Used Honda Accord 2017 Automatic

If it still feels as if Honda has designed its Accord line from the inside out, there's a good reason for that notion: The automaker says that's exactly how it was done, which results in a smart, efficiently packaged interior that balances comfort and modernity with visibility. A low instrument panel pushed as far forward, and out at the corners, as possible maximizes space and places important controls up very high. The look is a little awkward, but it pays dividends in functionality. But most Accords you'll find on a dealer lot make use of the automaker's direct-injected 2.4-liter inline-4 makes 185 horsepower (189 hp in the Accord Sport) mated to the CVT.

Unlike many CVTs on the market, this transmission works well with the 4-cylinder engine, staying in the engine's thick mid-rev torque curve, avoiding the rubber-band-like responsiveness and droning soundtrack, and even potentially fooling some drivers into thinking it is actually a conventional automatic transmission. With its so-called G-Design shift logic, revs rise quickly, which avoids the standing-start flat spot that some such transmissions have, creating the sensation that it's locking onto "gears" along the way. Honda Sensing, includes an automatic emergency braking system, forward-collision warnings, lane-departure warnings, lane keeping assist, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control.
