5 cars to keep your New Year's resolutions

5 cars to ring in the new year right
Honda Accord Sedan LX
  • Honda Accord Sedan LX

  • Price: $21,680
  • Resolution: Drive stress-free on your commute
  • Gas mileage:
    • City - 27 mpg
    • Highway - 36 mpg

Nothing gets blood pressure boiling more than commuting to work on traffic-packed roads. Study after study links stress to the daily grind of driving back and forth to work, which is why you want a car that makes a stressful situation a little more enjoyable. Enter the Honda Accord.

Not only will getting 36 mpg on the highway relieve some of stress on your wallet, but this 2.4-liter four-cylinder sedan is full of features that will take the work out of driving and parking.

Take the Accord's optional Lane Departure Warning technology that utilizes a tiny camera, giving the driver an alert that he or she is making a lane departure without a turn signal in use. The Accord also comes equipped with an optional forward collision warning.

Its Eco Assist technology uses bars on both sides of the speedometer that change from white to green, depending on how efficiently you are driving. Keep the bars on green, and you'll get more miles from each fuel-up. The Accord's Econ button lets you adjust your fuel consumption for efficiency and easily switch back for increased performance.
