The Accord, Honda's second most popular model behind the Civic, is offered in two body styles: 2-door coupe and 4-door sedan. Both the coupe and sedan are available with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine (23/34 mpg) or a larger, more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine (20/30 mpg). Each engine offers a solid compromise between smooth, powerful acceleration and fuel efficiency, which are both hallmarks of Honda's meticulous attention to quality and refinement. Both engine models are available with either a 5-speed auto or 6-speed manual, while the V6 in sedan trim is only available with the automatic.
The Accord EX-L w/ Navigation is the most feature-rich model in the lineup and offers luxury and convenience items, namely a voice-guided integrated navigation system and leather-trimmed interior. Base pricing for the sedan starts at $21,380, while the coupe starts at $22,980.
