A neatly arranged dash, with styling cues from bigger, posher cars – spoiled by false wood trim on some models. A good driving position is easily achieved, as the seat and steering wheel are highly adjustable, and it’s a comfortable place to spend hours at a time. Visibility isn’t so great in the saloon and the sat nav on top models can be a little distracting.

It’s by no means a tight squeeze for passengers, but the Accord is a little neater than the class rivals. This is fine for a solitary travelling rep, but as an executive motor, or a family car you’ll find you can only get four adults in comfortably, but children will have little room to play.
