Overview

2019 Honda Accord

The vehicle's 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a manual 6-speed transmission delivers respectable fuel economy, achieving an EPA-estimated 26 MPG combined. However, the significant recall count, including critical issues with the fuel system and BCM software, necessitates a diligent pre-purchase inspection.
