2005 Honda Accord LX from North America - Comments

Nothing! This car has absolutely nothing wrong with it!

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!

Coming from a Mercury Tracer is a great improvement!

As good as the Accord is, it's far from perfect.My

2005 Accord V6 cpe is my 10th Honda & I've seen their quality suffer for the past 4 years. I thought it might just

be me, but their CSI numbers have been decreasing while their recall issues have been increasing. May have to switch

brand loyalty this year & try something new... until Honda

gets back to what got them to where they were.

Just bought a 1996 Accord today and found that it had 6 recalls since it was new--I also have two 99 Accords which have had 2 recalls... my neighbor has a 2002 Accord and he has not talked about any recalls of late. I do not see a major influx of recalls and I can say I am comfortable with buying Honda in the future... I mean Geese! I know so much about Honda engines it would seem stupid for me to dive into another manufacturer and have them try and steal money from me for service I do not need. At least with me Honda I know exactly what to replace and when and I drive these things to 250,000 miles I know what service is bogus and what is really required.
