Accord has already thought of everything.When you first open the door, the progressive selfilluminating gauges come to life.Then, when you insert the key, the instruments begin to brighten. And whenAccord’s engine is started, the panel achieves maximum illumination.What a great way to start every trip. But then, a few thoughtful amenities can only improve on an already good thing.

Accord engines feature the variable valve timing and lift electronic control (VTEC) system.When applied to the 4-cylinder, this technolo gy is called i-VTEC and features the variable timing control (VTC) system.These systems help improve both low-end torque and high-end horsepower.
There are lots ofways to characterize engine performance.We’d like to call attention to that irresistible force that pushes against your shoulder blades when you press the throttle.
Honda engineering excellence is evident in the slick 5-speed automatic transmission you’ll find in allV-6Accords. Its five speeds make the most of the torque and power bands, so the thrust is delivered in one smooth, impressive flow.The 4-cylinderAccords come with a standard, precise-shifting 5-speed manual transmission, whilea5- speed aut oma tic transmission is available.
