The Accord Coupe has enough power, handling and smart features to satisfy even the most discriminating driving enthusiast. Choose a quick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed automatic in 4-cylinder models. In Accord V-6 models, go with the standard 5-speed automatic or opt for a 6-speed manual. A Drive-by-Wıre™ throttle system helps to smooth the power delivery, and the 2.4-liter i-VTEC engine utilizes Variable Timing Control™ (VTC™), boosting power and economy, and optimizing fuel efficiency.

This sophisticated safety device aids the driver in retaining control of the vehicle if wheel slippage is detected. When the driver is cornering or must make a sudden maneuver, the system can sense oversteer and understeer and can brake individual wheels and/or reduce power to restore the driver’s intended course.
The 2.4-liter, dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) i-VTEC 4 cylinder engine is designed to meet the Accord's fuel mileage and lower emissions goals.
The single-overhead-camshaft SOHC VTEC system is designed to deliver both high performance and high fuel efficiency. Four valves per cylinder and a 3-rocker VTEC enhance performance and power.
A sophisticated, electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission is offered on the Accord Coupe. The transmission uses the engine's broad torque curve for brisk acceleration, optimal fuel economy and smooth-shifting characteristics.
The clutch mechanism on the 6-speed transmission incorporates a hydraulic delay that eliminates abrupt engagement and clutch-grab, resulting in smooth engagement under various conditions.
The advanced 4-wheel front and rear double wishbone suspensions use both lower and upper control links. This allows Honda engineers the flexibility to tune the suspension for predictable cornering feel and emergency maneuvering, to ensure a smooth and stable ride.
Instead of a mechanical linkage from the accelerator to the fuel-injection throttle, the Accord Sedan uses “Drive-by-Wire” technology. The system uses an electronic position sensor connected to the accelerator pedal that sends an electronic signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
All EX -L and V-6 models have an 8-way power driver's seat. The front seats on the Coupe are 20-inches wide and offer numerous adjustments. The seat-cushion angle and contour provide more thigh support. A manual seat-height adjustment is standard on LX models. A power height-adjustable seat is standard on 4-cylinder EX models.
Accord automatic transmissions use Honda’s Grade Logic Control system. This system differs from other computer controlled shift programming because it can detect vehicle driving situations and then set appropriate shift points for the car. This feature avoids gear hunting on uphills and descents, and downshifts for added engine braking.
Planning a trip? Lost in the suburbs? Either way, the Navigation System is here to help. With up to eight gigabytes of memory and voice recognition, it provides convenient directions using a series of 24 global positioning satellites.
In addition to controlling the power door locks for the driver’s and all other doors, this system will also lower all the power windows. This allows drivers to vent the interior of the Accord as they approach their vehicle.
