2002 Honda Accord EX review from North America
"Great all-around car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
The Accord (coupe) was the perfect balance between a sports car, and a roomier sedan.
The V6 has good power, but from a complete stop, the pick-up is a little sluggish.
I think Honda needs to work on insulating the cabin more (perhaps they did this already in the 2003). It can be noisy at high speeds. I test drove the Camry Solara when deciding which to purchase and I thought the Solara was much quieter.
The leather seats and power driver seat make this car very comfortable.
The dials, and gauges are very easy to read and adjust.
I was in a fender bender, front bumper, and I did not, and have not, had any of the problems others have had with the paint peeling.
I have been more than happy with my Honda and would recommend it to anyone. Definitely try the V6 before purchasing.
