Hello, Im having trouble trying to decide on which engine I know 2.0 woud be better but not sure I can afford Im also looking at the New Corolla Cross, which is very basic and slow , but it has a cvt first gear I just dont know? Any thoughts on these? Please help ! Thanks
What transmission does the Honda have? If it is CVT, I would get the Corolla.
pretty sure Honda stopped offering the Accord with a manual in 2020 or early 2021. So that leaves only 2 offerings, which are CVT or 10 spd. automatic. The 10 speed automatic is the one I'd go for (Sport & Touring). The other trims have the CVT.
Thanks
Thanks so much !!!
if you get a 1.5T Accord, make sure to use 0W-16 oil instead of 0W-20 to avoid the oil dilution. The 2.0T Accord is the better option but kind of expensive. Since you’re looking at Accords, try checking out Toyota Camrys too
With the Accord all the non-hybrid trims for 2022 have the turbocharged engine, so only option in Accord to avoid turbocharged is getting a hybrid. If you want to stick to a Honda you might want to consider the new Civic too; the LX and Sport trims offer the 2.0L naturally aspired engine. If you want a turbocharged one then the EX or Touring trim.
Below is a video from Scotty regarding the Honda turbocharged engine and how to take care of it.

Honda Accord 1.5L w/10-speed is a good combo.
