Honda Accord
Honda Accord EX-L 2014, like new, selling due to company providing a car. Car looks new, champagne red, palomino colored leather, non-navigation model, no dents, dings, scratches, always driven with exceeding care, mileage represents about 5000 highway miles per month. Purchased first day of March. All accessories shown on invoice sheet. All oil changes performed as scheduled with Mobil One synthetic oil. 24700 miles

Car is in pristine condition and very well taken care of.

Fuel Economy

This car achieves respectable gas mileage for a midsize sedan, at an overall 31 MPG (55% weight given to city MPG of 27, and 45% weight given to highway MPG of 36). This means it is 6.9% more fuel efficient than its similarly-sized peers. Assuming 15,000 miles driven annually (55% city driving and 45% highway driving), and an average gas price of $3.70 per gallon, fuel costs will add up to $1,790.32 per year.

Range

During city driving, Accord owners can expect to cover about 464 miles on the 17.2 gallon tank, 38 miles more than the class average. On the highway, a maximum range of 619 miles is right on par with rival sedans.

Drivetrain

This model is equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.4L Inline-4 engine, sending power to the front wheels through an automatic transmission. Its 185 horsepower is adequate, but nothing to boast about (the average 2014 midsize sedan has 182 HP). As for low-end grunt: in a class where 184 ft-lbs is the norm, torque meets expectations, at 181 ft-lbs.

Real-World Acceleration Absolute horsepower numbers only paint part of the picture when it comes to how quickly a vehicle can accelerate. Extra weight hinders straight-line performance, which is why auto experts often refer to the power-to-weight ratio for true apples-to-apples comparisons. This model's ratio of 18.2 lbs/HP is an ordinary number (the segment average is 18.5), making it roughly as quick as the average sedan in its class. Driving Dynamics Independent of power, curb weight (weight of the ready-to-run car with a full tank of gas) offers hints at vehicle performance. Lower weight generally translates to shorter stopping distances, better handling, and higher cornering limits. Knowing this, keep in mind that this car is similarly heavy to other midsize sedans in the 2014 model year. Please ask any and all questions before buying!

Honda installs 3-minute, fast-fuelling hydrogen fuel station in California

Fri, Mar 7 2014

OK, but let's see how well Honda can control hydrogen refueling temperature in Houston or Buffalo. That's what some pessimists may be saying now that the Japanese automaker has installed a fast-fueling hydrogen station in the oh-so-temperate environs of Torrance, CA. That city is about 20 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles and a sliver of it actually touches the Pacific Ocean, so we're not talking about wild swings in air temperature here. Honda is calling its fast-refueling platform the MC Fill (we'd expect a lawsuit if it was McFill, even though that'd be clever) and says that filling up takes about 45 percent less time than the typical hydrogen-refueling station. That's because the system monitors the ambient temperature in order to speed up the process. There's more scientific stuff in there - for example, the fact that the MC name comes from the "two key values in a heat transfer equation- 'M' for mass and 'C' for specific heat" - but the long and the short of it is that a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle can fill up in less than three minutes. That's pretty impressive, despite the distinct lack of vehicles needing to charge that fast today. Honda unveiled its FCEV Concept vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show last November. The five-seat vehicle has a range of more than 300 miles, while its fuel-stack power density is about 60 percent higher than its previous version. The production version is due to arrive in the US in 2015. Check out Honda's press release below. Honda R&D Installs Advanced Fast-Fill Hydrogen Refueling Station -- New station on Honda R&D Americas' Torrance, California campus built in anticipation of Honda's next-generation fuel cell electric vehicle, due in 2015 -- Honda-developed hydrogen refueling protocol significantly reduces fill time TORRANCE, Calif., March 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Preparing for the 2015 introduction of the next Honda fuel cell-electric vehicle (FCEV), Honda R&D Americas has installed a state-of-the-art hydrogen refueling station on its Torrance, California campus. This advanced station will serve as a platform for demonstrating and validating the enhanced hydrogen fueling protocol developed by Honda, named the MC Fill. With the aim of standardizing this new protocol, Honda will make the new research station available to other automakers to further validate the MC Fill protocol's performance and functionality.

British Honda CR-V looks tough, gets diesel and 9-speed auto

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Honda just took the wraps off of its thoroughly updated 2015 CR-V for the US, with a touch more style and improved powertrain to provide more torque and better fuel economy. In our First Drive, we found that all of the changes really focused the CUV even more towards the desires of its audience of mostly families. European crossover shoppers don't have to wait too long to see these tweaks for themselves and get a few exclusive upgrades of their own.
While US models get a torquier gasoline engine, Europe loves its diesels. Therefore, the CR-V over there benefits from a more powerful 1.6-liter i-DTEC oil-burner that produces 158 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This new addition is only available on the four-wheel drive version, and it replaces the previous 2.2-liter diesel in the lineup. Also as opposed to the CVT here, there's now an optional nine-speed automatic gearbox across the pond.
According to Honda, the new diesel with a six-speed manual drops emissions by 11 percent compared to its predecessor. Opting for the nine-speed auto makes things 20 percent cleaner in contrast to the previous 2.2-liter CR-V with an auto.

Honda CR-V spot delights with 'impossible' illusions

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Mind-blowing car commercials that employ optical illusions and jaw-clenching stunts instead of computer animation are becoming the norm these days, and everybody from Volvo Trucks to Forza Motorsport 5/McLaren are regular contributors to the growing trend. Honda joins the crowd in its latest European commercial for the CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC Diesel, and uses well-placed props and well-drawn imagery to trick viewers into seeing the "impossible."
The old-fashioned optical illusion is alive and well in Honda's "An Impossible, Made Possible" spot, so go ahead and watch it and the making-of video below.
