Thank you for creating and sharing this video!!!! I love all you point out and your enthusiasm, and your car with all the blacked out details to offset the white! I’ve been meaning to get my windows tinted and the look of your car inspires me to do a similar look to mine. I bought the pearl white ‘24 accord touring hybrid back in Jan, coming from an 08 ford fusion -which I loved, but it was time😂 for an upgraded daily driver for my work commute, important to me was something reliable, good on gas, zen, and I personally like the look. I do wish it had power folding mirrors too, and for me some more ambient lighting inside, and that the rear headrests were adjustable for when I hook my car seat covers to protect it when taking my doggos with me 😂 but minor things for ultimately I bought the car, and it serves its purpose, and I love it. It has a masculine handsome look to it and has somehow attracted compliments from a wide range of lots of people with different preferences, styles, and ages, people who’ve been in the car with me or just viewed it in passing, at how they admire the car. I do love it, not just the look but its reliability and practicality but also I felt the look was important too and it all worked out. Coming from my first car which was a ‘97 Honda Civic which was such a solid car hondas have been through time and I’m back for it years later 😅just sharing. Keep up the reviewing, and thank you! ☀️

Congrats. This car looks a lot better in person. More presence in person vs online. And I like how this new design is more luxurious rather than sporty relative to the previous generation.
@s.patterson569810 ай бұрын
How in the world is this more luxurious? The 2016 Accord is more luxurious than this 2023 crap. It is an understatement to say this is not as sporty as the outgoing model. If it were truly luxurious I would not mind the lack of sportiness, but this new design is just plain vanilla. The interior is cheap to the extreme. I would take a brand new 2015 to 2022 Accord any day over this. I have been driving Accords for 30 years and I had two in my driveway as late as January this year. I wanted to change the oldest model for the new Accord, but I just couldn't do it. This new model had nothing I wanted...could not even get a tan interior which is the best color to make your car look more upscale. All my Accords have had tan interior. This offers no such option. So instead of buying a car I could get fully loaded for $40 to $45 grand, I paid $70,000 for the Acura MDX...that is how much i dislike this new Accord. At least the MDX offered me a non-hearse interior color. I got Parchment interior. The one thing I agree with this video is that Accords are damn reliable vehicles and that's why I have driven them for 30 years. I have always had two vehicles, and the only constant is the Accord...there has always been at least one in my driveway. I strongly feel that the reason Honda went so vanilla on the Accord is that it has become increasingly tough for consumers to justify buying an Acura sedan over the Accord. The Accord was taking sales away with its sporty look and upscale interior. Now it's just a dud. I still currently have a 2015 Accord in the driveway, with its beige interior, right turn signal and V6 engine....none of that is available on the new generation. So i am holding on to it. OK I am done with my therapy session. Thanks for listening to my rant.😊😊

I recently got the chance to drive an EX-L Hybrid and it was amazing!! The car felt very smooth and luxurious lol. I loved it, and coming from a 2022 Civic Touring it wasn’t too different! The only thing I didn’t like, which is honestly just a preference, is that it was a bigger car. I prefer having a smaller more compact car and if I’m being honest the Civic also grew in size and feels pretty big for me. I only hope they bring the Hybrid Civic soon!! But it’s an amazing car and looks beautiful!

I bought a 2023 EX-L last March and love the car. It drives like a knife through butter. I agree with some of the cons about dropped features with then generation: fog lights, homelink, 240 w stereo vs. 180, driver's seat rear pocket. etc.. I think the EX-L comes close enough to the Touring to recommend it for the highest gas mileage of any Accord Hybrid (46/51), rear vents and USB ports. I haven't had a chance to listen to the stereo on the Touring, and maybe that's good, because I would love a high-end sound system in my car and immediately want the Touring. Thanks for the great review. I look forward to more as you continue driving your new Touring.

Good vid… you’re doing well and getting the hang of presenting content. However I have two small corrections about your info… 1. The touring and hybrid badges are in fact available from Honda in black.. they’re about $50 each… I’m about to order all three. 2. The EV button is an action button as well… if you press and hold for a few seconds it puts the car in battery charge mode to fire the engine to top the battery off and or diagnose an engine issue that the motor has to be running to figure out.

The absence of Homelink is one of my biggest gripes with this generation. I didn't even notice it at the dealership until I brought mine hime. THANKFULLY, Honda just announced you can now integrate MyQ with HondaLink, and for those that have a wifi-enabled garage door, this more or less solves that problem. I'm also a little disappointed that they didn't do the ambient lighting in the door handle levers like the previous gerneration, and am really surprised there is no ambient lighting other than the moon light over the cupholders. Not a deal-breaker, but seems like they would have carried that over, especially since they offer those things in international markets.

