GENERAL COMMENTS
 
"Love this car. Sold my 2000 BMW 323 to get it. People say the 4 cyl is enough, and maybe for some it is. But traffic is aggressive where I live and the V6's power is very strong. I did drive the 4cyl, and it's really good, but the V6 is addictive. Stock Michelins are rough, so I changed to Goodyears 'Triple Tread' tires. I highly recommend them as these new tires made the car ride much better. I really like the XM radio, dual climate control and extremly comfortable seats. It would be nice if Xenon headights were an option like the Maxima. Great ride, lots of features, plus Honda relibiblity. Love this car."

"This is my 3rd Accord, each one being a different 'generation' body and engine. This Accord just rides better, handles better, and has more power than my last Accord. The brakes are great, the gas mileage is great, I love it. The only problem I've seen is their little storage bin below the heater controls has a door that occasionally sticks. That's it. Highly recommended."

"Significant improvement over previous two generations. The car is far more enjoyable to drive. AN incredible bargain, the LX has anti-lock brakes, side curtain airbags, etc, with an automatic for under 19k."
Essex , Connecticut - August, 2005
 
"I bought this car specifically for the interior. This was a great buy! Some quirky things to consider before purchasing: 1. there is a lag when putting the pedal to the floor and trying to accelerate. 2. the navigation system controls the audio and A/C as well - it can be cumbersome to learn the system. 3. no 60/40 split seats, however you can pull down the entire bench to access the trunk, or you can fold down the armrest in the center to access the trunk (good for skis). 4. the sunroof controls are to the left of the steering wheel instead of near the sunroof."
Brandon S. (Cockeysville , Maryland - June, 2005)
 
"After 2 months of shopping around I came down to three cars: the EX V6 Accord, Acura TL and the new Avalon. All with the navigation system. The Accord was the best value and I was surprised at how comparable it was to the more expensive TL and Avalon. The Accord will be replacing my Volvo S60 T4, and again, the Accord matched it in quality and is a better driving vehicle (smoother transmission, better ride). Initially I was only so-so with the rear end of the Accord. I ended up getting one in Graphite Pearl and added a lid spoiler which really gives the car a great look. It's amazing to me how different the lid spoiler makes the car look. The lid spoiler is the one that is flat and rests on the trunk, its not the spoiler that is raised off the trunk. I get many double takes from folks and, if not for the front grill, they say they wouldn't have thought it was an Accord. I was also unsure if the navigation system would be worth the additional $2K. This feature gives you much more than just a navigation system. It is more an onboard computer with voice activation features. You can control virtually everything with voice, touch screen or buttons and knobs. Very easy and fun to use. The Honda/Acura navigation system is best on the market."
Prospect , Kentucky - April, 2005
