I know it has been a long time since the car is on the channel so I apologize for the length of this video! Tried to show as many updates as I could remember while also giving an overview of the car for people new to the channel!
Just got mine the other day it had 166k and it literally is so cool ! Paid 2k for it and has no rust or scratches and 5 speed ?!! Came up especially in the market today gonna use it for moving outta state for college and for work 💯💯💯
My dad bought one 6 years ago with the 5 speed and plans to drive it into the ground. They are such great cars. We are gonna rebuild the engine over the summer, as it leaks oil. Great car otherwise!
I have the exact same color and all except that mine is a V6. I was thinking “this guy should sell cars, he is so eloquent”…. Hahaha, then I saw your channel and seems that’s,what you do. I love the car!
I'm probably late on commenting, but I loved my 7th gen accord. It was my first car, which it was passed done to me from my dad. we drove everywhere in that car and it was reliable through its 300k life span until it was unfortunately totaled. You got you accord around the same time I got my 2013 civic and I seem to drive to much because I have put 31k in less than a year. I love this car it is just that which it was a manual like yours, the 5spd auto in this r18 =slow and boring. But back to the reason I'm commenting; Nice car and I hope you keep it for a long time.
I bought the same car a blue 💙 one and love it. Has plenty of room. Then I noticed how many Honda's are on the road , millions of them. Honda's are great cars and very reliable I paid 1600 and put brakes and a battery on mine. Battery was old.
Hey Jake! Don’t be sorry for the most comprehensive 2003 Honda Accord video on RU-vid:) I just bought my Fifth Honda, 2003 EX 3.0 VTEC with 153k, it’s not as clean but I’ll get it to that clean level of yours in small increments. Thank you for the great video!
Nice looking ride,I love mine ,same color same year, It's just a joy to own and drive, I've had mine since 2018 ,184,000 miles.Easy to work on and very reliable.Ive seen some really custom cool ones well, Going to change the struts and shocks and the front end components soon.Great car.
had a 96 coupe 4 cylinder 5 speed and then an 05 4 cylinder 5 speed sedan, the 05 has almost no steering feel, road feel in general, and the noise isolation is incredibly good compared to the previous generation. It's a lot less engaging I have to say. You sit higher up and the steering is overly power assisted, could do with a little less assistance for better feel. It's still more fun to drive than the average car, mostly due to the manual trans and it gets slightly better mileage but it feels so muted.
I should get one of these. Probably just an LX or something with the K series and an automatic trans. They're so expensive though for being such an old car lol but damn if they'll last 20 years or so since the year of manufacture..
I have a 2004 accord exl and I agree with most of the stuff with you. firstly yeah I have a beige interior and I don't like it. The speakers are amazing. No major problems. It is 3,50,000 kms automatic and still runs like a clock.
@@moneyonmind2412 It is a great car. Just keep them clean and conditioned once in a while if you plan to keep it in a long run. Mine got bad because of my faults. I used to be not gentle with leather. I won't be like this with my next car for sure which will be a Lexus. Congratulations! Enjoy the car! Rev uppp the engine!
@@marvalouslegend30 what's the update with the 🚗 did you fix it? What was the problem, did the owner let you know the issues the 🚗 had before selling it to you??
Progressive, nice. I have them too. Currently having them fix my brand new '16 Rav SE. Got rear-ended on 285 in the Stone Mtn area. Fitting with the Guy's insurance on top of it.
@@AutoRevLife cars 20 years old or older qualify for collector plates ... then you never have to buy tabs ever again that's how it works in minnesota anyway ... you should check where you are
I really want to upgrade the speakers of my 1998 Ranger. Surprisingly the stock ones are fairly good but after driving some newer fancier vehicles at work I can see a lot of improvement could happen haha. I also really need to work on cleaning up and fixing a few things with my door panels (because it's a Ford). Nice video! You may be still catching up to me mileage wise since I'm only at 171k as of now haha.
Wait, I didn't know that this car has the window feature that you can roll down the windows by holding the unlock button, that's awesome, especially for 2003! Nice car! I really like it.
I haven't watched your videos in so long since I've been so busy too lol but I'm glad that you're enjoying your accord. Their is something about Hondas where they still look "fresh" after ten years or so. It's remarkable. My coworker has one Identical to yours accept hers has navigation and it's an automatic but other than that, it's exactly the same. One day, I'll own a Honda too. But for now, I'll just stick with my 2008 cobalt since it's payed for. Lol don't judge me 😂😂 Still runs great too with 167k on it 😬
One of the techs that worked at my store at the time bought it and is basically driving it into the ground. Had like 290k last time I saw it and was absolutely CLAPPED out but still going strong.
I'm thinking about saving for this car as my first car. I've found multiple 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6s with Nav for around $5,000 with about 130-140k miles. Do you think that's a good buy or is the mileage too high?
