It’s rare these days for groups or publications to definitively name all around best cars. You’ll find lists of top sedans or top family cars, or even just ratings of how an individual vehicle stacks up. So when Car and Driver Magazine releases their annual list of the 10Best Cars in America, it’s pretty prestigious and very impressive.

It’s always rewarding to have a Honda that makes the list, because it affirms the high quality, reliability and performance we know Hondas to have. This year the 2016 Honda Accord was one of the 10 to make this list.

But Honda Accord hasn’t won a single 10 Best Cars Award, it’s won 30.

The prestigious annual list has a 32-year history, and the Honda Accord has been on it a record-setting 30 times.

"Do something special once, you might be called lucky. Do something special twice, you start to build some credibility. Do something special 30 times, like the 10Best Honda Accord, and you've accomplished something truly extraordinary," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division of American Honda Motor Co, Inc. "Earning a record thirty 10Best awards from Car and Driver demonstrates Accord's enduring values of advanced fuel efficiency, safety and fun-to- drive performance all built on a foundation of incredible quality and reliability."
