The 2017 Honda Accord was the last year for the coupe, the manual transmission, and the ninth-generation overall. It stands as one of the best versions of the legendary sedan, scoring well in safety, reliability, fuel economy, and overall value.

likeFilled The Good
The 2017 Honda Accord stands strong upon its history. Excellent styling, a six-speed manual option, plenty of tech, and premium amenities, and all for a price that won’t break the budget. As for safety, the model earned a perfect five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
dislikeFilled The Bad
A single recall involving the fuel system is a scratch on an otherwise-pristine gem of a midsizer. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only on higher trim levels.

The 2017 Honda Accord sold 322,655 units and boasted a handful of lasts,  with a low cost of ownership and few problems you can’t go wrong.

I like the sleek look on the vehicle. Nice interior as well as nice sound system. The rims on the tire are a plus.

Very pleased with my purchase.
Really like my Honda accord. Very comfortable to drive and has been very reliable. Android auto/apple CarPlay is a nice bonus. Wish I had waited for the 2018 model though. The dual screen in the 2017 seems like a waste when everything could just be on a single larger screen.

2017 Honda Accord Sport Special Edition 2.4L I4 Great car, really smooth, fairly efficient, feels like more than 185hp. Fairly large backseat. I'm 6'4" and my 6'1" friend sits behind me comfortably. I drive with a heavy foot and this car is fine. V6 would be lovely but just wasn't in my price range.

2017 Honda accord reliable and safe.
My Honda has not given me any mechanical problems and provides excellent performance, reliability and comfort. The apple CarPlay is awesome and acts not only as a navigation system, but utilizes all of my mobile phone capabilities which is convenient when you shouldn't text and drive. The backing up camera and right side camera when you need to move into a left lane is a great safety feature. I haven't had a need to change my tires yet, based on my tires having nitrogen and provides longevity in the wear and tear of the tires. All in all Honda accord are great cars. Efficient, reliable and close to no real service issues at all.

Honda transmissions really not bad.
A faulty airbag warning light is common even with civic models made in later years. The light intermittently flashes on and off for no reason. A faulty occupant position sensor is usually the cause of the problem. Honda was also one of the many automakers affected by the infamous Takata airbag recall.

Saves up on gas and can get you all over the country!
I absolutely love my vehicle it never cause me any trouble besides the tires but that would be my fault. Other than that I never had any problems with my care. You should really consider buying this type of vehicle because you would save on gas and on repairs.

Honda Accord LX- my biggest debt and regret
The Honda Accord LX feels so basic. The interior looks and feels cheap, the base rims are hideous, and the car has absolutely no features aside from the rear view camera. When driving the engine consistently seems to struggle, and is very slow at take off, when the AC is on the car sounds like it is struggling to perform.
accountCircle Catherine D
Great car as long as the weather permits
The car is visually very appealing. The interior is very spacious and is perfect for my family. Although I enjoy the look and gas mileage of the car, its performance in any conditions other than sunny and dry is HORRIBLE. The car is terrible in snow, rain and sleet. In snowy conditions, even a quarter inch of snow, it is impossible to drive more than 10MPH. When it rains, the car hydroplanes. I would not recommend this car to anyone who lives in the Northeast.

The automatic climate control does not hold the proper temp. You have to keep adjusting it. Honda will not do anything about it.

Honda dissatisfaction with what they promise and what they deliver.
Does not drive very well and very basic. For the monthly lease payment not a good decision. The service plan is ok but the Honda is basic and for what they are asking I have driven BMWs which handle and are better handling for the same price, and the moment my lease is up I will trade it in and get a better vehicle.

2017 Honda Accord: A Brief Overview

  • Honda’s Accord closes out its ninth generation in 2017 with eight trim levels, is the last-ever Accord with a manual transmission, and is the final Accord to come with a coupe option.
  • Two engines were available, depending on the trim level chosen: a 2.4L inline-four, and a 3.5L V6. Transmission options included a six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a CVT, the latter exclusively featuring an inline-four, and the automatic tied to the V6.
  • Only one recall has been issued for both the 2017 Honda Accord coupe and sedan, covering a problem with the fuel pump.
  • The 2017 Honda Accord scored a perfect five-star rating from the NHTSA, and earned a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
  • Do we recommend buying a 2017 Honda Accord? Yes. The midsize icon is enduring for a few reasons, from excellent reliability to being a good value for the money.

