Millennials Car Guide t HONDA ACCORD COUPE Redesigned for 2013, the Accord and its two-door sibling, the Coupe, brought Honda back to the plus side when it came to design and technology. For Millennials, the Coupe offers a more age appropriate version of a car that continues to win accolades for reliability and value. Powered by either the standard four-cylinder or optional V6, the Accord Coupe offers a choice between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission and the continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT earns the best fuel economy, a city/highway EPA estimated 26/29 mpg. The test model came with the optional automatic and averaged 23.8 mpg. Standard features on the new Accord include Bluetooth HandsFreeLink with audio streaming, USB/iPod integration, a rearview camera, an audio/information screen, and an Eco Assist driving system. The instrument cluster is backlit and fades from white to green to indicate fuel-efficient driving. It’s a nice touch. New technology also includes the available lane change warning system that engages a camera view in the center console display screen when switching lanes on the right. The tip of the driver’s side mirror provides a better view into the left lane. Pricing for the 2014 Honda Accord Coupe starts at $24,415.
