Millennials Car Guide
t HONDA ACCORD COUPE
Redesigned for 2013, the Accord and its two-door sibling, the Coupe, brought Honda back to the plus side
when it came to design and technology. For Millennials, the Coupe offers a more age appropriate version of a
car that continues to win accolades for reliability and value.
Powered by either the standard four-cylinder or optional V6, the Accord Coupe offers a choice between a
six-speed manual or automatic transmission and the continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The CVT earns the best fuel economy, a city/highway EPA estimated 26/29 mpg. The test model came with
the optional automatic and averaged 23.8 mpg.
Standard features on the new Accord include Bluetooth HandsFreeLink with audio streaming, USB/iPod integration, a rearview camera, an audio/information screen, and an Eco Assist driving system. The instrument
cluster is backlit and fades from white to green to indicate fuel-efficient driving. It’s a nice touch.
New technology also includes the available lane change warning system that engages a camera view in the
center console display screen when switching lanes on the right. The tip of the driver’s side mirror provides a
better view into the left lane.
Pricing for the 2014 Honda Accord Coupe starts at $24,415.
