Powerful. Nimble. Refined. The 2004 Honda Accord.
At first glance, the Accord Sedan will captivate you: Its exterior is sleek, aggressive and perfectly fitting for its available 240-horsepower V-6 engine. Inside, you'll be pampered by a wide array of unexpected touches, like heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, XMฎ Satellite radio,* and an available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice activation.† Yet through and through, this vehicle is unmistakably an Accord. In fact, it's the 17th Accord to be named to Car and Driver's "10Best" list in the past 21 years.

*XM Satellite radio is available in 48 contiguous states only. See your Honda dealer for subscription details. Available on the EX V-6 and leather-trimmed EX.

†available on select EX models
