“On MotorTrend's test route in Palos Verdes, the Honda shows me more of why it was the most in-demand car of its era. The clutch is light and the shifter remarkably precise, characteristics that would become a Honda trademark. The low beltline and compact size make for excellent visibility—there's no right-side mirror, but a glance over my shoulder tells me more than any side-view camera could. Forty years on, the cabin is mostly rattle- and squeak-free. But what really blows me away is the steering. It's all the more miraculous when you consider that the Accord was saddled with its own complicated lean-burn fuel system, called CVCC. The Accord's 1.6-liter CVCC engine is a stroked version of the Civic's 1.5, with a 12-valve head, ignition prechamber (yes, just like an old diesel), and a three-barrel progressive carburetor. It was an embarrassment to the domestics who whined about the costs of adding a catalytic converter—CVCC didn't need one. (Note: Honda engineers created a clean-running, notably fuel-efficient engine that met proposed 1975 U.S. Clean Air Act guidelines without requiring the complexity of fuel injection, an air-injection pump, or exhaust system catalytic converters. The CVCC-equipped engine had the added benefit of being able to run on regular leaded, low-lead, or unleaded gasoline.) The Accord's ride is firm over small bumps and soft over the big ones, and to drivers accustomed to domestic land barges, it felt like a European sportster minus the reliability problems. Climbing into the hilly curves, I start to push the Accord a little harder. The 155-cm-wide tires don't offer much grip, but the Accord is perfectly happy to run right up to the edge of its modest limits. It doesn't feel sloppy, and it never does anything unexpected—it just goes where you point it before giving in to gentle, slow-onset understeer. Like the engine, the chassis is happiest when you run it hard. At the top of the hill, I pause to give myself and the Honda a rest. Due diligences dictates that I take in all the thoughtful touches pioneered by Honda, things we taken for granted today but were novel to American drivers in the Carter era. The instrument panel shows a top-down view of the car with red lights that warn of open doors and trunk. Mechanical maintenance minders turn from green to red when it's time to change the oil and the filter and rotate the tires. There's a coin-holder, a very useful bit of kit for the toll-both-laden East Coast. (Said George Carlin in 1988, "You can't back out of your driveway in New Jersey without some schmuck in a hat wants 50 cents. ") There are demister vents that blow hot air at the corner of your side windows so you can see your mirrors. And just as MotorTrend in 1978 was awash in cigarette ads, the '78 Accord boasts ashtrays galore.”
