2.4 VTi-L (4 Airbags) (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 12.0 km/litre (8.3 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
    1. Best looking car (compared to Malaysian's favorite Camry)
    2. Full gadget available for the car
    3.Navigation system
    4. DVD player & Hard Disk Drive (HDD) audio
    5. Multi-angle reverse camera with guidelines
    6. Intelligent dual zone aircond
    7. Rear door sunshade
    8. Earth Dream Engine
    9. Good quality Leather used in this model.
    10. Honda ANC is good idea and concept
    11. ECO driving and meter guide - sometime make me feel wrong to drive fast and see the meter is not in green color (nice Psychological)
    12. LED Headlight - feel like driving with high-beam all night
    13. Honda Lanewatch
    14. Good Fuel Efficiency for Highway drive
    1. The Earth Dream is lacking direct injection - might be due to our fuel quality. BUT Mazda did bring direct injection Skyactive engine
    2. Lack sound proof - can hear enough motorcycle exhaust during driving - compared to my family W211 E240
    3. I-Mid sometime fee lagging to switch different radio preset station
    4. 5 auto gear is soo outdated - should be 6 gears nowadays. Even BMW come out with 8 gear conventional automatic gb.
    5. No memory set for our driver + passenger seat
To Improve
1. Better Sound proof, follow like German Marque technique
2. Honda SC - some of it not handle case very well. Need to read through in internet for which Honda SC is recommended to go.
3. No systematic / online on the Honda SC system. Lets say I go to Honda SC "A" later next service to Honda SC "B" then, it purely depend on your book outlet. Different from Mercedes.
4. 5 years Free Service + Labor offer. Mazda can do with 3 years package, Peugeot with 5 years (certain model), why can't Honda Malaysia doing that?

    Major:

2.4 VTi-L (4 Airbags) (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 9.6 km/litre (10.4 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2 km/month
    Lane watch is very much help, the leather-seat is comfortable, high speed stability on the highway is good (160 km/h and above), the ECON indicator always reminds me not to put my foot heavier on the acc. paddle, all time design I guess, lasted for two generations at least, reverse sensor make my day easier, no need to look back most of the time.
    The suspension is quite firm for a car in this segment + the 18" rim on 235/45 R18 tire feels stiff for me. Tire roar is almost unacceptable when driving more than 110km/h. prefer more supple ride. 17" rim with 225/55 R17 with softer compound tire is a better option. the screen on the dashboard is easily scratched when wiped or touched. the paint easily fall off especially at the front bumper and bonnet due to small stone and debris when driving at hi speed.
To Improve
make the ride/suspension better (e.g :Lexus ES250), reduce tire noise and improve cabin insulation.

2.4 VTi-L (4 Airbags) (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 3,000 km/month
    1) Good lively revving engine compare to previous generations.
    2) Nice engine note.
    3) Smooth gear box.
    4) Comfy rear seat and roomy cabin.
    5) Steering is responsive and feel good at high speed.
    6) Nice exterior design although w/o body kits (except I had rear ducklip spoiler installed, looks sportier!)
    7) 18 inch rims look good
    8) Fuel consumption is good (Gombak to rawang everyday gives me 11~12km/l (Full tank 680km ~ 740km)
    9) Gotta love the Honda Lanewatch! Can't drive without it now!
    10) Less tires rolling noise compare to previous generations
    1) Built quality - the gaps (exterior panels) are too "unacceptable"!
    2) Parts QA/QC - my front RHS absorber had given me squeaking noise when I passed thru road hump! (New absorber has arrived and ready to get in, a month of waiting for the part though.)
    3) Outdated GPS
    4) Rear air-cond ventilation is weak.
    5) Again, built quality interior... a huge gap between rear passenger seat lumbar support and thigh support after a month...
    6) Rattling noise from dash board/rear speaker after 3 months. (Couldn't allocate the exact location)
    7) Active noise control doesn't seem encounter well to the trucks/motorbikes exhaust noise...
    8) Airbags 4 nos < City's 6 nos
    9) 5 speeds is kinda outdated; prefer at least a six-speed!
    10) Some Honda Service centers are like "is ok if some owners don't go there for service, repair, etc."
To Improve
I personally think the Germans nail it right for the i-MID control knobs which they usually place it beside driver (somewhere behind gear lever); this location does not attract driver from driving and makes it easier for driver to use without changing driving posture.
Noise leveling could be better; Honda, please make better insulation at door card, rather than spending R&D on ANC.
CKD plant does not give excuses for poor built quality; panel gaps, dash rattling noise, fit and finish, etc.
Extra note: I am not sure if Honda Malaysia Plant has started using 3-wet paint finishing system like Ford. Somehow I feel the paint is easy to get chipped/peeled off...

Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 11.0 km/litre (9.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 500 km/month
    well, different car maker gives different spec, but the accord just gives the perfect equipment that meet my needs
    the spec is just nice compared to camrx such as build in GPS, reverse cam, bluetooth, DVD and so on
    the reverse camera has 3 angle view: bottom, wide angle, normal views
    front park sensor, auto headlamp with auto-off timer
    the Accord DRL LED is nice and attractive
    stylish tail lamp with LED, nice looks
    the control knob located on the central console just feel "shiok"
    the 8' large screen gives mobile cinema feel
    the background color of the 8' screen and head unit touch screen is changeable, 3-color modes
    the meter rounded with "fuel economy indicator" which changing react with ur pedal pressed.
    i personal think that the power is responsive, comes when i need, compared to camrx
    good handling, very solid
    the door closing sound very solid, the feel very near to continental car
    very spacious at the rear, 3.5 fist from my knee to the front seat
    boot very large and neat
    foldable rear seat
    rear seat is soft and comfort, and also with door sunshade
    the chromed garnish located at the centre bottom of rear bumper looks sporty and special.
    harder suspension than camrx, less comfort but better handling
    turning radius at 6m
    engine layout is messy
    2 airbag
    its sad that LED headlamp for 2.4, but halogen for 2.0 which not even HID
To Improve
tidy up the engine layout and cover with a engine cover for tidy look
more airbag
offer HID for 2.0VTi-L

2.0 VTi-L (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 4 Years
Fuel Economy: 14.0 km/litre (7.1 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,100 km/month
    - Stylish design from Honda + constant polish-waxing treatment always caught a lot of attentions !
    - Pick-up torque is simply the best in its class after I tested others although it's only 2.0 i-Vtec !
    - Engine and gearbox works harmonically and leave only a satisfied driver after the accelerator is stepped !
    - Steering size and tightness is just perfect for everyday driving !
    - Highway cruising with family is simply awesome thanks to the spacious interior, comfortable leather seats and the amazing audio system !
    - Interior design stands out compared to others, luxurious and sportiness looks and feels blend well together so that I won't feel boring when I enter the car although it's been driven for 3 years plus and so on!
    - In terms of driving stability in windy road, highway cruising or bad weather driving, Honda Accord really brings confidence and sheer driving pleasure !
    - It has the capability to cruise 1000km with only a full tank (70 litres) of RON 95, when I had my holiday in Perlis from KL! Impressive!
    - Rear dashboard has squeaky noise while driving in a bumpy road, I fixed it myself !
    - Lag of features like adaptive HID head-lights on 2.0 VTi-L, rain-sensors, air-bags count and many more.
To Improve
As mentioned above, more features should be insert to 2.0 VTi-L since it is the most famous spec to buy.

Hopefully Honda will sell their original sport rims in their showrooms so that my car could have an upgrade from its 16 inches rims.

2.0 VTi-L (2014)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 9.0 km/litre (11.1 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 500 km/month
    - For the 2.0L engine, it generates enough power to accelerate
    - Very spacious and if you are looking for a comfortable ride from North to South or vice versa, this is the best
    - Much improved from the earlier generation where leg room space is improved with the some classy finishes on the dashboard and door trims.
    - The cutting edge technology especially on the navigation, in car telephone, advance audio system and smart entry system, is a thumbs up for a D-Segment product.
    - Most Honda Service Centers are 3S now, so it's also easily available and you do get customer service
    - Worth the money paid to purchase and service is every 10,000km, so that's a big jump for Honda
    - Weird to mention this, but yes, when it rains heavy, the passenger beside can't be heard, what more in car audio, with a thin roof, though with NR in place
    - Only 2 air bags and for the price paid, 6 air bags should be mandatory
To Improve
- Accelerating power
- More compartment (storage) to be looked into
- Manumatic transmission for the 2.0 VTI-L should be mandatory

    - good handling
    - good interior design with easy access on buttons
    - spacious interior, with lots of leg space
    - 5 years unlimited warranty by Honda Malaysia
    - bad FC with average Rev
    - no auto wipers / HID Bi-Xenon
    - low quality interior (plastic based)
    - bad insulation
To Improve
Although this is CKD, Honda could really pay attention to the build quality of this vehicle. I have been with Honda for almost 7 years now (first was 8th Gen Civic) and i was not really satisfied with the overall quality of the car. Nevertheless, it's value for money but again, quality should not be compromised. Design could get your up there but definitely not for long.
