Active Shutter Grille System* (1.5T EX & EX-L, and Hybrid). Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure with crash stroke design. Widespread noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) countermeasures, including the flagship sedan's first use of acoustic spray foam insulation and airflow management technology such as the Active Shutter Grille System, make the 2018 Accord the quietest, most comfortable and efficient Accord yet. The next-generation Accord body uses over twice as much super high-strength steel (29 percent) as the previous-generation Accord Sedan – along with the model's first use of structural adhesives – to increase global bending rigidity by 24 percent, torsional rigidity by 32 percent and floor bending rigidity by 12 percent, which in turn improves all aspects of the vehicle's dynamic performance. Dramatic aerodynamic advancements and a choice of new 17- and 19-inch alloy wheels (five wheel designs in total), all contribute to a more confident, youthful and sporty sedan. Its lower and wider exterior proportions express a more premium and athletic stance, accentuated by a longer wheelbase and wider track (see Chassis), advanced LED exterior lighting (including available LED headlights and fog lights) and luxurious bright trim. CarMax is offering me more than I paid two years ago, and I may take them up on it.ĭon’t mean to dog in the car, and maybe I’m too picky, but I wanted to share my experience.In its evolution to becoming a more premium, sophisticated and aspirational sedan, the all-new 10th-generation Accord adopts a stronger, lighter and significantly more rigid body.

That’s a bandaid, and it doesn’t lastģ) the HUD dash area rattles in heat. This was a TSB, where it was fixed via some tape. On top of that, the sub sounds blown because the whole backseat shelf rattles.
That can’t be true, but I let it go.Ģ) the stereo sucks. The dealer noticed it, but called it normal. Whenever the heat kicks on, there’s a constant light squeal. there is a small hamster running behind my hvac. You get a lot of tech and features for the priceġ) noises. Really fast and handles well.Ģ) gas mileage is great considering the fun factorģ) tech. I’ve since added 15k miles, and here are my thoughts:ġ) car is fast. I took one test drive and bought a used one with only 16k miles. All the reviews on the Accord were fantastic, and it seemed to strike a balance between dad car and sporty, which is why I wanted the 2.0t. However, living in a favorable climate, along with kids, caused me to expand my search.
