0 2013 New Honda Accord EX Coupe


Dynamic of the Accord Coupe EX highest trim levels you can get the Accord Coupe four-cylinder engine and manual gearbox - a young man and woman who did not actually get to the continuation of the movement fantasy stuff Scion FR-S's like perfect. Accord EX Coupe is equipped with six-speed manual in any color you like, as long as it is black. Standard equipment includes fog lights, power sunroof, handsfree keyless, multi-angle rearview camera, as well as engine start / stop button. In the absence of additional equipment can be used to store additional accessories such as cargo nets, Accord Coupe tester at a reasonable cost of $ 25,815.


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. Although the new Honda CVT, the CVT is quite good - fortunately, our tester equipped with 6-speed manual gearbox is slick.




The Accord Coupé hole soon, to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph acceleration in a respectable 6.6 seconds, compared to the two-door coupe fully Accord V-6 manual and one-tenth of a second faster Accord sedan I -4 one second slower and the six-speed transmission. The two-door Accord complete the quarter-mile in 15.1 seconds to 92.6 mph - not really fast, but it is only 0.1 seconds behind by the 2012 Civic Si we tested last year. Accord two-door coupe, and only need to stop from 60 mph to 121 yards.

Less weight on the nose, which is not surprising, the two-door Accord coupe EX V-6 outperformed the market supply, the brothers and sisters in the handling test. Accord V-63367-pound, four-cylinder 3201 I-4 pounds, provide excellent front / rear weight distribution in addition to weight loss. The door two average 0.88 g Proving Ground, and successfully complete a figure eight in 26.7 seconds at 0.65 g (AVG), Accord two-door coupe V-6 beats a time of 27.0 seconds, but he's an average of 0.68 g.

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? "In addition, the Bluetooth function less intuitive, sometimes a phone, refused to restore the radio.



Accord Coupe 2013 is a simple suggestion, I feel the need rapid growth to make friends. It is comfortable, good driving, it makes sense. 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. Harwood, said: "This is not a dull family sedan," but people who want something a little more grown up, but do not want to have too mature, it may be a good choice. "
