2014 Honda Accord Long Term Review ( 131,000 Miles later )

I own a 2014 Accord Touring. It's got 76k miles on it. Driven it cross country from California to Ohio, TWICE! Managed to get 550 out of the engine at one point. I am driving her cross country again this coming summer! I love this car!

My Accord LX has 235,000 in under 7 years. I had to replace the starter and upgrade the battery to one with more cold cranks. The blue tooth is okay. Also, I had to replace the coils and all struts/shocks. I have had no issues with my transmission, having used both Honda OEM fluid and replacement fluid. Now I replace the fluid every 40 k, previously at 60k. Original bulbs are still on the car sans the headlights that were replaced. The car is very reliable.

A cheap and easy must do... Remove intake tube and clean throttle body.. clean MAF meter.. absolutely made my 13 Sport run brand new again.

A really informative review, thanks. Honda for life!

You really know how to take care of your car. Kudos to you. Great video, I have a '13 Accord EX and I love it. You will get 300k plus the way you care for it.

Thanks for the review. I've been looking at the 9th gen Accords recently and it fits exactly what I need it for.

Minimal issues with my 2015 LX, 78k miles. Mirror issue I never noticed.. maybe my car didn't have it. Zero challenges with the starter. Minimal oil dilution issues. Zero CVT slippage, even at steep grades. Had no problems with the CVT, and actually preferred the immediate "downshift" compared to other cars (2018+ Camry) having to hunt for the right gear when you just need to go. Averaged 36mpg per tank, 70% highway. I did 6 hour drives with the cloth seats in the LX and was never uncomfortable. Really a great car. Only real issue was left rear power door lock stopped working. not a big deal since I rarely use that door. I could still manually unlock it with the button, and would just leave it locked all the time by default. Some wind noise in the rear.. overall road noise wasn't great, but I got used to it. Bluetooth always sync'd to the phone before I even got in the car. Always worked flawlessly. Backup camera was great. Tires.. while on the narrow/bubble side (205/65/R16), were at least cheap to replace.. $110 for Continental True Contact, which had better ratings than what came on the car, Pro Contact. The only main downside to the 4cyl Sedans is the cornering. Lots of body roll. However, at DriveAccord.net, you'll find forums on a simple easy 30 minute do it yourself rear sway bar upgrade that helps the understeer/body roll significantly. I never got around to doing it myself, but people are confident in it.

I have a 2016 Accord sedan V6 Touring and I just love it..

Thanks man, For an in depth Honda owners review I have been pounding my brain looking for a good reliable vehicle. From all my research & mechanics reviews Honda does make good quality cars.

Great video. We have the 2013 exl 2.4 and the lease is due in May. I have never had a car as long as I have had this one. It amazes me that it can be this good every time I drive it. Amsoil in the engine and transmission since 1000 kms. Never driven it with eco off. I have been nervous about the cvt after warranty, but it still performs like it did when new 115,000 kms ago. I find it interesting and fun to try to keep it under 2000 rpm when driving/accelerating. I wonder what the life expectancy of this motor and cvt is before it fails.

Had an 1996 accord, was very reliable, traded in for an e38 bmw, worst decision my dad made. sold the e38, bought a 3rd gen ls430 (been reliable up til today no major issues). But I really think the reliability of a honda is up to the owner's judgement on service intervals. I have a 1998 honda city still running its original engine and transmission. I think it's alternator and the power steering was changed a few years ago. It's still my sister's daily driver, no problem. Also a 2003 Accord v6, this one caused a lot of problems tho, it broke down more than a couple of times. we didn't follow the service intervals properly. i'm guessing that's the issue. power steering issue, misfires etc. But fixed all of that, still kept the car. currently has 300k km (182k miles). I drive a 2016 civic x, 1.6l no turbo. been very reliable, except that the infotainment is laggy and a pulley issue, it was squeaking at 35000km, but it was cleaned not replaced so its fine. other than that, it's perfect.

I bought a brand new 2015 accord EX L and I love it never had a problem .... 2020 now with 63K miles

Yeap I have a 2013 Honda Accord Coupe with 218000km! And it runs just fine with regular maintenance

I have had no problems with my V6 2013 Honda Accord . Perfect in our Alaskan winters . Never been stuck in the ice and snow . I believe it will last many more years

Mine is base, 125,000 miles. Six speed manual. One set of tires, front brakes and a sun visor. Only twice was mpg under 30. That was winter sub zero. Have gotten 40 mpg sometimes when speeds are 55. Best car I've ever had.

I currently have a 2002 Honda civic, had it for 10 years. Always said, why get a new car when you can upgrade yours, and why get a new car when its cheaper to fix the one you have. I recently took my civic to a mechanic, and for the first time ever, the guy gave up on trying to fix the problem because he can't find it. Had it for a month and a half. This was a huge indication that I need to get another car. This car seems like it would be a HUGE upgrade from what I had. Even without the air intake upgrade and 12 inch subs. Rims can be changed, and the rear ones can too, but other than that, this car is a major major major go. Flossy Carter subscriber

That's a crap load of miles in 3 years

My first car when I was 18 yearsold was a 1990 Acura Integra I bought in 1997., When you popped the hood the motor said HONDA. After I wrecked my Integra, (As teens do) All my cards have been Honda Accords..1994, 2002, and my current 2014 which I drive solid to this day with 75k. I will be 42 this August 30th. NEED I SAY MORE (My next car will be another Accord).

I drive this exact same car and I recommend it to anyone who likes Honda’s. Nice car and I am enjoying it.

I almost always have honda accords (used). 1984, 1989, 1999 (current). All have 5 speed. And all last around 250k + before I get bored and get a new accord. Great car indeed.
