2004 Honda Accord

Rosemary · Rosemary

Thanks for the reply Amanda. Yeah, I know something may happen with not having a job or whatever. If I bought a 18,000 car today, financing $5500 for 24mo's with my parents credit, my payment would be about 250 (intrest included there), and thankfully, my parents would be able to cover my payment/insu...

One look at real world mileage figures at GreenHybrid between the Prius and Civic makes it obvious that the Civic approach is working just as well, all the while keeping it simple so less things go wrong. NASA rocket scientists bought a 2nd gen Prius to disassemble and figure out how it works, they fail...

Haze · Haze

When I drive my parents car's (TSX and Volvo S40) I use the roofs religiously. My area is a very sunroof kinda place. Year round too Stephencrosbie The civic is nice, no doubt. I've never driven one (older ones I have), but they look really nice. Its not so much that I hate hondas way of hybrid, but my bigge...

Channing · Channing

All V6s are ULEV. I was talking the PZEV vehicles. Those are only in specific states. Honda's approach to Hybrids is very different. The new Civic gives some great mileage and is comparable to the Prius as many people can't get close to the advertised numbers. The Civic is easier to achieve those numbe...

Mona · Mona

1I believe all the 4 cyls I drove were ULEV. My dealer will let you order a ULEV when you buy new, and they even have some on their lot most of the time. However, the Accord is a really clean burning car I'm almost positive. The whole Hybrid thing is great, but Honda does'nt make a Hybrid that I can afford and f...

Dayton · Dayton

Wow, you remind me of myself. My advice. Do some research, figure out what you want exactly ie., Make, model, generation, trim level, transmission, color, etc. Once you come up with what you current, realistic, dream car is start looking. You may have difficulty in finding exactly what you are looki...

Trevor · Trevor

Yeah I know. My big deal is that I want to keep my next car for a long time, so I want it to be exactly what I want, or I at least want to feel 100% confident buying it. And I only sat in one Accord that I could say I felt confident about buying, and that was the 5mt that I first drove. However after looking at it more...

The Subaru is a nice car. Hmm... Well I got to do my looking around today at 2 dearlerships. One has an 06' demo vehicle with 5k on it. It's an Accord EXL A/T. The A/T is the bummer, I really, really, wanted the stick . So I had to move on to the next. Looked at the Civics, I don't fit well in them. I'm 6'1 and still...

Corina · Corina

But here's my issue. Me being the somewhat spoiled little brat I can be at times wants a Sunroof at least, and if I'm gonna pay for my car, I want the best car I can get. Best as in more features I suppose. Yeah I hear you about the insurance, that's why I'm hesistant to even look at the Civic. There are quite a f...

Beulah · Beulah

Alright, I got an update for ya'll. I testdrove the Black 03' EXL-Nav I4 5spd. As luck would have it, I got there for my 4:30p.m. testdrive appointment and the car wouldn't start. A quick change of the 'old' Honda BAttery to a new one got me on the road at 5. Perfect, I get to drive in traffic. Well thankfull...

Spencer · Spencer

If properly maintained, Honda's shouldn't have any major issues for at least 100K miles, but of course that does depend on how well it was taken care of.....1 of the drawbacks of buying used is not knowing how it was driven or maintained. The Accord is generally considered a family car and as such is usu...

Ridley · Ridley

I want to spend less than 18k hopefully. My dealer has a Black EXL 5spd that he said he'd do for 17.5k it has navi too. But 65k miles. That sounds like a good deal, but I've driven a 6spd and I don't really like the shift feel, and the coupe has an uncomfortable driving position for me. I also like my 4 doors. Th...

Lynsey · Lynsey

Hi everyone, I've finally kept a job long enough, saved enough money and haven't had one ticket this year so my Parents are going to help me buy my first car of my own (they'll finance it). I'm looking into a Cert. Pre-Owned 7th gen Sedan EX or better. I need my sunroof . I currently drive a 96' LX with 103.6k...

Kaden · Kaden

Music Link is dealer installed & can be done at any time. Its not a great engineering feat on Honda's part, but it is integrated, and allows music selection from the dash while your iPod is in the glove compartment out of sight.

