2011 Accord - a bold refreshening

The mid-cycle refresh is a long list starting with revised styling, improved fuel economy and some tweaked dashboard and driver controls. In addition, an all-new trim level is available, the SE Model, which includes leather-upholstery. As usual, the Accord comes in two models - the comfortable and efficient midsize four-door and the sleek and stylish coupe, a set-up which has helped the Accord become one of America's most popular car lines.

A revised grille and more aggressive front bumper styling adorn the front, while a new trunk lid and taillight design. All the subtle changes add up to one stylish improvement that not only looks fantastic but gets better mileage, to boot. All-new wheel choices are also part of the additions.

All in all, the Honda Accord once again bests the competition with its superior cabin space, comfort levels and materials quality. The fit and finish is at the top of its class, and all the dependability and value you expect from a Honda is ever present.

Honda was proud to announce JD Power has recognized the CR-V, Fit and Ridgeline as the "most dependable" vehicles in each of their segments.

The study, which measures problems customers have in three-year-old vehicles, includes over 197 different areas of potential problems across all aspects of vehicular ownership. Overall dependability is determined by the level of issues experienced for every 100 vehicles of the same type.

Average score for the industry was 155 PP100. A lower score represents quality, and the CR-V received a 113 PP100, the Fit received a 137 PP100 and the Honda Accord received an incredible score of 103 PP100 in terms of dependability within segments.

Go, Honda! These reports tell us what we already know - Honda is no stranger to making dependable, affordable transportation and if you are in the market for a car, it would serve you well to give these, or any other Honda, a good look.
