Granted, the Accord sedan has always been a conservatively styled automobile aimed at people who do not want their car to call attention to them. The front of this car looks like a German appliance. The back end features a bastardized Taurus taillight assembly. The interior isn't a lot more aesthetic, but it is roomy, comfortable, quiet and delightfully laid out. Everything, from gauges to console storage compartment, is where you want it.
Visibility is first-rate, as are seat support and comfort.
The comfort of that airy interior derives in part, of course, from the ride afforded by the Accord's sophisticated new double-wishbone suspension. Because it is such a nifty piece of engineering, this undercarriage permits the Accord's nice ride to coexist with dynamite handling. This car is fun to push hard in a corner because of the premium its suspension places on flatness and composure. The pleasures of driving the Accord sedan go beyond its ride, handling and comfortable seats. The car also feels solid and well-made.
