The Sport sedan squeezes a little more power out of the same engine: 189 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque. Although a 6-speed manual transmission is offered for the first time with this engine, most Accords will have the gearless CVT. Honda also offers Accord Hybrid for those who are interested in gas mileage.
Behind the Wheel
This model witnessed some improvements over its predecessors, the ride now is actually smoother and quieter. The brakes remain average though.
Internal Features
