In my opinion the 2013 Honda Accord is the best overall car in the midsize class. The Honda Accord does most things well and it gets all the important things right. The Accord has good power and gas mileage. Although the acceleration and power from a standstill are only adequate, the power and acceleration at highway speeds are surprisingly robust. If you drive the car at the speed limit you can easily manage 35 miles per gallon or more on long distance trips. Moreover, the Accord has a spacious and comfortable interior. The Accord will easily seat 4 adults. There is great rear seat leg and head room. While the ride of the Accord is a bit harsh on bumpy roads, it's tolerable. There are tradeoffs to a stiffer suspension; such stiffness in the suspension gives the driver confidence driving around curves. One neat item I was surprised to find on the Accord was a 2 button driver seat memory feature. This allows 2 separate drivers to input their unique driver seat position so that they can easily switch between them. After looking at multiple cars in the midsize segment, I continue to be impressed by the Honda Accord.

The whole vehicle feels incredibly well made. The interior has leather seats and high quality paneling. The steering wheel is nice and firm, not overly assisted and seems to have a 1:1 relationship with the tires. The suspension feels nice and firm, and even on the local back roads it's a smooth pleasure to drive. It also includes a pretty generous set of features including dual-climate zones, driver and front passenger powered seats, seat warmers, six-disc CD changer, and aux/usb in. The car has been nearly maintenance free in the year I've owned it with the only maintenance I have had to do being a brake change. The engine feels powerful despite it being a four-cylinder, and the fuel economy has been great (23 city, 34 hwy). Even the trunk is nice; I can fit multiple laundry baskets in it when I go to do laundry. The only bad things I've found so far are that a few buttons don't light up that should, and the seat warmer on the drivers side doesn't have a working high setting.
