The Optima is hands-down one of Kia’s best-selling vehicles. With its robust fuel economy, available tech upgrades, and generous warranty, the Kia Optima is a solid choice. On the other side of the aisle, the Accord might as well be Honda’s flagship sedan. It boasts incredible safety ratings, gorgeous styling, and superb reliability.
There are plenty of elements to consider when pitting the Honda Accord vs. the Kia Optima. While these are both fantastic sedans, the Honda Accord pulls ahead as an all-around superior vehicle that holds its value for years to come. When it’s time to look for a new Accord, stop by Harrisonburg Honda, where we’ve put the fun back into car shopping. Our professional and caring staff will make sure you enjoy looking, learning, and leaving with a new Honda to take home.
Every year, both Honda and Kia raise the bar with the newest and best tech available on the road. You won’t be disappointed by either manufacturer’s offers. Both cars have options to add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a large, touch-screen display and a ten-speaker stereo system.
While both cars will ensure that you’re rolling with the latest and greatest tech, the Accord has upgrade options that just aren’t available with the Optima: mobile hotspot, wireless phone charging, and satellite navigation, to name a few.
If you’re unsure which upgrades will fit into your budget, find some time to talk with our financial team to learn more.
It doesn’t matter if you’re on a solo mission or driving with a full crew of family and friends, keeping your passengers safe is a top priority. When comparing the Honda Accord vs. the Kia Optima, you’ll find that both vehicles have incredible safety features, such as lane departure warning systems and rearview cameras. It’s hard to compete with the Accord, however, especially with its smart airbag technology. That means your airbags deploy only in the necessary locations with the proper amount of force.
Stop by our showroom to learn about all of the newest safety features brought to you by Honda.

You want a car that will get you where you’re going. When looking at the Honda Accord vs. the Kia Optima, you’ll see some major similarities and some major differences. The Kia Optima comes equipped with a 2.4-liter I4 engine but can be upgraded to a turbo 1.6-liter I4.
The Accord starts at a 1.5-liter turbo I4 and can be fitted with a 2.0-liter turbo. Both vehicles have similar amounts of horsepower and torque, but the Honda Accord has a better EPA-rated fuel economy rating and comes with a CVT transmission.

I just bought my new Hyundai Santa Cruz from Harrisonburg Hyundai... I am absolutely so happy with the service they provided me. They went through leaps and bounds to get us the vehicle we wanted off the lot. They were all so kind and patience with us as we made phone calls for paper work we needed. Thanks Harrisonburg Hyundai for being amazing at your jobs and being sooo kind.

Brian Hicks made the car buying experience amazingly easy. Never thought I would buy a Hyundai, a hybrid, in Harrisonburg (I live in NoVa), or would enjoy the process. Love the feel and features of the car. And unlike other dealers, Brian was helpful and knowledgeable but not pushy. He didn't make me talk to a "manager" after my first (or second) test drives. When I told him I had limited time to pick-up the car, he worked to collect as much info in advance and got me in and out with the new car in about 30 minutes!
Thanks again, Brian!

If you’re ever looking to buy a Hyundai, this is the place to do it! Christopher James was absolutely incredible with helping me purchase a 2023 Tucson. He was very honest and knowledgeable about the vehicle and services. And lifetime state inspection for the vehicle is a great plus at the dealership.

My son and I had been looking for a car for a while. A couple weeks ago we met Javan Jackson whom helped us out tremendously. We explained to him what we wanted and needed. Then last week he pulled through with a great car at the right price. My son was able to drive away with reliable transportation and a hot ride. My son and I were happy with Javan's service and the Hyundai staff also. I have owned many Hyundai vehicles and highly recommend their services.

Hands down the best experience I have ever had working with a Hyundai dealership. The staff from the top down are very professional and very helpful. They will bend over backwards to take care of their customers. Nobody has a magic wand but they still seem to be able to deliver the magic. Thank you guys!!

My wife and I encountered an issue while traveling on a recent road trip through Virginia while hauling our trailer and motorcycle. The service writer (Melissa) and the mechanic (Jay) were among the top service people I honestly believe that I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life. They were super helpful in getting us back on our way and we couldn’t have been more delighted that we were lucky enough to make it to this Ford dealership before the problem become catastrophic.
Thank you very much Melissa and Jay and my hats off to the dealership as they know how to hire awesome people:)
Thanks again!

Harrisonburg ford is without a doubt the best vehicle shop around! Everyone always greets you with a smile and a refreshing attitude. It’s contagious you can’t help but be happy while waiting for an oil change. The salesman are extremely pleasant and very passionate but never pushy about the vehicles they offer. I honestly can’t believe I ever went anywhere else before finding this place!!

