Used 2003 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
LX V-6, 5spd auto.
This is the best car I've ever had right from the start. It is powerful and agile and fun to drive. The build quality is near perfect. I'd recommend this car to anyone
Great car for the price
Bought mine brand new for $21,000 out the door and very satisfied with the overall car. At 125,000 miles now, this car is rock solid and I commute with it daily. Oil change every 5,000 miles. So far the only major problem was the driver- side automatic door lock mechanism failed at about 105,000 mi which cost me about $600 to fix but that's because I used to keep pressing the unlock button on my key fob to blink the lights as I walk to the car, haha.
Questioned Reliability
Bought this car new. The 8th Honda product in my family... 3 Acuras. Auto transmission failed at 76,000 miles. All scheduled maintenance has been performed. Car was out of warranty so took it to local transmission repair shop. Cost $2,200 for overhaul. Faulty torque converter was cause. My next car will be a Camry.
Excellence in Engineering
Absolutely light years ahead of the competition at the time in 2002/2003. Took the competition till now (mid 2006) to catch up.
My search is over
Within two years, I've owned a new Grand Am, a new Mustang(V-6), and in December bought a new Honda Accord 4 cyl. 5-speed manual w/leather. loved it soooo much i bumped up to the V-6 6- speed manual four days ago. had to have it. Honda makes an incredible car at a reasonable price that makes you feel as though you're riding in the lap of luxury and having fun at the same time. This is my dream car.
