I would love to see the 11th gen Hybrid utilize the 2.0T, but not sure Honda would let that happen. Just as long as they don't combine a CVT with it. A 2.0T PHEV SH-AWD would be a rocket. As long as Honda could keep the weight in check.

Mys Mercedes 350 e sport finally became too expensive to repair. I test drove a C class Mercedes, 400 series BMW and an Audi. All had a 2.0 turbo engine. All required premium fuel. The 2018 Accord had just hit the streets.I read an interesting review in Car and Driver prompting an Accord test drive. I chose the 2.0 T LX version and it turned me into a believer instantly. 255 horses on regular fuel. 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. I average 34 mpg at 70 mph. The car is larger than my Mercedes inside. Great electronic array and downright comfortable on long trips. I drive the mountains of N.C. routinely and the Accord handles great. I’ ve owned 3 BMW’s, 1 porshe, a mazda RX7 turbo and a Mercedes e350 sport. The Accord is by far the best deal on the market, a real sleeper. The 2.0 T LX is no longer available and the Sport or Touring model is required for the 2.0 T. I just hope Honda keeps the many excellent features of this model when it is updated in 2024. Honda, Listen ! No CVT. Eight speeds would be plenty. I wouldn’t care about more HP. I too am a rear wheel drive fan, BUT. The Accord handles so well I hardly notice it is FWD. Honda. Don’t mess it up. You have a real winner that dragged me away from Germany. I want to hook up again . Don’t mess it up !

Got a '20 2.0 Sport. Love seeing it on your channel. Always nice to see you give it props. Keep up the great videos @SamCarLegion.

put it in sport mode and interact with the paddles to keep it in manual mode.

Love these cars. Don't own one, but I'm pretty sure I'll pick up a used one eventually. Sat in a few at the dealer too.

I have been watching accord vids for a week and finally came across your video. One of the best! Good work and video work. Like seeing car exterior in motion too.

The Touring in the US is closer to $40k. In fact, a used 2021 Touring with 25k miles on it is selling for $40k on the used market right now. So I can sell my used 2021 Touring for as much as I paid for it when new.

Very good review! I really like your review you don’t just live based on hype. You give real criticism. Hopefully you get to have a week with the GLI. It’s a Great fun daily

I have literally this exact same car. Fully loaded 2.0 touring in grey

Love the accord and love the videos that it’s in! The transmission can be touchy at times, but to keep it in full manual you have to swap it into sports mode. You have full control of the transmission once you do that

Honda should give it 4WD and 300 bhp, then it’ll be nearly a perfect car.

Well i am glad i got my 2.0 , coz for 2023 they ditched the 2.0...all the power for a fuel economy ....

Sam please make sure the owners of the accord have good tires. I changed mine and wow it’s like a different car. BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 🙌🏽

In Sport mode, you can manual shift and it stays in the gear. Non-sport mode, it can upshift.

In the upcoming model the only updates I want is better taillight design, more power and bring manual back if possible. Perfect.

Its the gentlemans type r Sam:) thats what we call it in the 10th gen honda world.

Just test drove a 2.0T accord and I fell absolutely in love with it, but my only worry is how reliable are the 2.0T engines in the long run? I’ve been told that Hondas aren’t as reliable as they used to be, ive been looking at V6 Camrys , Mazda 6 turbos and 2.0T accords , I think both are great cars but I’ve been leaning towards the accord , but I want whatever car I get to last

The 11th Gen is hybrid with less power and no more Turbo engines.. kinda sad. The 10th Gen will go down as the best Accord Ever. The demand is high and the prices have gone up for the Turbo's

The 9th gen Accord is the best as far as styling. It’s my favorite Accord body style ever, especially in the Sport trim.

I would love for Honda to add awd and keep the weight down. I know it wont happen because it would cannibalize sales from the lackluster TLX Type S but man would that be nice!

This car is underrated by the factory. Stock Dyno runs prove that. That 10 speed with full bolt one and a good tune will make people with Type R’s and car with insane V8’s a run which will piss all those owners. I should know I own a 21 Sport 2.0. I got this car on a whim not really knowing until after I got it. It’s a sleeper without all that premium surcharge with so sport sedans and sports cars. The 23 Accord has been dumbed down in looks and power.

Oh man! I love that car! Here in the Philippines, those Accords and Camrys are considered luxury car. Would love to own one in manual transmission! 😀

I have a Accord 🤝 I love it I also have CR-V love it too I have been Driving Hondas 🚗 from 1992 love them.

Best car in its class, this accord is even bigger than Maxima. I've sat in both, Accord felt bigger than Maxima. Camry is meh. Mazda 6 is the smallest and the weakest of all.

Bought the manual version 2:0t, and I love it. Note the best part of my day, is the drive to and from work. What’s your thoughts on the manual

Ok those first 4 seconds of the video really seemed like if the accord was RWD, I’ve never seen a FWD car go a bit sideways like that 😅

I think to go full manual you need to be in sport mode. That's how I was able to reach red line.

I have a Sport 2.0 - PRESS SPORT - and when you shift it will stay in manual mode. Mine does, love my DAD car.

Never heard of people calling the 10th gen the "dad sedan". The latest Accord that I would call a "dad sedan" would be the 2017 since that kinda reminds me of BMW with the "Hoffmeister Kink" (or whatever Honda would call that design element)

💁🏻‍♂️Proud father of a 2.0 6speed

I own a 2021 in silver. Love it.

My grandmother has one of these, she loves it!

I’ve owned a 2009 Accord Coupe LX-S and 2011 Accord LX-P. Driving them was awesome. I only wish the Accord had AWD for my climate.

Amazing design! 😎😎👍👍👍👍

The lack of a lsd for the 2.0 kept me from considering it. An lsd should be standard with the 2.0 as well as a summer tire option should be offered for the Sport.

Its a great car but just like the Camry, the new gen's interior has too many plastics that often rattle and tick hard during heat/cold.

I want to meet the Honda Engineers that said: "For this generation let's put a detuned Civic Type R motor but with Balance shafts in it!"

Come everyone let’s get Sam to 500,000 plus subscribers

the Type R has the k20c1 engine, the 2.0 accord uses the k20c4. (about 95% the same engine) Then it has the same 10 -speed the Acura TLX type s has The type R engine, with the type s 10-speed i love mine

I love mine with all my heart

Very nice car for sure. Kinda rare now to find at the dealers. Most of the dealerships are stocked up with SUVs. I can always find CR-V or Pilot.

Great video!

I so much love Honda Accord, have and watched almost all videos but still hoping to get money to buy one for myself.