Hondas last forever. I got the exact Honda in this video at 143k and it's close to 200k have done basic maintenance and basic repairs. No signs of trans issues. Clutch and flywheel still beautiful but that depends on how you drive it (:
Do you still have this car? Mine i do still have it since I bought it 2013 but the difference is yours is manual mine is AT .I want manual grrr but my wife wants AT .They are great car will last you lifetime as long you maintain it and I have no issues whatsoever, I just replaced my self the all engine trans. Etc mounts coz of aging oem parts .I bought it for 4500 has 145 miles on it 2013 now has 208miles on time changing oil Synthetic just SuperTech oil ..Still driving perfect!! My Son driving from work and school coz I have 2012 accord, well as usual I do the basic maintenance coz my son donno crap lol
Hello, my father lost his only 2003 honda transporter chip key. I got a new cut key for the car but i need to program it. Can i do the programing the key step by step by my self. if so thank you very much.
Hey I have the same car and I just wanted to know how I can listen to my music in an audio cord I could not find the plug!thank you and p.s please reply
Hamze Hassan they don’t have aux 🤣🤣 you gotta buy a aftermarket radio they cheap like 200$ 10 inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and much more apps ect.🤙🏻
Jakeman21642 thanks for all the car reviews on this i just picked one up just a few questions what is the brand or model of the dash camera and also where can i get a trash bin like yours
I don't know if you know. But these cars require a Honda specific power steering fluid, That is available at your local auto store.But I had no idea and I would put regular fluid in it,But Since changing the power steering canister and switching to the correct power steering fluid I've had no problems with it no leaks no whining.No ossues at all, I think that's a little more important to share then this garbage he's yapping about. It's just not helpfuĺ.So I got mine was.
I thought the darkest you could go on the front windows in the state of Virginia is 50%? Otherwise your accord is extremely clean compared to most that I've see of that model. Most i've seen have been trashed.
Pretty sure that the 8th gen civic has it (my EP3 didn't) but I really don't know. You can probably at least put the key in the door and bring them up/down.
Jakeman21642 i have the 2006 civic si and my car disnt come with the clicker key like urs it came with the normal key and i was asking so i could buy that key fob and get it made if i could do that because thats soo cool
Hey Jakeman! Did you get rid of the I Heart VTEC license plate frame, or do you still have it? I can't find one like it anywhere... Anyways, thanks for the long update video, I love them for some reason! I know how busy things can get so I don't blame you for how long we had to wait.
Thank you for actually being one of the 5 people that understands there's A LOT going on outside of youtube! The plate frame is still around, decided to slap this one on and we put i
How many miles per tank do you get on average and how many gallons does it take when you fill up your tank? Cause I have one just like yours and it only takes 12 gallons on fill up
Jcrizzy 1135 Typically about 420 (heh) to 450 miles a tank. I've driven the car for so long that I can usually burry the needle and not have to put more than 15 gallons in it.
Jakeman21642 Thanks for replying...cause I'm getting less than 300 miles a tank and I read in the manual it's a 17ish gallon tank but it only wants to take 12 gallons and they say there's a few gallons saved as a reserve
Me too. 2.4 automatic. Just turned 82k miles. It was my dad's. I got it for $3k. He had scraped the passenger rear door on the garage door frame. A body shop wanted $1000 to repair and repaint. I found a door in a scrapyard with same paint code for $175. $80 to have it installed by an employee of the scrapyard after he got off on the same day. Another $185 to replace sagging headliner. Car looks brand new. Total purchase including repairs is approximately $3600. At 82k, It should last me the rest of my life. I drive about 5k a year.
How much you paid? I'm weighing on that idea. A mechanic estimates that service and brake (rotors and pads) for around 1000. I have 104+k miles on it currently
+JakeMan21642 how much did your Michelin tires cost I have Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires and there about half gone and I'm looking at tires sometime soon and I don't want to fork out the $1,054 that discount tire wants I can get the Primacy MXV4 tires at sams club for $500
I think they were around $800 mounted and balanced but the tire shop I used is fairly expensive. If you can get the MXV4's for $500 I'd totally do it because they're basically the older version of the premiers and just as good!
yea I miss my old Honda. It floated away during hurricane sandy back in 2012. I have a 16' TLX now which I love but I cant help wanting a post refresh 7th gen as my everyday beater.
You're prob saying that b/c u used to own a 7th accord :p but yeah, fuck the 8th and 9th accord. Test drove the 2016 one and GOD it was unbearable. My dad wanted me to buy it but I ultimately ended up buying the 2016 civic because it was more updated and better looking. Can't wait to see what the 10th gen accord will be like in 2017. ;)
I actually have some respect for the 9th accord but the 8th accord is absolute garbage. What I know about the upcoming 10th accord is that it will be based on Honda's new global platform which was just used on the new CR-V and Civic so it'll look something like those cars. They're supposedly adding a new engine too so that'll be interesting.
I find it hard to believe that the 10th generation will be anything better than what we've already seen from Honda. The 7th generation was probably their best.
