2003 Honda Accord EX-L review from North America
"Overall a disappointing experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine started burning oil at 115,000 km at the rate of 1L per 800-1000 km. The car had extended warranty, but the dealer refused to do anything. They kept running consumption test (and I paid for each top up of oil) until the warranty expired. Complained to Honda Canada who never got back to me with an explanation. Very, very disappointed.
General comments?
Overall, a great car in terms of room, comfort and technology.
Poor service and ridiculous maintenance labor fees robbed the good feeling I have for this car. Never buying a Honda again.
