Just bought this exact twin. Love it so far. Picked it up for $1500. Very happy about that!
1.5k hell nah
@@Trinity369xoxo that’s a good price
@@wilsonordonezmata6144 especially in this market but then again, that comment was a year ago
yikes the same car is going for 9k near me with 37k miles. Worth?
@@HusseyStars get a cheaper one with 100k miles
We lost my dad's 05 accord sedan 4 cylinder with 198,000 miles on her about 5 months ago :( some idiot in a truck rear ended him while it was raining on the highway on his way to work and the car ended up being totaled. It was sad because the car was so smooth and reliable. We bought my mom a new 2016 accord v6 sedan in white and my dad took my moms old car which is a 2008 accord with 100,000 miles on the clock currently.
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!
Yesssss finally. Love these updates. Love the car and love the famous "film spot"
Just bought a 2001 Honda accord coupe 4 cylinder 5 speed and I love it!
Any Accord before the 8th gen is beast imo.
07 accord is better
Hey Jake!
Don’t be sorry for the most comprehensive 2003 Honda Accord video on CZcams:)
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!
How much you paid
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.
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.

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.
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 😬
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!
A very nice and 'in depth' review.... Thank you.
Yes finally an accord update
the lip spoiler would look great. it would definitely complete the look. great video
I love Honda Civic and Honda Accord
My mom has a 04 EX V6 and I love it
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.
Looks good man! I just bought a 2003 EXL today, that's what made me come to this video
How much did you pay?
How do you like it so far ?
@@filthy_javi_9620 $2300
@@marcoenrique8309 worked for 3 days now it doesn't start lol
@@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??
I agree absolutely..my 03 Accord LX has 465000km..owned since new..great car
"That's incredible, how do you maintain it, what oil do you use, what is the No. 1 advice you can give to have your success with your 🚗 ?
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.
Have the exact same car in Graphite Pearl. Plan to drive it until it can’t anymore. Terrific car!!
"How do you maintain it, what are your tips, what oil do you use?
Yo much love. Thank you!
Nice job on the video, would you provide the links for the dash cam
How good is the clutch holding up so far on your accord?
Did you have any transmission or power steering problems with the 2003 Accord? I'm looking at buying a 7th Gen Accord myself. And its GOLD!!!! :)
That's a beautiful car
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
Jake do u have advice for removing watersports from exterior car windows?
What Bluetooth kit did you put in and does it work all four speakers? Just bought a 2003 EXL V6 with 115k on it.
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.
why don’t you like beige interior? Is it hard to clean ?
@@moneyonmind2412 As it gets old, it shows the age more than black. Just makes the car feel old
@@savjottoor7910 I just bought one with the beige today in mint condition but i’ll keep that in mind
@@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!
next year that qualifies for collector plates
How so?
@@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
@@shiddy. thanks for letting me know! I live in a different state and they only offer antique plates, which have some driving restrictions on them
I love the rear headlights of the honda accord especially the 03 to 04 rear headlights than the 07 accords
I wouldn’t be covering my car in stickers that’s kinda kiddish but I like the review I will look into this car
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.
For the price point This has nothing on a Lexus model from the same year but great review of the daily driver
Jackeman21642 did your honda come with the wheel locks my 03 accord didn't come with the wheel locks
what’s the auxiliary kit you got called? do you have a link
I put my aftermarket in the storage spot underneath the factory radio.
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.
What happen to the stock shift knob??
So how’d you install the Bluetooth option?
How did you have bt on your car?
It's been a year ago today, WE NEED AN UPDATE AGAIN!
How long have you been waiting to make that comment?!
hahaha, 365 days??? Naw, but really, I've watched this before and again today and just noticed the date stamp. But that update though?? lol
Honda's are great.
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.

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
Wtf your 7gen come with the sun visor extension, but my 7gen EX V6 does not?!
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.🤙🏻
2003 HONDA ACCORD!🗣️❗️
Wow and we have a 2019 homda accord
I got the same gear knob on my 2007 accord
i just bought 2005 one owner 80000km for 6500 cad.. hope it was good investment,,car is next to mint
is that window opening from from the key only for that gen accord or is it for the civics to?
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
i have a lx 03 same color
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.
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
Josh Crooks I get less than 300 miles on a 110k mikes accord
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 (:
@@elanadurrick2705 what do you mean when you say how you drive it, is there a best way to drive, what oil do you use for the engine?
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
Where is the Accord these days? And how is it doing?
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.
Anybody noticed the lighter ? And the weeedd ?
Julio Dominguez 😂😂😂
Do the manual 2003 Accords have the transmission issue like the auto?
no
Nope
I have a 04 Lx... same color
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.
Idk if it was worth it so far, but I bought one for 9k with only 74k miles lol
I just got a 2005 honda Accord LX. It's a manual
is it v6 or v4 ??
27:10
So like, when are you gonna shlam it on its nutz???
haha my first car was an 03 accord in desert mist metallic with the ivory interior and of course the fake wood grain.
Los Pollos Hermanos Not saying that makes it a bad car by any means! Just prefer the black interior as well as it ages so much better.
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.
I work on a lot Accords with the same bodystyle. I would buy an 07 model with a stick.
Mr. Nationwide I just brought my first used car it’s a Honda Accord Ex 2003 I do love Honda Accord car
@@TBR.. I changed my mind on buying a Honda. I ended up a 2009 Chevy Colorado instead it's more reliable.
had a silver one just like this the interior was very nice but i have a 2015 model now but with leather seats that gets hot haha
+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!
The transmission on my 2003 Accord EX-L V6 just went out @ 145,000 miles. Time for me to retire it after 13 years. :'(
Was is automatic or also manual?
+Lukas the Mercedes Freak and car nut Automatic. It has been a great and reliable car up until now! Bought it new with 8 miles on it.
Did you ever change the timing belt and water pump?
Nam HT Nguyễn Yes, I did have both changed/replaced by the Honda dealer at the recommended mileage.
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
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.
Technically it is unless you have a prescription which I may or may not have. So far not a single issue and I've driven the car all over the state.
I agree with the aftermarket head units. They are ugly
Best Accord imo. (with cb7 coming in close 2nd). Anything newer is pretty much for the most part, crap.
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.
@@warrenf5821 I owned a 7th Gen and loved it, I’ve got a 2020 Accord now. Both are great but the 10th gen is an incredible car.
Mine has a nastier scratch
But now you don’t own a honda
Car Tech Gaming and I couldn't be happier!
Jakeman21642 so you don’t like Honda anymore?? I love tour videos btw
