Used 2004 Honda Accord Consumer Reviews
$40k car for $27k
Wow! Exceeds all expectations. Luxurious, moderately sporty, good fun level. Excellent fuel economy on reg.grade gas. No return to dealer needed in 14k miles.It feels like a 40 thousand dollar car and I paid 13k less than that.
Great Car...lacks features
Honda needs to add improvements before competitors catch up with all their standard features. An EX should have many features regardless if its EX EXL or EXV6. The V6 is way too pricey but when compared toa camry xle 4 cyl. (which has more useful features than the accord) the camry is a lot more less pricewise, but id have to admit. it sucks driving it. so kudos to honda for making a great machine that only sips fuel, but features are a little lackluster. Cmon they need those gassy support hydraulic hood things, those manual rods can get really dangerous...its an EX HONDA!!! it needs better thoguht to other details as well.
Great Ride
Great mix of handleing and comfort
Surprised at Honda!!
I have just had this Honda Accord for 6 weeks. I first noticed the dashboard got extremely hot when the air condition and cd/radio was on.I was told it is normal. It does not start at the first turn of the key at all tmes. Alarms have gone off 2 times. NO screen over the front to protect the condenser etc. Brakes pulsate at times.
Reliability?
I bought this car largely because of perceived perceptions on Honda's reliability. Just after 36,000 miles, my radio console lost power. I took it back to the dealership and fortunately Honda payed full cost for the repair because other Hondas were had the same problem. At 91,629 miles my transmission failed without warning. I called Honda corporate to complain, and was given a case no. Took it to the dealership and Honda agreed to pay for half the cost to replace the transmission which was $1725. Honda provided a new 3 year/36000 mile warranty. I am very glad Honda helped with these problems, but these are not problems I would expect from a Honda.
