Honda Accord 2010 price in Nigeria, review & used car buying guide

In 1976, the very first units of the Honda Accord rolled out of the Sayama Plant located in Japan. The initial design purpose of the Accord was for it to compete with other high-performance sports-oriented cars. However, a shift in objective bordering on some economic and environmental feasibility issues (tighter restriction on emission and volatile fuel prices), meant that the Accord will be presented as a rather modest and fuel-efficient car. The Honda Accord, thus, became a very famous companion to the very successful Civic model.

The exterior look of the Honda Accord 2010 is carefully crafted.

It is a bit tight for big passengers

Overall, the interior proves fine, however, the trunk space is a bit poky standing at 11.9 cubic-ft for the coupe body style and 4 cubic-ft for the sedans. Another Con is the non-adjustable nature of the lumbar support which can be very discomforting when making long hour trips. Generally speaking, the interior is commendable cool, maybe not fully posh but you’ll find it to be sufficiently comfortable and nice.

The 190 hp, 2.4 Liter Inline-4 cylinder engine power all coupe trims as well as the EX trim sedans. You can choose from the two transmission options, either the 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic transmission. These both offer solid performance and fuel economy rating, offering 161 lb-ft torque. Edmunds.com reported that the V6 offers a good enough performance rating accelerating from (0-60) mph in about 7.5 seconds which is fair enough.

The car suspension system offers sufficient damping of vibrations and decent handling even when traveling at a higher speed. The manual and automatic transmission is smooth and offers a seamless gear shift that is almost unnoticed. The braking system performs creditably offering an immediate and adequate response to call into action.

The fuel economy ratings are different with the Coupe using the manual transmission, where it offers the following EPA rating 17/25 (City/Highway) and Combined EPA of 20 mpg, this is partly as a result of the absence of the Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) technology in the V6 engine employed in the Coupe.

On the other hand, the In-line 4 cylinder engine using manual transmission delivers a fuel EPA rating of 22/31 mpg (city/highway) and a combined fuel economy of 25 mpg. For the 4-cylinder engines using the Automatic transmission, its EPA rating stands at 21/30 mpg (city-highway) while the combined EPA is 24 mph.
