Honda Accord





Honda Accord

Honda Accord few vehicles over the past three decades have garnered as much respect in America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this by being sporty, glamorous or sexy. Instead, it has, for every year, offered what most Americans want out of their daily transportation. Take an Honda Accord for a test-drive and you'll find it comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive.


 If you find Honda Accord you will also find  backed by a solid reputation for reliability, strong resale value and an emphasis on safety.It is true that some competing sedans or coupes hold certain advantages over the Honda Accord  Some are faster while others are more prestigious or less expensive. What's special about the Honda Accord  though, is its completeness. It scores well in all of the categories that matter to people shopping for a family-friendly Honda Accord sedan or coupe, not just a few. When examined from a holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why this Honda Accord model has become an automotive icon and one of our editors' top recommendations.

The 2013 Honda Accord represents the start of the ninth generation. And for once, it's not bigger and heavier than the one it replaces. Honda Accord is likely a response to criticism that the previous Honda Accord had become too large and too soft. As such, this slightly smaller successor not only boasts segment-leading fuel economy but also marks a return to the sporty driving dynamics of much earlier Honda Accord.
Within the less bulky styling Honda Accord is improved interior with a more cohesive design and higher-quality materials. The switchgear is less confusing than before and the Honda Accord ink system allows connectivity for audio streaming and social media as well as iPhone and Android apps. And despite the newest Honda Accord measuring nearly 4 inches shorter in length, there is more rear seat legroom and trunk capacity. Trim levels are the familiar base LX (sedan only), luxury EX, leather-lined EX-L and leather-and-navigation-equipped EX-L with Navi. New trims include the enthusiast-oriented Sport (sedan), loaded Touring (sedan) and LX-S (essentially the LX version of the coupe).

Honda Accord under the hood, direct injection debuts for the standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, Honda Accord adding power (now up to 185-189 horsepower) and greater fuel efficiency. Although a six-speed manual transmission is standard on nearly all four-cylinder Honda Accord trims, most will likely be fitted with the optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Honda Accord available 3.5-liter V6 provides 278 hp and is backed by a conventional six-speed automatic in all trims except for the EX-L coupe, where it can also be matched to a six-speed manual transmission.In reviews, this Honda Accord impresses with its more agile demeanor, spirited acceleration (with both engines), refined CVT performance, excellent fuel economy and roomy, comfortable cabin. The Honda Accord' s crisp handling should delight even those who don't consider themselves driving enthusiasts, as the car simply drives smaller than it is. However, the ride is on the firm side, which may not suit those used to a plusher ride in their family sedan or coupe. Overall, this is the best Honda Accord we've seen in quite some time -- no small accomplishment considering how consistently well-regarded this segment staple has been.
