The only problem i have with my honda is occasional long ignitions.......... I have 500km on my odometer right now..... that is like 300 miles and i'm having this problem wtf. The brake also screech and sometime i feel its not even there! I had to brake HARD. There is a sound in the driver side door also, annoying as hell..... The car is also very hot because i use to drive a 1.6EL and i park it in the garage and i never feel the air in the garage hhot, but this accord you can feel the heat!
I'm back for a second round

I had my first accord for 13 years and put 220000 miles on it. I really wanted a different car this time. Determined that there would be another car out there that I would like as well or better, I test drove all the cars in that class ranging in price from $18,000-$32,000. When I finally tested an Accord, I knew I was getting another one. There wasn't a car I drove that had as much to offer for the price. The style is much different than my old Accord so I really don't feel like I have the same car again. This car has power, comfort, style and is nice to look at too. I highly recommend it.

This car was falling apart BEFORE I drove it off the lot. Lots of rattles that the dealer couldn't find. So they just packed it with grease and sent me on my way. A weel later, it's squeaking and popping again. I'm just holding onto it until I can get something better and believe me, anything would be better!

Must increase comfort on long drives. Long trips hard on back. Lumbar in seats is inadequate. If you are taller than 6 ft. front cabin leg room is too short. Unless corrected will be my last Honda

This is my 5th Honda. My previous vehicle was a Blazier. So you must understand after driving a small SUV for 4 years, I am extremely happy to be back in a car, and I am a Honda fan. I test drove the Camry, nice but not for me or my husband, the Altima, no contest, and the Mazda 6, which was cute, but lacked the quality. My husband, who was not a Honda fan, was sold as soon as we test drove the Accord. The smooth pickup, the handling, the comfort is excellent. I'm sure the more expensive luxury vechicles may be better, but for us in the $25,000 price range, the Honda Accord is great.
Not as impressive as my test drive

I'm 6'3" and cannot get comfortable in this car. Not enough headroom or legroom. Seats are extremely unsupportive of mid and upper back- constant back aches while driving. FUEL ECONOMY is HORRIBLE. No where near the 21/30 Honda says it gets (I've been averaging 17 on the highway!

This car is about the smoothest riding car you'll ever drive. Both my wife & I fight to take it every AM. The dashboard lights are cool. The "4" 160 horsepower, 161 pounds of torque motor has enough power for the mountains and passsing. The material that the seats are made of is just great. This car will take you for a ride.
I love my new Accord!

I've had my 2003 Accord nearly 7 years and it is by far the best family car I've ever owned (I've had many). I have *never* had a problem with it -- just regular maintenance. The design is a good balance of power, fuel economy, comfort. A little boring to drive compared to my sports coupe, but that's because it's a family sedan, no fault of its own

Wow a family car for the sports car fanatic. Don't know if honda's could get much better for the money. After owning many honda motorcycles i love their fit and finish. the accord is no different. The transmission is newly improved and is short short throw and slick as butter. my corolla steer feels Heavier! than this baby. The Z28 turns more heads but man what a mech. POS!the driving feel is light and the steering is crisp and tracks straight as an arrow. The car gets 28.5 on the freeway or so and is a big car.the seats really hold you in. Maybe a hair too much wind noise and the radio is no match for my Alpine

What a fantastic car...I had a 1990 Accord DX manual trans. for 5 years and decided to give American another try. After four different vehicles I have returned to the Accord. This time going for the top of the line; the EX V6 with leather. Every time I get in the car I am so impressed with it. Honda's tremendous attention to detail is second to none. Also, the amount of car you get for the money makes this car one of the best values on the road.

Got the dark Grey Accord EX V6. Great car. Much better than my older Volvo C70 coupe. Faster, tighter, and much more reliable. Get the car with the metalic interior. Much nicer than the fake wood.

This is my 3rd Accord and by far my favorite design. The exterior, for the most part, is very attractive. Honda's designers did an excellent job with the interior. I have always loved and trusted Honda's. Also, I thought my '95 Accord 5-Speed (slightly modified) was fast, but this one would eat it alive....though it's a snail compaired to the V-6 6M

This is our 5th Honda Auto, 4 Accords going back to 1979 and they've only gotten better. The gas mileage had continued to be very high despite the increase in accesories and weight of the auto. The last honda was a 1997 odyssey which just gave way for our 03 accord. The Mini van had 12100 miles on it and was as tight as the day we bought in november of 1996.

The 2003 Accord is the third in a row for us since 1987. It just keeps getting better! We almost never have a problem, including the 1991 that had over 100,000 miles when we upgraded late last year. And most amazing, we are getting better highway mileage now with a 240 HP V6 than we did with the old Honda 4 cylinder with half the HP. It is a very responsive, roomy and well built car that is always there when you need it. What more can you ask for?

I've owned BMW's, Volvos, Saabs, Camrey's and other Accords. This is the best yet. The quality is exceptional and the value is hard to believe. I traded a 2000 Camrey and couldn't believe the difference; and, the Camrey was a good car... I've had BMW 5 series and Audi A6 owners ask about and look over the Accord and when they heard the price they just walk away shaking their heads.

I was in the market for a fun sport coupe. I was set on the Infiniti G35 coupe. Fun car and I know I would not have been disappointed with it. However, the difference in price was about 14k. This car is a blast to drive with its 240 horses. There are only a couple of things I would have liked to have seen on the Accord...xenon lights and an option for 17" wheels.

This car looks terrific and accelerates very well for a four-cylinder. It also gets great mileage: on a recent trip, we got 37 miles to the gallon. The interior is roomy and the ride is smooth and quiet. In fact, we think it deserves Car & Driver's car of the year for 2003.

