2001 Honda Accord Review
The reliability of sunrise - and more.
2001 Accord Review Summary & Specifications
Honda's Accord sets the standard for mid-size sedans. It is a great family car, at or near the top of its class in every measure. Accord offers a smooth, quiet ride, and an attractive interior with front and rear seats that are roomy and comfortable. Its handling inspires confidence and its VTEC engines are smooth, powerful and efficient. To those ingredients are added Honda's reputation for quality, durability and reliability.For these reasons, the Accord is extremely popular. Don't expect to own the only one in your neighborhood: Honda sold more than 400,000 of them in 1999. And don't expect bargain prices, because this vote of confidence puts dealers in the driver's seat. Even so, those who buy a Honda Accord should enjoy many years of pleasant, trouble-free motoring - an important quality for a great family sedan.
