QUESTION
Is a used Honda Accord Crosstour worth buying?
Generally, yes — a used Honda Accord Crosstour can be worth buying if you want a comfortable, quiet, slightly unusual vehicle and you find one in good condition at the right price.
It has a lot going for it:
- It’s based on the 8th-generation Honda Accord, so the driving feel and basic engineering are solid.
- It offers a smooth ride, a practical hatchback cargo area, and available AWD.
- Because the styling was polarizing, it often depreciated faster than more conventional Hondas, which can make it a good value on the used market.
Best years to consider are usually the 2013–2015 models. Those models got the updated 3.5L V6 and 6-speed automatic, plus some interior and tech improvements. A 2.4L four-cylinder was also available on some trims for buyers who want better fuel economy.
The main caution is maintenance history, especially on V6 models. Earlier years are more likely to have oil-consumption concerns tied to Honda’s VCM system, so it’s smart to check service records carefully and get a pre-purchase inspection.
Bottom line: it’s a good used buy if the price is right and the specific vehicle has been well maintained. If you want, I can also tell you which model years/trims to target or avoid.
