While many Americans are familiar with the Accord Sedan, its fair to say not many could point out the Coupe if it passed them on the highway. Thats because the rakish Coupe looks nothing like its sedan counterpart, carved in sleek sheetmetal and hunkered low to the ground, the Accord Coupe could easily be mistaken for a high-priced German or Italian performance coupe. Fortunately for those smitten by the Accords good looks, its price tag is every bit as reasonable as the sedan, leaving consumers with one question, can I live without four doors?

Honda Accord Crosstour EX-L – The Honda of Crossovers
 |

By Dan Scanlan

Okay gang, repeat after me ? this is a station wagon.
Yes, it may be called a vehicle that “combines the sophisticated refinement of a premium sedan with versatile aspects from an SUV to create an entirely distinct concept within the Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) segment,” says Honda’s PR machine. But it just might be an evolution of the Accord station wagon from some years back ? except for the SUV-like increased ride height and sort-of crossover-like shape.
Whatever you end up calling it, the Crosstour does have a lot of strengths … and a few weaknesses.
*Crosstour creation ? One look at the Crosstour shows its Accord heritage, albeit one taller in the saddle. Yes, the Crosstour has a taller, blunter dual chrome bar grill, but the basic Accord look and the slashed headlights design of the sedan. The Crosstour has a more aggressive lower intake and air dam, with slim integrated fog lights, a character line flowing off the lower nose and into the flat-edged front flares. There’s more space between the 18-inch Michelin rubber on 5-spoke alloys and wheel well here than in the sedan, but the rising beltline is the same, as is the design slash that carries through the door handles. With .6-inches more ground clearance, the Crosstour stands taller, the look aided by the dimpled lower door sill, a kind of homage to an SUV running board. The roofline aft of the C pillar becomes a hatchback fastback, a la’ Porsche Panamera, the side swage line neatly bisecting the wedgy taillights as the rear window stops in a spoiler-like rear deck. And just like the new Insight and old CRX, there’s a vertical lower glass in the hatch to help rearward vision, split by an almost chest-high rear spoiler over a step-like rear bumper with twin chrome exhaust tips under a gray lower trim piece.
It isn’t pretty, nor does it look much like a station wagon. But it is an interesting shape.
*Honda habitation -. If it looks familiar in here, it is. The basic Accord dashboard is carried over intact, from the gentle double cowl design accented in plastic wood to the black-faced gauges with ice blue lighting and manual tilt/telescope steering wheel. That wheel gets voice-command/Bluetooth cellphone, cruise and stereo buttons in the usual spots. The inset satellite navigation screen and the central dash bulge underneath should be familiar to Accord and Acura owners, a slit inset LCD screen in the middle offering stereo, clock and outside temperature information. Underneath, a volume knob is flanked by XM, six-disc CD, Aux and radio station buttons on a great-sounding 380-watt sound system with sub-woofer. Dual-zone climate controls are to the left and right of the big central tap and twist audio/sat-nav knob and its buttons, all of which work well, most functions duplicated via steering wheel or voice command (for navigation, keyboard entry, climate control and audio). And yes, you can spell or speak an address to get sat-nav working ? Honda said it can recognize up to 100,000 words. The sat-nav screen doubles as the back-up camera screen, handy since the divider between the fastback and vertical-ish rear window, plus rear seat head restraints block some rearward vision. Good news ? active noise cancellation was on our Crosstour, and worked ? we never noticed any noises except for a one-time squeak around the driver’s shoulder belt. The power sunroof controls shared space overhead with three HomeLink buttons.
