"date": "8/28/2012",
"grade": "A",
"summary": "Honda's 2013 Accord is more than the sum of its parts -- smooth and comfortable yet never out of its element. Honda has once again hit its stride with a midsize sedan that does everything well and feels like something we'd be happy to drive every day for years.",
"ratings": [{
"title": "Performance",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8.5,
"summary": "Accord EX is among the best performing four-cylinder midsize sedans in dynamic tests. Fuel economy is on par for the segment.",
"subRatings": [{
"title": "Acceleration",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,
"summary": "CVT still feels weak off the line, but its 0-60 and quarter-mile performance is at the top of the segment (among 4-cyl models)."
}, {
"title": "Braking",
"grade": "C",
"score": 6.5,
"summary": "Customarily weak Honda brakes. No significant distance fade in our test, but an uninspiring pedal."
}, {
"title": "Steering",
"grade": "C",
"score": 7,
"summary": "Nothing special, but electric power steering offers adequate feel and feedback. "
}, {
"title": "Handling",
"grade": "A",
"score": 9,
"summary": "Substantially better than old Accord despite the loss of double wishbone suspension up front. "
}, {
"title": "Driveability",
"grade": "A",
"score": 9,
"summary": "Superb here. Mindlessly easy to drive. Not fun, but not offensive, either. A terrific midsize sedan."
}]
}, {
"title": "Comfort",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,
"summary": "As comfortable as it needs to be -- comparable to Camry SE, which offers real damping. Never sloppy or soft in its suspension movements or creature comforts.",
"subRatings": [{
"title": "Seating Comfort",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,
"summary": "Vastly improved over 2012 Accord, which had awkward lower back support."

}]
}, {
"title": "Interior",
"grade": "B",

"score": 7,
"summary": "Ingress and egress are never a problem in Accord."
}, {
"title": "Space/Room",
"grade": "A",

"summary": "Smaller outside but the same size inside -- an impressive engineering feat. "
}, {
"title": "Visibility",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,
"summary": "Above average for the class. A low waistline aids visibility from the rear seat."
}, {
"title": "Cargo/Storage",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,
"summary": "An additional .8 cubes in the trunk is awesome considering this Accord's shorter overall length."
}]
}, {
"title": "Value",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8.5,

"score": 8.5,
"summary": "A solid value. See above."
}, {
"title": "MPG",

"title": "Warranty",
"grade": "C",

}]
}, {
"title": "Fun To Drive",
"grade": "B",
"score": 8,

"subRatings": [{
"title": "Driving Experience",
"grade": "B",
"score": 7.5,
"summary": "CVT is rarely fun, but it gets the job done. The six-speed manual (base transmission) and the Sport package (optional) raise the bar for fun to drive. "
}, {
"title": "Personality",
"grade": "A",
"score": 9,
"summary": "More Honda personality than many Honda products in recent years. Solidly built with good materials, good visibility and a powertrain that's adequately powerful, miserly and utterly smooth."
