r/11thGenAccord

This seems to be a somewhat common issue. Some folks swear by the comfort of the driver seat while some don’t. Mine seems to be the uncomfortable type. I’ve driven many vehicles and test drove an Acura RDX this morning that was super comfortable in comparison. I just came back from a 2 hr highway drive in my accord and tried every possible seat position combination. The seat cushions are just simply not thick or plush enough for driver comfort. I’ve had the same complaint from other people driving my car.

Tried couple of different Amazon cushions but not a big difference.

Has anyone figured out an actual solution via the dealership? Would they look at this under the warranty? Could there possibly be something weird with the cushion quality or materials?

A lot of people still think the Accord Hybrid uses some kind of CVT or DCT. It doesn’t. This is the real two‑motor e:HEV system straight from Honda. (not a CVT) Thanks to Hot_Tradition_7591 for the clarification!

Anyone upgrade from a 9th Gen CVT to the 11th Gen Hybrid? How did you find the power and responsiveness?

Installed a rear sway bar on my 2026 Accord Sport. Keeping the car OEM+ and clean, but wanted sharper rotation without messing with ride comfort. Here’s the install, notes, and first impressions.

Tools & Parts

• Jack + stands
• 14mm / 12mm sockets
• Torque wrench
• RSB — I used a Progress 22 but Whiteline is also a quality option

Install Notes
Unhook the tailpipe hanger, then remove the brackets and end links.
Fish the old bar out through the exhaust side — that’s the only side with enough clearance.
Slide the new bar in the same way, reconnect the end links, and bolt the brackets back up.
Torque everything to spec: 43 lb‑ft for the brackets and 29 lb‑ft for the end link nuts.

Driving Impressions The rear feels more planted right away. Turn‑in is sharper, and the car rotates with less front‑end push, but the ride stays completely stock. No added harshness, no noise, and no weird behavior over bumps. It just feels more controlled mid‑corner and more confident when you load the chassis. Exactly the kind of OEM+ improvement I wanted.

Easy install, real improvement, still OEM+. Exactly what I wanted. More of my Accord build is over on ASHF.

2025 and my 2018 2.0T needs a new transmission. Will repair soon.

I’ve been driving my 2025 Accord Touring since December, and it’s been great, until recently. Over the last month, I’ve started hearing an annoying rattle coming from the front dashboard when I’m driving quietly. It’s frustrating because I really enjoy a silent cabin, and I shouldn't have to blast music just to drown out the noise.

Speaking of music, I also have a separate issue with the rear deck. When I play songs with heavy bass, the rear deck rattles like crazy due to the vibrations.
Has anyone dealt with similar issues in their 11th Gen Accord?

I’m wondering:

Will a Honda dealer actually fix these kinds of interior rattles under the factory warranty, or will they brush it off as "normal" or purely cosmetic?

If they won't cover it, what is the best way to address these yourself? I’ve heard about foam tape or sound-dampening materials, but I’m not sure where to start.
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated, thanks!
