2000 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Good enough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
SRS Light has been on since 45000 miles on indicating Airbag related problem. Other forums refer to a problem with the seat belt sensors as the primary cause.
General comments?
Great performer. I redline this car almost on a daily basis. Hits 65 mph in 2nd gear and 97-100 in 3rd gear. There are days I drop it into 3rd while cruising at 75 mph just to hear the engine snarl. Acceleration is not great until you go past 4500 RPM, but from there to the engine cut-off point about 6500 RPM it keeps on going strong. I test drove the 2004 coupe with the 160HP 2.4 and that to my surprise felt significantly smoother and more powerful. I was not expecting to feel such a difference from 0.1 lt and 10hp difference. I am bored with it as I have owned it for 6 years, but it simply is not worth getting rid of. What else could I drive that offers so much value, utility, reliability and fun at such a low price. I am estimating it's worth about $11000 currently. Come to think of it Acura TSX (European Accord) with the 200HP 2.4 might be the cure.
