Thinking about buying a 2003 Accord...
 

It's a 2.0 station wagon and has 69.000 km's on it.

Any thoughts about this car, and advise on what I should
look out for would be appreciated.

Comments on all aspects of comfort and driving behavior
would also be nice.

Cheers,
Torbjorn

I think that you're wise in keepin' a four cylinder going. I can only
see much higher fuel prices in our not-too-distant future unless the big
crash occurs, then we probably won't care.

Maybe I should compute the money I save at 45 mpg vs. maybe
30 mpg with a newer car and put the savings towards the
inevitable new car some years down the road. I dunno. My
Civic sounds great. Fluids (appearance and consumption
rates) look pretty good. I am doing the front brakes in
August, then at last maybe buying four new tires and having
an alignment (first ever) done. If that shimmy I mentioned
elsewhere disappears, or if I find a bad motor mount and
replace it, I will be in fat city. I look forward to the TB
job and wish I had a bit more time to savor it. I did the
front crank and camshaft seals in 2004 (so essentially a TB
job) and think this time things will go much quicker.

How's your '82/'83 Honda doing?

Isn't there anyone who has thoughts or experience whatsoever
on this car that they'd like to share?

Sure? Didn't think they put anything smaller than a 2.3 in accords. Or are U
in Norway. I wanted a st wag when I got my 4-door in 01, they didn't make
them. Driving behavior is excellent. Comfort is too. Have somebody lift it
and look for repaired collision evidence.