Mable · Mable

Yes. If I hit "CD/AUX" it will switch between CD (the built-in indash changer in the headunit), and CDC, which is the USA-Spec. I think for you guys in the US the button says "CD/AUX/XM" or something...in which case it would switch between those 3 instead of the 2 in my car.As for c...

Twyla · Twyla

I want the old one. I didn't renew xm so I have that rockin' ad station instead of any real music. As much fun as ads are, I'd rather get rid of them.As far as the cd changer question, you don't lose it from what I've heard. I believe people have said it uses the cd changer input for those who add the changers af...

Norma · Norma

Simple...Honda MusicLink is inferior to what is available aftermarket for less cost. Also, from what I have read MusicLink features an option to voice-select playlists or something, but it means training the iPod and reindexing it somehow...and apparently if you add a song or two it all has to be do...

Kitty · Kitty

I just got my 07 Accord SE but with no music adapter option. I received an iPod as a gift and now I would like to install some sort of adapter for it. I do NOT want an FM transmitter. I found the installation instructions for the Honda music link adapter, but is it compatible with my equipment? I know there is...

Deanna · Deanna

That is completely the opposite of my experience with the Malibu. That car's suspension was soft, brakes were softs, and the car had lots of body roll. Yeah, I believe it was an I4. The interior was okay, but too plasticy. Then again, it seems like all car manufacturers are starting to make their car int...

Royston · Royston

I'm really suprised that ya'll thought the Malibu (06) was that bad. Maybe you had a 4cyl. My freinds mom has a V6 one, and I have to say, it pulls, but that's that American pushrod tourqe. All the interior pieces were very nice too, I'd say the build quality was on par with a 96-01 Civic. And that's not bad a...

Carrie · Carrie

I will correct you on this, in the states, they never sold the Chrysler Neon, after Plymouth was gone, only the Voyager and Prowler went to Chrysler, the only Neon sold in the states after 2001 was the Dodge. In Canada, starting from 2000, the only Neon we had was the Chrysler Neon, Plymouth or Dodge were...

Mindy · Mindy

I agree. Several years ago, a coworker who worked at a different out-of-state office flew in to our office for a week and got a Chevrolet Cavalier as a rental. A bunch of us went out to lunch and he drove. I sat in the back. When I tried to get out, I pulled on the door handle and it wouldn't open. I didn't reali...

Davie · Davie

imo any current GM using a AT falls in the POS category. My parents' 2004 Grand Am had one of the dumbest autos on earth. Basically you would want to accelerate to make a lane change, so you would hit the gas (either hard or to the floor), and the car would do nothing...nothing at all. So then you would go to m...

...well, maybe it all balances out........for some time, the Honda/Acura 6M clutch has been maligned by some......Now lookee here:One of the biggest improvements to the 6MT drivetrain is the clutch take-up. I can't tell you how many times we stalled the '04 TL 6MT during our 2004 winter road test wh...

Kay · Kay

...a 2003 Kia Rio. Driving 75 on the highway I thought I was going to die as I went around a slight bend that I wouldn't hesitate to take at 90 with my Accord. I've never driven a bigger POS in my life!

I bought my 2004 Accord from Honda Cars of Boston and it was a mixed experience. The basic price negotation for the car was OK, but they tried to get way too much for the extended warranty and told me with a wink and a nod that the discounts on accessories were a special deal for me because Honda doesn't let d...

Tyrrell · Tyrrell

I think I put $500 for mine because I knew they had the car, but technically a deposit is a deposit; no matter how much you put down... Most places won't let you charge more than $1000 anyway. What I meant by a large deposit is something more than $1000. Bernardi Honda is cool, too.... I love how they let you...

Aaron · Aaron

I just wanted to post a warning. I tried to buy my car at Honda Cars of Boston and it was a nightmare. They lied to me telling me they were going to get me my car and I did not hear from them for to weeks when I went back in and tried to get my deposit back and they would not give it to me even when they could not find th...

A friend spilled a large amount of soup in the backseat (leather) of my 2004 Honda Accord. I immediately cleaned the seat area up with water, simple green, and leather cleaner. However, after a few days have passed, my wife and I have noticed a very foul odor in the car. I believe a large amount of liquid e...
