What is the 2010 Honda Accord 0-60 time?

I just bought a used Honda Accord, and it feels like it has a hard time getting up to speed. How quickly should a 2010 Honda Accord be able to go from 0 to 60?

The Honda Accord is a great car to buy used, but it’s understandable if you’re a little worried about its performance. Typically, a 2010 Honda Accord can accelerate from 0 to 60 in 8.9 seconds. If that seems a little slow, that’s because of a few factors:
  • Body design—Slimmer cars will have an easier time accelerating because they have less air resistance to fight against. While the Accord is by no means bulky, it isn’t the sleekest car on the market.
  • **
    Gross weight
    **—Fast cars will often sacrifice comfort features to reduce their weight so that their engine can spend more of its power on acceleration. Since the Accord is meant to be a comfortable vehicle, it’s towing a lot of extra weight around.
  • Power—Cutting weight is only half of what makes a fast car. A precise balance of weight and power production allows cars to hit top speeds quickly. Unfortunately, the Accord is more focused on long-term performance than speed generation.
Hopefully, these points will give you an idea of whether or not your Accord is performing up to standard. Just be sure you mind the speed limit as you test your new car out—just one speeding ticket can have long-term effects on your car insurance rates.
