2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Kia Optima near Neptune, NJ
Vehicle shown above (left) is the 2017 Honda Accord with optional equipment.
If your search for your next midsize sedan has reached a standstill due to an overwhelming number of options, then let us at Coast Honda assist you. We have created this 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Kia Optima near Neptune, NJ, comparison to show you how the Accord easily tops the Optima in almost all categories. To see the Accord for yourself, stop by our dealership as soon as today.
Right away you’ll notice the Kia Optima begin to fall behind in power under the hood as you upgrade to higher trim levels. When you choose the Honda Accord Sport, you’ll have a standard 2.4L 4-cylinder engine with i-VTEC® technology that produces a spirited 189 horsepower. Your maximum speed actually decreases when you opt for the Kia Optima LX 1.6 model, as its standard 1.6L powertrain only manages to generate 178 horsepower. The Honda Accord also offers an available V6 engine on its higher trim levels and standard paddle shifters on the Sport trim level for an athletic feel. You won’t find paddle shifters on any of the Optima models and its powertrain options only offer as high as a 4-cylinder.
As you climb inside both of these midsize sedans, you’ll notice the differences between the Honda Accord and Kia Optima right away. A standard 7.7-inch central display is front and center in the Accord whereas the Optima only comes with a 5-inch display in its center console. During those long trips along Highway 18, your rear passengers will greatly appreciate the 38.5 inches of rear legroom, while you enjoy the roomy 58.6 inches of front shoulder room in the Honda Accord. With only 58.1 inches of front shoulder room and 35.6 inches of rear legroom in the Kia Optima, both you and your rear passengers may feel a bit squished. Enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your Accord with the standard moonroof when you upgrade to a higher model. This feature does not come standard on any of the trim levels in the Kia Optima, which means you’ll have to pay a little extra for this item. The interior is yet another area where the Accord tops the Optima in this 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Kia Optima near Neptune, NJ, competition.
At the base level of the Accord, innovative technology, such as automatic climate control comes standard. This feature is not even offered in the Kia Optima. Other features that you can only equip the Kia Optima with when you purchase a separate package is Apple CarPlay™1 and Android Auto™2 capability. Fortunately for you, these features come standard in the Accord EX model.
Clearly the winner of this 2017 Honda Accord vs 2017 Kia Optima near Neptune, NJ, comparison is the Honda Accord! To learn more about this one-of-a-kind midsize sedan, or to test drive one, visit us at Coast Honda today!

Great Experience!





“ I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my experience in getting My mother in laws leased car turned over to a finance at this week. I worked with Chris Voigt and Mike in finance and they were so helpful in a bad situation that my mother in law caused. She was going to trade in her leased Accord for a new one but never did a test drive. When she went to take delivery she was so uncomfortable with the new car she panicked and could not drive it. She is 86 yrs old and can not adjust well to change or make decisions easily. They were so patient helped her keep her existing car by getting it financed through Honda. I would highly recommend your dealership to friends and family and want to make sure your staff is recognized for the great job they did. ”
Fantastic Experience!





“ Just bought a new 2018 Accord and i love it! I have purchased many cars from Coast Honda and always found their sales and service outstanding. Pat put me in just the right car for me, and a just the right price. I a very pleased with my car buying experience at Coast Honda. ”
Great Parts and Service Department!





“ Always friendly service department. Parts department explains everything thoroughly. ”
No Pressure!





“ Robin and Dennis were both very friendly, helpful and low pressure. They gave me a great deal and quickly found exactly the car I was looking for at another dealer. Bob the sales manager was also great to work with. I would definitely buy from them again! ”
Jeff was Great!





“ Everyone at Coast Honda was extremely friendly and very helpful-especially Jeff! I'm thrilled with my new Certified Pre-owned purchase, and I'm confident I got the best deal out there! Very low pressure atmosphere which I particularly liked. I would definitely recommend buying a vehicle here, and will probably buy my next one here too... ”
Two Great Experiences!





“ A few years ago I had a great experience at Coast Honda and I just had another one. When I purchased my car, Dennis was very helpful but also gave me plenty of time to think without putting pressure on me. His approach is why I bought the car from this dealership. Fast forward a few years, and my car had a problem shortly after the warranty expired. Coast Honda looked at my car the same day, even though they had no appointments. They also helped me with the cost of repairs. Really above and beyond service by John K. and Nick. Thank you! ”
Great Service





“ Best staff and service in the area. I will always buy a Honda because of them. Mark and his staff in the service center are honestly the best group of guys and are gentlemen in every aspect of the word. They treat everyone like family ”
The Best !





