2004 Honda Accord EX V6 review from North America
"Great design with lots of extra power; nice job Honda!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right rear strut squeaks over small bumps.
Passenger door rattles inside.
Moon roof rattles in the tilt position.
Now, the windshield is cracked.
General comments?
Overall, Honda made an awesome step up in 2003 with the addition of the 6-speed manual for the 240-hp V6 in the EX Cpe. I'm very impressed with the overall performance of the car. Looks fast, even sitting still. Great cruiser on the highway, peppy in town.
Sadly, I've had the 4 problems listed above, only owning the car for 5 months. The strut problem took 4 visits to the dealer to fix. I hope the windshield is coverend under warranty! I'm optimistic about the rattles needing only minor adjustment to fix, but we'll see. Other than those <minor> setbacks, I would fully recommend this car to anyone!
