Why do you want to go through the trouble of having power seat? Unless, you want that luxury.

we differ in size and thus the seat has to be adjusted every time we switch cars. I guess you can call it luxury. Oleg

2003 EX Coupe wheel bearing problem by watjol
Jan 26, 2008 (4:57 pm)

I have 89,900 miles on my 2003 Accord EX Coupe, and recently noticed a humming/thudding noise coming from my suspension area. After having it examined today by friend of mine who is a mechanic, it apparently is my drivers side rear wheel bearing. Has anyone had this problem? If so, is it covered by any extended warranty? I get all of my service done at the dealership, and I've had all the regular scheduled maintenance performed. This is my 3rd Honda, and I am surprised that a wheel bearing would be going out so soon (for a Honda). I found a TSB (#11012003) for the wheel bearings, but don't know the details of it. I also don't understand if a Service Bulletin means that they will replace it because of a defect? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That TSB was for a front wheel bearing, not the rear as you indicate yours is.
 
Make : HONDA Model : ACCORD Year : 2003
Manufacturer : HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.)
Service Bulletin Num : 11012003 Date of Bulletin: NOV 01, 2003
NHTSA Item Number: 10009272
Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING
Summary:
 HUMMING OR GROWLING? CHECK THE WHEEL BEARINGS. HONDA. SERVICENEWS. *TT
 
I'd say that almost 90,000 miles is way beyond any warranty consideration for a wheel bearing. It's just a typical maintenance item, as wheel bearings wear out, some sooner, some later.

Accord Vibraton by jfgolf3

What would cause a vibration in a 96 Accord 2.2 L coupe when de-accelerating at engines speed between 2500 and 2000 RPMs. The vibration stops when the car is put in neutral and seems to be related to the drivetrain or exhaust system.

Hi. Just wondering what you have decided to do? I am in the same boat. I have a 98 V6 coupe and it has 143k miles on it. My transmission went out on me. So, I am debating whether to fix it or not.

2008 Honda Accord Coupe Visibility by licouper

I just got the '08 Accord Coupe EX and the ONLY issue I have with it is the major blind spots to the rear (both sides). I hate changing lanes & backing up. Am I the only one with this issue?

I went from the 03 coupe to the 08 coupe, and I agree with you that the new model has a little less visibility to the rear. Overall the car has a larger, higher, and more substantial rear end design so that you have to really use your 3 mirrors and look back over your shoulder to check for clearance. I personally have not had any problems changing lanes since if you have your rear and side mirrors set properly, you should be able to see cars in adjacent lanes in your mirrors. In other words, as cars approach and pass you from your rear, you should be able to first see them in the rearview mirror, and then your field of vision should shift automatically to the side mirrors as the car(s) pass you on the sides. But I still check over my shoulder frequently when I change lanes.
 
I'm relatively tall, so I'm also able to see back through the rear window as I look over my shoulder. If you're shorter, you may need to raise your seat so that you have a more direct angle to the rear as you look back?
 
But I do agree with you that the rear visibility is slightly more compromised in the new coupe. Not enough to freak me out, but I do pay more attention. I noticed that you can order rear parking assist sensors on the new Accord. I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but I can see why some would like the sensors to beep if you get too close to something.
 
One other slight beef that I have is that the shifter (I have the 6speed) is more notchy than on my 03. My previous coupe had a quicker, almost joy-stick like shifter, while the new coupe requires you to be more deliberate as you shift. This is most pronounced from 2nd to 3rd. I used to be able to just "flick" it with a quick wrist, and now I have to more forcefully engage the gear. But I'm hoping the transmission will shift more smoothly as I gradually break the car in.
 
Overall, this is one fun and fast car!

Thanks for the tip! I am only 5'6'' & I did raise the seat as high as it goes (which helped about 50%) but I still have issues with the side back windows & partition dividing the door/ back body of the car. (Maybe I need a seat cushion too- haha!) When I turn my head to double-check before changing lanes, my view is of the body of the car. I'm thinking of getting the after-market back up cameras. Since the EX doesn't have navigation, I cannot get it from the dealer. It seems ridiculous to have to do this, but I am afraid of hitting someone or something while parking in tight spots, changing lanes, etc. Also because of the styling on the lower rear (although it looks cool), makes it harder to judge in parking in tight spots. I am very surprised that I haven't seen too many complaints about visibility.
