My wife and several friends have driven Honda Accords for years, and like most Accord owners, they extol its virtues. Accords are the quintessential transportation vehicle. The 2011 Honda Accord is the eighth generation of the vehicle and is now selling in dealerships. Read on for a preliminary car review of the 2011 Honda Accord.

With the 2011 Accord, Honda is upping the ante yet again. With two different 4-cylinder engines available, and one supped-up V6, the 2011 Honda Accord should please those with a need for speed. Five-speed automatic and manual transmissions are available, and all Accords feature front wheel drive. With enhanced fuel economy, it's safe to say that the 2011 Accord is a definite winner. Here are several of the specs on the 2011 Accord:

Pricing: prices of the new Accord range from $21,180 to $31,730 MSRP; no invoice data available
Fuel economy: 23 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, 27 mpg combined
Engine: two four-cylinder engine options, one offering 180 horsepower, the other 195 horsepower. Drive train: four-cylinder engines can be paired with a five-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission; V6 Accord coupes are available with a six-speed manual Acceleration: V6 2011 Accord completes 0-60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. Model lineup: no changes are expected to the current lineup of Accords despite rumors of a resurrected gas-electric hybrid Accord.

The brakes in the 2010 Honda Accord were sub-par, so Honda may tweak them for the new model year.
Handling is quite good, especially in coupe models. Although it performs admirably on the freeway, the 2011 Honda Accord does suffer from slightly elevated road noise that may bother some drivers.

The light, assured handling of the Honda Accord, combined with its fuel efficiency and punchy horsepower, makes it a true pleasure to drive. The 3.5-liter V6 engine produces a whopping 271 horsepower. Almost every auto review of the 2010 Honda Accord agreed that the car was in desperate need of a styling refresh, and Honda is expected to deliver on that in 2011. In initial photos of the 2011 Honda Accord, you’ll see an extremely futuristic-looking car with high body lines and pulled-back headlights. The new Accord has very short overhangs and pronounced wheel arches.

When combined with climate control, riding inside of a Honda Accord is an immersive, pleasurable experience. Drivers have come to expect quality from Honda vehicles; the 2011 Accord does not disappoint. The enhanced navigation screen and new backup camera all round out the high quality of the interior of the Honda Accord to a considerable degree.

The Accord doesn’t need to improve fuel economy or add horsepower in order to remain competitive in the midsize sedan class, so changes are improbable. There are plenty of perks involved with the 2011 Honda Accord. Honda has comprehensive warranty policies that give drivers significant peace of mind.

For those individuals with families, the Honda Accord is the best choice in terms of maximizing comfort for multiple passengers.

Car. This SE model, for one thing. It’s the fifth and middle trim level for the Accord sedan, essentially an LX-P that adds heated leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power lumbar on the driver’s seat, and SE (Special Edition) budging. The auto-equipped four-cylinder sedans are the coffee achievers here, jumping 2 mpg in the city (to 23), 3 mpg on the highway (34), and 2 mpg combined, for a best-in-class blended rating of 27 mpg. In pursuit of these increments, Honda tweaked the front grille and bumper for better aero, lowered oil-ring tension, refined spark timing, and even dumped in lower-viscosity engine oil. Careful observers and slush box defenders will note that auto-trans Accords get better fuel economy than manual-equipped ones. That’s because Honda rightly amps up the gearing on its manual models for performance.
