Hi guys,

I plan on getting a Honda car. I have someone who wants to sell Nigeria used Honda accord 2003, it's clean, first body, but I read lot of reviews about the car. I heard Honda's from 2000-2003 do have leg issues, transmission etc.

Is it advisable to go for the honda accord 2003 and also I plan on using it more frequently.
make sure you are going with a sound mechanic who will check the engine and transmission and confirm both as ok. If possible, scan the car. As for the ball t problem, it’s a problem with the accord up to 2007. You will hear the signs when it starts to go bad. My advise is to fix an original ball t that will last really long for you after you have gotten the car.

All the best.

Don’t buy if car isn’t sound.

its a good and reliable car.but why not get 2004 upwards.If you can avoid the 2003 and get upwards model.Do your checks and use better ball t and drive in peace.It worked for me

It is based on the 2011 yo 2017 civic sedan. Depends on what engine you are buying, comes in 2.0L, 2L and 1 5L plus electric motor (hybrid). I did say stick to the 2.0 and 2.4L due to technical know how.

Should be reliable considering it's a more rushed up civic. But body parts may be expensive it's a rare ride

Does this mean the Avalon rides as smooth as the es? Does it have soft suspensions like the es as well?

I don’t know about the Acura but the accord is 10/10 very reliable and parts are readily available. Get the v6.

Benz w203 is okay, but buy from 2005 to 2007 because of improvements in interior and all. Most people would agree on a NA engine than the turbo charged variants.

The Acura TSX is same as Accord of same year except it is more luxurious.

I have always loved the TSX and ire it, but the w203 too isn't bad though a bit smaller than the TSX and cramped in the back seat.

Reliability the TSX is tops, fuel economy any 4cylinder of both would do.

Low maintenance is on par to a degree

I am certain the 2005 acura TSX does not require gasoline. Though it maybe recommended but not required.
