Honda Accord

I've had 2 Accords before this one, both of them were 2002, and both were leagues better than this one. This car had rattles at 500 miles and has horrible performance even for a four cylinder. The car hesitates when accelerating. When paying 22k for a new car, it should be solid and not have any squeaks or rattles. I am very disappointed with this car. On top of all this, I get horrible gas mileage; in city driving I get 15-16 mpg. Apparently the car isn't broken in yet, but I know someone who has a new 4 cyl Accord which is past the break-in period, and he also gets around 17 mpg. I would NOT recommend this car to anyone. Go for the Camry; I test drove it, and it's much better than this car

Great Car

What can I say? It's a Honda. The American car builders should have been shadowing these guys 15 years ago. I've never felt so secure and safe in a relatively small car. I bought the V6 for the extra sprint power which makes the car safer, but knocks down the MPG to 24 or so.

So far, so good

Seems to be more roomier than a cambry, but not as sharp looking. Rides with comfort and motor will pick up if you need it. I purchased this vehicle with a lot of research comparing. We got 32 mpg on the highway the next day after we purchase it. It has enough room for me, my wife and my 18 year old son to go on a short trip. I am 6 foot, 225 lbs and I rode in the back seat some and had enough room. I hope I can get a few more mpg after the car breaks in some. The only for sure complaint I have is the seats seems to hurt my back after I drove for a period of time, this may be because I am use to my silverado truck with leather bucket seats. A big person may want to think of this when shopping.

For the price, this car is an outstanding value that wreaks high quality. The 190 hp I4 engine is powerful and smooth enough to enjoy, without sacrificing fuel mileage. The new styling is very upscale, and the interior layout is also impressive and spacious inside. My only reservations are the ivory cloth interior's durability (had to have taffeta white!), and the hvac/stereo plastic trim panel creaks like crazy when it's hot outside.

This is my second Honda (first Accord). I love it so far. The V-6 delivers plenty of power and is very smooth. The VCM feature is great, when I see the green ECO light pop up I know that I am saving gas. Great leg room in the back and the seats a very supportive.
