Placement and tactile feel. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review |

Responsive trottle. Engine runs willingly up to the redline. Slickest shifter on the planet in a 5 speed manual. (I test drove others). My daughter commented that she cant feel when I shift. I like the way the gear shifter clicks into gear as if sucked in see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Very smooth power delivery from 190 HP 4 cylinder engine via very responsive 5 speed transmission. Transmission is not as modern as GM or Ford 6 speed, but works very well. Engine is a gem. Perfect combination of power and economy. see full Honda Accord review |

Sluggish, rough shift. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
Inline 4 is moderate at best. Offers ample passing power but only at full throttle. The automatic transmission leaves much to be desired as far as shift points are concerned. It often searches even when you put the pedal down. see full Honda Accord review |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD |
The transmission is terrible.Muchtoslowresponding tokick downs (downshifting)when pressing accelerator and needing quick acceleration to pass another car. There would be a very noticable hesitate and then it would abruptly downshift jerking the passengers,and peg the engine rpms. Also no manual mode feature for being a full loaded vehicle. see full Honda Accord review |

The clutch creaks in warmer weather. It's annoying and sounds like an old bed or rocking chair. This is a known complaint in the manual transmissions of this generation car, (2003-2007). It's not a safety issue though. see full Honda Accord review |
