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 Urban SUV Concept leaks out ahead of Detroit debut

Sun, 13 Jan 2013

Next up on the 2013 Detroit Auto Show embargo-break-a-palooza: the Honda Urban SUV Concept. Thanks to Indian Autos Blog, we now have the first press shots of the small crossover concept - a vehicle that will someday make it to production, riding on the Honda Fit platform.
It may have some big features - namely, the large headlamps, big wheels, and bold body lines - but the Urban SUV Concept will compete with smaller vehicles like the Nissan Juke or Fiat 500L. Indian Autos Blog reports that both 1.6- an 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines are being speculated for use in the production model, as well as a diesel powerplant for foreign markets.
That's all we know for now, but stay tuned to see the full smattering of official images and details as part of this week's Detroit coverage.

Honda takes us through 50 years of automobiles in 60 seconds

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

Honda's wonderfully simple, fun ads are not in short supply right now. We showed you Hands, the followup to 2003's The Cog, last week. If you haven't had a chance to look at those two great videos, we strongly encourage you to head over that way and give them a watch.
The latest minute-long commercial is a bit more dear, though. And while it may be in Japanese, it's still a cool look back at Honda and its car-building history.
This is also a great video if you're a fan of odd, vintage Japanese vehicles. Honda's T360 and a few old Civics are featured heavily, although we can't help but notice that a few very big names are missing. Where's the NSX or the S2000? How about the original Insight, a car so revolutionary it still has a cult following today? Honda has made some great cars, we just wish it'd show off more of them. Check out the video below.

Toyota, Honda, Nissan and more collaborating to increase fuel efficiency

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Suzuki and Daihatsu have announced an alliance that will see a push to improve fuel economy from both gas-powered and diesel-powered engines by as much as 30 percent before the end of the decade.
The newly assembled Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines put the roughly $20-million project together, with the Japanese government committing to half the cost while the eight manufacturers will chip in the rest.
According to Automotive News, the automakers will team up and share basic research on internal-combustion engines in a bid to cut costs. Eventually, the results of the research will find its way into a production vehicle, although it's unclear just when we'll see the fruits of this partnership on the road.
