LOVE MY HONDA
I miss the power and attitude of my Mustang GT convertible, but it's nice to be able to use the A/C and the headlights at the same time. I'm 64 years old and 6'1" and the comfort is great. With only 2400 miles on it, the fuel economy isn't quite where I hope it will eventually be, but it nothing to complain about. I love the car.
My 1st. Honda!!!
I have only had this car for 300 miles. Very pleased with solid feel of vehicle. Love the expensive looking interior design. Pretty well thought out vehicle.
Honda Accord LX rating
I have had nothing but good experiences with this car it is my pride and joy I go everywhere in it
Best Accord Ever!
I just traded a 2001 3.2 CL for my new 2003 Accord. I had interior room issues with the CL, but the new Accord sedan has so much room. I've owned several Accords in the past, but this car is the best ever. Why would anyone want to buy an Acura TL when you get all the same amenities for less money. I have an Accord EX with leather and the 4 cylinder 160HP engine. This car has as much pep as my 6 cylinder 225HP Acura CL. I would advise you Aura owners to take a look at the new 2003 Accord.
My excellent Honda
wonderful car. Highly recommended
Honda, you ouy did yourself
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.
WISH I KEPT MY 2000 TOWN CAR
HAS ONLY 3500 MILES AND CABLE TO OPEN FUEL DOOR FAILED. HAD TO TAKE THE PANELS OUT OF THE TRUNCK TO GET TO REMOVE CABLE. ENGINEERS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO PUT AN EMERGENCY PULL CABLE IN TRUNK LIKE MOST OTHER CARS. BOUGHT THIS CAR TO HOPEFULLY GET BETTER MILEAGE. BEST I HAVE GOTTEN IS 19.8/MI/GAL. 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.
Honda Hits It Out Of The Park - Again
I could not be happier with my new Honda Accord V6. This car is a complete overhall of the Accord and one won't be disappointed with what they've accomplished. They've provided more horse power without sacrificing fuel economy. The new dash board layout is very functional and user freindly. The transmission shifts very smoothly. There is also more space in this Honda Accord than previous models. If you're interested in an Accord, I recommend checking it out....I bet you'll end up with it in your driveway.
MY FIFTH HONDA AND MY BEST!
IN THE YEAR I'VE DRIVEN THIS CAR, IT HAS NEVER CEASED TO AMAZE ME. I STILL SMILE WHEN I GET IN IT IN THE MORNING. I KNOW IT IS SECURE AND RELIABLE. I STEP ON THE GAS AND I AM SURE ABOUT PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT HESITATION. I AM SO AMAZED BY ITS SLEEK EXTERIOR AND COMFORTABLE INTERIOR IT STILL FEELS NEW AFTER A YEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO MANY YEARS OF SERVICE FROM THIS VEHICLE. I KNOW IT WILL CONTINUE TO PERFORM FAVORABLY. THANK YOU HONDA.
Best little secret in sedans
This 4 cyl LX is an amazing feat of engineering, economy (cost and fuel), and safety. Our test drives compared it to the Jetta Wagon, Mazda6, Forester, Camry, and Altima. The Accord was the clear winner in every consideration. Mazda6, Jetta, and Forester were close seconds, but were all at least $1K more. Perhaps I am biased (this is my 3rd Honda since 1989), but this car has been great.
so glad I have the V6 Accord
Awesome ride; interior is a gorgeous leather, comfy seats, great sound system. Did I mention the incredible pick-up power? Well, it's all that and then some. Folks who've taken a ride in the back seat usually marvel at the spacious room it has.
Review
Excellent car. Fantastic price. Drives like a dream. The Leather package does the trick.
Terrific Value
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.
Best Accord Ever?
This is the best Accord ever. The Exterior design is eye catching. It's so fun to drive. There's so many features.
always buy a honda
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.
A Balanced Auto
Have had LX nearly four months, or 8800 miles. Car is peppy for a 4-cyl, gives 33 or 34 mpg on Interstate trips, and even 29 mpg with Thule 11 cu.ft. roof pod. Has good luggage capacity and gives rear passengers suitable room-- get comments on that latter point! Nice driving position (especially w/drivers seat elevated way up), handles with excellent behavior.
