Initial Quality has to be a deciding factor in modern day car shopping. What about cost of ownership? Is that important anymore? Oh, I know … Safety! Safety has to be a main buyer motivation. So, that being said the 2011 Honda Accord received JD Power’s Initial Quality Survey, Edmunds.com’s “Lowest Annual True Cost of Ownership for Sedan 20-30″ and finally, the NHTSA’s 5 star safety rating in 2 combined  NCAP categories.

Go with Classic Styling that will never grow old. Often you hear I love that color or that look. Time passes, and the appeal has greatly reduced, but your car payment stayed the same.  Honda has years and numerous accolades for a proven vehicle. Not to mention, the 2012 Honda Accord is the largest in the class, almost a cubic yard of more space than the 2012 Toyota Camry and the 2012 Hyundai Sonata.  One example of Honda’s commitment to quality can be found within the throttle system.  The base Accord has a “Drive By Wire” throttle system. This drive by wire throttle system uses electronic throttle position that utilizes electronics to  provide a more precise and clean response. This system does not use traditional throttle cables and pulleys… thus driver input and throttle response is much more crisp. The drive by wire system also plays a huge roll in Honda’s Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). VSA integrates the Throttle, Braking, and Traction systems to insure that driver input and the intended course are closely communicated and delivered.

Honda Carland had just recently completed sales training on the 2010 Honda Accord. The summer months are interesting, due to the fact the new model release for the Toyota Camry. People always ask…”Why Honda” or “Why Toyota”. This is why I prefer the 2010 Honda Accord over the 2011 Toyota Camry.The 2010 Honda Accord  is bigger, suspension is more sport-tuned, drive by wire with throttle control, and resale values according to the experts.

The 2010 Honda Accord passenger volume is 106 cubic feet, almost 5 cubic feet more than the Camry. Not to mention, the 2010 Honda Accord almost categorically is larger in every standardized measurement. Front driver headroom, passenger headroom, rear headroom, legroom, and shoulder room. When you sit in a 2010 Honda Accord, it just feels like more substance and space!

Size is not the only thing that matters… taking a deeper look at the throttle system. The 2010 Honda Accord uses a “Drive by Wire” Throttle system. Which by Honda’s definition means “ The Drive-by-Wire™ throttle system helps enhance the driving character of the Accord Sedan. With smart electronics connecting the throttle pedal to the throttle butterfly valve in the intake manifold, the engine response can be optimized to suit the driving conditions and to better match the driver’s expectations.” , which is great! Digging a bit deeper, Vehicle Stability Assist which is on all Honda Accords seems to be a major difference maker for me. Vehicle Stabilty Assist will by Honda’s definition ”

Now, if there is a minor or major frontal collision. All Honda Accords have “ACE- Advanced Compatibility Engineering- which again by Honda’s definition means- “The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment and can help to more evenly disperse the forces transferred to other vehicles in a crash.” Honda did the research to help absorb crash enegergy from a frontal collision by various sizes of vehicles. This Honda Signature Technology will keep the crash energy out of the passenger compartment!  

Suspension, what does it matter? Suspension is basically the handling characteristics of a vehicle. The 2010 Honda Accord suspension is the Independent wishbone suspension. This suspension will force the tire tread to remain perpendicular to the road, allowing a more confident handling. Honda describes the advanced double wishbone front suspension as : “  The advanced double wishbone front suspension uses both lower and upper control links. This allows Honda engineers the flexibility to tune the suspension for predictable cornering feel and emergency maneuvering, to ensure a smooth and stable ride.” The suspension innovations of racing has trickled down to the Accord, and the drive of an Accord is very confident on the road!
