I just got a Sport 1.5t 6MT as a daily driver (I also have an SUV which is sitting in the garage now, it’ll be for longer drives to visit family, as a backup or guest car, and if I need to haul something). My SUV gets 18 MPG, I wanted something which got at least 30 and was fun to drive. I’m seeing 32 so far (barely broken in) so I’m thrilled with it. The Civic’s manual had a little shorter clutch and throw so it was more fun, but it was just too small for me. Fortunately this car had been sitting on the lot for months so I was able to get a better price on it than my spouse got on a Civic EX six months ago (when I first saw this car). I didn’t like the styling in pictures and I don’t usually care for black interiors, but I fell in love with this car when I saw it in person. I hope to keep it for a long time (especially because I think the manual transmission will be disappearing in the next 1-2 generations of cars).

I got a 2.0t 6MT. I average about 24 MPG with mostly city and short freeway jaunts. Ive got a bit over 30 on long freeway trips. Im 5 months in and at 4300 miles and drive about 5 miles to and from work. I love it. It has just the right amount of power for me. I drove a 1.5t 6MT. that was a hard no. Previous car was a 2004 TSX with a K24 and I didnt feel like the 1.5 was an upgrade from that. Therefore there would have been no point in getting the accord. I do feel like the factory tune has this 2.0t neutered a bit. I am tempted to do a hondata tune to really unleash it but Im afraid for my warranty. Dude you should waited for the new Insight. They are pretty good looking and rated at 50 ish MPG. What MPG are you getting?

Got the 1.5T last month with 7 miles on the clock and now at over 2k miles. For a person that drives 37 miles one way to work, the base 1.5T just made more sense. Plus, the 1.5T Sport is a great value overall and performs phenomenally in all conditions so far. I had a 2013 Sport and Honda took an already excellent formula and made it better. The 2 liter is nice to have, however isn't necessary to get around even in heavy interstate driving.

@@theanimeotaku2794 yeah I use premium gas, oil etcetera. Most new cars need this now. That's probably why people have issues with these cars putting in 87 gas or cheap oil changes with low grade oil. It's kinda just self explanatory if you buy a new car dont you wanna put the best products in it. And by the way 3 to 4k for oil change is normal I've dont that for all of my cars even my old accord and prelude always every 3 to 4k this 10k on an oil change is absurd. Most people drive chaotic and heavy footed and now most cars are turbo which means you need to change it more frequently. Also have to keep in mind driving a turbo car you shouldn't jump in start it and go. Let the Rpms drop a little let it get a little warm especially in cold climates. Non of this is new its things that Honda advises and in actcually how you should always treat your car. Dont floor it drive aggressively and then just shut the car off that's not good for the turbo. I suggest if you buy a car you should probably learn how the car is intended to be treated the average person just thinks start go stop lol

With the 1.5 I felt the engine was a little small and under powered for the car size plus it has the CVT. I didn’t want another CVT to drive as a daily driver it wasn’t fun but ok. The 2.0 sport has the features that the civic Ex T had and more so getting an 1.5 sport I would of been bored with it. I also liked the fact 10spd is not new of course but Honda and the accord is the only front wheel drive sedan out there that has the 10 spd others are rear wheel drive so that got my attention as well. I did get the 2.0 sport platinum white for $28,000 the Camry 2018 I was going to consider with the v6 was $37,000. That’s a big price difference for my budget.

I have an altima 2.5s and this 1.5t is quicker more reliable and more efficient even do it has a smaller engine .. I saw the 2.0t and test drove it, yes its fasters, but over all if a fast sedan is what I was looking for well I wouldn't be buying a Honda Accord.. Bought the car Feb has 6k miles just did first oil change and let me say for those interested in a economic family car: its great, safe and will put your mind at ease when your most valuable treasures drive away.

I've driven 1.5T 2019/2018 as compared to camary 2016, Hyundai sonata, elantra, and old v6 es300 I prefer this one. It picks acceleration so fast and really fun to drive. I'd take this turbo over anything if I were to drive many miles on daily basis.. On the plus note it gives an average of 33-35 mpg. Accord are usually in v6 class and is designed accordingly.

Hybrids suck on the freeway/highway. People keep forgetting this. If he does a lot of driving on highway/freeway roads, the only way he gets the advertised 47 mpg highway is if he goes 65MPH and below and hope the road is completely flat or going downhill. Who drives 65mph and below for long distances????? and combine that with elevation changes, it actually gets worse gas mileage on the highway compared to standard 1.5T gas engine. EVERYONE does not realize this. city driving sure hybrid wins, but again if majority of driving is highway/freeway long drives, the hybrid really isnt best bet.

For people wanting good audio and THUMP, the touring accord should be the only accord you look at. 10 speakers 450 watts. The Accord sport's speakers are straight boo boo and the sports ride quality is on the firmer side of things (pretty harsh ride).

fake news, if you heard other manufacturer's top of the line sound system with higher trims, you can really see how WEAK honda's is. all those speakers and 500 watt still doesnt sound good. Ive heard aftermarket 6 speaker systems comprised of no name flea market brands sound better. Honda is a great vehicle but their sound system sucks no matter if you get the top of the line trim. If you think it sounds good, then your basis on sound quality sucks im sorry to say. After hearing a bunch of current touring/elite trim hondas im confident to say they are teh same across the board. i rather take the standard sound if possible and just put an aftermarket sound system.

Now after driving it after a while and with the increasing popularity of 2.0T Accords on the roads these days, I realize the trim I have is definitely not the one I needed.
