2005 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Does everything; comfortable, good gas mileage and sporty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
V-tech sensor malfunctioned at 41,000. Car-max (where I purchased the vehicle) fixed it free of charge, and even towed it for free.
General comments?
This car can move. That 2.4 seems to always have power above 3000rpm, and with the 5-speed you can chirp the tires on the 1-2shift.
My dad bought this car with fuel economy and size in mind. This car can comfortably seat four (five is a stretch, not enough shoulder room). We drove to Tulsa in back in one day with four of us (my mom is the smallest at 5'8 140 and I'm the biggest at 6'4 210) with the cruise set on 82mph and we got 31mpg on the tank.
Only mod is a K&N drop in. Overall a good car, nicely built.
