2018 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport Aiming For The Top

All of us who were quick to write an elegy to the lowly family saloon will have to sit up and ponder over our hasty conclusions. Agreed, it is several years of blandness, apathy and lack of character that led us to think these lackluster three-box people movers were a dying breed. But a few years ago, a knight in shining armour came from the land of the Rising Sun and changed the game completely. The current Mazda 6, with its exceptional good looks, lively drivetrain and great dynamics, inspired other manufacturers to add a bit more excitement to their offerings in this class. The new lease of life that this car infused into the class prompted even veterans like the Toyota Camry to completely overhaul its latest iteration into something actually relatively exciting and good looking. Now it’s the turn of the Accord, Honda’s mid-size saloon that started it all in the late Seventies and set the sales charts on fire straightaway, in the all-important US market and elsewhere.
