A Lemon

by okconsumer
May 14 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Look
Cons: Everything else
The Bottom Line: We made a promise to ourselves that we will never buy another Honda product, or an American car for that matter

We bought this car because of all the good thing people said about Honda, second worst product we ever bought (the worst is a refurbish cordless phone I got off the net).

Quality:

In the shop 4 times (check engine light) before it...

The four is a bore

by enaz
Dec 13 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 2.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Reliable, good mileage, cheap insurance, quality interior
Cons: Terrible acceleration, heavy car, seats could be better, body repairs are expensive
The Bottom Line: Fine for a daily driver. Very reliable. If you're looking for something special or a quick car; look elsewhere.

After owning a 1992 Honda Accord I was sold on the accord series. I was impressed by my Accord but left wanting more due to its poor interior and A/C (a major factor in Houston). However, I am not nearly as impressed by the new accord. It seems like the ...

A typical boring car.

by zhany2
Mar 28 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Cheap. Fuel efficient. Nice sun-roof.
Cons: Lethargic transmission. Anemic engine. Bland styling. No traction or stability control on four cylinder models.
The Bottom Line: This is the type of car that makes driving seem like a chore.

I went home to visit my parents, and they bought a new 2002 four cylinder Honda Accord. My parents love Japanese imports; fuel efficiency and blandness is definitely on their list of priorities. This Accord has automatic windows (thank goodness), auto...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: smooth ride, comfortable, handles well, equipment, powerful engine, good on the uptake.
Cons: expensive to repair and run.
The Bottom Line: go for it, but be warned. great car as long as nothing goes wrong. geared for the 'middle aged' market or business types.

Being a mechanic I have had experience with the Honda Accord. Yes they are a good car in many respects and Honda deserve recognition for their design and build qualities.
But, alas, i am not a lover of this car. To replace a headlamp will set you...

ACCORDING TO ME, THE 4 CYLINDER ACCORD IS ' A CORD' SHY OF COMPLETE

by shoplmart shoplmart is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Cars & Motorsports, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Jan 10 '02 - Updated Jun 12 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Luxurious interior, Good handling.
Cons: 4-cylinder engine, Plain exterior, Expensive options.
The Bottom Line: With Bland styling, almost below adequate power for a 3,000lb vehicle designed to haul around 5 adults, and V6-V8 fuel economy, I'd Pass on the 2002 Accord LX.

For many years, since 1977, the Honda Accord sedan has been sort of an 'upscale' Honda Civic. The Accord offered comfort, great gas mileage, reliability, and was very affordable. With that said, the Honda Accord attracted a huge fan base, so large...

Honda 2002 Accord Special Edition

by Lich
Feb 23 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: beautiful style, reliable, nice features that aren't fluff
Cons: weaker engine, easily chipped paint
The Bottom Line: It looks good and performance is above average. If you can avoid paying over $15,000, you got a great deal. The extras are nice with the Special Edition

I had just started a new job (I'm in Sales) and I need a car that would be reliable and something I could feel good about owning. My first new car was a 1994 Chevy Cavalier, which I never regretted buying because of both it's appearance and performance....

Going to Trade it ASAP

by tevlaw
Mar 13 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: It's a Honda. Reliable, safe, great resale value.
Cons: Boring, uncomfortable seating, ho-hum gas mileage, not enough power.
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. It's not comfortable for tall people. The safety is high, the price is slightly above the competition and the gas mileage is only average.

In this review you'll find my personal experiences. By now you've probably seen the statistics, so I won't bother repeating them.

I initially had a 2001 Ford Escape, but after a rollover I decided I needed something safer. The 2002 Honda...

The Sporty & Powerful Accord V6 Coupe

by spitz1
Jun 15 '04 - Updated Jun 22 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stylish, Powerful & Reliable Coupe
Cons: Some Quality Concerns, Could use some more Power
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend the Accord, or any Honda for that matter. I am aware that there are thousands of satisfied Honda customers to 1 dissatisfied customer.

Ever since the complete redesign in 1998, I knew I had to have one. The coupe was finally more than just the sedan with two less doors, it had it's own sporty personality. Sporty enough to steal sales away and kill off Honda's long running sports coupe, ...

2001 Honda Accord

by smile4uhun
Apr 22 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: The ride, reliability, stylish, comfortable.
Cons: Pricey, we had to put down $8,000 to get the payment where we wanted.
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend it, it's a bit pricey, so we put down a large downpayment ($8,000) to get payments under 300 a month at the special rate Honda offered

We bought our first Honda late last summer and WE LOVE IT! The ride is first rate, very comfortable & roomy. Haven't had a single thing wrong with it other than some rubber door molding come loose (inside the door) and a problem with our side air bags...

Solid car, just a little noisy

by psilon
Aug 29 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Solid, good finish, reliable
Cons: Noisy, road-noise.
The Bottom Line: I just wish it were as quiet as a $25k car should be. Other than that, I love the car!

The car is a solid. Not much to say except it is a nice, reliable Honda. Like most Accords, howeve ...

The 2002 Honda Accord Special Edition

by isong Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500
Apr 09 '02 - Updated Apr 16 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Solid car, nice fit/finish, ergonomic controls, great resale value
Cons: Ho-Hum styling, weak engine, thin paint, poor warranty
The Bottom Line: The Accord has always been well-built, reliable, and has always kept its resale value. The tradition continues...

If you look up the word 'unique' in the dictionary, you won't find it anywhere close to the Honda Accord. You won’t find it next to Toyota Camry, either. These two cars are probably, by far, the most popular models in its class. Both are known for...

Good price for the stuff

by rankia
Jan 31 '03 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Good price, reliability, security
Cons: High consume, acceleration
The Bottom Line: Good buy for price-conscious buyers looking for excellent reliability

I bought this car last April 2002. Previously I had an Honda Civic 1.6. I am quite happy with the car. It is reliable, secure (good brakes) and very functional. It has not special glamour but I was looking just for a family car.

What I do not...

No Wonder it's a "Car & Driver 10 Best"

by MASTERNC
Jan 12 '02 - Updated May 10 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Responsive & quiet engine, Rock-solid reliability, well-built interior
Cons: Uncomfortable seat, conservative styling, no manual transmission
The Bottom Line: Honda, as usual, seems to have perfected an award-winning formula for a car, but try a Nissan Altima as well. Who knows what 2003 will bring?

For as long as I can remember, I have driven Japanese imports, mainly Hondas and Toyotas. In fact, since 1983, I have owned 2 Honda Accords (I currently own a 1995), a Honda Odyssey (2000), and a Toyota Camry. Every one except the Odyssey (it's too...

Honda Accord 2002 - Special Edition

by infinityblue
Jul 16 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth ride, good sound system, just enough features
Cons: "power" definetly not there
The Bottom Line: It'll probably last forever if you give it even the minimal care.

I've had this car since right after Thanksgiving 2001. The car drives just like a Honda should. It's normally pretty smooth. The 'catch' when you excel is a little slow, though. I compared it with my friend's 2000 Accord EX 4cl. and my car's breaks...

As Boring as a Box of Bran Flakes

by nobody122
Jul 14 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: High resale value, durability, quality fit and finish, styling
Cons: Styling, power, price
The Bottom Line: A very solid car, but there are much better choices for $1-3k more.

Love it or hate it, the "new" 2002 Accord is basically the same model that has been on sale for a couple years, and is not much of a change from the 1994 Accord.

First, this car is unnoticeable...which has its good and bad points. If you are...