2017 Honda Accord Has Eight Trim Levels, Ranging from the Base LX to the Well-appointed Touring

2017 Honda Accord Sedan TouringThe 2017 Honda Accord was the final model year for the ninth-generation Accord. Eight trim levels, three transmission options, and two engine choices were available. This model year was also the last for the Accord Coupe and the manual transmission.

Accord LX/LX-S Comes Standard with Full Suite of Advanced Safety Features

The LX (sedan) and LX-S (coupe) are the base models of the 2017 Accord. Under the hood, a 2.4L I4 drove the front wheels with the aid of either a six-speed manual or CVT. Though just the base level, Honda included its full suite of safety features, as it would do across the entire 2017 range. That alone makes the LX/LX-S Accords an excellent value for the money, especially for safety-minded families.

Accord Sport/Sport Special Edition Adds a Few Niceties to Sedan Models

Though the Sport and Sport Special Edition (Sport SE, for short) didn’t come with the 3.5L V6, it adds a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat. The Sport SE takes that up a notch by adding heated front seats trimmed in leather with red stitching. The Sport and Sport SE were the only trim levels not available on the 2017 Honda Accord Coupe.

Accord EX Introduces Apple CarPlay & Android Auto via an Upgraded 7.7″ Touchscreen

The EX trim brings with it a host of tech goodies, including Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sirius XM, all accessible through a 7.7-inch touchscreen. An optional moonroof allows the sunshine in, and blind-spot monitoring is standard.

Accord EX-L/EX-L V6 Improves Performance with Optional Six-cylinder Engine

The EX-L could be had with the 2.4L I4, or (as the EX-L V6 name says) the 3.5L V6. The EX-L V6 was one of two trims to offer the V6, the other was the Touring trim. Transmission options for the EX-L were either a six-speed manual or CVT, with the manual or six-speed auto (with paddle shifters) for the EX-L V6.

Accord Touring Delivers Top-tier Amenities & Unique Exterior Styling

The top-tier 2017 Honda Accord, the Touring came standard with the 3.5L V6, with shifting duties performed by a six-speed auto. Satnav was also standard, as were leather-trimmed seating with heat front and rear, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory, four-way front passenger seat, and LED auto on-off headlights. It was also the only trim with rain-sensing windshield wipers, and one of two trims with 19-inch alloys (the other was the Sport and Sport SE).

Used 2017 Honda Accord Prices Range from $20,800 to $26,800

2017 Honda Accord Sedan SportUsing Kelley Blue Book figures, a base LX with no add-ons and 60,000 miles has a Fair Purchase Price of about $20,800. An EX-L with nav bumps things to about $25,200, and a well maintained, top-of-the-line Touring shouldn’t exceed $26,800.

Honda’s CPO Program Extends Standard Warranties & Includes More Rigorous Inspection Process

2017 Honda Accord Coupe TouringHonda’s certified pre-owned program, HondaTrue Certified, sells Honda models that have passed their 182-point inspection checklist with a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, two free oil changes in the first year of ownership, downloadable inspection reports, and 24/7 roadside assistance.

2017 Honda Accord Comes with Two Available Engine Options: Naturally Aspirated 2.4L I4 or 251-hp 3.5L V6

2017 Honda Accord Coupe Touring

The 2017 Honda Accord featured two engine options, with the V6 as an option for the EX-L and standard for the Touring trim. Three transmissions were available, including a six-speed manual for the inline-four, and a six-speed automatic for the V6.

2.4L i-VTEC I4 Offers Meager Performance on Lower-level Trims

Standard on most of the trim levels except for Touring, the 2.4L i-VTEC inline-four delivered 185 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft. of torque to the front, guided there by either a six-speed manual (LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition, and EX) or a CVT (LX through EX-L). The Sport and Sport Special Edition trims turned up the power to 189 horses and 182 lb.-ft. of torque.

3.5L i-VTEC V6 Provides Modest Step Up from Base Engine

If more power is what’s needed, the 3.5L i-VTEC V6 is in order. Available only on the EX-L V6 and Touring trims, the 24-valve SOHC V6 with multipoint injection produces 278 horsepower, all sent to the front wheels through either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. With the manual, torque comes to 251 lb.-ft., while the auto gives 252 lb.-ft. of torque.

