2005 Accord EX V-6 Sedan by jmscpa

I just purchased a new 2005 Accord as my daily driver to replace my 1995 Prelude SE which has 215,000 miles on it. This is my 4th Honda and the first car I've ever purchased with an automatic transmission. I've always purchased sticks but I recently moved and now face urban commuter traffic which made me decide to try an automatic. I'm going to hang onto the Prelude to satisfy my desire for shift manually.
 
Before the Prelude I had an 87 Accord that I put 265,000 miles on. I'm hoping for similar mileage durability from the new 2005.

I bought our first Honda yesterday! Graphite Pearl EX 6cyl with leather. Truly a beautiful car. Handles great. The wife will drive it the next two weeks until I go back to work after the holidays (my commute is must longer).
 
I test drove a Pontiac G6 since I get all the GM employee benefits from my father, but the Honda blew it out of the water. The Honda Seemed like it had much more quality feel to it and it was just $500 more than the G6 GT.
 
I get free oil changes and tires for life if I use their maintenance department. I expensive is the dealer service programs?

myers5 - concerning your pulling problem - you stated that you have aligned it twice. Has anyone rotated the tires? If not, rotate the front tires to the rear & vice versa. I've had this situation recently on a 01 Accord. The tires were almost new, and I had aligned it. Rotating as I described above completely solved the problem.

I bought this car three weeks ago and I must say it's the nicest car I've ever owned and believe me I've owned alot in my 40 years. This car has quality written all over it and I really can't see a weakness with this car. I feel like I'm driving a luxury car ever time I get behind the wheel. The interior is absolutely beautiful with the most comfortable seats I've ever had the priviledge of sitting in. The leather is awesome with a quality feel and the XM radio is great. The stereo sounds fantastic and the ride is fantastic. Kudos to Honda for building such a great car.

My first advice: Don't buy one. I own a 2001 and an Acura too, same year, and had transmission problems and others. If you still are, the extra money for the 4 is not worth it.

01 Accord maintenance by slowman2
Feb 24, 2005 (11:48 pm)

I have 01 Acoord EX v6 with about 56,000 miles. The dealer told me to do a maintenance.I have had this car for about 4 years wihtout problems. i did one or two maintenance, and skipped one (not sure). I like the dealer service, but too expensive. My questioin is: should i follow the schedules on the Manual and do the maintenace at dealer, or follow the manual's schedule and do it at other autoshops? or just change the oil without maintenance? where do you have oil change after warranty?
 
I appreciate any info!
 
Thank you

slowman2:
 
If you want to protect your life, and the life of your vehicle, you should (at a minimum) follow ALL of the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedules published in your Owners Manual. Just be sure to keep records of the dates and mileages of each service and where it was performed. Keep all receipts in case you need them in the future. It is not necessary for you to have the work done at a Honda dealership. Any independent shop that you know does quality work should be fine.

Black, fog lights, rear wing, roof rack, two bike racks, window tinting, wheel locks , spalsh guards, premium floor mats.
 
Borla Cat-back exhaust ( part no. 140080)
K & N Air Filter.
 
Question: Air conditioner works fine in non-dual mode. Seems not to react as fast or not at all if it is dual mode and there is any substantial diference in the two temperature settings.
 
Sure would like to have had the Canadian heated outside mirrors. Does anyone know if they can be ordered and installed on a US Honda Accord. Lots of morning fog in Houston.
 
I am getting great mileage my first two tanks of gas 23.6, 25.0 Mostly highway at 75-80 mph.
 
Thanks,
