We tested the new the Accord lineup in 2013, including in two-door coupe, the Accord V-6-powered car tested for one year, but we can not get our hands on the two-door coupe, higher capacity the time of the 4 - cylinder - let alone a manual gearbox. Accord two-door coupe with a "dream world" is the new 2.4 l the I-4 (very lame name), 185 horsepower and 181 lb - ft of torque.

Accord two-door coupe, and only need to stop from 60 mph to 121 yards.

Accord two-door coupe on the road, very interesting, very easy to drive - the perfect young drivers is reasonable. He got off the line quickly and dramatically, only a trace of torque steer full throttle. The six-speed manual gearbox is one of the best in the business, and crisp, light free throws and the clutch is very easy to pick up, so that the traffic jam is a chore. Alex Ke Sixi the Association of Online editor my thoughts: "The first thing I noticed when I took out the garage MT is intuitive and precise six-speed manual transmission shift feel, as if the magnet shift guidance How smoothly. "
We threw on the road, comfortable, quiet and road noise typical Honda Accord is very wet. The Coupe effective, the net trip computer, 29.5 MPG during his stay, the composite score of more than 28 miles of our hair.
Unfortunately, unlike the past, the Honda Accord is not going to win praise steering feel. Feedback described as limp and lifeless, it will faint numbness, winding road. The two-door coupe is a good deal once you learn to believe that the wheels do what you say they do, but, overall, we want to feel more powerful, or at least movement. Accord steering feeling the fans will be disappointed, but generally buyers may not have any sensible.
Inside, the Accord Coupe is a good place for a general. Cabin, comfortable upholstered chairs on long drives, the rear seats can be used for most people under 6 feet tall. Our only complaint with her is difficult Accord on the interior door armrest and two-screen infotainment system. Our previous dual-screen navigation system, but did not complain (there is not an available EX models) seem vain doubling. Allison, deputy editor, said: "This is ridiculous, you have to admit warning Harwood, the net asset value when the car does not have a warning about distraction, when you do not have a navigation screen to distract you?

It also makes it a little boring, especially when you consider the FR-S "around the same price with the same level of equipment. Finally, those who imagine themselves too mature young riders Scion antics that the Accord Coupe will make a solid purchase agreement.
