2010 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L

2010 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L
2010 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L - Honda Midsize Coupe Review - Automobile Magazine
The Accord coupe is one of those cars that we take for granted.

I suspect this is a rare bird because only a few outliers would knowingly select two doors and six gears in a Honda costing well over $20,000. Nonetheless, it's good to see this brand tip its hat in the enthusiast's direction. Overall, I'd give the Accord coupe an A-minus for execution and a B for value. High points are the stylish envelope, beautifully finished interior, and reasonably roomy rear seat. Practically every control function feels liberally lubricated and friction-free. The most noticeable exception was a slightly heavy shift effort moving across the H-pattern. Hints of gear whine while cruising and notable impact harshness on frozen roads also took the edge off the Accord's perfect score.inline_mediumwraptextright32093004/reviews/editors_notebook/1001_2010_honda_accord_coupe_exl1001_05_z+2010_honda_accord_coupe_eX-L+side_view.jpgTrue
