There Are Only Two Manual Honda Accords Left In The US

The Honda Accord has been the go-to midsize sedan for those looking for an affordable ride that looks good and performs well, and boy do we think there 2020 Accord drives great. Despite the news that the 2020 carincreased its asking price,我们仍然认为它a great package, but unfortunately, these are some serious changes coming for this competitor to the Toyota Camry. Honda will be making some big changes to its US offering: the excellentHonda Fithas been axed, along with theCivic coupe, while the manual transmission in theAccordwill also be getting the chop. And the worst part? There are only two brand new manual Accords left for sale.

The fact that the Accord's manual transmission has been cut doesn't come as a great surprise, as this mid-management sedan was never really aimed at the driving enthusiast. That's not to say it didn't drive brilliantly, but the Civic Type R is here for a reason. According to Jalopnik, the two cars up for sale are both specced in Sport trim. Sport trim cars feature larger 19-inch alloy wheels, an eight-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, but most importantly get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-pot mated to your choice of ten-speed auto or six-speed manual transmission. The 2.0T Accord Sport's 2.0-liter engine produces 252 horsepower (it shares its engine with the Type R,) and is a peppy car. In ten-speed auto guise, it can accelerate to sixty in only 5.5 seconds. The six-speed manual option isn't as quick, but it's way more engaging to drive on a daily basis.
