The Honda Accord is built superbly and it is interior expires market too. These two things combined can challenge the kind of BMW 3 series and Audi A4 in the upper executive class. It is an excellent cruiser thanks to its subtle design. The Accord is refined and comfy too. It's available either as a saloon or estate. The Honda Accord includes a smart style however it doesn't stay ahead of the crowd and it doesn't attract such as the radical looking Honda Civic. The badge benefit of BMW and Audi cannot be matched by Accord however it looks more up market than its rivals for example Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. The inside is excellent rich in build quality.
There isn't much of the choice with regards to engines for the Accord. Only two petrol's and one diesel can be found. There's smooth 2.0 litre VTEC petrol which churns out 154bhp while the 2.4 litre is brisk and offers 198bhp. The very best engine is the 2.2 litre diesel which offers 148bhp and is ultra quiet. The Accord continues to be awarded five-star Euro NCAP rating which adds to Honda's reliability. Accord reaches the top of the list with regards to safety, thanks to Honda's own testing facility. It's six airbags, ESP and anti-whiplash headrests as standard.
Honda Accord is not available like a hatchback that makes it less practical then its rivals. There's a narrow opening for the boot so taking out large items and putting them in can be challenging. The boot space stands at 467litres that is a lot less than its rivals. The rear seats split and fold to make room for longer items. There is great deal of headroom but the rear passenger footwall is quite tight also it lags behind Toyota Avensis or Skoda Superb. The 4 model line is well equipped as features like cruise control and air-con fitted as standard.
Accord can be purchased in a GT spec which gives sporty extras for example bigger wheels, aerodynamic body kit, leather trimmed controls and alloy gear knob. Honda doesn't offer stop-start technology yet which makes this Accord far behind its main rivals in emissions and economy. The diesel is the most practical because it returns approximately 50mpg and it has emissions of 138g/km. The two.0litre VTEC petrol churns out over 40mpg and 159g/km having a manual gearbox. However the bigger petrol's and automatic variants are not economical and eco friendly.
