A Nice Reliable Car

2001 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I just took over my mom's Accord. Its a pretty nice car. The seats are reasonably comfortable and its got a decent sound system and good gas mileage. I feel very safe in this car, and I use it as my daily driver and commute car. Its pretty fun to drive, but I'm coming from driving a mini- van, so I don't suppose my vote means much in that area.

Favorite Features

Overall reliability. Nothing about this car stands out as awesome, but it doesn't have a single fault, either. I do like the 6 disc CD changer. The sound system is pretty nice too.

Suggested Improvements

None

Transmission problem

2001 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Initially I was very satisfied with the vehicle. The car had good acceleration for a 4 cylinder. The auto is comfortable in city or highway driving. The brake pads needed replacing prematurely. The factory Michelin tire provide good traction but wear prematurely. The transmission also failed and required $2500 to repair at 140000 miles. The transmission had shifting difficulties before this. If the transmission had not failed I would have rated this car much higher.

Favorite Features

Acceleration and fuel economy are my favorite features of this car.

Suggested Improvements

Redesign the transmission to extend the life. I think Honda has already done this. I would prefer tires with a harder rubber to extend the life without sacrificing traction too much. Change the angle on the AC vents so they can be directed toward the driver and passenger. Brakes should last longer.

Study, reliable car

Review

This is a sturdy, reliable car. Handles well and very zippy. It makes up in reliability and durability what it lacks in excitement. No mechanical or body problems, decent mileage (though I expected better than 28 mpg but my lead foot may have something to do with that). I fully expect it will go another 300,000 miles or so, although another driver will get that experience since I'll be trading it off soon. No fault of the car - it's just time for me to move on to something else. My overall experience with this car has been great - nothing bad to say.

Great car

Review

Purchased the EX V6 with dual front and side airbags, ABS and traction control because we wanted a safe car for our teenage drivers. Car runs exceptionally well - nearly as smooth as my 5 series BMW. Good mileage around town and on the road. Strong A/C (important since we live in FL).

Favorite Features

6 CD in dash changer, plenty of storage spaces. Fold down rear seat with pass through for long objects. Good quality leater seats, strong engine.

Suggested Improvements

Better quality exterior paint. We have a number of spots where the paint has faded. Maybe it is due to the harsh FL sun, but I have noticed quite a few other Accords with similar paint fade spots.

Good except the transmission

Review

The Accord is a fun to drive practical car. The transmission was always a little jumpy, but the longer we have had the car, the more severe the shifts to second (especially downshifting) have become. When the car is cold it is downright scary. I have had the car in to check out the transmission twice and the dealer says that that is normal for a Honda. I am considering a Acura next, but my reservation is the transmission. Love the cars, but Honda should really do something about the transmission. Recall???

Favorite Features

Ride has very nice balance of sport and bump absorption.

Suggested Improvements

A transmission which works properly. It ruins an otherwise nice car.

a superb automobile

2001 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

This car has performed flawlessly for all 67,000 miles. The only maintenance I have performed on it is factory suggested oil changes, tune ups, and a brake job. And at 67,000 miles this car has the ride of a new car!

Favorite Features

The accuracy of the cruise control The features of the locking system No radio antenna-crystal clear reception

Suggested Improvements

As I am getting older, and bigger, it would be nice to have more interior space. I average anywhere from 20 to 25 miles per gallon. It would be great to improve on that.

Very Solid Vehicle

2001 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I love my Accord. I have a big V-8 truck and this is a nice change from it. It has 130,000 mile on it and it starts, runs, performs like it has 50,000 miles on it. The only complaint that I have is a bit of a strange shifting, driver window glass seems loose, and a slightly squeaky driver's seat. Otherwise excellent! I would buy another one.

Favorite Features

Driving position, steering wheel design, gas mileage, handling, turning radius, front passenger comfort, moonroof.

Suggested Improvements

Work on when tranny shifts, more solid door glass/motors, and seat.
