The new 2015 Honda Accord Sport offers dream drive

The midsized sedans in the global car markets are considered as rather boring cars, and the Honda Accord the staple car of the Japanese car maker does not apparently change this notion. With its subdued, but stylish exterior designed and the even more sober interior design, the car certainly does not look that thrilling. However, looks are not everything, and that is what exactly is proven by the new Honda Accord midsized sedan. Under the sober looking skin lies the thrill experience of a superb drive experience.

Among the many available midsized sedans available in the market, the 2015 Honda Accord surely offers an outstanding drive experience. However, the reason behind this awesome drive experience of the Honda Accord is not clear. The cars generated power figures are not that outstanding in the crowd of vehicles in this segment. The Honda Accord “Sport” model trim comes with the company’s acclaimed “Earth Dreams” engine with a displacement of 2.4 liters and comes with 4-cylinders. This engine is capable of churning out a max power output of 189 HP and was apparently named taking the inspiration of Captain Planet. While the motor does not seem to offer excellent power figures, but mated to a 6 speed manual transmission gearbox, it surely does feel like a real dream when driving.

The Honda Accord offers a great and sharp acceleration along with very smooth drive experience. The Accord Sport is can reach from 60mph from an absolute standstill within just 6.6 seconds, which is faster than most of the car’s rivals in the global market. The gearshift feels light and slightly tacky as well, but the slim shifter is a great experience to handle.

The best part about the Honda Accord Sport manual is that it comes along with all the great capabilities while the owners can also save a lot of money over the much expensive V6 engine option that the company offers that is capable of churning out 278 hp of max power. Frankly speaking, the Honda Accord does not really need that extra power with its super cool ride quality that it already offers.

The new 2015 Honda Accord has switched over to a great contemporary double-wishbone suspension system. This also does great job at offering superb handling and smooth turns even at high speeds. The entire powertrain actually offers a complete, engaging and delightful drive experience.

Nevertheless, the Honda Accord is much more of family sedan than that of a sports sedan. Honda has actually meant the Accord Sport to be a family car, which is actually a good thing given its great feel.

The best part is that despite the awesome driving prowess and superb its surprising performance prowess, the new 2015 Honda Accord stays comfortable, and an easy to handle car. The car even offers good fuel economy, though the figures are not great here. It offers 24 mpg on city roads and a 34 mpg on highway. The new Honda Accord is thus a complete sedan.
