Introduction
2002 Honda Accord LX VTEC 4-cyl.



Exterior Styling - 8
Pretty good not great. Best seen from behind.

Interior Styling - 7
A few upgrades would be nice. I don't really much care for the green-backlit CD/Radio.

Exterior Build/Materials Quality - 5
The body of the car itself is good, but the paint is HORRIBLE!

Interior Build/Materials Quality - 9
Seats aren't as comfortable as they could be.

Engine Performance - 10
It's no V6, but when you need power, it's there.

Handling/Braking - 4
Heavy braking can be a scary experience. The brakes are very spongy.

I get around 27/30 mpg city/highway.

Available Features/Options - 5
Not a whole lot of exciting extras come standard in this generation of Accord.

Cost of Ownership - 10
It's been a real easy car to take care of.

Value - 10
Held it's resale value really well.



Conclusion
The 2002 Accord is a great vehicle to own. It does everything it should and more. It comes with a few surprises such as an unusually powerful four cylinder engine.
