2023 Honda Accord

|June 2023
Two steps forward, one step back
The hardest part about setting the bar is you’ll forever be judged against it. Honda’s Accord has been a leader in the sedan market for years. Now there’s a new version and although it’s improved in many ways, the 2023 Accord doesn’t quite rise to the standard of the car that came before it.
The base LX and next-step EX models come with a 1.5-liter turbocharged I-4 and continuously variable transmission. Fuel economy is about even compared to last year’s car and remains respectable.
At 192 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, the little engine is appropriately powerful. The turbo comes on quickly and makes the car pretty zippy off the line as basic midsize sedans go. Honda’s CVT remains one of the best, changing ratios quickly and smoothly and making the most of the available power. The brake pedal is a little vague, but the relationship between pedal travel and stopping power is correct, and the car stops well.

Audi A5/S5
The smaller end of Audi's lineup is undergoing what's known in corporate parlance as a restructuring, shrinking from the A4 sedan, A5 coupe and convertible, and A5 Sportback (plus each one's sportier S version) to just one model: the A5 and the more powerful S5.

FORD'S EXCELLENT SMALL PICKUP EARNS OUR HIGHEST HONOR AT LAST
Are pickups becoming caricatures of their former selves? They seem to grow larger and heavier with each successive redesign to the point where you need staircase tailgates just to load them. Swimming against this tsunami is the wee Ford Maverick, a pickup that allows normal-sized human adults to reach in over the side rail and grab items off the bed floor without even standing on tippy-toes. The climb into the bed is manageable without steps, and many tailgate partiers may find their feet resting on the ground. Revolutionary.
