Last real Accord you can buy in Australia – Best Accord you can buy in Australia, with descent power (V6 206kw, 0-100 6.5 sec) and pretty good engine sound, modern technology (adaptive cruise control, radar). Quite impressive fuel economy on highways between 7.8 to 8.5l per 100km (98octane), city never was higher than 10. Bought it second hand with 145k km on a clock (full service… Read more ·  1

history) now 180k km, not a single issue, just regular maintenance. You can do 100% all services yourself if you keen, car very easy to work on. So, if you looking for family size stylish sedan, with a Japanese realibility and sports character V6 Accord will be the best option to buy. P.S. one thing I don't like: Transmission shifting quite slow, compared to modern automatic. However V6 comes with a 6 speed auto, will last forever.

Great family car – Super comfortable large family car. Well appointed, great heated seats, rear window electronic sun visor, beautiful leather seats, super reliable. Reasonable service price. Love it and highly recommend, very happy. Show details ·  1

Excellant car – Very smooth driving experience, great performance, easy handling and after 2 years i have only just started hearing slight rough engine noise. Spacey interior with great looking dashboard and plenty of leg room. Accord has been very reliable with average running cost. But i will say, good value for money.  Show details

Gorrell Honda Geelong – I received a recall notice from Honda. Rang Gorrells in Geelong, was told that I could make an appointment (2 hours) so they could check if the recall was needed and if it was would not be done till 2018. Not a good experience, particularly when Astoria Honda replaced part as part of service last week, and I always get a replacement car for the time my car is in for service.  Show details

Accord V6 2017 Terrible technology - Bluetooth connectivity has a lot of issues - Don't buy it – Hi, I have just bought Honda Accord 2017 last week and it has a lot of issues with the navigation/audio unit manufactured by Clarion. Despite a lot of people complaining about it on the Internet Honda seems not willing to do anything about it. While it was firstly acknowledged by the dealership they soon switched the tone to that it will not be… Read more

fixed after they approached honda and clarion and realized that they are not willing to do aything about it.

While my phone is connected to the car bluetooth system I can't make any data call through any voip app. I had managed to find a workaround yet it does not work every time. Also for the normal phone calls , everytime you have to press the bluetooth icon on the phone to get the audio over the car system. !!

Now the car is less than a week old , it has been to the car service twice and I have already a case opened with Honda

00243712.

Please advice if you have the same issue so as we can take collective action if the matter reached the court.

Will keep updating this post with Honda's feedback.

Accord V6 - Great Car – Updated current generation 4 cylinder series 1 to V6 series 2 - best thing I ever did. Series 2 is a far more refined car and the advanced technology is far superior to the 2014 model it replaced. Extremely happy with the V6 and 6 speed combo, I personally won't go back to the 2.4 again in an Accord and the fuel economy is similar in any case. … Read more

Android Auto working seamlessly and voice recognition works nearly every time.

After also owning an Accord Euro, both of my Accords finishings have been a little disappointing by comparison, the lack of attention to detail from the Bangkok factory is evident.

Motor reviewers have been a little critical of its ride and handling, however, it has to be kept in mind the market Honda are after with this car, so I beg to differ. I am 100 percent satisfied with both 9th gen accords I have owned.

Technology and feature set is superior to other cars in this market and Honda often trump European manufacturers in this area.

Accords come standard with Michelin tyres in Australia, (at least the top of the range ones do). These are excellent tyres which last longer, but the biggest advantage I found with them was they remain grippy even in the wet until its time to replace them.

Many modern cars suffer from confusing interior layouts with cheap buttons placed in areas seemingly where a gap could be found. Nothing like that with the new Accords, they are a clean well designed layout with the driver in mind, and there are no cheap and tacky buttons on the steering wheel or elsewhere, they are indeed classy.

Seats are excellent and I far perfer these seats over Camry or Commodore. Legroom is outstanding and the car has the room to hold 3 in the back seat.

Dislikes include the annoyance of no felt lining in glovebox, centre console or sunglass holder. As a consequence, anything in any of these areas rattles and is prone to damage. I personally fix this by purchasing felt from Spotlight and sticking it into these areas, but for a 58K car, that's not acceptable.

Carpet (if you can call it that) is cheap.

Door welds and other finishings not of high quality

Not a lot of space to store items

Price - I believe this is the fundamental reason this car does not sell well in Australia

There has been some criticism of Honda Accord dual screen setup, but I beg to differ. I am a fan of this layout for a few reasons, but one of those is that Honda's excellent lanewatch system does not interfere or squeeze the navigator when driving, such as in the Civic. I understand that the 10th gen will drop the second screen to one larger one, we'll see I guess.

Some more creativity in the Android based information screen would be nice. Perhaps Honda could be a little more imaginative in creating apps if they want to continue with full restrictions in adding Google Play apps.

Overall though, I rate the V6 model 5/5, its a great car to drive & own and I look forward to the 10th generation being released.

My fourth Honda – Love everything about my Accord. In particular the Melbourne, Astoria dealership. Tried to buy one in Geelong but they could not even organize a test drive for 4 weeks. Will always buy in Melbourne even living the other side of Geelong. The car is all luxury compared to many other much more expensive brands.  Show details

Car for no extra service – Own it almost 3 years! Honestly this car wants nothing, just a simple service! Very comfortable, Very sporty. It's like a storm when you kick down! I could never think that after my subaru I would love another car! But the accord is completely different! The best car I even owned!  Show details
