Gas Mileage
In terms of gas mileage, the 2014 Honda Accord Sport does better than much of its competition, despite its sporty nature and more powerful engine.

Features
In today’s advancing technological society, most drivers expect certain features from their cars, and the 2014 Honda Accord Sport does not disappoint.

You can make hands-free calls using Bluetooth and easily keep an eye on the area behind your car with the rearview camera and video display. To help you get comfortable, you will also find dual-zone climate control, power seats with power lumbar in the driver’s seat, and cruise control to make driving even easier.
Engine and Power
The engine in the Accord Sport is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, and it also does slightly better than its competition. The Sport has 189 horsepower and 182 foot-pounds of torque, and both numbers are above average. When you throw in the weight to power ratio of 17.3 pounds per horsepower, however, you can see the true power of the Accord Sport as it is faster than most of the sedans within its class. This ratio allows the engine to rev up quickly and freely even if it was previously idle.
Roomy Interior
The Sport is similar to the other 2014 Honda Accord trims in that it offers a fairly roomy interior. While some dimensions, such as headroom, are around average for a midsize sedan, the Sport exceeds expectations in several measurements. You get slightly more shoulder room, hip room, and legroom with this sedan, which can make a huge difference in terms of comfort.
