Would have like to see how it does against the tlx with a v6 and 9 speed. Does the the accorrd 2.0t make their hp/torque numbers on premium fuel even though it runs on regular like the civic hp numbers? |

That is another good looking option out there. If only it was a liftback like the Audi A5 sportback.

2018 Honda Accord Loses V-6 In Favor Of New 2.0-liter Turbo-four
^
Preach it, Scrappy. The S7 is my wet dream. It'll hold several surfboards and get me to the beach in a hurry. So, if there's no wagon resurgence, at least lift-backs can get the job done. *not my car *please ignore the Model X if it offends you Last edited by Skylab; 10-10-2017 at 09:52 PM. |

The S5 liftback is on the shortlist.

Turbo four achieved no better real-world highway fuel economy than the previous V6

A loaded out Accord for $36,675 seems a bit expensive, no?

What are you comparing it to? Seems ballpark for a very well equipped family car. I'd take a 2.0/6mt accord over alot of entry level premium sedans.
My major gripes with the previous gen accord was that you could only get the sport/mt with the wimpy motor and the dual screen radio really sucked with no viable upgrade path. Seems like everything has been addressed in this gen. If I was in the market right now, an accord would be near the top of my list. Feels wierd to say. |

Yeah, nobody would ever pay over $20k for a 150hp Impreza.

Has nothing to do with the horsepower. I just couldn’t fathom buying a midsize Honda for 36k. Isn’t 36k BMW or Audi territory? Oh, and you do realize that only the base Impreza is under 20k, right? So what are you talking about? |

I'm just differentiating the 2.0i from the WRX.
An A6 starts at $47,600. A 5 series starts at $51,200. I guess it's shocking if you haven't looked at prices in a decade. What do you mean what am I talking about? The base price of the Accord is $24,445. Are you talking base prices or fully loaded? Edit: You can get an Impreza up to $34,146 without touching the Thule accessories available at the dealership.

As someone who works on these cars, having them ditch the 6 would be a great move. A v6 is pointless now that they can conquer emissions with more effective EM and still make more than enough power. They will always have problems here and there but working on a four with more room is always welcome over a v6. Plus the swap people will now have usdm turbo donor cars in salvage yards.

For the same price you could an Acura ILX A-spec which is a lot less car for the money. The Accord is the best buy in the Honda/Acura lineup as it is considerably better value than the TLX, ILX or RLX and much better built than the Civic which is a pretty low quality car IMO.

As much as I want to hate these cars, they are pretty good looking in person. Minus the slightly sunken in 19s that could stand to be another inch or so wider. The touring model for 35k is really nicely equipped tbh, and the sport model can be had for about 10k less.

Inflation makes them feel more expensive. a 2006 EX-L V6 was $26,850 which would be the equivalent of almost $35k today.

I'm looking at a 2014/2015 Accord since I don't want to drop $30k+ on a brand new one nor do I care for the looks of the '18s. |

Or, or - wait until the 2019's are slated to come out, and get a 2018 at somewhere around 20% off sticker.

The 2.0T Accord is on my shortlist for my next car. Still think I'd rather have a GTI though.
