Too big, too refined, too expensive, nonsense!ĥ years ago I would not have compared Honda Accord to Audi or BMW. The initial visual is only second to the set of the seat and the first push of the gas pedal - in this case electric, most if not all of the time.įrankly, unless you personally experience the drive and ride dynamic of what Honda proudly and rightfully tags its “Best Accord Ever,” you will never fully understand the importance of this car in the evolution of the Honda brand.
