Faults:

The silver paint has peeled from both the front and rear bumpers. We suspected the rear bumper when a stock boy slid a 25 pound cardboard box into the car and peeled off some of the paint. The front bumper problem became obvious after going through a car wash. The dealer has repainted the front bumper, but refused to repaint (under warranty) the rear bumper because they claimed it was caused by customer abuse. The last trip through the car wash has taken another chunk of silver paint from the rear bumper, so we are waiting on word from the customer service rep.

We are now hearing that Honda may have had problems with silver paint in 2002.

General Comments:

We are very satisfied with the over all reliability, performance and economy of the car.

The stability seems to leave a little bit to be desired, but I am suspicious of the original tires. We had replaced the originals with snow tires for the winter and I believe the handling improved. We just swapped back and the stability problem seems to have returned.

Faults:

The battery was replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

This Honda is very refined. The drive train is so quiet that I can barely hear it running and changing shift points.

The double wishbone suspension holds the car well during cornering.

The standard traction control works well in the snowy Canadian winter.

The only complaint is the remote keyless control fob. I have to press and hold the trunk button for one or two second before it will release the lid. Have to check the manual on this.

Faults:

So far, nothing has gone wrong.

General Comments:

The Accord (coupe) was the perfect balance between a sports car, and a roomier sedan.

The V6 has good power, but from a complete stop, the pick-up is a little sluggish.

I think Honda needs to work on insulating the cabin more (perhaps they did this already in the 2003). It can be noisy at high speeds. I test drove the Camry Solara when deciding which to purchase and I thought the Solara was much quieter.

The leather seats and power driver seat make this car very comfortable.

The dials, and gauges are very easy to read and adjust.

I was in a fender bender, front bumper, and I did not, and have not, had any of the problems others have had with the paint peeling.

I have been more than happy with my Honda and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely try the V6 before purchasing.

Faults:

Nothing as of yet.

General Comments:

This car is a great "mom car" It is roomy enough for children in the back and is extremely efficient under most all circumstances.

The handeling is great, typical of most Honda's, Toyota's and Nissan's etc. and the gas mileage is superb, especially on the highway. The noise level of the cabin is not high even at very high speeds. The car does very well on long trips.

Faults:

Distributor Problems: 2900miles, 3700 miles, 4900miles, 6800 miles

Alternator Problem:10000 miles.

General Comments:

I've previously owed a Honda Accord and had no problems

I suspect this car is a lemon. Honda has been totally unresponsive and we are going to court.
