2003 Honda Accord EX 3.0 Vtech

Summary:

Few issues, but I still love it

Faults:

CD Player stopped working, was not covered under warranty as my car has a rebuilt title. Found a replacement on ebay for 250 dollars. Dealer quoted over 2000 dollars for the part.

Brakes had 10% left when I bought it, needed replacement. Pre-mature wear is a known issue.

General Comments:

Quick acceleration.

Decent on gas when you don't drive with your foot pinned down.

Classy stylish looks, which I always get compliments on.

Good price, and strong resale value.

2003 Honda Accord LX V6

Summary:

Great car, low maintenance, lots of power

Faults:

Rear brakes had to be replaced three times between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. My mechanic advised me to check with the dealer and see if there were any recalls because he could not find anything wrong with it.

Tracking Control System light would come on at random. The guide said that it should come on when on a slippery surface, but mine would often come on when I was a t a complete stop and stay on until I turned the ignition off.

The car was in a head on collision with a suburban. The front and side air bags deployed and the car held up well considering what it hit. The only defect was that under the steering wheel all of the plastic broke and a piece of metal cut my knee badly. Seemed like a poor design. Other than that I walked away with minor scratches.

General Comments:

This was a great car with lots of power. I loved driving it and always received lots of complements on it.

The car handled well and with the exception of the brakes, never required any repairs.

The cabin and seats were very comfortable. I had a coupe so there was very little room in the backseat.

2003 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder Model

Summary:

Great Car

Faults:

A sensor in the muffler for air intake went bad at about 45,000 miles. The arm rest between the seats has tended to wear fast.

General Comments:

I thought this car was excellent. It got on average about 32 mpg and was really reliable. The only reason I sold it was because it was a 2 door. Had great power for a 4 cylinder motor and was nice looking and comfortable.

Average

Occasional poor response time.
