I just bought my 2005 EX 3 weeks ago. It met a number of important needs that other cars I looked at couldn't; fuel economy, backseat leg room, and a reasonable price. This is my second Honda Accord. Honda was discounting the cars below invoice which added to what I perceived as a good value. My only complaint, but it's a biggy, is the amount of road/tire and wind noise that makes its way to the cabin. The noise is most prevalent on highways with a high amount of aggregate -- unfortunately this accounts for most of my travel. I initially thought something was wrong with the vehicle but my dealership insists the noise is "normal".
Old accord great, New accord even better

Just bought the 2005 accord about 4 months ago. Previously had a 1993 accord that never had any major problems (Typical Honda). The honda is awesome. It has a lot more room and the ride quality is outstanding. Personally i would have perferred the V6, even though 2.4L has plenty of power.

Was hit in right front by driver passing light. Airbag (side and seat) deployed perfectly. No significant injury in hard hit. Happy to have the side airbags. Very user friendly and ergonomic controls, best I have ever had. Stiff ride, could be a bit lighter sprung for comfort, but may impede handling. Has a "big" feel, not a sporty small car feel. 5 speed is not smooth, and downshifts when braking are noticeable. Air comes on with a clunk when first put on. Brakes are feathery and needs a light touch, same with accelerator, but stops and goes well. Acceleration is very good with automatic, highway ride is smooth and sure footed.
Great, but not fantastic.

I really did like this car. I loved the styling, the luxury appointments, the smooth and responsive feel from the 4 cylinder, the roominess and the sensible layout of the dash. What I didn’t like was the gas mileage. No matter how easily or lightly I drove it, the mileage never got above 25 mpg on the highway. This is an engine known for its reliability (check), smooth and powerful performance (check), and longevity (check). My dad had a 2004 Honda Element with the exact same engine and it got the same mileage. My Accord should’ve been getting in the 30’s on the highway. I tried using higher grade fuel, got a fuel system cleaning, but nothing worked. I also thought the leather seats should’ve been a little softer. After a long trip, my tailbone would be hurting. I asked other Accord owners what they thought of theirs and they loved them. Like I said, my only gripes were firm seats and gas mileage. Other than that it was one of my favorite cars. I followed that one up with a 2006 Civic EX that was wonderful.

This car is simply amazing. Everything from the leather seats to the XM radio is wonderful. The performance from the 4 cyl. is more than adequate, no need to spend extra for the v6. A complete pleasure to own and drive.
