This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Tight build quality, quiet cabin, refined powertrains, comfortable driver seat, outstanding optional navigation system.
Cons:
  • Missing key features, relatively small trunk, mushy handling with V6.

  • Just want to keep driving - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    Love this car, this is the second Honda Accord I have owned, and this is byfar the best. Owned a Nissan Altima (new) for 8 months and hated it, had to trade for this car, would do it again in a heartbeat.

  • Trouble starting too! - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    As with another owner on this site, I too have problems with my Accord starting! The dealership has not been able to replicate the problem (therefore there is no problem to them!!) I too have had my window trim replaced, brakes squeal loudly, clear coat cracking, CD player/changer replaced...whats next!?!?

  • Poor reliability, worse dealer service - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    My first and last Honda Accord...Mine is loaded with the V-6 and has had trips to the dealer four times for brake problems. I have never ridden in a car with as many rattles and squeaks. I would file a lemon law but I want to sell and get out of the car. I also had AWFUL service at the dearlership and Honda did not seem to give a rip that their "crowned jewel" of reliability was having so many problems. Buy anything else.

  • simply awesome - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    This car is damn near perfect. Fast, Luxurious, reliable and efficient. The exterior styling is unique and appealing (a set of nice 18s really sets it off). The interior is ergonomic with very intuitive controls. The gearbox is very clean and precise, the clutch is silky smooth.

  • Accord V6 EX Coupe - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    A very nimble car that feels very stable and secure in its handling. Lots of acceleration from the V6. 5- speed automatic is smooth. Interior design and quality is outstanding. overall handling much better than most cars Ive driven. Visibility suffers from the high beltline. Windshield posts seem to be in the way of side visibility. The ride is choppy on uneven roads. Mine developed a dash rattle 1 day after delivery. 2 trips to the dealer fixed the problem 95% of the time, but its occasionally still there. Gas mileage is 27 overall, combined city and freeway, outstanding for a car of this performance.

  • GREAT CAR - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    I am really happy with my new Accord. Fortunately, I havent had any bad experiences. It seems like people are having issues with oil leaking problems, I will pay close attention to that. But overall the car is a DREAM. Highly recommended.

  • Another GREAT Honda! - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    Ive had numerous Hondas and recenetly traded in a 2002 SE for a 2003 4 cyl. EX 5 speed. WOW! What a difference! I know a dealer who stated he wouldnt need a V6 for a demo any longer because the 4 cyl has lots more power than last year. Ive never Honda not stand behind their product and Ive ALWAYS had great service from my dealerships in every city Ive lived in. Cant rave enough about how fun the 5 speed is in this car and how quickly it can accelerate! If you havent done it yet, go drive one. If you do, take the checkbook cause youll be bringing it home!

  • good for the money - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    so far its great, engine is great, enough power, its fun to drive, sound system is great for stock, I like integrated a/c controlls and the whole interior look. Negative sides - some rattles in the dash, headliner seems to be peeling of, looks like lack of quality control - will take it to the dealer. Also, handling would be better with different tires but overall its not bad. Too early to tell if theres anything else - 1200 miles.

  • VERY GOOD BUY!!!!!! - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is a very solid car for a very good price. You feel as though you are driving a more expensive car. The ride is very smooth and conroled and extremely quiet. The sound system is suprising very good and Honda ROCKS!!

  • Accord # 4 - 2003 Honda Accord
    By -

    This is my fourth Hond Accord. Ive been happy with the previous three Accords but this 2003 is a big step up in overall quality. Very quiet and a much better ride. How does Honda make a better car for the same money as a 2002? You need to pay close attention here Ford and GM.