Fuel Economy for 2017 Accord Ranges from 18-27 mpg City to 28-36 mpg Highway

2017 Honda Accord

With a Honda, good fuel economy is an expectation, not something to hope for. The 2017 Honda Accord is at its most efficient with the 2.4L i-VTEC I4, though the 3.5L i-VTEC V6 does well on fuel savings, too. However, the worst of the bunch is the V6 with the six-speed manual, which manages a combined 21 mpg.

EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2017 Honda Accord range from 27 mpg in the city and 34 on the highway with a 2.4 with the CVT. If you prefer the power of a V6, a regular automatic will get you 21 around town and about 32 on the highway.

The 2017 Honda Accord could also be had as a hybrid with a combined 44 mpg, though Honda considers it a separate entity from the rest of the Accord family.

2017 Accord Offers Modest Performance on the Road when Equipped with Optional V6

2017 Honda Accord Coupe

The 3.5L i-VTEC V6 sends the 2017 Accord from zero to 60 mpg in 5.7 seconds. The V6’s brakes help bring the speed to a halt in 116 feet, too.

The 2.4L I4 cruises to 60 in 7.2 seconds. Not a barnstormer, but then again, it’ll keep up on the highway with no problem.

Popular YouTube channel Redline Reviews took a 2017 Honda Accord Touring on a test drive, specifically a V6 model with the automatic transmission. After several acceleration tests, Redline Reviews discovered, “The sedan with the automatic has a refined power delivery … it still has that nice V-TEC snarl.”

Overall, Redline Reviews calls the Accord “plenty fast,” adding, “You’re going to enjoy driving this thing on long drives … it has the pull that you’re looking for … and it can keep up with a lot of entry-level luxury cars.”

2017 Accord Provides Plenty of Interior Passenger Room and Ample Cargo Space

2017 Honda Accord Sedan

The 2017 Honda Accord boasts more room in the trunk as a sedan than in coupe form (15.8 cu. ft. to 15.5 cu. ft. in the sedan, 13.7 cu. ft. to 13.4 cu. ft. for the coupe). More room could be found by folding the 60/40 rear seatback down, though the small hole in the middle means only long packages could go through.

As far as passengers were concerned, those on the rear seat enjoyed 38.5 inches of leg room in the sedan, 33.7 inches in the coupe. Above, 37 to 37.5 inches of headroom in the sedan meant few had to duck down while seated. Even the coupe offered excellent headroom at 37.2 inches front and rear.

2017 Honda Accord is a Safe Car with Plenty of Modern Safety Features

2017 Honda Accord Sedan Sport

The 2017 Honda Accord came with available collision-mitigation braking, lane departure, forward collision, and road departure systems. Standard safety features include vehicle stability with traction control, ABS, electronic brake distribution, brake assist, rearview camera, and tire-pressure monitoring. Passive safety features include front, front side, and side curtain airbags, LATCH anchors for child seats, and childproof rear door locks.

The NHTSA gave the 2017 Honda Accord a full five-star overall safety rating. Over at the IIHS, the 2017 Honda Accord earned the institute’s Top Safety Pick+. However, the accolade applies only to Accords equipped with optional front crash protection and halogen headlights, the latter available to all but the Touring trim, which uses LED headlights.

Technology is Slim on 2017 Accord’s Entry Trims but Shines on EX and Above

2017 Honda Accord Sedan

Lower trim levels of the 2017 Honda Accord received Bluetooth, Pandora streaming, and a USB port to connect your phone to play music over the 160-watt, four-speaker stereo.

Step up to the EX level and above, though, and the Accord also offered Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via a seven-inch touchscreen with Sirius XM and HD Radio. The EX-L and Touring trims upgraded the stereo system to seven speakers, a subwoofer, and 360 watts of power for all the songs and news to sound their best.

2017 Honda Accord Sports Nine Subdued Exterior Color Options, but San Marino Red & Obsidian Blue Add Some Vibrancy

2017 Honda Accord Sedan

The 2017 Honda Accord could be had with nine exterior paint colors, though not all were options on all trims. The colors available for the 2017 model year include several metallic hues, including Kona Coffee, Lunar Silver, and Modern Steel. Pearlescent shades were also offered, like Basque Pearl Red, Champagne Frost, Crystal Black, Obsidian Blue, and White Orchid. Standing by itself as neither a metallic nor a pearl coat, San Marino Red

Interior schemes include black cloth in EX, LX, Sport, and Sport SE, and black or ivory leather in EX-L, EX-L V6, and Touring.

