2005 Honda Accord
As with the Camry, what’s a top ten sedan list without the Honda Accord? Choose the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine rather than the 3.0-liter V6, and you’ll see up to 34-mpg on the highway. Inside, you’ll find 103 cubic feet of passenger volume. The DX sedan with manual transmission starts at about $16,500.

If you like the Accord but 34-mpg just doesn’t cut if for you, consider the 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid, which offers V6 performance with up to 37-mpg on the highway (Honda estimate). That extra power and fuel economy do come at a price, though - in this case, about $30,000.
