Overview & Reviews

The Honda Accord -- one of America's favorite vehicles -- has been substantially changed for 2003. Continuing as a sedan and a coupe, the 2003 Honda Accord features more powerful and fuel-efficient engines, increased safety and higher levels of interior comfort. A voice-activated GPS navigation system is optional, and a sporty EX coupe debuts in early 2003.

• Tight build quality, quiet cabin, refined powertrains, comfortable driver seat, outstanding optional navigation system.

• Missing key features, relatively small trunk, mushy handling with V6.

  Love this car! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Judy - March 13 - 11:40 pm

  This is my second Accord Coupe..the first was a 1994 which ran quite well, just fell in love w/the design of the 2003 when I took my 80 year old aunt to purchase a Civic. Beautiful car, quick, even for a 4 cylinder. Only drawback, Im quite short and the side view mirrors obstruct my vision. Not so w/the 1994 Accord.

  Sweet Ride EX style - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Masterm1nd23 - March 9 - 11:00 pm

  Man where to begin with this wonderful car. I love the way this car looks and getting behind the wheel is even more exhilarating. The car is sporty but yet sophisticated. Getting on the highway is a real rush in this vehicle. I cant wait to get my K&N air filter which will give my beauty "Silver Surfette" approximately 260 horsepower. I would recommend this car to anyone who loves comfort and performance.

  6 year old car turning into a money sink - 2003 Honda Accord
  By cdonner - March 5 - 8:20 am

  Issues during the first 6 years included rapid brake wear, radio/AC backlight failure, ignition failure (6 ignition coil plus labor is a $1000 repair). The transmission never seemed to work right and I took the car in 2 weeks after we bought it (only to be ridiculed by the service transmission). It went in again for the transmission recall in 2004. The transmission fluid was changed at 111k miles in 2008 (well before the required 120k). Less then 6 months later the transmission went out. First gear only, no reverse. A faulty torque converter, the cause for the jerky shifts from 1st to 2nd gear that many experience, burned up the transmission.

  Love my 03 Accord - 2003 Honda Accord
  By HoosierTom - March 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive owned 5 Honda products since 1989 - 3 Accords and 2 TLs, and this one is pretty incredible. Less expensive, faster and quieter than my 99 TL, but much better equipped than any Accord Ive ever owned. But the best part is the way it performs on the snow (I live in the midwest). It goes better than the wifes Olds 88, and thats saying something.

  55,000 mile review - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Overall gret car! - March 1 - 8:49 pm

  The V6 has plenty of power and is fun to drive. There is problem with the transmission slipping that the dealers dont seem to be able to figure out. I have had the exterior window trim replaced 4 times since new and it needs to be done again. There are lot of interior squeaks that seem to be getting worse. The quality in finish work seems to be lacking. The metal and paint is very thin and chips/dings easy.

  Honda Quality - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Honda - February 27 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the car for 5 months and am having lots of issues. Breaks have been resurfaced twice. Steering column and rack have been replaced. Car steering wanders and is difficult to stabilize. Plus some other minor hassles. Honda and the dealer are very reluctant to resolve any issues. I have just filed car under "lemon" law and hopefully will get my money back. My advice. Look for something else. Honda is not the car it used to be. They are cutting corners on quality and customer service

  2DR EX-L V6 - 2003 Honda Accord
  By Gucci Boi - February 25 - 12:23 am

  I purchased the car used new with 60k miles. I love to drive it, its very fast, reliable, comfortable and stylish. Its a great value for the money. The only draw back is the CD unit after only 6 months of having the car @ 68k miles the CD player and circuit board went out. The Honda dealer replaced the circuit board for free, and i had to pay an outrageous $600 dollars for the CD player to be repaired.

  Used 03 EX I-4 115.5k miles - 2003 Honda Accord
  By scott M. - February 13 - 9:46 pm

  First Honda Ive ever owned. This was the first year of this model so it had two design problems. The front motor mount had to be replaced and corrected with a stabilizer bar and windshield wiper motor had a new cover put over it because of water corrosion. I just replaced my front brake pads after 60k got tired of the new pads sitting in the trunk. I found I get better highway gas mileage with 5-30w 25cty/30hwy oil then using the 5-20w 26cty/28hwy. The only parts replaced because of failure was an O2 sensor at 63k and A/C ON/OFF switch. I do change oil at 3.2k to 3.5k and transmission fluid once a year.

  Excellent Car, Great Value - 2003 Honda Accord
  By RMHonda - February 8 - 1:13 pm

  Bought new and has been a great value and still fun to drive. Efficient yet powerful enough to daily commute. Ive tracked every tank of gas for this car... averages 33 MPG with a 5 speed manual transmission. Replaced front brakes and original tires at about 72,000 miles. Still original rear brakes. Only two problems - catalytic converter and O2 sensor. No other problems. Overall, a great driving experience.