I researched extensively in this class (altima,camry,passat),owned 92 accord EX-absolutely no problems, liked the new accord for price and options etc. Great ride, powerful engine, smooth ride, joy to drive (passengers tell me very smooth too), nice and roomy, controls very easy to control, instrument panel is nice & easy to read as well. I am very happy and will love it for another 10 yrs. Highly recommed this vehicle!

I just bought a new 2003 Accord EX, A/T with leather. Wow! This is my 4th New Honda Accord. I thought that the previous ones were great but the 2003 surpasses them all. I am still discovering little gismos they have added. I also got a great deal on it paying $100 under factory invoice. Total out the door price was $23,751.34 The Accord's 4 cyl will outperform many of their competitor's 6's.

After much homework, it was a no brainer to buy this car. I've had my EX-V6 for 4 months now and it's powerful, comfortable, quiet and feels like I'm driving in my sisters Lexus. I spent a lot less than she did and got more car for the money. I test drove the Passat, Infinit G35, Lexus ES300 and none of them could give me what I got with my EX-V6 for the money. Like I said, it was a no brainer. Also, considering the gas prices in California, I love the fact that I can use regular fuel, not premium. And when I need to pass someone, watch out!!

I looked at and drove a BMW 330i, Audi A4, Infiniti G35, and VW Passant GLX. I looked at an Accord last only because I have been unsure of the exterior styling. The truth is that on an overall scale the Accord is 95% of the car of the BMW and Audi (except for the status label) but at 65% of the cost. At the fact that I only had one very small problem in 5.5 years with my old EX V6 and the Accord is unbeatable. Incidentally the ride quality is quite balanced and good and certainly not mushy - I have no idea what car Edmonds drove.

After 5 years of ownership car is excellent. Quality car. Fit and finish excellent. This is my 3rd Honda Accord. Great value. Average 18 to 19 mpg. city and 30 to 34 mpg. Highway. 4 cyl with plenty of pick up and go. Thinking of buying a 2008 Civic but I think I will stick with this beauty for a few more years.
Great deal on EX.....

I bought my EX the day after Thanksgiving(I got it for $200 under invoice). I bought the car for the reputation Honda has and for the fabulous new design.The car has great power for a four cylinder.The car is very sporty inside and out.It also falls in the catorgory of a stylish family car. I would recommend the purchase or lease of this vehicle.

For a good year now i was trying to decide what kind of coupe i wanted to buy. The main choices were the Nissan 350z and the Honda Accord Coupe. The choice was easy with the accord coupe seating 5 vs 2. and the unleaded regular vs premium. In the long run i think my choice of the Accord Coupe would of been a better decision. Quality, good design, and practical applications make all the difference.

The Accord is the best deal for the money. It is truly a luxury car at an affordable price. Honda reliability is what sold me and the safety. No other car in its class has the fuel economy,resale or world class looks. The Passat was sluggish and small inside. The Altima had cheap looking interior and the Camry drove like "your Father's Oldsmobile".

The Honda Accord provides luxury, quality and dependability that far exceeds the expectations for a car in this price range. I am in sales and use the navigation system daily. It is superb and seems to outperform the systems in more expensive cars. I purchased the car because it was one of the most economical cars offering a navigation system. I have been extremely satisfied with all aspects of the car.

Having several family members who own Honda Accords it has been my "dream" to have one of my own. The car has been all I expected and hoped for. It really handles well on the interstate and in town. I was pleased by the gas milage I got driving mostly in town the first week. It got 28 miles to the gallon and that is a big plus to me. I am still finding all the "little" extras it has to offer such as the seat being able to be adjusted up and down. All in all its a very pretty car and I highly recommend one to anyone in the market who is looking for a reliable car.

Just purchased this car to replace my '01 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I am a DRIVER. Tested many cars. Love the new styling and features for the price asked on the '03 Accord Coupe. I went for the 2.4L 4cyl. 5spd manual EX-L (leather) version. It has everything I wanted...well, almost everything...I added a rear spoiler and mudguards..and I can't wait. The drop in hp from my Eclipse (205) to the 160hp of the Accord is ok for me; it handles superbly.

Excellent car all around. Interior design cannot be beat, you must see it and experience it. Good handling, great acceleration, relatively quiet, well built. You will not be sorry, but compare it first with Camry V6, Passat, and Maxima.

We bought a 2003 V/6nav. to be our "work horse". We take one way 600 mile trips. The car performs very well, even over the CA "Grapevine". We drive in the fast lane and still get 26.0 - 27.5 mpg. Only problem, the hook for the driver sun visor broke. We love the car. We added a wide angle rear view mirror that helps for blind spots and a full front mask to prevent stone chips. The leather seems to suck up conditioner and dulls quickly.

Test drove an Altima, Camry and CR-V before buying the Accord. Beautiful interior, comfortable seats , nice solid feel to most controls. Very smooth ride-excellent transmission. The small increase in horsepower over the 2002 is very noticeable. There are some problems, tho- the wipers streak (interestingly, our 2000 Acura has the same apparently unfixable problem) and the console makes a poor substitute for the dedicated armrest that was available in earlier vintage Accords.
So far, so good

Black leather-nice; Heated seats- wonderful; dual-zone A/C controls- great; Stereo design and controls- great; Stereo sound-good; 4-cylinder gas mileage-best in class; 4-cylinder power-adequate and better than expected; Seat comfort-very good; Headroom-add .5 inch in front and 1 inch in back; Handling-very good though doesn't take potholes like my Q45; Brakes-feel good; Body style-it's growing on me; Warranty-inferior to competitors; Dealers (I visited three)- unimpressive. Overall, if this car ages well then it's likely the best combination of comfort, features, performance, room, and efficiency around. So far, so good.
