Through eight generations, the Honda Accord has routinely provided a good mix of value, fuel economy and good driving dynamics. Buyers have made the Accord a perennial top seller and the quality of the car is reflected in its high residual and resale value. The latest Accord sedan is the largest model to ever wear the name in the United States. By EPA interior volume standards, the Accord is in the full size category, and larger in most dimensions than its traditional competitors in the midsize segment. The Accord is offered in several trim levels with either a fuel-efficient four-cylinder or V6 engine. Although the Accord is somewhat limited by a five-speed transmission in segment where six speed units are typical, the Accord posts an impressive EPA rating of 23/34. The Accord is offered in several trim levels, but all include common power equipment. A special edition model offered in 2012 includes heated leather seats and alloy wheels for around $24,000.
