It's like the British Open for family cars, but can the old champ pull off a comeback?
More on the Accord
The downsides to the Accord are few. Its automatic transmission lacks the extra gear found on the Taurus, and fuel efficiency tops the other cars here--but it didn't improve in this new generation. The styling can be seen as quirky, but its bigger fault is how it reduces rear headroom, just like the shape cuts into the Taurus' headroom. Overall, the Accord scores a 9.0 out of 10 from TheCarConnection.com's editors, thanks mostly to its sweet mechanical feel, its durability, and its plethora of high-tech options. Bottom Line? Whether you're looking for a comfy commuter in the $20,000 range or a luxurious, powerful $30,000 family sedan, the Honda Accord should be on your shortlist.