My 6sp MT
Fun car to drive. Love the 6 speed MT. The only problem I had is the 180 watts stereo. It keeps making the static noice between tracks when playing CDs.
Best Honda I've Driven to date
This Accord is incredible!! The V6 engine picks up quick and rides smooth as silk
My First Impression, 2003 Accord
My car is brand new, however, it pulls to the right. I suspected the front end needed alignment. The reseller, however, stated that Honda is aware of a torque steer problem. I am anticipating a recall. Otherwise, this is a very impressive re-birth of the Accord!
Smooth comfort and power
The shifting is superb. The velour seats work nicely but the lack of a split in the fold-down is a continued annoyance. The dash is pretty gimmicky and the controls are quirky. The daytime dash looks like the lights are on and vice versa. The 4 cylinder MT has all the power I demand from it. The clutch is really fast and light.
Three words: Oh my God!
The beautifully styled EX V6 6-speed coupe provides top-notch safety, excellent performance and tremendous value. After considering competing models from Audi, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti and VW -- most of which were rated less safe and reliable than the Accord -- it was a pleasure and relief to find the Accord. The power and handling are impressive, yet the car remains quiet and luxurious. The fit and finish are flawless.
Very happy with this car after 18 months
After 29000 miles my Accord drives like new. I have not had one service problem. I love everything about it.
First Honda
Decided on the 2003 EX-6 after extensive comparison of Altima 3.5 and Maxima GLE. Altima maybe has a flashier look, but EX-6 beats it on handling and interior quality. Engine performance about the same. Plus ins. and walk out price lower for the Honda. I'm thinking resale will probably be higher too.
Great Purchase by RickyO
Great price for the accord, great interior features, solid built car, Realiable, fun to drive. Purchased accord over altima because you have to add packages to the altima, to get what the accord provides standard.
Great car
They did it right- great package, fun and easy to use the voice activated Navigation system is really cool, it has a "help" screen to help you learn the commands, lots of room in the cabin, love the duel heating
Honda Family
After waiting with anticipation for the new Accord to arrive I was not disappointed. Our last new accord was purchased in 1991 and currently has 195,000 miles and going strong. The new Honda has been elevated to a higher class car than in the past. Test drove the 160hp 4 cyl and found no need for the V6. Fell in love with the EX, Desert Mist with Leather. Added a wing and tinted the windows, SHARP !!! Son now drives the 91, Daughter drives a 97 Civic EX and now the new 2003. OK, OK so we're hooked on Hondas. Looking forward to many years of fun from this one. Go buy one, you'll get hooked too.
dealership sold me a lemon!!!!!!!!
the reason why I bought a 2003 Honda Accord was the fact I loved the exterior design and I thought since it was a Honda it would last me for a long time. at this rate, I don't think thats possible. the dealership sold me a lemon and whenever I call the service dept. they give me the 'run around'. one person working in the service dept. had the nerve to tell me a 'certain smell' was 'normal' for my car. which I know is false information. does Honda's employees seriously think whenever they hear a female voice on the other line they can give out b/s information?!
2003 honda accord a winner!
this car is great. I had worried about buying a first year model car, but everything is flawless.
Love My Honda!
Wonderful car! We own 2 Accords ('03 & ') and love both. Best cars on the road!
Best Overall Value Ever
I bought this car new as a year-end model in Jan 04 and it has been nothing short of amazing. Classy looks, decent performance, perfect interior design, exceptional MPG and flawless workmanship. I believe this is the most well rounded vehicle on the market...can do it all while making you look good to boot!
2003 Honda Accord EX v6 w.leather
I first began with a 2002 honda civic ex & yes i loved it.. But, when my son way on the way i needed a bigger car. so, i went to willis honda and got the 2003 honda accord ex, v6 with leather interior.. It is truly amazing! I love this car! It handles everything i need it for.. Very powerful 240HP.. 3.0 liter VTEC Technology.. I simply cannot ask for more.. I would live in this car is I didnt have a home.. It looks better in the 2 silver colors they can come in.. love my Honda Accord.. Honda Proved that you can get a powerful engine and still manage to get pretty good gas mileage, even on the V6...
