The Honda Accord has been a Car and Driver favorite for many years. For proof, one needn't look any further than this: It has won our 10Best Cars award 20 times in the past 24 years. That's a record even Formula 1 great Michael Schumacher can't touch. Like Schumacher, the Accord is the benchmark of its class, the one all other mid-size sedans are tested against. Not because it has the best engine, chassis, or styling, but because it brilliantly combines a good engine with a well-balanced chassis and tasteful styling to make something much greater than the sum of its parts. In its most recent comparison test, Honda's entry comfortably bested the Ford Fusion, the Hyundai Sonata, and the bestselling Toyota Camry. But those were V-6-powered sedans, not the four-cylinder models that make up the majority of sales. So we borrowed a Honda Accord SE, equipped with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder and five-speed automatic, to see if the mass-market Accord still hits the mark.
