| | 2003 Honda Accord - Road Test & First Drive - Motor Trend |
 | | Honda started from scratch with a new body structure that has greater rigidity, encloses more interior volume, and is friendlier to the passing airflow. |
 | | Exterior dimensions of the Accord Sedan (see sidebar for details on the new Coupe) are little changed, though the wheelbase has been stretched a full inch, to 107.9 in., and head- and kneeroom, especially in the back seat, are increased enough to make a difference. |
 | | Honda decided early on that the Accord's new body structure had to rank it at the top of the midsize class in safety crash tests conducted by the government and the insurance industry. |
