2003 Honda Accord Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Good power coming from the 3.0 V-6 DOHC engine...puts out 240hp and 216tq stock. Accelerates nicely and handles well. The ride is nice with leather interior and heated driver/passenger seat. Gets good gas mileage with the power it puts out. Looks great with a smooth body and nothing that sticks out.

It's got the look of a sports car, it gets great mileage, it's be incredibly reliable and the worst thing I've had to deal with mechanically is a few electrical problems (mainly due to wiring issues after hitting a deer). This was my first choice after realizing that I couldn't afford an RX-8 and I'm glad I went with it. It's been almost 5 years now and I love the car just as much.

Sleek, dynamic, and fun to drive describes this Accord Coupe. Mine is a 2003 EX Coupe with the 2.4L i-vtec I-4 engine producing 160 horsepower and 160 lb. ft. of torque paired with a 5-Speed Manual transmission. The engine provides decent power with a little added boost at higher rpms when the i-vtec readjusts the camshaft timing for high performance to extract more power out of the engine. The 5-Speed Manual is very smooth and the clutch action is easy to read. The exterior design while not a show stopper it still certainly looks great for a coupe in the Accord’s price range. The added spoiler on the trunk adds a nice touch to the overall look of the exterior. The interior has plenty of room with comfortable seats and amazing ergonomics. The dash is not cluttered with buttons but rather it is well organized. The aluminum trim in the interior is a nice addition to the already attractive interior décor. Even the back seat of the car can fit someone who is six feet tall in relative comfort. There is also an abundance of cargo space in the trunk as well as a voluminous interior for anything else you may need to carry along. Overall I must say job well done Honda. This is one excellent vehicle. Every detail was taken into consideration in design and functionality to create a masterpiece of a car. It has a near perfect blend of ride, handling, and power that is comparable to the marvelous balance of these three aspects in a BMW 3-Series or a Chevrolet Corvette. This car absolutely, hands down blows away the Toyota Camry and I can’t see why anyone in their right mind would choose it over the Accord. In fact if you are considering an Accord be sure to check out the new Chevrolet Malibu. It is a very nice car that has the right formula to compete head to head with the Accord that the Toyota Camry simply cannot match. My car is five years old yet while it has low mileage it has been problem free. The only complaint I have is with blind spots. When backing up the view is obstructed by the high trunk line. This isn’t such an issue for me anymore because I am used to the car and I am over six feet tall but for a driver under six feet tall it may be more of an issue. There are also blind spots created by the cars A-pillars, which are on either side of the wind shield, because they are so thick. Furthermore I have the window visor accessory for both my driver and passenger side door window that contributes to the A-pillar blind spot even more. Otherwise I just wish the car was an EX-V6 / 6-Speed Manual combination for the ultimate 2003 Accord Coupe.

The best car I ever owned. I loved the performance, the overall interior and exterior of the vehicle. Excellent build quality, comfortable seats, great dashboard. The car was a gas guzzler. Just 275 miles to a tank and I had to use 89 grade gas. 87 made the engine knock.

Excellent compromise between fuel economy and performance (EX V6 6-Speed Manual). Great looking interior with a very high level of fit and finish that belies its price point. It makes me feel like I am driving a much more expensive car. It's very reliable and it's nice to know I can always trust it. The ride is a bit crunchier than I prefer and the road noise is a bit high for its class. The seats however, are great and it has one of the best factory non-fancy name audio systems out there, particularly for the money. It handles fairly well for a front-wheel drive car. That being said, I have outgrown its handling capabilities and will be looking for a rear-wheel drive car next time. No matter how much front-wheel drive advances, I just don't think it can deliver the balanced dynamics of rear-wheel drive. It's too bad because I otherwise love this car's blend of performance, economy, reliability, comfort, quality, luxury and features. For its price it is a phenomenal value that will make you think you own a much more expensive car. The interior would be suitable for a $40,000 car. I just wish it were rear-wheel drive.

I have over 75,000 miles on it and haven't had a problem.

When I test drove this car for the first time, I did not expect much- at least not what i got. The V6 produces 240HP, which is and always has been a respectable number. In the automatic version of the car, it does feel fairly powerful and accelerates nicely. However, my favorite option for this car would have to be the 6 speed manual... With that small addition, this turns from a quick coupe to a sleeping beast. As I came to a stop sign, i downshifted and was ablke to hear the V6 really hum for the first time. Immediately inspired, i punched it and found that this car was way more powerful than expected. 0-60 with a launch and some power shifting comes up in around 6 seconds, and that is by far enough to surprise some of the even luckier of us who own BMW's. If i didn't currently own my 540i, this would definitely be my car of choice.

Is it really a Honda Accord? Hard to believe with great couple styling, 240 hp, and a 6 speed manual. A great, great car.

Performance: Good acceleration from the Vtec 3.0L throughout the powerband Build Quality: Excellent. All repairs due to the high number of kms Appearance: I love the classic lines. Makes the car not show it's age. However, I wish it had the skirt package Cost of Ownership: The car owes me nothing at this point because I've owned it outright for 3 years and it's just maintenance costs Fun Factor: A kid at a Subway ran out to tell me how cool he thought my Acccord looked. I was shocked.

Thus far the car has been great. Its a four cylinder so it gets great gas mileage. The performance is good for the size car and engine match. I love it. 4-cyl, 6-CD, Leaher, Tint, Alloys, Pwr win/locks, Moonroof
