Faults:

Very little has gone wrong with this car and what few things have gone wrong are very minor. The sunroof would not open a few months after I bought the car, but fortunately I had the extended warranty so the dealer fixed at no cost.

General Comments:

This is the second Accord I have owned and I am very impressed with these cars.

My old car was a 1987 Accord and it never let me down. I would still be driving it today if my husband didn't talk me into trading it in.

I do like this one a little better though because it is a lot roomier and has more power.

Faults:

Nothing major has gone wrong except 2 minor things which have been fixed.

The transmission had been hesitating in cold weather and also from 1st gear into second would thrust hard.

Rear tires seem to always be low in air pressure.

Brakes make a lot of squeaking.

Power window/lock motor blew out.

General Comments:

A very good engine with lots of power.

200 Horsepower makes the car extreemly fast on take off, be cautious when stepping on the pedal too hard which in which you may end up in the back seat!

The trunk is huge making lots of room for cargo.

The back seat is a little small, but what more would you want in a coupe.

The leather interior is luxurious.

The two exhaust pipes make the back of the car look agressive.

I find myself at the gas station filling up a lot though, but it is a V6.

Faults:

Alternator failed at approximately 70,000 miles. Problem with transmission at 90,000 miles covered under extended warranty, and may have been covered under a recall without the warranty.

My major complaint is the clear coat paint has failed beginning at about 90,000 miles and progressing rapidly. My color is Black Currant. I have not been successful is getting Honda to cover this even though I bought the extended Honda Care to 100,000 miles.

General Comments:

Maintenance at 105,000 miles was very expensive at approx $1800 (including replacing the timing belt). The fully automatic (6 way power) drivers seat does not have much room for adjustment. This quirk makes it very uncomfortable for a tall driver. The front passengers seat had a great deal of forward and back adjustment, which makes for a very roomy back seat. The car handles well and is a joy to drive. The CD player sometimes makes a high pitched whine that only goes away when the radio is shut completely off. Taking the CD out or switching to radio does not help.

Faults:

Paint defect on hood when new.

Emmission control problems times 4 at 20,000 miles.

Steering rack leak at 75,000 miles.

Power door locks & right side power windows stopped working - again.

General Comments:

Lots of road noise at highway speeds.

I should have bought the Camry.
