$0 Down $39 a week!! The Honda Accord -- one of Americas favorite vehicles -- has been substantially changed for 2003. Continuing as a sedan, the 2003 Honda Accord features a more powerful and fuel-efficient engine, increased safety and higher levels of interior comfort. Unlike many automakers that launch a new car and leave it to molder for nearly a decade, Honda prefers to keep its vehicles fresh and competitive; thus, a new Accord arrives even though the old one is still plenty better than most of the competition on the market. This time around, Honda wanted to introduce some excitement to the Accord lineup. People are expected to consider the Accord for emotional -- as well as practical -- reasons. Performance was quickly identified as one area where improvement was necessary, and to this end Honda has boosted engine power, improved the suspension and reworked the transmissions.
