Excellent Initial Quality

I've had two weeks to scrutinize the car and it is extremely tight with no noticeable flaws in materals or contruction. The engine is a delight. With the manual transmission, it never feels underpowered. Too soon to tell what kind of mileage it will deliver. Best feature of all, the wonderfully comfortable front seats. I've owned many cars and never found more comfortable than these. (leather)

I love my Accord, it is comfortable and has the power I want. I felt safe on snowy roads, it is an easy driving car. I have a ittle problem with the feel of the brakes at times. I can't put my finger on it, maybe "spongy" is the best way to describe how they feel sometimes. I hope that this not a problem with the brakes. I am enjoying my Accord, both driving it and looking at it!

Fun to drive but poor NVH

Got this car for 4 years now with 96,000 KM in the odometer. During warranty period, need to send back to the service center to change the cock-up alarm system and steering system. Annoyed with loud engine noise, wind noise and tyre noise. Also the suspension system is rather too firm for my liking. Road undulations, tyre and outside noise creep into the cabin. The overall NVH left much to be desired. Engine noise is so annoying that I have to add fuel additive to reduce noise. It helps, believe me. No qualm on the handling aspect. The fun factor somewhat offset the poor NVH and refinement, I guess.

My '05 Accord turned over 10,000 miles this week & I'm still very happy with my investment. This is my 3rd Honda purchase, 1st Accord. The reliability I've experienced from my Honda's keeps me coming back & loyalty with the dealer keeps me getting a good deal. Since 1977 my family has owned a combined total of 7 Hondas with my latest purchase - I drove 5 of them. Honda was my first car & though I've tried others, I know it's the best value! I did a lot of research and drove a number of other vehicles, but I knew that I'd be getting the best for my money from another Honda. Going from a 5 speed to an automatic worried me, but I'm totally satisfied with the performance. GO FOR IT! REALLY

Quietist Honda Ever

I have never owned a quieter car, and I have had 15 of them in the last 25 years. It has plenty of power, gets 28 mpg in rush hour traffic, has room for my family, which includes two men over 6'3", and all the features I could ever want. It was the best $22,000 we could have spent.
