The Honda Accord is the Labrador retriever of sedans. If you want a hassle-free, pleasing family car with a reputation for quality and an immediate familiarity, it's hard to go wrong with the Acco
If cutting-edge looks, all-wheel drive or fuel economy over 36 mpg are among your must- haves, look beyond the Accord. The Honda is good at many things, but its balanced approach isn't for all. A
The most surprising thing about the Accord is its refined continuously variable transmission (CVT). Mated to the 4-cylinder, this CVT feels much like a normal automatic, mimicking gear changes. Even a base Accord has good power for acceleration and passing, yet attains an impressive 36 mpg on the highway.

"ok so I am not a car person however I have always loved Honda. I traded my 2008 CRV for a 2013 Honda Accord EX-L with Navi I can't say enough about the comfort, reliability, the technology, safety, and at red lights I can't tell the car is running..... it's so quiet. My gas milage averages around 33.3 mpg..according to the car. So I do have a higher payment however the gas prices alone off sets that. I would recommend this care to everyone."
