1996 Honda Accord Review

A midsize pacesetter that's also fun to drive.

1996 Accord Review Summary & Specifications

Accord prices range from a base price of a DX sedan at $15,100 (including the $395

destination fee) to a fully loaded V6 at $25,100. In the better-equipped models, such

as our LX tester, you still pay a bit of a premium for an Accord, but Honda has

managed to whittle that premium down considerably over the last couple of years.

And when you've signed the bottom line, you drive home in a car that will provide

years of trouble-free driving pleasure.

The Accord has earned a reputation as one of the most consistently reliable cars on

the market. You simply can't go wrong with this car.
