Used 2003 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
2003 honda accord ex
The brakes feels and sounds likes its grinding even after 5-10 minutes after you warm it up. The dealer ship technician says its normal but its way feels and sounds different compared to other cars especially its a 2003 car. and the dealership wanted me to pay $80.00 for them to check it out completely.
Extreme Gas Consumption
While I love the car, it is using more gas than an SUV, even though it is a 4 cylinder. It took a while to get Honda to believe me but they finally replaced the computer,catalytic converter and O2 sensor after 2 weeks of testing. But guess what, this didn't fix the problem so they shipped the car to their Toronto engineers for 5 weeks of testing. Surprise, the engineer says the car runs according to spec, Honda says tough luck. Curiously, the spec says 7 Litres/ 100 Km city and 9L highway, I calculate an average of 13L.For US readers this is more than a GM Suburban.

My Accord Stinks
Since buying my Accord in Oct 2002 I have had a terrible sulfur odor. It seems to be worse during the winter. The catalytic converter was replaced at just over 3000 miles. The dealership discounts the odor to California emissions since the car was made there. I had always heard how great Hondas were. I doubt that I would ever buy another Honda. I also have complained about my brakes. The car is going back in for the second time to have the brakes repaired.
Almost perfect
The 2.4 engine on my EX has very nice acceleration from the line, but I find it's lack of passing power a real drawback. At any speed above 45mph, there just isn't any go juce. I also find that it struggles with 4 adults. My biggest complaint is the rear bumper. It seems thin skinned. Someone backed into me and left a ugly crease in it. The damage was cause because of the supports under the bumper. More foam padding would have helped here. I also can feel engine vibration through the steering wheel at 1000-1200 RPM's. All in all, these are minor complaints. The car is excellent overall.
2003 accord EX
No real complaints. Every little thing that my last car lacked has been addressed: variable speed wipers, auto down AND up on the driver window, better cup holders. Acceleration is excellent, even with 4 cylinder 2.4 liter engine. Handling is good (both the Passat and the Altima drove tighter and quicker, with comparable 4 cylinder engines) but a little soft feeling. Cabin space is excellent in both front and rear for adult passengers. Seats are very comfortable and can be adjusted multiple ways for back comfort.
