If so what are your impressions of it?

 

Yes, I own one. I really like it. The suspension is really great. The car has very little roll around corners and the ride is fairly smooth. Also the v6 is very powerful, I have never found the need to push the engine above 3k rpms but will after the brake in. The one problem I have with it are that the brakes put out a lot of dust. I just cleaned my rims yesterday and a day later and they are pretty dirty. The interior is nice, and so is the sound system.

 

My wife's got one, they are really nice. It handles fairly well for a stock accord, the engine is much more powerful than the 6th gen version, and seems to be much smoother. The auto tranny seems a bit more stable, the shifts certainly aren't as pronounced. The interior is nice, the leather on the seats feels to be better quality than the 6th gen. My only gripe is the sound system, I really don't think it is improved at all, actually, mine sounds much cleaner and clearer than hers, although it isn't bad. The cabin also has much less road noise.......6th gens have quite a bit on the highway, but the new ones don't have quite as much. Definately a nice car for under 26k.

 

It's my first Accord so I'm loving everything about it. It's one of those types of cars where keeping it stock is just about as good as "modding it up." At least to me it is.

 

I would agree with many of the same points except the tranny isnt as smooth as i thought it would be. Maybe because im still breaking the car in, but at times it just feels rough going from 1->2 off a red light. Other than that the car is amazing.

 

It might have something to do with it not being broken in properly yet, do you have the V6? It seems to shift much better than the 6th gen, I think the shifts on the 6th gen are pretty choppy. It may improve as you get more miles on it. We just hit 1000 in the car today, and I figured that was a decent break in, so I took it out for a spirted drive, it is a really great car.

 

I've got about 3800 miles on it already and the tranny feels smooth

 

drove the coupe, loved it.

 

i just got the ex v6, amazingly smooth tranny and great turning radius. only complaints the stereo and the brakes. i took it to the dealer and they said there might be a recal on the squeaky brakes. whenever i press down on them they squeak, kinda annoying.

 

how many miles are on the car? I only have about 200 miles and my breaks are fine. Maybe your rotors have been "glazed" or have a lot of buildupm that can cause squeekyness. The 03 puts out a lot of brake dust compared to other cars I have had.
