Updated 08/02/08

*Any info you guys would like us to add, please PM one of the mods or reply to this thread. We're still looking for info on: fluid capacities, problem areas (rattles, etc), torque specs.

This FAQ is not meant to answer most of your detailed questions in a nutshell. It is meant to give you a place to start looking for an answer. You still have to do your own reading and draw your own conclusions.

Of course, this FAQ is not meant to be used as a Bible or as a replacement for common sense. It is only meant to be used as a guide. Do not go out and pour 5.3 quarts of oil into your car and assume the oil is at the correct level. If you bring the part number for the brake pads into your Honda dealer and they tell you that you have the wrong part number, I would generally advise you to believe them.

Good luck and happy motoring :yes: :thmsup:

Model History
For 2003, Honda releases a completely redesigned Accord. Like every other Honda, the new Accord comes to the fight in full battle gear, bringing with it a full assortment of features, options, advancements and innovations. From the bargain basement DX model to the fully loaded EX V6 Navi, everyone can find a trim level that's right for their price range.

Trim Levels and Features
2003
Three basic trim levels are offered on the Accord: DX, LX and EX. Available only as a sedan, the DX is the value model, coming standard with items considered luxuries just a few years ago. Among them, AM/FM/CD, power windows, tilt AND telescope steering, intermittent wipers, 15" steel wheels with full wheel covers, four wheel ABS, and dual front airbags.

The LX adds to that impressive list with air conditioning, cruise control, power side view mirrors, power locks with keyless entry, upgraded interior fabric, optional side airbags, and more speakers for the audio system. Outside, it is easily distingused by its 7 spoke wheel covers, body color moldings/mirrors/door handles, chrome trim surrounding the windows, and more available colors. The LX V6 makes side airbags standard, adds a standard 5-speed automatic, 16" steel wheels with 7-spoke wheel covers, 4 wheel disc brakes, anti-theft system, traction control, front side airbags, 8-way power drivers seat, 6-disc in dash CD changer, and of course the V6 (with dual chrome exhaust tips on the Coupe).

Stepping up to the EX model, you get polished 16" 5-spoke alloy wheels, painted side skirts, 4 wheel disc brakes with Electronic Brake Force Distribution, power moonroof with tilt, adjustable driver seat lumbar support and power height adjustment, anti-theft system, side air bags, steering wheel mounted audio controls, upgraded interior trim, and a 6-disc in dash CD changer. Available options include leather trim (includes automatic dual zone climate control, heated front seats with 8 way power driver seat, and side airbags), Honda's Navigation System (available only with leather, includes trip computer), and side curtain airbags (available only with leather). The V6 adds a standard 5-speed automatic, Home-Link transmitter, standard leather interior, traction control, and unique 16" 7-spoke polished alloy wheels, and dual chrome exhaust tips on the Coupe. A 6-speed manual transmission was offered as a no cost option for the EX V6 Coupe only, bringing a 180 watt premium audio system, red V6 badging, elegant silver 17" split 5-spoke wheels, perforated leather and faux carbon fiber interior trim along with it.

Colors offered in 2003 (in US) were:

  • Desert Mist Metallic
  • Eternal Blue Pearl
  • Graphite Pearl
  • Nighthawk Black Pearl
  • Noble Green Pearl
  • Redondo Red Pearl
  • San Marino Red
  • Sapphire Blue Pearl
  • Satin Silver Metallic
  • Taffeta White


For 2004, the Accord stayed more or less the same. XM Satellite Radio and side curtain air bags became standard on models with leather interiors (EX-L, EX V6).

Colors offered in 2004 (in US) were:

  • Deep Green Pearl
  • Desert Mist Metallic
  • Eternal Blue Pearl
  • Graphite Pearl
  • Nighthawk Black Pearl
  • Redondo Red Pearl
  • San Marino Red
  • Sapphire Blue Pearl
  • Satin Silver Metallic
  • Taffeta White


For 2005, the Accord received a slight update. The sedan rear lights became all red with the exception of the reverse lights. All models received standard front side airbags and side curtain airbags. LX and LX V6 models received new 6 spoke wheel covers and the EX V6 received restyled thicker 7-spoke polished alloys. The LX-SE and LX-SE V6 trim package also makes its debut on the Accord Coupe, consisting of EX alloy wheels (engine dependent, ie. LX-SE V6 gets EX V6 wheels), a flush trunk mounted spoiler, and painted side skirts underneath the doors. The Accord Hybrid also debuts with a 255HP 3.0L V6 with IMA, VCM, ANC, and ACM. Available only as a sedan, it comes standard with a lip spoiler, unique 16" aerodynamic alloys, unique exterior colors, yet curiously has no spare tire (a can of Fix-A-Flat and gloves instead) or sunroof. The interior is differentiated by a slightly modified gauge cluster with an IMA gauge to show whether the electric motor and battery are assisting or being charged. The cubby hole underneath the climate controls is also made considerably smaller, why is anyone's guess. A Navigation System remains optional.

