Overview & Reviews

Few vehicles from overseas manufacturers have garnered as much respect in North America as the Honda Accord. It hasn't achieved this status by being glamorous, sexy or thrilling. Instead, Honda just seems to have its finger on the pulse of what Americans value most. Take an Accord for a spin and you'll find it to be comfortable, roomy, intelligently engineered and easy to drive. It's also backed by strong resale value and a solid reputation for reliability.

You'll find that certain competing sedans and coupes are quicker, more prestigious or simply less expensive than the Accord. What's special about the Honda Accord, though, is its completeness. It scores well across a broader range of categories than practically any family-friendly sedan or coupe on the market. When examined from this holistic standpoint, it's easy to see why the Accord has become an automotive icon and remains one of our editors' top recommendations.

  six W/ attitude - 2003 Honda Accord
  By DR D - February 18 - 2:00 am

  I have owned Hondas and american cars over my driving life. My american vehicles may get me 125,000 miles. My last Honda had 267,000 when I gave it to "the lad" who drove it for another 5,000 and traded it for a new one. The Accord six has plenty of pep and is sure to stay with the best of them. The ride is smooth and quiet. I only have 4,000 miles but so far so good. Built solid and fun to drive and ride.

  I want my Camry back! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By TxLilac - February 18 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my Camry (with 139,000 mi.) for the Honda. I regret it. Heres why: dealer installed tint shred, car delivered dirty - once cleaned, I found dings and scratches that took the dealership 3X to fix, lights have almost gone out 2X, wheel cover busted off while driving, power outlet went out once, two factory recalls, wrong size brake pads put on at factory caused jerking and are getting replaced, alternator shreaks and will be replaced when it worsens, motor mounts were not correct from factory and caused the whole car to shake and were replaced. It has been in the shop more than I have driven it. I want my Camry back!!!

  Workingmans Mercedes - 2003 Honda Accord
  By gvallance - February 18 - 2:00 am

  There is simply no finer build car on the road than a Honda. The engineering and craftmanship of a Honda are second to none. No other care is more dependable or more fun to drive than a Honda. It is amazing how far ahead of the competition that Honda is and will always be because when you drive one you know its built by people that care about comfort, value and safty. I personally will own no other car than a Honda no matter what kind of income I may have.

  Best Value on the Road! - 2003 Honda Accord
  By JC22 - February 18 - 2:00 am

  After test-driving everything from the Audi A4 to the Nissan Altima, I could not resist a Honda product. I sat down and crunched the numbers, and there wasnt one other vehicle that came close in comparison of the options, reliability and safety that I wanted in a car. I am a true Honda lover for life!

  Honda did it right - 2003 Honda Accord
  By facajam - February 18 - 2:00 am

  While the new design took some getting used to, I now think its beautiful - what I would describe as the Japanese/Euro look. With a strong power train and a VERY comfortable interior, this is a well-thought out and designed car. I havent bought a US model in 30 years (I drive plenty of them as rental cars). My wife and I have had several Toyotas, one Nissan and two Acuras. This Accord joins the list of excellent, solid, reliable cars produced by the Japanese Big 3.

  Best Honda I have ever owned. - 2008 Honda Accord
  By John of Columbus, NC - February 17 - 5:30 pm

  Have owned several Honda Accords before and the new design was really interesting. One test drive convinced us it was a superb car for us, I am 61" and it has lots of leg room. Traded in a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited that depreciated too fast for my comfort zone. The 2008 Accord EX-L with 190 hp 4 cyl is a powerful driving experience. It gave me 25.3 mpg on the 3rd tank of fuel over both city and highway driving. Leather seats are very comfortable. My car is silver with black leather. Exterior design is handsome and a decided change from previous years. Added color matching body side molding for extra protection from careless door openers. A really super vehicle.

  this car is great! has not had any major(or minor for that matter) problems. had the car since february 2003 and had only had to take it in for a hood cable. it gets good gas mileage and has good acceleration when you need it. going to and from school can be long at times, but the seats are confortable. this is a very reliable car and am looking forward to it getting me through college.
