    3rd gen accord reviews

    Maybe everyone's seen these articles but I though they were interesting.

    Usually our cars are overlooked by the general automotive public but once in a while somebody recognizes the greatness:

    And it was recognized when they were new too, making it onto the Car and Driver 10Best list every year of production:

    To optimize the tradeoffs between ride and handling, there are control arms rather than struts at all four corners.

    What they are saying, is that the car doesn't use a MacPherson strut to locate the top of the spinlde, but instead a control arm. It's referring to the upper control arm in your double-wishbone setup. It was pretty new and unique in a road car back in it's day.
