Accord 2.0T quicker than Civic Type R which has a more powerful engine
So the accord with the detuned engine will beat the type r to 60 thanks to 10 speed auto. For a performance car the type r is really slow to 60 lol taking 5.8 seconds. It may make up for it in the corners or after 60 but that is too slow IMO.

Reading online it seems the accord sales are falling simply because Toyota is using larger incentives to create lower monthly payments - something Honda is not willing to do.

They really messed up the aesthetics of this car imo, its a total mess
And $36,675 for the top of the line version? That's only a few thousand less than I paid for mine, absolutely crazy. |

Except 5.8 is the official Honda time. Real world data has it around 5 flat, and the quarter about 8/10ths faster than the recorded times for the Accord.
https://www.caranddriver.com/honda/civic-type-r But we are certainly getting to the point where automatics put significant distance on similar manuals, and get noticeably better mileage too. Doesn't mean I'll ever buy one. Manuals are becoming a sizable compromise from a numbers standpoint. |

Accord 2.0T quicker than Civic Type R with more powerful engine
I think I'm gonna buy an accord because the people at motor trend can't drive.
unless something is wrong with that civic, the accord will absolutely get behind in the first 60 feet, at 60 miles an hour, and at the quarter-mile. |

C&D has the type r as a mid 13 second car, isn't it's appeal that its supposed to be fast?

Haha, that does seem to be the way it happened. Honda and Acura are so lost stylistically.
