2004 Honda Accord EX V6 Reviews
“My First Car... (that I Bought On My Own)”
I like. Lots. It's faster than you think.
The Accord is solid, quiet and refined, and it makes a fine family sedan. Any Accord model is exceptionally pleasant in virtually every respect, but the sedan trails just a bit in ride comfort. Generally, the ride is smooth, but some bumps are bothersome.
The firm suspension pays off in confident handling — apart from slight steering deadness at the on-center position. Performance with the V-6 and automatic transmission also excels by delivering quick bursts of acceleration. Seat comfort and support are appealing, the brightly lit gauges are great, and the air conditioner is potent. Space is adequate or ample all around, but the cockpit feels cozier than those in some midsize cars.

Just Perfect! THis my second Accord, this model is smaller but it is more agile. I really like to take the sharp turns and it is equipped all the security features.

All the luxuries for a decent price
reliable, stable and smooth.
I have owned by 2004 Accord since February of 2004. I have only had to replace the tires and rear brakes and the car has about 55K on it. The car is a very smooth ride, handles well in rain and wind, it is an extremely safe car, and has a lot of luxery features. Most people think they are getting into a lexus when they get into my car. Plus, my car still smells new. I researched a lot of vehicles before I purchased this car. I started out with the accord because I previously owned a 1986 Accord that lasted until I graduated college. I looked at many cars, but the Camery, Altima, and Maxima were the best cars that I looked at compared to the Accord. The Altima and Camery were jerky when you accelerated. Additionally, the 6-cd changer, moon roof, etc. was not standard with the Camery and I would have to pay about 3K more for those features. I really liked the Maxima, but it was 10K more than the Accord. Ultimately, the Accord was the best value and has 240HP, 6 cyl., 4 door and drives like a luxery car.
Also, my sisters have learned that you cannot place burded CDs with the CD labels attached. These will ruin your CD player. Both of my sisters have CRVs and within 1 month, they both stopped working. So, if a friend rips you a CD, make sure it does not have a label (from a label maker) on it. Apparently the glue comes off and destroys your system. Honda does not warn you about this and just tells you to purchase a new CD player.
