Driver: *  *  *  *  *  Passenger: *  *  *  *  *

Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash.

NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Honda Accord Sedan Review
"Honda answers arch-rival Toyota and its 2002 Camry redesign with a redesigned 2003 Accord. Dimensions and weight change little, but there's fresh styling, more power, and some first-time features. Returning are 4-cyl and V6 sedans and coupes in LX and upscale EX trim, plus a price-leader 4-cyl DX sedan. The 4 cyl gains as much as 25 hp, while a revised V6 gains 40 hp. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard for 4-cyl models. Optional with the 4 cyl and included with the V6 is a 5-speed automatic, replacing a 4 speed. Also new for '03 is a sportier EX V6 coupe with 6-speed manual--Accord's first--plus 17-inch wheels vs. 16s or 15s on other Accords.

Also for '03, ABS becomes standard for all Accords, not just high-line models. V6s and 4-cyl EXs continue with 4-wheel disc brakes. Traction control is exclusive to V6 models, where it's standard. Front side airbags are standard on V6 models and the 4-cyl EX, and are available on LX models. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are exclusive to EX V6s, where they're standard.

EXs offer an optional navigation system with voice control for navigation, audio, and climate functions. All models get a tilt/telescope steering column, and all but the base DX include remote keyless entry. Joining leather upholstery as standard on EX V6s are dual-zone automatic climate control and heated seats; these are also available in the leather-upholstered 4-cyl versions, priced as EX-L models. V6s and 4-cyl EXs include an in-dash CD changer."
