Japanese automakers have ascended the auto industry’s ladder to become some of the most popular and consumer friendly in the whole world.
Honda was the eighth largest auto-mobile manufacturer in the world behind General Motors, Volkswagen Group, Toyota, Hyundai Motor Group, Ford, Nissan, and PSA in 2011.
Hondas are very popular because they are reasonably priced, very durable, have excellent fuel efficiency and are very sport orientated. There is also a sub culture developed by the fans!
2013 Honda Accord Coupe EX-L V6
278HP / 3.5L / 0-60 mph in 6.1s
It's too easy to dismiss a family saloon. What really makes the Accord feel light is the 278-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. Careful chassis tuning keeps the coupe on an even keel, but the powerful V-6 under the hood dominates the experience.
Driven normally, excessive wheelspin and torque steer are kept in line. Revving the engine and dumping the clutch, however, will result in tire smoke and some steering-wheel tug. A hard launch will bring a 0-to-60 time of 6.1 seconds; a quarter-mile time of 14.0 seconds at 103 mph is possible. Forgoing the brutal launch, as we do with our 5-to-60-mph rolling start, adds only 0.4 second to the 60-mph sprint.
