Handling

With a rotation speed of 1000 rpm, the torque has enough power to start the car, and it could run smoothly on a normal road with a rotation speed of 2000 rpm. Driving at full power, the whole process of increasing the rotation speed from 2000 rpm to 5000 rpm experiences a steady power take-off without any obvious halt. The car carries a nice engine, judging by its clear sound.
The difference between the seventh generation and the eighth generation can be discovered when consuming all patrols. One merit of the last generation's i-VTEC is its high rotation speed, however, the new i-VTEC performs very well no matter in which speed level. The powerful torque and even output characteristic make it easier to handle. It is not only suitable to run on the normal road but also on some extreme circumstances. The temporal acceleration per 100 meter is 12.4 seconds, according to the manufacturer, but testing on the asphalt road, the time shortens to 11 seconds.

All 2008 Accord engines deliver increased horsepower across the board, along with high fuel efficiency and low emission. The V6 engine turns out to be a noisy winder when stepping on the pedal hard. The suspension is soft, so it is comfortable sitting in the car even when it comes to a sudden stop. The 2008 Accord features a VGR (variable gear ratio) steering system, which provides better and easier controlling at low speed and steadier handling at high speed.
