2005 Honda Accord LX review from North America
"Simply Superb!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! This car has absolutely nothing wrong with it!
General comments?
I have had many cars in my life and this one is utterly fantastic. The thing that first struck me is the safety features. It's rare (although up and coming) that a car have side, front and curtain airbags all come standard.
Secondly, it is VERY comfortable. The seats are very soft. The backseat has enough room for my 6'6" friend to sit in the back and feel comfortable. The sliding armrest/console in the front allows shorter drivers (like myself) to easily rest their arms while driving. The telescoping wheel allows me to maintain comfort while driving. Also, you can hardly feel the road beneath you and there is little road noise.
My gas mileage is fantastic. I average about 420 miles per tank with mostly city driving and I average around 500 highway miles. The tank on this sedan is over 17 gallons, which makes it a little costly to fill up, but it runs for weeks!
My experiences with the dealers have been fantastic so far, getting regular checkups. My 20,000 mile checkup was around $80 from the dealer.
I have had this car for over a year and would recommend it to anyone!
