2009 Honda Accord Sedan EX-L V-6 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System

Pros

Love the navigation system and bluetooth capability

Cons

The stereo system need to be up-graded to Bose Stereo System

Purchased As New

I purchased my car in April 2009. I purchased the EX-L V6 black w/ beige leather interior with navigation system. I love the navigation system. I also use the bluetooth everyday too. I can't tell you how happy I have been with this car. My Accord gets good gas mileage and it's pretty quite too. This was my first time purchasing a honda and I'm glad I did. This is a car I will keep for a very long time. I'm even considering purchasing a older model Honda Accord for my son....read morehide

Pros

Great overall car

Cons

Nothing

Purchased As New

Great car in every aspect. Great MPG and the interior looks like that of a luxury vehicle. Navigation is the best of any vehicle in this class.

Pros

Full Size Car = Roomy Interior, Nice Design, Good Handling

Cons

Drivers Seat too Hard, Wind Noise on highways, Bluetooth only so so

Purchased As New

EXTERIOR: Nice Design and a full size car. I think they did an excellent job in the design department on this one. INTERIOR: Very Roomy, Drivers dashboard is well designed and easy to see. Navigation is easy to use (a touch screen would have been better), I got White Diamond color with Beige interior - so I made sure to get Black Floor mats - they don't show the dirt so much as lighter colors. The windows are big, so no blind spots while driving. The Driving experience is very good handling and plenty of power (the 6 cylinder is Very Good). Rear Seat room = very good with plenty of leg room, Nice for a long drive. The Front Seats are well designed except for a bit hard. Fuel Economy - 3 cylinders cut out when you are cruising - which they say saves plenty of gas. I am getting 19 Miles Per Gallon overall city/highway (same as Consumer Reports magazine says - it was their #2 best pick. OVERALL, THIS CAR IS A WINNER, YOU WILL ENJOY IT A LOT....read morehide

Pros

Navigation, XM Radio, High Quality Leather, NICE EXTERIOR LOOK

Cons

Key is a little old fashioned, Automatic Engine Start would be nice

Purchased As New

I have had this car for a few hours and I am absolutely in love with it. It is so fast, and it moves so smoothly. I have not heard the cabin noise that everyone is talking about.

Pros

Reliable, nice interior, great Navi, spacious trunk, regular unleaded gas

Cons

tire/road noise, questionable gas mileage

Purchased As New

I just turned in my 2007 Accord V6 lease vehicle and bought a new fully loaded Accord. This time around I really had my eyes set on a comparably equiped 3.5 Altima. However, not a single one to be had in the local area. Also had my concerns regarding the CVT tranny over the long term. The Nissan dealership(s) were pretty bad. The Honda dealer was accomodating. Very pleased with this car for the money. Drives better than the 2007 although the Accord exhibit more road noise than some other sedans at highway speeds. However, those other vehicles were also $10K more and/or ran on premium gas. I can live with the Accord. The Navi is the very best feature. Great integration with radio, and climate control. Questionable fuel economy rating as I found with the 2007. However, it is a V6. It does runs on regular unleaded gas. This car has an engine optimizing system so I hope this works as claimed and helps. Hope the reliabilty of this car is like my 2007. Not a single repair with the 2007 other then normal maintenance. As some others have cited the seats in this car are noticably firmer than past Accords, but no complaints. I got the seat well adjusted and it will help maintain my good posture. The interior is nice. Seating is spacious and so is the trunk for cargo. The audio system sound nice. Improved over the unit in the 2007. This car looks nice. Is easy to drive and is easy on my wallet. Every sedan I looked at has some trades off. Just depends on what you can and cannot live with or without. I got a decent price discount, a few accessories for free, a good finance rate, the first three month's payments waived. Then there's the Federal sales tax deduction. As a total package, the Accord works for me....read morehide

Pros

Nice Style, Comfort, Well-Equipped

Cons

Plastic Interior, Road Noise

Purchased As New

I am a loyal Honda Motors type of consumer, however; I have mixed feelings about the latest Accord. The wife and I traded in a 05 Accord-EXL-(V6 w/Nav) for the 09 top of the line EX-L-V6 (w/ Nav.) model. Immediately, I noticed the road noises emitted from outside were more apparent than in the older model. Additionally, the interior dash looks plastic and the carpeting inside the car is made of a lower grade than the last generation Accords - Obviously Honda cut numerous corners in regard to the installation of quality pieces and sound damping materials. Even the sunroof and power window buttons are made of that new plastic material.

Overall, I like the car but sometimes I wonder if purchasing this car was worth it. I love the car, however; I do not feel the same sense of pride in ownership, as I did when I purchased the 05 model. I can definitely say, I will be trading this car in within 2 years or less....read morehide

THIS CAR IS GREAT. I GOT 21/30 MPG! WITH 271 HORSEPOWER, IT DELIVERS 0-60 IN 7.4 SECONDS! GREAT PERFORMANCE. THIS CAR IS GREAT.

Pros

Great handling and power when you need it.

Cons

Road noise

Purchased As New

Love my car! Got all the bells and whistles added. I live in a rural area just outside the city so I travel some curvy little roads to get home each day. Handles great! No leaning - it digs right into the road. Just wish they had added a remote for the heated seats! Very roomy. This isn't the '89 model we owned for 20 years. I hope it hangs in there too. The Eco feature kicks in on longer trips and helps with the gas. This helps to offset the V6 I had to have for those new start and stop exit ramps they're putting in. What a danger in a less powerful car!!! One issue I have is road noise in the cabin. I read about this before purchasing and didn't think it would bother me but under certain conditions it is noticable. For the price - it should be a quieter ride. I test drove other cars that were quieter but the reliability factor just wasn't there....read morehide