2017 Honda Accord Is Reasonably Affordable to Maintain and has a High Reliability Rating

2017 Honda Accord Sedan Sport

Repair Pal shows the average annual repair cost to keep a 2017 Honda Accord on the road is about $400, giving it a of 4.5-star rating out of five in reliability, placing it at the top of the podium among 24 midsize cars.

With excellent parts availability, should an issue come up, it’ll be no problem remedying problems the 2017 Honda Accord may have.

2017 Accord Has a Single Recall Over a Faulty Fuel Pump, as Well as Several Registered Complaints About the Electrical System, Brakes, and Engine

2017 Honda Accord Coupe Touring

As of this writing, one recall from the NHTSA affects both the 2017 Honda Accord coupe and sedan. The recall pertains to models equipped with the 3.5L i-VTEC V6, whose fuel pump may become clogged by particulates in the fuel. In turn, the clogging can cause the Accord coupe and sedan to stall.

Honda’s solution involves updating the fuel injection ECU software, as well as replacing the pump itself if necessary. Both fixes are free of charge. The recall affects a total of 437,032 Honda and Acura models, specifically the 2015-2017 Accord coupe and sedan.

As far as complaints to the NHTSA, the 2017 Honda Accord received 254 responses, including 60 that concern the electrical system, 27 involving service brakes, and 25 linked to the engine. There are also 62 complaints falling into the “Unknown/Other” category.

2017 Honda Accord vs. Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Chevrolet Malibu

The midsize sedan market is a tough class to compete in. While the 2017 Honda Accord holds its own in most categories, its closest rivals are also good models to consider.

2017 Toyota Camry Offers More Potent V6 via Six-speed Automatic vs. CVT

2017 Toyota Camry SE
2017 Toyota Camry SE

The first and most obvious contender is the best-selling 2017 Toyota Camry. Among Vehicle History‘s owner reviews, the 2017 Camry scored 4.6 out of five stars. Four different trim levels could be had for that year’s model: LE, XLE, SE, and XSE.

Power for the 2017 Toyota Camry was derived from either a 2.5L inline-four with 178 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque, or a 3.5L V6 with 268 horses and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. A single, six-speed automatic handles the power delivery for both engines.

The 2017 Nissan Altima is Nissan’s best-selling sedan, and while it can’t match the performance of the Accord, it deserves a look.

Among Vehicle History‘s owner reviews, the 2017 Nissan Altima scored a 4.5 out of five stars. Trim levels for the midsize sedan include the base trim (dubbed 2.5 or 3.5, depending on engine choice), S, SV, SR (discontinued in the middle of the 2017 model year), and SL.

2017 Honda Accord Coupe and Sedan

The 2017 Honda Accord boasts a couple of finales on its list. It was the last year for the coupe, the last year for the manual transmission, and the final year of the ninth generation. Yet, the 2017 model year was one more year for the Accord’s legacy as one of Honda’s best family cars.

Those seeking a few thrills would be best served with the EX-L V6 coupe with the six-speed manual. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with choosing any trim level and body style of the 2017 Honda Accord. It’s a solid and affordable family ride.

We feel safe driving it with all the safety features the car comes with. In example; lane keeping assistant system , road departure mitigation , adaptive cruise control . My favorite feature in the vehicle is the collision mitigation braking system. If it senses the car will collide with another vehicle, it’ll assist the car in braking. All the controls are very easy to understand and are easy to use. The ride is very comfortable. I have driven the car up to higher elevations with mountain roads.

Why I drive a Honda accord ex coupe.
I drive a 2017 Honda accord ex coupe, let's go with the pros first, the main reason why I purchased this car is the gas mileage is amazing, 25 on freeway 18 roads, which saves me from stopping at the pump every week, it is reliable and cheap on maintenance. Honda is notorious for having cars that last forever and I was already sold on that aspect. Interior is spacious, new, and futuristic. The handling itself is really nice, eco feature is amazing along with great highest in class safety features. I'd say overall this is a 9.5/10 would easily recommend to anybody.

There are several features to customize the vehicle that others do not really have.

