    Hello

    Can someone kindly tell me which is the better, which is second and
    lastly which has least options; LX EX & SE?

    In other words... what's the difference in the 3 models.

    Thank you

    Of the series listed, the LX has the least "stuff". The SE usually
    seems to show up in the last year of a body style and is equipped very
    closely to an EX model. The EX is the higest trimmed model.

    Are we talking about options or standard features? Assuming you mean
    standard features (even though you said options), I think it depends on the
    model and the year. For example, in 2000, the order in the case of the
    Accord (fewest features to most) is LX - SE - EX. But that's a little
    misleading, since the SE that year (I own one) was essentially an LX with a
    discounted option package that included air conditioning, some interior
    trim, and a few other things. And then there was the DX, at the bottom of
    the line.

    My understanding is that in at least some other years, the SE was the top of
    the line in terms of features. Maybe someone else can tell you for sure; the
    2000 is the only Accord I've owned.

    Not sure about other car models (Civic, etc.). I know there have been LX and
    EX versions of the Civic, but I don't recall ever seeing a Civic SE.

    What he said.

    Used to be a DX model too, below the LX.

    Now we have:
    http://automobiles.honda.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Accord+Sedan

    Starting
    MSRP Trim
    Level

    $18,625
    Value Package

    $20,125
    LX

    $20,825
    Special Edition

    $22,550
    EX

    $23,350
    SE V-6

    $25,200
    LX V-6

    $27,400
    EX-L V-6 6MT

    $27,400
    EX-L V-6

    So there's SE, and "Value Package". They no longer put LX/EX/SE
    badges on the fender, so they can change the SE offer any time they
    want.

    One thing I forgot to mention is that, in 2000 at least, some of the SE
    models were built in Japan. The SE came in three colors: red, dark green and
    bronze. As far as I can tell (based on my shopping experiences in the
    Atlanta area), all the red ones were made in Japan and all the green and
    bronze ones were made in Ohio. I was never able to find out why, and I have
    no idea which other models/years are of Japanese origin. As far as I know,
    most if not all Accords now sold in the U.S. are built in this country.

    No.

    I think it's possible all or most of the V6's are made in the US, but
    I believe last year the I4's were made in Japan, at least those
    available on the west coast - at least mine!

    According to a Honda fact sheet available online, all Accord coupes are made
    in North America. That would include four-cylinder models. The same fact
    sheet says some Accord sedans are made in Marysville, Ohio. And another
    Honda site says the Honda engine plant in Anna, Ohio, makes four-cylinder
    engines for Accords, among other models. All of which leads me to believe
    that at least some four-cylinder Accords are still being made in the U.S.
    It's possible some are being imported from Japan, especially to the west
    coast. That might make sense, depending on transportation costs and other
    factors.

    Not that any of this particularly matters.

  12. For Accords, it depends on the model year. On the 1991 and 1993 Accords, SE
    was the top model.

  14. Don't forget the "VP" (Value Package) which replaced the true low end
    model, the DX.

    Same for the 1989 model Accord. The SE-i had leather seats, Bose
    radio and some other goodies.
