Honda Accord
The Honda Accord is staying the course without any major changes for 2012. Offering a classic size and style, the sedan version looks like an American car while the coupe delivers sportier handling. Its 4-cylinder engine is not just fuel efficient, it’s reliable too. But the 3.5L V6 is more powerful. New this year is the HFP (Honda Factory Performance) version featuring a dropped suspension and special wheels.