It is nice to have peace of mind that it is also one of the safer sedans in the market. Android auto is a nice bonus. My only complaint is the v6 is not as good on gas as I would like.

Great quality, gas savings, & classy looking.
I have a 2017 Honda Accord sport and I love it! The comfortably is great. It has not given me any problems since I got in September 2016. I take care of it so it has taken care of me. All now we are in 2018 and I have to actually change the brakes but that is about it. Tires are wonderful! Great quality.

2017 Accord honest review.
The Accord is very roomy for a sedan. The features are a little behind on Toyota's Camry. No touch screen unless you buy the more premium model. The 4cyl has plenty of power and is great for gas mileage. Maintenance is basic and the leather/fabric seats are perfect for all weather conditions.

2017 Honda accord review.
No issues with the car...It has been very reliable. I have only needed routine maintenance and inspections in the two years I have owned it. The comfort and ride is good, and the feel is very sporty. The car does not have sports car pick up, but it does drive with a sense of sportiness.

Honda accord touring is the best!
This car performs well. 2017 is the last year Honda produced a 6 cylinder motor. This car will go very fast. I have had it over 100 mph in highways. No shaking- car was not struggling. The leather interior is extremely durable and the car overall is very pleasing to the eye.

I purchased this car because it has great safety features, with a sporty look, great comfort with honda endurance and reliability, I have put over 100,000 miles on it with no major problems, only normal wear and tear.It handles nicely with my only suggestion for improvement being the turning radius.

Hondas = good! Letter requirements for reviews = superfluous!
Handles easily, good on mileage. All in all, a great car. Low front bumper, however, is fragile. Like so many Hondas, the tires you are issued with the vehicle are not top of the line at all. I pride myself on being succinct in my writing: more letters does not equal better information!

I enjoy that it gets good gas mileage and on long trips it still has a lot of room and is more comfortable than most cars even though it is a coupe. I enjoy the look from the outside and the interior is very nice. The car can Bluetooth to any phone and works rather quickly. The car has made several trips to Arizona and Nevada from California and has not had any problems besides needing the tires changed.

Why to buy a Honda accord.
The Honda accord is a great spacious car. The seats are very comfortable to sit in especially for road trips. This car has a great backup camera and I have never had an issue with it. The Honda accord is a reliable car that drives smoothly. I enjoy using the eco feature when driving around town to save on gas. When I am on the freeway I turn the eco feature off because you have quicker steering without it, which is great for switching lanes on busy freeways. You will feel safe and confident when driving it.

With backup cameras as well as a camera on the right side mirror, this car is very easy to see where you are going and ensures that you will not hit anything.

You'll love it if you go from an older car to this model.
I love my car but sometimes I do wish there was CarPlay added to this car before buying it. Not having it is no big deal but I like to have the GPS on the screen of the car instead of having it on my phone. It is a bigger screen that is why. I am grateful for what I have now. This car is very reliable. To me, it is very comfortable but even after years of driving this car, I am still getting used to parking properly since I previously went from a very tiny car to this. I am not saying I cannot park but sometimes I will have to fix the car to make it straight. You will love this car as much as me if you go from an older car to this.

It is very reliable, smooth ride. Never had any major issues. Easy to clean. Cannot race in it, but the radio and Bluetooth features are nice.

Since owning this vehicle, I have not encountered any mechanical issues. It has just been routine maintenance since this car is highly reliable. I find it to be very comfortable with the bucket seats it has and even the back has always been comfortable for any adults riding back there. It is not the strongest sedan in terms of horsepower, but it is fuel efficient. On the highway, I average about 29 mpg which I find to be decent for a car with 189 hp. Overall, the car is very sleek looking and is good value for the money paid. Highly recommend.

Honda accord: a perfect family car.
Most of all I like driving my vehicle which is Honda accord 2017 ex-sedan. It has smooth drive and has enough amount of power for everyday use. Brakes in the car are also responsive and they do last for good amount of time before you have to replace them with new ones. Interior of the car is also fine not exceptional but just fine. Stereo of the car is great. You don't have to upgrade it further and you will like how it sounds it does kind of give you a surround sound experience. One of the things that I don't like is that it does not have USB-c inside it. It does comes with the regular USB ports but these days most of the devices we use have USB-c port, so that can be a bummer. Also air conditioning in the car is not very good but works just fine when temp. Outside is not high. It can certainly be a problem during summers.