I was considering getting a 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid until I did a close examination of the features that are important to me convinced me that it would be un-wise. The worst thing i found is that the car has no spare tire, no place to put a spare tire, and No amount of money will make this available. Other features that I have on my 2015 Chrysler 200 that are missing and not available on the Honda are: 1. All Wheel Drive. 2. XM Radio 3. Heated steering wheel. The heated steering wheel may seem silly, but if you live in a place where it gets cold in the winter a heated steering wheel is not a luxury. A few years back I had a Caddy CTS that did not have a spare. When I pointed this out to the salesman I was told: Not to worry, it has a tire inflater can that will fix a flat in a jiffy. If everything fails, just press the Onstar button and a rescue truck will rush out and save you" Just my luck I ran over a small piece of metal in the road and it punched a hole in the sidewall. Using the Inflater resulted in shaving cream be sprayed all over me. Pressing the Onstar button for help resulted in a tow truck coming 8 hours later. the tow truck damaged the transmission in the process. I had no luck getting the tow truck to pay for transmission repairs, no luck with the new car warrantee. That was $3,000 out of my pocket for the Tranny and $550 for the tire. Now come back and tell me that not having a spare is okay. The latest news as of January 2024: Honda parts will sell you a spare tire kit for about $500. It will fit in the hole whare Honda puts an air pump and tire repair kit.

Sorry that you went thru such a horrible experience. Don’t worry I’m not gonna defend nor justify not having a spare tire lol. It’s a pain, and I agree. Though I’ve ordered a donut tire for myself to keep in the trunk. I’ll deal with the space it takes to avoid the roadside nightmare.

Great video and congratulations on your new Accord! I just recently bought a Acura TLX Type S black with the red leather interior. I’m coming from a 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t which I still own. I wanted to get another Accord but was highly disappointed that Honda did away with the 2.0t. In my opinion that was a terrible move. They should’ve kept at least as an option. That’s what pretty much pushed me to TLX. My sport was fun to drive but at the same time gave me the daily commuter experience as well. I just feel like Honda goes through these years were they take the souls out there cars just to appease a certain demographic of buyers. Now don’t get me wrong I love the new Accord and the way it looks inside and out.
@Cartalks10010 ай бұрын
I hear ya! For me the tech stack and interior simplicity along with less buttons and no dial pads of the accord took the edge over the TLX. For some reason when I sat in the TLX it felt dated comparatively. and also the fact that TLX is just so wide lol. I already hate the length of my accord let alone dealing with the width and length combined for the TLX😅. But yes I personally would’ve preferred a 10 speed automatic but frankly when I decided I was going with an accord again, I didn’t care about it being an ecvt or not. I’m like “it’s just another accord for me” haha. I absolutely love the TLX for those that own one. You made a good choice!!

My guess is very few people tested this generation in winter as the car itself was launched end of January 2023. 2. now that more people who have tested/drove it from Feb-April of 2023 plus those of us that will test it this winter will have more data to go off of. That being said, I’d be sure to update if the responsiveness changes as we enter winters here in Chicago! ❄️

yeah it was a lot of work, about a weekends worth. paid 1500$ for the kit , and sold my stock mirrors, so it ended up being 300$. well worth it if you need to fold and unfold often to fit in a small garage. and it just looks cool when it auto-folds when you lock your car, or when it auto unfolds when you touch the handle. and no it wont affect warranty for the rest of your components, but if these mirrors break in the future, you would be out of luck because the seller in taiwan does not offer a warranty. the warranty for the rest of the car is still unaffected though.@@Cartalks100

Currently having an hugely dificult time picking cars atm. But if you had the choice which car would you pick 2023 ES 300h or this Touring? Im currently on the market for an car that has good noise isolation from the highway but I'm not sure if its worth getting an lexus or this is good enough. There is a little bit of a premium in terms of insurance getting an "luxury" vehicle. Also great content btw!
@Cartalks1006 ай бұрын
Hey! Thank you for the compliment!honestly, They’re both good cars for what they offer. I’ll give you a few pointers based on my knowledge and hopefully that can help a little more in your decision making. 1. Honda vs Lexus isn’t necessarily a neck to neck comparison. One is luxury from the base and the other is edging into luxury but still universally mainstream. 2. Cost up front will be give or take $10-$12k difference once everything adds up. 3. New accords (11th gen) driving dynamics are massively improved, cars are quieter, smoother, better shocks, acoustic glassing etc but Lexus offers that as well. 4. Accords are not midsize anymore tbh cause being ~200 inches long it’s a boat practically so you and passengers get loads of room. ES300h would still be slightly bigger and wider tho. 5. Accord touring has all the technology a common man needs imo in 2023 for a lesser price tag. If ES300h isn’t fully updated on the interior and the latest Lexus technology yet like the NX then your Accord touring’s tech stack would be better and more advanced 6. Now comes the brand satisfaction because are both reputable and reliable however one brings more prestige simply because you can say to yourself I drive a Lexus vs I drive a Honda depending on if you’re the kind of person that cares about the social status. Please lmk what you end up deciding cause I’m very curious now and I hope this helps a little!!

