honda accord

Last year, Honda Philippines sent us to an overnight strip to Clark along with their 2010 Honda Accord. With the new Honda Accord 2011, they lent us the vehicle for a week to take around the city. We got the Accord 3.5L variant, the faster and more powerful one -- and the more expensive too. As expected, the new Accord 2011 delivered as promised -- same great design with all the right curves, packed with luxury features, spacious seating, a comfortable ride and more than enough power when you needed it. Unlike the previous test drives where we pushed the limit on how fast we can push the speedometer, our experience with the Honda Accord is mostly city-driving. The bigger engine (a 3.5 DOHC 24V V6) offers faster acceleration and better speeds but when you're concern is gas consumption, Honda still Eco-mode where the engine drops the running cylinders to half when you're cruising, thereby reducing the gas-guzzling mode. Even if the Accord is fully automatic, you can switch to manual mode and change gears using the paddle shifters placed on the steering wheel (I'm not comfortable with paddle shifters so I didn't use them). Check out this quick video I made showing some of its features: The Accord is a great ride, has a powerful engine, very spacious & comfy seating and reasonably priced for the luxury and features it offers.
