Honda Accord New


The new Honda Accord coming in a wide selection of body styles and trim packages, consumers will have a lot of choices to make when choosing which one of these cars is best. A great selection of engines doesn't hurt the Accord either.

Engines available for '10 models include a 2.4 liter four cylinder that puts out a nice 177 horsepower. A standard 5 speed manual transmission comes on the 2.4 liter engine, with a five speed automatic offered as optional. The 3.5 liter V-6 offers a little more power with 271 horsepower and a standard 5 speed automatic transmission. V-6 coupe models are offered with a 6 speed manual transmission. Consumers will do well with either of these engines, but for a sportier feel with more performance, consumers who don't mind paying the extra money will really engine the V-6 equipped models.

Trim packages range from the basic LX, to EX-L. Basic models will come with a few amenities including a AM/FM stereo and optional power windows. For the price, LX models are great mid-size sedans that offer the reliability consumers need, without spending a load of money on extra options. Most LX models are equipped with the smaller 2.4 liter engines and a manual transmission. Mid-level packages come with power windows and locks, cruise control, more available upholstery fabrics, 16 inch wheels, and other additional options. Most mid level cars come with either a manual or automatic transmission for a an extra cost. EX models are the luxury versions of the 2010 Honda Accord sedans. They come with available leather seating, full power accessories, cruise control, either coupe or sedan body styles, sunroof, mp3/CD players and changers, and much more. Consumers who really want to enjoy their driving time will need to upgrade to this version.

Fuel economy is an area that the Accord doesn't do too bad either. Overall fuel consumption ranges from 22 to 31 mpg. For mid-size sedans those are respectable numbers. The smaller 4 cylinder equipped models get the best mileage, ranging from 25 mpg city to 31 highway. Larger models with the V-6 get from 22 mpg city to around 26 highway. Compared with vehicles like the Chevy Malibu Sonata the Accord is either as good, if not slightly better.
