Honda Accord
The Honda Accord combines classy looks with a superbly built, upmarket interior, and at launch in 2008 it challenged premium compact executive models like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. But it’s fallen behind these class leaders in terms of running costs and driver appeal, and is now best viewed as a posh alternative to mainstream large family cars like the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and Skoda Superb – with a price to match. Still, the exterior design is subtle, and on the road the Accord is refined and comfortable – it’s an excellent motorway cruiser. Honda sells the Accord as a saloon and Tourer estate, but neither is particularly practical considering the large dimensions, and both versions trail the best cars in this market in terms of boot size and rear legroom. The Accord will also cost more to run than its major rivals: even the diesels suffer from high fuel consumption, and high emissions across the range mean your annual road tax bill will be expensive.
