Very rough ride specially in the rear of the vehicle. The car suspension does not keep the car planted at high speeds, and almost bounces off the road with a medium size bump while either a grand marquis or mustang can manage the same bump (the same toll road 241 has the same bump across the two lanes).

This "family" sedan rides rougher than my 2006 mustang gt, all due to what i think is the wrong shock/strut spec, which Honda should have sorted out before mass production.

The car also had a belt snap within the first 10000 miles, stranding the driver.

I guess Honda's are not as dedicated to high quality as they used to (I've had 2 new civics throughout the years, both served their first 100k without issues.

I bought this car to replace a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and thought that it would serve me better with great gas mileage, smoother ride, and easier to maneuver in traffic and parking. When I test drove the car the streets in the area around the dealership were new and smooth, so I got the impression that the car's ride was smooth. The car seemed rather stiff going over speed bumps but I thought that is to be expected. After purchasing the car I drove the car home and ran across bumpy roads. The ride in this car is seriously too stiff and is too shocky. Test driving is one thing, but driving for months and being pummeled constantly and repeatedly is another. Every time I drive somewhere I get severe pain in my ears, eyes, and top of my head. I also experience loud ringing in my ears, and my equilibrium is off because of the super stiff ride.

In comparison, I had a 1991 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo with adjustable suspension. That car with the suspension set to normal felt very good and still cornered better than this Accord. The hard ride does not make the car feel sporty, and even in fast tight turns this Accord still leans whereas the 300zx did not lean. Whatever Honda's reason for making the car so stiff was not worth all of the pain and misery it causes owners to experience. I wish that I could put 16" wheels like my 300zx had along with adjustable suspension so it would be a comfortable ride. Give the driver a choice so that he/she isn't forced to endure a hard ride even under mostly straight-line driving. I know that the low profile tires contribute to the bad ride but it is hard to believe that Honda offers 19" wheels which would further stiffen the ride.

Ride is harsh. Combined with uncomfortable headrests that slap me in the back of my head unless turned backwards, any rough road is punishing. This is Sport with 18" rims and short sidewall tires. Drove an EXL on test drive. Salesman told us this Sport would ride the same. Not true.

After 4 weeks of complaints, dealer has offered to swap rims and tires to lower cost 16" or 17". These will be less expensive to replace and provide greater durability since 18" Bridgstone Potenzas are around $200 each and only have 55K mile wear rating. I'm used to getting 80K out of tires! Really liked the look of those rims but 100 miles a day commute is miserable. Dealer says shocks/struts and springs are identical in all models from LX to EX including Sport. Will be checking this out before I switch. Don't want to give up handling going to 16". Might try 17". Much more choice in replacement tires than 18" also.

Honestly, between the seats, the headrests, the stiff ride and the payment, I wish I had my 1991 272k mile rusty Accord two door back. ACCORD SPORT BUYERS BEWARE, TAKE A REALLY LONG AND BUMPY ROAD TO TEST DRIVE OR YOU MAY SUFFER THE SAME FATE!
