for once I agree with Car and Driver

November 25th, 2006

In their short take on the Accord SE they say:

Buying an Accord? We recommend the four-cylinder.

That’s been my suggestion since this generation of Accord debuted – the suspension and steering is overwhelmed by the weight and torque of the V6 (hybrid versions are worse).

In truth I prefer the Subaru Legacy. It more closely approximates what the 1990-1993 and 1998-2002 Accords felt like with pinpoint steering and a chassis that never falls a step behind. Sadly neither family sedan is offered with stability control unless you option them up.

So much for Honda’s ‘Safety for Everyone’...
