In 2002 the Honda Accord was the best selling car in the United States. In that year the new feature was room, moving the Accord from a compact to a mid-size automobile. Although ratings for the 2002 Accord are not quite as high as more recent models, this is the year that made Honda Accord what we recognize it to be today. Style, performance, comfort and quality all get better-than-average marks. At the same time gas mileage, trade-in value and price are great values.
