The 2013 Honda Accord Sport Receives Praise from Motor Trend

Motor Trend declares the Accord Sport to be leagues ahead of competition like the 2013 Toyota Camry.

Ferndale, MI (I-Newswire) March 15, 2013 - While there is no shortage of praise going around for the current line of Honda vehicles, it still gives Ferndale Honda pride to announce that Motor Trend Magazine has great things to say about the 2013 Honda Accord Sport, especially in comparison to competing vehicles.

Carrying Honda's 2.4L Earth Dreams engine, the Accord Sport offers up 189 hp and is paired with a continuously variable transmission for improved performance. Despite what's rumbling under the hood, Honda still presents a decent-sized mid-range sedan that Motor Trend says feels a bit bigger than the other models profiled.

That is, it feels larger until the pedal hits the floor and the Accord goes from 0 to 60 in just 7.6 seconds, remarking that the Honda “shrinks when the rolling gets brisk,” making it feel like a much smaller vehicle. With paddle shifters as standard, drivers have a sense of control on the Accord Sport that isn't found on many competing vehicles.

Of course, after performance is set aside, Honda has one of the most impressive selections of standard features on the market today – and that's not an accident. As part of their line-wide initiative to create a new definition of “standard features” in the minds of drivers and other automakers, they have included many amenities as standard across their vehicle lineup, from the LX trims on up to the top.

Each 2013 Honda comes equipped with Honda's innovative new i-MID infotainment system with customizable touchscreen that links all of the new tech features together. Technology such as Bluetooth phone and audio, a rearview camera, SMS text messaging, and more. To keep drivers' eyes on the road, these systems can all be navigated from the steering wheel-mounted controls.

Their showroom is located at 21350 Woodward Avenue in Ferndale Michigan, and in addition to new Honda models, their inventory includes a diverse selection of used vehicles.
