Overview & Reviews

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.

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

  BEST car Ive ever owned - 2004 Honda Accord
  By abel - October 21 - 10:18 am

  I have driven them all. From mustangs to chryslers, chargers, rams, cherokees, etc...all v8s. I never knew of the 4 cylinder life and this honda made me realize how much money I was spending on gas! It runs great! I purchased it with 172k miles and it has no problems whatsoever now at its 200k miles and is pretty quick for a 2.4 engine. Love the woodgrain trim all around. My only complaint would be the vibration on stop lights. Other than that Im very pleased with this honda accord.

  My favorite car EVER, and Ive had quite a few - 2004 Honda Accord
  By Chris K - July 15 - 6:06 pm

  My first car was a 1981 Accord coupe. Later a Civic, then a Prelude, Another Accord Coupe (all were manual transmissions). This EX is an automatic. Luxurious, comfortable, fast with the V-6, and has only required normal maintenance aside from a power steering pump/hose (recall), starter, a couple of belts and tires. At 11-yrs-old and 96000 miles, it is still our chosen "road trip" car, although our other car is newer. Huge trunk, back seats that fold down, you cant beat it. I bought it at 3-yrs old from a friend and still just love driving it. Close to needing the brake pads and timing belt replaced, but so what! Drove a Saab for 3 years in the middle, and after all the breakdowns, sold it and went back to Honda.

  2004 Accord LX-4 cyl--- watch out for 100K - 2004 Honda Accord
  By lindavt08 - May 15 - 11:35 am

  First off, let me say I LOVE my car. I got it in 2005 with only 16K miles, and it has been babied ever since. I change the oil religiously at 3K, and its never had any real problems, as Im great on maintence. Then... we hit 100K in 2014, and it seems like out of no where, stuff just breaks. Again, I baby her, I dont think you could take better care of a car than I do. First, it was the breaks, okay, thats a reasonable thing, and then, my stero just goes completely blank I had to get a second one put in, which looks a little ghetto, but thats okay. Then, my battery dies, and I have to get a brand new one. I think the car is wonderful, but be ready at 100K!

  11 years and still Awesome! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By dossca - January 12 - 9:21 am

  I bought my Accord brand new, in November of 2003. I have always taken it to the dealership. I have had all of the problems that everyone else has. To date, I only have 72k on it. I have a work vehicle and dont drive to and from work. First was a recall on the transmission, then the radio went out, then just scheduled services. Then just recently, I have been having flickering headlights. Took it to the dealership, had it checked, bad battery(not it), then changed out the Alternator(not it), then read that the ELD goes up on 2003/2004 accords around 100k or ten years. After 2k of fixes it is brand new. Now just looking for the transmission to go up soon. Its all worth it, I love this car!

  The Honda Accord EX Vtec 6 cylinder with the 6 speed transmission makes you feel like your driving a higher end car! - 2004 Honda Accord
  By hondaonly1 - January 2 - 12:09 am

  Shopping for a used Honda for my son the first rule was that we were NOT getting an Automatic due to the fact that having worked for Honda Automotive for 20 plus years I knew that most people do NOT change the ATF like their supposed to causing problems way too soon. We got lucky & found the right car which was the 1st one we looked at, a 6 spd 6 cyl 2 door coupe black EX with leather and loaded. This car is amazing! It performs like a higher end car similar to a BMW. Car Fax was great with every possible thing & more done as far as maintenance goes along with no accidents or anything even close to being a problem. If you can get lucky and find this combo buy it! They are very hard to find.

  Fun to Drive, Expensive to repair - 2004 Honda Accord
  By carlover518 - December 9 - 10:35 pm

  Bought used last year with 225k on body, 151k on newer 2.4L k24A engine. Loved the reliability thusfar and have put on an additional 20k miles since buying. Considering the repairs needed they were needed due to the excessive miles already on the body, ended up going aftermarket due to OEM parts being extremely expensive. Now theres more problems and I just dont want to continue dumping money into it. But considering I live in Upstate NY and knowing the car is over 10 years old, it being 100% rust free is amazing. Switching back to Toyota though. Honda is reliable dont get me wrong. I just love Toyota a tiny bit more for Northeast winters, Rav4.

  2004 Honda Accord 4 cylinder vs. 6 cylinder EX V6 - 2004 Honda Accord
  By ababner - November 1 - 5:04 am

  Prior to purchasing our 2004 Honda Accord EX V6 I read Honda was an outstanding car with proven reliability a Quality built car. My personal experience has proven this to be untrue. Unfortunately there is a major difference between the 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder Honda Accord. The six cylinders are notorious for having transmission problems. We found this out the hard way with my wife breaking down with our three kids in the middle of the highway. I received a call at work engine racing but car not moving help call. Wife and kids abandoned the car and when I got there found the transmission failure.
