Pros
Fuel Economy
Amazing highway mileage for a V6, in the range of 31-33 so far.
Power
It's the equivalent of a base-level muscle-car out of the 60's (my high school - college years) and it's fun to relive that. The engine completely changes personality when asked: It comes into its full happy song when the VTEC lets it loose, like the Tri-Powers and Dual Quads of yesteryear.
Ride and Handling
Accords are legendary for being docile transportation until you need to hurry; then they cover ground very quickly, carving through on-ramps and highway corners like they were attached to the pavement. No drama, just total competence. The whole car feels like it was carved from one piece of material; everything is where it should be, always doing what you need effortlessly. This is my 5th Accord and my 8th Honda (the other 3 were Preludes); I'm a "lifer" with no regrets from any of them. They never left me stranded, they were efficient and a blast to drive.
Cons
Technology and Entertainment
I don't mind it, but it's a 2008 design and technology, for example: you do have bluetooth, but the audio entertainment is CD. I don't use either one so it's not a problem for me, just that anyone purchasing a 2012 Accord should be aware of it's "age" in that area, having been first offered on the market in 2008.
Pros
Reliability
Dependable. my 4th Honda

Pros
Styling
this car is gorgeous! have been in love with the way it looks from the day i first saw her 360 view on the website.
Power
the legendary J35 the V6 models are equipped with is an excellent Honda VTEC engine! love it
Value
you get so much car for the money! seats 5 easily, the trunk is big enough to (illegally) fit 2 more. lots of cargo space and great features, for about the same price, if not less than a regular 8th/9th gen accord.
Cons
Visibility
seeing in your blind spots and judging if you can safely change lanes can be difficult at times, but blind spot mirrors have helped tremendously.
Fuel Economy
i've been averaging 18 city and 25 hwy, ~21-22 combined which isn't the worst for a decently sized v6 equipped wagon but newer models and I4 equipped ones fare much better.
Technology and Entertainment
bluetooth is functional, but not very good and the incoming audio is very quiet compared to music so you have to turn it up a lot. completely manageable though.
