The Good

The 2010 Honda Accord offers plenty of passenger space, seating up to five people. In keeping with Honda’s tradition of superior engineering, the Accord has a quality finish and a luxurious feel. Drivers will also appreciate the superb visibility the car offers. As always, the 2010 Accord is an excellent investment, as it has one of the highest resale values on the market. Last but not least, the 2010 Accord continues Honda’s tradition of safe, reliable, and well-built vehicles.

The Bad

The new Accord has considerable road noise, which is uncharacteristic of the Accord’s normally quiet and comfortable ride. The brakes are also underwhelming, with a 60-0 mph stopping distance of 133-137 feet depending on the type of engine. The Accord also tends to transfer a large amount of vibration to the driver’s foot while braking. Aesthetically, the cockpit of the 2010 Accord has a center stack that is a bit cluttered with buttons. Some drivers may also find the seats a bit uncomfortable.

The Bottom Line

The 2010 Accord boasts a number of impressive new features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, rear-seat ventilation ducts, and a trunk lid liner. Although the new Accord honors Honda’s reputation for building safe and dependable vehicles, the quality of the ride and its performance are only mediocre for its market segment. The 2010 Honda Accord is a spacious and smart option for those looking for practical day-to-day transportation, but drivers shouldn’t expect too much beyond that.

Gas Mileage

Interior

The controls to the stereo and climate system are easy to use on models that don’t contain the navigation system.
