2012 honda accord review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The benchmark for midsize sedans. introductionthe honda accord is difficult to beat in terms of overall performance, efficiency and refinement. Honda accord and toyota camry have long been the benchmarks for midsize sedans because both do everything well. It comes with a sporty suspension package and low-profile tires on 18-inch wheels, and goes head to head with the nissan altima coupe. with effectively five trim levels, the accord can fit a wide range of budgets. There's a no-frills sedan with plastic wheel covers, essential features and a solid stereo; and high-trim models with sumptuous leather, mega-watt sound systems, active noise cancellation and navigation. All variants deliver high engineering standards, excellent finish, good build quality and all the important safety equipment. the 2012 accord carries over largely unchanged; a usb port comes standard on all 2012 accord models. The accord benefitted from a facelift for 2011, and some new features and efficiencies brought improved fuel mileage ratings. The accord sedan and coupe were last redesigned for 2008, when they grew in exterior dimensions and offered improved occupant safety. some of the accord's competitors have been redesigned more recently. Others can be more fun to drive. Yet there may be none that match accord's overall combination of polish, refinement, efficiency and choice. For that reason, the honda accord remains a benchmark among mainstream, midsize automobiles. lineupthe 2012 honda accord line-up includes sedans and coupes, with three engine choices, 5- and 6-speed manual transmissions, and a 5-speed automatic. Rather than offering traditional options or option packages, honda tends to mark upgrades in equipment with a different model designation. It comes with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; power mirrors, windows and door locks; a tilt-telescoping steering column; folding rear seats; and a 160-watt sound system with single cd, an auxiliary jack and, new for 2012, a usb port. The standard wheels are 16-inch steel with plastic covers, but the tailpipe sports a chrome finisher. The 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and the 5-speed automatic 800) is available. It also adds a 6cd changer, 17-inch alloy wheels, power moonroof, heated mirrors and premium interior accents. The automatic is available. accord ex v6 sedan 27,280) features a 271-hp, 3. 5-liter v6 with 5-speed automatic; fog lights come standard. accord ex-l 27,555) and accord ex-l v6 sedan 29,630) add leather on the seats and steering wheel, while the ex-l v6 also has two-position memory for the driver's seat. The ex-l models also come with 270-watt audio, xm satellite radio, bluetooth connectivity, heated front seats, compass and exterior temperature indicator, automatic on/off headlights and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Accord coupe ex-l v6 with navi 31,930) adds navigation and rearview camera. safety features on all accords include six airbags, with two-stage front airbags, front passenger side-impact airbags and head-protection curtains for all outboard seats. Other standard safety features include active front head restraints, electronic stability control, antilock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, and a tire pressure monitor. The optional navigation system includes a rearview camera, which can help the driver spot children and other hazards behind the car when backing up. walkaroundall honda accord models got a mild styling makeover for 2011, and there are no significant changes for 2012. Known in the car business as a mid-cycle facelift, the 2011 changes are about as extensive as any car gets between complete redesigns. They re-emphasize the accord's conservative, upscale appearance. the current-generation accord sedan was introduced as a 2008 model, and it's larger than any before it. Although it competes in the mid-size market segment, the sedan is classified a large car by the federal government, based on interior volume. The coupe looks lighter, more lithe. the 2011 styling updates for the sedan and coupe won't be obvious from across a parking lot, but they're noticeable in details at closer range. The sedan's front bumper and grille, wedged between angular, jewel-like light clusters were re-shaped. The effect is a slightly more pronounced snout than before. In back, the lip of the trunk lid and the taillights have been tweaked for a crisper, even more substantial look. in general, the accords maintain their contemporary yet notably conservative design, highlighted by a strong character line that slopes down and forward like that of the acura tl, though the hondas are much less angular than the acuras. All accord variants maintain the honda hallmarks of narrow windshield pillars and a low cowl that promote good forward visibility. The swept-back headlight housings minimize protruding corners and ease maneuverability, though it takes some familiarity before the driver is certain exactly where the corners of the car are. Many of the accord's design elements are a product of auto/pedestrian collision standards. Stepping up to the accord se model adds leather upholstery and heated seats, but the basics like seat design and driver ergonomics are shared by all models. the leather is high quality and perfectly tailored, and the driver's seat in most models has multiple power adjustments. There's good support for the long haul, but the seats are easy to slide in and out of during around-town errands. Ex-l v6 models add a two-position memory for the driver's seat. The shifter is right at hand, and the proper handbrake has short travel. The sunroof button, reading lights and a drop-down glasses holder are located in a mini-console above the rearview mirror. there's a clear view of what's all around outside the accord, and of the proven, extra-crisp dial-and-needle gauges inside. Accords equipped with the navigation system now come with a back-up camera, and it's valuable.
