Faults:

Rapid battery discharges, often related to a current sensor on the negative cable and alternator failures.

Metallic noises and vibrations in the steering when turning or going over bumps.

Interior electronics problems, occasional failures in the Bluetooth system, the reversing camera and the infotainment system.

Certain slow accelerations or vibrations require fluid maintenance as indicated by the manufacturer.

General Comments:

More than its quality and mechanical reliability, what impresses me most about this Accord is its comfort. It features infotainment system controls that allow you to manage everything related to your phone (Bluetooth), the sound system, the trip computer, and some vehicle settings. Additionally, there are USB, auxiliary, and Bluetooth connections to play music from your devices through the six interior speakers. It's true that sometimes it can seem a bit slow and clunky, especially when pairing a Bluetooth device.

The cabin is very spacious in all directions and seating positions. Especially in the rear, which boasts enviable legroom and headroom. The same is true of the cargo area, which is impressively large, easily accommodating all the luggage of five people and even a little more on any trip.

The build quality and the plastics are truly excellent. From the moment you open the door, you get the feeling that the car simply won't break down or make any noises in the future. The soundproofing is also worth mentioning, as it effectively isolates the cabin from outside noise.

Ride quality is one of the most striking aspects of driving this 2015 Honda Accord; it's smooth, comfortable, and handles quite well when you encounter curves. The steering isn't the most communicative, but it offers good firmness as you increase speed, giving you a sense of security.

Despite having only a four-cylinder engine, the powertrain's response is enjoyable at all speeds. It doesn't offer blistering acceleration, but in any situation, pressing the accelerator pedal responds very well. This is largely thanks to the excellent CVT (continuously variable transmission) that Honda developed specifically for its products, which not only truly saves fuel, but also makes much better use of the engine's power and torque.

As a result, the ride is quiet and comfortable, and you feel confident that if you press the accelerator, it won't hesitate but will respond immediately to your needs.

Not only is it an excellent car that fits the whole family, it's also fuel-efficient (you can easily get 12 km/l in the city without being too careful with the accelerator pedal), it has enviable quality and great resale value (the ones you see today aren't exactly cheap, unless they're in bad condition).

On the negative side, my only complaints are the cushioning of the front seats, which sometimes seems insufficient and becomes tiring, and the lack of automatic headlights, something I think should be mandatory in this segment.

Faults:

Tires.

General Comments:

Be conscious of all the comments regarding the seats in these 9th generation Accords. Your cabin area should be comfortable.

I enjoy almost everything about the car, save for the seats. They are actually horrible. Me ~ 6’4” 240.

First ~ Both driver and passenger seats are canted at a degree or so off... meaning not quite centered. My wife noticed it instantly within 2 miles of her drive.

Second ~ the padding on the side bolsters is pathetic! You can press your right shoulder blade moderately into the bolster and feel the metal pointed frame of the seats, of which you may do more often than not to compensate for the canted driver position.

Third ~ The passenger seat! What? One sits so low you can’t even rest your arm out the right window on the door seal, even for someone my height. When driving I feel like I’m talking down from a podium to my passenger. Powered passenger seat option provides a tad bit better height because it’s somewhat adjustable... but not much. They are so low (Hyundai has a similar issue) that the aftermarket has available kits to raise passenger seats on these Hondas.

Road noise is not insulated from the driver as well as Honda’s competitors, but not as much of an issue as the crappy seats.

I adore the car otherwise, but here’s some more complaining. Not concerned about the high pressure direct injection fuel injection that people freak out over. The 6 speed manual transmission is nicely laid out and smooth, albeit the ratios are geared a bit too close. One may find themselves using 6th gear even in residential areas. 4 speaker radio is weak. Suspension with 18” wheels verges on the choppy for ride, yet leans in the clover leafs more like a Ford Granada.

The 4 cylinder engine provides adequate power with the 6 speed manual and is fun. I’ll never buy another CVT... ever. The automatic V6 hauls ass, but is nose heavy and seems noisier than the 4.

The car will probably last long, but if I cannot find a resolution for the seats, it may leave my quiver sooner than later.
