Honda Phils lent me one of their Honda Accord to test out and told me I can take it out of town, we headed out to see how fast it can go on the highway and quickly drove it up north.
They also told me I can go and stay at the Holiday Inn at Clark so we headed there as soon as we can. Nothing beats the clean even roads of NLEX for a test drive.
The Honda Accord is the car company’s top of the line executive sedan and top Class Driving.

The Accord’s 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine is available in 177- and 190-hp versions, with a strange distinction of 13 hp. The engines have the option of a five-speed manual or automatic transmission, which makes a large difference on the road. 177-hp versions with the automatic are quite anemic, wanting for power in all situations other than takeoff. The manual transmission is a big help, and its smooth and precise operation make for a more enjoyable experience besides. Adding that 13 hp is definitely noticeable, although you’ll still be waiting around for the powerband to deliver in passing and climbing situations, even with the manual transmission.
Complaints have been heard about the four-cylinder engines offering coarse idle and annoyingly resonant vibrations that can be felt throughout the car, although the 190-hp version suffers less from this malady. With the recommended regular-grade gasoline, automatic-equipped four-cylinder Accords return 21/31 mpg, while manual versions improve around town for 22/31.
The 271-hp V6 is decidedly stronger and utilizes Honda’s Variable Cylinder Management cylinder deactivation, which would account for its fuel efficiency of 17/25 on regular-grade gasoline. Unlike its brethren, the V6 is refined and composed, offering none of the loud harshness of the four-cylinder engines.
