What items are you NOT satisfied with your Accord?

Note: Speaking for the 2013 EX-L V6

Aye - mine has no issues with wind noise either. Apparently some do which is what the votes are about.

This, makes parallel parking a bit more work.

I checked other because my Touring audio system bluetooth sometimes works and sometimes does not work and my iPod does not work at all. And I just bought the iPod only because I wanted to have my music in my car.

Thought of another "Other" thing. The remote starter signal strength is very weak and when you get out to your car and open the door the engine shuts off so you have to restart the engine.

You don't find the climate unit ...(heater fan) noisy?When in the "auto" position the fan speed is too high.

Storage. I miss having a coin "ashtray" to the left of the steering wheel.

Wow, who put V6 acceleration as one of the areas they were not satisfied with??? This this is pretty quick.

I agree... this car is much quieter than my gen 8 Accord. I'll concede the point about the HVAC fan noise, though I don't consider the car noisy overall.

Seat comfort is another item that I wouldn't check. Driver's seat at least is much more comfortable than gen 8. Haven't used the passenger seat enough to see if I have the same reaction as Kings. But I have said for years that the passenger seat needs height adjustment.

The one thing that I checked was interior storage. Center console, glove and door compartments are all much smaller than gen 8. My folding umbrella used to fit flat in the bottom of a back door compartment, now it only goes in at an angle and sticks out of the top.

i have not seen a fan that is\was quiet on full blast in any car. hell even my old s420 with double pane windows made planty of noise, and it was the quietest car in mid 90s.

Yeah, what's the deal with the door storage areas, they are tiny, can't even fit a small umbrella, guess I'll have to buy an ultra compact or just slip a poncho in there (I'd think fitting an umbrella in the door would be a design requirement).

I also don't like that the glove box doesn't open up fully horizontal, seems to go about half way, making it somewhat difficult to access or see inside, esp w/o a light.

One thing I liked on my old 88 Accord was the passenger dash area had a nice open tray where you could put stuff, it was maybe 1.5 ft long and 4 inches wide, and I was always sitting stuff there, it was so convenient (I suppose that was before they had airbags, so maybe that's why they don't do those anymore).

I also find the driver seat (LX) uncomfortable on long trips, however I'm 6'5" so finding a comfortable driver seat ain't easy, though I had one on my last car, alas.

This sure would have been smart of Honda at very little cost.

One more, a rattle from the drivers A pillar area that I can't isolate. Best heard when cold at idle or low RPM. Can hear it on some bumps. Sounds to be from an AC vent ot dash top area by the A pillar but pushing on everything does not eliminate it.

Mediocre front end exterior lighting
Mediocre sound system due to Lack of subwoofer

I got that with the BlueLink app for my Sonata....nice feature. I also like that I can use it to lock/unlock the car from anywhere.

How about turn the engine off after it is stolen or jacked.
