Best car I've ever owned

I got my Honda as a replacement for my 2003 Pontiac grand prix (which was a piece of crap). I bought my Honda with 167,000 miles on it and it currently has 219,000 on it. It has been a wonderful car and I cannot rave enough about it. I've only had to do minor maintenance on it and it's been worth every penny I've spent. Not only does it drive smooth and work great but it has character, it's not like driving a run of the mill mid-priced sedan, it's fun to drive and definitely has pep to it even with it being 13 years old. My next car is definitely going to be a Honda and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a car.

Bought this car new in 2005 for my wife as a gift since she liked the car. This mistake I made was purchasing black color with V6 instead of 4cyl. Wife drove the car for the first 12 years combination city hwy. Pro: 1) comfortable and I like the interior lay out very useful and well thought. 2) Like the driving position and how it handles on the road. You feel more engaged with the road driving a Honda in contrast to Toyota. 3) Has good power to overtake others on the fwy 4) handles well. Cons: 1) engine cylinder went out at 15821 camshaft piston rings and intake valve were defective dealer replaced. 2) passenger seat front leather and Back bench seat leather had to be replaced by dealer 20562. Dealer closer to home didnot want to change and manger said take it to the dealer you bought it from (Miller Honda in Cali.) the dealership closer to home was sold thrice before going out of business :-). 3) AC unit went out at 73863k 4) transmission rebuilt at 63769. Honda did not offer to rebuild Honda of America said we don’t have enough complaints on 2005 models but we do on 2004. Transmission rebuilt by a mechanic friend and now the car has 189698 miles and transmission is going out again. At least it lasted over 100k with rebuild transmission. 5) paint is a joke started to peel around 63k dealer said that is because of the hot so cal weather. 6) window actuator replaced twice once under warrant second outside warranty period. 7) Radio stopped working and cycles every present channel throughout the day. Finally I died at 179k (still cycles but no visuals on screen) 8) MPG 15 city 26 hwy. dealer said the advertised MPG is an estimate and will vary based on you driving method. To be off by 10 miles is ridiculous. Hwy I good. 9) No USP outfit to charge phone. 10) alternator replaced at 103179 11) throttle position sensor needs replacing as well as O2 sensor. Why I am writing this after 15 years later. I just sold it for 1350 so the car holds its value well even after all the issues. Disclosed everything to the buyer and he said he will work on it with his son so he can gain some experience working on cars. Bought a Lexus for my wife.

Handles well and picks up fast

I honestly love how the car is designed. It’s handled amazing and picks up when you give it some gas. The shift timing could be improved but getting the car up to 140mph was nice to see how far it can go.

Rubbish transmission and poor quality

Don’t believe all of the hype on Accord V6. Poor quality of paint as it scratches if you blow of it. Worse transmission I have ever had, out at 99000k on 80% fwy driving. Dealer put a new one that went out at 94000. Horrible in town gas mileage Lucky if you get 17. Cheap leather cracker within 2 years Radio stopped working at 140000. AC condenser out around 73000. Door actuator out around 100000. Engine valve out at 23000, radiator out at 80K, starter replaced twice. The only thing I like is the driving capability for a sedan. Recalls on 2003 and 2004 Transmission It Honda does not believe it affected 2005 and they are the same model from 2004. If you decide to purchase an Accord make sure it is not the V6.

My wife and I were seeking something to drive together (comfortably) on longer trips. After looking around a little we found the Accord. This car has been amazing. A nice, smooth and quiet ride in a reliable vehicle is what we were looking for and is what we got. We used to dread packing things into the old car in order to take a day trip. Now we look forward to it.
