Not as quiet as my '92. Lots of wind noise around front windows. Road/tire noise is more than my previous accords. Drivers door doesn't always want to close as easily as the other three. Automatic Transmision is 5 star. Engine has more power than my previous Accords. Dealership very concerned about customer satifaction.

Wonderful Slick Sedan

When driving the Accord's competitors including the Camry, I felt indifferent and no excitement. One test drive in the Accord and I grinned like a fool. The Accord is so smooooth in everything it does, great build quality, thoughtful with many nice touches. Manual transmission Accords are harder to find but much more satisfying to drive. Gas mileage is great for a car with this weight and power. You've got to try the slick shifter, very Miata/MR2-like!!! The exterior is a little peculiar at first but I've grown to like it! Consumer Report, Car & Driver and Road & Track magazines are right on the money. The Accord is the best!

Great Car

2003 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)

I have had my Honda for nearly eight years and have really enjoyed it. So far repair costs have totaled a mere $100 and that was at an out of town dealership on a Saturday afternoon! Very comfortable, precise handling, good visibility and the radio and HVAC controls are easy to use while driving. It is a little slow off the line but the mpg is outstanding. I regularly observe 34 mpg highway and even had one 38 mpg trip. The paint and interior have held up well and still look good. I feel confident that I'll enjoy driving this Accord for another eight years without any complaints.

2003 Honda Accord EX V-6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

This car has been okay but not nearly as great as many claim it to be. City mpg is about 14 with the V-6 engine with light throttle, 28 to 30 highway. Car has had transmission problems, electrical issues, and generally not that reliable. I also owned a 2001 Acura TL that nearly stranded me at 61,000 miles due to a faulty transmission. This will be my last Honda since the dealer is not sympathetic even with the extended warranty ("that is normal"). I do not recommend Madison Honda in Madison, NJ to fix any Honda - do not buy the extended warranty there.

I wouldn't buy the 2003 model

2003 Honda Accord EX V-6 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

I have had many problems with my Accord. Transmission slips without notice, electrical problems, a/c only blows 1 temp. The car seems to have a mind of its own so I wouldn't recommend the 2003 model since this is the 1st year of the new style. Check out the recalls on the 2003's, there are many! Always trouble. Get the 2005.
