Honda Accord 
Sold only as a sedan since its last makeover, the Honda Accord still looms large in the midsize segment. It boasts innate reliability and fun. There are three available gearboxes, including a six-speed manual, a ten-speed automatic paired with the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo and, finally, a continuously variable automatic mated with the turbocharged, 1.5-litre four cylinder.
