2006 Honda Accord Hybrid Road Test
The Accord, Hondas elemental sedan, has for many years been listed as a best buy in its class. It consistently scores top marks and sets the bar for other machines to match, though at first glance it might be difficult to understand why. There are quicker and flashier cars in the same arena. A Nissan Altima is sportier, while a Hyundai Sonata is less expensive. Mazda's 6 is better looking, and the Ford Fusion is more fun to drive. But machines are few and far between that can better the Accords build quality and the peace of mind its customers love.
