Used 2003 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
2003 Honda Accord
FYI-- I paid $ 575 off sticker for my 4 cylinder, auto, LX. Most dealers are charging full sticker right now (and they're getting it), but if you do not have a trade and your a nice customer you can get a discount. I held off buying waiting for this model to come out. I'm glad I did. Nice upgrades, ABS standard and a ride more remiscenct of my 94 Honda, that i like so much.
Best Car I've Owned
I owned multiple Hondas, then after a brief (and painfully expensive) experience with a VW, I came back to Honda again with the 2003 Accord Coupe. I haven't been disappointed. 98k miles later and only routine maintenance. Still have original rear brakes/rotors. Front brakes and tires changed at 70k. Headlamps burned out at 60k, but they only cost about $30 each to replace so no big deal. Dash panel went out after warranty expiration (I saw others mention the same thing), but it was replaced free of charge without issues. While it may seem that everyone and their brother has one of these, it's hard to argue with top-notch quality, along with performance, reliability, and good looks.
Highly Reliable Honda Accord EX 4 Cyl
I love my 03 Honda Accord 2.4 cyl EX with leather. With 98,000 miles on it, this car continues to amaze me. The only non-standard repair involved the 6 CD changer/radio's electronic screen going blank and the dealer replaced the radio at no charge, even though it was out of warranty (this is a common problem I was told). My car averages 27+ MPG combined and on the highway, it easily exceeds 30 MPG. On my car, the maintenance items like the disc brakes have to replaced every 24,000 miles and the rotors roughly 50,000 miles. The tires on the back were the original tires until recently when I replaced all four tires. This time I'll rotate them, to get even wear.
Drove it, Bought it, Love it
This Accord just keeps on getting better. Smooth, quiet, and peppy 4 cyl engine. Leather seats are the best! You MUST splurge on the leather. Nimble handling, quick bite on breaks, feels the road. Price is great considering all the options. Just feels like a luxury car inside! Limited road noise and wind noise. This car is perfect if you have no illusions that it's a "sport sedan" like the editors on Edmunds. That's just marketing hype. The Accord is a flat-out great car at a great price.
I LIKE IT!!!
Roomy (even for someone 6'4"), comfortable, excellent acceleration. TCS is proving to be very useful with the V6 power. Handles well. Very enjoyable to drive.
