Upgrade to Accord Sport 2.0T

[dantwan1]

The amount of salt in this thread for someone trading up to an Accord is ridiculous. The Accord has always been a great car, and definitely offers a lot more comfortable experience than the civic overall as a DD. I wanted one, but they stopped making coupes in 2018 when I was looking to buy. Great find, it looks fantastic.

Personally in my opinion accord looks better in sedan for its size than coupe. Coupe looks kind of stretched out car.

Your kids must be huge if they don't fit in the back of a 10th gen Civic sedan

"Fit"? It's not about fit, but about comfort. Let's be honest, a civic can be a family car only if it has to be....
So many people with back problems (not me) complain about the civic seats. They are fine, just small and thin. An Accord has a bit more realistic adult seats.

As far as I'm concerned, even a mid size sedan like the Accord is not enough as a family car. And yeah, my kids are huge.

Could an accord driver seat direct swap with a civic?

It appeared to be about "fit" in the OP when they said "need bigger cabin space for 2 kids". If they said "need a more comfortable space for my kids", then I would have agreed the accord is the way to go

There is nothing humble about you. But yes, your engine is quite modest.

I respectfully have to disagree. I have never seen a road test or review on a performance car where they say negative things about it having an automatic. It’s usually quite the opposite. As an example, here is a Car and Driver review of a 2020 Porsche 911 with a manual.
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a33510847/2020-porsche-911-carrera-s-manual-enjoyment/

It goes on to say about Porsche’s automatics: “Those robotic abilities give it an advantage on a track, too. It's smart enough to downshift into the correct gear under braking, and it upshifts quicker than a human can.”

Regarding a MT you stated it can “double or triple down-shift in a split second, which is faster then the most advance automatic that has to shift one gear at a time.” My other car has a ZF 8HP automatic & can do a eight-to-second gear kickdown in one step.

If only Honda made an Accord Si....

Have to wear one every day for work.

The suit definitely fits more in the Accord than a Civic

Congrats. I traded mine in for an Accord as well!!! I got the 2.0 touring and it’s great! Still amazing in gas and it’s roomier!!!

Thinking about making this move too, I need something a bit more comfortable. I spend a lot more time going stoplight to stoplight on crappy Ontario roads than I spend cutting around fun back roads. Wish the accord had a hatch trunk though instead of a typical sedan. They could've totally integrated that with the design and it would be way more practical.

I understand there won't be any more MT Accord 2.0T Sports next year. The automatic is faster in acceleration despite the skill of the driver, you can't overcome all those extra gears. Accord needs an LSD though, and the reviewers say the handling is a bit mushy. I might consider one when I'm older, I'm only 71 now ;-)

You're what I call "middle age plus"'. Everything else comes in "plus" sizes, why not age?

@BigToeGuy3 so having had it for a few days now what are your impressions?

I'm picking my Accord Sport up tomorrow, I'm so hyped! It looks sooooo much more comfortable to commute in for my long drives to/from work. And alot more room for the kids in the back. Congrats!