A great review, currently in a 21 honda accord sport 2.0, im curious for the price were you looking into other brands? Im stuck between the 24 touring or the v6 camry..dont like the black trim on bottom of accord it looks cheap and cheesy in person. Im leaning towards camry so far which gets more power for same price with better engine, transmission and life of car will be longer than the accord. What mpg are you currently getting?
@Cartalks1005 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks a lot! And Nope after I cancelled my BMW 330i booking 2 weeks before delivery. I just went in and booked the accord again haha. The bottom trim on lower trims does look plastic but if it’s gloss then it’s not bad looking honestly especially on tourings. I’m at 7500 miles with my car now have driven in snow rain and sunshine, all grime comes off with my hand washing and it’s shiny again. V6 Camry are ~100 more hp clocking in around 301hp and I love the looks of the current XSE V6 Camry’s a lot, super muscular and sexy! However I’m not a fan of the dated tech of it especially the gauge cluster and the infotainment which practically wasn’t giving me anything better than my previous 9th gen accord. I spend more time inside the car than outside of it so I wanted a better upgraded tech stack over just the sexy design on my daily. A combination of both would’ve been perfect but hey it’s cool I’m happy! Haha. What do you currently drive? That can help you in deciding. Both from reliability and longevity standpoint are neck to neck, regular maintenance required, both have same safety features, similar cabin space, great daily drivers, long history of holding good resale value too. Engine and Power wise V6 XSE Camry is the winner simply because 1. It’s an 8 speed automatic so no CVT 2. It’s an AWD (if that’s important to you) 3. It’s 301hp vs the Hybrid Accord @ 204hp Your fuel efficiency will be day and night different simply because I don’t this it’s fair to compare a NA V6 to a hybrid but since you asked I average around 46mpg when combined on Sport and Econ mode and average around 51-53mpg if on normal mode and driving like a human and not an animal but I’m usually an animal with always driving in sport mode haha. As far as life of the accord being a hybrid is concerned, that shouldn’t be the worry unless off the bat you’re planning to keep the car for 20 years haha. You already have 8 years of battery warranty from Honda. I didn’t think too deep on that simply because I don’t wanna keep any car for more than 6 years max. I hope I was able to help a little. If you’re leaning mire towards the Camry, I say you should buy the XSE V6 Camry!! It’s a beautiful car and def good power for what it is in a daily driver and of course it’s backed by the Toyota’s badge of reliability and longevity! Pick a really nice color if you’re buying a brand new one!! Some deep colors and black contrasts make that car pop really well! Even a pearl white with black inserts is a good choice! Good Luck!!!

Like it’s fast afterwards but when you absolutely need it right away it lags lol. So the electric motor for the win!!😂😂

The difference between Sport-L and bright trim is the main hesitation i have with the Touring. Where did you have the window trim done? I didn't know you could order the black air inlet on the lower trim.
@Cartalks10010 ай бұрын
I was in the same dilemma! But then I decided to have profession grade vinyl be wrapped on the window sills. I got my tints, window blackout, ceramic coating at DPS Automotive in Arlington Heights, Illinois. And you get vents on all trims( matte for all models) and gloss silver for touring but if you add the side mirror accessory of black inserts it’ll give you gloss vents too. I hope this helps! Also, do lmk what trim level you use end up going with? Also, sport-L gives you blacked out wheels with silver calipers haha so you might have to black those out too. It was too prominent for me so I would’ve blacked em out.

The recalls on them are unreal and I’ve seen it first hand with my cousin owning one. Those brands are just not what attracts me regardless of the options. Cause when I car shop, the history of brand is important for me instead of just what one or all cars in their line up is offering. That’s just me though.

@nortenero10 ай бұрын
@@Cartalks100Of course, man. I can see why people really liked the old 2.0T. When I bought it, I really wanted a cool fast car but I really found myself trying to drive efficiently to save on gas on most days because it was a thirsty car (I was averaging like 26 mpg). Driving it in sport mode was so fun but being in Houston you rarely get the chance to really drive it at its limit. The only real chance I had of driving it to its limit was on that same route in Mexico. On the toll road between Reynosa and Monterrey, I got it all the way up to 200 km/hr ~ 130 mph. Apparently it’s speed-limited. Apart from these cool moments, driving it every day was a bit much. I drove it mostly in eco mode to try and save on gas. When the new one came out I read all the mixed reviews about the looks but I didn’t care because I thought the new one looked so much more mature. Also, I was sold on the fact that the road noise, harshness, and vibrations were way better than the previous gen. When I got it I can attest to this being a better overall car. It’s much more comfortable, quiet, and nearing on luxury car status. Also the Google integration and Bose sound system is freaking sweet. I love the hybrid system and trying to get the best mileage possible. I average about 44.5 mpg but many times I’m getting 50+ mpg trips in Houston’s traffic.
