New design negatively impacts visibilityToo much road and tire noiseGrille is a bit fussyFront half of the cabin is actually a bit tighterThe 2018 Honda Accord has a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a CVT type of automatic gearbox or an optional 2.0-liter turbo four that's paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. There is also a six-speed manual gearbox available on the Sport trims of either engine. Some reviewers found that the Accord was a bit noisy on the freeway, the grille to be a bit fussy, and the new design negatively impacts visibility. But overall the 2018 Accord is considered one of the best sedans -- of any size -- available on the market, given its upscale amenities and build quality, performance of the engines and overall handling.
2018 Honda Accord - Great mileage and great looks.
It is very good looking on the exterior and interior. I like the gas mileage. It also drives really smoothly. I have had no issues with any malfunctions or recalls. I have never had an issue with the engine or anything like that under the hood. I really like that I feel reliable with this car. I never worry about it not starting up. I would definitely recommend this car to someone that wants a reliable car that is also stylish.
Story
My car has never dragged around this area on the pavement, whereas my old car would sometimes do that.
Pros
I like the feature of having a screen in the car that is not touch screen. I hate the look of cars that have fingerprints on the screen. This one never gets it because it is not touch screen. I also really like the gas mileage. When I was travelling an hour round trip when I was commuting I would only have to fill up once a week. Now that I am working from home I only fill up about once a month which is crazy good. I also really like the interior of the car. It is sleek looking without too much going on.
Cons
Something I don't like about this car is not having seat warmers. I feel like most cars have this now so it doesn't make sense why my car doesn't. I also do not like the fact that there is a way to unlock the car without using the key fob. With my old car, I could just press a button on the door and it would unlock if I had the key near me.
2018 Honda Accord - A car for those who care about small details
The Honda Accord was redesigned for 2018, and its interior and exterior qualities were dramatically enhanced. I drive the EX-L model, which gives a full suite of safety features, a moonroof, leather seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, and Apple Carplay (I believe Android Auto as well, but I don't have an Android device). The exterior of the car does a great job at balancing the aggressive aesthetic cues common in newer sedans competing for a smaller share of the auto market, while retaining its conservative overall design language without appearing too boring. The rear headlamp shape is the only design feature I take issue with and wish they had done a better job. The interior is really where this car shines above the competition. The layout of the center console is very intuitive, simple, an... (more)
Story
Took a trip through Arizona's freeways. It was absolutely amazing to be able to hit the adaptive cruise control and relax my feet while the car kept me at a proper distance from the car in front of me.
Pros
Comfortable seats, very fuel efficient, rich in features, great interior design language
Cons
Rear headlamp design, step in height is low