I purchased a Honda Accord and everyone there was awesome. My sales representative Tony Morris-Cousins was great. He took the time to explain the features of the vehicle and was able to answer any questions I had. My overall experience is definitely 5 stars. I would recommend Harrisonburg Honda to anyone looking to purchase a new or used vehicle.
J Allan
Purchased a 14 Civic and the experience here was the best. My sales rep Skylar was very pleasant to work with and understood what I was in the market for. Matt was a huge help with the financing and answering questions I had. Not once was I uncomfortable or pushed into anything I wasn't interested in. I will return here when I am looking for a car purchase in the future.
Tracy C
I purchased a 2021 Honda Civic. Tony Morris-Cousins was my sales representative and he was awesome! Exceptional customer service, very knowledgeable on vehicles, and professional. Travis in finance was so easy to work with and provided excellent customer service as well. Best experience purchasing a new vehicle!

Bought my first car as an adult here 2 years ago. I don’t live in Harrisonburg and had to make the deal over the phone. The salesman was kind, informative, fair, and respectful. He gave me a fantastic deal on the car. And when I came to pickup the car, all the documents had been prepared and the process was seamless.
If you’re looking to buy a car and want to be treated with fairness and respect, while also getting a great car at a reasonable price, you can’t go wrong with Harrisonburg Honda. 10/10 would recommend.
Laverne F
OUTSTANDING group of people. They were very helpful, very friendly and most professional. There was no pressure to make the purchase yet there was professionalism to determine that the vehicle did fill the requirements of both our wants and needs. It was a 3 hour drive to the dealership but it was well worth it. WOW, thank you Harrisonburg Ford for making our new vehicle the most talked about church vehicle in the county
Jennifer L
With this being my first car buying experience, I could not be happier. I worked with a very informative and charismatic dealer, Keith, who gave me all information up front and didn't try to hide any details. I would definitely recommend coming to this dealership.
Meg
Service was outstanding. Service department seems trustworthy, the service advisors were SO friendly and helpful, and were completely transparent as far as what the cost would be. Even the shuttle driver was friendly and great to talk to. Outstanding service! Highly recommend and am very satisfied.
Aspen Phares
Kyle did an amazing job selling me my new car! Made it super fast a pain free, in and out in a short amount of time! Thanks for being awesome and shifting me towards the car of my dream!
Nate Ives
I bought my 2013 Honda Civic from Tyler Rich last year on August 31, 2016 to get rid of my lemon of a car. Tyler was extremely professional and gave me an amazing deal on my car. He even put a full tank of gas and got it detailed for me!! It is now September 27, 2017 and I've put about 16k on her and not a single thing wrong with it. Thanks again to Tyler and H-Burg Honda for a great car and a very professional and friendly experience!!
Tara Long
We had a great experience and I highly recommend Tyler Rich for any of your vehicle needs! He is awesome to work with and has continuously helped us with different questions and things since purchasing our new Accord. We will definitely be back to see him soon for our next vehicle purchase!

2009 Honda Fit airbag inflators were recall items - scheduled about 5 days out 8am - got there early- hour later heading out - noticed the stereo wouldn't power after the install a few hours of being on a couple business calls- came back they were very concerned with this - took it apart- found a loose wire and fuse popped- repair made and away we go.
Caitlin Pitts
I had a good experience at Harrisonburg Honda and am very happy with my new car. Kyle helped me with it, and I really appreciated his friendly, down-to-earth style. I would certainly come back again!
Chris Amos
I've bought 7 vehicles from this place.... top notch place. They've always taken care of me.
Roger Dodd
The service was top notch, from the start of the visit to the end everyone was friendly and helpful. The lady at the checkout noticed that I had an Armed Forces logo on my water bottle and when she realized that I was a veteran she refunded me the amount of the discount. She didn't have to do that, I would never have known and she was very respectful. Both thumbs up!!
Lisa Marie
My buying experience went smoothly. But the real story is in their service. Twice I have been in for service and it has been very different from other dealerships! Wow is all I can say. Fast service with a smile! Everyone is friendly and cheerful and makes you feel welcome. Walked me through the checkout. Thanked me for my business. And did what I asked for. A+
Elise Poffenberger
What an amazing experience! We drove here after having a negative experience elsewhere and I'm so glad we did. Though everyone we interacted with was helpful and friendly, Kyle, our sales associate, was the BEST! He was friendly, professional, informative, etc. The process was smooth and efficient and all of our questions were answered. We love Harrisonburg Honda!! We'd definitely buy another car here.
Jen Kratz
We had an awesome experience with Harrisonburg Honda, particularly with Cristian Floyd. We walked in not sure what we were looking for exactly and left driving exactly what we always wanted. Cristian handled the whole experience with grace. We will certainly be back to buy our next car!
Jordan Conner
Such a great car buying experience! Maria was amazing and the process was super smooth. After going to other dealerships, I can honestly say Harrisonburg Honda is the best all around. I look forward to working with you guys in the future and seeing you soon for service! Thanks again. So in love with my car!
