2009 Honda Accord EX-L Review
ProsWell designed, Honda reliability and a great commuter car ConsInterior road noise, bluetooth issues and brakes

Very Satisfied And Would Definitely Buy Again — My old company gave me a company car. They went bankrupt. New company took away the company car. Had to buy something quick and I had purchased 2 Accords previously and had very good experiences with both of them. Researched and compared it to a Toyota Camry (the company car I had - loads of power but fit and finish were poor and the accelerator got stuck on me once (think it was my floor mats though)), Hyundai Azera and a BMW 3 series. The sticker price was close to $30,000 for the EX-L with leather in the 4 cylinder version. I bought it in Jan of 2009 and car sales were sluggish. I drove it off the lot with taxes, title and tags for $26,000. I really didn't like the car at first. Road more like a sports car than I cared. However, it grew on me. Handles surprisingly well for a 4 door sedan and the little 2.4L 4 cylinder engine reminds me a lot of my 86 Porsche 944 (not as good with torque and the spread is much smaller). It is actually a fun car to drive on a daily basis. I get about 25-26 mpg on a combined city/highway commute of about 54 miles round trip each day. My commute takes about 40 minutes each way so I spend a fair amount of time in the car. The brakes wore out of me around 25,000 which seemed really odd to me but the car does stop on a dime. Other than that, it has been trouble free. Best gas mileage I ever got was 31 mpg on a business trip of about 210 miles. Clients actually like the car as it has great leg room in the rear seat. I've put men over 6'4" in the back seat and they claimed they had no leg room issues. I've even put 3 children's car seats on the back seat when our minivan was out of service for a couple of days. That was SHOCKING as they are pre-school age seats. Trunk is good size and can hold a fair amount. Tires have lasted over 45,000 miles which is shocking to me. They came with Michelin Pilots. Don't ride all that well and make a fair amount of noise. The cabin noise is a bit annoying as I use a lot of hands free talking in the car. The bluetooth was either installed incorrectly or is a poor system. It drops my phone about once a commute and takes several minutes to find it again. That and the brakes are the only real complaints. I will definitely hang on to this for a very long time. Primary Use: Commuting to work

Good quality all over and very though through solutions. I will definitely recommend this car to others Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

If You Have A Decent-sized Family And Are Looking For A Comfortable Daily Driver, Buy It. — I love that its comfy. Build quality is amazing, no maintenence necessary. Performs good on gas, and thats about it. Costs nothing to own, just change the oil and watch for any notification lights. Smooth ride, too much road noise though. For what its worth, amazing car.

2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Review
ProsPower would be number one. You can pass anyone with little effort. ConsTruly hard to find. Would love for it to be less expensive and better gas mileage; however, it would not be as nice and as fast.

Fun And Stylish — I am a multiple Honda owner. You only understand when you have owned one and notice the difference that are not often thought about. Great view, adjust mirrors and you have zero blind spots. VTEC offers acceleration above cars with similar horsepower. Quality can be seen throughout. The controls and buttons are all fluid and tight. The doors still shut soft and solid, even after years of driving. No other car holds their value. It doesn't matter what you pay when you buy a Honda. It is what your final cost of ownership is after you sell it and buy another one. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Good Review — Performance: Great acceleration, excellent Honda brakes, handles better at higher speed. Build Quality: No repairs as of yet. Appearance: A face-lift that puts it apart from all other generations. Cost of Ownership: With the increase in overall size, the gas mileage suffered a little but easy to overlook. Furthermore it's as easy to take care of as any other Accord. Fun Factor: It is neither fun to drive nor boring. However, it holds up well in acceleration dept. against its competitors-- Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2009 Honda Accord LX-P Review
ProsOverall best car for the money, especially when you consider the cost of ownership over the long run. Price per mile is hard to beat with any other vehicle. Also Honda's have a certain ergonomic feel that you just don't get with domestic vehicles. This car is a 10! ConsNone - maybe a little wind noise but what car doesn't have that?

Extremely Reliable And Dependable All Round Car! — This is the Best Family Sedan On The Market For The Money! Over All A 10! —Great car for the money and extremely reliable and dependable. Low cost of ownership makes this one of the most desirable vehicles to own. When you add in the Honda dependablity and reliability this car is hands down the best deal on the market for the money! I would strongly recommend this vehicle to a family member or a new buyer. You can't go wrong with this car. Just Buy It! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

2009 Honda Accord E-XL w/ Nav Review
ProsGreat car. Fit and finish are great and the ride is excellent. All the bells and whistles are really nice to have. Very quiet ride. ConsDoesn't have the greatest power but I guess when you want 30-35 MPG there's not much you can do about it.

Excellent Car That Will Last A Lifetime. — We bought this car for it's excellent gas mileage and for the features it offered. We are very happy with the vehicle and have really been impressed by all of the creature comforts it offers. It seems to have everything we need and it is a joy to drive. We are expecting our first child and are looking to buy a mid-size SUV. We are sad to see it go since it has been such a joy to own. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||
