I am driving my fifth Honda, a 2003 Accord EX. For the first time in all the years driving Honda I have had substantial problems with this car. Early on the car developed rattles, a problem that has not been solved. I had problems with an air cleaner, misalignment, brakes and now at 44.000 miles, the lighting on my radio went out. Dealership told me that I needed a new radio at a cost of approximately $ 800. On the comfort side I have to say that the seat is the most uncomfortable of any other Honda I owned. The best one so far was my Accord 2000, which I passed on to my daughter who is still driving it with 98.000 miles and going strong. We did not have any repairs on this car and the seat is 100% better than my accord 2003.

As a positive note I must add that I am working with a rep at Honda to mitigate some of these problems.
