I bought a Volkswagen, then it broke. Now I have a Honda civic and will never buy a Volkswagen ever again
They certainly don't make VW"s like they used to. Been VW,Audi for 35 years with relatively no problems. Until my Passat B5 that is. Electric windows dropping in to the doors, water leaks in to drivers side damaging ECU under the carpet. Water leak in to passenger footwell, front and rear. ABS issues. Final straw that broke the camel's back for me: seized valve bucket in the engine after 130,000 miles. Still ran okay, but on start up sounded like a tractor for 3-4 seconds. All of this on a 2.0 litre petrol, with full service history. Traded it for a Mazda 6 estate from main dealer, 7500 miles. Loving at the moment, up to 30,000 miles with no issues and easily getting at least 45 mpg at 80 mph on long motorway runs. 2 litre Skyactive petrol.

I've had mine for two years now I love it, it takes everything I throw at it with a smile
@@Gakeee I love mine too! just did my third oil change, she’s a champ.

Exactly.
@@seanpeacock5595I've been watching Scotty for over 10 years.
🤣🤣🤣 so true!!
I still have a Honda Accord 2010. 15 years and hardly any problems. Original engine and transmission.
These 5 speed auto can run forever.
I just bought one for my second car so far good what kind of problems you have with it?
06 Civic. Going strong.
I have 2014 , all good except ABS and it's really expensive
Recently got a 2016 Acura TLX in January. Bought it as 108k miles. It has the same Honda 2.4L engine as this Accord. I’ve known about this engine and how durable it is for a while, but it’s great to hear Scotty talk about it and give me reassurance.
It's a fancy Honda Civic! 🙂
For real! I used to be a owner of a 2013 2.4 accord LX, upgraded to the 20 TLX with the same 2.4 except it has a DCT, which makes it so much fun to drive, especially with that reliable and more powerful 2.4
@@dap4jgo actual manual transmission is even more fun to drive!
The 2.4 is an excellent engine. I have one in my 2004 Element with 231,000 miles
I miss my Element with a 5M so much!!!
I wish they still sold the Element!
I have a 2015 Honda Accord coup 2.4 with a 6 speed manual. I love this car. It still dries perfectly to this day. I probably would not let this car go. Hopefully one day I'm able to upgrade And get this 189 horsepower engine to be 250.
A well taken care of Honda will last forever, I had one with almost 400k miles, ran perfectly until I traded it in
I've got the same ( '15 manual ) coupe bought used with 17,000 mi. Only complaint is the black paint and usual Honda issues with un-garaged exposure. Seals around windows "dried" and eroding. (It's 1st 3yrs in FL heat) It's a keeper and will be painted/repaired when necessary, years to come. Traded a '11 (Silver) coupe for a "newer" low miles '17 coupe. F'd up!!!!! Didn't research enough about the CVT. Nice car, BUT....battery issues, alarm? draining. Has a history from previous owner. Haven't wrenched on cars for 25yrs due to work schedule and time, but will be servicing the CVT regularly hoping to get some mileage out of it before it craps out. NOT going to pay outrageous labor rates. Oil changes one thing. Long story short, '17 used for long trips, rack up highway miles, will be 1st to go. '15 is a "to work" car. Got a few ol' older Toyotas too. Keepers!!! As long as parts available, whenever they're necessary. Don't expect to buy anything newer than my '19 4Runner. I've got some years on me. We'll see who outlast the other. Love Scotty's content!!!!
My brother has a 2013 Accord Touring V6 , it is a beast! automatic transmission. This is the best of this generation. No crappy CVT and incredible gas mileage. 34-36 highway
I have the 2014 V6 EX-L with 6 speed auto. Biggest sleeper on the road! That car has serious pull. If it has the VCM make sure to muzzle that. Leads to serious issues down the road.
Picked up a 2016 accord new and it's been one of my favorite cars to date. My only gripe is the little LEDs in the headlights go out REGULARLY, and it's all one fixed assembly which costs $500 per headlight to replace. Go with aftermarket on those for sure.