The leather bucket seats get contrasting stitching, the driver with two memory presets and 8-way power adjustments for a comfortable, decently supportive ride. Rear seat access is easy with big doors, and there’s good head and leg room for two, three if needed, with a center armrest and floor-level a/c vents. Overall, a Toyota Venza has more cleverly-designed nooks and storage spots for driver and passenger. But the Crosstour has a few tricks up its sleeve in the rear cargo area. First, two levers on the inside rear fender wells let you drop the split rear seat backs and expand a roomy area to 51.3 cubic feet. Lift up the nicely carpeted floor panel, flip it over, and hard-edged stuff can be carried. Open up the panel and there’s a 1/9-cubic-inch underfloor space with flip-up handles, so you can carry what’s in it, out. Two slim side underfloor cargo areas flank it as well. The hatch opens high, the load floor high enough for easy loading too. Overall, good fit and finish on the hard black plastic dash and console, the latter’s armrest hiding a USB/iPod input and standard auxiliary audio input with 12-volt power outlet.
* Crosstour characteristics ? Based on the Accord platform, the slightly taller Crosstour does what you’d expect an Accord to do, with a 3.5-liter, 271-hp V-6 (only engine offered) under the bonnet. An Accord Coupe we tested last year with a 3.5-liter, 268-hp engine and 5-speed automatic hit 60-mph in 6 seconds; the slightly taller and heavier (4,070-lbs. vs. 3,522-lb. Accord sedan) Crosstour did it in a nice 7.5 seconds. We had good throttle and transmission response during passing, while the auto-box will hold a gear in turns with a new lateral G-force control. A 268-hp ToyotaVenza we tested did it in 6.5-seconds, while an average 22-mpg. A 170-hp Subaru Forester we tested did it in 11 seconds at an average 17-mpg, the turbo 225-hp version probably faster. Indicated Crosstour gas mileage was about 22-mpg on regular, thanks in part to a cylinder management system that cuts it down to three- or four-cylinder mode for efficiency.Under the skin, a fully independent double wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension offered a comfortably controlled ride that offered a bit more lean than the sedan/coupe we’ve tested. The 59/41 percent front-to-rear weight distribution added a touch of front understeer when pushed, handled by stability control but less sporty than an Accord sedan. The steering is precise and light, while the all-wheel disc brakes stopped us well, but started to show fade after a few heard stops. For safety, front, drivers and front passenger’s side airbags, with side curtain airbags.
*Crosstour cost ? You can get an EX with standard dual-zone climate control, 360-Watt AM-FM- 6 disc audio system, 17-inch rubber with alloy wheels, hidden removable utility box, cruise control, moonroof, auto up/down front windows and compass and outside temperature indicator. Our EX-L added upgraded leather seats (heated up front), with 18-inch alloy wheels, memory driver seat and side mirrors with reverse tilting capability, cargo cover, HomeLink transmitter, Kevlar cone speakers and a USB audio interface. Our tester was the navigation version with backup camera. Base price was $34,770. As tested was $35,480. A Subaru Forester 2.5X Limited we had was about $28,000 with the smaller engine, our fully-loaded V-6 Venza was almost $36,000, with as many options on board as our Crosstour.
*Bottom line ? Built in Ohio, the Crosstour is just fine. Maybe it isn’t as crossover-looking as a Venza or Subaru Outback, and that could be good ? no one gave the Crosstour a second look. But my final question is ? why not just bring us a Honda Accord station wagon?

