Bad story and sick feeling to pay all that cash and not be satisfied. Unload it now, take the hit and cut your losses. It will never be worth more than it is now.
Consider it expensive education and all that you learned about this car that are not mechanical defects (noise, seat comfort, poor stereo, etc), you won't make the same mistake missing it on the next car.
Go to the forums and learn these things before you buy and look for them on an extensive test drive.
One should spend at least an hour test driving on a couple occasions. Have the salesman let you take a loaner or demo home overnight.
I missed the poor passenger seat comfort having never sat there on any test drive and wifey and I tested seperately so no one sat there and we hate it.
This car taught me to sit in ALL seats to test comfort if you plan to use it as a family car on trips.
We are stuck taking the guzzler 20 MPG MDX on trips because nobody wants to ride shotgun in the Accord.

Did you not test drive it before you bought it ?
Lot of these issues sound like personal dislikes / comfort issues so no remorse there.
As far as the whines and leaks being within honda specifications ...says who? Take it to a diff dealer and duplicate the issue. Easy warranty fix for all your mechanical issues your clearly having.
You even complain about the sunglass compartment being weird? Seriously. If the cars too soft for you as you state , then why did you spend all of that money on the most expensive trim? Could have got a bare bones Mercedes for that.
The A/C is actually pretty awesome , too awesome actually and the stereo system is easily upgraded , especially on the touring model. Search the forum for the DIY
I love my honda , sorry you don't.
Btw , welcome

Canadian i4 or US V6? No matter, I think you work for Toyota . We're diametrically opposed on everything you said. I even disagree with your 1 complement on the brakes...I think we all know they're not that great. Go to another Honda forum and talk about the bad brakes and CVT concerns (if you have the i4). You'll get more people on the bus. Oh, welcome! :biggrin:

I am picking up my touring tomorrow! I hope I did not make the biggest mistake of my life!
engine sounds different cuz of vtec is kicking in yo
seriously though, the engine is spinning faster, it's gonna make more noise like dafuq?
ac weak compared to what?
car is noisy at 75mph, well no shit wind and road noise is gonna come through at those speeds
you dont buy this car for the sound system..
sounds like you need to trade it in for a toyota avalon

I smell b.s. on this thread.
You didn't. It's a fantastic car, and probably gives the most bang for the buck of all the mainstream midsize sedans.
Good luck...

"Acoord review after one month"
"I have 2014 acoord touring with 1100 miles"
See, we are not even talking about the same car! This is DriveAccord.net. You want to go to DriveAcoord.net.
You are either a very unlucky person . . . or a person who likes to complain about everything (are you, by any chance, someone's wife?).

You can take your car to any Honda dealer for warranty service. Honda service departments are run by people and everyone will make an error sometime. Take the car to another dealer. Also, if you are having fluid leaks and the second dealer's service dapartment can't find the leaks than call Honda customer care on their toll free number amd open a case.

I don't see how any type of leak wouldn't be covered by warranty, you only have 1100 miles. I think the one of the worst parts of the car are the breaks. I'm 6'3 and had no issue finding a comfortable seat position. The car is a little soft for my preference as well, but it's not that bad, throw some fatter tires on it and it will ride better.
I have the little whine at low speeds, but it seems to be normal at this point if not eventually a recall will be issued and problem will be solved.
The engine is a little loud as well but that's typical for a 4 cyl moving at those speeds. You have terrible OCD like the rest of the forum.

I will not take your review seriously if you can't use something close to proper (and readable) English.
I'm sorry you are having problems and are disappointed but that does not excuse what you wrote.

In terms of value, car is a hell of a bargain against its German competition! That is why I chose it :thmsup:
