Overview & Reviews

Honda takes a bold leap for 2005 with the introduction of the Hybrid Accord. Rather than add a hybrid motor to its four-cylinder, Honda bolts its third-generation IMA system to the Accord's already-potent V6. In one fell swoop the Accord hybrid has become the class leader in fuel economy (30 city, 38 highway) and power (255 horsepower). Other changes for the 2005 Honda Accord this year include new wheel cover designs for the LX and EX trims, a new coin pocket design, illuminated steering wheel controls and improved rear styling in sedans with redesigned taillamps. In addition, front-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags are now available on all trim levels all the way down to the base DX model.

  V6 6spd is lots of fun! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By dan421i - February 21 - 4:10 am

  The V6 Accord 6 speed is the best Honda ever! The power from this car just keeps pulling you back into your seat. The car is wonderful to drive and has a beautiful fit and finish both inside and out. I lack the ability to articulate just how much I really love this car!

  Better than hoped for or expected - 2005 Honda Accord
  By nytransplant - February 20 - 12:13 am

  Very comfortable around Phoenix but a true delight on the highway and up in the mountains. The indicators for the electric usage and optimum driving conditions work clearly. Roomy and quiet for long trips. Trunk space is adequate, even though the battery cuts down on available depth. No problems in the first 20,000 miles.

  By Walter Krauss - February 16 - 7:50 am

  What a joy to drive! Seats are comfortable, plenty of pep, excellent braking, very good gas mileage, and the car gets many comments for its looks.

  EX V-6 Auto - 2005 Honda Accord
  By ponypwr - January 28 - 8:00 am

  New purchase after looking at coupes and sedans from all the major players. This car really moves with the 240HP V- 6 and its a great compromise with performance, size and cost. With Accord clearance, I paid over a grand less than TMV price for coupe in Boston area. Just wish I could have found a V 6 MT at that price. All in all, a great car for the money.

  HAH After a Year - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Bill Ades - January 27 - 10:20 pm

  I love this car! It provides performance without guilt. Great mileage is available and the car tells you how youre doing so that you can adjust your driving style for max. mileage. At the same time, real power and acceleration is available any time you need it. It is comfortable and responsive. I have owned it for almost a year and have encountered no manufacturing problems and have enjoyed every minute Ive spent driving it. I drive 20 miles each way to work every day, half town miles and half interstate miles and average 30 mpg on those trips. Overall average is consistently 26 to 27 mpg -- 25 per cent better than my 95 Accord Wagon (170,000 miles and still going!).

  My first Honda.......very impressive - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Razormet - January 27 - 5:33 pm

  I was surprised at the price of the vehicle for all the features it has. I thought for a car like this, I was going to pay $30K. Ive always heard about the quality of the car from my friends that own Hondas. I had to go out and buy one for myself to find out. Ive owned it for two weeks and I simply love the car. Driving it is so much fun. Its smooth on the road and quiet. Gas mileage is better than I expected. The interior is roomier than I expected. Overall, this car has exceeded my expectations. Its no wonder there are so many of them out on the road. The resale value is better than most cars out on the market.

  Trying to bond with my Hybrid Accord - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Sarita226 - January 23 - 5:43 am

  I own the Accord hybrid with navigation system because I have no sense of direction. There are a few turns left to be desired with the Navi, but thats not an auto flaw. This is a terrific car, but I have not yet bonded with it, 17 months later, and I dont know why. If I could figure out what other car Id prefer, Id sell this one and buy that one. I often forget to lock the car, not yet accustomed to the electic locks and key

  AWESOME CAR! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Whitney Robinson - January 16 - 5:03 am

  It is the smoothest ride! We have owned Hondas for years and this year I think they have just put the icing on the cake as far as a luxury car is concerned. The radio even sounds great! i cant wait to get in my car and go somewhere. Sometimes I just get in the car and drive with no destination in mind.

  Loooove IT! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Patunia - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I love my 2005 Honda Accord. I had the 2003 2 door Accord V-6 and then the 2004 door Accord V-6 and loved driving them all...The price is affordable for the standard features found on the EX- V6 and the quality of my Accords has been great!! With a few added extras (tinted windows etc) it is really a sharp car and is always fun to drive...