Honda Accord Coupe – Shifting into fun

Fun can be spelled in many ways. We just rediscovered one spelling – Honda Accord coupe with a manual transmission.
It’s a mouthful, but this tossable Accord is loaded with entertainment, otherwise known as fun on four wheels. While many people wouldn’t get behind the wheel of a car without an automatic, this vast majority is missing out on a delightful experience.
We had a blast driving the 271-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 version with a six-speed manual transmission but the 4-cylinder with its five-speed manual is just as entertaining a road carver and runner because you have to keep the 190-horsepower 4-cylinder engine percolating at the correct rpm to get the most out of it. There’s less straight ahead performance, but on the flip side there’s a big out-the-door price advantage and gas mileage is considerably better.
Unfortunately, to get a driver’s car out of the Accord lineup these days, you will have to go for the two-door. While the Accord sedan is solid family transportation with great reliability and outstanding trade-in value, driving excitement is not part of its pedigree.
Ascetically the coupe handles the current Accord design much better than the sedan. We think it is one of the hottest looking mid-priced four-passenger coupes currently on the market. Numerous thumbs up on the road and a plethora of parking lot voyeurs confirmed our opinion. And to some degree of surprise the age range of enthusiasts spanned several generations; from young to old the sporty looks of the coupe attracted an appreciating crowd.
The driving experience is truly Honda-like, which to us means a confident on-road demeanor, quality construction, great sight-lines, first-class materials, wonderful fit and finish and a bundle of useable and ergonomically designed switchgear.
Climb into an Accord coupe and your mood immediately lightens. It’s not the fall-into-the-cockpit adrenaline elevator of a Corvette or Porsche, but more a feeling that all is right with the world because all is right with my car.
Just to dispel any thoughts that the 4-cylinder version is slow, an idea we might have already planted by our aforementioned remarks, it can clear 60 miles per hour from a dead stop in about 7.5 seconds if you make good use of the five forward gears. Not fast, but fast enough and get it off the straight stretches of four-lane highway and onto some winding, tight rural asphalt and then the entertainment factor soars.
The mechanical dynamics of the Accord coupe add ease to the drive; the clutch action is liquid and the shifts are smooth and quick and both are forgiving of driver shortcomings. You could teach a newcomer to drive with little worry of a burned out clutch or a stripped gear.
Additional smiles will be induced each time you pass your favorite gas stop. It is rated at 31 mpg highway and 22 city compared to the V-6′s rather thirsty-by-comparison 25/17. Both engines, thankfully, burn regular gas.
Our well-equipped EX-L with navigation carried a bottom line of $28,790. The comparable V-6 goes out the door for $32,015. In LX-S base trim the coupe can be purchased for $23,265.
The coupe carries the character line of the sedan, which sweeps downward from the rear haunches into the fender, but in a more dramatic way. A steeply raked rear window is another big differentiator between the coupe and sedan, creating the impression that the car is in motion even standing still. The coupe proportions are just right although we still can’t wrap our mind around the front-end design in either coupe or sedan formats.
Regardless of trim level, you will find a very pleasing dashboard layout, comfortable seats and a huge greenhouse offering a great look out on all sides. The seats in our upscale test car were particularly pleasing and with eight-way power and tilt and telescoping steering wheel it was easy to find a comfortable seating position.
While coupes have swoopy good looks, they are obviously not as passenger friendly as a sedan. You sacrifice for the stylish sportiness of a two-door. But gaining rear access in the Accord is a relatively painless pursuit with flip-and-slide front buckets. One problem, the front seatback on the right does not return to its original position and has to be adjusted by the front-seat passenger each time someone enters or departs.
Once housed in back, two adults will find adequate leg room and passable head room. Four people can be comfortable for short trips. There are three sets of belts in back, but it is advisable to reserve the middle seat for a child.
The trunk provides a useable 11.9 cubic feet of storage space. This is compared to 7.4 cubic feet for its direct competitor, the Nissan Altima coupe. For more space, the rear seatback can be folded forward to accommodate longer items. Indeed, we had to fold the seat down to carry two sets of golf clubs.
We applaud Honda for its emphasis on safety. Unlike many manufacturers who still make some safety items optional, Honda provides a full line of safety equipment on all trim levels. In the case of the Accord it includes antilock disc brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, stability control, traction control, tire-pressure monitoring, front side airbags and full-length side-curtain airbags.
A sour note here – despite ABS with Brakeforce distribution, a major automotive magazine measured the Accord stopping distance in a longish 137 feet.
Our well-equipped EX-L Navigation edition carried a price of $28,790. In addition to navigation, the package includes leather-trimmed seats, a 270-watt premium audio system with seven speakers, and dual-zone climate control. Our V-6 Navigation edition had no add-ons and billed at $32,015 including destination.
We very much like the Accord coupe. We think it would be a perfect driving companion for people who don’t regularly carry rear seat passengers. And we like it with either the V-6 or the lusty four. But we especially enjoy the great fun factor the manual shifter brings to the equation.
