Honda's 2013 Accord Praised by Motor Trend

The Accord takes on challengers as Motor Trend examines affordable and sporty sedans.

Ellisville, MO (I-Newswire) March 18, 2013 - Many drivers and critics have lauded the 2013 Accord as one of the best sedans on the road by many drivers and critics, and because of that, it gives the team at West County Honda great pride to announce that Motor Trend Magazine has only the best things to say about the Accord Sport.

With Honda's 2.4L Earth Dreams engine living under the hood, the Sport is capable of up to 189 hp and comes paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for maximum control and performance. Although there's quite a respectable powertrain for a mid-size sedan, Motor Trend has said that the vehicle feels as though it is a much smaller car.

Indeed, their experts noted that, once the driver puts the pedal to the floor, the Accord Sport takes just 7.6 seconds to go from 0 to 60. With paddle shifters included as standard to accompany the CVT, drivers can get a level of control that isn't found on many competing vehicles.

Once the performance of the Sport is set aside, there's still much for drivers to explore, as Honda provides one of the most inclusive lists of standard features available on base-level models, let alone the Sport.

This is all a part of their line-wide program to develop a new definition of “standard features,” with every 2013 Honda from the basic LX trims on up including a wide range of amenities as standard.

Each of the latest 2013 Honda vehicles come with Honda's revolutionary new i-MID infotainment system. The i-MID also includes a customizable touchscreen to meld the new technology together. Features such as Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming, SMS text messaging, a rearview camera, and more.
