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 could halve its US lineup without crimping its sales much [w/video]

Sat, 18 May 2013

Taking a detailed look at the Honda lineup in the US, it isn't hard to see the strength of some models and the weaknesses of others. A recent report on Autoline Daily points out that its five core models - the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey and Pilot - make up a full 93 percent of Honda's sales in the US. Through April, Honda has sold 419,798 vehicles, and 389,474 of them were from these core models; not to mention the fact that the Accord was the top-selling car in the US last month.
This means that Honda could technically cut six of its 11 models and only lose about 5,000 sales per month. Of course, this is just some data crunching and there is no reason to believe that Honda is planning to kill off any of its models in the near future. In fact, it seems to be committed to the Ridgeline, while Japanese-made models that may actually lose money for Honda still fill unique voids. Scroll down for the video report - fast-forward to the 1:43 mark for the Honda info.

As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?

Mon, Feb 9 2015

North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.

Honda helps Santa take his sled into the 21st century

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you had put nearly 75 billion miles on your only company car, it would most likely be pleading for retirement in every rickety way it knew how. That's Santa's situation, so St. Nick heads to his not-exactly-local-at-all Honda dealer for a new sled, and the company obliges with a red rider fit for the new millennium. But Honda doesn't try to shoehorn he of the white beard into an Civic on rails. Working from Crayon sketches of safe sleighs and wanting to insure a lengthy stint on Santa's "Nice" list, the Honda reps work up a bespoke offering from a block of clay, but still give it features like a rear-view camera and a cargo bay ejector platform fitted with a parachute. You can see their gift to Santa in the video above. And for some even more far out holiday offerings from Honda, check out their Honda Days videos featuring Skeletor singing a bro hymn to He-Man, G.I. Joe serenading Gem, and Gumby and Pokey singing whatever they can think of. News Source: Honda via YouTube Honda Videos
