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.

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.

I had to make a decision on either the accord or the acura TL. After reviewing everything the accord made more sense from an economical standpoint. It is a great car and fun to drive. It was the best move I have made.
This car for less than 20 grand?

Basically I considered four different cars: VW Passat, Nissian Altima, Subaru Legacy and the Accord. All are nice and if price didn’t matter I would have gotten the Passat on the feel and looks. But after driving the Accord a few weeks there is just nothing to complain about. It feels so solid and quiet. The exterior is rather conservative, but if your after drag strip looks then you are in the wrong class of cars altogether.
Just got it, but a great car!

I scrutinized the Toyota Camary LE and SE, the Nissan Altima 2.5S, and the Honda Accord LX and EX, and what I came up with was for the money, the Honda Accord beat all of the above mentioned vehicles, hands down.

0 of 0 people found this review helpful
If you are considering buying an Accord, be very careful about the alignment. Upon the test drive of my Accord, I noticed bad alignment pulling the car to the right. I was assured that an alignment could be done to correct it, but after 3 alignment it still is noticably off alignment. It still pulls to the right, and now the steering wheel is several degrees off when the car is going straight. It is a tremendously negative feeling to have purchased a brand new car and to have the dealer tell you that the car cannot be perfectly aligned. So make sure you can accept the alignment of your Accord before you buy it.
Best Car Ever!!

Before buying my EX V6 I took a look at all of the other mid size cars out there including the Acura's, BMW's, Toyota's Audi's, Merc's, GM's ,etc. This Honda V6 has the a better combination of power, comfort, build quality than them all. Its roomy, fast, and very comfortable.

I love my car but I had a friend get me front license plate made and I cannot put on the front of my car. I see that most of these Honda's do not have a place to put a front license tag.

Overall, a very reliable, comfortable, qick car that I recommend with out reservation. Seats are comfortable, climate control works well, design is progressive yet seperates itself from the old design. Adequate room for family of five. The increase in fuel mileage with an increase in speed is a welcome improvement compared to my 2001 suburban.
Woa, what a car!

Original owner, now 7+ years old with about 70,000 miles, overall very reliable, nothing beyond regular maintenance until this year though the brakes need replacement too frequently. I had the rear first done at 20,000. Excellent mileage - 34-35 consistently on the long freeway trips, 26-28 in town mixed driving. The car is very responsive and peppy. The ride is a bit harsh however, and there is way too much road noise for a car in this class. This is my first Honda and I've been told road noise is common. My car tends to drift to the left and dealers have been unable to fully fix it. Annoying but not a huge deal.

After looking at a variety of cars over the past several months, including Altima V-6, Mazda6, Subaru WRX I stumbled upon the Honda dealership who had a brand new Black Honda Accord EX V-6 6 speed on the lot. I was blown away as soon as a stepped into the drivers seat. The car was so luxurious compared to all the previously mentioned cars. When I pulled away from the dealership and put my foot into it I was rewarded with a European sports sedan growl. I was gone no longer than 10 minutes but I bought the car as soon as I returned.
Great car for the price

Like the othr review said it is a great car in it's price range. However, the car also pulls to the right because of the aligment problem. Generally, I enjoy the car.

I have had this car for a few weeks, and just love love it,we could not be more pleased, we had been looking at a C230 Merc, and for the money the Accord was the best car by far, The Dealer was outstanding, MILE HIGH HONDA in Denver CO. The MSRP was 26K, we reached a price at 24K, the salesman was great, the dealer has also called twice to see if we needed anything, a big change from my last car dealer (VW).
Very dissappointed!

I was excited about purchasing my new Accord. My daughter has a 12 year old Honda Civic that has been fantastic! I test drove the Accord and Camry and knew I couldn't go wrong with either, but the Accord was so much fun to drive! I am looking forward to years of reliability and enjoying my Accord.
Better than previous model.

Got the EX-L 3 wks ago. This car is more solid, rigid and fun to drive than previous model. The interior is well designed and detail oriented. Although Honda rarely compete itself against BMW or Benz, this car truly is sporty in term of handling. The 6 in 1 CD changer is a bit difficult to get used to. The center console cover is already starting to rattle, but overall this car is good. I prefer this car's handling over my just bought I35.

This car is really , i havent bought it yet bought i was just there for a test drive and it looks great, alot of features and very nice and smooth, get the LX-V6 instead of EX-V6 cause it is not worth the extra 2 grands for sunroof and few other things. You get the same power and comfort. I wish i get it as soon as possible.

The '03 Honda Accord EX-L Automatic is what you expect from Honda: safe, reliable, and equipped with many useful options. The 2.4L i-VTEC provides decent performance in the 4 cyl class, and is only slightly less powerful than the VW/Audi 1.8T motor. Automatic transmission performance is smooth, and fuel economy is excellent.
Very pleased after 7 years

Bought this Accord new in 2003. It has met or exceeded all my expectations. We now have 200,000 km on the car and have made 2 unscheduled visits to the dealership. When the car was new, the low-washer-fluid sensor did not work, or was not connected. At 135,000 km the HVAC/Radio display went out and was replaced, no hassles by a good-will warranty. It's hard to find fault with this car. Clutch still works like new, very reasonable gas mileage, reasonable 4- cyl torque and Hp (161 and 160). Maintenance costs have been low. I am a true car enthusiast and while this car is not overly exciting, it does everything it is expected to do and does it well.
Still love it

Have had our new Accord for 2 months now and LOVE it. It has plenty of pep and handles great. The interior leg room is wonderful. I wouldn't have bought anything else. It surprises me that some people have such big complaints, perhaps they should pay more attention before buying a car and test drive more than just one brand.

