Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Good Price, Build Quality. Cons: Rear styling, Warranty. The Bottom Line: The Accord DX is recommended for those looking for an economical family hauler.
I have never been overly fond of the last generation 4-cylinder powered Accord Sedans, they were somewhat underpowered, unrefined, and got fuel economy comparable to the herd of larger V6 powered family sedans on the market. For the '03 model year ...

Pros: Beautiful interior/exterior design, Road manners, Fit and finish, Value. Cons: Seats could use a bit more thigh bolstering, stingy warranty. The Bottom Line: The Accord EX V6 offers all the elements of a well balanced coupe.
It is amazing how much the Accord has improved over the years. Just 20 years ago the Accord Hatchback was a quasi family/economy car powered by a tiny 4-cylinder that only dreamed of one day coming equipped with leather and an optional 240 horsepower ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Refinement, power, economy, luxury, price Cons: Rear seat not quite up to others, handling could be sharper, huge speedometer, V6 auto-only The Bottom Line: Still not a sports sedan, but other than that an amazingly good car. And for significantly less money than Camry, Altima, or Passat.
For whatever reason, Honda alternates when designing each new generation of Accord. One generation will be conventional as can be, then the next will actually be worth looking at, then itll be back to conventional. After five years with an Accord ...

Pros: Power, economy, comfort, refinement Cons: Could be more fun to drive, wheel covers on the LX The Bottom Line: A good car for those people who prefer the appearance of a coupe but would otherwise be happy with a sedan.
Midsize coupes are a dying breed. Ford no longer offers one. GM offers only the Monte Carlo. Honda came late to this market, first offering a coupe version of the Accord in the late 1980s. Toyota entered it later still. Yet these two makers continue to ...

Pros: Sharp, classy, refined and luxurious PLUS performs to impress. LATCH safety
Cons: Needs a V6. Coupe V6 = Expensive, and NO MANUAL. High theft rate The Bottom Line: The revamped Accourd Coupe EX is one of the hottest new cars of 2003 for obvious reasons, but beware of price gouging and theft!
I can still remember when Honda introduced the newly redesigned Accord Coupe for the 1998 model year... Everyone awed by the cars sleekness...The prior Accords were already fairly sleek looking and drove well - but this was serious; The car was available...

Pros: Power, comfort, brakes are FANTASTIC, nice level of equipment for price. Cons: Poor reliability, poor quality, too many service visits. The Bottom Line: Great car if you can verify that the one you might buy has had the multitude of service fixes required.
Note: This review applies to the Accord Coupe with the V-6, Navigation, and 6-speed manual transmission. Since this is the only Honda Accord model (sedan or coupe) that is equipped with the sport-tuned suspension, your impression may vary if ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Great fuel economy; user-oriented and friendly; powertrain for acceleration Cons: Steering wheel controls The Bottom Line: Get behind the wheels of the well designed, redesigned Honda Accord and enjoy its safety, performance and reliability!
For all its 27 years, the Honda Accord line has not ceased to wow car enthusiasts and competitors. The American Honda Motor Co is not ready to cede their position of status to any other manufacturers either. Even when the Toyota and Passat engineers...

Pros: Great look, smooth ride, great gas mileage and luxury for cheaper. Cons: Water comes in the window really easily when the car is wet The Bottom Line: This is a great car. Great luxary for cheaper. Realiable, comfortable, great extras, smooth ride, excellent gas mileage, and looks hot!
So I finally graduated from college and got a real job. It was time to get rid of my ailing 1990 Buick Century, and I couldn't have been happier. I started my search for the perfect car for me and looked everywhere. But I just kept coming back to...

Pros: Very practical, roomy, reliable, and even fun family sedan. Cons: Once, just once I wish Honda would hit a homerun with styling. The Bottom Line: You can't go wrong with this car. I would highly recommend it.
I bought my 2003 Accord EX V6 in December of 2002. I am still very pleased with my choice. The car is roomy, refined, reliable, handles well, and accelerates very quickly. Look below for more details. Handling: Firm ride but not harsh. Compliant. ...

Pros: Excellent gas mileage for a V6 and lots of power. Cons: Rattles and buzzes, no cloth interior option with V6 and moonroof. The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this car due to the uncomfortable seats and numerous squeaks and rattles.
I purchased the 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 sedan in August of 2003. After driving strictly Honda and Acura products for over 20 years and being a rabid Honda fan, I feel let down by the quality of this new Accord. The 240 hp from the V6 engine is great; ...

Pros: Peppy 4cyl, fuel efficient, smooth transmission Cons: Uncomfortable in many ways, stereo not perfect The Bottom Line: Shop around and you'll be pleasantly surprised with it's competitors.
In history, the greatest warriors always fall in battle. The Honda Accord is one that has had a great run being one of the front runners in the midsized army and now it is time for its reign to end. No this car is not aweful by any means, but it ...

Pros: ride and handling, safety, price, interior, fuel economy, expected reliability and resale Cons: controversial exterior, only 3year/36 kmiles warranty The Bottom Line: reasonably priced, easy on gas, somewhat sporty and nimble, roomy, expected to be reliable and have excellent resale value
This review is based on a 2003 Accord LX auto that we purchased new in early March of 2003 from a dealer in the Twin Cities. 1. Options None. We specifically looked for a brand and model that did not need additional expensive options. Honda with ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Very nice dashboard display and 6-disc CD changer, good acceleration, smooth ride, good value. Cons: Doesn't hug corners, design could've been more sleek, mediocre brakes. The Bottom Line: The car is really smooth to ride with ample power to navigate through the hills of SF. Nice 6-CD Changer also.
Having just graduated from college and gotten a job, I needed a new car. With our family having owned two Honda Accords before (1990 and 2000 models), it was obvious to me which car to pick - the new Accord 2003. I know it's almost the end of ...

Pros: Powerful!, bold styling, great interior. Cons: First year problems: rattles, etc. The Bottom Line: I would reccomend this car to anybody looking for an affordable car that is capable of a little bit of everything: performance, and every day life.
--==This review is specifically of the v6 coupe==-- The first time I test drove the new Accord, I was impressed the second I sat down in the comfortable leather seats. The car I first drove was an EX automatic v6. I knew I didn't want the sedan, or ...
