About Used Honda Accord Cars in
Utah
Typically, used Honda Accord's have
good fuel economy with a range of about 32 mpg on
the highway, and 26 mpg in the city. It takes
regular unleaded gasoline. The used Accord has had
slight modifications, but its basic fundaments
remain. It was completely redesigned for 1998, and
the 2001 sedan was significantly updated, with a new
engine hood and fascia up front and a new deck lid
and tail lights in the rear. This used car still
features an understated, refined appearance. What's
different is an aggressive stance that gives it just
a taste of a European sedan. This is a vehicle that
does its job well. The Accord has been one of
America's best-selling cars for the past 10 years.
It is most likely that used car buyers are looking
for the Accord’s legendary reliability. For 2001,
all Accords feature Honda's patented dual-stage
inflator airbag technology, which automatically
adjusts the deployment of the front passenger airbag
based on the severity of the crash and whether
seatbelts are being worn. A side airbag system is
standard on EX models or with the V6, and optional
on four-cylinder DX and LX models. A coupe is
available, and Honda designed it to have its own
identity, enhanced for 2001 by a more aggressive
look to the bumpers, a body-colored front grille,
and new alloy wheel designs. As before, only its
headlights and door handles are shared with the
sedan. The Coupe is a good looking used car, and a
good choice for busy executives who want a car that
is both sporty and practical. The Accord is an easy
car to drive. This handling is balanced because of
the Accord's strong chassis and double-wishbone
front and rear suspensions. At the handling limit,
it tends toward under-steer - the front tires lose
grip before the rear tires. Accord EX V-6 feels is
typically lighter on its feet than its used car
competitors, the Toyota Camry or Chevrolet Malibu.
The Accord also had superb brakes. In fact, Honda's
Accord sets the standard for mid-size sedans. Accord
offers a smooth, quiet ride, and an attractive
interior with front and rear seats that are roomy
and comfortable. Furthermore, in 2001 Accords were
made to meet or exceed California's Low Emissions
Vehicle (LEV) standard, regardless of which engine.
Honda used airline business-class seating as a model
for the Accord interior, which is a perfect example
of space efficiency. The front seats are wide and
comfortable and there's a great amount of room for
rear seat passengers. While pre-1998 Accords were
considered big compacts, the 2001 Accord is a true
midsize sedan. Generous front and rear door openings
make it easy to get in and out of the car. Extra
features that may be found on this used car make it
even better. Sun visors offer sliding extensions. A
HomeLink remote control system can be programmed to
open garage doors, turn on house lights and turn off
security systems. The Accord has good all around
design, excellent fuel consumption rates, and is a
great value.
