Honda accord was first introduced in 1976. Now 32 years and 8 generations later the Honda accord has exploded in size, sales and comfort. The car that I am reviewing here is the 2008 3.5 litre V6 engine MT. Take Honda Accord for test-drive, and you’ll find it comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. What everyone will feel special about the Honda Accord is its completeness and it scores well in all of the categories that people expect from a family-oriented luxury sedan.

Honda Accord Interiors: Honda Accord’s interior layout is simple yet handsome giving a very classy look. Fit and finish is excellent. The centre console looks filled with buttons and it took me time to learn and get used to them.  The instrument panel in Honda Accord is attractive and the wooden panel adds to the class. There’s more space between the seats in the front, there’s more space and legroom in the rear with separate vents for the air-conditioner as well and has a good headspace. There’s also an armrest in Honda Accord that folds down for rear seat passengers, and behind this is a small portal where the dog’s head can peep through. The Premium stereo system is having 6 in-dash CD changer, 7 speakers with a sub woofers and effect is just amazing. Apart from all this what highlights the car is the leather upholstery, the dual zone climatic controls ,the  navigation system, the moon roof, auto on head lamps, leather wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats and satellite radio all makes this EX - L model ( top end sedan ) makes us feel pampered in luxury and class.The interior features of Honda Accord like Beige interior color, Leather interior, Power lumber support, Tilt & telescopic steering wheel, Luxury 4-spoke, leather steering wheel with aluminium color panel, Leather gear knob, Front center armrest with multifunctional console, Vanity mirror with illumination (driver & passenger), Map light with sunglass box, Lockable glove box with illumination, Outside temperature gauge, Digital clock, Seat back pocket (driver & passenger), Front and rear cup holders, Rear center armrest with trunk-through, Rear AC vent, Rear reading light, Rear foldable seat, Noise and vibration reduction carpet are smartly designed in the Honda Accord.

Honda Accord Exteriors:  The exterior of the Honda Accord looks beautiful with styling and I felt that it is finally matching that of Camry and some Lexus sedans. It’s clear cut lines and stylish look makes the car have formidable street presence. In one word the car looks - exciting! It is complemented by a forward thrusting nose, flared fenders, sleek headlamps, distinctive front grill, and stylish twin exhausts. The stylish alloy wheels enhance the visual appeal of the car and makes is very eye catchy. The exterior features like Alloy wheels, Front fog lights, Rear fog lights, Front sensor, Rear 4-corner sensor, Chrome door handles, Exhaust pipe finisher, Mud guard (front & rear), Glass antenna and Hood damper are good and adds beauty for Honda Accord.

Honda Accord Engine: The heart of the Honda Accord 3.5 is fitted with a 3.5-litre i-VTEC engine. The i-VTEC engine is considered to be one of the most powerful engines in the market today. It provides excellent performance and acceleration. The special feature I got to know about the Accord 3.5 engine is that it comes with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), which is an innovative technology that switches between six, four, and three cylinder combustion to provide flexibility to all cylinders for optimum performance and fuel efficiency. Not only all this, the Honda Accord comes with the New Active Control Engine Mounts (ACM) and Active Noise Control (ANC) systems have been paired to the VCM technology to provide a smoother and quieter ride quality.

Honda Accord Drive and Handling:  Being in the driver's seat you will never been so pleasurable. Honda Accord lets you select a precise, natural and comfortable driving position unique to your height and comfort level; it has an 8-way power seat adjustment with lumbar support along with a tilt and telescopic steering. The ACM (Active Control Engine Mount System) cancels out engine vibration, ensuring a smoother, more comfortable ride. You can enjoy a silent ride with the ANC (Active Noise Control) which nullifies unwanted noise coming from the car. The Honda Accord comes with the cruise control technology as well. It has buttons on the steering wheel of the Honda Accord V6 allows you to relax on long drives, and maintain speed without bothering with the accelerator,  So that you can keep your eyes on the road, rather than the speedometer. Apart from this the New Honda Accord comes with the intelligent electronically controlled 5-speed Paddle Shift takes driving comfort to a new level. This shift hold control system reduces unnecessary gear shift in cornering and supplies acceleration immediately after making a turn. All these added features make you feel like a King while driving the car.

Honda Accord Safety and security Features:  The new Honda Accord comes with some of the best car safety features that include front active head rests, 3-point rear center seat belt, security car alarm system, immobilizer, and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution. Other than these the new Accord is packed with some highly advanced safety features like a Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with intelligent six airbags and G-FORCE Control Technology (G-CON). Vehicle Stability Assist automatically brakes individual wheels in case of any kind of discrepancy in steering conditions or during wheel slippage and the G-CON helps reduce the impact in an event of a collision.

The main drawback is that it does not have a diesel variant. When you buy an Honda Accord V6, you’re getting a compliant ride, a well-equipped interior, a car with all the mod cons, plenty of restrained style and Honda’s trademark reliability. All in all an excellent car worth your hard earned money.
