“A remarkable automobile from a remarkable automobile . . . company.”
That summary is from our January 1983 issue, when the Accord won a spot on our first 10Best Cars list. And it’s clear, 27 years later, that the praise still applies.
It’s equally clear that the Accord has evolved steadily to maintain its position as a mainstream pacesetter. From the compact sedan that won inaugural 10Best honors, the Accord has gone through seven generations en route to today’s coupe and sedan lineup, cars that are much bigger, much more refined, and much more powerful than their honorable ancestor. Indeed, in its makeover for the 2008 model year, the Accord sedan expanded to large-car status according to the EPA definition, which is based on a car’s interior volume.
