I needed a new car. Something that was under 30k, had great reliability, came with an extended warranty, was easy on gas, and simply practical. So I walked away with a 2016 Accord EX-L with Navigation/Honda sensing. 26,750 plus roughly a grand for the 7 year/100k extended warranty, so 28k OTD.
I wanted to be the first one with the 2016 Accord.
You beat me by 8 days.
Congrats!!
Even though mine only has 18 miles on it, I have driven basically all trims of the 2016 Accords for several hundred miles each. You really cannot go wrong with this car. PM me if you need help with pricing on any models.

I chose blue because I knew I would be much less likely to mod it compared to if it were white or black.

I forgot to disclose that I work at a Honda dealership one day a week as my side job. I got $1500 for being an employee, $500 for graduating recently, and another $500 I believe for financing through Honda. I don't know the processing fees at different dealers, but at this one it is $599, and I got it waived for being an employee. Everything was smooth sailing until I got to the finance guy to discuss the extended warranty. It took me two hours to talk him down one grand off of the extended warranty.

I have not had the chance to drive the 16' accord yet. Does it drive different than say 13-15 Accord? or the changes are pure tech and cosmetic related?
Are you still keeping the TL? Or did you trade it in?
Nice pickup and what a great looking car!
The TL has actually been totaled unfortunately. I got t-boned and at 200k miles the car was written off as a total loss.

I cannot say that it drives much differently honestly. I haven't spent an extensive amount of time in 2015 Accords like I have the 2016 Accords though.
I love the addition of Apple Car play. Definitely one of my favorite features that they added on the EX and up models. I also don't believe the Honda Sensing package was available before. It comes with "adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, automatic pre-collision braking and lane-keep assist".
This page pretty much breaks all the differences down:
Car has been nothing short of great to me in the 4k miles that I have driven it. The features make it way more pleasurable to drive. I don't think I'll ever be able to go without keyless smart entry, navigation with real time traffic, Apple Car Play, adaptive cruise control, a side mirror camera, and a leather wrapped steering wheel in my future cars.
I've been fighting the mod bug hard, but decided today that I would at least get some tint. Excuse the dirty car, I am going to wash it today. Here is 35% all around.
Before:
After:
A friend gave me some free new splash guards and wheel locks. I haven't put the wheel locks on yet though. The splash guards will come off when I can get my hands on a lip kit.
This is not my car, but I have a sport grill waiting to be thrown on.

Finally had some time today to throw the front spoiler and grill on.
Before:
After:
I wish I didn't suck at taking pictures so much, the front looks very aggressive in person now. I just gotta make some time to do the sides next. As far as the rear is considered, I have to decide how badly I want duals. I'm going to need a new bumper if I decide to go that route.
Front spoiler looks great.... lol at mod bug.... Yup it hits hard especially with WOP.... I'm ordering some coils next month with my settlement check.....

I thought by avoiding the WOP I was set on buying I could avoid this, but I guess not haha. I'll check to see how things go with your coils. Once I finish this OEM lip kit, I wouldn't put coils past me anymore.
Are you on Drive Accord by chance? I made an account the other day finally, but I don't find that site all that helpful.
I've been on there since 2013 when I had my 13' accord. Site sucks though, a lot of the people have no taste in cars so those accords look riced out. The classified se tin is not great at all... I'm just usually in the "what did you do to your 9th gen today" thread.

I have noticed the same thing on there haha... I am actually surprised at the lack of after market support. I thought it would be a little bit better than this even though the Accord is basically just a DD car.

Honestly, if you want stuff for the Accord you have to buy it new. I can't find anywhere where I can get slightly used parts for it.
^ Pick up a set of Sport wheels, instant improvement.
Wasn't expecting to get these nor did I really want them, but somehow I landed a pair .
I need to throw on the rear deck lid spoiler and side skirts now. I really don't know what I am going to do about the rear. I want the dual exhaust setup for the looks, but I can't justify buying a new bumper and getting it painted to attain that look.
Whoever designs the stock wheels needs to be fired..
Don't think you have to worry about those wheel locks
I thought the same thing, but someone actually jacked two sets from the dealership I work at on weekends. I don't have a picture of the other car. This was two months ago.