Colors offered in 2005 (in US) were:

  • Deep Green Pearl
  • Desert Mist Metallic
  • Eternal Blue Pearl
  • Graphite Pearl
  • Nighthawk Black Pearl
  • Redondo Red Pearl
  • San Marino Red
  • Sapphire Blue Pearl
  • Satin Silver Metallic
  • Silver Frost Metallic
  • Taffeta White


For 2006, the Accord received a nice makeover. The front and rear fascias were changed, as was the front grille, along with completely new taillamps and revised badging for both the coupe and sedan. Engines are updated to 166HP for the 4 cylinder with DBW (increase of 6HP) and 244HP for the 6 cylinder (increase of 4). 4 cylinder EX models received split 5-spoke 16" polished alloys, while all V6 models except the Hybrid and 6-speed receive polished 17" 9-spoke alloys as well as a standard sunroof. The 6-speed option makes its way over to the sedan, and all 6-speeds get polished 17" 5-spoke alloy wheels. The instrument cluster is updated slightly across the board, as is the shift knob on automatic models. The Hybrid debuts later in the model year, with 253HP and a sunroof, along with a significant drop in mileage. The Hybrid's gauge cluster also receives a uniquely colored gauge cluster to differentiate it from the rest of the Accord sedans. The DX trim is dropped in favor of the new VP, now with power locks and cruise control standard, along with the normal side air bags and side curtain air bags. The LX-SE trim is dropped from the Coupe lineup and added to the Sedan lineup, adding a 6-disc CD changer, EX 16" alloys and 4 wheel disc brakes w/ EBD. This time around, the LX-SE trim is limited to the 4 cylinder engine. All models receive DRL's and the Maintenance Minder system. All V6's receive Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) to complement the traction control system. The optional Navigation System is updated with 4th generation GPS software/interface, improving usability and features.

Colors offered in 2006 (in US) were:

  • Alabaster Silver Metallic
  • Carbon Bronze Pearl
  • Desert Mist Metallic
  • Graphite Pearl
  • Nighthawk Black Pearl
  • Premium White Pearl
  • Redondo Red Pearl
  • Royal Blue Pearl
  • Sapphire Blue Pearl
  • Silver Frost Metallic
  • Taffeta White


For 2007, the Accord carries over relatively unchanged, since 2006 was the Accord's year for the mid-model change (MMC). Several minor changes are made to trim lines. An SE V6 model is added, slotting in below the LX V6. SE V6 buyers have to forego the power drivers seat, power moonroof, heated side mirrors, and ambient lighting, but they also get to keep an extra $1850 in the bank. All EX V6 trim lines are also renamed EX-L V6, which adds a 4 way power passenger seat this year. All coupe models now come with alloy wheels.

Colors offered in 2007 (in US) were:

  • Alabaster Silver Metallic
  • Carbon Bronze Pearl
  • Cool Blue Metallic
  • Desert Mist Metallic
  • Graphite Pearl
  • Moroccan Red Pearl
  • Nighthawk Black Pearl
  • Royal Blue Pearl
  • San Marino Red
  • Sapphire Blue Pearl
  • Taffeta White


Drivetrain
Two engines are offered on the 7th generation Accord. The 4 cylinder model (DX, LX, EX) receives a state of the art K-series engine, a far cry from the ancient F-series engine (tracing its roots back to the 1990 Accord) of the previous generation. Displacing 2.4 liters, the engine utilizes DOHC i-VTEC to help it produce 160HP and 161lb-ft of torque. More amazingly, this engine also manages to achieve great fuel mileage (26/34 MT, 24/33 AT) and is available with a PZEV emissions rating. Maintenance requirements are also lowered. Oil changes are now stretched out to 10,000 miles, spark plugs aren't due for 110,000 miles, and unlike the belts of previous Honda's, the timing chain never needs to be replaced. The engine received an update for 2006 (including the addition of DBW), checking in at 166HP under the new SAE J1349 test standards. The K24 can be mated to a 5-speed manual or an optional 5-speed automatic.

The real news lies in the 6 cylinder model (LX, EX). Although not a fresh design like the K24, the J-series carries over from the 6th generation with major modifications to help it compete with the Camry, Altima and Mazda6. Drastic changes to the intake path, valvetrain and an integrated exhaust manifold helps the buttery smooth 3.0 liter engine to produce 240HP and 212lb-ft of torque. Spark plugs aren't due for change until 105K, but the oil still needs to be replaced every 7500 miles. For 2006, the engine received a 4 horsepower boost under the new SAE J1349 test standards. The J30 can be mated to a 5-speed automatic or a no cost option 6-speed manual (see Trim Levels for specifics)

The Hybrid model (sedan only) adds a 15HP electric motor to the 6 cylinder, putting it at 255HP. Gains in fuel economy were not the main priority as much as the added torque of the electric motor around town and during passing maneuvers. A redesigned 5-speed automatic was installed in order to fit the electric motor, with regenerative braking as an added bonus.
