In a show of design and engineering excellence, Honda has earned two coveted Car and Driver 's 10Best Cars awards. The magazine 's editors honored the all-new 2023 Accord and the Civic lineup that includes the all-new 2023 Civic Type R, the most powerful car Honda has ever sold in the United States.
"You can feel the award-winning richness of the Accord before you even leave the parking lot, " said the editors at Car and Driver. "It 's smooth, quiet, refined to the nth degree, and good-looking. With a spacious back seat and a cavernous trunk, it serves well as comfortable transportation for five adults. "
"The reason the entire Civic lineup wins 10Best is because even the most sensible modelsâ€â€Âthe base Sport sedan and hatchbackâ€â€Âare a joy to drive, with balanced chassis, refined road manners, and accurate steering, " said the Car and Driver editors. "Both the Type R and the Si are offered only with a six-speed manual. These are "if you know, you know " cars. But the best thing about the Civic is that its affordability across a wide range of models means more drivers can join in on the fun. "
With 68 total awards, Honda is the winningest brand in Car and Driver 10Best history. At least one Honda has earned a spot on the annual list since the award's inception in 1983. Accord is also the most awarded vehicle in Car and Driver 10Best history by a wide margin. It has made the prestigious list an incredible 37 times, including the last 25 years consecutively.
