Professional Reviews

• “Oh, we almost forgot about the performance of the interior. In three words: smooth, firm, quiet (when we wanted it to be). Interior mission accomplished.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Honda stylists attempted to give the Accord the profile of a cheetah...And although no one is going to look at the Accord and say, 'Yikes, that looks just like a cheetah!' with a little imagination (and suggestion) you can suspend disbelief.” — New Car Test Drive
• “It's peppy enough to be entertaining, has an appealingly honest character, and its blend of practicality and fun is made all the sweeter by the impressive 26 mpg city/34 highway EPA fuel economy.” — Road & Track
• “You simply don't expect a Honda Accord to give you this kind of high-performance, sport-driving pleasure, but the 2003 V6 Coupe redefines Accord.” — New Car Test Drive
• “On the down side, the coupe's rear head room has been sacrificed for a racier roofline. And although Honda tells us the styling of both coupe and sedan has been inspired by the lithe and muscular cheetah, this new Accord still looks tame to my eye.” — Road & Track
• “And as far as sport sedan performance goes, well, both the Nissan and Mazda are emotional driver's cars. This Honda is not.” — Edmunds.com
• “The trunk...has 14 cubic feet of volume. Cars like the Mazda 6, Nissan Altima, Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Passat offer more.” — Edmunds.com
• “Even Honda's navigation system, the best in the business, has been improved, both in its operation and its content. And now all Accords get a standard tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.” — AutoWeek
• “Say what you will about the staid ol' family car, Honda knows from whence it butters its bread. And it's not trucks.” — AutoWeek
• “Its engine is almost assured to run for years with nary a hiccup.” — AutoWeek
• “Under the skin, the new unibody is 27 percent stiffer in torsional rigidity, which Honda boasts makes it stiffer than the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and A6, and even the Mercedes S-Class.” — New Car Test Drive
