Guys, I'm about to sign on a demo 03 Accord LX...some dude was telling me that there are issues with the 03 accords that are now fixed on the 04's....Such as the breaks are crappy etc..
Anyone hear anything like this...any feed back is appreciated...if anyone here owns one...please let me know how the car is ...
Thanks

there MAY be something wrong with the 2003's since they are the first year of te new generation accords. but probably not the brakes. the brakes on my mom's AV6 AT are incredible and super-strong.
whenever my mom lets me drive the thing its a joy. compared to my vic its like a ferrari (well maybe not a ferrari but its a huge step up). the suspension is great, takes corners awsome, power is there, torquey, VTEC is actually hearable. gets up to 100 PRETTY fast. one thing i dont like is that it feels heavy which is acceptable and the stock tires are crap. but great car nonetheless. thats why it was on caranddriver's 10 best for like 19/24 years.
ive heard problems with electrical and like stuff creaking and sqeaking and maybe something with the suspension but thats probably from driviing the car to hell....

Rep Power: 382 I had my accord for 12,000 miles and drove it hard.... Never had a problem. I had the EX V6 6-speed with navi. I've yet to hear of any of them having trouble with warping rotors either.
