2005 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Doesn't get much better than this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pads are cracked, but dealer says this is normal. Interior rattles. Driver's side door seals, and trunk leak. Passenger seat was loose on delivery, dealer fixed it. Brakes make terrible squealing noise. Car does not stop straight. Car broke down once, due to low battery.
General comments?
I bought my 2005 Accord LX in October of 2004. It is white on tan. So far, aside from what I mentioned above, the car has been pretty good. Since it is a Honda, I know things will work out in the long run. I'm just glad I didn't buy a domestic. If Hondas are having the problems mine is, I don't even want to begin to imagine the kind of problems I'd be having with a domestic. Honda is still the gold standard along with Toyota as far as cars are concerned, and even though I've had some problems with it, I'm extremely happy overall with this car. The Honda cannot be beat, IMO.
