Pros: Impressive ride and handling balance; spacious back seat; all-around visibility is among best in class; availability of sporty coupe models
Cons: Attaining some desirable features means stepping up to high-end trim levels; trunk space and accessibility
CG Says: Honda Accord gets revised styling and suspension tweaks for 2016. The Honda Sensing safety package, that includes collision mitigation barking, lane-departure warning and mitigation, and forward collision warning, is now available on all models. Accord Hybrid is skipping the 2016 model year while Honda moves production from Ohio to Japan. Accord’s traditional strengths include a fine ride/handling balance, a spacious back seat, and a solid, cohesive overall feel. Worthwhile technology features, competitive fuel economy numbers, and high-quality cabin materials are other high points. The rare-for-the-class 2-door coupe versions offer a bit more sporty style. Now more than ever, the hyper-competitive midsize-car segment is filled with excellent vehicles, but in all its forms, Accord remains among the best in the class.