Hey bro, pretty sure Honda is repairing those for free…
@@brandogonzalez8551 glad to hear that. They weren't acknowledging it yet when the car was new. It's good they're standing by their product
@@brandogonzalez8551 He's right. Daytime running lights have an extended warranty. I got them replaced for free.
10 year warranty on the led strip on headlights
Got one those same year base model. My son drives it more than I do. He even got in trouble speeding with it. The stories I could tell you about the kid. Can't wait till he gets his own car and I can fix what he tore up.
I had a '92 Accord LX, upgraded to a '92 Acura Vigor, and also owned a 2013 Crosstour, which was basically a hatchback Accord. All great, reliable, fun-to-drive vehicles. Absolutely no complaints on any of them...except...the seats in the Crosstour were ROCK HARD. Other than that, I loved 'em all.
I love my 2013 Crosstour - the seats are comfy! Plus with the rear seats down there's plenty of room for my Great Pyrenees 🙂
I have a 2014 Honda accord lx 2.4l with 196k miles on it change the oil every time the maintenance light comes on it did all of the usual maintenance to maintain it. It still drives real nice.
You shouldnt wait till the light turns on
@@marcodahustlerI’ve done that every time my oil is due. Still going strong at 134k miles
I bought a used Q7 4.2l .. Less than 2 months later I had to replace it.. I bought a Honda Pilot.. Smooth sailing since.
I agree, No Turbo I'm happy!
I have the 2016 Accord EX-L in white with 2.4l 4 cylinder as well. I don’t mind the CVT but would prefer an automatic. I noticed this one had lane departure which mine does not but no big deal. Great car, bought mine last year with 134k miles for $12k because it has a couple small scratches on the front and now I have 143k on it. Great car in and out!
Scotty I have 1.5t and i have around 800k km (around 450k miles) with the original engine and trans i do my oil change every 5k
You are lucky. There are quite a few people that are now having head gasket issues with their 1.5 Civic
@@npolite22 just do your oil change more often and go late on it and your cooling system and it well drive and live like dream👍
Have 295000 on my 2006 love the sound of the engine.
I regret selling my 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 Traditional Automatic transmission and the engine was port injected not direct injected. The V6 was smooth as butter and powerful too. That car could have lasted a lifetime with proper maintenance
I've been a Honda fan for many years and still to this day driving a 2017 Honda Accord V6 Touring as my daily driver and loving it! My first Honda was a first generation, 1981 Accord. Back then Honda was just becoming more popular in the U.S., due to the smaller engines with good fuel economy. My first generation Accord was not the same as Hondas of later generations. Back in those days Honda was still working out all the kinks in their vehicles and they had issues with very hard and clunky gear shifts in the automatics and were known for blowing head gaskets prematurely. My Accord blew two head gaskets within one year, I still loved the car but at that point I had to get rid of it. I'm not sure why some folks, "to include Scotty Kilmer", are down on the CVT transmission. I just bought a 2013 2.4L, Accord LX with CVT transmission for my son as his first vehicle, for safety and reliability. When I test drove the vehicle I was pleasantly surprised at the smooth acceleration. I truly believe that 99% of people would not be able to tell the difference between a standard transmission and a CVT during a blind test drive. In my opinion the 2013 Accord with CVT is another great Honda vehicle that with good maintenance should last several hundred thousand miles!👍🏼
I have the 2015 with 270,000 miles and still going great. Original transmission and engine. Great car even if the transmission goes bad I'll replace it and give my oldest daughter the car for graduation. Take it off eco and put it in sport mood to have some fun.
