2000 Honda Accord ex review from North America
"Can do almost 200 kph"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front speakers sometimes give a cracking sound. The power window in the passenger side door malfunctioned. Cup holder cover hinges broke.
General comments?
The accord is beautiful from the outside. The interior is bland. This car is not a street racer. Only 150hp. The automatic can be terribly slow to downshift and at times when you are flooring it, it has a hard time getting out of the gear its in. Don't try racing anyone 0-60. Wait, till you are above 60, then race ANYONE. This car loves to be driven above 5000rpm. It really shines above 120kph or 75 mph. I've pushed this accord to approximately 193-195 kph on more than one occasion. The engine really starts to smell once you are there. This guy in a grand prix GTP tried to race me. He had me 0-120, but the accord left him SMOKED after 170kph. If only the accord had more low end torque, it would be the best all around car. ACCORD ROCKS.
