2009 Honda Accord
|
| With cost of ownership that was over 8% lower than expected, the Honda Accord ended up in a familiar spot as a winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America award. The increased size of the Accord moved it from its traditional mid-size segment and enabled it to knock out the defending four-time winner, the second place Toyota Avalon. |