Scotty I have to say that I have the 2014 version of that Accord with the 2.4L and it accelerates quite well with the CVT. Perhaps you had driven your friend's car in the fuel economy mode. If you have noticed, there is a button near the steering wheel on the dash that has a green leaf symbol on it. That is the fuel saver mode. If you notice a green leaf light on the instrument cluster that is lit, you are in the fuel saver mode. The normal driving mode, non-fuel saver, provides noticeably quicker acceleration. The CVT is quicker than the regular automatic transmission linked to a 2.4 L normal non race engine, I think because it doesn't have to downshift, then upshift and upshift again wasting engine revs and such. It just smoothly accelerates and doesn't do a bunch of shifting. Although the technology of the CVT push belt doesn't seem like it should work as opposed to a geared system, it actually does. Probably if you had a more powerful engine like a V6, the push belt CVT would sort of grind away, I dunno.
I had a 2017 2.5l accord with a 6 speed manual. Nice enough vehicle, but I had concerns with the complexity of the gdi system, carbon buildup that would require walnut shell blasting to clean the backs of the valves , and the excessive pressure of the gdi limiting the longevity of the engine. So, I traded it on a 2022 hr v that is port injected, is key operated, has awd, provides much more cargo room, sits higher, and gets better mpg. I may have made a mistake, but " so far so good" !!
It's basically an All Wheel Drive Honda Fit on stilts! LOL
@@anthonysilvestri4946 That is more or less true. I am hopeful that isn't a bad thing.
@@kenmarshall9907 My son loves his 2012 Fit w/ 6M - it's got 130K and still running strong 👍
I like Uncle Scotty so honest and straightforward and very on point.
Scotty you’re just fantastic just love your arm waving but you’re so canny and knowledgeable thanks for your videos. From England
I have 2017 Honda accord sport with manual transmission. did a trip to Vegas that was around 450 miles one way and the average was around 35 mi per gallon while the AC was on almost all the time. too bad we couldn't get the V6 in manual sedan
I truly admire it when Scotty indicates, the manual transmission can go forever.
Road test an Accord as well as a Civic (2007 to 2017) for at least an hour. For a decade the number one consumer complaint was extremely uncomfortable front seats.
I own v6 2016 honda accord touring. loving the HP.
I got a 2010 Accord, same engine but with a regular automatic transmission. It really does accelerate and handle very well. When I test drove it I assumed it was a V6 because it reminded me of my old Monte Carlo
Thanks Scotty! I learned absolutely nothing on this video and am 12 minutes closer to my death! Keep rockin brotha!
I have a 2014 accord. Ironic thing, the only thing I've had break on it is the parking brake cables. Driver side cable seized up at 50k miles. (I bought it at 45k miles). Took 2 years to find a replacement. I still have replacements on order from honda, but happened to find one at a junk yard. I like a mechanical parking brake, just make sure the cables stay clean.
I love honda but I'm switching over to mazda, I've had nothing but problems with the brand new hondas... 2019 honda civic lx (motor mount problem) 2020 honda accord sport (oil delusion) 2023 honda crv sport (steering rack, transmission, hybrid battery)
Nice and simple car. Looks very stylish too
i have a 2006 infiniti g35 and i barely broke in 130k miles and it still works to this day though im having weird issues with the dash lights where they keep flickering alot once in a while and my mechanics cant seem to replicate it for some weird reason do you think you can figure it out
What about the 2019-2022 accord touring and sport ? They have 1.5 T. Socotty should bring one and let us know about the new ones
Hi Scotty ! I bought a 2014 Accord. CVT has never been serviced. It has a little more than 100K miles. Should I do the transmission oil and filter change as per the manual ? Thanks from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hi, Scotty! I just got a 2020 Honda HR-V 1.8 engine and CVT transmission, please, give us your thoughts about this.
you outta try a honda civic si ive got the 2018 model and even with the little 1.5L it has a great tune on it to help make up for the small engine
I’m not sure what this guy is talking about referring to the Toyota cvt transmission. I just traded my 23 Corolla for a 24 civic ex and the Honda cvt is so much better. There’s no way anyone who wants to feel acceleration should buy a Toyota. That physical first gear is horribly slow and leaves a weird gap with low responsiveness until 3rd gear kicks in. The civic accelerates much smoother and quicker.
