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.

  great ride - 2005 Honda Accord
  By John from NJ - May 3 - 5:16 am

  I fell in love with this car when I test drove it. I compares favorable with a BMW 325 with a lot more for a much lower price. The NAV and the XM radio are really to fun and have a huge "Wow!" factor. Handling is nimble and theres all the power you could want. This is a fun car

  Fun to drive! Its very responsive. The handling is superb. For a coupe, it has a nice trunk space. If you worry about being generic, this is not one of them.

  3 Months with an Accord Hybrid - 2005 Honda Accord
  By JR - April 12 - 12:40 am

  After owning a 2001 Honda Accord V6, the thrill of owning the first ever Accord Hybrid was highly anticipated. This vehicle has met and actually exceeded our expectations for quality and just pure fun to drive. It has far more pep than other Accord models, handles remarkably well, rides extremely well and is just a pleasure to drive.

  Good, reliable transportation - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Jerry Seltzer - April 8 - 6:10 am

  I leased this 2 dr. EX and I am qute happy and pleased with the vehicle. I have just a couple of minor complaints, of no real importance but that could bear some design improvement. The windshield pillar on the drivers side I find is too wide or thick and inhibits visibility when making a left turn. Also, the drivers seat lacks sufficient adjustments (manual). Last but not least, the drivers seat belt does not retract correctly and I have to fish around to find it. The service man told me that the belt is up to manufacturers specs. I have to retract it manually to get it into the correct position to enable me to fasten it. Other than these the Honda EX Coupe ia a good vehicle.

  BEST 05 - 2005 Honda Accord
  By JC - March 6 - 4:13 am

  The 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 is a really wonderful vechicle. Not only is it beautiful, but it handles very well. I get compliments about my car every time Im driving. The gas mileage is good. I made a wise choice in purchasing my Accord and I dont have any regrets. I like the fact that the radio controls are on the steering wheel also, so its not a distraction while Im driving to change from radio stations to my C.D. music selections.

  2005 Accord EX - The Perfect Sedan- - 2005 Honda Accord
  By treihing - February 28 - 8:26 pm

  There is so much to say about my 2k5 Accord EX-L. The features I love are as follows: XM Satellite Radio, Dual Climate Control, 6-Disc In-Dash CD, Heated Seats, Great Quality Leather and Huge Trunk Space. Gas Milage is damn good at 24mph in the City - This is the mileage stated on the stick and the mileage I have seen. The overall drive and performance is incredible. The drive is as smooth as any luxury car if not better. Overall, this car is a steal at $22,100.00 - Stick is $25,015.00. There is room to negotiate so hit the dealer hard for a good price.

  Honda for Life - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Sooner In FL - February 21 - 4:30 am

  This is my first Honda and I love it! For a little 4 banger, it has some get up and go. The ride is smooth and the seating is comfortable. XM radio is nice to have and the sound from the radio is pretty good coming from stock equipment. Handling is very responsive, but I do feel a little knock when turning once in a while.

  New to Hybrids - 2005 Honda Accord
  By Richard - February 15 - 12:33 am

  This high end hybrid has met and exceeded my expectations so far. It did require me to change my driving habits to meet and exceed the EPA fuel economy ratings. I have learned to keep my eye on the average miles per gallon read out to adjust my foot on the pedal. So far after 90 days, I get 29+ around town and at least 37 on the highway.
