2003 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6

While stepping into a baseline 4-cylinder LX Coupe can be done for as little as $19,300, moving up to an EX 6-speed raises the tariff to $25,900 plus $460 in prep fees. Our NAV-equipped tester added another $2,000 to that figure, the same as for its autoshifted opposite number. Even at that level, this ultra Accord still makes a solid case for itself, regardless of whether your priority is high value or maximum driving fun. (www.honda.com)
