Honda started manufacturing Accord in 1982 in Ohio, US, and since then it has been able to sell 12.7 million Accord cars. This amazing figure tells that car has something which enables it to beat the competition easily. We call it quality, fuel economy, value and comfort. As per Car and Driver Editor in Chief Csaba Csere, “the Honda Accord always drove a little bit better than the competition.”

The Honda Accord was the first car from Honda to be produced in the United States and over the years it grew larger and heavier. What didn’t change is the demand, which is still strong.
