Even with those big wheels (16s and 17s are also available on the sedan, 17s and 18s on the coupe), in my brief time behind the wheel of multiple models, I didn't sense any serious degradation in ride qualityâTouring sedans and coupes now get amplitude reactive dampers to enhance ride quality and body control during cornering, and Honda has made the Accord quieter for 2016.

Although the attractive 19-inch wheels on the Sport sedan, Touring sedan, and new Touring coupe add a bit more road noise, the tradeoff for extra curb appeal will definitely prove worth it for most. Still, the Accord handles itself well enough whether you're hustling or taking it easy.

That might be what most Accord buyers want, but those who seek a real driver's car in this class should consider the comparison-test-winning Mazda6. Out on a winding road, whether you're in a manual-transmission Sport sedan or a top-of-the-line Accord Touring with its standard V-6, the steering is relatively quick but doesn't provide much feel.
