The Accord Coupe is the stylish two-door version of Honda’s popular Accord sedan. Although not an out-and-out sports car, the Accord Coupe nonetheless features responsive handling and slick transmission choices to go along with its spacious cabin and high level of overall refinement.

Outside, the Accord Coupe is characterized by a swept-back roofline, tasteful chrome accents and a sportier grille and lower front fascia than the sedan. Additionally, all sheetmetal aft of the windshield is unique to the coupe. The interior is relatively spacious, with the rear seats boasting a healthy amount of legroom for a two-door. Material quality and fit-and-finish are good for the class, although the button-laden center stack is hard to decipher for some. Honda actually took steps to fix this situation in the latest refresh, which moved the most frequently used climate control buttons to the left side of the control stack, closer to the driver for ease-of-use. Less-frequently used buttons are now positioned on the right side.

Buyers get a choice of four- or six-cylinder engines and manual and automatic gearboxes. The entry-level motor is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that makes 190 horsepower along with 162 lb-ft of torque. While most buyers will opt for a smooth-shifting five-speed automatic, enthusiasts will want to roll with the standard five-speed stick that provides the easily modulated clutch and snick-snick shift action that have characterized Honda manuals for decades.

Fuel economy for the four-cylinder is rated at 23 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway for the stick and 22/33 mpg for the automatic.

Those looking for a bit more power can choose the optional 3.5-liter V6, sends 271 horsepower to the front wheels. Torque is rated at 251 lb-ft for the six-speed manual, which helps the engine return 17/26 mpg, and 254 lb-ft for the five-speed auto, with which the engine is rated at 19/29 mpg.

Trim Level Breakdown
The Accord Coupe eschews options in favor of six different trim levels (LX-S, EX, EX-L, EX-L with navigation, EX-L V6 and EX-L V6) to give buyers the features they want.

The base LX-S utilizes the four-cylinder motor and inclues A/C, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with a USB input jack and a six-disc CD changer, 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and power windows and locks.

The EX adds a power moonroof, heated power side mirrors, an upgraded 270-watt sound system with seven speakers, Bluetooth hands-free smartphone connectivity and steering-wheel-mounted phone controls.

Moving up to the EX-L brings leather upholstery, a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, automatic climate control and XM Radio. Logically enough, the EX-L with navigation adds a satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition; this trim is only available with the automatic transmission.

As its name suggests, the EX-L V6 adds the six-cylinder motor in addition to 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear decklid spoiler and a homelink remote system. Like its four-cylinder counterpart, the EX-L V6 with navigation adds a satellite-linked navigation system with voice recognition.

Occupant Safety
For safety, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure is an exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes. The ACE design utilizes a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. This enhanced frontal crash energy management helps to reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment.

Other protective measures include dual front, side and side curtain airbags along with traction and stability control systems and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Key Competitors
As a front-wheel-drive sedan-based coupe, the Accord Coupe's only true competitor is the Nissan Altima Coupe. The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ are in the same price range but are much smaller and more driver-focused, while the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro represent powerful, retro-flavored alternatives.
