Accords, like Civics, are mainstays in the Honda family. One step up in size, price, power and class from the smaller Civic, the Accord has just a little more appeal than its smaller counterpart. However, both ride on similar engineering platforms that regard a 200,000-mile life as ordinary.

The automotive world seems to agree with the Accord's pedigree. Awards from last year include Car and Driver's "10 Best Cars," Consumer Digest Magazine's "Best Buy-Family Car," Edmunds.com's "Family Sedan Comparison Test Winner" and AAA's "Best Vehicle in Class."

Available Models
The 2005 Accord lineup includes coupes and sedans in DX, LX and EX trims, as well as the new Hybrid sedan (DX, LX and Hybrid covered separately).

Interior Features
There are three sets of feature packages with the EX trim alone. Base EX models have cruise control, air conditioning, an interior air filter, power mirrors and door locks, remote keyless entry, illuminated visor mirrors, manual driver-seat height adjustment, rear-seat trunk pass, an AM/FM radio with in-dash 6-disc CD changer and steering-wheel radio controls.

EX-L models add the decadent feel of leather to the proceedings. Also included are dual-zone automatic climate controls, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, an 8-way power driver seat, satellite radio and an outside-temperature indicator.

With a V6 engine, Honda throws in more comfort equipment as well.

Exterior Features
Alloy wheels are standard on all EX models. So too is a power sunroof.

Honda offers a special performance package with V6 coupes this year. Consisting of a rear deck or wing spoiler, front, rear and side underbody spoilers, special emblems, chrome exhaust finish and more, it is designed to get you noticed on the road.

Performance

It is able to produce 160 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 161 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic are the two transmission types available with this powertrain.

Standard with V6 models is a 3.0-liter V6 engine that delivers 240 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 212 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. It can be teamed to either 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.

Safety and Security
