2003 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Outstanding"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car had brake judder at 30K miles and the dealer replaced the rotors and pads free of charge.
Radio/Cd player was replace under warranty. Kept ejecting Cd's for some odd reason.
No other issues at all.
General comments?
This has been the best car that I have ever owned. I have driven a lot of other cars while on business, and nothing even comes close for fit and finish, economy, comfort, ease of use and fun to drive. I had a 2002 Civic Si H/B prior to this car and it was too small and the suspension was too firm. My kids were real mad that I traded the Si since it was a "cool" car, but they are real glad now that they can fit comfortably in this car. In my opinion, Honda builds the best engines in the world. If you look at the detail of the finish, plating..etc. of the components under the hood compared to my daughters Taurus, there is no comparison. You definitely get what you pay for and more with the Accord. I can't wait to see the new model next year, which will be a re-design. I will likely buy a 2008 Accord for my next car. I have also had a 1998 Accord and a 1993 Civic and 1988 Civic. Also had a 1986 Jetta, but will never make the mistake of buying a VW again.
