2010 Overview

The Honda Accord sedan has been a best selling vehicle and continues this tradition for 2010. The Accord offers the largest interior available given the exterior space it takes up and provides a smooth and quiet ride while maintaining its lightweight exterior. Whether moving four people comfortably or enjoying the long way home, the Accord is up to the task. The Accord is available with a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines, manual or automatic transmission, and essentially four trim levels.

2010 Trims and Styling Accord Sedan

The 2010 Honda Accord is offered with three engine choices in three trims, incuding the LX, the EX, and the EX-L. The base LX sedans come with a 177-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The Accord EX Sedans get a higher-revving, 190-horsepower version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. They also come with five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The EX Sedan is also available with a 271 horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and five-speed automatic. The EX-L is also available as a V-4 and a V-6.

There are many standard safety features included on the Accord, including six airbags, active front head restraints, electronic stability control, antilock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, and tire pressure monitors.

Last redesigned for 2008, the current Accord features narrow windshield pillars and a low cowl for good forward visibility, Honda hallmarks. The Coupe is sleeker yet still fits the Accord mold. All Coupes use projector headlights, body-color rocker panels and add a passenger side easy-entry feature for rear seat access.

2010 Accord Interior Features

Inside, the Accord provides a pleasing design, with nice materials and a variety of storage areas for modern conveniences and old-fashioned vices. The Accord EX-L with leather adds features, but the basics like seat design and driver ergonomics are shared by all models. The driver's seat has multiple power adjustments and good support for the long haul or around-town errands.

The inside of the Accord is extremely roomy, even in the rear seating area. Three interior colors are offered on the sedans, black, gray, and ivory, while the coupe goes black or ivory only. Accord Coupe models make use of the larger door panels by adding a return sweep and pull handle to the armrest trim.

Controls for lights and wipers are on stalks. Controls for sound, climate, and navigation are central below the navigation screen and vents. Bottom line: The Accord is smooth and quiet with or without noise cancellation technology.

First Drive 2010 Accord Sedan

The Honda Accord is one vehicle that is known for being easy drive. Accord EX models get the same basic 2.4-liter engine with some minor changes and a higher rev limit to bring 190 horsepower. That lets a 177-horsepower 2.4 manual keep up with a 190-horsepower 2.4 automatic. In terms of fuel economy, all Accords with four-cylinder engines are EPA-rated 22/31 mpg City/Highway with the manual, 21/31 mpg with the automatic. V6 sedans are rated 19/29 mpg. [1]

The 3.5-liter V6 is rated 271 horsepower and 254 pounds-feet of torque. Coupes with the 190-horsepower four-cylinder manual or automatic or the VCM V6 automatic use the same powertrain setups as the sedans. The softest-riding model is the Accord LX by virtue of 16-inch tires with a larger sidewall, and the mildest suspension calibration.

2010 Conclusions

The Honda Accord is easy to operate, well-engineered and well-mannered. " The last time the Accord wasn't on [Car and Driver's 10 Best] list was 1997, and the car has appeared a whopping 22 times. The reason? Simple: The Accord has everything you want in a sensible car, reliability, a comfortable and friendly interior, and good fuel economy, plus good engines and lively handling to keep pulse rates raised." says  Car and Driver. It's a great midsize sedan and it's also available as a stylish, trouble-free coupe.
