2006 Honda Accord

The 2006 Honda Accord may be the best of themidsize sedans. The Accord simply does everything well. It may not be best in class in every single area, but we can’t think of anything it does poorly. And the coupe packs the Accord’s attributes into a sporty two-door.

For 2006, the Accord gets a freshened look inside and out. Meanwhile, Honda has fortified both engines, the standard four-cylinder and the optional V6, with more horsepower. Accord V6 models get new 17-inch tires and re-tuned suspensions for 2006. And all ’06 Accords benefit from enhanced sound insulation.

The Accord Hybrid, launched as a 2005 model, achieves excellent fuel economy, generates very little emissions (it’s AT-PZEV certified), and delivers more horsepower than the gasoline-only model. And, no, you don’t have to plug it in.

The Accord combines high technology and high quality with everyday economy of operation and keen attention to detail. The popular LX and EX sedans are terrific cars with comfort and convenience features that make them great daily drivers. Order the leather interior, and the EX becomes an affordable luxury sedan. The four-cylinder i-VTEC engine is powerful and responsive, delivering strong acceleration performance for passing. The V6 adds another level of sporting appeal.

The Accord Coupe is a quick, no-hassle, high-quality, sporty two-door that’s great for commuting. Add the V6 and leather and it’s an executive expressmobile.
