2005 Honda Accord EX-L review from North America
"Feels like a luxury sedan without the luxury price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small rattle noise from front passenger window/door frame. Read an earlier review that mentions cleaning the top of the window out. Will have to try that because I am a freak about my cars.
General comments?
Owned an Odyssey and was VERY displeased with all the things that went wrong with it. I sure hope that was an Odyssey problem and not a Honda problem.
Very impressed with the EX as it has all the creature comforts with less price.
I also own a 1998 Lexus ES300 and this Honda has much of the same "luxury" qualities of the Lexus.
However, I wish the sunroof had an automatic button that, when depressed, would open the sunroof in one push of the button instead of having to hold the button down. Odd.
The front seats are somewhat "narrow". By narrow I mean that the large cushions on the sides of the back seem to push on my sides. I am not overweight so this seems odd.
