Car tea taste

With a budget of about 200,000 yuan, if you want to buy a medium-sized sedan of a joint venture brand, Honda Accord must be inescapable, with sales of more than 140,000 units in the past year, although it is not as good as in previous years, but it is still ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the same level of models.

Many users choose the Accord not only because this car has a high market share, but also because the Accord has a balanced performance in all aspects.

In addition, Honda has always had the title of "buy an engine and send a car", and the Accord obviously has good mechanical quality.

However, buying a car can not only listen to the advantages, the disadvantages are also very important, in this issue we will take stock of the disadvantages of the Accord.

First, the configuration is low, and the interior has a strong sense of plastic

The configuration of Japanese cars is generally relatively low, here we take the entry model of the Accord as an example, the guide price of the new car is 179,800 yuan. There are no common functions such as front and rear parking radar, reversing image, and cruise control, there are only 4 speakers, there is no one-button lifting of the window, the exterior mirrors do not support electric folding, the steering wheel is made of plastic, and the front seats are manually adjusted.

Speaking from the heart, that is, the joint venture car is made, put on any domestic brand car, set such a high price, give such a low configuration, and it is strange not to be sprayed!

And many functional configurations will only be available in the premium version and above models, such as front seat heating and ventilation, BOSE audio, leather seats, really noble enough!

Second, the sound insulation is poor, the suspension is hard, and the chassis is low

Compared with American and German models, Japanese cars are generally not very good at sound insulation and noise reduction.

In order to improve the quietness of the cabin, the front windows of the Accord are double-glazed soundproofing. The sound in the low-speed compartment is acceptable, but the speed exceeds 80km/h, wind noise and tire noise are more obvious, so many owners get a new car and go to the modification shop for sound insulation upgrades.

Compared with the Camry and Teana, the Accord actually drives with a sportier feel. But the stiffer suspension dampers also make for a worse ride, with noticeable bumps in the car felt through speed bumps, manhole covers, and potholes.

What's more, the Accord chassis has a low ground clearance, fully loaded with five people, the trunk is full of items, and the chassis height has dropped significantly. It's okay to drive on city roads with good road conditions, but it's easy to scratch the chassis when driving on roads with poor road conditions.

There is also tire eccentricity, which is the hardest hit area for users to complain.

Third, the flexibility of the trunk space is average, and the trunk floor of the plug-in hybrid version of the model is greatly raised

The current Accord is available in pure oil and plug-in hybrid. It should be noted here that the trunk space of the petrol version is more flat, while the trunk of the plug-in hybrid model has a fuel tank and pipes, and the floor has a significant bulge, although the rated volume is 430L, it is not suitable for loading large items.

In addition, the rear seats of all Accord models do not support proportional reclining, only provide overall reclining, and the space flexibility is relatively average, which is really not suitable for Honda, which has the title of "space magician"!

Fourth, the sheet metal paint surface is thin, and the fuel consumption of 1.5T is not low

The sheet metal paint of the Accord is relatively thin, and in the eyes of many users, Japanese cars generally have this shortcoming. When a vehicle collides, the body is easily dented and needs to be repaired with sheet metal. The thinner paint surface is easy to leave scratches, and it is easy to expose the primer when hit by small stones at high speeds.

The gasoline version of the Accord is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with a maximum output of 141 kW (192 ps) and a maximum torque of 260 Nm, mated to a CVT gearbox.

To be able to tune up the 1.5T engine with such a lot of horsepower, Honda does have two brushes. However, with the CVT gearbox, it is obvious that the Accord is not suitable for intense driving, and the accelerator is accelerated deeply, only to see that the engine speed rises quickly, but the power response speed is slow.

The official nominal fuel consumption of 1.5T Accord per 100km is 6.6L/100km, but the average fuel consumption of Accord owners around Xiaobian is between 8-10L per 100km, and the fuel consumption of some owners is above 10L, and the fuel consumption is not low!

Write at the end:

The advantages and disadvantages of the Accord are obvious, with high sales of new cars, stable mechanical quality, and spacious ride. Of course, when choosing a car, you can't be blinded by the advantages, these objective shortcomings are exactly what users care about the most.

Although the new car currently has a preferential range of about 40,000, many functional configurations need to be available to the premium version and above, and the landing price is about 200,000, and the same price range can fully consider the 2.0T Passat, Magotan, Teana and other models.

In addition, poor sound insulation will affect the ride comfort, although it can be upgraded by adding sound insulation cotton, but the disassembly is likely to cause abnormal body noise. The Accord is a good car, but if it can be improved and optimized for the above shortcomings, I believe that more and more users will pay attention to it, and the market sales will be higher and higher.
