Should You Buy a 2004 Honda Accord?: What's not to like about the 2004 Honda Accord? Not much. Millions of families have found happiness here. The new 2.4 engine is a gem, the 5-speed automatic an asset in performance and fuel economy. And as with all Accords, there's a bit of race-based driving fun built in. Our only beef is that the 2004 Honda Accord got bigger, along the way losing some of its lithe styling and maybe a bit of agility when threading through narrow spaces. 2004 Honda Accord Photo: © Honda
