Honda vs. Nissan: Which builds a better coupe?

Handling, 1st Place – 2008 Honda Accord Coupe

Mention the Honda Accord and you’ll probably start a conversation about reliability or maybe variations of the color white. That’ll change after the masses experience the 2008 Honda Accord Coupe. It looks big and heavy, yet the Accord is surprisingly agile, with controlled body roll, desirable weight transition in corners, and ample stability in high-speed sweepers aided by our EX-L V-6’s standard 18s. The coupe-specific suspension absorbs bumps well, but one tester found the trade-off to be a floaty highway ride, and all complained of brake fade after only moderate abuse. Steering offered a nice balance between light effort and responsiveness.
