Finally got my new Accord EX and traded in my '99 Passat.
This is a great bang for the buck.
Taffeta White EX. 4 Cyl. 5 speed. The only thing I added was the spoiler and tinted windows.

 

what do u mean bang for the buck? value or performance? Performance wise it is a far cry from "bang for the buck" but it is an excellent overall car for the money. nice purchase

 

At 170 HP it is very comparible to the 1.8T, especially because it uses regular gas.
After all, neither are race cars.

 

Oh yea, it's actually quieter than the Passat and drives much nicer.

 

exactly what "wing" did you add to the car?

 

Congrats on your new ride. What percentage tint did you get on your accord? Do you have any pics? I've yet to see an 03 Accord with tinted windows.

 

I am hopeing he is talking about the stock spoiler. It looks really good on the sedan and has a design similar to the s2000's spoiler.

 

Man i just rode in one and it didnt seem like we were goin fast even at like 60-75 mph. Very nice ride. Well this one was an LX but it was still a very nice car. Much props to honda on this one. Arent they doin a six speed also? Cant wait. very nice car.

 

160hp u meant right?

 

I would of sprang for the v6.. the v4 accords are pretty damn shy on horsepower.. especially because of their weight. It is a smooth ride, dont get me wrong, but not the performance machine we all would like to think (Unless you got tons to spend).

 

v4's, huh?

 

<shrugs> we all knew what he ment

 

My bad.. I rarely do that.. 4-cylinder.. Excuse my ediquette

 

I4 with i-vtec!=160hp

 

I added the larger spoiler (wing as they call it), not the trim spoiler. It's not as big as the spoiler on the 2001 Civic Coupe I have. That one blocks the rear view quite a bit.
I added 30% tint. It looks great on the white EX.
They're right about the HP. I looked at so many cars, I forgot which had which.
This isn't a race car after all and is my family sedan. I'm obviously moving away from the performance I'll never use. I'm glad to not have to put Premium fuel in this one.

 

I'd like to post the pictures but can never figure out how to do it on this site.

 

we don't want to all see your pictures........
put them up in imagestation and post a link to them

you're a ricer aren't you?

Not really. If I had my way I'd be driving Mustang Cobra or new Boss. Oh well, those days are over I guess.
