2003 Honda Accord EX-L review from North America
"Quality price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious so far.
I had to replace the intercooler (AC) at 90k --normally around 100k --
Fuse for the radio
At 80k, rust has started building near the wheel and it produce a tic tic sound when rolling even at very low speed. I have to bring it to the dealer to remove it (15min process) but I have to pay!
Leather is already cracking on the driver seat (twice a year, I have been putting moisturasure)
At 100k, I started to heard some cracking noise.
General comments?
Very smooth ; A 4cyl that act like a V6. The handling is just amazing and the ABS works perfectly.
The gas mileage on the highway is also amazing (really 34mpg at 110km/h)
The maintenance is very low.
I prefer my accord compare to my friend's BMW 525, Mercedes-Benz E320 and the V6 Camry.
The Jetta has only given me problem. I shouldn't sell my old accord (1990 coupe) for that car.
I would like to buy the new 2008 accord coupe or the new TL from acura.
