2003 Honda Accord EX V6 3.0 from North America
Summary:
Overall, great car with performance
Faults:
6 Pack CD changer was replaced under warranty twice. Dealer was good with giving me a loaner car while it was being fixed. The CD player kept spitting out my burnt CD's and still acts funny sometimes on longer trips.
Brakes went at 30 K. Dealer replaced front pads and rotors at no charge. Not typical for Honda brakes to go that quickly. Recently had the brakes done again at 75 K. This is a problem with every new car, I think.
Michelin tires were replaced at 80 K and I have Yokohoma VS4's now. It is night and day. Yokohama's are amazing.
General Comments:
Overall, the Accord V6 is a great car. I test drove Nissan Maxima, Altima, and BMW 325 and hated all three. The Accord provides a very quiet drive, and the cabin is very rich looking. I have the heated leather seats and it is very nice. Performance with the 6 is great on the highway, but not as great from start. Little sluggish. I feel very safe in this vehicle.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow, where do you live. My neighbor just totalled his Accord like yours and he got 18,000 dollars for his. Though we are dealing with an insurance company, I do not think you would have any better luck with Toyota. I have found them to be a little bit lower than Honda with resale value because they built many more. In my market area I found that Honda Accords cost more than the Camrys.