Love My V6
I have had the car for two months and love it. I had a 1997 Accord LX and enjoyed it but wanted more. If I could take the 1997 and change what I did not like it is the 2003. The V6 is awesome!
Rattles in My Accord
My 2003 Accord has numerous interior rattles. One is from the front passenger door, one from the steering column and one from the driver's side seat belt assembly. I hate this.
1st time honda buyer
fantastic vehicle. very solid driving performance and handling, rivals BMW 3 series. Very impressive passing power. Trunk is on the small side, but more than adequate.
Great Car, Fun to Drive
Great car for driving anywhere. Good pick-up even with a full load. Would recommend this car for any family.
Test Big 3 (Accord, Camry, Altima)
My wife and I have test driven all three. Before the test drives we were set on the Camry. Now the Altima and Camry are not even blips on our radar. The 2003 Accord is far and away the best of the three. The performance, amenities, and look are all perfectly balanced. The Camry has reliability, but nothing else that stands up and grabs your attention. The Altima has power and looks, but the interior is weak. The Accord has perfected the balance of all three major features.
I LOVE my Honda!
For the price and the amount of car you get in the Honda, I think it's one of the best buys out there. It's fun to drive, safe, nice to look at and VERY roomy! Great trunk space, leg room and sporty enough for someone not looking to get a two door sports car!
Driving with confidence
I previously owned a 96 Passat. Once it reached 100k miles, it seemed that any little thing that could go wrong did except for the engine. I chose the 03 Accord over the Passat primarily for reliability. Of course, if it were not for the new body style I would have never considered the car. Ive had the car for almost two weeks and enjoying it very much.
The only Honda owner not in love w/ it
Bought it new, drove it 4oo miles and the power steering went out. Everyone tells me this NEVER happens in a new Honda. Well, it did. Sent the car abck to the dealership on aflatbed and had to rent a car for 4 days. This interior is not laid out well at all. At least not for me. I'm looking forward to 10 years from now, when the car dies and I can be the first person in history who doesn't buy a secong Honda.
Great new design, great new car
I purchased my new Accord in mid-sept. I had to wait a couple of weeks for the car to come in because the EX 4 cylinder in leather with 5 speed was not available at any local dealerships. It was worth the wait. The interior is well designed and beautiful. Fuctional, yet it feels like driving a Lexus.
My 2nd Accord
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 recently returned the 4-dr sedan and went into the NEW coupe; love it!! The handling is tight and great feeling. The style; Honda did an incredible thing!
JJ's Car
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.
"WINNAH!"
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
So far so good
I purchased my new Accord LX in 2003. I still average 35 MPH on the freeway. The only problems I have encountered were the gear shift knob ($20) and the brake light switch ($150). So far no transmission problems. Brakes still good.
Excellent Car!
Best Car on the Road! Very Fun to Drive!
Great Looking Car!
After 13 years and two Civics, I finally moved up to the luxurious Honda Accord Coupe, EX-V6 Graphite Pearl. What an excellent value for all that you get in this package. This is truly a quality crafted automobile.
Best car under $25,000
This is our 2nd Accord (we bought one in May 2003). The Accord has many standard features that are extra on Camry. Didn't consider the Maxima because of the premium fuel requirement. Didn't consider the Altima because of reviews of the "noisy" 4 cyclinder engine. The Altima V6 is the same as the Maxima V6, so it would requre premium gas so the Altima was out of the question. Toyota has ABS as extra?!?! You must be kidding. Interior design of Accord is much better than the Camry.
Great car
Honda finally got it 100% right for this market. Great value for your money. I paid $25,900 for my Accord w/ Navi. Interior is clean and functional, and very roomy. Great layout of dials and switches (except moonroof switches). Exterior is clean, and growing on me. I have not liked Accord styling in the past. This is truly an outstanding deal for the money, and easily outweighs buying a more prestigious brand like a BMW 3 series, or Infiniti G35, which is what I was originally interested in.
best car out there
I enjoy driving more than ever with this car! It has such a hot exterior look and the interior desigh tops it off. This car is a mixture of all the hott cars out there today, but has such an orginal look to it. I am so satisfied with my car, i 100% recommend it.