“ I can not say enough about this place. They are the BEST. Robin and Liz gave me a super fair price immediately in an email. Other dealers refused to even come close and toms river told me, in a very arrogant way, that there was no way I would get the car for what coast offered and let me walk out the door. Well, I got even better, so they were sooo wrong. I saved a lot of money. Dennis was our salesman, and honestly was so nice ...but I barely spent any time with him because this deal was so easy and so quick. Seriously, don't bother going anywhere else. ”
Excellent experience!





“ No hassles! Quick, friendly, honest, and no shenanigans! Thank you, Liz and Jeff, for your much-appreciated sale! ”
"Civic to HRV"





“ This is our third Honda lease with this dealership and this third time was the easiest by far! We are so happy with the new car and working with Jack made what can be a grueling and exhausting process so much better. When we got there, the car was ready and waiting for us. Jack is so professional and helpful. We will definitely be going back to Coast Honda for our next lease in three years! ”
"Friendly and Professional Internet Sales Team"





“ From the initial contact with Liz Mendum the Internet Sales Manager, the test drive and explanation of the vehicle with Jack Gailing, to the finalization of the purchase with Mike Campbell it was a very positive experience. I was treated fairly and the prices were better than the other dealers that contacted me. i would recommend this dealership. ”
First Time Car Buyer - Big Help





“ Pat was great! I'm a younger guy buying my first new car and he made it so easy. I dealt with a bunch of other nasty salesmen at other dealerships and was glad when I went to Coast Honda. Everybody there was so nice and they got me exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend anyone go to Coast Honda for a new car!! ”
Wonderful experience!!! Pat Marotta was terrific salesman!!!





“ We just purchased our Honda CR-V EXL at Coast Honda in Sea Girt last week. This is the second time we have purchased a Honda from Coast and both times were met with terrific salesman who were courteous and professional. Last week we came to Coast after having a discouraging experience at Kay Honda in Eatontown, N.J. As soon as we arrived at Coast, we met with Pat Marotta who made our experience delightful. Pat was extremely familiar with the model we were interested in and made the process a pleasure. Pat was honest, personable and very professional throughout. We would recommend Pat to any of our friends considering a new car purchase. We love our new Honda and appreciate the experience at Coast. Thank you Pat Marotta!!! ”
Best Experience I Ever Had Purchasing a Car





“ I recently purchased a Honda Accord from Coast Honda. Over the last 40 years I have purchased several cars, but this by far was my best experience. The sales associate I dealt with was Jack Gailing. He was personable, knowledgeable and attentive to all of my needs. A true purchasing pleasure. ”
THE EASIEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFETIME!





“ I'll make this review short and simple, just like my experience with Coast Honda of Sea Girt. In all of my years buying cars, I must say that this was the most pleasurable and convenient transaction I've ever encountered! I literally picked out my car online, received an email quote, spoke with Robin Hines on the phone for about 25 minutes, and wahlah, I bought a brand new HONDA CIVIC COUPE! The next business day I walked in, signed the paperwork and left the dealership within a half hour in my brand new Civic! EASY PEASY! I absolutely LOVE it & I know I received the CHEAPEST PRICE out of all other dealers in south jersey without having to go through the hassle of haggling back & forth hoping that you're not getting ripped off. ....BUT NO WORRIES HERE! I would highly recommend Robin Hines, Jack Gailing, Liz Mendum, & the rest of the gang over at Coast Honda to anyone in the market for a new Honda. THEY'VE EARNED MY BUSINESS AND TRUST & GAINED A LOYAL CUSTOMER. ....THANK YOU SO MUCH! BLESSINGS TO ALL! Andrea, Toms River, NJ ”
Loyal to Honda





“ This is my 4th vehicle I have leased from Coast Honda. Always a pleasure to work with Jim Kavanagh. He is honest, efficient, and courteous and has always made the experience a pleasure! ”
Easy and Breezy!





“ I had the best experience with Coast Honda. Starting with John Wilk then to Jack Gailing, finishing off with Mike Campbell. It was the smoothest car transaction I have ever had. John explained my options thoroughly and honestly. Jack, as they say is a Jack of all trades...he was picking the colors, test driving, writing up the paperwork etc. for my next stop with Mike. The dept that Mike works in is my most dreaded dept. It was so smooth and friendly. Professional and honest real people. Larry Iannaccone hired the best! From start to finish, which includes test driving, going back and forth on colors and bathroom break...2 1/2 hours. Now that is service. I love my Honda and will be back. Thank You! ~Carrie ”
