Honda Accord Saloon Review
Quality and sporting performance were guiding principles in the development of the new Accord and the result is a car that's more refined than its fairly anonymous predecessor and which succeeds in moving closer to the standards set by the prestige European marques. Engineering is Honda's key strength and this shows in the Accord's good handling qualities and its excellent engines. A new diesel due in 2004 promises much.

Honda Accord Saloon Equipment
The entry-level 2.0 SE model has a strong specification, including dual zone climate control, full complement of front, side and head airabgs, electric windows and heated door mirrors, sunroof, keyless entry system and 15-inch alloy wheels. Uniquely in the range it uses an electric power steering system, which is more fuel efficient than the usually hydraulic version. The 2.0 Sport version adds cruise control, larger alloys and go lamps, while the Executive provides sunroof, xenon headlamps, sunroof, six-disc CD players, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery and electrically-adjustable front seats. The 2.4 Executive is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox, drive-by-wire throttle control, 16-inch alloys, DVD-based satellite navigation and Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist system. The 2.4 Type-S has an aero bodykit, but dispenses with the satellite navigation and rain sensors.
