Honda Accord LX

Base price: $24,150

Price as tested: $25,450 The steering has more feel, the ride is improved, but Honda’s big deal is that half the dashboard is a mirror image of your phone.

We like: Apple Car Play and Android Auto offered on all trims.

We’d like: Not much about Accord design is memorable, would be good to see a strong identity. Engine: 2.4-litre 4-cylinder Power/torque: 185 hp/181 lb-ft

Fuel consumption L/100 km: 8.6 city,

6.4 hwy.

What’s best: Interior efficiently designed; will bond with your phone.

What’s worst: Not much about exterior design is memorable.

Must-have option: Upgrade to the Honda Sensing trim if you want even more ways to stay in touch with your peeps.

Value for money: Solid choice.