The back up camera is probably just broken. I have a 2014 that had the same issue where the side camera worked but the back up camera died and I just replaced it myself (super easy to do, just search it on YT and there are tutorials). It cost a whopping $100 to fix!
Great show 👍
I have a 13 accord with cvt and i hate the way it accelerates which it all got bad after the 1st cvt fluid change at 120k miles
Big up to that yardie!! As a fellow Jamaican we love our Honda
Scotty, thank you for all the truth and content 🙏🙏🙏. God bless you and your family 😇🙏.
I had a 2016 Honda Civic Si with the Earth Dreams turbo engine, owned it for 2 years and got rid of it. I thought it would be a different version of the V-Tec but I was wrong.
2007 Honda Accord coupe - got it new, was a low km commuter car...has 100km on it...still got it as my winter car....great engine.
btw, as for best seller status, the Accord outsold the Camry most years - retail. Because Camrys were sold to fleets and the Accord was not. And to this day the Accord has better resale value.
The 1.5L Honda engines are absolutely horrible! Toyota sold nearly a million more vehicles in the US in 2023.
@@donniev8181 wrong. there was a prob for the turbo charged ones for a short time, now they're fine the regular 1.5s are among the best 4 cyl engines ever made Hyundai makes unreliable engines
@stanmarcusgtv wrong fanboy, I suggest you check out the class action lawsuits going on right now for the oil dilution issues in the 1.5L! I've owned 2 different Honda Accords and both had the bulletproof K24 engine! The 2018 and newer Hondas have that crappy 1.5L "earth dreams" engine. It's so bad that Honda actually started to remove the "earth dreams" badge from the engines because people were threatening lawsuits.
@@donniev8181 no, you are wrong the problem is in the past and Honda really does make the best engines as Scotty says over and over again
@stanmarcusgtv again, do some research before making ridiculous statements. There would not be multi-million dollar oil dilution lawsuits. Scotty actually spoke about this in a previous video, it all started with the 2018 earth dreams engine.
I have a 2020 Accord 1.5L turbo. Biggest issue I see with them is blown head gaskets. Huge debate online as to whether running 87 octane (which Honda recommends in the manual) causes this. Lots of people say to only run 93 in the turbos. Scotty would you recommend doing this in these 1.5L turbo cars to avoid blowing the head gaskets or should I stick to 87 and save the money at the pump?
I would run the higher octane (premium), it will burn cleaner, give better performance & better fuel economy.....also reduce carbon building up 🤔
@@mrgarrison3516 Thanks! It’s hard sell at an extra 60 cents a gallon but if it prolongs the life of the car I think it’s worth it. Just wish Honda had said to use 93 in the manual instead of making us play this guessing game.
@@scottstowell7 Most car companies will only specify the minimum octane.....that way their vehicles appear cheaper to run 🤔
Every word out this mans mouth is gold!
I still have my 2017 V6 Honda Accord with 104,000 miles on it. It still drives like new. No problem at all.
I know certain years like 97-2000 civic and accord autos went out around 120-130k miles and 2002/2003 accords were highest complained about with break downs. Honda actually had to pay out to customers that bought certain years with premature auto trans. Or replace them. Unfortunately the warranty ends after 120k but they usually failed just shortly after that Now not saying all were cuz my aunt who lives in Virginia Beach VA has a 03 accord 4cyl and has 265k miles but she also doesn’t have a heavy foot!
I personally own this exact same model and have driven a 2.5L Camry. I do like the CVT better because it does not gear hunt like the 8 speed automatic Camry does.
Still have my 2016 Honda Accord sport 2.4L with a cvt still runs great with 103k miles. Only problem that happened was the battery died and the reverse camera stopped working. Other than that these cars are great
hey how can i open fuel cap if the button wont work ?? honda accord 2002 pls help
Scotty we purchased a new Honda Accord back in 2014 and we love it. The car has done a little over 80K kilometres and is like new. We own an old Mercedes Benz that does the shopping run to town etc but for longer trips use the Honda Accord.

