The 2014 Honda Accord EX-L is a moderately easy car to maintain but does have its share of convoluted procedures. Depending on which side of the vehicle you’re working on, either the engine coolant reservoir or the air filter intake will need to be removed to access the headlights. The fog light must be accessed through a panel beneath the vehicle, which is a problem to navigate. The transmission fluid dipstick is located deep in the engine bay, proving a bit hazardous to remove and difficult to refill its reservoir with reliability.
But the 2014 Honda Accord does have many high points. The battery is easily accessible and its simple bracket set-up allows for an easy removal. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together and are quick to set up and remove when fixing a flat. The engine air filter is also easy to access, requiring no tools to disengage its housing.
