Consumer Guide® Road-Test Evaluation
Value for the Money
Accords successfully straddle the Passat and Camry, offering some of the pricier VW's confident road manners matched with the more conservative Toyota's isolation. Augmented by precision engineering, enviable refinement, and Honda's own envious record of reliability, that hit-making blend helps make the Accord a Best Buy. Accord popularity keeps resale values high, so used-car prices tend to be somewhat hefty.
