Great Car
Great driving car, smooth, super quiet, good power. 33 mpg on highway. Only thing I'd change is the instrumentation displays on the dashboard, can't read them when sun is shinning which can be dangerous when doors are ajar. etc.
after 175,000 miles
After 175,000 miles there have been some problems:- Auto dim review mirror died early on.- EGR system cost $300 to fix a valve that was later redesigned- Plenty of rattles behind dash & sunroof.- Nav computer needs further refinements.- HID light died. Major $$$ to fix- Alarm system goes off often when starting.On the plus side,- The car has not yet left me on the side of the road. Original sparkplugs and timing belt.
Over 100K miles and going for 200k!
I got is used in 2003 with 75K mis on it, now with almost 110k mis. Just put gas and drive, not much maintenance! Only changed A/C compressor at 100k mis. Acura and Honda owner for life!!!!!
thoughtful design, great value
I test drove several late-model used vehicles in this price range--Infinity I-30, Maxima, VW Passat, Mazda Millenia, Toyota Camry V6. The Acura had the best combination of sportiness, refinement, and solid feel. The equipment for the money is remarkable-- the Acura actually sold for less as a new vehicle than just about any of the others I tested, but it was a little higher as a used car (less depreciation) and worth it! I can't really describe the feeling of driving the car (my wife calls it "purposeful"), but I can say that after driving all these other vehicles the Acura stood out as the most desirable.
The Ride is Terrible
Sold an 04 Accord Lx and purchased a 99 Acura TL with 69,000 miles. The Acura ride is not as smooth as the Accord ride. I am attempting to re-purchase the 04 Accord.
