2013 Honda Accord Production Begins in Ohio, Marks 30 Years of U.S. Manufacturing. Production of the 2013 Honda Accord begins this week at the automaker's Marysville Auto Plant, marking 30 years of U.S. manufacturing.

ninth generation The 2013 Accord represents the ninth generation of the nameplate. The 2013 Honda Accord has a new platform, engine, transmissions, suspension, bodywork, interior, electronics and safety equipment. It is appropriate it to call it a new car.

The 2013 Honda Accord has a stylish cabin with plenty of room, comfortable seats, and soft-touch surfaces. However, the Accord sits in the middle of the competitive midsize car class because its reliability rating isn't as high as rivals and its transmissions have lackluster performance.

Two Earth Dreams™ engines are initially available in the 2013 Accord family – an all-new direct-injected (DI) 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, and a significantly updated 3.5-liter V-6 that is Honda's most powerful to date.

Debuted on 22 September 1981, in Japan, Europe, and North America, this generation of the Accord being produced in Japan, also became the first to be built in the United States, at Honda's plant in Marysville, Ohio.

We recommend skipping the 2013 and 2014 Accords. Thankfully, the rest of the ninth generation (2015, 2016, and 2017) has improved in terms of reliability. The most reliable Honda Accord year for this generation is the 2015 model.

The four-cylinder was even more impressive, hitting 60 mph in 7.6 seconds with the CVT and 6.8 seconds with the manual, while the quickest last-generation four-cylinder Accord we tested needed 8.2 seconds to do the deed. There are a few noteworthy components to those results.

Punchy V6 is the Pick of the 2013 Honda Accord Range Thanks to its Power and Better Reliability. Given the 2.4-liter Earth Dreams engine's well-documented issues, those looking at purchasing a used 2013 Honda Accord are better off going with the 3.5-liter V6, even if it can also suffer from starter motor issues.

The Accord's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine has been redesigned to incorporate direct-injection (DI) for 2013. This is the first application of direct-injection for a Honda vehicle in the North America.
