This Year's Model Updates:

As the model was fully redesigned for the 2003 model year, there are only a few changes on the 2004 Honda Accord. Availability of side curtain airbags has been expanded this year to four-cylinder EX models -- standard on those with leather, optional on cars with a cloth interior. All four- and six-cylinder EX models equipped with a leather interior now have XM Satellite Radio with three months of free service as standard equipment. And as with all Honda cars this year, a new seatbelt reminder system is standard. Accord models meeting California's stringent Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) standards -- all four-cylinder sedans equipped with automatic transmission -- will also be sold in the states of New York, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts.

Pros:
  • Tight build quality, quiet cabin, refined and powerful engines, reputation for quality and durability, high crash test scores.
Cons:

  • Honda Accord: Think Twice b4 Buying - 2004 Honda Accord
    By -

    Honda makes a great drivetrain; engine and transmission always seem to work well together and prove to be reliable. However, Ive had continued electrical problems w/ the traction control & ABS. My Accord has 3000 miles on it and been in 5 times to be fixed, Im not convinced they know what the problem is. Honda is unwilling to replace my car with a new one, which is unacceptable. Im now a future Toyota owner.

    Great car overall, but lacks in pickup. Seems like the Civic has better pickup off the bat. Instrument panel is well designed and fun to use. Lot of extras.

    This is a fun car to drive if you like a 5 speed. Its very roomy inside but doesnt drive like a big car. I love it. The heated drivers seat in winter is a treat. Very reliable, quiet.

  • Awesome...upgraded from a 1988 honda - 2004 Honda Accord

    This car ia a dream. Navi is awesome and I never get lost anymore. Leather interior and very spacious! Handles like a dream, the same if not better than the audi and bmw that I test drove. Everyone who sees and rides in this car is impressed at the comfort, appearance, ride, navi system, voice activated functions, and style. This is a top of the line Honda with all the features you could want. For the price ($26,600)you get a fully loaded car. For a BMW at that price you get a steering wheel and 4 tires. BUY THIS CAR!! I am not really sure how it will handle in the snow but Im sure Ill be fine

    ONLY PROBLEM I COULD FIND, WAS THE INTERIOR CLOTH COLORS ARE "TOO LIGHT" ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG ONES IN THE FAMILY. TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IS A DREAM, THE OPEN HIGHWAY SAYS IT ALL. IT IS QUICK & RESPONSIVE. IM HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE.

  • Excellent value, but ho-hum feeling. - 2004 Honda Accord
    By -

    Everything about the 04 Accord Sedan works well as expected...so much so that it almost has no character. The engine is exceptionally quiet and it coasts at 70mph at a little over 2000 RPM. WOW! The front seats are good, but not great like those on the SAAB that I am so used to. There was wind noise at high speed. The speakers sound cheap and I found myself wishing for a replacements. That said the general day-to-day operation of this car is so ever effortlessly easy and that is its greatest virtue. I can live with this car knowing that it will be reliable and efficient, w/o being too boring, and that is exactly what I was looking for.

    Well this is my second Honda vehicle in the last year. I just purchased a 2003 Honda Element a year ago to the date when I purchased our new Accord EX-L with the navigation (for the wife, yeah right!). I love everything about this car. The stick shift is unbelievable, smooth as butter. It drives and handles like a champ. The inside comfort is second to none. And the navigation is absolutely awesome. Display nearest restaurants is my favorite option. You can not beat the value for the price. I paid a little over invoice and I do not regret it one bit. All I can say is Honda delivers some of the finest vehicles in the business.

  • Best Decision Ever! - 2004 Honda Accord

    Seriously..I looked at all the other cars...This one not only gave me the most for the money, but also gave me everything other cars that cost more money didnt even offer (ie, XM Radio Standard on EX-L)

  • Our Second 04 Accord - 2004 Honda Accord
    By -

    We were so impressed with my wifes 04 EXV6 sedan that I just bought an 04 EXV6 coupe with 6sp. and navigation. Although the car is fun to drive, a couple of surprises: 1)interior body integrity is lacking- major rattle coming from the dashboard, 2)the supposed "premium" audio system does not sound as punchy as my wifes sedan. Also, be ready for a harder ride thanks to the low profile 50 series tires and sport suspension.
