2020 Honda Accord can be one sporty midsize sedan

Can a Honda Accord be fun? Yes, especially if you happen to find yourself behind the wheel of a 2.0T Sport model.

The Accord Sport models feature slight changes to the design and upgraded chassis components to improve handling. 

On the outside, the Accord Sport features 19-inch wheels with black-painted insets, a decklid spoiler and chrome exhaust outlets. 

For the exterior, it's jazzed up slightly with metal sport pedals.

While you can get the Accord Sport with a base 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, enthusiasts will want to spring for the 2.0-liter turbo I4 that's a derivative of the engine found in the Civic Type R. 

In the Accord Sport, the 2.0-liter engine makes 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.

Even more appealing to driving enthusiasts is that the Accord 2.0T Sport can be had with a six-speed manual transmission. 

To sharpen handling, the Accord Sport features stiffer springs, thicker antiroll bars and a quicker steering ratio.

The Accord 2.0T Sport with the manual transmission returns an EPA estimated 22 miles per gallon in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. 

The 2020 Honda Accord 2.0T Sport starts at around $32,000.