Very smart
I have a 2011 honda accord coup 3.5l manual. When I turn left or right it makes a clicking sound as I go around the corner. When I press in the clutch it stops. Do you/anyone know what would be causing this?
CV axle?
I got a 24 hrv. CVT is fine and thank God I'm 70 or I'd want a gear transmission. So far I like it. It has enough power to lug up steep hills. it's fine.
The older Accords are superior automobiles. Those late 90's early/ 2000's models were amazing cars. Ive heard the late 80's and 90's models were as good or better, too.
Isn’t it nice when Scotty happens to get a car just like yours and tests it out? My 2014 Accord is exactly like the car in this video except mine has an ignition key. Bought it two years ago for $10,000, only 55,000 miles. Older couple previous owner must not have ever run it hard, car was choked with carbon. Being a somewhat OCD engineer/car guy, I eliminated the carbon, car runs strong & regularly gets 34.7 mpg highway 25.7 in town. I prefer 6 spd std or 6 spd auto but my CVT does the job ok. If you find a good Accord like mine, buy it!!
4:37 WAIT Scotty has a book!? Where can I buy!?!?
Wah Gwan from Jamaica Mon. Scotty please look at me Honda.
Bought a 2006 Honda CR-V SE with 91k miles for $3K. Well maintained. Wondering how long it will last and any known issues. Is it better than my 2005 3.0 Mercury Mariner with 145K miles?
I have a 2018 1.5L Accord sport. Cylinder 1 misfire. P301 P172 codes… what do i do? 😭 Is it the fuel injectors?
I had the same code in my 1998 Land Cruiser. You probably need to have the ignition coil for that cylinder replaced. Should be a relatively inexpensive job. I'm surprised that would be an issue for a 2018 Honda. They don't make them like they used to.
I had two accords with the 2 L and 10 speed AT drivetrain. No turbo problems whatsoever, fabulous performance, CARandDRIVER puts 0 to 60 at 5.4 seconds if that is your kind of thing. Great mileage delight to drive, and yes, those fantastic engines are turbo charged. The 1.5 turbo problems Scotty keeps referring to are from older models. Prior to my current CRV sport touring hybrid, I’ve had seven high-end Accords, and they have all been bulletproof from the old wonderful V6 to the now-eliminated 2 L turbo.
I have an 01 accord 2.3L v4 5 speed that I've driven every day for 20 years, cross country twice, up mountains in the NW, through flooded swamp roads in central florida....no major problems ever. Best 11k I ever spent.
inline 4 cylinder
I got my 2016 Accord Sport out the door with taxes AND destination charge for $27,000 new. Still love it and doesn’t seem like an old car at all. The 2.4L engine is no “slouch”.
Agreed - my K24 is a banger once it gets moving! LOL
I’ve never seen a Toyota Landcrusier 200 series on your show Scotty - the best car ever to come out of Japan; it would be great to hear your thoughts!
I’ve been looking at the new Rav 4 but the cvt is putting me off buying one, I’ve got the 2.2 diesel RAV4 so looks like I’ll have it for quite some time as I’ll probably keep it until it decides it wants to retire itself 😊
I had a 96 Accord 5spd. 289,999K until the accident. I miss that car.
They make plenty of manual transmissions but the American market doesn't seem to buy them. Here in UK probably more manuals than automatics for sale. I drive a manual Honda. Don't mind the CVT but the gearbox oil is supposed to be changed every 2 years and since I buy used I don't trust previous owners or garages to actually have done it.
Got a 2001 EX with only 86k miles, drives like it just rolled off the lot. Definitely a great car
I just bought a 2014 Accord LX, It has the CVT what’s the difference in Automatic and the CVT?
Have a 2015 Honda Accord 2.4ltr with 250k miles. There is a minor leak near the transmission. Not sure how long it will run. For the time being it's still good.
