The Honda Accord used to be king of its hill, but it now faces enormous pressure from the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Mazda6, and Toyota Camry. Yet, its fuel-efficient 177, 190, and 271 horsepower engines work quite well, and its five-speed automatic transmission (in some cases it is manual) does an excellent job. The Accord is available as a sedan or coupe, and, in each case, offers solid road handling. It's styling, while very contemporary, is still a puzzle to many.
