2000 Honda Accord Review
Summary
What Edmunds.com says
No question as to why the Accord is one of the top-selling cars in America. It's simply good.
Pros
Great build quality, spacious interior, peppy yet clean engines, comfortable seats, excellent resale value, reputation for bulletproof reliability.
Cons
Everybody drives one, personality of Al Gore, taut highway ride.
What's New for 2000
The four-cylinder engines now have a 100,000-mile no-tune-up service life. Side airbags are standard for all V6 models and EX four-cylinders with the leather interior. The feature-laden 2000 Honda Accord SE Sedan makes its debut this year. In the paint department, Nighthawk Black replaces Starlight Black, and Naples Gold Metallic replaces Heather Mist Metallic; Raisin and Currant have been dropped.

2000 Honda Accord 2 Dr EX V6 Coupe
Review
My 2000 Honda has been fun to drive and the maintenance which I has only been done by Honda for the entire life of the car, hence there is a record of all maintenance done on the car for anyone wishing to check it out. Clean and maintained properly. Really not sure that I will sell it but at the moment I am looking at doing so. All mileage has been on a local bases with the exception of trips to and from relocation areas. This is one of Honda's best cars done in 2000. Just recently got a letter from Honda on their Premier Program for 2000 Hondas. It appears that there is a great demand for this model year. Makes me think maybe I should keep the car.
Favorite Features
With a V6 the driving is very smooth and quiet. Acceleration is its highest attribute. Especially on the interstate where one doesn't realize how fast they may be going. Its fun to drive and really speaks for itself.
Suggested Improvements
The body is in good shape a few dings from irresponsible people who dinged the side. General overall wear is very good. Body style is what has impressed me as its the only year that Honda really did a great job on the body style. All others are not as good, including the 2008. Just look pictures

2000 Honda Accord 4 Dr SE Sedan
Review
I bought my Accord brand new in July 2000. I have put 158,000 trouble-free miles on it. I cannot say enough about this car. It recently suffered some pretty severe damage in a hail storm, so I am stuck driving a 2007 Chrysler Sebring while it is in the shop. I miss my car so much. My "old" Honda would absolutely kick the Chryslers! I will never buy anything but a Honda. It drives wonderfully, is reliable, and has proven to be a very safe car. Rear-ended by a Ford Mustang a couple years ago. Only a couple scrapes on the bumper, the Mustang did not fare as well. The only things I don't like are 1. the transmission hesitates to shift in stop-and-go traffic and 2. brakes could be better.
Favorite Features
Steering - perfect weighting, very smooth and precise. Reliability, of course. And, I personally think it is a beautiful car - simple, clean lines.
Suggested Improvements
Transmission programming. All Hondas seem to have a problem in stop-and-go traffic. The transmission does not shift from 2nd to 1st until you almost come to a complete stop. If you get back on the gas, it hesitates and then slams into gear. Trans. has lasted 158k though. Needs more powerful brakes.

2000 Honda Accord 2 Dr EX V6 Coupe
Review
Started driving this car with 11k on in in 2000. I now have 158k on it. Very comfortable and still a blast to drive. The V6 is quick and the handling is smooth. My sister has the 2003 and it does not compare. The suspension on this model is much smoother, rides like a luxury car. Have had previous Cadillac owners tell me it rides like a Caddy! The EX trim leaves nothing to be desired. I have had the transmission replaced after factory recall. Just replaced the 02 sensor. Other than an alternator replacement, no big issues with the reliability.
Favorite Features
Leather seats, quick V6 Vtech, smooth handling
Suggested Improvements
Seams on driver seat begin to rip at about 80k. Transmission issue sucks, but if you qualify, can get it replaced free @ dealer.
One of the greatest cars I've ever had!

2000 Honda Accord 4 Dr LX V6 Sedan
Review
We've had this car now for over five years. It's been (and still is) a fantastic car! The sound system sounds great, even after eight years. The V6 engine makes it incredibly fun to drive. The only major mechanical problem we've had with the car was that the transmission went out about two years ago. Apparently this has been a problem for this particular Accord model. Honda replaced the transmission for free because the car had less than 100,000 miles on it. The only other complaint we've had with the car was that the leather on the driver's seat started cracking about four years after we bought the car. Other than that, it still runs and looks great
Favorite Features
V6 engine, audio controls on the steering wheel, sunroof, sound system, comfort, power seat, trunk space, "Homelink" system, reliability, sporty look, remote trunk opener, easy to read gauges, high resell value, great gas mileage, and overall durability.
Suggested Improvements
Nothing really. The transmission going out was a big problem, but, as I said, Honda replaced it for free. The quality of leather could be improved to prevent wear and tear from the constant use of the driver's seat.

2000 Honda Accord 4 Dr SE Sedan
Review
This is my first Honda. Impressed w/reliability. Short of routine maintenance and replacing the timing belt, it's hassle-free. Drives the same as we bought it 5 years ago. I'm truly impressed w/Japanese cars, and would buy another again in the future. Low emission, and best value!
Favorite Features
Drive quality, handling and reliability.
Suggested Improvements
The A/C could be cooler. A moonroof would be nice in the SE trim. Nice seats, quality made, but a little too firm especially on long trips.
