Default what do you HATE about your 03-07 Accord?

We all know theres things most folks LOVE, but what really pisses you off about your model?

For me, my back deck buzzes and rattles after installing new trunk springs. Wonder if thats why they took them out. I also have no working dome lights despite good looking fuses.

My 06 EX I4 was the most perfect Honda I owned. The only thing I "hated" was the ring on the main radio button was painted. And the paint started to come off. Not sure if Honda knew this when they source the parts supplier.


And being that it was a big and heavy car, I did felt the I4 to be a bit underpowered.

For me its two things, 1. interior has quite a few rattles/buzzing and 2. road noise. Other than that I love my Honda 2007 accord 4dr ex.

Really good question!
2006 Honda Accord V6 6speed MT has been crazy on my tires. 125000 miles and have replaced them 4 times already. I have tried top of the line Z rated tires (Michellin, Pirelli, Bridestone) an normal V*(Yokohana) and nothing lasts close to what the warrantly\ promises. Alignment perfect. Suspension perfect and both checked routinely. The present ones 20000 miles on a 40000 mile warranty tire is worn to the point of replacement.

03 Accord 6-6

-No LSD

-I don't want a drivers power seat, I want manual

-Cheap leather, I want heated cloth

-I don't need a 6cd, I want a USB port, and aux (sourced aftermarket aux)

-It's a bit heavy

Other than that I love it. It's the most reliable fun Honda I have owned.

We have only had our 03 for a few months, but right now we hate everything about it.

Appears we bought a lemon, bad electrical problems with ECU. Gone through 2 ECUs so far and found one was replaced before we bought it.

I know that is not what you were asking in the thread, but I needed to vent a little......

Have developed an annoying rattle at low RPM, seems to be coming from front pasenger side wheel area, or maybe exhaust. Cant find it.

But now my driver side front brake is telling me it needs to be changed, so hopefully the noise is brake related and will go away with new pads/rotors...

My 04 has no factory fog lights, I have the lx trim so they really skimped out on features. The 4 cylinder is a little underpowered.

Nothing I "hate", but the DBW throttle is a little too sensitive/jumpy at low speeds.

True...but i actually like it alittle sensitive of course at low speeds its not to fun but its just means you have to be more carefull when accelerating. Since its such a touchy pedal. On my 09 Honda Civic LX sedan the APP sensor is directly on the gas pedal. So its more sensitive Setup. Instead of a cable that connects to the pedal And Leads to APP sensor. In the engine compartment like how it is on our Generation Of Accords.

ive found a few more things despite LOVING this car. I must agree with some of you as well.

The DBW irritates me as others stated its jumpy, I often turn off VSA to cure this.
I hate how the engine decelerates in steps, it causes less than smooth shifts sometimes...speaking of shifts....3rd gear grinds a little.
There is no USB or AUX port. I have an iPod connector in my glove box tho, but Im an Android user....I dont own apple ANYTHING, wife has a shattered ipod I use.
I want fog lights so bad.
I have a blown OEM speaker, time to UPGRADE!
since purchasing my car last year I have replaced a list of things and now have axles popping slightly, wife has bitched about this car often despite saying how nice it is.

Replaced Broken CLUTCH AND FLYWHEEL DAY 3, air intake hose wrapped in black tape and BLACK filter and BLACK cabin filter, had no Honda key/remote ($150), brakes, rotors, one caliper due to bolt ripping threads out during removal, drivers interior door handle, trunk springs, 2 motor mounts, drivers seat AIRBAG SENSOR and ABS CONTROLLER, wiper transmission clips, radiator overflow hose, rear main seal, power steering low pressure o ring, wrong size battery, and both upstream oxygen sensors. AND NOW I NEED AXLES!
