The 2009 Honda Accord offers a wide range of features, including Bluetooth, a navigation system, and real-time traffic information via satellite radio.

According to Edmunds, "the [2009 Honda Accord] comes in LX, LX-P, EX and EX-L trim levels.” Included as standard features in the 2009 Accord are "keyless entry, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, fold-down rear seats and a six-speaker stereo with a single CD/MP3 player and an auxiliary audio jack" for the base LX trim.

Automobile says the 2009 Honda is "designed to recruit younger buyers into the Accord fold, and it's aiming at that crowd with a mix of high-tech features."

Edmunds states the top-of-the-line EX-L trim "adds leather upholstery, auto-on headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats...satellite radio...[and a] premium stereo system." Also included are such goodies as alloy wheels, auto up-down front windows, and a power driver seat. By the time one reaches the 2009 Honda Accord Sedan's EX-L trim, nearly every option is included.

"The lone option is a navigation system available on the EX-L trim level that includes voice-activated controls and Bluetooth," according to Edmunds, with Kelley Blue Book reporting that the 2009 Honda's "intuitive DVD-based navigation system—featuring an 8-inch screen and Zagat restaurant ratings—is further enhanced by an accurate and easy-to-use voice-recognition system."

Conclusion

The 2009 Honda Accord can be lean and frugal or loaded to the brim with luxury, depending on how much money you're willing to spend.

Other Choices:

Perhaps the closest competitor to the Accord is the Altima, which provides a similar mix of sporty road manners and well-controlled ride quality, plus good styling inside and out. The Passat remains a solid competitor with its 2.0T four-cylinder engine, but spotty reliability and somewhat higher running costs lessen the appeal. The best-selling Camry is competitive with the Accord in most respects, but its ride is more comfort-oriented and less sporty, and the quality of the interior materials is disappointing relative to the competition. The Fusion appeals to a different type of buyer, with its lean, more masculine design and firmer, more athletic driving feel; it's also a bit smaller. The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu is an especially formidable competitor, with a more distinctive style inside and out and performance to match the Accord.

    2009 EX Accord Sedan with 1100 miles experiencing odd drive train noises at low speed shift points. Shifting is not solid and there is frequent downshifting of AT on even minor grades.
    Low hanging brake line at rear tire area likely subject to damage.
    Working with Honda of America on these issues presently.
