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.

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

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.

2004 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I just traded in my '96 Honda Accord EX on a '04 Honda Accord LX, and so far I love it. This model feels more substansial than my last one. I have owned a '00, a '96, and now an '04. Out of all 3 models, this is probably the best one I've had yet. I love the way it handles, the way it gives you a "command" view of the road. It sits a lot higher than my '96. I drive it to school and to work. But I plan on taking this one on a few trips to visit family. I love the center stack for the stereo and heating/ac controls. It really brings the car up into "luxury" model status. I also love the tilt, telescoping steering wheel. Haven't had it long, but so far, no complaints.
Favorite Features
Tilt, telescoping steering wheel, center stack for stereo and heat/ac controls, illuminating instrument cluster, driver-side seat height adjustment, exterior design, and the ride of course.
Suggested Improvements
I miss the moonroof on my old EX, but I knew I wouldn't get that on an LX. MP3 port and XM should have been offered on all model Accords way back in '03. Other than that, no complaints.

2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
Review
This has been the best automobile I have ever owned. It has an abundance of power and still gets great gas mileage. The engine is bullet proof, and I will replace this one with another.
Favorite Features
Fuel economy along with a powerful V6 engine.
Suggested Improvements
I would like to see memory seat adjustment.

2004 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
Review
Those of you reading this are probably looking at or considering a 2004 Accord. Mine was bought new (EX V6 with Navi) in March of 2004. I commute 120 miles each day, 5 days a week. I now have 105,000 miles on the car. This is easily the best and most reliable car I've owned (out of about 23 in the last 20 years). I consistently get 27-30 mpg with the V6. I change the oil regularly myself with Mobil 1 oil. If you can believe it, I have not has so much as a light bulb burn out in 105,000 miles. Zero problems. I had the timing belt and water pump replaced by Honda as I approached the 100k mile mark. Other than that and oil and air filter - nothing. I just love this car.
Favorite Features
Reliability is almost unbelievable. Comfortable. Navigation continues to work flawlessly, automatic A/C and heat is great and can be set on manual as well. Remote-opening windows for hot days is great too. I am 6'4", 230 lbs. and have plenty of room.
Suggested Improvements
Slightly plain looking outside but for me this is a non-issue as this is my daily commuter car and it works supremely well for that purpose.

2004 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I'm a proud owner of 2004 Honda Accord LX. To date I have put over 50,000 miles and havent had a single problem. I regularly do the maintance thats recommended and that's all. I love everything about the accord. The power, comfort, and gas mileage are awesome. The 4 cylinder although small has plenty of power and never lets me down. The only complaint I had with the car was the handling. Recently I purchased new tires 225 40 18 and the handling has greatly improved. I always knew that the small stock tires that the dealer provided was not enough rubber. Bottom line: great car!

2004 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
The Honda Accord has been an excellent choice for me. The quality is incredible. I can't imagine buying another American car after owning this one. The dealership has provided absolutely incredible service to me. They have gone out of their way to help with any issues I have had. Those issues have been: frozen door lock (from washing it with pressure wash I guess), most recently a problem with Navigation being erractic (they are currently working to resolve this one), possibly a DVD that may be working less than excellent. The only complaint I would have is the fact that the 4 cylinder engine is a bit light on the road and tends to ride a little bumpy & road noise is kind of loud.
Favorite Features
Navigation is the best feature of this car. Satelite radio is the second best thing.
Suggested Improvements
Make the interior a little quieter, somehow eliminate the run off of rain from the trunk lid to prevent it from entering the trunk when it is opened. Whenever the exterior of the trunk is wet & opened, the water gets into the trunk. Just a little, but it is sometimes annoying. (not a from a leak)

2004 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
We are the 2nd owner of this 4cyl Accord EX and after 48k miles we have zero mechanical problems. The only minor things I could complain about is an occasional rattling sound coming from the driver's side front door pillar, and a little cracking on the leather seats. Other than that, the car is flawless.
Favorite Features
We love the exterior styling, and the car handles great.
Suggested Improvements
The fuel economy could be better for a 4cyl sedan. We get about 24/31 mpg city/highway.
