The Big Honda.

There is big, and there is big. So you may not think the Honda Accord is a big car. After all, it’s only 162.8 inches long. And that’s a good deal shorter than the Chevrolet Monza’s 178.6 inches.

But the outside dimensions of a car don’t always tell you how big it is inside. And that’s where the Accord may surprise you.

Like all Hondas, the Accord has a transverse-mounted engine with front-wheel drive. This means the engine is tucked away up front, out of the way, and there is no drive shaft to the rear wheels. The space we save by this configuration is turned over to our passengers in the form of roominess and comfort.
