Accord Coupe LX
Strength:
More than enough power from VTEC 4-cyl. engine, sporty looks and handling, sophisticated suspension, very comfortable, spacious, and reliable. Looks good, feels good, and will never let you down.
Weakness:
Tires are a bit skinny and more power wouldn't hurt. There are no side trims on the door to prevent scratches. Rear drum brakes on LX. The Accord Coupe is much more stylish than the sedan version and has slightly better handling and performance. One car magazine clocked the 4-cylinder EX doing 0-60 in 8.0 seconds. The V6 is even faster, of course. Similar Products Used: None |

Accord Ex
Strength:
Reliability, gas mileage, handling, interiro comfort
Weakness:
Paint problems, and body sides ding easily. Very sluggish acceleration even on 4 cylinder 5 speed. All the usual good things about it's reliability, but I am having a problem with the black paint on the hood melting whenever sap, or bird droppings land on the hood and get heated by the sun. I've had this problem since 1997 and have had no success with Honda, they will not admit there is a problem with the paint. |

Accord EX
Strength:
Handling, performance for 4-cylinder engine, great ride, no problems, love it!
Weakness:
not really any for me. good all around car I love the car! Very good mpg, fast for 4-cylinder, have the 2.2 V-Tech, very good engine. I love the response of the car to everything, corners very well, a little roll, but nothing major. Plan to modify in the year to come. Very good looking as well! Similar Products Used: Ford Bronco, much better response of the line because of weight, lot better ride, I will never go back to a SUV 4X4 again. It's rough and slow. |

Strength:
Attitudes, Handeling, Control, Predictability,Sight, Fuel
Weakness:
Noisy, not very smooth, engine revs like self-destruct when going up hill, but it works. Great road feel, great handeling, great gas economy, good front space, good view, decent looks and very predictable. Go with the V4, for V6 the Camry might be a better deal. Similar Products Used: Toyota Tercel, Corolla, Celica, Honda Civic and Nissan Maxima |

LX V6 Coupe
Strength:
Lively to drive, (those considering a Camry would do better to drive an Accord - much more fun to drive) Good Styling of the coupe, Excellent Ergonomics,reliable, silky smooth, powerful V6 engine.
Weakness:
Torque steer and front wheel spin when accelerating hard from a stop. OEM tires - Bridgestone Turanzas are way too slippery and noisy, detracting a lot from driving pleasure. I pait $23,400 out of the door ($20,500 invoice) and feel it is a very good price for a V6 equipped car. Similar Products Used: Toyota Camry. Camry may be good for Grandma and Grandpa but not for me, the Accord gives me much more lively performance and style with same reliability. |

LX V6 coupe
Strength:
This is an EXCELLENT car - combining the strengths of performance, comfort, and reliability. It is quite a fun car to drive. (I replaced my OEM tires with Bridgestone Turanza REVO - and the performance increment is simply mind-blowing)
Weakness:
Torque steer, bad OEM tires - if you got the 4 Cylinder which has Michelin MXV4, you are fine, but Bridgestones are too noisy and lose grip easily - that is why I replaced them with Turanza REVO, which are very very good tires. I will recommend this car highly to any one looking for reliable, fun to drive car. Similar Products Used: Toyota Camry '88. - Camry was very reliable also, but quite boring to drive with too much 'lean' in turns. |

Accord EX Coupe
Strength:
My wife's car... I love getting the keys and driving it. All is good on this car.
Weakness:
4 banger is strong for a 4 banger, V-6 is weak for a V-6... Honda should be looking for v-6 performance like a Maxima for it's coupe We purchased the coupe 15 months ago from a dealer here in Pensacola. The car is outstanding. Our dealer experience was god-awful. Honda dealers seem to be a little to proud and conceited about their cars (I can't blame them too much) and didn't want to deal much at all. Armed with invoice prices and the like, the dealer didn't want to come off the price at all. I finally paid about 1500 above invoice. The car is loaded, with leather as well. The seats are comfy, the ride is very solid and feels like a sports car until you actually start trying to corner quickly in it! Gas mileage is excellent and it runs like a top. Only one really annoying thing is that the rearview mirrors were put in the wrong place or designed the wrong way because the wind noise from the mirrors is very loud at highway speeds. Similar Products Used: Maxima. Accord is much higher quality and built to higher tolerances. Maxima is much more sporty, even though the Accord coupe looks sportier. |