I just got a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L a few months ago and I've been loving it ever since. I changed out the infotainment center with an Android headunit and I finally feel like I'm driving a modern car, even if it's over a decade old :).
What head unit is it ? Have been trying to find one that fits perfectly and doesn’t stick out at all. I currently have a 2017 Accord Sport SE and I also got a bad deal if you want to call it that. I’m still paying it off currently but I got mine for 27k with 53k miles on it

I opted for it since it's just plug and play and cheaper than a name brand head unit that has limited proprietary features compared to an open sourced Android interface. I mainly use Android Auto that connects pretty quickly when I turn on my car, but Carplay, bluetooth, screen mirroring or just plain ol' radio works as well as other options.

I wanna put a Pioneer head unit in my 2013 but they said they cant get the backup Cam to run through the screen... Does yours Cam work OK?
Scotty, another great review. We should have a beer sometime.
We bought 2016 pilot brand new. It had perfect maintenance. At 94,000 miles, it started knocking a rod. It just so happens there was faulty bearings used in some cars that year but not ours according to Honda. We now drive a Toyota.
.. 👍
Ouch
Honda makes good small cars, I’d say CRVs are the biggest id go with Honda but that’s just me.
💯💯💯💯
Shame they don't sell accords in europe
Shame they did away with the V6 in the Accords. Don't trust those l.5 turbos. Thats why we are getting a Passport instead of a CRV.
So when I drive around beautiful downtown, can't do 0-60 mph.
i own a 2013 4 cyl had it for many years now it has 190k miles no issues at all. only reason want to sell its high milage car . but looking at newer ones i hate turbo engines i love the design of honda crv 2024 but i hate its turbo engine problem with oil dilution
I have a 2017 accord 2.4 with a six speed manual, and it's a great car. CVTs became problematic without proper maintenance
Really In what way did they become problematic? (Just curious)
In my 10th gen civic si the psi starts at -10 psi unless you stomp the petal ,it will not engage boost untill you push the petal more till it does engage boost. It's all about how you drive these new turbocharged civic's that you will see they are very reliable but it's up to the owner how they drive them to deem the longevity.
Review the V6
2015 Honda Sport 6 speed manual fun and reliable uses some oil between changes but no real problems
Noticed that the oil life indicator was down to 15%. In my opinion, for the sake of engine longevity, should never let the the oil life get below 40%. Over the years, we've owned five Hondas. Our most recent is a 2016 EX-L V6 that we purchased new... now eight years old and still runs like a champ. Thanks again, Scotty for another great review
I let mine go to zero and I had the car 13 years until someone totaled it.
You don't actually know what the oil life indicator means lol. It's a timer. It's reset by whoever does the oil change.
@@charmingmander331Nobody actually knows the true condition of their oil unless you’re getting an oil analysis every time. I personally would never exceed 5,000 miles, and lean more towards 4,000 mile intervals.
@@charmingmander331 No, time has nothing to do with it. Yes, it is reset after each oil change
2016 34-35 mpg avg all driving. 42mpg with a little tailwind.
i live in germany, owning a 2018 fit made in japan. It has some small rustspots. only where no salt water will get to. never experienced that with other cars, except a faulty generation of Mercedes. i am not convinced about quality rust proofing.
I owned a 2001 Acura CL (a glorified Accord) and had nothing but problems with it. The paint started pitting after 1,000 miles and dealer and Acura America said I was scrubbing it with a brillo pad. At 50,000 miles the transmission went out. I worked with two other people that owned this same car and their transmission also went out. The car also had a leak in the trunk. I've never had a more terrible car than the Accord/Acura by Honda.
I’m glad that I am Japanese. We are quality minded.
😂 share!
What is the problem with Nissan or Mitsubishi?
@@glennso47The problem with Nissan and Mitsubishi is the French automaker, Renault.
@@elizabethnguyen4910 Renault has nothing to do with the Nissan cars. My Nissan engine wasn't built in France it was built in Yokahama, Japan.
