Honda Accord dimensions

The 2012 Honda Accord still has a lot going for it, but we think astute shoppers will find that several of its rivals are now more compelling. Honda Accord Coupe offers the following pros: Ample passenger space; impressive visibility; good fuel efficiency in four-cylinder model; available coupe body style; high resale value. Honda Accord Coupe drawbacks are: Intrusive road noise; disappointing dashboard quality; so-so braking distances; V6 lacks the get-up of competitors.

The 2012 Honda Accord is available as a midsize sedan and coupe. The sedan comes in LX, LX-P, SE, EX and EX-L versions, while the coupe comes in LX-S, EX and EX-L trims.

The base LX trim comes equipped with 16-inch metal wheels, full performance accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping helm, a height-adjustable manual driver bench and a six-speaker audio system with a CD player, an optional stereo slot and an Ipod/usb stereo interface. The LX-P trim adds 16-inch alloy wheels and an eight-way power-adjustable driver bench. For the Honda Accord SE, Honda adds leather upholstery, power-adjustable driver lumbar support and heated front seatings. The EX adds to or supplants LX-P equipment with 17-inch alloys, automatic headlights, a more comprehensive four-cylinder motor, a sunroof, heated mirrors, updated dashboard trim and a Six-cd changer.

The EX-L adds dual-zone automatic conditioning, heated front seatings, a front passenger bench with four-way performance adjustment, leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth, a seven-speaker updated audio system, radio and the feature of a navigator with voice control and a rearview camera. A V6-equipped EX-L also gains driver bench memory options.

The coupe's LX-S trim is equipped similarly to the LX sedan, but gets 17-inch wheels and a Six-cd changer. The EX coupe adds the EX-L sedan's updated audio system without radio. Both lumbar and radio are added to the EX-L. Opting for the EX-L with a V6 also adds 18-inch wheels. .
