2003 Honda Accord 2.4i executive review from UK and Ireland
"A high price for a below average car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Suspension has been replaced due to strange creaking sounds.
Air conditioning failed at 4000 miles and has smelt foul since it's replacement.
Air mass filters replaced.
Alarm is the bain of my neighbouhood.
Battery continually runs down.
Alloy wheels have corroded.
General comments?
The interior rattles to the point of being annoying.
It feels very light on the road and can be wind guided above certain speeds.
The looks which I thought good at the time of purchase are now starting to make the car look like an aging taxi.
The paint is of especially low quality, after going down the motorway a few times the bonnet appears to have been flayed, the rest of the simply looks tired even though it is professionally valeted each month.
My Vectra was better.
Next time I Will by something with real quality - something German.
