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.

  Superior economy car! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By cavemanf16 - July 2 - 7:23 pm

  I just purchased the brand-spankin new LX Special Edition Coupe model w/ standard transmission yesterday. It is a true pleasure to drive compared to my previous Honda Civic EX. I like it even better than my wifes 2003 1.8T Jetta despite the slightly less overall HP at my disposal. The interior has all the little tweaks to it that were missing or non-existent on my Civic, and I dont think Ill be longing for a different car when this lease is up. The Accord is an EXCELLENT car for the price, performance, features, and most importantly: impeccable quality.

  Great Value For Ride, Price & Size - 2005 Honda Accord
  By B. Condon - July 1 - 9:36 pm

  Paid $ 17988.00 including destination end of 05 yr. THANK YOU Edmunds for posting the $750.00 roll back to dealer! Gas mileage is kicking in now. Nice drive around town -handles 75mph highway with no problem. Brakes are rated good for disc/drum set/up as well as turns. Road noise does not bother me. All and all this car is almost a #10 for its class.

  30 mpg plus! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By George Z. - June 22 - 2:56 pm

  So far so good. I am getting 30 mpg plus, and the car is very fast. Very good pick up and handling. Looks great! Its hard to believe that it is a hybrid! It takes a little getting used to when the engine turns off when you have come to a complete stop, then turns on again when your foot comes off the brake.

  luxury and performance - 2005 Honda Accord
  By new car owner - June 18 - 10:33 pm

  I had a Honda prelude for 5 years before buying the v6 accord 6speed. I thought I would loose some handling capability but this car is better in every respect. Its faster, quieter, roomier, and has more luxury stuff like climate control and heated seats. I checked my mileage and Im getting 27-28 mpg-pretty good for a car that zips 0-60 in under 6 sec. All I can say is that I am totally satisfied with this car-I can zip around or drive across the country and have the best of both worlds.

  Left GM for this! - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Tony I. - June 16 - 5:06 am

  I hesitated in trading in my 2001 Impala LS instead of buying the 2005 LS since I was unwilling to part with the room and features of the Impala. The Accord provides ample room for my family, has all the features of the Impala LS except OnStar, (never used) driver information center, (mileage/fuel/compass) and automatic door locks. The Accords features are comparable or better than the VW Passat. And Accord has the V6 instead of the 1.8 4 cylinder like the Passat. The cost after negotiations on the Accord was much less than the price of the VW Passat. Plus, Honda Finance offers 1.9% finance out for 60 months (if you want that route) whereas VW would not.

  fun and power in one package - 2005 Honda Accord
  By street rod - May 6 - 3:30 am

  this vehicle is used as a daily driver and performs to every expectation i had for it. plenty of power when needed and a quiet comfortable ride when going for extended distances. could not expect more from a car- has also been extremely reliable.
