Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  Still a worthy choice - 2004 Honda Accord
  By BMWGOZ - April 19 - 10:00 am

  There are a lot of great cars on the market however, as an owner of 2 previous Hondas and the incredible improvements brought me back to my 3rd. Great reliabilty and dependability on the previous vehicles and dont suspect that has changed. Cost of ownership has always been low and quality high. Thoughtful design, safety and functionality. It is worthy of at least a test drive if your in the market for a sedan.

  Typical Honda - 2000 Honda Accord
  By dgoetz - April 19 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my 2000 Accord EX new -- its my third Accord and I continue to be impressed with the quality and reliability of this product. More European than a Camry (tighter suspension and steering) and bit more sporty. The 4 cylinder will not impress you (vs. a V6) but is fine for more driving situations.

  This car has it all - 2006 Honda Accord
  By Jay - April 19 - 5:10 am

  I just purchased the car a few weeks ago and have about 500 miles on it. I had to choose between the V6 model and the V4. My car 4 cylinder drives a lot more smoothly, like the sedan. I noticed that the gears switch a lot more smoothly than the 6 cylinder also. Lastly the steering is a lot looser. The 6 cylinder is def. drives like a sports car and includes the traction control. Id highly recommend this car if you want to spend in the low 20s and want somethign that looks sporty but at the same time offers the interior luxury.

  Im Impressed - 2006 Honda Accord
  By TheGraduate - April 19 - 12:03 am

  I love how much fun this car is to drive, even with an automatic...everything in its driving reflexes feels "spring-loaded". It has very accurate, crisp steering, and the perfect balance (for me, anyway) between handling and comfort on the highway. I drive in bumpy rush hour traffic every morning and it makes the drive so much more enjoyable. You really cant go wrong with this car, it does everything well. I get 36-37 mpgs on highway trips at 75 MPH, and never have a problem passing a dangerous dump truck, just hit the pedal and it takes off! Honda has another hit on their hands with the Accord.

  Really Reliable Car - 2002 Honda Accord
  By Reo Chavallos - April 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought it in Nov 1999, and drive it tree years already. And I did not have any problems with it. It is really high reliable, quality car. It take very little money for maintainance, I do only oil change and brake service. I would recommend it for limited budget, and for people how dont dream about BMW. Thakns

  The best in reliability - 1997 Honda Accord
  By kagodo - April 17 - 10:00 am

  Excellent overall performance. I almost bought a Plymouth Breeze which was one year older and half the price. No regrets.
