i think that new accord is really nice. if you get the leather and the navigation system on it, you'll be all set.

you really don't need too much mod on it, all you have to do is put some rims on it and you really don't need to touch it that much.

it's much better accord then the last generation ones.

the seats slide back, steering moves electronically and seats are really really comfortable. it's got ample power and if my lude wasn't so new, i would buy that in a hearbeat over, say nissan sentra or maxima or any other cars in that price range

enjoy it, i know you will

Yeah only thing it doesnt have is the Navi....$2000.00 more just in invoice price..im sure it is even more once it reaches sticker....
I love it so far...you can really tell the 240hp Vtec 3.0 V6 most people downplayed the last V6 which I can understand since it was only 200hp but this 240 is silky smooth and quiet and FAST!!!

accords are nice, but i would have went with the rsx too...

Nice! I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe (auto) in graphite pearl but since my Accord was rear-ended so I'll be trading the car in for another 03' Accord EX-V6 Coupe but this time in Nighthawk Black Pearl.

Have you seen the 03' Accord EX-V6 Coupe 6spd yet? The car looks so much better with the bigger 17in rims and lower profile tires! So definitely bigger rims, lower profile tires, and a good drop will make the new Accord look really good! BTW, I really don't like the stock 16in rims on the V6 Accords.

I would never trade in my Prelude tho. I still have it along side the new Accord. The only reason I bought the new Accord was to replace my daily rider (92' Ford Mustang 5.0).

Congrats on the new car! IMO, the car was a good buy!

weren't the 6speeds coming out this month?

how about the factory sports package, when will that be available.

boilers · 02-09-2003, 09:45 PM

wow, nice car

How's the new engine in the new accord ? I haven't had any time to test drive the new 240 hp V6. Bet it's sweet

00prelude_tx · 02-09-2003, 10:11 PM

I think it is very notice able. I had the Base Prelude SS and now the auto V6 low end is much nicer and high end is still very nice as it was in the lude.

00prelude_tx · 02-09-2003, 10:11 PM

Yeah I saw your car DREW. that sucks man. Im on accordv6 as well.

JaXx4k · 02-10-2003, 12:07 PM

SH for a 03' accord??? personally i wouldnt do so...payin $28,500 might as well add another $4-5000 n cop a CL-TYLE S

but i would keep the sh just cuz is discountinue..=(

nice upgrade tho...

94AccordSedan · 02-10-2003, 03:01 PM

I've been to a couple of honda dealers and the V6/6spd is VERY rare, supposedly every dealership gets only one and the markup automaically is 3k+ and you should get the OEM kit for it, I haven't seen it in person but if the yellow SEMA accord is anything like the OEM kit.... MMMMMM

D R E W · 02-10-2003, 03:07 PM

The 6spd Coupe just became available. I was there at the Honda Dealership when they pulled in their very first 6spd Coupe into the showroom floor. The 6spd Coupe looks sooo nice with the bigger rims and lower profile tires!

The 6spd Coupe comes with a special badge. The V6 emblem is red on chrome instead of black on chrome and where the foglights would go the black molded housing is different from the 5spd Auto. The leather interior is different as well. Other than those things you really can't tell the 5spd Auto from the 6spd manual apart from a distance.

The underbody spoiler kit is already available.

JAXX my Lude wasnt an SH...it was a base SS

If I had another $4000-5000 I would have gotten a more expensive car. I only get what my funds allow me to. Sometime I get in over my head.
