Honda Accord (MkVII)
Overall Average Rating - 87.66%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 20th
That the Accord shoulders aside more expensive cars such as the BMW 3-Series and Audi A4 is a testament to its depth of abilities.
Disappointing brakes aside, it scores with top-drawer reliability, cabin comfort and build quality. But it still has a long way to go to match the third place it achieved back in 2005 – the highest rating scored by any Accord to date.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 5th)
Bosses will be concerned to see Honda drop two places in the manufacturer chart. The Top 100 podium eluded the Accord and Civic, so all hope will rest on the latest Jazz boosting the firm’s ranking next year.
