Default 2012 Honda accord EX-L

Do Hondas sound different than normal motors?? Sort of like a diesel?? Mine seems to sound a little different not sure it it's normal or not. Only at idle it sounds similar to a diesel car only has 43,000

Did you buy the car new? Or did you only notice it now?


2012+ Honda used a direct injection engine. They call it Earth Dream. DI makes more noise. Honda does not suppress it as well as other manufactures. So you get that diesel sound.

Direct Injection began with the 2013 model year.
