Review

This is our 3rd Accord and I must say to date the best. Very peppy 4 Cyl. and very nice driving experience. Doing about 34 on ave. and 38 MPG to 39 MPG on trips. Honda for the most part still a great value!.

Favorite Features

Dash display & driving response. Dependability!

Review

Bought new in '04. Nice design, spacious interior, huge trunk capacity, nice look in and out. Decent pick up when merging onto highway. Good sound system, everything conveniently placed for the driver. Never had a problem with it!

Favorite Features

Moon roof, 6 disc CD changer, steering wheel mounted controls, good gas mileage (average 24 mpg mix city/hwy).

Suggested Improvements

None really. Maybe use a fabric that has less lint.

Review

Has the 5 speed automatic, which I could find on no other 2004 4-cylinder car. I'm 6' 4" and fit pretty well,find the seat comfortable and driver position good. A requirement was that I fit in the back seat, which I do, with no headroom problems (Camry failed this test). Handling is good with sport suspension and tires--twisty roads are fun. Brakes have great feel but are a tad weak,the antilock brake system works well. Engine is smooth and has zing. Tranny is uncanny, as is the cruise control. Interior is stylish and practical, heating and a/c work fine. A slight buzz developed after a bad Spokane pothole. Exterior is good- looking,somewhat stubby rear end--if you like gaudy, get a Pontiac.

Favorite Features

Engine, drivetrain, roominess, comfort, automatic dual zone climate control, great fuel economy, runs on regular, 6cd in dash good sound, taut handling while absorbing bumps fairly well, reasonably quiet interior, affordability--$21,000 new and they'll bury me in this thing, won't need to buy a casket!

Suggested Improvements

More powerful brakes. A little tighter attention to assembly, though overall the car was well put-together. To those who complain that you're just one of the accord-crowd, get a classic jaguar and you can enjoy quality alone-time with your repair manual.

My Accord Coupe

Written by: James on 05/23/2008

Vehicle

2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I've had my accord coupe for over four and a half years and I'm am happy with it so far. Other than a few rattles from the interior and my stereo needing to be replaced (which was covered by my extended warranty) it's working out great.

Favorite Features

Great power and handling, it never leaves me wanting for just a little bit more power to merge into that fast lane.

Suggested Improvements

Although I always have my ac on and I'm not scared to step on it, it could use better fuel economy. I'm only getting about 18 mpg in the city.

Great Car and Speedy

2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I purchased the V6 Coupe b/c I needed a car that was comfortable, fast, and reliable. It also has Nav which I love (I drive a lot b/c of job). The Nav is very easy to use and I like the touch screen for all other controls e.g. AC, Audio, Nav, Trip computer etc. The car drives well, corners ok, but it has a lot of pep in it. 0-60 just under 7sec, stock. Leather could be better, drivers side bolster is showing wear, but its covered under extended warranty so I will be getting it replaced. Service not expensive, tires not bad, less than $100 each. Console does not click closed properly, started after 16 months.

Favorite Features

Nav, Acceleration, Rear spoiler, XM, Audio is impressive, comfort. I am 6'6" I have to lean back to fit b/c of headroom, but plenty of leg room.

Suggested Improvements

More reliable console. Audio jack input for mp3. Better leather for front seats.

Amazing

2004 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I'm 16 years old, and my parents bought me this car because they knew Honda's would be reliable. I know I haven't had this car for long, but I have three older brothers, all of which were given an Accord, and I have two younger sisters who will also receive one. My dad has owned 6 Accords and we have never had one that wasn't reliable, and this one is no exception. It's great for a beginner driver because it's easy to drive. I feel safe in it, and it takes away a lot of fear in driving. The AC is fantastic, along with the radio sound quality. The 6 CD Changer is amazing as well :) I have no complaints about this car.

Favorite Features

The sun roof, and the AC. Georgia weather is hot, and I need air that comes out COLD. Also, this car gets FANTASTIC gas mileage, I can afford it on a part time job with gas at almost $4. 30 miles to the gallon on the interstate, 25-27 in the city.

Suggested Improvements

None whatsoever, great car for a new driver :)

Fantastic Vehicle!!

2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I've owned this car for about 6 months. It had 35,450 miles on it when i bought it. I now have 45,400 and still purrs like the day she rolled off the lot. Great gas mileage on trips, and surprisingly driving all around town gas mileage is exceptional for a V6. Tight build quality, some minor rattles but people must remember, Honda's are tight cars with a lot of hard plastic. With rough pavement its hard to be surprised. Turn the radio up and enjoy!!!

Favorite Features

XM radio, 240 HP, reliability, low ownership costs.

Suggested Improvements

xenon headlights, lighted steering wheel controls.

Review

I have now owned this vehicle since new- -4 years and 60,000 miles--still on the original tires. Best vehicle I have ever owned. No mechanical problems whatsoever. Plenty of room in the backseat for my two teenage boys when we travel. I am looking for another in a different color for my wife!

Favorite Features

Great build--fit and finish, leather interior, heated seats, very reliable, drives great, V-6 power and smooth transmission, great gas mileage (24/31), lots of interior room.

Suggested Improvements

A/C vents for the back seat pax, lighted controls on the steering wheel, move sunroof control to center, upgrade to an awesome audio system--like Bose, etc.

Best Car Ever Owned!

2004 Honda Accord LX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. It is so unbelievably quiet you can hear yourself whisper at 45 mph. The engine alone (V6) was worth it. It is very powerful and I have averaged about 24 mpg combined so far. Unbelievable car.
