2005 Honda Accord EX Reviews

Good fuel consumption, bad sound isolation
The Accord is also one of the few family sedans that's available in a coupe body style, and we should note that the coupe is substantially sportier than the workaday sedan.
actually good car.

You can't go wrong with a Honda, especially the Accord if you're looking for a solid, decently powerful car. Though it's more inspiring with the V6 (you'll hear the same verdict with almost any family sedan), it's definitely a beautiful grocery getter.

The Honda Accord name has a reputation for quality engineering and is very well priced at a starting price point of approximately A$33,500, a considerably lower price than the major rivals, being the Mazda 6 and Subaru Liberty. It represents a solid value-for-money proposition, with standard features such as a vehicle stability assist, front and side airbags, a 6-disc CD stereo and dual zone climate control.

Honda's 2.4 litre inline 4-cylinder engine stands up well against the 2.5-litre Liberty and 2.3-litre Mazda 6, generating a class-leading 140 kilowatts of power. An average fuel economy around 9.2L/100Km in City traffic, dipping to approx. 8.8L/100Km in out of town Freeway driving (auto model), it is quite miserly in the fuel stakes for this class of car.

Although manufactured in Asia, it has a strong European feel in build and fittings and is a highly recommended mid size vehicle.

I'm a Honda fan and have enjoyed my 2005 Accord EX hugely. It is comfortable, roomy, handles fine and never requires maintance. My only compliant is that I wish it had a way to plug in my ipod. Very happy I bought this over a VW, which several friends have had lots of minor issues with.
