Some people don't think the Accord is exciting. They call it a boring commuter car, a car devoid of personality.

Those people have never driven an Accord. With recent redesigns, the Accord has gotten sexier, more powerful and as a result it is darn near as perfect as a car can be in terms of meeting a core level of automotive challenges. It is simply the kind of car that keeps on going -- on the road and in its seemingly endless popularity. Few other vehicles have captured the combination of practicality, fun, value and affordability as successfully as the Accord -- which is why it remains the Top Overall New Consumer Choice Award winner. The Accord's mix of value and competitive pricing convince many online shoppers that it is the kind of vehicle they want - and need -- to purchase. The 2004 model year is a carryover from 2003, and is available as a coupe and a sedan, in a variety of trims. Among other changes, the 2005 Honda Accord features front side airbags and side curtain airbags for the first and second row in all sedan and coupe models.
