TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Honda Accord
| 2014 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | The Honda Accord's front seats are comfortable and properly supportive, but I find the Ford's even better. The Accord's clear advantage is in the back seat, which is much roomier than the Ford's, and a match for any other in the segment with the exception of the limo-like Volkswagen Passat's. see full Honda Accord review | |

After 3 years of driving this car, I've developed neck problems from the head restraints forcing my head too far forward. I am 6'2" tall with good posture, a 34" inseam, and not overweight. It is difficult to sit in the seats without getting severe neck pain. I tried turning the head restraint around, in spite of the safety issue, but the bottom of the back of the restraint pokes me in the neck then. Just for kicks, I took the head restraint out to see if I could get comfortable, but the top of the seat back then presses uncomfortably into my upper back/lower neck. The only solution I've found so far that works is to put 3" of foam behind my back so that the head restraint is 1/2-1" behind my head. It is difficult to only fault Honda for this, because most cars model year 2009 and newer have the same problem after the NHTSA head restraint rules update from 2007. Honda, Mazda and Chevrolet seem to be the worst for forcing heads forward though. Ford has a tiltable head restraint in most of their vehicles, so they are adequate. Only when you get to the luxury brands do you find comfortable restraints. The BMW 5 series with multi contour seats, and the new Lincoln Continental have excellent seats, but they are also nearly twice as much as the Accord. Honda could fix their seat problems with a fore/aft adjustment for the head restraint and a taller seat back. It seems as if they make seats for a very limited height range with bad posture... see full Honda Accord review |

Front headrests are inclined too far forward, making the seats very uncomfortable for shorter drivers. Drivers taller than 6'3" won't have a problem. But as a shorter driver, the uncomfortable seats have caused extreme upper back pain. see full Honda Accord review |

Many reviews online state how comforable the seats are in the Accord, I cannot agree with them. I have owned a 2013 Altima as well and it is much more comfortable, but that car has a stability problem on the highway. see full Honda Accord review |

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2014 Honda Accord
| 2014 Honda Accord Powertrain: Pros | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| 2014 | Once upon a time, an efficient car was also a slow car. Though a number of fairly quick hybrids and the ultra-quick Tesla Model S should have put this perception to bed by now, it's not quite dead yet. The Honda Accord Hybrid should help. Despite the loss of two cylinders and a liter of displacement, the new one is just as quick as the first one, with a time of 7.6 seconds in Car and Driver's 5-60 mph rolling start acceleration test (which is more representative of how strong a car feels in typical driving than the typical smoking-tire zero-to-60 test). It's also as quick as the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and considerably quicker than the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Put another way, the Honda Accord Hybrid is as quick as the great majority of drivers will ever need it to be. The quality of acceleration is more of a concern than the quantity. Though the transmission has a fixed ratio, power delivery sounds and feels more like that of a CVT than that of the actual CVT in the regular Accord. This is mostly a matter of sound. With the engine disconnected from the wheels below 43 mph, its rpm at around-town speeds varies based on the need to recharge the battery, which isn't tightly coupled to what you're doing with your right foot. Beyond this variation, the engine sounds less buzzy than that in the Camry Hybrid, but louder and less refined than that in the Fusion Hybrid. Plus, if you really get on it, you'll provoke some torque-induced wiggling in the steering. So, while the Accord Hybrid can be quick when you need it to be, it's more pleasant when driven casually. see full Honda Accord review | |

The engine willingly revs over 3000RPM. The 6 speed manual is excellent, shifts are easy and precise. Acceleration is good for a largish sedan see full Honda Accord review |

Great performance. More than enough power. I have the V6 and you can easily get to 60 mph around 6 seconds. see full Honda Accord review |

Performance and Handling of the 2013 Accord Sport (6-speed manual) has been excellent. I was pleasantly surprised when test driving a 2013 Accord Sport, that I decided to purchase one. Driving, handling, and the features were very nice. Handling is is very responsive and little to no sway or body-roll in the turns. Acceleration was impressive compared to the previous generation 5-speed (manual) Accord (2008-2012). see full Honda Accord review |

This is our second Honda Accord V6. It is a smooth driving car with good handling characteristics. It has an excellent driving position and good rear and side visibility enhanced by the side-view (and rear, when necessary) cameras. The V6 provides excellent acceleration and surprisingly good economy on the highway, about 34+mpg. Around town, it's more average: 23. see full Honda Accord review |

The 4 cylinder I chose has plenty of power but is buzzy at full acceleration. The fact that it has a cam chain instead of a belt is a big plus as it normally never needs replacment and will save you around $900 later on. The CVT transmission is different and seems to shutter at low speed when accelerating very slowly. It is not annoying but just different from a normal A/T. No reason to choose the V6 over the 4 cylinder as the little 4 banger is very peppy. The 4 cylinder is all the engine you will need in daily driving and it is cheaper to buy and gets better mileage to boot. I got 30 mpg on my very first tank of fuel driving about 50/50 city-highway. Mileage has steadily increased over time and I now am averaging around 32 mpg in 75/25 city/highway driving. see full Honda Accord review |

The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) performs mediocre at best, and when started cold, the car jerks and judders when accelerating and stopping. There is a Technical Service Bulletin fix, which will require four hours at a dealership, needing a part and a software upgrade to the computer. This supposedly will eliminate the judders and the rubber band effect of the CVT. see full Honda Accord review |

I cannot stand the VCM cylinder deactivation system that shuts down half the engine when it doesn't need it. It is much less noticeable in this car than the 2010 Accord I had before, but I feel like they can do away with it or I wish there was a button to deactivate it. If you are not used to it you would think there is something wrong, but it is completely normal. The engine makes a slight jerk when it kicks on and off. I just feel like something will break down soon, it doesn't feel very refined. see full Honda Accord review |

The CVT transmission is the best one out there but it is not perfect. Shutters are low speed under very light acceleration. see full Honda Accord review |
