Honda brought down the price of a leather-lined four-cylinder model and added some seat heaters for good measure. So it’s not special, but the Accord SE is certainly a good combination of features and comfort at a reasonable price point. There were no SUVs with navigation systems or minivans with DVD players. So, it is family car that will run forever, add a pleasant interior and they will come.

The 2011 Honda Accord SE is a four-cylinder LX Premium model with a leather interior. The seats and the steering wheel both get cowhide covering while the driver seat gets 10-way power adjustments. Both front seats are also heated in the SE.

There’s a new grille, revised bumper design, updated wheels and a new trunk lid. New gearing in the five-speed transmission also bumps the Accord’s EPA numbers a bit. Four-cylinder Accords are now rated at 23 city and 34 highway mpg.

2011 Honda Accord SE has the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine as in the Accord base LX and LX-P trims. It produces 177 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 161 pound-feet of torque at 4,300 rpm. It comes standard with a five-speed automatic transmission with no manual override. There is no manual transmission available on the SE trim level either.

At test track, it is moseyed along from zero to 60 mph in 9.2 seconds (8.9 with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip) and reached the quarter-mile in 16.7 seconds at 83.5 mph.

The 2011 Honda Accord SE is a minor refresh of last year’s model along with a repackaging of a few options to make a leather-lined Accord more affordable. And sure enough, it’s a pretty slick package.

At 194.1 inches long and 72.7 inches wide, the Accord is the largest sedan in this class. It is also the lightest, weighing in at just under 3,300 pounds. In interior there are six-speaker, 160-watt audio system. It has steering-wheel-mounted controls, a CD player and a generic auxiliary input jack but no iPod-specific hookup. The driver seat has eight-way power controls, and the SE provides two-way power lumbar for the driver. With 42.5 inches of front legroom, the Accord is second only to the Hyundai Sonata in this class.

Honda Ridgeline is unitized body structure for a unique combination of capability, interior spaciousness and comfortable ride performance. It has four-door and five-passenger.

A 5-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission and a Variable Torque Management® 4-wheel drive system (VTM-4®) are standard. The EPA rates city/highway/combined fuel economy1 at 15/20/17. A MacPherson strut front suspension in the front and a rear multi-link suspension design contribute to a smooth ride and responsive handling. Standard equipment for towing includes an integrated tow hitch, transmission and oil coolers, heavy duty brakes, dual radiator fans and a wiring harness for a 7-pin trailer hook up.

The braking system includes 12.6-inch front and 13.1-inch rear 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. Steel wheels on the Ridgeline RT measure 17×7.5-inch; the Ridgeline RTS upgrades to alloy.

All of P245/65 R17 tires are standard on the Ridgeline RT and RTS. The Ridgeline RTL is equipped with 18×7.5-inch alloy wheels and all-season P245/60 R18 tires.

The Ridgeline’s modern and athletic design incorporates a solid, one-piece appearance with no separation between the bed and the cab. Large truck-style side mirrors enhance rear vision while towing. The windshield wipers have a heated wiper zone to enhance wiper performance in cold.
