Honda Accord Saloon boot space, practicality and safety
The Accord only scored four stars out of five for adult occupant protection in official European crash tests, when most contemporary rivals are able to achieve five stars. It lost marks because the front passenger’s knees were not sufficiently protected in a crash. But it ticks all the right boxes in other areas: six airbags, ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution, while security consists of deadlocks and immobiliser and a perimeter alarm as standard.
But you’ll pay for interior alarm sensors. Bluetooth compatibility has become available on the Accord since 2006, and the top petrol model is available with adaptive cruise control (which can help maintain a consistent gap with traffic in front, braking if necessary) and ‘lane-keeping assist’ which will keep the car in the centre of a lane as long as it senses the driver’s hands on the steering wheel.
Decent boot space at 459 litres, although a little short of the class best and there is a relatively high sill. Luggage space can be expanded by folding the rear seats forward. There are a few small storage compartments in the cabin and the glove compartment is a decent size.
