On the Honda website for car, they have all the break down of what each class has. Just select to view all on the tab there for comparison of models. Honda is very good about having info. on cars compared to many other sites using all flashy stuff and no info.

Now I'm noticing a new rattle. Coincidentally, it seems to be the same rattle you're describing, rbarbot. Tomorrow, when I drive to work, I'll see if it's coming from the steering wheel cover.
This is annoying, the car is not even a month old and it's got rattles. I decided against getting the Hyundai Sonata because of the rattles and thumps that owners were complaining about. At this rate, there's no way I will want to keep this Accord after the lease is up.
I actually grew really fond of that feature on my old 93 Toyota 4-Runner. Turning the key felt like, "Shields up!"
I also liked the fact that the car would lock itself and set the alarm after 30 seconds from closing the door. If I ever forgot to lock up, the truck would take care of itself. Alas, the truck is no more--traded it in.
I wish I had those features on my 07 Accord EX-V6. In fact, I'm thinking of getting an after market Viper OEM alarm put on, just so I can have the passive automatic door locking and alarm setting. Although, it does say somewhere in the manual not to do that. How bad could it be?
I wish I had those features on my 07 Accord EX-V6.
I thank Honda for NOT doing that. I wash my car quite frequently, leaving the keys inside. If the car locked everytime I got out and closed the door, well, that'd leave me looking for the spare set way too much.
Is the glass fully transparant or it becomes little dark in sunlight. I just bought 07 SE I4 and its rear window glass becomes little dark in sunlight.
I think it's a less useful auto lock feature than the one that activates when the car is started or moves faster than 5mph, which the Accord doesn't have.
The other one I had problems with that came on and off (and I was able to turn it off by pushing up the headliner) was the headliner sunglass container piece rattle from above.
My wife's Japanese built and assembled 05 Civic and 07 Civic had no rattles, and have no rattles.
Also don't like the fact that it doesn't allow me to lock the doors until all the doors are closed. Makes it a royal pain in the behind if you've got stuff that you're unloading from the back seat (like my laptop & lunch). Just makes it more difficult by having to juggle laptop, books, lunch while holding onto the key so that I can lock the doors after closing them (or fish in my pockets after closing the door to lock the car). Would be much easier to open the rear door, click on the lock button, put the key away and get my stuff and just close the door.
Seems like a small irritation, but all I'm saying is I hate cars that try to second guess me. If I click unlock on my FOB, I want the car to unlock (and stay unlocked). If I hit lock, then I want the car's locks to go down.
Just curious, do other cars do this? No other car I've owned with keyless entry has either of these behaviors - then again, I've not owned a huge amount of vehicles either.
Many of these lock/unlock options can be changed.
---My famous words---
Read your owner's manual.
Expected it to be perfect, right?
Had a rattle in the driver side inside door handle and front passenger seat belt assembly.
Both disappeared, I assume it's a little like a house settling.
When you open the door, keep the inside handle in the open position. While the handle is in the open position hit the door lock button on the armrest. all doors will lock and your drivers door is still open. Now when you close the door the car is locked.
Sounds a little awkward, but it really isn't.
"I just brought home a brand spanking new EX-L V6 Accord on Saturday and overall love the car in terms of ride / driving dynamics. However, I'm hearing an intermittent rattle coming from the passenger side area when hitting bumps. Does anyone know if this is an issue that will sort itself out over time as the car breaks in and parts start to seat themselves or will I need to take action to eliminate the sound? It's loud enough to be annoying to me, but maybe I'm overly sensitive since the car's new. That's certainly my wife's take on the situation.
BTW, I did have to bring it to the dealership for another noise issue. I was hearing a loud warbling sound from the back of the car at speeds over 50 mph. Took it in and they finally isolated it to the sat radio antenna cover. It wasn't sealed down properly and wind was getting under it and cavitating, causing the warbling. So, if you ever start to hear such a sound, that may be the cause."
Unfortunately, Honda doesn't see fit to allow any sort of customer programming when it comes to the door locks (or anything else for that matter). Maybe they think their customers are too dumb to understand such an option.
My 07 L4 Accord SE, glove box did not light when I open it. Does anyone know where this light and switch to turn it on is?
Deterance is half the battle.
Do you have a separate blinking red light than the one for radio?
A few months ago I was parked right next to a vehicle that was stolen (this was down in Kansas - not up in peaceful SD). My 2006 Sienna with the DVD player etc was passed up for the neighboring 5 year old domestic van. Why? The Sienna does not have the fancy alarm, but you do need a key with the chip, and it does have a blinking red light. The other side of the stolen van was a new Chrysler (I think it had security)
My first reaction was thank goodness I am not stranded here with my family (I knew the guy whose van was stolen - what a nightmare), stangely my second reaction was whats wrong with my van? :confuse:
Does your rattle stop if you pull up( towards your face)on the horn cover?
