2000 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I currently have approx. 45000 miles. Had oil leak on the trans. @ 22,000mi, plus had brake pads replaced at the same time. At 40000 miles. Just dropped off the car to dealer again because of the Trans. leak. Dealer said there are no leakage!!
Bunch of baloney!!
Basically I hate driving V6 hondas.
I do not like the way it brakes. (nose diving every time which make it hard to drive smoothly). Brakes need to replace frequently. Transmission just shifts horrible which make me feel: where does 200 hp came from?? To me, I feel that I'm paying the maitenence cost more frequenlty on Hondas than my old Ford.
Would not recommend /will not buy Hondas again. "Hondas Reliabilities come from frequent maintenances".
General comments?
Terrible Transmission for V6
Engine are placed too much to the front which create nose diving effect when brake (bad designed)
Horrible brakes
Boring looks
Noisy (need more insulation)