The handling and pickup of the redesigned Accord is great. Also that the new V6 gets the same MPGs as my 4 Cyl 2000 Accord is pretty amazing. My passengers say the read seating area seating is very comfortable for long drives. The number of built in features added to the car was impressiave. There were very few things to add to the car.

9 days after purchasing my brand new 2003 Black Accord EX V6 Sedan, a couple from Germany pulled out in front of me...totaling my beautiful car. Both of us believe this car saved our lives. The accident was a front end collision (at 45mph) and we both walked away with only a few injuries. It could have been worse... Afterall, I'm probably one of the first people to own two of the new body styles. And yes, I'm getting the same exact car, some would think that would be bad luck... I think this car was the best thing that I could have been driving in this situation. I would recomend this car to anyone, it's the sexiest sedan I've ever seen.

Upgraded to the 2003 Accord EX from my 2001 Civic LX. Have been a Honda fan for years, owned a 91 Accord that I put 240,000 miles on with no problems besides normal maintenance. Plan to do the same with this Accord. Don't know why some reviewers are complaining about cabin noise as mine is very quiet, no wind noise at all. Road feel is excellent and the 4 cyl. has more than enough power for normal driving. Drove a Camery and couldn't make the switch from Honda to Toyota, then checked out the Jetta, too euro. Accord is can't go wrong purchase.
Best car for low $20,s

Traded in a 95 Benz C280 and I'm still smiling. I shopped the Passat and thought about the Acura TL, but I couldn't shake the thought of the newly styled Accord. Am extremely happy with new EX-L 4 door, 4 cyl. Much less power than the Benz, but it is new and has full warranty and great reliability record plus the back seat is roomier and I have plenty of space for child safety seat, plus two more rear passengers if need be. If your thinking about getting this car, just do it, you shouldn't have any regrets.

This is my fourth Hond Accord. I've been happy with the previous three Accords but this 2003 is a big step up in overall quality. Very quiet and a much better ride. How does Honda make a better car for the same money as a 2002? You need to pay close attention here Ford and GM.

This is a wonderful automobile. The best I have ever owned. It's too bad that the "Big 3" can't build a car that's half as good as this Accord Coupe....with the exception of the Corvette perhaps. This car is so well balanced and thought out, I think it would be a mistake not to test drive one if you're in the market for a new car. (Where else can you have this much driving fun matched with practicallity and unmatched reliability for $18K? Also, the five speed 4 cylinder is probably the best way to go, since it's about three hundred pounds lighter than the V6.
Best Sedan for Your Money.

The cars runs very well and has the most features for the money. All the options are defined for a model which is nice. I choose it for the style but mostly because of the Navigation sytem. It greatly simplfies getting around. You do not get lost at night. I am thinking trading my Explorer for the Pilot because of the Navigation feature.

I never thought I would like the Honda Accord. My wife always wanted one. I was a Volvo lover and have owned three of them in the past, but after test driving the 2003 4 door Accord, that was it. I was convinced on getting rid of our 99 Volvo S80 for a new Honda. Purchased one at Honda of Mckinney and the people there are great. A+ in my book. Can't say enough about the car. It is truly a fun car to drive. Only problem we found was a piece of trim molding on the right hand threshold of the door frame popped up. Dealer said to bring it in and they will fix it. Good buy Volvo, Honda here to stay.

GOT 23 T0 25 ON MY LINCOLN TOWN CAR. HONDA IS TOO NOISY ON THE HIGHWAY - WIND & ROAD NOISE MAKES IT HARD TO HEAR RADIO. I AM TRYING TO TRADE IT FOR A 2003 LINCOLN RIGHT NOW.

I purchased an EXV6 coming out of an Audi A6 lease. I'm amazed at the quality, ease of control, general comfort and feature list. It is not the driver's car that the A6 is, nor does it pretend to compete at that level, but for $12,000 LESS than the Audi...? I am VERY happy with this car and won't miss the oh-so-familiar Audi service department one bit.

I just bought this car two days ago!! I can't believe how it drives. We feel very safe in the car. I am glad I bought it. We looked at the civic, but for only $48 more a month we got the accord. The interest rates are the best. At 2.9%, my payments were low and all I put down was $500. It is roomier than the last year's styles. We had a 93 accord for 8 years and it never failed. Go for it. Honda's don't die.

After my experience with my 1992 Honda Accord I knew my replacement had to be a new Accord. I have a 2003 Accord EX V6 coupe. It is fun to drive, I have gotten many positive comments from strangers at gas stations about the design of the car. The car is fun, it feels safe, reliable, it's a Honda. Average 28mpg average driving, as high as 31mpg all highway driving.
Love the NEW Design!

I LOVE THIS VEHICULE, but put more features to it and you will see the improvement on the sales. For a better Accord: Standard Fog Lights Day Lights, Standard V6 or more HP and TQ on the 4 Cyl; Make a V Spec engine if is not patented by Nissan, Entry System with Auto StartA Better Warranty....3yrs or 36,000 miles is not good enough for the quality of this car...Remember if you are sure of the Quality of this vehicule you should make a better Warranty on it.

Honda has done it again with their Accord line. For 2003 the new accord's comfort is unmatched for the price your getting it for. Having experience with a 2002 camry too, although the camry may Look better on the Outside, but never judge a car by its hood!, its whats under the hood and whats in the car(interior kicks A$$) and has more luxury features and more options to customize, the accord is more on the conserviative side and priced and built only with highest quality in mind, still manage to blance out with conserving and FUN to drive:-D
