2003 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Great car, low maintenance, lots of power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes had to be replaced three times between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. My mechanic advised me to check with the dealer and see if there were any recalls because he could not find anything wrong with it.
Tracking Control System light would come on at random. The guide said that it should come on when on a slippery surface, but mine would often come on when I was a t a complete stop and stay on until I turned the ignition off.
The car was in a head on collision with a suburban. The front and side air bags deployed and the car held up well considering what it hit. The only defect was that under the steering wheel all of the plastic broke and a piece of metal cut my knee badly. Seemed like a poor design. Other than that I walked away with minor scratches.
General comments?
This was a great car with lots of power. I loved driving it and always received lots of complements on it.
The car handled well and with the exception of the brakes, never required any repairs.
The cabin and seats were very comfortable. I had a coupe so there was very little room in the backseat.
