2010 Honda Accord Coupe V6
We bought a Belize Blue 2010 Honda Accord Coupe from Bryan Honda in Fayetteville, NC on May 31, 2010. We were able to get the car for about $5k under the sticker price, supposedly because Honda is motivated to sell cars. We also got some post-sale options for dealer price, saving us about $150 on options. It pays to ask about a discount on options. The reviews for this model unanimously rate this car as having loud road noise. This is true for our car also, primarily on old/unimproved asphalt/concrete road surfaces. On newer surfaces, it is reasonably quiet. The V6 performs great, even with AC on. Mileage seems good, tho still determining actual mileage. Excellent Bluetooth and radio features
Favorite Features
Excellent 7 speaker stereo system. Great V6 acceleration. Smooth shift points. Fairly easy entrance/exit of back seats. Spacious rear seat leg/head room. Spacious trunk. Quick auto up/down on door windows. Bluetooth works very good once used to its operation. Fast driver seat adjustment.
Suggested Improvements
Braking feels a little mushy, but is acceptable in all situations so far. Better suspension/road noise insulation. Less cumbersome steps to reset door auto unlock settings. Scrolling XM radio display. Tilt wheel that tilts down further toward lap.

Love this car!
I traded a 2009 Caliber for this amazing car. I didn't need this car I wanted this car. In my job I drive 50,000 miles a year so I wanted comfort, gas mileage and bling. I got all three. It's a head turner where ever it goes. Love it! Worth every penny. Hands free blue tooth is so easy to use. The sits really fit my body.
Favorite Features
Hands free blue tooth. contour of the sit. Lots of interior room. Huge trunk.
Suggested Improvements
I wish it had come with a remote starter.

Perfect Car Except the Seats
My wife and I owned a 1992 Honda Accord and drove it for 12 years before replacing it with a 2003 Toyota Camry. I loved the Accord and always wanted to go back to one and did. The 2010 EXL Accord we bought is a marvel of engineering and quality. I'm 6'3" and had to make sure I could fit in this car. I did. After buying the car and driving it for more than 15 minutes, it feels like the seats are made of granite. Plus the lumbar support is too low for tall people. I went in to a Relax the Back Store, and they said other customers have the same problem. My wife has no problem. Sadly I will drive our Odyssey: comfy seats! No achy back!
Favorite Features
It's a very fun car to drive (drives like a BMW), and it has incredible curb appeal. High quality throughout. A dream to drive.
Suggested Improvements
Honda really needs to take a look at the way they engineer seats. I was told a seat solution could be found, but it will add a couple inches to the seat height. With the seat at its lowest point, my head is less than an inch from the ceiling. I'm out of luck. My 92 Accord had comfy seats.

Accord is the right car for me
Full disclosure, I still own a 2001 Accord. Went shopping for several months for mid size 4 door sedans and dealt with a lot of car sales people. I drove Mazda, Ford, Nissan, Subaru, Acura, Toyota, Lexus and Hyundai, then went to the Honda dealer and found I wasted a bunch of time. For the money the Accord while not perfect meets my driving needs. 4 cyl 190 hp. is fine and have had no problems. One slight fit and finish problem that is fixed. 4500 miles and expect no problems. Do your homework BEFORE you buy any car. You’ll be much happier with your selection.

Feels like driving my old friend, my 2001 Accord. I didn’t have to relearn where the buttons are located

Pleasure to Drive
I just purchased two weeks ago put over 500 miles on already, it is really a pleasure to drive. The seats are a little stiff, however I have some lower back issues and prefer the harder feel, although my wife does not. I hope that two weeks of driving qualifies me to give a review. I know that I found all of the reviews listed on this site as well as other sites helpful in my decision making. You have to take some of the negative comments with a grain of salt because there is always going to be some that cannot be pleased or some may have a bad experience. Perhaps I should have waited until after we take the car on our vacation to give my review oh well. Thus far I am loving' it!
Favorite Features
I love the feature of the engine dropping to 3 cylinders while cruising. I think it is a great feature to conserve on the gas consumption.
Suggested Improvements
Go with the 18" tires as standard equipment rather than an option. Look into the seating comfort, poll owners on the subject.

No regrets
I have owned this vehicle for one month & have put about 1800 miles on it. Wind noise is not any worse than other cars in the same price range, ride quality is good, gas mileage could be better (avg 21-22 mpg around town) Over all I have no regrets. Nice Car.
Favorite Features
Bluetooth

3rd Accord
Just purchased my 3rd Accord, and first new one. Took a while to find an EX with the manual gearbox. I'm coming out of a 99 LX, so it's a bit of an adjustment. Awesome car though, fun to drive, great on gas, huge interior, comfortable, good build quality. Would buy again!
Favorite Features
Best stick shift and clutch I've driven to date, awesome gas mileage, quieter than my last one, massive back seat, car looks sharp in black with ivory, very good handling for a full size car. Took a week to get used to the very firm and supportive seats but they're great now. Car is fun to drive!
Suggested Improvements
Sound system is a bit weak (my '99 4 speaker LX stereo was better), drive-by-wire throttle takes getting used to (not as snappy as the '99), heavier car = slightly slower acceleration, would have loved a USB port, Bluetooth, and/or a split-folding rear seat as opposed to a one-piece design.

Glad I Done It
Had this car for about 5 months now. The Belize Blue exterior/beige leather interior combination still knocks me out. All the whizzbangs (moonroof, heated seats, sat radio, etc) are nice, but the curb appeal of this thing is just amazing. Glad I got rid of a 2009 xxxx and got this.
Favorite Features
Obviously, the color combination. 1st sat radio I've ever had, and it's nice, too. Moonroof is a gotta have.
Suggested Improvements
Could use some more 'feelable' horsepower. Seems like I have to use more foot coming off the light to stay with traffic.

Great Car!
I love the Accord EX-L 2-DR coupe. It's sporty-looking but still practical enough for a middle-aged mom like me. You can't go wrong with this one!
