Auto review: Again, Honda's Accord stands above the midsize sedan pack - The Keene Sentinel
If you'd take a reasonably sized, attractive sedan or coupe and then add a bit of the joie de vivre largely absent in this segment, you'd have the Honda Accord. Or at least that has largely been the case outside a bloated 2008 redesign that cost the Accord some of its elan. But since overhauling the model in 2012, Honda has been endowing the Accord with the qualities that has long made it a favorite among Americans. While both sedans and coupes get the facelift, sedans will also get an aluminum hood. As before, the front-wheel-drive Accord is offered in six trim levels, starting with the LX and rising to the Sport, EX, EX-L, EX-L V-6 and Touring grades. The first four trim levels have four-cylinder engines, while the other two have V-6s. Like its available trims, the Accord's power is also unchanged, but Honda is hoping that other engineering changes will bump their Environmental Protection... The base engine is a 2. 4-liter double overhead-cam four-cylinder that provides 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, although Sport models get slightly more: 189 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque.
