Am thinking of getting this car very soon, Honda Accord 2020, infact, I have watched a lot of reviews and comments but i think the 2019 upward has been modified better than 2018 the entry level.

@Kingreign, @Nurey @Heavenlybang,
What should I watch out in buying this car.

Is it true that Turbo engines are problematic to Direct injection engines.

I currently use a 2014 Honda Accord and want to upgrade to a 2020 Honda Accord.

Anticipates your responses, experts in the house.

Please dont buy the 1.5T engine. That is the one that normally have the turbo issue. Buy the 2.0T accord instead. A lot of reviews must have told you this.

Thank you @Nurey.

I appreciates your feedback.

@Trymeee, Thanks
The 2014, Honda Accord is superb and great emotional attachment to it.

I think the @seatrade accord na N1.5T, truly my reviews as has correctly shows that most issues are from the 1.5t engines.

But I just wanted a fuel economy car, I DON'T drive like Formular 1 or Michael Schumacher.

I don't do all those James Bond Driving, maybe, just maybe once in a very very long while, I can do not certainly not.

Infact, I don't even rev. my cars, I just start the engine and engage to drive after like a minute or 2mins.

I believe the 1.5T offers a better economy on the fuel than the 2.0T. Well, I was told a man will treat is woman the way he treats his car. And wooooow the ladies won't love that gentleman treatment.

Your 2014, is it 3.5 or 2.4 talking of the engine size?

The 2.0T is available with a more advanced 10-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.5T can have a CVT. Obviously, the 1.5T offers a better fuel economy. Is the Turbo issue the major issue in the 1.5T and what's the cause of it.

Oga, how have you been coping with the CVT in Honda Accord 2014.

The reviews I have been getting is not encouraging.

Been hearing of the issues but never experienced it. I even heard most 2014 and 15 were recalled. Through it all, I take maintenance very seriously apart, I use a fully synthetic transmission fluid not ATF due to the fact CVT transmissions utilize a belt and pulley system that requires a fluid with specific frictional properties to ensure smooth and efficient power transfer. also, The high operating temperatures of CVTs necessitate a fluid that can withstand heat and prevent oxidation. I believe once you understand your vehicle and take to caution, you're good to go.




Perhaps, I've just been lucky so far.

@Nurey
My 2014 Accord is a 2.4L engine with CVT.
Got is the car 2022 at 125,000 miles and it is 3years now, I have only change the CVT oil with HCF, 4pieces of 1litre bottles when I was experiencing jerking at between 20- 30 MPH.

I take my maintenance so religiously, the engine oil has Mobil 0w-20 from Mobil dealership.

No issues, at all..

I think most people that had issues, with CVT must have either used non-recommended oil or has totally neglected maintaiance.

Am fine with CVT, the starting can be slow but at optimum speed, Don't Dare it or under estimate it.
No issues, at all... CVT has been seamless..


@Chingyyyy878
I will recommend and rate the Honda Accord 2013 - 2017 over the Camry of same generation.

I own the Accord 2013 and my Elder bro own the Camry, 2013, i4 engines.
The only difference is that the camry has a good pickup.

Every other thing the Accord dusts the Camry.

Hence, my choice for the 1.5t engine or Hybrid for the Accord 2020.

I prioritise fuel economy, it is a Rule of Thumb for me.

@Spoilerx,

I bought 4 Packs of HCF CVT oils from a dealers from Tradefair market.

You can also get it from @Luvinghubby at Oyingbo market, search for @Luvinghubby here on Nairaland.

Be waring of were you get it from because of fake products.
My CVT has always been a so smooth ride back to back especially when you are going at constant speed, it drives so smooth, so smooth is the word.

Thank you so much

Big men thread. I no fit relate

SeaTrade:
Culprit found,saw it personally.
Crack in the turbo outlet into the engine,causes air imbalance into cylinders,hence ruining the turbo.
Bought the turbo already.
Thanks for all your help.

hello chief, please I need your contact. I have similar issues.. an I have spent a lot.. Thank you!

Have you checked if the car is supposed to be using premium unleaded fuel only? That's the reason for the failed turbo in most cars.

Oil quality and oil change duration, inefficient and ineffective cooling are the most common causes of failure of turbos, FOD (foreign object damage) cause turbo failure too.

These three factors are the major causes of failure of turbo. Fuel quality may cause it but its not as common as these three factors. Learn to research properly before speaking.



Pro tip for turbo car owners:
When you drive for a long distance, or after performing a spirited driving and you arrived at your destination, DO NOT JUST immediately switch off your car, doing this is called HOT STOP and would create HEAT SPOTS, its harmful for the turbo and the health of the engine itself, instead, 2-5mins before you get to your destination, reduce your hard spirited driving or ease off on the driving gradually, then park at your destination, still allow the car to idle for 2-3minutes to allow oil and coolant flow thru the turbo and the engine. This will aid proper uniform cooling of the engine, prevent coking, and cooking of the oil. Doing this will prolong he life of your engine and turbos.
